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  - Background: Pharmacotherapy literacy (PTHL) is a specific ability to safely access, appraise and understand the available information concerning medication and to calculate and act accordingly. The concept of PTHL is mostly unknown for the majority of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2) patients in Serbia. With diabetes being one of the major public health problems in Serbia with a prevalence of 9.1%, this two-study research aims at constructing performance-based instrument and estimating the prevalence of PTHL levels and identification of predictors of low PTHL scores in patients with DMT2. Methods: Multistage study was performed to adapt the existing performance–based instrument (PTHL-SR) into specific questionnaire for DMT2 population (PTHL-DM instrument). PTHL levels were assessed through cross-sectional study categorising patients into groups of low, medium, and high PTHL levels. We considered 19 predictors for low PTHL scores, from sociodemographic characteristics, health behaviours and health characteristics, access to health-related information and empowerment-related indicators. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine independent predictors of low PTHL. Results: The final 15-item PTHL-DM instrument proved to have satisfactory reliability (KR20 = 0.475) and internal reliability [ICC for the whole instrument was 0.97 with 95% confidence intervals (0.95–0.99)]. Positive correlation (rho = 0.69) between PTHL-DM score (15 questions) and the total PTHL-SR score (14 questions) was also observed. It was demonstrated that the majority of 350 patients had low PTHL (62%), and only 5% high PTHL level. Mean score on PTHL-DM was 7.8 ± 2.3. Probability of low PTHL increased among smokers, patients with low interest in health and those who estimated their health as bad. Patients who used pharmacists as sourse of information were less likely to be pharmacotherapy illiterate. Combined therapy with insulin and Oral Hypoglycemic Agents was associated with higher PTHL. Conclusions: Our data indicate that specific PTHL-DM tool is objective, valid, and reliable. It was found that low level of PTHL prevailed among DMT2 patients. Medication literacy is influenced by age, residence, education, and family status. Patients with better health literacy also reported better health behaviours. Different patient empowerment programs and approaches aimed at raising PTHL would be essential to improve self-management and control of this widespread chronic disease in Serbia.

AB  - Background: The pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome by coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a multi-system disease caused by a diffuse systemic process involving a complex interaction of the inflammatory, immunological and coagulative cascades. This study aims to identify the most effective biomarkers to predict poor outcome in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with severe COVID-19 disease. Methods: A single-centre retrospective observational study enrolled 69 deceased and 20 recovered patients treated in the ICU of the General Hospital Gradiska in the period from March 1, 2021. until April 1, 2022. We evaluated the leukocytes (WBC), lymphocytes (LYM), neutrophils (NEU), platelets (PLT), haemoglobin, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII). In addition, we evaluated the IL-6, ferritin, CRP, D-dimer, magnesium, bilirubin and lactate dehydrogenase. Results: Between deceased and recovered patients on admission to the ICU, there was a significant differencebetween the following parameters: WBC x10 9/L 11.50 (8.86–14.75) vs. 9.40 (5.90–11.90), p =0.026 ; NEU x10 9 /L 10.15 (7.81–12.74) vs. 8.60 (4.80–10.30) p=0.022 ; NLR 15.01 (10.60–24.33) vs. 9.45 (5.10– 14.90) p=0.02 ; SII 3712 (2240–6543) vs. 1949 (993–3720) p=0.003 . The magnesium level increased significantly over time in the patients who died, while the haemoglobin level and platelet count decreased. ROC analysis showed the following AUC values: WBC 0.774; NEU 0.781; NLR 0.786; SII 0.776; D-dimer 0.741, and bilirubin 0.713. Conclusion: In this retrospective study WBC, NEU, NLR, SII, D-dimer, and bilirubin determined at hospital admission had a high value in predicting death among patients with severe COVID-19.

