AB  - BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to examine demographic and baseline characteristics of patients with vascular injuries of extremities and to define the most relevant factors which influenced an early outcome, as well as limb salvage after the management of vascular trauma. METHODS: This study used the database that included 395 patients with peripheral arterial injuries, who were treated in the tertiary vascular university center in the period between 2005-2020. Exclusion criteria were isolated thoracic, abdominal and neck injuries as well as iatrogenic injuries and injuries of intravenous addicts. Univariate binary logistic regression analysis and multiple logistic regression were used to determine risk factors for lomb loss (after vascular reconstruction) or mortality. Decision to perform primary amputation (without vascular reconstruction) was based on surgeons' preference and experience. RESULTS: Out of 395 vascular injuries treated in the period 2005-2020, 210 (53.2%) presented with non-iatrogenic vascular injuries of upper and lower extremities were analyzed. According to the univariate regression analysis, hemorrhage as the main clinical manifestation on admission (P=0.035) and early reintervention (P=0.048) increased, while an early patency of repaired artery (0.010) significantly decreased a 30-day amputation rate. Multivariate logistic regression analysis of these three variables showed that only early patency of repaired artery significantly decreased the early amputation rate (P=0.009). CONCLUSIONS: Based on presented experience, the patency of vascular reconstruction plays a crucial role in limb salvage in patients with non-iatrogenic peripheral vascular injuries. All factors that might influence the patency should be in focus of improvement.

AB  - Introduction: Telomeres are protective chromosomal ends. Short telomeres are a proven biomarker of biological aging. We aimed to find an association of telomere length and telomerase activity in circulating leukocytes and thromboaspirates of patients with acute myocardial infarction. Furthermore, association of the telomere-telomerase system with oxidative stress markers (as common risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD)) was tested. Material and methods: Patients were selected from the patients admitted to the intensive care unit with acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI), with the following inclusion criteria – STEMI patients between 18 and 80 years old of both genders and candidates for primary percutaneous coronary intervention, with infarction pain present for a maximum of 12 h. In all the patients leukocyte telomere length, telomerase activity and scores related to oxidative-stress status (Protective, Damage and OXY) were evaluated. Results: Patients were divided into different groups: with stable angina pectoris (AP) (n = 22), acute myocardial infarction with: STEMI (n = 93), non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) (n = 7), blood vessel rupture (n = 6) at three time points, and compared to the group of 84 healthy subjects. Telomerase activity was significantly higher in all CAD sub-groups compared to the control group (AP = 0.373 (0.355–0.386), STEMI = 0.375 (0.349–0.395), MINOCA = 0.391 (0.366–0.401), blood vessel rupture = 0.360 (0.352–0.385) vs. CG = 0.069 (0.061–0.081), p < 0.001), while telomeres were significantly shorter in STEMI, MINOCA and blood vessel rupture groups compared to the control group (STEMI = 1.179 (0.931–1.376), MINOCA = 1.026 (0.951–1.070), blood vessel rupture = 1.089 (0.842–1.173) vs. CG = 1.329 (1.096–1.624), p = 0.030]. Values of OXY score were significantly higher in STEMI and MINOCA patients compared to the control group and AP patients (5.83 (4.55–7.54) and 10.28 (9.19–10.72) vs. 4.94 (3.29–6.18) and 4.18 (2.58–4.86), p < 0.001). Longer telomeres and higher telomerase activity were found in thromboaspirates, compared to the peripheral blood leukocytes in the same patients (1.25 (1.01–1.84) vs. 1.18 (0.909–1.516), p = 0.036; and 0.366 (0.367–0.379) vs. 0.366 (0.367–0.379), p < 0.001, respectively). In addition, telomere length and telomerase activity had good diagnostic ability to separate STEMI patients from healthy persons. Conclusions: Leukocyte telomere length and telomerase activity can differentiate CAD patients from healthy persons, and relate CAD to oxidative stress.

