Abstract
Sarcoidosis (SAR) is a systemic granulomatous inflammatory disease characterized by recruitment and activation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to the sites of disease. Neovascularisation is a principal vascular response in chronic inflammation and hypoxia. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of sera from sarcoidosis patients on angiogenic capability of different subsets of normal peripheral human mononuclear cells (MNC) in relation to IL-6 and IL-8 serum levels, to radiological stages of disease and to the presence of extrapulmonary changes. Serum samples obtained from 42 sarcoidosis patients were examined. There were 12 patients in stage I, 16 patients in stage II, and 14 in stage III. In order to quantify angiogenesis, a leukocyte-induced angiogenesis assay was performed by a method of Sidky and Auerbach. MNC were depleted in monocytes by glass adherence and phagocytosis of iron particles techniques. IL-6 and IL-8 in sera from sarcoidosis patients were evaluated by an ELISA-based assay. Sera from sarcoidosis patients enhanced angiogenic capability of normal MNC significantly stronger than sera from healthy donors (P<0.001). Angiogenic activity of sera in sarcoidosis depended on the stage of disease and appeared most pronounced in stage II (P<0.05). Sera from patients with extrapulmonary changes exerted stronger effect on angiogenesis than sera from patients with thoracic changes only (P<0.001). IL-6 and IL-8 serum level correlated with each other, but no correlation was found between IL-6 and IL-8 serum level and angiogenic activity of the examined sera. Removal of monocytes from MNC eliminated the effect of sera from sarcoidosis patients on angiogenesis compared with the effect of these sera on intact MNC (P<0.001). Sera from sarcoidosis patients and from healthy people constitute a source of mediators participating in angiogenesis. Sera from sarcoidosis patients prime monocytes for production of proangiogenic factors.

Abstract
The retrospective analysis includes a group of 50 patients with primary, invasive vaginal cancer treated with brachytherapy in the period of 1982-1993. Over 80% cases were squamous cell carcinoma. There were 14 patients in stage I according to FIGO classification and 20%, 36%, and 16% of patients in stage II, III and IV, respectively. Twenty one patients (42%) received MDR brachytherapy using Cs137 source, the remaining 29 (58%) were treated with HDR using Co60 or Ir192 sources. Among 50 patients 31 (62%) received also external beam irradiation. An overall 5-year actuarial disease-free survival was 40%, and it was 78.6% (11/14), 40% (4/10), 27.8% (5/18), 0% (0/8) for stage I, II, III and IV, respectively. For MDR or HDR5-year disease-free survival was 38% and 41%, respectively. No influence of dose rate on survival has been found (p=0.7). Local failure occurred in 20 patients (40%). Recurrences appeared in 10 patients (20%). Late complications rate was 0% and 17% for MDR and HDR, respectively. Effectiveness of brachytherapy MDR and HDR was similar, whereas serious late complications developed more often after HDR brachytherapy.

Abstract
Between October 1998-August 2000, 65 patients were diagnosed, and underwent stereotactic biopsy of brain lesions. Procedures were performed with the Riechert-Mundinger stereotactic device. The diagnosis was made intra-operatively, by examination of cytological smears. The initial diagnosis was confirmed after H&E, and selective stains, as well as immunohistochemical examinations of paraffin specimens. The method applied makes possible to obtain a reliable, and precise morphological diagnosis in the majority of cases, so that a proper treatment method could be introduced.

Abstract
General effectiveness and influence of previous treatment on value of palliative HDR brachytherapy were assessed in 35 patients with advanced esophageal cancer treated from 1992 till 1997 with brachytherapy HDR (BT). Twelve of them were treated only with BT, II received previously chemoradiotherapy (CHTT), 12 teleradiotherapy (TT). BT appeared to be effective method of palliation. No significant differences in effectiveness of BT in analyzed groups were observed. Sever complications were observed in 9 cases (26%), and that in patients treated previously. Brachytherapy seems to be efficient after previous treatment, however, in this case, the risk of complications increases.

Abstract
Radiographic, mineralogic and histomorphometric investigations of the distal radial metaphyses were performed in a group of 57 men who sustained sudden death. The radiographic image of bone structure was assessed by nude eye and with computerized analyses of the microdensitometric curves. Mineral in bone specimens content was estimated by Dulce method. Trabecular mineralized bone area (Vmin), osteoid area (Vos) and trabecular width (dt) were measured on undecalcified sections. Decrease of bone mineral content and Vmin were noted with the age of those investigated. This process affected the radiographic image of bone structure. The radiographic picture of bone structure depends mostly on the mineral content and to a smaller extent on histomorphometric parameters. Microdensitometric measurements make objective assessment of bone structure on the radiograph possible.

Abstract
In 18 patients with chronic renal failure the parathormone (PTH), calcitonin (CT) and 25-OH-D blood levels were estimated before and after an intravenous calcium load. In ten patients the above mentioned biochemical parametres were confronted with histological findings obtained in bone biopsy material. Significantly elevated levels of PTH and CT were found while those of 25-OH-D were normal. Serum PTH decreased after a calcium load. In contrast to healthy persons no increase of serum CT was stated. Significant positive correlations were found between PTH and CT levels in blood serum as well as between the mineralized bone volume and 25-OH-D levels in serum. In addition a significant negative correlation was stated between the osteoid volume and 25-OH-D levels in blood serum. From the results obtained it is concluded, that from estimations of PTH, CT and 25-OH-D in blood serum histological alterations in bone biopsy material from chronic uremic patients can not be predicted. Beside secondary hyperparathyreoidism, relative deficiency of CT and active vitamin D metabolites other factors are also involved in the pathogenesis of renal osteodystrophy.
