Interactions of Anticancer Active Platinum(II) Complexes with DNA

Popular Abstract in Swedish I dag används cellhämmande medel, cytostatika, ofta i kombination med andra metoder för behandling av vissa typer av cancer. Cytostatika kan bota t.ex. leukemi, testikel- och lymfkörtelcancer, eller lindra symtomen och förlänga livet vid t.ex. småcellig lungcancer. En grupp av cytostatika utgörs av metallkomplex där metallen är platina (Pt). Upptäckten av en sådan förenThe kinetics and mechanism for interactions of the anticancer active platinum(II) complexes cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2)], cis-[PtCl2(NH3)(c-C6H11NH2)], and trans-[PtCl2-(NH3)(quinoline)] with DNA have been studied using a combination of HPLC, circular dichroism (CD), UV/vis spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Reactions of the monoaqua forms (charge = +1) of these complexes with single

On the Application of Surface Wave Surveys for Seismic Site Response Evaluation

Popular Abstract in English The work presented here is about methods that will enable more precise estimates of soil and rock parameters related to seismic hazard mapping, in particular when resources are limited. This will allow for evaluating the seismic risk in countries where earthquakes are frequent and large budgets are not available. Particularly, the study of ground response due to the eneIn sites where earthquakes occur, the use of surface wave methods represents a convenient and effective procedure for soil characterization. In particular, Multichannel Analysis of Surface Wave (MASW) has become a popular tool in many seismic micro-zoning projects. In common practice the active MASW method is implemented using a sledgehammer source and a linear receiver spread. This method is lim

Real-time dynamic MLC tracking for inversely optimised arc radiotherapy

Purpose: Radiotherapy of moving tumours is a great challenge in cancer treatment. The moving target will lead to “dose-smearing” of the planned dose distribution and a need for larger margins. To reduce the dose to the surrounding healthy tissue, while still ensuring full coverage of the target, other methods for motion compensation is needed. Inversely optimised arc radiotherapy, where the treatm

Super Elderly Patients with Distal Radius Fractures: A Register Based Study Evaluating Mortality

Background:With a rapidly ageing population, the number of wrist fractures will rise dramatically in the super-elderly (>80 years) group. In previous published studies regarding mortality after wrist fractures elderly are often defined using a rather wide age-span, the threshold has been set to somewhere between 50-70 years. However, elderly defined as a group this way is probably too imprecise. D

Molecular and microscopical analysis of pathogenic streptococci - studies on surface proteins interacting with human cells and extracellular matrix

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vi är omringade av olika mikrorganismer såsom bakterier och svampar. Bakterier kan leva från de mest ogästvänliga miljöer som arktisk is och varma källor på havsbotten till varje människas hud och mag- tarmkanal. Bakterier som bor på och inuti oss spelar en stor roll i vårt välbefinnande. De hjälper oss att smälta maten och hindrar andra mer farliga bakterier från att bAssociation to specific host tissue structures allows pathogenic bacteria to establish an infection and facilitates the spread within its host. Interactions between bacterial surface structures and human proteins might determine the outcome of the infection. Streptococcus pyogenes (S. pyogenes), is a human pathogen mostly causing localized infections of the skin and respiratory tract, but it is al

Genes predisposing to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular mortality

Popular Abstract in Swedish Typ 2 diabetes är en sjukdom där dels bukspottkörtelns förmåga att producera hormonet insulin och dels kroppens förmåga att svara på insulin (insulinkänslighet) är nedsatt. Eftersom insulin behövs för att ta upp socker (glukos) från blodet i organ som muskel och fett, är glukoskoncentrationen i blodet förhöjd hos typ 2 diabetiker. Med hjälp av olika behandlingar såsom dCardiovascular complications are frequent in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular death is the most common cause of death for these individuals. A region on chromosome 19 (19q13) has been indicated by several genome scans as a susceptibility locus for T2D or components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). This gene rich region contains the gene encoding muscle glycogen synthase (GYS1), earlier as

Disaster risk management and climate change adaptation in urban contexts: Integration and challenges

Popular Abstract in English Disasters continue to affect urban populations and housing infrastructure. They are intensified by extreme weather events caused by climate change. This situation has made the creation of synergies between climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk management (DRM) urgent. Despite their similarities and the recognised need to unite CCA and DRM efforts, the fieldsAn increasing number of disasters continue to affect urban populations and housing infrastructure. The overwhelming majority of them have been caused by climate-related events. This situation has made the creation of synergies between climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk management (DRM) urgent. Despite the recognised need to unite CCA and DRM efforts, the fields remain separate. Furt

Involvement of Heparan Sulphate Biosynthesis and Turnover in Cell Proliferation. A Novel Role for Nitric Oxide in Recycling of Heparan Sulphate Proteoglycans.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteoglykaner (PG), framför allt sådana som bär glykosaminoglykan-sidokedjor av heparansulfat (HS) typ, utgör multifunktionella receptorer på cellytan och i pericellulär matrix hos alla adherenta celler i högre organismer. HS-proteoglykaner är inblandade i många olika cellprocesser, bl.a. koagulation, celltillväxt, och aktivering av enzymer, antienzymer samt bindning tThe present investigation focuses on the role of HS metabolism in cell proliferation. The effect of the HS priming ß-D-xyloside, 2-(6-hydroxynaphthyl)-O-ß-D-xylopyranoside (Xyl-2-Nap-6-OH) on the proliferation of normal and transformed cells was studied. Xyl-2-Nap-6-OH inhibited growth of transformed cells to a significantly greater extent than normal cells. The growth inhibition exerted by the xy

Lipid sponge phase nanostructures as carriers for enzymes

Lipids are organic molecules vital for living organisms. They are part of cell membranes and provide an important energy reserve once they are digested by our body. They are most commonly known as fats and oils. Some important so-called polar lipids are amphiphilic molecules, which means they have a head group that is water ‘loving’ (hydrophilic) and a hydrocarbon tail is water ‘hating’ (hydrophobNonlamellar lipid liquid crystalline phases have many potential applications, such as for drug delivery, protein encapsulation or crystallization. Lipid liquid crystalline sponge phase (L3) has so far not been very much considered in these applications, in spite of apparent advantages in terms of its flexibility and capacity of forming large aqueous pores able to encapsulate large bioactive molecu
