EFFECTOFGLUCAGON ON HEMODYNAMIC VARIABLES, CATECHOLAMINE LEVELAND ELECTROLYTE LEVELIN THE CANINE SERA

Glucagon is polypeptide hormone derived from pancreas which in addition to its metabolic actions has also certain cardiovascular stimulatory effects. We've explored the effects of glucagon on hemodynamic variables (mean arterial pressure, heart rate and central venous pressure) and on catecholamine level and the electrolite level in the kanine sera. It was estimated that glucagon expressed the positive chronotropic effect and significantly lowers the central venous pressure while inconsiderably inceases mean arterial blood pressure. It also leads to transient (short-lasting) hipokaliemia and nonsignificant hipocalcemia. As the result of the action of the glucagone, the serum adrenaline concentrations were significantly increased while the serum noradrenaline concentratios were significantly decreased

PLACE OF ZINK PREPARATION AS DIETETIC SUPPLEMENT IN NON-INSULIN-DEPENDENT DIABETES MELLITUS

Considering its importance in cell replication and differentiation, programmed cell death, DNA transcription, function of hormones, biological membranes and immunological system, zinc probably has a major role in enabling a proper
function of different tissues, organs and organic system in general. As an essential micronutrient wich is directly involved in metabolizm of insulin, zinc play important role in pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and its complications. On the other hand, low zinc absorption and hyperzincuria in diabetic animals and humans have indicated that diabetics are more susceptibile to zinc deficiency compared to healthy persons. Inasmuch as zinc plays an important role in syntesis, storage and secretion of insulin as well as conformational integrity of insulin in the hexameric form, zinc deficiency may adversely affect the ability of the islet Numerous studies suggested that urinary zinc excretion was higher in diabetes mellitus, probably as result of hyperglycemia. In contribution, there are findings about correlation between urinary zinc excretion and blood glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in non-insulin dependent diabetic patients. Recent experimental investigations showed that zinc supplementation inhibited NF-kB activation in the pancreas and decreased the expression of inducibile nitric oxide synthase, a downstream target gene of NF-kB. The ability of zinc to modulate NF-kB activation in the diabetogenic pathway may be the key mechanism for zinc's protective effect and important criterion for choosing nutritional strategies for diabetes mellitus prevention.

EARLY INTRAOPERATION COMPLICATIONS IN THE WOMEN WITH MULTIREPEATED CESAREAN SECTION

In period of ten years from o1.01.1990- till the 30.06.1999 on the University clinic of Gynecology and Obstetric in Pristina there were 2474 repeted cesarean section. With two S.C. were 2041, with three S.C. were 343, with the four S.C. 74 and with the five S.C. were 16 women. Intraoperation risck in repeated S.C. was defined with preasants of the erly intraoperation complicatios such as (hysterectomia caesarea, lesio vesicae urinariae and laesio intestini). We separate the early intraoperations in the women with the second and third S.C., and early intraoperation complications in the women with the fourth and fifth S.C. Results of the study showes that there were no statistical important differences.

BACTERIAL BACTERIAL SKIN INFECTIONS INFECTIONS WITH DIABETES DIABETES PATIENTS

A chronic hyperglicemia with diabetes leads to damage, disfunction and physiology disorders in various organs and tissues so the skin changes are occuring frequently. They are serious and are early discovered. The importance of knowing the bacterial skin infection with diabetes patient is in the fact that sometimes they can be markers and be preceded of the manifestation of the diabetes during the years i.e. in the prevention of the complications even though the glucose tolerance is limited. Then, any increase of the glucose level should be considered patological. Acute and chronic bacterial skin infections can change the regulation of diabetes which may lead to worse metabolic regulation with diabetes patients. The bacterial skin infections belong to the infection group that according to the clinical experience more frequently appear
in diabetes. But a close connection with diabetes is not proved. This study aims to point out the bacterial skin infections with diabetes patients. The results of our study indicates that bacterial skin infections are more frequently represented with diabetes patients (11.0%) than with the persons without Diabetes mellitus (4.8%).

