CORRELATION BETWEEN COLPOSCOPICAL AND HISTOPATOLOGICAL FINDINGS AT CARCINOMA PVU

Of 130 examined women who had not undergone a cytological and colposcopy check-up for at least a year, there were positive colposcopy: mosaic 39 (30,00 %), atipic vascularisation 15 (11,54 %) and suspect of invasive cervical cancer 1 (0,77 %). While the invasive carcinoma was ascertained most frequently at the ages of 40 to 59. The frequent incidence of severe displasia in subjects is 2,31 %, microinvasive cervical cancer 1,45 %, and the incidence of the invasive carcinoma is 3,85%.

EHOCARDIOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF LEFT VENTRICLE IN NON-Q ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

In this work we have examined echocardiographic characteristics of left ventricle in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We used prospective study, during 12 months, and we followed 55 patients with diagnosed non Q AMI. All patients were hospitalized in the Coronary unit. Results: 55 consecutive (40 males middle age 55,4±8,7 and 15 females middle age 57,4±10,3) had non Q AMI. Value of ejection fraction: after 4.day - 50,4±6,2% ,2.weeks - 54,6±5,8%, 4. weeks - 59,3±5,4%. Value of ejection fraction in patients with thrombolytic therapy: 61,6±6,8% vs. 57,3±6,6% p> 0,05;Value of left ventricle fractional shortening: 28,8±2,5% (in patients with thrombolytic therapy 30,3±4,8% vs.27,2±5,9%) Value of end2 2 2 - diastolic volume: after 4.day- 62,5±5,3 ml/m , 2.weeks - 63,1±5,4 ml/m , 4. weeks - 64,4±5,8 ml/m (in patients with throm 2 2 2 bolytic therapy 60,5±9,2 ml/m vs. 67,4±8,4 ml/m ) Value of endsistolic volume: after 4. day - 26,2±2,1 ml/m , 2.weeks2 2 26,8±2,3 ml/m , 4. weeks - 27,6±2,2 ml/m (in patients with thrombolytic therapy 25,6±2,8 ml/m2 vs. 31,7±3,1 ml/m2 p> 0,05). During the in-hospital follow up period, 2(3,6%) patients and during the post-hospital follow up period, 1 (1,9%) patients with non Q AMI had lethal outcome.

PROTECTION OF ORGANISM AGAINST REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES

Cells continuously produce free radicals and reactive oxygen species as part of metabolic processes. These free radicals are neutralized by antioxidant defense system consisting of enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and numerous non-enzymatic antioxidants, including vitamins A, E and C, glutathione, ubiquinone, and flavonoids. Antioxidants include both water and lipid soluble varieties. The lipid soluble antioxidants are located in the cellular membranes and lipoproteins, whereas the water soluble antioxidants are present in the aqueous environments, such as fluids inside cells and in the blood.

THE ENDOCRINE FUNCTION OF ADIPOSE TISSUE AND ITS CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

Adipose tissue secretes bioactive peptides, termed 'adipokines', which act locally and distally through autocrine, paracrine and endocrine signals. Those signals influences the answers of other tissues and organs including hypothalamus, pancreas, liver, sceletal muscles, endotel an immune system. Increased production of most adipokines impacts on multiple functions such as appetite and energy balance, immunity, insulin sensitivity, angiogenesis, blood pressure, lipid metabolism and haemostasis, all of which are linked with cardiovascular disease. Leptin is a critical mediatorof energy balance that relays information regarding the depletion or accumulation of fat stores to the brain. Althoughmany of leptin's effects result rb from a direct action ofleptin on hypothalamic neurons, the functional leptin receptor(long-form or lep ) is also found on many tissues outside the central nervous system (CNS), including immune cells. Obese individuals seem to be resistantto the hypothalamic effects of leptin (maybe because of defective blood-brain barrier transport), the catabolic pathways designed to reduce appetite and increase energy expenditure are not activated and excess body weight is maintained). Adipokines like adiponectin and leptin, at least in physiological concentrations, are insulin sparing as they stimulate beta oxidation of fatty acids in skeletal muscle. The role of resistin is less understood. It is implicated in insulin resistance in rats, but probably not in humans. Adiponectin and resistin are adipocyte-derived polypeptide hormones playing a role in metabolic homeostasis. Their plasma levels are inversely (adiponectin) or directly (resistin) correlated to obesity (and in a patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus) and they have opposite effects on insulin sensitivity. Adipocytes secretes also adipsin, factor B and factor C. In-depth understanding of the pathophysiology and molecular actions of adipokines may, in the coming years, lead to effective therapeutic strategies

