Helicobacter pylori associated effects on inflammatory radical formation and angiotensin II receptors in the stomach
(2007-10-22)Helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach always results in mucosal inflammation and a marked systemic immune response. Despite the profound host defence reactions the bacterium avoids elimination and persists in the ... -
Regional fluxes of tissue plasminogen activator in porcine endotoxemia
(2007-10-30)Formation of fibrin clots in the microcirculation during severe sepsis contributes to organ failure, frequently involving the lungs and the splanchnic organs. Tissue type plasminogen activator, tPA, is the key activator ... -
Improved bioenergetic recovery during experimental ischemia and reperfusion by irradiation
(2007-11-16)Prolonged ischemia and reperfusion frequently occur during clinical operations. The bioenergetic status decreases during ischemia and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are formed during reperfusion, which may lead to irreversible ... -
