To analyse the association between types of physical activity (occupational, recreational and household, vigorous and overall) and risk of primary oesophageal (OAC) or gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC). From nine European countries, 420,449 participants were recruited between 1991 and 2000 and followed-up for a mean of 8.8 years to register incident GAC and OAC. Information on physical activity (PA), d

Osteoporosis is common in the elderly, and it is associated with lifetime exposure to endogenous hormones and vitamin D intake, both of which are associated with cancer development. The association of osteoporosis with subsequent cancer has not been established, and hence we examined here the overall and site-specific cancer risks among Swedish individuals after hospitalization for osteoporosis. P

The prognostic impact of PICALM::MLLT10 status in childhood leukaemia is not well described. Ten International Berlin Frankfurt Münster-affiliated study groups and the Children's Oncology Group collaborated in this multicentre retrospective study. The presence of the PICALM::MLLT10 fusion gene was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization and/or RNA sequencing at participating sites. Ninety-

Carbohydrate quality might be more important than quantity to reduce type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk. Various metrics of carbohydrate quality exist; however, their associations with T2D have only been studied to a limited extent. Consequently, the aim was to investigate the association between four different pre-defined carbohydrate quality indices, with various amounts of fiber (≥1 g) and free sugar (

In E. coli cells ribosomal small subunit biogenesis is regulated by RNA-protein interactions involving protein S7. S7 initiates the subunit assembly interacting with 16S rRNA. During shift-down of rRNA synthesis level, free S7 inhibits self-translation by interacting with 96 nucleotides long specific region of streptomycin (str) mRNA between cistrons S12 and S7 (intercistron). Many bacteria do not

The transformation of aldose-based carbohydrates into 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) is very challenging as compared to ketose-based carbohydrates, but the formers are more abundant and cheaper. Here, a series of sulfated complex metal oxides were synthesized for the conversion of aldose-based mono-, di-, and poly-saccharides, as well as starchy food waste into EMF. The catalysts were carefully char

Objectives: To understand the comparability of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) determinations across assays and storage time. Methods: Serum PSA levels were determined for men aged 40 to 79 years from the clinical subset of the Olmsted County Study of Urinary Symptoms and Health Status Among Men on fresh samples and after a median of 32 months on banked samples, frozen at -70 °C. Baseline se

Uronate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.12; URI) catalyzes uronate sugar interconversion, a key step in bacterial metabolism, yet its reaction mechanism remains poorly understood. This study delineates the detailed mechanism for the isomerization of d-glucuronate to d-fructuronate catalyzed by a Zn2+-dependent URI enzyme (from Bacillus halodurans). Using quantum mechanical (QM) cluster calculations, three mec

Små klimatfickor – stor betydelse Bin, fjärilar och blomflugor är inte bara vackra att titta på – de gör också ett av naturens viktigaste jobb. Genom att flytta pollen mellan blommor ser de till att många växter kan föröka sig. Det gäller både vilda arter och en stor del av de grödor som vi människor äter. Utan dessa pollinatörer skulle vår biologiska mångfald minska kraftigt, och även vår livsmePollinators are essential for biodiversity and ecosystem services but face growing threats from climate change. Microclimates may buffer these impacts by providing localized climatic refugia. I assessed community-level and body size-dependent responses of bees, butterflies, and hoverflies to microclimatic temperature, humidity, wind, and structural shelter in semi-natural grasslands in southern Sw

A common problem when studying groundwater contamination in low-income countries is that data required for a detailed risk assessment are limited. This study presents a method for assessment of the potential impact of groundwater contamination by total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in a data-scarce region. Groundwater modeling, using the MODFLOW, was used to simulate regional-scale flow pattern. Th

Urokinase plasminogen activator (u-PA) plays a pivotal role in tissue degradation during tumor spread and metastasis. We have quantitated u-PA in tissue homogenates of 31 serous ovarian tumors and localized u-PA and its mRNA in tissue sections of 26 serous ovarian tumors. The content of u-PA was higher in malignant than in benign tumors, with the highest levels being found in poorly differentiated

Popular Abstract in Swedish Esofagektomi (kirurgiskt avlägsnande av matstrupen) är ett omfattande ingrepp som främst utförs pga cancer, men som även utförs vid vissa godartade sjukdomar. Matstrupen sträcker sig från svalget, via bakre delen av bröstkorgen ned till övre delen av buken. Det anatomiska läget gör att man ur kirurgisk synpunkt oftast måste avlägsna matstrupen via en kombination av inciIn a prospective randomised study following oesophagectomy and gastric tube reconstruction patients with hand-sutured neck anastomoses were compared with patients with circular stapled chest anastomoses. The two groups had equal rates of anastomotic or conduit leaks of 7.3 % (3/41) and 7.1 % (3/42) and of benign anastomotic strictures of 19.5 % (8/41) and 28.6 % (12/42). Another prospective random

Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) is the most common estimate of bone mass, incorporated in the World Health Organization definition of osteoporosis. However, aBMD depends on not only the amount of mineral but also the bone size. The estimated postmenopausal decline in aBMD could because of this be influenced by changes in bone size.We measured bone mineral content (BMC; mg), aBMD (mg/cm(2)), and