AB  - Background/Aim. Cataract surgery is one of the most often
performed surgical interventions. The predominant method in
Western countries is phacoemulsification, while in developing
countries, the extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) method
remains popular. The aim of the study was to evaluate the cost-
effectiveness of these two cataract surgery techniques from the
provider’s perspective if operation complications were the out-
come of the interest. Methods. The data were obtained from
the Department of Ophthalmology of the General Hospital
Kruševac during a one-year period. A total of 1,179 surgeries
by five surgeons were performed. The cost-effectiveness was
evaluated using the decision tree. All probabilities were calcu-
lated based on the likelihood of the occurrence during the
study period. Only direct costs were considered, and values
were taken from the documentation at the hospital and the of-
ficial price list of health services. One- and two-way sensitivity analyses were performed. Results. The total cost per patient in
the phacoemulsification group was 71,008.70 Serbian dinars
(RSD), while the total cost in the ECCE group was 74,340.36
RSD. At the same time, phacoemulsification shows higher ef-
fectiveness than the ECCE method, with 87% and 57% of pa-
tients without complications, respectively. With these results,
phacoemulsification was the dominant strategy compared to
ECCE. The sensitivity analysis revealed that the results are sen-
sitive to the number of performed operations per year. Con-
clusion. The phacoemulsification technique seems to be the
preferred technique for cataract surgery. All the investment in
phacoemulsification equipment and consumables is justified if
the number of surgeries per year exceeds 350.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: Obtaining, understanding, interpreting, and acting on health information enables people with diabetes to engage and make health decisions in various contexts. Hence, inadequate health literacy (HL) could pose a problem in making self-care decisions and in self-management for diabetes. By applying multidimensional instruments to assess HL, it is possible to differentiate domains of functional, communicative, and critical HL. OBJECTIVES: Primarily, this study aimed to measure the prevalence of inadequate HL among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and to analyze the predictors influencing health literacy levels. Secondly, we analyzed if different self-reported measures, unidimensional instruments (Brief Health Literacy instruments (BRIEF-4 and abbreviated version BRIEF-3), and multidimensional instruments (Functional, Communicative and Critical health literacy instrument (FCCHL)) have the same findings. METHODS: The cross-sectional study was conducted within one primary care institution in Serbia between March and September 2021. Data were collected through Serbian versions of BRIEF-4, BRIEF-3, and FCCHL-SR12. A chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and simple logistic regression were used to measure the association between the associated factors and health literacy level. Multivariate analyses were performed with significant predictors from univariate analyses. RESULTS: Overall, 350 patients participated in the study. They were primarily males (55.4%) and had a mean age of 61.5 years (SD = 10.5), ranging from 31 to 82 years. The prevalence of inadequate HL was estimated to be 42.2% (FCCHL-SR12), 36.9% (BRIEF-3) and 33.8% (BRIEF-4). There are variations in the assessment of marginal and adequate HL by different instruments. The highest association was shown between BRIEF-3 and total FCCHL-SR12 score (0.204, p < 0.01). The total FCCHL-SR12 score correlates better with the abbreviated BRIEF instrument (BRIEF-3) than with BRIEF-4 (0.190, p < 0.01). All instruments indicated the highest levels for the communicative HL domain and the lowest for the functional HL domain with significant difference in functional HL between the functional HL of FCCHL-SR12 and both BRIEF-3 and BRIEF-4 (p = 0.006 and 0.008, respectively). Depending on applied instruments, we identified several variables (sociodemographic, access to health-related information, empowerment-related indicators, type of therapy, and frequency of drug administration) that could significantly predict inadequate HL. Probability of inadequate HL increased with older age, fewer children, lower education level, and higher consumption of alcohol. Only high education was associated with a lower probability of inadequate HL for all three instruments. CONCLUSIONS: The results we obtained indicate that patients in our study may have been more functionally illiterate, but differences between functional level could be observed if assessed by unidimensional and multidimensional instruments. The proportion of patients with inadequate HL is approximately similar as assessed by all three instruments. According to the association between HL and educational level in DMT2 patients we should investigate methods of further improvement.

abstract = "INTRODUCTION: Obtaining, understanding, interpreting, and acting on health information enables people with diabetes to engage and make health decisions in various contexts. Hence, inadequate health literacy (HL) could pose a problem in making self-care decisions and in self-management for diabetes. By applying multidimensional instruments to assess HL, it is possible to differentiate domains of functional, communicative, and critical HL. OBJECTIVES: Primarily, this study aimed to measure the prevalence of inadequate HL among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and to analyze the predictors influencing health literacy levels. Secondly, we analyzed if different self-reported measures, unidimensional instruments (Brief Health Literacy instruments (BRIEF-4 and abbreviated version BRIEF-3), and multidimensional instruments (Functional, Communicative and Critical health literacy instrument (FCCHL)) have the same findings. METHODS: The cross-sectional study was conducted within one primary care institution in Serbia between March and September 2021. Data were collected through Serbian versions of BRIEF-4, BRIEF-3, and FCCHL-SR12. A chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and simple logistic regression were used to measure the association between the associated factors and health literacy level. Multivariate analyses were performed with significant predictors from univariate analyses. RESULTS: Overall, 350 patients participated in the study. They were primarily males (55.4%) and had a mean age of 61.5 years (SD = 10.5), ranging from 31 to 82 years. The prevalence of inadequate HL was estimated to be 42.2% (FCCHL-SR12), 36.9% (BRIEF-3) and 33.8% (BRIEF-4). There are variations in the assessment of marginal and adequate HL by different instruments. The highest association was shown between BRIEF-3 and total FCCHL-SR12 score (0.204, p < 0.01). The total FCCHL-SR12 score correlates better with the abbreviated BRIEF instrument (BRIEF-3) than with BRIEF-4 (0.190, p < 0.01). All instruments indicated the highest levels for the communicative HL domain and the lowest for the functional HL domain with significant difference in functional HL between the functional HL of FCCHL-SR12 and both BRIEF-3 and BRIEF-4 (p = 0.006 and 0.008, respectively). Depending on applied instruments, we identified several variables (sociodemographic, access to health-related information, empowerment-related indicators, type of therapy, and frequency of drug administration) that could significantly predict inadequate HL. Probability of inadequate HL increased with older age, fewer children, lower education level, and higher consumption of alcohol. Only high education was associated with a lower probability of inadequate HL for all three instruments. CONCLUSIONS: The results we obtained indicate that patients in our study may have been more functionally illiterate, but differences between functional level could be observed if assessed by unidimensional and multidimensional instruments. The proportion of patients with inadequate HL is approximately similar as assessed by all three instruments. According to the association between HL and educational level in DMT2 patients we should investigate methods of further improvement.",

