...L. Nordling; T. Lundeberg; J. Brolin; H. Liedberg; P. Ekman; E. Theodorsson We have studied the contribution of the nervous system on experimentally induced urethral inflammation in the rat. Urethral inflammation was produced by inserting latex strips into the urethra. The effects of different...

... such as shape change, adherence, exocytosis and respiratory burst, events that are of importance in inflammation. To study the release of NAP-1/IL-8, two human models of inflammation were chosen: transurethral resection of superficial bladder cancer and the subsequent instillation of bacillus Calmette-Guérin...
