Co-expression of 1α-hydroxylase and vitamin D receptor in human articular chondrocytes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-06)Background: <br> The aim was to investigate whether resident chondrocytes in human articular cartilage and in subculture express vitamin D receptor (VDR) and the enzyme that hydroxylates the prohormone 25(OH)D3 to the active hormone 1α,25(OH)2D3, namely 1α-hydroxylase (CYP27B1). Any putative effects of vitamin D on chondrocytes were also explored. <br> Methods: <br> Cartilage from human osteoarthritic ... -
Co-management of protected areas to alleviate conservation conflicts: Experiences in Norway.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-16)This paper addresses the perceptions of actors of protected areas in Norway about a co-management regime at the local level. The analysis is based on quantitative data from surveys of actors of eight protected areas in northern Norway. The surveys were undertaken just before a change to co-management in 2010. The results show that the two strongest determinants that explain actors’ initial ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-20)The present study impacts the growing knowledge about co-products obtained from the primary processing of Atlantic salmon (Salmo Salar L.) as food ingredients by highlighting their microbial and chemical composition and stability. The proximate composition varied between the co-products from the fatty belly-flap (34% lipid, 15% protein) to the leaner deboned meat (10% fat, 22% protein) (p < 0.001), ... -
The coagulase negative staphylococci; molecular studies on Staphylococcus haemolyticus and novel treatment of staphylococcal biofilms in vitro and in vivo
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2013-01-25)The coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) were earlier regarded as innocuous inhabitants of the human normal skin flora, but are now emerging as opportunistic pathogens. In addition to their biofilm producing ability CoNS are frequently multi-resistant, and a high prevalence of methicillin resistant CoNS is found. Staphylococcus haemolyticus is an emerging cause of nosocomial infections, primarily ... -
Coagulase-negative staphylococci in southern brazil: Looking toward its high diversity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05)Introduction: Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are the most prevalent pathogens in nosocomial infections and may serve as a reservoir of mobile genetic elements such as the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) encoding methicillin resistance. Molecular characterization of SCCmec types combined with advanced molecular typing techniques may provide essential information for ... -
Coating of neutral liposomes with hydrophobically modified hydroxyethyl cellulose. The influence of hydrophobic chain length on the liposomes' properties and stability.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-05-20)In this study, gel phase (DPPC) and liquid phase (soy PC) neutral liposomes were coated with hydrophobically modified hydroxyethyl cellulose (HM-HEC). The chain lengths of the hydrophobic moieties of HM-HEC were C8 and C16. The influence of the hydrophobic chain length of the polymer coating on the release of a fluorescence marker was studied at both 35 °C and 4 °C. I addition the size, zeta ... -
Cochrane Collaboration Systematic Reviews may be based on trials not approved by a research ethics committee
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-27)Systematic reviews (SR) may potentially contain reports of primary trials with ethical problems. The Cochrane Collaboration SRs are considered as the highest standard in evidence-based health care resources. All SRs completed during the last 5 years (2013–2017) under the management of the Oral Health Group of the Cochrane Collaboration were identified. All primary trials included in the Oral Health ... -
Coding variants in RPL3L and MYZAP increase risk of atrial fibrillation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-12)Most sequence variants identified hitherto in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of atrial fibrillation are common, non-coding variants associated with risk through unknown mechanisms. We performed a meta-analysis of GWAS of atrial fibrillation among 29,502 cases and 767,760 controls from Iceland and the UK Biobank with follow-up in samples from Norway and the US, focusing on low-frequency coding ... -