Cilj ove studije je da utvrdi najefikasnije biomarkere u proceni lošeg ishoda pacijenata u jedinici intenzivne nege (ICU) obolelih od teškog oblika bolesti COVID-19. Metode: Retrospektivna opservaciona studija je uključivala 69 preminulih i 20 preživelih pacijenata lečenih u ICU u Opštoj bolnici Gradiška u periodu od 01.03.2021. do 01.04.2022. godine. Procenjivane su vrednosti leukocita (WBC), limfocita (LYM), neutrofila (NEU), trombocita (PLT), hemoglobina, odnosa neutrofila i limfocita (NLR), odnosa trom bocita i limfocita (PLR), sistemskog inflama tornog indeksa (SII). Takođe, procenjivane su vrednosti inter leukina6, feritina, CRP, D-dimera, magnezijuma, bilirubina i aktivnost laktat dehidrogenaze. Rezultati: Prilikom prijema pacijenata u ICU postojala je značajna razlika u vrednostima sledećih parametara između preminulih i preživelih pacijenata: WBC x 109/L 11,50 (8,86-14,75) prema (vs.) 9,40 (5,90-11,90), p=0,026; NEU x109/L 10,15 (7,81-12,74) vs. 8,60 (4,80-10,30) p=0,022; NLR 15,01 (10,60-24,33) vs. 9,45 (5,10-14,90) p=0,02; SII 3712 (2240-6543) vs. 1949 (993-3720) p=0,003. Takođe, tokom vremena koncentracija magnezijuma je značajno rasla u grupi preminulih pacijenata, dok je koncentracija hemoglobina i broj trombocita opadao.

AB  - The aim of this multicentric study was to assess the impacts of oxidative stress, inflam-
mation, and the presence of small, dense, low-density lipoproteins (sdLDL) on the antioxidative
function of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subclasses and the distribution of paraoxonase-1 (PON1)
activity within HDL in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). In
69 STEMI patients and 67 healthy control subjects, the lipoproteins’ subclasses were separated using
polyacrylamide gradient (3–31%) gel electrophoresis. The relative proportion of sdLDL and each
HDL subclass was evaluated by measuring the areas under the peaks of densitometric scans. The
distribution of the relative proportion of PON1 activity within the HDL subclasses (pPON1 within
HDL) was estimated using the zymogram method. The STEMI patients had significantly lower
proportions of HDL2a and HDL3a subclasses (p = 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively) and lower pPON1
within HDL3b (p = 0.006), as well as higher proportions of HDL3b and HDL3c subclasses (p = 0.013
and p < 0.001, respectively) and higher pPON1 within HDL2 than the controls. Independent positive
associations between sdLDL and pPON1 within HDL3a and between malondialdehyde (MDA) and
pPON1 within HDL2b were shown in the STEMI group. The increased oxidative stress and increased
proportion of sdLDL in STEMI are closely related to the compromised antioxidative function of small
HDL3 particles and the altered pPON1 within HDL.

function of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subclasses and the distribution of paraoxonase-1 (PON1)
activity within HDL in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). In
69 STEMI patients and 67 healthy control subjects, the lipoproteins’ subclasses were separated using
polyacrylamide gradient (3–31%) gel electrophoresis. The relative proportion of sdLDL and each
HDL subclass was evaluated by measuring the areas under the peaks of densitometric scans. The
distribution of the relative proportion of PON1 activity within the HDL subclasses (pPON1 within
HDL) was estimated using the zymogram method. The STEMI patients had significantly lower
proportions of HDL2a and HDL3a subclasses (p = 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively) and lower pPON1
within HDL3b (p = 0.006), as well as higher proportions of HDL3b and HDL3c subclasses (p = 0.013
and p < 0.001, respectively) and higher pPON1 within HDL2 than the controls. Independent positive
associations between sdLDL and pPON1 within HDL3a and between malondialdehyde (MDA) and
pPON1 within HDL2b were shown in the STEMI group. The increased oxidative stress and increased
proportion of sdLDL in STEMI are closely related to the compromised antioxidative function of small
HDL3 particles and the altered pPON1 within HDL.",

