The rat urinary bladder responded to infravesical obstruction by an increased weight. The weight began to increase after 3 days of obstruction. After 10 days the weight gain had become significant, but increased further with time. At 90 days the bladders weighed 12 times the initial weight. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity per unit bladder weight increased with the duration of the obstruction.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Geografisk fördelning av inomartsvariation i vittspridda Euroasiska skogsväxter Torbjörn Tyler Sammanfattning av författaren's doktorsavhandling Inledning Arter's utbredningar bestäm's inte bara av omvärldsfaktorer som klimat och jordmån utan även av de möjligheter det givit's dem att sprida sig. För att sprida sig över stora geografiska områden kräv's tid och i en väMany woodland plant species have huge distribution areas covering large parts of the Eurasian continent including areas that were glaciated during the last glacial period. In the present thesis, the geographic distribution of variation within such species is investigated and discussed in relation to glacial survival and post-glacial migration, dispersal ability, breeding system and levels of gene-
The interaction of ink and newspaper has been investigated and the specific question of penetration of ink into the paper has been addressed with a nuclear microprobe using particle induced X-ray emission, The penetration depth of the newsprint is a critical factor in terms of increasing the quality of newsprint and minimising the amount of ink used. The objective of the experiment was to relate t
BACKGROUND: Ion channel transient receptor potential A1 (TRPA1) and cannabinoid (CB) receptors are involved in mechanoafferent signaling from the bladder and the urethra. OBJECTIVE: To characterize TRPA1-, CB1-, and CB2-receptor activities in the human prostate. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Prostate specimens were obtained from 12 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. We studied express
Mechanisms involved in the islet adaptation to insulin resistance were examined in mice of the C57BL/6J strain challenged with a high-fat (58%) diet for 8 weeks. Basal hyperglycemia commenced after 1 week, whereas hyperinsulinemia evolved after 8 weeks. Glucose elimination after an intravenous glucose challenge (1 g/kg) was significantly delayed after 1, 4, and 8 weeks on the high-fat diet compare
AimDespite new therapies, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is still incurable. Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM-1) is a well-characterized cell surface protein involved in prostate cancer pathogenesis, differentially expressed during transition from hormone-sensitive to CRPC. This study aimed to investigate ICAM-1 as a target for imaging and radioimmunotherapy of CRPC.MethodsAntiDespite new therapies, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is still incurable.

Här studeras konceptet ’zero waste’, ungefär ’inget avfall’, applicerat på livsmedelsindustrin, och hur den miljömässiga påverkan skiljer sig mellan ett förpackningslöst scenario som kan ses i en nischad, dansk livsmedelsbutik, och ett konventionellt scenario, där två typiska produkter i vanliga matbutiker används som referenser. I den danska butiken säljs havregryn i gravitationsmatare (gravity dThis study investigates the zero-waste concept applied to the food industry, and how the environmental impact differs between a package-free scenario found at a specialised Danish retail-store and a conventional scenario, using two reference products typically found in normal retail stores in Sweden. In the Danish store, the oats are sold in gravity dispensers, and the rapeseed oil is sold in glas
Semenogelin I and II (Sgl, Sgll) are two separate gene products of chromosome 20 with extensive (80%) identity in primary structure. They are mainly responsible for immediate gel formation of freshly ejaculated semen. Degradation of Sgl and Sgll is due to the proteolytic action of prostate-specific antigen (PSA); it results within 5-15 minutes in liquefaction of semen and release of progressively
Osteoarthritis (OA) and pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) are disorders associated with trisomy 7. The aim of the present study was to determine the frequency and distribution of the cells with +7 in vivo by analyzing sections of paraffin-embedded synovia from patients affected by OA, PVNS, other forms of synovitis [hemorragic synovitis (HS) and chronic synovitis (CS)], and from individuals
The clitoris contributes to the normal female sexual response cycle. A significance of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP) has been assumed in the control of clitoral vascular smooth muscle. As only a few investigations on the physiology of the vascular and non-vascular clitoral tissue have been carried out, knowledge on the mechanisms controlling this particular female genital organ is still vag
Background: Late effects induced by radiotherapy (RT) are of great concern for mediastinal Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) patients and it is therefore important to reduce normal tissue dose. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact on the normal tissue dose and target coverage, using various combinations of intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and
Drinking water distribution systems directly affect the quality of life, public health, and the reliability of essential water services. This study evaluates the hydraulic performance and operational efficiency of the Kirke Eskilstrup drinking water distribution network in Denmark using hydraulic modelling in MIKE+. Furthermore, a stakeholder value analysis was included to identify how the modelli
Pneumococci isolated from the ear exudate in 245 children under 10 years of age afflicted with acute otitis media were typed. Types 3, 6, 14, 18, 19 and 23 were found in 80% of the cases. In the remaining cases, 15 other types were found. Five strains were not typable with the antisera used. Types 14 and 23 were found twice as often in the age group 0-3 years as in the higher age groups, whereas t
We have carried out a comprehensive molecular mapping of PG-M/versican isoforms V0-V3 in adult human tissues and have specifically investigated how the expression of these isoforms is regulated in endothelial cells in vitro. A survey of 21 representative tissues highlighted a prevalence of V1 mRNA, demonstrated that the relative frequency of expression was V1>V2>V3greater than or equal toV2; and s
Objective: To study transitions from and to chronic widespread pain (CWP) over 7 years in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Method: Two postal questionnaires were sent to patients included in the BARFOT (Better Anti-Rheumatic Pharmacotherapy) study, the first in 2010 and the second in 2017. The questionnaires assessed pain, number of tender and swollen joints, functional disability, health-
In this study, we perform paleontological and sedimentary research of three sections, Tianjiayuanzi, Jiulongwan, and Qinglinkou, located within the carbonate platform of the Huangling Anticline in the eastern Three Gorges area, Yichang City, Hubei Province. The aim is to investigate the spatial distribution patterns of microfossils in silicified bands from the lower Member III of the Doushantuo Fo
BACKGROUND: Lead time, the estimated time by which screening advances the date of diagnosis, is used to calculate the risk of overdiagnosis. We sought to describe empirically the distribution of lead times between an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and subsequent prostate cancer diagnosis. METHODS: We linked the Swedish cancer registry to two independent cohorts: 60-year-olds sampled in 1