AB  - The pathogenesis of the COVID-19 infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is
the subject of active research worldwide. As a complex disease, it is suspected that oxidative
stress plays a role in its pathogenesis and contributes to the progressive shortening of
telomeres. Patients aged 25–84 years (n=31) were monitored at the time of diagnosis, as
well as at control on the 14th and 21st days. Redox status parameters were determined: total
oxidant status (TOS), superoxide anion radical (O2.-), prooxidant-antioxidant balance (PAB),
advanced protein oxidation products (AOPP), malondialdehyde (MDA), and ischemia-
modified albumin (IMA) as prooxidants and total antioxidant status (TAS), superoxide-
dismutase (SOD) and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) enzyme activity, total antioxidant and total
oxidant status ratio (TAS/TOS), and total sulfhydryl groups (SHG) as antioxidants. Patients
have the shortest telomeres at diagnosis and their length increases during recovery. A
statistically significant difference in rTL was shown in patients at the time of diagnosis and
after 21 days (p=0.008). rTL has a statistically significant negative correlation with SHG in
patients at the time of diagnosis (ρ=-0.386, p=0.038), as well as in patients after 14 days (ρ =-
0.389, p=0.037). After 21 days, a statistically significant positive correlation was shown
between rTL and SOD (ρ =0.381, p=0.046). The obtained results indicate progressive
shortening of telomeres caused by COVID-19 infection, impaired redox status, as well as the
change of these parameters during recovery, which confirms the link between oxidative
stress and rTL, as well as the participation of these processes in the pathogenesis of COVID-
19.

AB  - Background. Metabolic alterations, particularly disorders of lipoprotein metabolism in COVID-19, may affect the course and outcome of the disease. This study aims at evaluating the lipoprotein profile and redox status in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients with different pneumonia severity and their association with lethal outcomes. Methods. The prospective cohort study was performed on 98 COVID-19 patients with mild, moderate, and severe pneumonia. Lipid and inflammatory parameters, lipoprotein subclasses, and redox status biomarkers were determined at the study entry and after one week. Results. Compared to patients with mild and moderate pneumonia, severely ill patients had higher oxidised low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and malondialdehyde levels and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations and paraoxonase 1 activity. Reduction in the proportion of large HDL 2a subclasses with a concomitant increase in the proportion of smallest HDL 3c and small dense LDL (sdLDL) particles was observed in patients with severe disease during the time. However, these changes were reversed in the mild and moderate groups. The results showed a positive association between changes in oxLDL and total antioxidative status. However, prooxidants and antioxidants in plasma were lower in patients with lethal outcomes. Conclusions. Increased levels of oxLDL and sdLDL particles may contribute to the severity of COVID-19. The role of oxidative stress should be clarified in further studies, mainly its association with lethal outcomes.

AB  - In order to understand the metabolic and immune potential of adiponectin in
colorectal cancer (CRC), attention is drawn to its receptors: adiponectin receptor 1
(ADIPOR1) and adiponectin receptor 2 (ADIPOR2). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of
datasets based on malignant tissue samples and peripheral blood monocytes (PBMs) was
used to explore mRNA fingerprints of different signaling pathways best associated with
ADIPOR1/ADIPOR2 gene expression levels. Transcriptomic datasets GSE44076 (1) and
GSE47756 (2) were downloaded from the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus database. In the
GSE44076 dataset, three groups were formed: 98 colon tumor tissue and matched tumor-
adjacent mucosa samples and tissue samples from 50 healthy volunteers. The other set
(GSE47756) contained information on PBMs' gene signature in CRC, by forming two groups:
38 samples from healthy subjects and 55 CRC patients. GSEA analysis of the GSE44076
dataset implied that ADIPOR1 mRNA levels were in negative association with MTORC1 and
TNF-α NF-κB signaling pathways in tumor tissue. At the same time, ADIPOR2 was positively
associated with metabolic gene sets such as cholesterol homeostasis, glycolysis and PPAR
signaling. Quite opposite to the GSE44076 dataset, GSEA analysisis of GSE47756 revealed
that ADIPOR1 was a metabolically active receptor in PBMs of CRC patients. Surprisingly, the
TNF-α NF-κB signaling pathway gene sets were positively associated with ADIPOR1 mRNA
levels in monocytes of the cancer group. Different types of metabolic and immune regulation
achieved through ADIPOR1/ADIPOR2 in tumor and PBMs suggest possible novel therapeutic
targets in CRC.

GSE44076 je implicira da su nivoi iRNK ADIPOR1 negativno korelirali sa MTORC1 i TNF-α
NF-κB signalnim putevima u tumorskom tkivu. Istovremeno, ADIPOR2 je bio pozitivno

abstract = "In order to understand the metabolic and immune potential of adiponectin in
colorectal cancer (CRC), attention is drawn to its receptors: adiponectin receptor 1
(ADIPOR1) and adiponectin receptor 2 (ADIPOR2). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of
datasets based on malignant tissue samples and peripheral blood monocytes (PBMs) was
used to explore mRNA fingerprints of different signaling pathways best associated with
ADIPOR1/ADIPOR2 gene expression levels. Transcriptomic datasets GSE44076 (1) and
GSE47756 (2) were downloaded from the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus database. In the
GSE44076 dataset, three groups were formed: 98 colon tumor tissue and matched tumor-
adjacent mucosa samples and tissue samples from 50 healthy volunteers. The other set
(GSE47756) contained information on PBMs' gene signature in CRC, by forming two groups:
38 samples from healthy subjects and 55 CRC patients. GSEA analysis of the GSE44076
dataset implied that ADIPOR1 mRNA levels were in negative association with MTORC1 and
TNF-α NF-κB signaling pathways in tumor tissue. At the same time, ADIPOR2 was positively
associated with metabolic gene sets such as cholesterol homeostasis, glycolysis and PPAR
signaling. Quite opposite to the GSE44076 dataset, GSEA analysisis of GSE47756 revealed
that ADIPOR1 was a metabolically active receptor in PBMs of CRC patients. Surprisingly, the

