3-NPA induziert Ischämietoleranz der Rattenleber nach warmer Ischämie
2005
Until now little is known about the potential of 3-nitroproprionic acid (3-NPA) to reduce ischemia/ reperfusion injury (IRI) of the rat liver in vivo.
Data set: Towards a rapid screening of liver grafts at the operating room using mid-infrared spectroscopy
2020
The estimation of steatosis in a liver graft is mandatory prior to liver transplantation, as the risk of graft failure increases with the level of infiltrated fat. However, the assessment of liver steatosis before transplantation is typically based on a qualitative or semi-quantitative characterization by visual inspection and palpation, and histological analysis. Thus, there is an unmet need for transplantation surgeons to have access to a diagnostic tool enabling an in situ fast classification of grafts prior extraction. In this study, we have assessed an Attenuated Total Reflection-Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopic method compatible with the requirements of an operation…

Passing the test of motherhood? Self‐esteem development and birth experience in the transition to motherhood : A longitudinal mixed methods study in …
2022
Aims To investigate women's childbirth experiences and their relation to self-esteem development in the postpartum year. Design A mixed methods study. Methods Women (N = 125) completed survey questionnaires regarding their self-esteem and childbirth experiences at three time points in 2020–2021: third trimester of pregnancy (T1), 4–8 weeks postpartum (T2) and 1 year postpartum (T3). The survey results were analysed using qualitative thematic and quantitative path analyses with latent change factors. The open-ended answers of the women who demonstrated a change in self-esteem between T2 and T3 were then compared. The STROBE checklist was used as the reporting guideline. Results The quantitat…
Ku teorii recytacji. Interdyscyplinarny charakter badań nad sztuką recytacji
2016
Artykuł zawiera przegląd stanowisk badawczych w odniesieniu do sztuki recytacji. Autorka wskazuje na recytację jako na zjawisko, którego rozumienie wymaga podejścia interdyscyplinarnego, uwzględniającego punkty widzenia wielu dyscyplin badawczych, jak chociażby językoznawstwa, literaturoznawstwa, teatrologii oraz estetyki. W perspektywie badawczej tych dwóch pierwszych dyscyplin recytacja ukazuje się jako sztuka wykonawcza, sztuka interpretacji zależna od literackiego tekstu. Perspektywa teatrologiczna z kolei ukazuje recytację w odniesieniu do teatru i sztuki aktorskiej. Jeżeli recytacja jest częścią mówienia scenicznego, to nie należy jej przeciwstawiać sztuce aktorskiej, lecz uznać, iż d…
Recombinant nanocapsid for targeted theranostic delivery
2017
Developments in diagnostic and therapeutic delivery are trending towards molecular level targeting with nano-platforms. Targeted delivery reduces generalized distribution by localizing diagnostic and/or therapeutic (theranostic) molecules to an intended target site. The first section of this thesis proposes Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) nanocapsids as a vector to stabilize and target theranostic delivery. Derived from the capsid protein of HEV, a feco-orally transmitted virus, HEV-like particles self-assemble in to non-infectious, nanocapsids that can withstand harsh protease and pH conditions in the mucosal system. The flexible nanocapsid surface protrusion domain is amenable to substantial modi…
On the Choice of the Extracellular Vesicles for Therapeutic Purposes
2019
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid membrane vesicles released by all human cells and are widely recognized to be involved in many cellular processes, both in physiological and pathological conditions. They are mediators of cell-cell communication, at both paracrine and systemic levels, and therefore they are active players in cell differentiation, tissue homeostasis, and organ remodeling. Due to their ability to serve as a cargo for proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, which often reflects the cellular source, they should be considered the future of the natural nanodelivery of bio-compounds. To date, natural nanovesicles, such as exosomes, have been shown to represent a source of diseas…