CHARACTERISTIC OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION IN DIABETIC PATIENTS

The aim of our work was to inquire characteristics of myocardial infarction in diabetic patients.We questioned
prospectively 441 patients, diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction. Diabetes mellitus (DM) was found in 31,3%
patients. Atrial fibrillation was found in 16,7% patients with DM and 7,3% on patients without DM(p<0,05).Ventricular
arrhythmias gr.III was found in 18,8% patients with DM and 15,8% on patients without DM (p>0,05), gr. IV 24,6% vs.
12,9% (p<0,05) and gr.V 18,1% vs.9,9% (p<0,05). Heart failure (NYHA I) was found in 10,9% patients with DM and
10,6% on patients without DM (p>0,05), heart failure NYHA II 13,8 vs.10,6% (p>0,05), heart failure NYHA III 14,5% vs.
5,6% (p<0,05) and heart failure NYHAIV 10,1 vs. 3,3% (p<0,05).Cardiogenic shock was found in 21,7% patients with DM
and 10,2% on patients without DM (p<0,05). QRS scor was found 8,3+-2,9 in patients with DM and 4,5+-1,5 on patients
without DM (p<0,05). In-hospital mortality was found 20,3% in patients with DM and 8,2% on patients without DM
(p<0,05). Post-hospital mortality was found 10,2% in patients wuth DM and 5,1% on patients without DM (p>0,05).
Myocardial infarction in patients with DM have difficulty clinical flow and higher mortality

SURGICAL INTERVENTION IN PREGNANCY - Anaesthesiological management

The urgent surgical intervention need great atention in pregnant patients because of vital indication all surgical procedure interffer with pregnancy togheter with general anaesthesia and could cause complication of pregnancy and some times a damage of the foetus. Our study include all surgical procedure as the acute abdomen, trauma and politrauma in pregnant patient. Our aime was to give general anaesthesia which should be safe for mother and foetus.Post-operaative therapy and treatment of patients was done by theam of anaesthesia and gynecologists. The anaesthesia monitoring and surgical procedure have been improved up to the presset day but there are steel present great ricks in a treatment of this type of patients.The criteri in surgical and conservative treatment of pregnant patients was determined in colsultacion anaestetist-gynecologists.

QUANTIFIED APPROACH TO FYBROMYALGIA

Fibromyalgia presents a great clinical problem. Existence of no objective criteria for diagnosis is the key problem of this disease in the clinical rheumatology. The task of this work was to present the most practical quantification of fibromyalgia in every-day practice. Out of 37 patients there were 29 (78,3%) women, and 8 (21,6%) men. Out of this number there were 3 (8,1%) with primary fibromyalgia, 8 (21,6%) with secondary fibromyalgia, 25 (67,5%) were concomitant, whereas there was only one atypical case, i.e. (2,7%).

"GOLD" GUIDELINES FOR THE TREATMENT OF AN ACUTE EXACERBATION OF CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (COPD)

The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) has emerged due to joint efforts and support of the American National Heart, Lung & Blood Institute and the World health Organisation, with the objective of enlightening the major issues regarding COPD, and reducing the morbidity and mortality rates of this disease. An exacerbation of respiratory symptoms requiring hospital treatment is a common clinical manifestation of COPD. The exacerbation is usually induced by an infection of the tracheobronchial tree or air pollution, but in about one third of severe exacerbations the cause remains obscure. Acute COPD exacerbations are effectively treated by the application of inhalatory bronchodilators (particularly β-agonists and/or anticholinergics), teophylline and systemic, especially oral glucocorticoids. The patients with COPD exacerbation presented with the clinical symptoms of a respiratory infection (e.g. increased volume and altered colour of the sputum and/or fever) may benefit from antibiotic treatment. Non-invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) in acute exacerbations may improve blood gases and pH levels, reduce intrahospital mortality and the need for applying invasive mechanical ventilation and intubation, shortening thus the hospital treatment duration

HISTOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF SMALL INTENSTINE

The surface area of the small intestine is enhanced by three morphologic features that are peculiar to the gut: plicae circulares, the villi and the microvilli. The plicae circulares (circular folds) consist of mucosal/submucosal invaginations that are predominantly located in the duodenum and jejunum. These infoldings are visible on gross inspection. The intestinal villi, finger-like projections that protrude into the intestinal lumen, are approximately 0,5-1,5 mm long and cover the mucosal surface. They can be viewed by close inspection of the mucosa under low-power microscopy. Their microscopic appearance varies: duodenal villi are characteristically broad and leaf-shaped, jejunal villi are tall and thin, and ileal villi are short and broad. The length and shape of the villi also vary with geographic region. At the base of the villi, the epithelium enters the lamina propria and forms the crypts of Lieberkühn, which extend almost to the muscularis mucosae. The microvilli are sub-light microscopic tubular projections that are extensions of the apical cell membrane and compose the brush border. There are the enzymes and receptors in these structures which are required for terminal digestion and absorption

Case Reports

CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE - CASE REPPORT

Most frequent congenital malformations in human are congenital heart disease (30%). In this article we represented basic of their etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic and new therapeutics possibilities. Also we represented three cases of congenital heart disease. These cases we considered as very interesting. First of all, in this article we try to emphasize some aspects of this problem, which is not well known, especially in our environment. This very rare congenital heart disease shows how much diagnostic procedure can be difficult and treatment hard or impossible besides big improvement, which has be done last decades. We must learn much more about congenital heart disease!