AB  - Health literacy (HL) is an important determinant of health, which has a significant role
in the management of chronic diseases and therapy (1, 2). The aim was to assess functional,
communicative, critical, and total HL and evaluate differences in literacy levels. A cross-
sectional study was performed on a sample in health institutions (pharmacies, health
centers) in urban and rural areas during 2021/2022. A validated version of the FCCHL
questionnaire was used, which assessed HL, in relation to age, gender, place of residence,
chronic disease, marital status, number of children, level of education, employment, smoking
and self-assessment of health. In the sample of 349 chronic patients, women (58.2%) and
diabetics (71.9%) dominated. Although the majority (87.1%) showed adequate HL, there are
differences among patients according to HL levels, except for gender and smoking. There is
the least difference in relation to the level of functional HL, and the most difference is shown
in critical HL. Chronic patients who had a higher level of education, live in Belgrade, parents
and married (χ2 = 28.36, p <0.001, χ2 = 4.19, p <0.05, χ2 = 6.56, p (0.05, χ2 = 14.99, p <0.05,
respectively) had statistically significant higher levels of critical HL. We concluded that the
application of the FCCHL questionnaire can reveal differences in the levels of total HL and
more importantly critical and communicative literacy. These results may be important to
clinicians in practice to easier identify patients who need help with management and use of
information for better disease control.
AB  - Zdravstvena pismenost (HL) je važna odrednica zdravlja, koja ima značajnu ulogu u
upravljanju hroničnim bolestima i terapijom (1, 2). Cilj ovog istraživanja je bila procena
funkcionalne, komunikativne, kritičke i ukupne HL i procene razlika u nivoima pismenosti
kod hroničnih pacijenata. Studija preseka na uzorku u zdravstvenim ustanovama (apoteke,
domovi zdravlja) urađena je u gradskoj i ruralnoj sredini tokom 2021/2022 godine,
korišćenjem validirane verzije FCCHL upitnika, kojim je procenjena HL, u odnosu na: godine,
pol, mesto stanovanja, hronično oboljenje, bračni status, broj dece, stepen obrazovanja, radni
status, pušenje i samoprocenu zdravlja. U uzorku od 349 hroničnih pacijenata, dominanirale
su žene (58,2%) i dijabetičari (71,9%). Iako je većina (87,1%) pokazala adekvatnu HL,
postoje razlike među pacijentima prema nivoima HL, osim prema polu i pušačkom statusu.
Najmanje je razlika u odnosu na nivo funkcionalne HL, a najviše je razlika pokazano kod
kritičke HL. Hronični pacijenti koji su imali veći stepena obrazovanja, stanuju u Beogradu,
roditelji i koji žive u braku (χ2= 28,36, p < 0,001, χ2= 4,19, p < 0,05, χ2 = 6,56, p < 0,05, χ2 =
14,99, p < 0,05, redom), bili su statistički značajno višeg nivoa kritičke HL. Zaključujemo da
se primenom FCCHL upitnika mogu otkriti razlike u nivoima ne samo ukupne HL, već što je
značajnije kritičke i interaktivne prismenosti, što bi trebalo da bude u fokusu daljih
istraživanja. Ovi rezultati mogu biti od značaja kliničarima u praksi da lakše uoče pacijente
kojima je potrebna pomoć u vezi sa upravljanjem i primenom informacija radi bolje kontrole
bolesti.

AB  - Adiponectin (ADIPOQ) as both a regulator of metabolic homeostasis and a protein involved in immune response might be of particular interest to contemporary laboratory medicine, especially in terms of minimally invasive diagnostics. The diverse roles of ADIPOQ with regard to the immune and metabolic aspects of colorectal carcinogenesis have been proposed. However, the expression of its receptors ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2 is scarcely explored in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Moreover, ADIPORs’ relationships with the immune response mediator TNF-α have not been previously investigated in the PBMCs of CRC patients. This study used both in silico and observational case–control analyses with the aim of exploring the association of ADIPOR gene expression and ADIPOQ single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the inflammatory marker TNF-α and lipid status parameters in patients with CRC. Publicly available transcriptomic datasets (GSE47756, GSE44076) obtained from analyses of monocytes and CRC tissue samples were employed for the in silico evaluation of ADIPORs’ specific genetic traits. GSE47756 and GSE44076 datasets were processed with GSEA software to provide a genetic fingertip of different signaling pathways associated with ADIPORs’ mRNA levels. The case–control aspect of the study included the PBMC samples of 73 patients diagnosed with CRC and 80 healthy volunteers. The PCR method was carried out for the PBMC gene expression analysis (ADIPOR1, ADIPOR2, TNF-α mRNA levels) and for the subjects’ genotyping (ADIPOQ rs266729, ADIPOR1 rs7539542). GSEA showed significant associations of ADIPOR mRNA expression with gene sets related to metabolic and immune homeostasis in both datasets. The case–control study revealed the association of ADIPOR1 rs7539542 with reduced lipid status parameters in CRC. In addition, PBMC ADIPOR1 mRNA levels decreased in CRC (p < 0.001), whereas ADIPOR2 mRNA did not differ between the groups (p = 0.442). A reduction in PBMC TNF-α mRNA levels was noted in CRC (p < 0.05). Our results indicate that ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2 play a significant role in the alteration of both metabolic and immune homeostasis during the progression of CRC. For the first time, ADIPOR1 is shown to be a specific receptor for mediating ADIPOQ’s effects in the PBMCs of CRC patients.

