Stanje parodoncijuma evaluirano parodontalnim indeksima kod nosioca fiksnih zubnih proteza

Najbitniji uslovi za jednu zubnu nadoknadu, sa biološkog i funkcionalnog aspekta, je njeno uklapanje u dinamiku tkiva sa kojima je u neposrednom kontaktu. Kada se govori o fiksnoj zubnoj protezi moraju se ispoštovati svi principi jednog mikrohirurškog rada. Brušenjem zuba stvara se patrljak određene veličine i oblika. Gleđna supstanca se uklanja i stvara se prostrana dentinska rana koja mora u daljem postupku da se zaštiti i da se spreči prodor inzulta prema pulpi. Pored toga mora se obratiti posebna pažnja na granično područje prema parodoncijumu s ciljem da se sačuva integritet parodocijuma i spreči nastajanje konsekutivnih oboljenja.

Sociodemografske karakteristike osoba lečenih sa dijagnozom mešoviti anksiozno-depresivni poremećaj na teritoriji Novog Pazara

Mešoviti anskiozno-depresivni poremećaji su najčešći psihijatrijski poremećaji u ambulantnoj praksi i, prema novijim podacima, obuhvataju 50% psihijatrijskih dijagnoza u primarnoj zdravstvenoj zaštiti. Ova dijagnoza se postavlja kod takvih neurotičnih poremećaja u kojima istovremeno postoje simptomi anksioznosti i depresije, a ni jedni ni drugi ne dominiraju. Cilj ovog istraživanja je da se prikažu sociodemografske karakteristike mešovitog anksiozno-depresivnog poremećaja u Novom Pazaru tokom 2012. godine. Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno 489 pacijenata sa dijagnozom mešoviti anksiozno-depresivni poremećaj, od ukupno ambulantno 9746 pacijenata lečenih u opštoj bolnici Novi Pazar tokom 2012. godine. Statistički su obrađeni podaci, a varijable su bile pol (muški i ženski), godine starosti (po dobnim grupama) i radni status (zaposlen, nezaposlen i penzioner). Za testiranje razlike između ispitanika za kategoričke varijable korišćen je x2. Rezultati ovog istraživanja pokazuju da je incidenca mešovitog anksiozno-depresivnog poremećaja veća kod žena, i to u razmeri 2:1. Najveći broj pacijenata pripada dobnoj grupi 51-60 godina. Veći procenat obolelih je nezaposlen (39,3%), u poređenju sa zaposlenima (22,3%), a nezaposleni muškarci obolevaju oko pet puta češće od zaposlenih. Podaci dobijeni na prostoru Novog Pazara ne odstupaju od podataka dobijenih u studijama širom sveta. Rast incidence ovog poremećaja u svetu, pa i kod nas, posledica je više razloga: svetska ekonomska kriza, prirodne katastrofe, ratovi, itd. Istraživanjem je utvrđeno da je mešoviti anksiozno-depresivni poremećaj najzastupljeniji u šestoj deceniji života, i to češće kod nezaposlenih, a dva puta češće kod žena.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MEASUREMENT OF MYELOPEROXIDASE ACTIVITY IN ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME

In the last ten years significant progress has been made in understanding of role of neutrophil granulocytes and their enzyme myeloperoxidase in the evolution and complications of atherosclerosis. Myeloperoxidase plays the role in the development of vulnerable plaque associated with the development of acute coronary syndrome. There is much evidence that suggests the role of myeloperoxidase in the development of vulnerable plaque. We investigate the value of myeloperoxidase as marker of the presence of vulnerable plaques in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Myeloperoxidase activity was significantly high in serum of the patients with the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome as reflection of the presence of vulnerable plaques. Increase in myeloperoxidase activity in serum of patients with the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome precedes to myocardial damage.

EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT DOSES OF ZINC PREPARATION ON GLYCEMIA AND ANTIOXIDANT PARAMETERS IN EXPERIMENTALLY INDUCED DIABETIC RABBITS

Researches with micronutrients are getting more and more important in science and also in practice. In this view zinc, chromium, copper and selenium are having a special role in preventing micro- and macrovascular diabetic complications, as integral components of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase) and also as cofactor of enzymes and hormones involved in the metabolism of glucose and lipid. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects different doses of zinc on glycemia and parameters of antioxidative defense: superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant status (TAS), and correlation glycoregulation with antioxidant system of the alloxan-induced diabetic rabbits. The study was conducted on fourteen New Zealand rabbits of both sexes, weighing 2 to 3.5 kg. Experimental diabetes was induced in rabbits by intravenous injection of alloxan (80 mg /kg BW). Three weeks after induced experimental diabetes, rabbits were treated orally appropriate doses of chelated zinc: I dose - 15 mg, after a washout period (10 t ), II dose - 25 mg, af- 1/2 ter a washout period, III dose - 50 mg. Blood samples were taken at specific time intervals: before alloxan induced diabetes, after alloxan induced diabetes, after application the first dose of 15 mg of zinc, after application of a second dose of 25 mg of zinc, after application of third dose of 50 mg of zinc. The zinc preparation did not cause a statistically significant reduction in serum glucose level when administered in single doses 15, 25 and 50 mg in experimentally induced diabetic rabbits. However, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was significantly increased after single dose preparations of zinc at a dose 15 mg (p<0,05), 25 mg (p<0,001) and 50 mg (p<0,001) in relation to the activity recorded before the application of zinc. Also, after the application first, second, and than third dose of zinc in diabetic rabbits was recorded statistically significant increase of TAS in relation to the value recorded before the application of zinc (p<0,001). Glucose concentrations negatively correlated with superoxide dismutase activity. This indicates that oral application of zinc preparation can reduce the harmful effects of oxidative stress in diabetes.

