Background: Gastrectomy, specifically the removal of the acid-producing part of the stomach (fundectomy), is known to cause osteopenia. This effect has been ascribed to the elimination of a hypothetical osteotropic peptide hormone, presumably produced in the oxyntic mucosa. Since osteopenia is due to a disturbed balance between bone formation and resorption, we assessed the effect of gastrectomy o
Cell surface proteins of the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, reference strain CCUG 17874, were extracted with acid glycine and fractionated by heparin affinity chromatography. The extracts were subsequently analysed using high-resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and immunoblotting. Four proteins of low molecular masses (25-30 kDa) stained by Coomassie R-350, were iden
The effect of bioaugmentation with an anaerobic lipolytic bacterial strain on the anaerobic digestion of restaurant lipid-rich waste was studied in batch experiments with a model waste containing 10% lipids (triolein) under two sets of experimental conditions: (A) methanogenic conditions, and (B) initially acidogenic conditions in the presence of only the lipolytic strain biomass (4 days), followe
Control of orthograde posture and use of adaptive adjustments constitutes essential topics of human movement control, both in maintenance of static posture and in ensuring body stability during locomotion. The objective was to investigate, in twelve normal subjects, how head, shoulder, hip and knee movements and torques induced towards the support surface were affected by vibratory proprioceptive
Growth, age at menarche and spontaneous GH secretion were studied in girls after treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). These girls had normal prepubertal growth but subnormal pubertal growth. Mean final height was 1 SD less than expected before puberty. The average age at menarche was significantly lower than the normal mean for Swedish girls. The mean 24-hour GH secretion was severely
Solution phase synthesis of a constrained Leu(5)-enkephalin amide analogue 10 is reported, in which the cyclic ferrocenyl containing subunit 7 was introduced as a mimetic of the tetrapeptide Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe unit. Temperature dependence of the chemical shift of the amide protons of 10 indicated a hydrogen bond between the same amino acid residues as observed for the natural Leu-enkepalin in the sin
Objective. To validate self-reported smoking habits in smoking pregnant women and estimate the prevalence of substantial exposure to passive smoking in non-smoking pregnant women. Design. Retrospective, quantitative study, consecutively collected samples. Setting. One antenatal clinic in Blekinge County, Sweden. Subjects. 509 pregnant women. Method. Information about smoking habits were taken from
Popular Abstract in Swedish I blodet finns röda och vita blodkroppar eller blodceller, som är nödvändiga för vår överlevnad. Blodcellerna utvecklas i benmärgen från gemensamma ursprungsceller, så kallade stamceller och en konstant nyproduktion pågår genom hela livet. Under produktionen av mogna celler tillväxer och delar sig cellerna och får allt mer specialiserade egenskaper. Denna specialiseringAll hematopoietic cells are derived from the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in a continuous and dynamic process, regulated by a network of transcription factors in different combinations and extrinsic signals from growth factors (GFs) and other factors in the microenvironment. In the initial stages of hematopoiesis HSCs differentiate to progenitor cells with gradually more restricted lineage pote
A 10-bit 5-MS/s successive approximation ADC cell and a 70-MS/s parallel ADC array based on this cell, designed and fabricated in a 1.2-?m CMOS process, are presented. The ADC cell was designed to have an input bandwidth of more than 35 MHz and a sampling time of 14 nS at a clock rate of 70 MHz. The parallel ADC array consists of 14 such cells which are timed in one clock cycle skew successively i
REX-ISOLDE is an experiment at ISOLDE/CERN with the aim to study the nuclear structure of neutron-rich nuclei using radioactive ion beams up to 2.2 MeV/u. The highly-efficient gamma-ray detector set-up MINIBALL will be used to explore reactions induced by Coulomb excitation or neutron transfer.