AB  - Thoroughly validated instruments can provide a more accurate and reliable picture of how the instrument works and of the level of health literacy in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The present work aimed at cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Functional, Communicative and Critical Health Literacy Instrument (FCCHL) in patients with T2DM in Serbia. After translation and back-translation, views from an expert group, one cognitive interview study (n = 10) and one survey study (n = 130) were conducted among samples of diabetic patients. Item analysis, internal consistency, content validity, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and reliability testing were performed. When all 14 items were analyzed, loading factors were above 0.55, but without adequate model fit. After removing two items with the lowest loadings FHL1 and IHL2 the fit indexes indicated a reasonable normed χ2 (SB scaled χ2/df = 1.90). CFI was 0.916 with SRMR = 0.0676 and RMSEA = 0.0831. To determine internal consistency, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.796 for the whole FCCHL-SR12. With only minor modifications compared to the English version, the 12-item FCCHL instrument is valid and reliable and can be used to measure health literacy among Serbian diabetic patients. However, future research on a larger population in Serbia is necessary for measuring the levels of HL and their relationship with other determinants in this country.

AB  - Statins have been shown to decrease inflammatory markers, especially high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP), in a dose-dependent manner. Pentraxin-3 (PTX3) is another important inflammatory biomarker from the pentraxin family that provides useful prognostic information and facilitates diagnostics of cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated the effect of statin therapy on PTX3 and hsCRP concentrations and whether statins acted synergistically with PTX3 and hsCRP concentrations in lowering LDL-C. The study group consisted of 90 patients undergoing coronary angiography. The results showed that statins reduced PTX3 concentrations (p=0.031). PTX3 and hsCRP levels were significantly different between subclinical and severe stenosis groups (p=0.011 and p=0.009, respectively). Statin therapy was significantly associated with lower PTX3 and LDL-C levels in multiple logistic analyses. The probability that statin therapy would achieve target LDL-C values was highest in patients with low PTX3 values (OR=3.683, p=0.040), while multiplicative interaction was 23.3. The effect of statins on PTX3 reduction was higher than on hsCRP. It can be suggested that statin therapy was more successful in patients with low PTX3 values.

Verovatnoća da će terapija statinima postići ciljne vrednosti LDL- C bila je najveća kod pacijenata sa niskim vrednostima PTX3 (OR=3,683, p=0,040), dok je multiplikativna interakcija bila 23,3. Efekat statina na sniženje PTX3 bio je veći u odnosu na efekat koji ostvaruje na hsCRP. Može se sugerisati da je terapija statinima bila uspešnija kod pacijenata sa niskim vrednostima PTX3.

AB  - Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition closely related to obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to explore the possible relationship between OSA and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Methods: Full-night polysomnography was performed on 150 participants who were divided into three groups: controls, OSA patients on statin therapy, and OSA patients not on statin therapy. Biochemical markers, plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subclasses, and PCSK9 were determined. Results: PCSK9 was highest in OSA patients on statins compared to the control group and to OSA patients not on statins (p = 0.036 and p = 0.039, respectively), after adjustment for body mass index (BMI). LDL diameter was greater in OSA patients not on statins compared to OSA patients on statins (p = 0.032). PCSK9 was highest in the group of patients with all three risk factors (diagnosed OSA, statins, BMI ≥25 kg/m2) compared to groups with no, one, and two risk factors (p = 0.031, p = 0.001, and p = 0.029, respectively). Presence of OSA, statin therapy, and BMI ≥25 kg/m2 when combined were independently associated with higher levels of PCSK9 when adjusted for antihypertensive therapy, small dense LDL, and HDL 3c subclass (odds ratio = 2.849; interquartile range [1.026–7.912], p = 0.044). Conclusion: Statin therapy was closely related to PCSK9. OSA along with obesity and statin use induces elevation of PCSK9.

AB  - Background: The aim of this study was to determine the reference intervals (RIs) for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3) and FT3/FT4 ratio using indirect methods. Methods: We analyzed 1256 results TSH, FT4 and FT3 collected from a laboratory information system between 2017 and 2021. All measurements were performed on a Siemens ADVIA Centaur XP analyzer using the chemiluminescent immunoassay. We calculated the values of the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles as recommended by the IFCC (CLSI C28-A3). Results: The RIs derived for TSH, FT4, FT3 and FT3/FT4 ratio were 0.34–4.10 mIU/L, 11.3–20.6 pmol/L, 3.5–6.32 pmol/L and 0.21–0.47, respectively. We found a significant difference between calculated RIs for the TSH and FT4 and those recommended by the manufacturer. Also, FT3 values were significantly higher in the group younger than 30 years relative to the fourth decade (5.26 vs. 5.02, p=0.005), the fifth decade (5.26 vs. 4.94, p=0.001), the sixth decade (5.26 vs. 4.87, p<0.001), the seventh decade (5.26 vs. 4.79, p<0.001) and the group older than 70 years old (5.26 vs. 4.55, p<0.001). Likewise, we found for TSH values and FT3/FT4 ratio a significant difference (p <0.001) between different age groups. Conclusions: The establishing RIs for the population of the Republic of Srpska were significantly differed from the recommended RIs by the manufacturer for TSH and FT4. Our results encourage other laboratories to develop their own RIs for thyroid parameters by applying CLSI recommendations.
AB  - Uvod: Cilj ove studije bio je da se odrede referentni intervali (RI) tireotropnog hormona (TSH), slobodnog tiroksina (FT4), slobodnog trijodotironina (FT3) i odnosa FT3/FT4 indirektnom metodom procene referentnih intervala. Metode: Analizirali smo 1256 dobijenih vrednosti TSH, FT4 i FT3 u periodu između 2017. i 2021. godine. Rezultate smo uzeli iz laboratorijskog informacionog sistema. Sva merenja su izvedena na Siemens ADVIA Centaur XP analizatoru pomo}u hemiluminiscentnih imunohemijskih testova. Izračunali smo vrednosti 2,5-og i 97,5-og percentila prema preporuci IFCC-a (CLSI C28-A3). Rezultati: Procenjeni RI za TSH, FT4, FT3 i odnos FT3/FT4 bili su 0,34-4,10 mIU/L; 11,3-20,6 pmol/L; 3,5-6,32 pmol/L i 0,21-0,47. Utvrdili smo značajnu razliku između izračunatih RI za TSH i FT4 i onih koje preporučuje proizvođač. Takođe, vrednosti FT3 bile su značajno ve}e u grupi mlađoj od 30 godina u odnosu na četvrtu deceniju (5,26 vs. 5,02; p = 0,005), petu deceniju (5,26 vs. 4,94; p = 0,001), šestu deceniju (5,26 vs. 4,87; p<0,001), sedmu deceniju (5,26 vs. 4,79; p<0,001) i grupu stariju od 70 godina (5,26 vs. 4,55; p<0,001). Isto tako, za vrednosti TSH i odnos FT3/FT4 pronašli smo značajnu razliku (p <0,001) između različitih dobnih grupa. Zaključak: Procenjene vrednosti referentnih intervala za TSH i FT4 za stanovništvo Republike Srpske značajno su se razlikovale od preporučenih RI od strane proizvođača. Naši rezultati podstiču druge laboratorije da izrade sopstvene RI za parametre štitne žlezde primenom CLSI preporuka.

