- The aim of this multicenter randomized controlled trial was to compare physiotherapist-led exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (PT-X) with physical activity on prescription (PAP) with regard to physical fitness, physical activity, health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), and metabolic risk markers in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation. Ninety six patients (28 women), age 74 (5) years, and ejection fraction >= 45% were randomized. An exercise tolerance test (primary outcome measure), muscle endurance tests, HR-QoL, physical activity assessments (questionnaire and accelerometer), and blood sampling were performed. The PT-X consisted of 60-minute group sessions and home-based exercise, both twice a week. The PAP consisted of 40 minutes of active walking, 4 times a week. Eighty seven patients completed the study. Exercise tolerance (maximum exercise capacity) improved significantly after PT-X (n = 40) but not after PAP (n = 47) (16 vs -3 W; P < .0001). Muscle endurance also improved after PT-X: shoulder flexion left arm (7 vs -1 repetition; P < .001), heel-lift right leg (4 vs 1 repetition; P < .05), left leg (4 vs -1 repetition; P < .001), and shoulder abduction (17 vs -4 s; P < .010). PAP significantly increased energy expenditure. Health-related quality of life and lab-tests did not differ. PT-X improved physical fitness in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation.

Magnetron-based source of neutral metal vapors for photoelectron spectroscopy
- 2006
-
In: Review of Scientific Instruments. - : AIP Publishing. - 1089-7623 .- 0034-6748. ; 77:3
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The construction of a magnetron-based source for neutral metal vapors is presented. The first photoelectron spectroscopy experiments with the source using synchrotron radiation at MAX-lab, Sweden are described. Photoelectron spectra of atomic copper, silver, and nickel are reported with an 80 meV resolution for Cu and Ag, previously not achieved in experiments using synchrotron light.

Distribution and tissue expression of semenogelin I and II in man as demonstrated by in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry
- 1996
-
In: Journal of Andrology. - 0196-3635. ; 17, s. 17-26
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Semenogelin I and II (Sgl, Sgll) are two separate gene products of chromosome 20 with extensive (80%) identity in primary structure. They are mainly responsible for immediate gel formation of freshly ejaculated semen. Degradation of Sgl and Sgll is due to the proteolytic action of prostate-specific antigen (PSA); it results within 5-15 minutes in liquefaction of semen and release of progressively motile spermatozoa. By means of cDNA cloning and Northern blots, Sgl and Sgll transcripts have previously been shown to be abundant in human seminal vesicles, but Sgll alone is suggested to be expressed at low levels in the epididymis. To characterize the expression and tissue distribution of Sgl and Sgll in greater detail, we produced monoclonal immunoglobulin Gs (lgGs for immunocytochemistry (lCC) and specific [35S]-, digoxigenin-, or alkaline phosphatase-labeled 30-mer antisense probes to Sgl and Sgll for in situ hybridization (lSH). Immunocytochemical staining for both Sgl and Sgll, and lSH detection of both Sgl and Sgll transcripts, were demonstrated in the cytoplasm of seminal vesicle epithelium. lSH showed Sgll alone to be expressed in the epithelium of the epididymal cauda. Neither lCC nor lSH yielded any evidence of Sgl or Sgll expression in caput or corpus epithelium or in any stromal cells of the epididymis. Consistent with our previous findings using polyclonal lgG, monoclonal anti-Sgll Sgll lgGs identified epitopes on the posterior head, midpiece, and tail of ejaculated spermatozoa. Spermatozoa in the epididymal cauda were also immunoreactive, but those in the caput or corpus region of the epididymis as well as those in the testis were negative. As shown by lCC, neither Sgl nor Sgll were expressed in the testis, the prostate, the female genital tract, or other normal human tissue specimens. Although the significance of Sg attachment to epididymal and ejaculated spermatozoa remains to be established, monoclonal anti-Sg lgG might prove useful in establishing the origin of seminal vesicle tissue components in prostate core biopsies or other biopsy specimens.

Assignment of gene for coagulation factor V to chromosome 1 in man and to chromosome 13 in rat
- 1988
-
In: Somatic Cell and Molecular Genetics. - 0740-7750. ; 14:5, s. 14-509
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Two different factor V cDNA fragments were used as hydridization probes in the chromosomal assignment of the human and rat factor V genes. A 1.6-kb EcoRI fragment was used as a hybridization probe to analyze a panel of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids. Cosegregation of factor V specific DNA restriction fragments with human chromosome 1 was observed. In addition, a panel of rat-mouse somatic cell hybrids was analyzed with another human factor V cDNA probe to localize the gene for rat coagulation factor V. In the rat, the gene for coagulation factor V was found to be located in chromosome 13. This is the first gene in the rat to be localized to chromosome 13.