AB  - The research subject of this paper is the analysis of the attitudes of employees in pharmaceutical companies towards the business aspects of the pharmaceutical industry during and after the end of the pandemic in the Republic of Serbia. The aim is to examine the differences in the attitudes of employees, as well as to determine which variables predict the situations of endangering the professional reputation of pharmaceutical companies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research was conducted by means of a survey during 2021 on a sample of 27 innovative and generic pharmaceutical companies. We used the SPSS program for descriptive statistics analysis, chi square test and binary logistic regression models. The findings show that there is a statistically significant difference in the expressed attitudes of employees in innovative and generic pharmaceutical companies in terms of coming to the office during the pandemic; the lack of medicines and medical devices used in the treatment of COVID-19 infections; the patient access to a chosen doctor; the expectations of the employees to continue working from home after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings of the binary regression models show the slowdown in the supply chain, the access to doctors and working from the home office have not been perceived as creating situations of endangering professional reputations, that is, they contribute to the sustainable economic success. On the other hand, the introduction of digital technologies decreases the occurrence of conditions in which their professional reputation has been threatened.

AB  - Objectives: The study aimed to identify differences and compare anatomical and biomechanical features between elective and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Methods: Data (clinical, anatomical, and biomechanical) of 98 patients with AAA, 75 (76.53%) asymptomatic (Group aAAA) and 23 (23.46%) ruptured AAA (Group rAAA), were prospectively collected and analyzed. Anatomical, morphological, and biomechanical imaging markers like peak wall stress (PWS) and rupture risk equivalent diameter (RRED), comorbid conditions, and demographics were compared between the groups. Biomechanical features were assessed by analysis of Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine images by A4clinics (Vascops), and anatomical features were assessed by 3Surgery (Trimensio). Binary and multiple logistic regression analysis were used and adjusted for confounders. Accuracy was assessed using receiving operative characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: In a multivariable model, including gender and age as confounder variables, maximal aneurysm diameter [MAD, odds ratio (OR) = 1.063], relative intraluminal thrombus (rILT, OR = 1.039), and total aneurysm volume (TAV, OR = 1.006) continued to be significant predictors of AAA rupture with PWS (OR = 1.010) and RRED (OR = 1.031). Area under the ROC curve values and correct classification (cc) for the same parameters and the model that combines MAD, TAV, and rILT were measured: MAD (0.790, cc = 75%), PWS (0.713, cc = 73%), RRED (0.717, cc = 55%), TAV (0.756, cc = 79%), rILT (0.656, cc = 60%), and MAD + TAV + rILT (0.797, cc = 82%). Conclusion: Based on our results, in addition to MAD, other important predictors of rupture that might be used during aneurysm surveillance are TAV and rILT. Biomechanical parameters (PWS, RRED) as valuable predictors should be assessed in prospective clinical trials. Similar studies on AAA smaller than 55 mm in diameter, even difficult to organize, would be of even greater clinical value. 2023 Koncar, Nikolic, Milosevic, Bogavac-Stanojevic, Ilic, Dragas, Sladojevic, Markovic, Vujcic, Filipovic and Davidovic.