Likewise, we found for TSH values and FT3/FT4 ratio a significant difference (p <0.001) between different age groups. Conclusions: The establishing RIs for the population of the Republic of Srpska were significantly differed from the recommended RIs by the manufacturer for TSH and FT4. Our results encourage other laboratories to develop their own RIs for thyroid parameters by applying CLSI recommendations., Uvod: Cilj ove studije bio je da se odrede referentni intervali (RI) tireotropnog hormona (TSH), slobodnog tiroksina (FT4), slobodnog trijodotironina (FT3) i odnosa FT3/FT4 indirektnom metodom procene referentnih intervala. Metode: Analizirali smo 1256 dobijenih vrednosti TSH, FT4 i FT3 u periodu između 2017. i 2021. godine. Rezultate smo uzeli iz laboratorijskog informacionog sistema. Sva merenja su izvedena na Siemens ADVIA Centaur XP analizatoru pomo}u hemiluminiscentnih imunohemijskih testova. Izračunali smo vrednosti 2,5-og i 97,5-og percentila prema preporuci IFCC-a (CLSI C28-A3). Rezultati: Procenjeni RI za TSH, FT4, FT3 i odnos FT3/FT4 bili su 0,34-4,10 mIU/L; 11,3-20,6 pmol/L; 3,5-6,32 pmol/L i 0,21-0,47. Utvrdili smo značajnu razliku između izračunatih RI za TSH i FT4 i onih koje preporučuje proizvođač. Takođe, vrednosti FT3 bile su značajno ve}e u grupi mlađoj od 30 godina u odnosu na četvrtu deceniju (5,26 vs. 5,02; p = 0,005), petu deceniju (5,26 vs. 4,94; p = 0,001), šestu deceniju (5,26 vs. 4,87; p<0,001), sedmu deceniju (5,26 vs. 4,79; p<0,001) i grupu stariju od 70 godina (5,26 vs. 4,55; p<0,001). Isto tako, za vrednosti TSH i odnos FT3/FT4 pronašli smo značajnu razliku (p <0,001) između različitih dobnih grupa. Zaključak: Procenjene vrednosti referentnih intervala za TSH i FT4 za stanovništvo Republike Srpske značajno su se razlikovale od preporučenih RI od strane proizvođača. Naši rezultati podstiču druge laboratorije da izrade sopstvene RI za parametre štitne žlezde primenom CLSI preporuka.",

AB  - Compelling evidence supports the causative link between increased levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) development. For that reason, the principal aim of primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention is to reach and sustain recommended LDL-C goals. Although there is a considerable body of evidence that shows that lowering LDL-C levels is directly associated with CVD risk reduction, recent data shows that the majority of patients across Europe cannot achieve their LDL-C targets. In attempting to address this matter, a new overarching concept of a lipid-lowering approach, comprising of even more intensive, much earlier and longer intervention to reduce LDL-C level, was recently proposed for high-risk patients. Another important concern is the residual risk for recurrent cardiovascular events despite optimal LDL-C reduction, suggesting that novel lipid biomarkers should also be considered as potential therapeutic targets. Among them, small dense LDL particles (sdLDL) seem to have the most significant potential for therapeutic modulation. This paper discusses the potential of traditional and emerging lipid-lowering approaches for cardiovascular prevention by targeting sdLDL particles.

