Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate associations between having visited the theatre/cinema and an arts exhibition during the past year and all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer and other-cause mortality. Methods: The 2008 public health postal survey in Scania, Sweden, was distributed to a stratified random sample of the adult population (18–80 years old). The participation rat
May 2022 Riktlinjer för stöd från NanoLund till internationella forskningsvistelser NanoLund önskar att stödja internationellt utbyte och inspirationsbesök i ledande internationella forskningsmiljöer. Pengar kan sökas närsomhelst under året från den exekutiva gruppen (ca 1 A4-sida). Resmål, resans längd och syfte med resan ska framgå. En budget för den förväntade totalkostnaden och sökt belopp är

Prefekten informerar • Lönerevision 2016. Årets lönerevison är tidigarelagd vilket kommer att påverka de tider som i vanlig ordning kom- mer att erbjudas för lönesamtal. Mer info om detta och hur stor löneramen är kommer i början av juni. • Fördelning av medel till grundutbildningen. I den diskussion som under april förts mellan Socialhögskolan, In- stitutionen för psykologi och Samhällsvetenskapl

Closing implementation gaps through sustainable action nets This project deals with the principle formulated by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency that sustainable waste policy should be oriented toward waste prevention and not only waste management. National authorities can steer through decisions and legislation, and introduce incitements and control mechanisms. But practical responsibi

Background: Nigeria is a major contributor to the global malaria burden. The genetic diversity of malaria parasite populations as well as antibody responses of individuals in affected areas against antigens of the parasite can reveal the transmission intensity, a key information required to control the disease. This work was carried out to determine the allelic frequency of highly polymorphic Plas
Complement C2 deficiency (C2D) is associated with immunological diseases and increased susceptibility to invasive infections caused by encapsulated bacteria such as Neisseria menigitidis. In this study we evaluate the immunogenicity of vaccination against N. menigitidis in C2D. C2D patients (n=22) and controls (n=52) were given a tetravalent meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine. Serum bactericidal
Objective. Antileukoproteinase (ALP) is a physiologic inhibitor of granulocytic serine proteases. The present study was undertaken to investigate its therapeutic benefit in an antibody-transfer model of erosive polyarthritis and to elucidate its potential to interfere with immune complex-dependent inflammatory pathways. Methods. Arthritis development was induced in male (BALB/c x B10.Q)F-1 mice by
Transplantation of allogeneic embryonic neural tissue is a potential treatment for patients with Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases. The supply of human donor tissue is limited, and alternatives such as the use of animal (e.g., porcine) donor tissue are currently being evaluated. Before porcine grafts can be used clinically, strategies to prevent neural xenograft rejection must be developed. Kn
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) are diseases characterized by IgA deposits in the kidney and/or skin. Both may arise after upper respiratory tract infections, but the pathogenic mechanisms governing these diseases remain unclear. Patients with IgAN (n = 16) and HSP (n = 17) were included in this study aimed at examining whether IgA-binding M proteins of group A streptococ
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are evolutionarily ancient molecules. They are essential innate immune response molecules that protect organisms from invading pathogens. Tissue factor pathway inhibitors (TFPI-1 and TFPI-2) C-terminal derived peptides exert host defense mechanisms against microbes. Studies showed that in human plasma, C-terminal TFPI-1 and -2 derived peptides mediate bacterial killin
Of 30 bacterial species tested 18 stimulated DNA synthesis in human blood lymphocytes. The maximum response was after 3-4 days of culture suggesting a mitogenic effect. This was confirmed by the induction of polyclonal antibody production shown by a plaque assay. Most bacterial species increased the DNA synthesis in B-enriched lymphocytes and unseparated lymphocytes but had negligible activity on
It has previously been shown that sera from multiparous women have increased levels of anti-idiotypic antibodies specific for anti-HLA molecules. γ-Globulins prepared from these sera may be superior to commercial preparations of intravenous γ-globulin (IVIg) for inhibiting HLA alloimmunization. To test this, F(ab′)2 fragments prepared from either commercial IVIg or from the sera of men or multipar