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  - Uvod/Cilj. Operacija katarakte predstavlja jednu od najčešće
primenjivanih hirurških intervencija. U zapadnim zemljama,
dominantna tehnika je fakoemulzifikacija, dok je u zemljama u
razvoju najzastupljenija tehnika ekstrakapsularne ekstrakcije
(ECCE). Cilj rada bio je da se proceni ekonomska isplativost te
dve tehnike operacije katarakte iz perspektive pružaoca usluge,
ukoliko se kao ishod posmatraju komplikacije. Metode. Podaci
su dobijeni sa Očnog odeljenja Opšte bolnice Kruševac tokom
jednogodišnjeg perioda. Ukupno je izvedeno 1 179 operacija
od strane pet hirurga. Ekonomska isplativost je procenjena
primenom „drveta odlučivanja“. Verovatnoće za događaje su
izračunate na osnovu verovatnoće pojavljivanja tokom
navedenog perioda. U analizi su razmatrani samo direktni
troškovi, a vrednosti su preuzete iz prateće dokumentacije i
zvaničnog cenovnika zdravstvenih usluga. Sprovedena je
jednosmerna i dvosmerna analiza osetljivosti. Rezultati.Ukupni troškovi u grupi koja je bila podvrgnuta
fakoemulzifikaciji iznosili su 71 008.70 srpskih dinara (RSD),
dok su u ECC E grupi oni iznosili 74 340.36 RSD.
Istovremeno, fakoemulzifikacija je pokazala višu efikasnost u
odnosu na ECCE, 87% i 57% bolesnika bez komplikacija,
redom. Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata, fakoemulzifikacija je
bila dominantna strategija u poređenju sa ECCE. Analiza
osetljivosti pokazala je da su rezultati osetljivi na broj izvršenih
intervencija na godišnjem nivou. Zaključak.

abstract = "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., Uvod/Cilj. Operacija katarakte predstavlja jednu od najčešće
primenjivanih hirurških intervencija. U zapadnim zemljama,
dominantna tehnika je fakoemulzifikacija, dok je u zemljama u
razvoju najzastupljenija tehnika ekstrakapsularne ekstrakcije
(ECCE). Cilj rada bio je da se proceni ekonomska isplativost te
dve tehnike operacije katarakte iz perspektive pružaoca usluge,
ukoliko se kao ishod posmatraju komplikacije. Metode. Podaci
su dobijeni sa Očnog odeljenja Opšte bolnice Kruševac tokom
jednogodišnjeg perioda. Ukupno je izvedeno 1 179 operacija
od strane pet hirurga. Ekonomska isplativost je procenjena
primenom „drveta odlučivanja“. Verovatnoće za događaje su
izračunate na osnovu verovatnoće pojavljivanja tokom
navedenog perioda. U analizi su razmatrani samo direktni
troškovi, a vrednosti su preuzete iz prateće dokumentacije i
zvaničnog cenovnika zdravstvenih usluga. Sprovedena je
jednosmerna i dvosmerna analiza osetljivosti. Rezultati.Ukupni troškovi u grupi koja je bila podvrgnuta
fakoemulzifikaciji iznosili su 71 008.70 srpskih dinara (RSD),
dok su u ECC E grupi oni iznosili 74 340.36 RSD.
Istovremeno, fakoemulzifikacija je pokazala višu efikasnost u
odnosu na ECCE, 87% i 57% bolesnika bez komplikacija,
redom. Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata, fakoemulzifikacija je
bila dominantna strategija u poređenju sa ECCE. Analiza
osetljivosti pokazala je da su rezultati osetljivi na broj izvršenih
intervencija na godišnjem nivou. Zaključak.
Fakoemulzifikacija je ekonomski isplativija tehnika operacije
katarakte u odnosu na ECCE. Sva ulaganje u opremu i potrošni
materijal za fakoemulzifikaciju opravdani su ukoliko je broj
izvedenih operacija na godišnjem nivou preko 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.

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
povezan sa skupovima gena metaboličkih puteva kao što su homeostaza holesterola,

pacijenata sa CRC. Iznenađujuć e, setovi gena koji su se odnosili na signalni put TNF-α NF-κB
su bili pozitivno povezani sa nivoima iRNK ADIPOR1 u monocitima grupe sa karcinomom.