DOES DOXORUBICIN CONTAINING CHEMOTHERAPY CHANGE METABOLIC LIVER FUNCTION DURING TREATMENT OF CHILDHOOD ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA?

Doxorubicin is antitumor antibiotic extensively metabolized in the liver, and liver antioxidant capacity, including that provided by glutathione production. The aim of this study was to investigate whether doxorubicin containing chemotherapy changes metabolic liver function during treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Total protein concentration in serum, concentration of total, conjugated and non conjugated bilirubin, activity of aspartat aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma glutamyl transferase (ãGT), lactate dehydrogenase and creatin kinase activity were measured before and after treatment with doxorubicin containing chemotherapy and in the control group. Caffeine was applied as metabolic marker via controlled consummation of Coca-Cola and 8-hour urine was collected immediately afterwards. In the collected samples, urinary thioethers and caffeine metabolites concentrations were measured. Chemotherapeutic regiment established for initial treatment of childhood ALL containing prednisone, vincristine, doxorubicin and L-asparaginase did not alter metabolic liver function. This regiment did not change liver enzyme activity. Applied chemotherapy also did not alter caffeine biotransformation, but it did increase urinary thioethers excretion.

THE PROSPECT OF UTILIZING SPREADSHEET SOFTWARE IN PHARMACOKINETICS

This article aims to promulgate the use of Microsoft Excel, one of the predominant spreadsheet applications, in the calculation of approximate functions by the method of spline polynomial interpolation. Cubic spline functions have demonstrated a remarkable suitability for the analysis of pharmacokinetic data of drugs with non-linear kinetic behavior or an unknown kinetic model, as well as general kinetic analysis, regardless of pharmacokinetic and compartmental models. It should be noted that cubic spline polynomials can be employed in determining a highly significant pharmacokinetic parameter - the area under curve (AUC), especially when the area measurement is not the principal intention, and the data is to be used for further research. Spreadsheet software is exceptionally pertinent to this kind of computation, as it delivers high precision and virtually instantaneous availability of the results. Moreover, this type of software possesses conspicuous flexibility, characterized by a real-time graphical representation and the capability to sustain user-created functions through a macro-language (VBA - Visual Basic for Applications) implemented in the program itself.

OCULAR MANIFESTATIONS IN PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic multisistemic disease of an unknown cause characterised by persistens inflammatory synovitis which results in destruction cartilage and bone erosions. RA is a systemic disease with various out of joint manifestations of different clinical importance, among which rheumatoid knots, rheumatoid vasculitis, pleuropulmonal and ophthalmological manifestations are the most prominent ones. The most frequent changes of the eye in patients with RA are keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), episcleritis and scleritis and ulcerous keratitis. Out of 70 examined patients, 52 (74.3%) are female, and 18 (25.7%) of male sex (ratio 4:1), average age 56.47. In 18 (25.71%) RA diseased patients eye changes found are as folows: secondary Sjögren syndrom, that is keratoconjunctvitis sicca in 18.57%, only in female patients, episcleritis nodosa and scleritis in 4.29%; 2.86% in male and 1.43% female patients and ulcerous keratitis in 2.86% RA diseased patients.

SINOVITIS IN THE ARTHROSIS

Arthrosis (A) are the degenerative-dystrophic disease of the peripheral ankles. Etiology is unknown. The genetic factor and external factors, mostly of a mechanical nature are the crucial ones, however, in the literature more emphasis is put on the infection factor and participation of immunity in the etiology of the patogenesis A. We have treated 42 patients sicked of the gonarthrosis. A majority of them is not , as expected, is in their old age, but between 40-50 old. Out of total number, 12 % has had symptoms of early sinovitis while 17% has had symptoms of reactive synovitis. Early sinovitis is characterized in lymphocytes and plasmocytes, rare neutrophils with no fibrile layers. Reactive (later) sinovitis is characterized by rare neutrophils, crystals of appatite and abundant detritus. It is most probably that an early synovitis has an immunological and later one reactive character.

CLINICAL USE OF CLOPIDOGREL IN ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME

Acute instable atherosclerotic plate in the basis of the pathophysiology of the acute coronary syndrome and it is divided on two big groups: a) acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation (NONSTEMI) and b) myocardial infarction with ST elevation (STEMI). Clopidogrel belongs to the group of antiaggregation drugs which inhibit ADP receptors and on that way prevent platelets aggregation. The clinical confirmation of the clopidogrel efficiency is confirmed trough 4 big clinical studies: CAPRIE, CURE, COMMIT/CCS 2 and CLARITY-TIMI 28 studies. In CAPRIE study, clopidogrel showed moderate but significant advantage comparing to aspirin in prevention of the secondary ischemic cerebrovascular stroke and myocardial infarction. The results of CURE study showed that doubled combined therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin brought the reduction of the relative risk of cardiovacular events with patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation. The results of this study showed that the group of patients which received clopidogrel beside aspirin and thrombolytic therapy it came to the reduction of the occluded arteries. In COMMIT were also involved the patients with the acute myocardial infarction with ST elevation. Total number of lethal cases of the repeated myocardial infarctions or acute brain stroke was smaller in a group which was receiving clopidogrel beside thrombolytic therapy and aspirine in comparison with the placebo group. The results of CLARITY and COMMIT studies gave us recommendation that patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST elevation which have thrombolytic therapy or percutaneous coronary intervention should receive clopidogrel as well.