AB  - Background: Patients with chronic diseases, like diabetes need to continuously perform tasks associated with self-management especially with medications they use. It is shown that the patients with diabetes with limited HL and PTHL cannot read medication labels correctly, may misuse their medications, spend much more on therapy and generally have difficulties in understanding printed care instructions and perceiving health advice and warnings. There has been an increasing demand for valid and reliable instruments for HL and PTHL assessment in this population. This review aims to search and critically discuss instruments used to assess HL and PTHL in people with type 2 diabetes and propose their use in different settings. Methods: Authors conducted a comprehensive, electronic search of original studies using a structured approach of the Scopus and PubMed databases, during November and the first 2 weeks of December 2020 to find relevant papers. The review was conducted in accordance with the Cochrane guidelines and the reporting was based on the PRISMA-ScR. The comparison of instruments was made by utilizing a comparison model related to their structure, measurement scope, range, psychometric properties, validation, strengths, and limitations. Results: The final number of included studies was 24, extracting the following identified instruments: Korean Functional Test HL, NVS, FCCHL, HLS-EU-47, TOFLHA, S-TOFHLA, REALM-R, 3-brief SQ, REALM, HLQ and DNT-15. In all, FCCHL and 3-brief SQ are shown with the broadest measurement scopes. They are quick, easy, and inexpensive for administration. FCCHL can be considered the most useful and comprehensive instrument to screen for inadequate HL. The limitation is that the English version is not validated. Three-brief SQ has many advantages in comparison to other instruments, including that it is less likely to cause anxiety and shame. These instruments can be considered the best for measuring functional HL in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and other chronic diseases. PTHL instruments (REALM and DNT-15) did not find the best application in this population. Conclusions: The future research should be directed in validation of the FCCHL in English and establishing of the structural validity of this questionnaire. Developing a specific PTHL questionnaire for this population will be of great help in management of their disease.

AB  - The objective of this study was to formulate extended-release mucoadhesive buccal tablets of propranolol hydrochloride in order to provide a prolonged absorption of propranolol hydrochloride from the buccal mucosa and to reduce presystemic metabolism and thus provide a better therapeutic effect. Besides, the aim was to perform comparative in vivo pharmacokinetic and hemodynamic studies of the developed extended-release (ER) propranolol hydrochloride 10 mg mucoadhesive buccal tablets and commercial immediate-release (IR) propranolol hydrochloride 10 mg tablets in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Formulation with 15% polyethylene oxide showed the highest degree of propranolol hydrochloride permeation, satisfactory mucoadhesiveness, and extended-release of propranolol hydrochloride, thus it was selected for further in vivo study. The pharmacokinetic study in rats showed the superiority of ER mucoadhesive buccal tablets over IR tablets in terms of propranolol hydrochloride absorption extent (AUC values: 70.32 ± 19.56 versus 31.69 ± 6.97 μg⋅h/mL), although lower maximum plasma propranolol hydrochloride concentration (Cmax) was achieved. However, no statistically significant difference was observed in Cmax between these treatments. The hemodynamic study showed that ER mucoadhesive buccal tablets provide a more pronounced decrease primarily in heart rate, but also in systolic and diastolic arterial pressure, as well as a longer heart rate reduction compared to IR tablets.

AB  - Objective. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) represents the significant source of increased oxidative stress (OS). We aimed to follow the OS status parameters (i.e., ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide anion, prooxidantantioxidant balance (PAB), total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), and superoxide-dismutase (SOD)) change through the predefined study times in two different surgical procedures, i.e., cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). Additionally, we aimed to investigate those OS status parameters in specific study times according to SYNTAX score (SS), an established angiographic score for evaluating the extensity and severity of coronary artery disease. Patients and Methods. A total of 107 patients that were planned to undergo CABG were included (i.e., 47 patients in OPCAB and 60 patients in CPB group). Blood samples were taken at 6 time intervals: before surgery (t1), immediately after intervention (t2), 6 h (t3), 24 h (t4), 48 h (t5), and 96 h after termination of the operation (t6). Results. IMA levels were higher in CPB than that in OPCAB baseline and rose in CPB group in t2 point. TOS decreased in both study groups, compared to baseline values, but without statistical significance. Superoxide anion and PAB significantly increased in t3-t6 study times, in both groups. MDA significantly increased only in CPB group in t5 and t6 interval. MDA was significantly higher in CPB group compared to OPCAB in t6 study point. CPB patients had significantly lower TAS compared to OPCAB patients at the beginning and in t2 and t3 study points. They also had significantly lower SOD activities compared to OPCAB, baseline, and in several study points. Moreover, TAS, SOD, and TAS/TOS ratio were significantly lower, whereas PAB and TOS/TAS were significantly higher in patients with high SS compared to corresponding groups. SOD activity, IMA, and TAS level were the best predictors of high SS. Conclusion. CPB patients were in more severe ischemia baseline than OPCAB group and IMA rose in CPB patients immediately after the surgery end, but not later. Also, the antioxidant status was significantly lower, whereas the prooxidant status was significantly higher in patients with high SS compared to corresponding groups. SOD activity, IMA, and TAS level were the best predictors of CAD (as determined with SS), showing that SOD and IMA had very good discriminatory capability towards higher SS status.

abstract = "Objective. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) represents the significant source of increased oxidative stress (OS). We aimed to follow the OS status parameters (i.e., ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide anion, prooxidantantioxidant balance (PAB), total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), and superoxide-dismutase (SOD)) change through the predefined study times in two different surgical procedures, i.e., cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). Additionally, we aimed to investigate those OS status parameters in specific study times according to SYNTAX score (SS), an established angiographic score for evaluating the extensity and severity of coronary artery disease. Patients and Methods. A total of 107 patients that were planned to undergo CABG were included (i.e., 47 patients in OPCAB and 60 patients in CPB group). Blood samples were taken at 6 time intervals: before surgery (t1), immediately after intervention (t2), 6 h (t3), 24 h (t4), 48 h (t5), and 96 h after termination of the operation (t6). Results.

