Frequenza periferica delle cellule CD28null e tipizzazione degli aplotipi KIR e degli alleli HLA e in soggetti con ictus ischemico acuto

Introduction: Inflammation and T cell activation have been also described as involved in pathophysiology of some complication of atherosclerosis, nevertheless no study has yet evaluated the relationship between KIR aplotypes and HLA alleles and acute cerebrovascular disease. Material and methods : Between November 2013 and February 2016, all consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke were recruited. As healthy controls we enrolled consecutive subjects without acute ischemic stroke. KIR aplotype and HLA allele phenotyping has been performed. Results : Subjects with acute ischemic stroke in comparison to subjects without acute ischemic stroke showed a significantly a higher frequency of …

Poikatytöt, itkevät transut ja onnelliset virkanaiset : sukupuolivähemmistöjen representaatiot suomalaisissa sanomalehdissä

2015

Tämä tutkielma käsittelee sukupuolivähemmistöjen representaatiota kolmessa sanomalehdessä. Suomessa sukupuolivähemmistöjä (transihmiset ja transvestiitit) on tutkittu mediassa hyvin vähän, uutistekstissä tuskin ollenkaan. Tutkielma etsii vastausta paitsi siihen, millaisia representaatioita sukupuolivähemmistöistä käytetään, myös siihen, kenellä on oikeus sukupuolensa mukaiseen ja sukupuoltaan kunnioittavaan representaatioon. Tutkielman lähtökohtana on queer-tutkimus sisarteoria transgender studies, joka on kiinnostunut sukupuolten epätyypillisyydestä. Se painottaa sukupuolivähemmistöjen omien identiteettien, variaatioiden, säröjen ja puhetapojen kunnioittamista. Heteronormatiivisuuden ideol…

Cytoskeletal stabilization of inhibitory interactions in immunologic synapses of mature human dendritic cells with natural killer cells

2011

Abstract Human mature dendritic cells (DCs) can efficiently stimulate natural killer (NK)–cell responses without being targeted by their cytotoxicity. To understand this important regulatory crosstalk, we characterized the development of the immunologic synapse between mature DCs and resting NK cells. Conjugates between these 2 innate leukocyte populations formed rapidly, persisted for prolonged time periods and matured with DC-derived f-actin polymerization at the synapse. Polarization of IL-12 and IL-12R to the synapse coincided with f-actin polymerization, while other activating and inhibitory molecules were enriched at the interface between DCs and NK cells earlier. Functional assays re…

Grouping facilitates avoidance of parasites by fish

2013

Background. Parasite distribution is often highly heterogeneous, and intensity of infection depends, among other things, on how well hosts can avoid areas with a high concentration of parasites. We studied the role of fish behaviour in avoiding microhabitats with a high infection risk using Oncorhynchus mykiss and cercariae of Diplostomum pseudospathaceum as a model. Spatial distribution of parasites in experimental tanks was highly heterogeneous. We hypothesized that fish in groups are better at recognizing a parasitized area and avoiding it than solitary fish. Methods. Number of fish, either solitary or in groups of 5, was recorded in different compartments of a shuttle tank where fish co…

Information Technology–Supported value Co-Creation and Co-Destruction via social interaction and resource integration in service systems

2022

The paper develops a conceptual framework to study the constructs of information technology (IT)-supported value co-creation and co-destruction through shared processes of social interaction and resource integration as mediated by IT and embedded in interactive value formation practices. In particular, the elements of social interaction and resource integration are identified, and the role of IT is discussed. We conduct a systematic literature review and analyze the data using the service system perspective. Our research contributes by identifying the constructs of value-creating phenomena enabled by IT from the service system perspective and presenting a research agenda for further studies…
