Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen studeras plasminogenaktiverings-systemets (PA-systemets) komponenter i livmoderslemhinnan. PA-systemet reglerar omvandlingen av plasminogen till plasmin. Plasminogen är ett inaktivt enzym som finns överallt i kroppsvätskor samt i kroppens olika organ. Aktiveringen katalyseras av aktivatorer, antingen urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) eller tissue plasThe release of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) from endometrial stromal cells decreased after progesterone stimulation, due to upregulation of PA inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and uPA receptor (uPAR). Subsequently, the uPA:PAI-1 complex was internalized and degraded via uPAR. Predecidual cells in the late secretory phase expressed PAI-1 and uPAR, supporting a specific role for predecidual cells in the

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a known blood-borne hepatotropic virus for which antibody screening of blood donors is universally practiced. The newly identified GB virus C (GBV-C) and its strain variant hepatitis G virus (HGV) are of unknown pathogenic significance, and screening of blood donors for this agent has not yet been implemented. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the most sensi

Purpose: Healthy spinal balance is dependent on spinal sagittal alignment. It is evaluated by several spinopelvic measures. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of age and body mass index and the bone mineral density on the several vertebral measures and sagittal spinopelvic measurements. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 89 female patients were grouped accordi

One of the most common types of bridges in Sweden is the integral bridge. What characterizes the integral bridge is the lack of bearings and expansion joints. The advantage of this construction is that the horizontal forces can be distributed throughout the structure. A problem is the restraint forces that occur due to, for instance, changes in temperature. Integral bridges are now often designed

One of the most cited studies within the field of binary choice models is that of Klein and Spady (1993), in which the authors propose a semiparametric estimator for use when the distribution of the error term is unknown. However, although theoretically appealing, the estimator has been found to be difficult to implement, and therefore not very attractive from an applied point of view. The current

Oscillation frequency and damping of electro-mechanical modes in a power system have traditionally been determined from events caused by large disturbances such as line switchings or generator tripping. Recent papers have shown the possibility to extract this information during normal operation from measurements of power through, or angle difference across, a transmission line. In this paper these

The food processing industry is integral to modern society, with increasing demands for efficiency and sustainability. Industrial food freezers, such as the JBT Marel’s GyroCompact spiral freezer, are energy-intensive systems operating for extended durations daily, making energy efficiency improvements critical both economically and environmentally. This thesis aims to develop a vision-based monit

Hirschsprung’s disease is a rare, congenital disease characterized by a lack of nerves in parts of the gastrointestinal tract. The disease is often diagnosed early in a child’s life, as the lack of nerves inhibits the passing of stool. Surgery is required to remove the affected part of the intestine. Today intra-operative biopsies are taken to determine where the diseased part of the intestine end

The bone marrow hematopoietic microenvironment (HME) plays a pivotal role in regulating normal and diseased hematopoiesis. However, the spatial organization of the human HME has not been thoroughly investigated yet. Therefore, we developed a three-dimensional (3D) immunofluorescence model to analyze changes in the cellular architecture in control and diseased bone marrows (BMs). BM biopsies from p

OBJECTIVE: To determine microvascular diameter and perivascular interstitium thickness at the lung surface in the in situ, in vivo lung. METHODS: Microscopic images of the lung surface collected through a "pleural window" by a videocamera were digitized with a monochrome frame grabber (512 x 512 pixels, 8 bits per pixels) to be computer analyzed by image processing techniques. RESULTS: We found th

Eighty basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in 21 patients, 10 lesions of Bowen's disease in three patients, and four lesions of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma in two patients, were treated with photodynamic laser therapy (PDT), using topical application of the haem precursor delta-amino levulinic acid (ALA). The diagnoses were confirmed histologically prior to treatment. Fifty-five of the BCCs were superficia

I Zinkgruvan, Sverige, bryts zink, bly och silver ur en stratiform malmkropp. Denna anses vara syngenetiskt avsatt och återfinns i metavulkaniska och metasedimentära bergarter. En förkastning, Knallaförkastningen, delar malmförekomsten i två delar. Den västra delen, Knalla, är kraftigt deformerad medan den östra, Nygruvan, har en väl utvecklad lagring. Stratigrafiskt under Zn-Pb-Ag- malmen i västrAt Zinkgruvan, Sweden, zinc, lead and silver are mined from a stratiform ore body. It is considered syngenetic and situated in metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks. A fault, the Knalla fault, separates the Zinkgruvan deposit into two parts. In the western part, Knalla, the ore is severely deformed, whereas in the eastern part, Nygruvan, a distinct layering occurs. In the western part of Knalla,

Background/Aims: The aim was to investigate the effect of blood inflow occlusion on lesion size and ultrasonographic findings during interstitial laser thermotherapy of normal liver. Methodology: Pigs were treated with or without hepatic inflow occlusion at a laser power of 3 W or without inflow occlusion at 5 W (target temperature 43°C). The thermotherapy system consisted of an Nd:YAG laser and a

Water mist systems have seen an increase in use as an alternative clean agent fire suppressant since the late 1980s after the use of Halon gases were discontinued. One of the potential uses of these systems is to provide a protective curtain between a fire and desired target. The following experimental work investigates the radiation attenuation abilities of a single water mist spray. These experi

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning/Populärwissenschaftliche Zusammenfassung (först på svenska/Schwedisch och därefter på tyska/Deutsch)Nästan alla metalliska material som används idag är legeringar. Detta beror på att legeringen har förbättrade fysiska egenskaper som hållfasthet, slitstyrka och korrosionsbeständighet och dessutom bättre prestanda vid höga temperaturer jämfört med de enskilda rena This thesis reports on surface studies of industrial materials whose importance for society manifests in the vast range of applications. In industrial materials alloying is performed in order to improve the parent material's physical and mechanical properties such as strength, corrosion and wear resistance, as well as high temperature performance in comparison to the pure metal.Even though metals

OBJECTIVE: Left heart failure (LHF) is a common and frequently overlooked condition owing to insufficient diagnostic methods. This can potentially delay onset of treatment. Our clinical experience with ventilation/perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (V/P SPECT) indicates that perfusion shows an antigravitational distribution pattern in LHF. The aim of the study was to test the hyp

Objective. In systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma), T cells infiltrate organs undergoing fibrotic changes and may participate in dysregulated production of collagen by fibroblasts. The objective of this study was to functionally characterize T cells infiltrating skin lesions in early SSc and investigate their capacity to affect production of type I collagen and interstitial collagenase (matrix me