AB  - OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) seems to present a powerful trigger of oxidative stress (OS) and acute inflammatory response. This study aimed to estimate the effects of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) grafting on the OS that is commonly observed in patients undergoing operation under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Additionally, we aimed to examine the relationship between and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity and the degree of stenosis, severity and complexity of the atherosclerotic lesions, estimated by SYNTAX score (SS). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Study group of 107 patients scheduled for CABG were divided into CPB and OPCAB group. Blood samples for OS markers measurement were collected at six-time intervals: before skin incision (t1), immediately after surgery (t2), 6h (t3), 24h (t4), 48h (t5) and 96h after cessation of the operation and surgical trauma (t6). SS was calculated. RESULTS: A significant decrease in lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH) and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) levels after both types of surgeries were observed, whereas PON1 reduction was observed higher in the CPB than in the OPCAB group. A significant inverse correlation between SS values and PON1 activity, preoperatively and during the early postoperative hours after surgery [in t2, t3 time intervals (p<0.05 for all)] was found. ROC analysis showed that for CPB patients, Model with all OS parameters showed excellent accuracy (AUC=0.957, p<0.001) for prediction postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: Decrease in PON1 activity during the early post-operative phases was related to higher SS. This relationship was more convincing in CPB, compared with OPCAB patients. Moreover, integrated models of OS status parameters have the capability to predict the development of postoperative complications.

AB  - We investigated circulating levels of inflammatory biomarkers pentraxin-3 (PTX3), cyclophilin A (CypA), and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF); oxidative stress; and antioxidant status markers in the patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) to better understand a relationship between inflammation and oxidative stress. We examined the impact of oxidative stress on high values of inflammatory parameters. The study included 87 patients with STEMI and 193 controls. We observed a positive correlation between PTX3 and HB-EGF (ρ = 0.24, P = .027), CyPA, and sulfhydryl (SH) groups (ρ = 0.25, P = .026), and a negative correlation between PTX3 and SH groups (ρ = −0.35, P = .001) in patients with STEMI. To better understand the effect of the examined parameters on the occurrence of high concentrations of inflammatory parameters, we grouped them using principal component analysis. This analysis identified the 4 most contributing factors. Optimal cutoff values for discrimination of patients with STEMI from controls were calculated for PTX3 and HB-EGF. An independent predictor for PTX3 above the cutoff value was a “metabolic-oxidative stress factor” comprised of glucose and oxidative stress marker prooxidant-antioxidant balance (odds ratio = 4.449, P = .030). The results show that higher PTX3 values will occur in patients having STEMI with greater metabolic and oxidative stress status values.

AB  - The background of this study was transfer assessment for H3BO3 assays according to different pharmacopoeias’ monographs and verification of the crucial parameters—the polyols’ excess (mannitol, glycerine, sorbitol), the initial H3BO3 concentrations and the indicator’s concentrations. The purpose of the work was the comparative study according to different pharmacopoeias: the European (EP 9), the American (USP 35-NF 30), the Japanese (JP XVII), important for quality control of H3BO3, as an active component or an excipient. pH analyses were set up to establish the effects of selected polyols and the initial H3BO3 concentrations. For evaluation of assay results and methods’ equivalence, standard t test and two one-sided t test (TOST) were applied. Pharmacopoeias’ procedures propose volumetric analyses by 1 M NaOH standard solution with visual end-point detection (phenolphthalein) using sufficiently high H3BO3 concentrations and less excess of polyols, as the good alternative to potentiometric method. The influence of phenolphthalein’s concentration (0.1%, 1%), evidenced as relevant factor, caused the difference shown by standard t test: 99.82% (EP 9) and 99.66% (JP XVII). Equivalences between three methods were confirmed by TOST procedures with defined acceptance criterion ± 2% derived from the mean value (99.83%). The comparative study results pointed out that the initial phenolphthalein’s concentration was the crucial influencing factor on harmonization of assay mean values, which was confirmed by TOST application for the methods’ equivalency in method transfer evaluation. The best possible correlation between the lowest excess of polyol-sorbitol and the highest initial boric acid concentration was proved by JP XVII, which was indicated by pH-metric analyses.

AB  - Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity in wide world population. Dyslipidemia, inflammation and oxidative stress may contribute to disruption of endothelium structure and function, atherosclerosis and CAD. Our study was aimed to determine whether Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) and Mn superoxide dismutase (Mn SOD) gene expression could be modulated by oxidative stress in CAD patients. Methods: This study included 77 CAD patients and 31 apparently healthy persons. Serum lipid levels, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), total antioxidant status (TAS) and thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARS) were measured. SOD isoenzymes gene expression was determined in peripheral blood mononuclear cells using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results: Mn SOD messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels were significantly lower in CAD patients than in controls (p=0.011), while Cu/Zn SOD mRNA levels did not change significantly between tested groups (p=0.091). We found significantly lower high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c) (p lt 0.001) and TAS (p lt 0.001) levels and significantly higher hsCRP (p=0.002) and TBARS (p lt 0.001) in CAD patients than in controls. There were significant positive correlations between TAS and Mn SOD mRNA (rho=0.243, p=0.020) and TAS and Cu/Zn SOD mRNA (rho=0.359, p lt 0.001). TBARS negatively correlated only with Cu/Zn SOD mRNA (rho=-0.215, p=0.040). TAS levels remained independent predictor for Mn SOD mRNA levels (OR = 2.995, p=0.034). Conclusions: Results of this study showed that Mn SOD gene expression were decreased in CAD patients compared to controls and can be modulated by nonenzymatic antioxidant status in blood.