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,

abstract = "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., 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

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  - Patogeneza COVID-19 infekcije izazvane koronavirusom SARS-CoV-2 je predmet
aktivnog istraživanja širom sveta. Kako je u pitanju složena bolest, smatra se da i u njenoj

starosti 25-84 godina (n=31) praćeni su u trenutku postavljanja dijagnoze, kao i na kontroli
14. i 21. dana. Parametri redoks statusa određivani su iz seruma ili plazme odgovarajućim
spektrofotometrijskim metodama, dok je iz leukocita periferne krvi merena relativna dužina
telomera (rTL) pomoću qPCR metode. Od parametara oksidativnog statusa određivani su:
totalni oksidantni status (TOS), superoksidni anjon radikal (O2.- ), prooksidantno-
antioksidantni balans (PAB), uznapredovali produkti oksidacije proteina (AOPP),
malondialdehid (MDA), ishemijom modifikovan albumin (IMA). Kao parametri
antioksidativne zaštite određivani su: totalni antioksidantni status (TAS), aktivnost enzima
superoksid-dismutaze (SOD) i paraoksonaze 1 (PON1), odnos totalnog antioksidantnog i
totalnog oksidantnog statusa (TAS/TOS), kao i ukupne sulfhidrilne grupe (SHG). Pacijenti u
trenutku postavljanja dijagnoze imaju najkraće telomere i njihova dužina se povećava tokom
oporavka. Pokazana je statistički značajna razlika u rTL kod pacijenata u trenutku
postavljanja dijagnoze i nakon 21 dan (p=0,008). rTL je u statistički značajnoj negativnoj
korelaciji sa SHG kod pacijenata u trenutku postavljanja dijagnoze (ρ=-0,386, p=0,038), kao i
kod pacijenata nakon 14 dana oporavka (ρ=-0,389, p=0,037). Nakon 21 dan, pokazana je
statistički značajna pozitivna korelacija između rTL i SOD (ρ=0,381, p=0,046). Dobijeni
rezultati ukazuju na progresivno skraćenje telomera izazvano COVID-19 infekcijom, narušen
redoks status, kao i na promenu ovih parametara tokom oporavka, koja potvrđuje vezu
između oksidativnog stresa i rTL, kao i učešće ovih procesa u patogenezi 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.

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  - 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.
AB  - Pokazano je da statini snižavaju koncentracije inflamatornih markera, posebno visoko osetljivog C reaktivnog proteina (hsCRP), pri čemu je sniženje zavisno od doze leka.

U ovoj studiji je ispitivan efekat terapije statinima na koncentracije PTX3 i hsCRP, kao i sinergistički efekat terapije, koncentracija PTX3 i hsCRP u snižavanju LDL-C. U studiju je uključeno 90 pacijenata kojima je koronarnom angiografijom procenjeno suženje koronarnih krvnih sudova. Rezultati su pokazali da statini smanjuju koncentraciju PTX3 (p=0,031). Koncentracije PTX3 i hsCRP značajno se razlikuju između grupa sa subkliničkim (p=0,011) i teškim oblikom stenoze (p=0,009). Primenom multiple logističke regresione analize uočena je veza između terapije statinima i niskih koncentracija PTX3 i LDL-C. 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.

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.

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  - 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  - Prenos instrumentov za merjenje kakovosti življenja, razvitih v nekaterih, večinoma razvitejših delih sveta, zahteva transkulturno validacijo. Kljub temu tovrstni instrumenti običajno ne zajemajo regionalno specifičnih vidikov kakovosti življenja, povezanih z zdravjem. Namen študije je bil razviti in potrditi zanesljiv vprašalnik v srbskem, hrvaškem, bosansko-hrvaško-srbskem in črnogorskem jeziku, primeren za merjenje kakovosti življenja, povezanega z zdravjem odraslih.
AB  - Translations of instruments for measuring quality of life developed in certain, mostly more
developed, parts of the world usually do not cover regionally specific aspects of health-related quality of life,
even after transcultural validation. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a reliable questionnaire
in Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin languages suitable for measuring health-related quality of life
in adults.

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.