DYNAMIC OF LEFT VENTRICULAR VOLUME AFTER ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION UNDER THERAPY WITH ACE INHIBITORS

Change in left ventricular volumes, particularly end-systolic volume index is a major representative of left ventri cular dilatation, and is a predictor of mortality after acute myocardial infarction of anterior localization. Several large-scale trials have demonstrated beneficial effectiveness of ACE inhibitors on the process of left ventricular remodeling after myo cardial infarction, not only in patients with compromised systolic function. Aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of therapy for ACE inhibitors in the early faze of anterior myocardial infarction, trough dynamics of left ventricular volume in dexes. During six months 30 patients were evaluated with echocardiography in admission, before leaving the hospital, after
three and six months after myocardial infarction. In evaluated group there was increased end-diastolic and end-systolic vo lume index, but without statistically significant value. There were no new cardiac decompensations. We concluded that ACE inhibitors given in the early stage of acute myocardial infarction anterior localization have beneficial effect on the process of left ventricular remodeling and that is recommended to bee given to this patients, after excluded contraindications

SURGICAL TREATMENT OF THE GALL BLADDER DISEASE AND THE BILIARY WAYS

Biliary calculosis is the most frequent disease of the hepathrombial system. Inflammation of the gall bladder appears in the acute and chronicle form. Acute inflammation presents one of the frequent complications of the gall bladder
calculosis. Acute inflammation of the gall bladder can appear in catarrhal, phlegmonous, gangrenous perforative form. Perforation of the inflamed changed gall bladder can lead to the diffuse biliary peritonitis, pericholecystitis and formation of
pericholecystitis infiltrate or abcess. Very often the acute inflammation of the gall bladder appears in combination with Acute inflammation of the pancreas. For the production of the work the biyearly material of the Emergency Surgical Centre
“Simonida” in Gračanica is used. In the ESC Simonida, in the period from January to December of 2004, 375 patients were operated. In the same period of time we operated 52 (13.86%) patients because of the gall bladder disease and biliary ways.
There were 45 female patients and 7 male ones. Gall bladder disease is 6.5 times more frequent at females in our material. Hard security situation and limited freedom of movement are one of the most important reasons of patients' late report to the
doctor, and appearance of the heavy forms of the inflammation of the gall bladder and biliary ways. The acute form of the inflammation of the gall bladder was noticed at 25 patients. The complications of the disease in the sense of cholecystopancreatitis, choledolithiasis, suppurating cholangiitis, choledolithiasis i cholecystoduodenal fistule were found at 27 patients. Postoperative complications were verified at 3 patients, wound infection at 2 patients and peritonitis at one
patient after drawing ouf the T-drain.

EVALUATION OF USAGE MEDICAMENTS FOR TREATMENT OF GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT AND METABOLISM AND TREATMENT OF MUSCULAR AND SCELETAL SYSTEM DISEASES ON THE BASIS OF DEFINED DAILY DOSE

Defined daily dose (DDD) is arbitrary chosen technical unit for measuring medicament usage and it is not a recommended therapeutic dose. It is in fact a statistical parameter for monitoring medicaments usage, and it is related to the
dose which is usually prescribed for the indication that the medicament was registered for. The aim of this work is to perform a detailed analysis of the extent and structure of the region of South Backa. According to the obteined data, medicaments
used in treatment of gastroinestinal tract contributed with 15.52 DDD/1000 inhabitants per day. Most commonly used are antacids and anti-ulcer drugs (8.14 DDD/1000 inhabitants per day). Medicaments used in treatment of muscular and skeletal
system contributed with 14.30 DDD/1000 inhabitants per day. Antiinflammatory and antirheumatic drugs sre used in amounts of 14.18 DDD/1000 inhabitants per day. In our country there is no complex survey of drug usage because there is no way of monitor ing which could apprehend all possible information sources. Defined daily dose is not introduced into practical qualitative and quantitative monitoring. It is necessary to make systematic network of information sources to provide for insight into medicament usage

CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETER FOR HEMODIALYSIS - CURRENT PROBLEMS

The retrospective study included all patients treated at Clinical Centre in Kragujevac, who needed an acute HD treatment due to vital endangerment, during 2003. The objective of this study was to demonstrate our experiences in treating these patients using central venous catheter. The results of this study show that femoral catheters are dominant (over 95%), with slight using of jugular and subclavial catheters (5%), in spite of the recommendation of the American Association for Renal Diseases to use femoral catheters only for patients supposed to be in hospital during the interval of 5 days. The
frequency of infections in our study (16,6%), coincides with the data of the American Association for Nosocomial Infections (NNIS)[1] (17,8% catheter infections). Gram-positive bacterium from Staphylococci group are the most frequent cause of catheter infections also in our patients
