Quantification and Qualitative Effects of Different PEGylations on Poly(butyl cyanoacrylate) Nanoparticles
(Journal article, 2017)Protein adsorption on nanoparticles (NPs) used in nanomedicine leads to opsonization and activation of the complement system in blood, which substantially reduces the blood circulation time of NPs. The most commonly used ... -
Quantification of doxorubicin in mouse serum and tumor tissue by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry: An application in an in vivo study with murine prostate cancer xenograft tumor and ultrasound-sensitive liposomal doxorubicin
(Master thesis, 2013)Non-specificity and systemic toxicity are major challenges with cancer chemotherapy. This situation is further complicated by abnormality of tumor microenvironment that presents potential barriers to drug delivery. These ... -
Quantification of guanine-derived urinary biomarkers of oxidative stress in saturation divers by LC-MS/MS
(Master thesis, 2022)Metningsdykkere jobber under konstant trykksatte omgivelser med forhøyet deltrykk av oksygen for opp til flere uker. Dette kan føre til oksidativt stress, hvilket er assosiert med en rekke sykdommer, både akutte og kroniske. ... -
Quantification of Porcine Complement Activation Fragment C3a by a Neoepitope-Based Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) enables fast and simple quantification of analytes in the pico- to nanogram range in complex samples. Here, we describe an ELISA for the detection of porcine C3a as a marker for ... -
Quantifying the impact of genes on body mass index during the obesity epidemic: Longitudinal findings from the HUNT Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Objectives: To study the trajectories of body mass index (BMI) in Norway over five decades and to assess the differential influence of the obesogenic environment on BMI according to genetic predisposition. Design: ... -
Quantifying tumour vascularity in non-luminal breast cancers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Aims Microvessel density (MVD), proliferating MVD (pMVD) and vascular proliferation index (VPI) are methods used to quantify tumour vascularity in histopathological sections. In this study, we assessed MVD, pMVD and VPI ... -
Quantitative analysis of binding and internalization of αvβ3 integrin-targeted nanoemulsions by human endothelial cells: In vitro
(Master thesis, 2016)The purpose of this master thesis was to quantitatively study the binding and internalization of αvβ3 integrin-targeted RGD-conjugated nanoemulsions (RGD-NE) by human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in vitro. The ... -
Quantitative texture analysis in the prediction of IDH status in low-grade gliomas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Objectives Molecular markers provide valuable information about treatment response and prognosis in patients with low-grade gliomas (LGG). In order to make this important information available prior to surgery the aim of ... -
R2* Relaxation Affects Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI in Cancer and Underestimates Treatment Response at 7 T
(Journal article, 2019)Effective transverse relaxivity of gadolinium-based contrast agents is often neglected in dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). Here, we assess time and tissue dependence of R2* enhancement and ... -
