Abstract
Somatic disturbances that occur in parallel with psychiatric diseases are a major challenge in clinical practice. Various factors contribute to the development of mental and somatic disorders. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a significant health burden worldwide, and the prevalence of diabetes in adults is increasing. The comorbidity of diabetes and mental disorders is very common. By sharing a bidirectional link, both T2DM and mental disorders influence each other in various manners, but the exact mechanisms underlying this link are not yet elucidated. The potential mechanisms of both mental disorders and T2DM are related to immune and inflammatory system dysfunction, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and metabolic disturbances. Moreover, diabetes is also a risk factor for cognitive dysfunction that can range from subtle diabetes-associated cognitive decline to pre-dementia and dementia. A complex re-lationship between the gut and the brain also represents a new therapeutic approach since gut-brain signalling pathways regulate food intake and hepatic glucose production. The aim of this minireview is to summarize and present the latest data on mutual pathogenic pathways in these disorders, emphasizing their complexity and interweaving. We also focused on the cognitive performances and changes in neurodegenerative disorders. The importance of implementing integrated approaches in treating both of these states is highlighted, along with the need for individual therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Galectin-3 (Gal-3) has diverse roles in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. There is evidence that Gal-3 plays a role in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. While the role of Gal-3 expression in immune cells invading the pancreatic islets in the experimental model of type 1 diabetes mellitus has been already studied, the importance of the overexpression of Gal-3 in the target β cells is not defined. Therefore, we used multiple low doses of streptozotocin (MLD–STZ)–induced diabetes in C57Bl/6 mice to analyze the effect of transgenic (TG) overexpression of Gal-3 in β cells. Our results demonstrated that the overexpression of Gal-3 protected β cells from apoptosis and attenuated MLD–STZ–induced hyperglycemia, glycosuria, and ketonuria. The cellular analysis of pancreata and draining lymph nodes showed that Gal-3 overexpression significantly decreased the number of pro-inflammatory cells without affecting the presence of T-regulatory cells. As the application of exogenous interleukin 33 (IL-33) given from the beginning of MLD–STZ diabetes induction attenuates the development of disease, by increasing the presence of regulatory FoxP3+ ST2+ cells, we evaluated the potential synergistic effect of the exogenous IL-33 and TG overexpression of Gal-3 in β cells at the later stage of diabetogenesis. The addition of IL-33 potentiated the survival of β cells and attenuated diabetes even when administered later, after the onset of hyperglycemia (12–18 days), suggesting that protection from apoptosis and immunoregulation by IL-33 may attenuate type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
Aims/Hypothesis: Galectin 3 appears to play a proinflammatory role in several inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Also, there is evidence that galectin 3 plays a role in both type-1 and type-2 diabetes. During obesity, hematopoietic cell-derived galectin 3 induces insulin resistance. While the role of galectin 3 expressed in islet-invading immune cells in both type-1 and type-2 diabetes has been studied, the importance of the expression of this molecule on the target pancreatic β cells has not been defined. Methods: To clarify the role of galectin 3 expression in β cells during obesity-induced diabetogenesis, we developed transgenic mice selectively overexpressing galectin 3 in β cells and tested their susceptibility to obesity-induced type-2 diabetes. Obesity was induced with a 16-week high-fat diet regime. Pancreatic β cells were tested for susceptibility to apoptosis induced by non-esterified fatty acids and cytokines as well as parameters of oxidative stress. Results: Our results demonstrated that overexpression of galectin 3 increases β-cell apoptosis in HFD conditions and increases the percentage of proinflammatory F4/80+ macrophages in islets that express galectin 3 and TLR4. In isolated islets, we have shown that galectin 3 overexpression increases cytokine and palmitate-triggered β-cell apoptosis and also increases NO2--induced oxidative stress of β cells. Also, in pancreatic lymph nodes, macrophages were shifted toward a proinflammatory TNF-α-producing phenotype. Conclusions/Interpretation: By complementary in vivo and in vitro approaches, we have shown that galectin 3-overexpression facilitates β-cell damage, enhances cytokine and palmitate-triggered β-cell apoptosis, and increases NO2--induced oxidative stress in β cells. Further, the results suggest that increased expression of galectin 3 in the pancreatic β cells affects the metabolism of glucose and glycoregulation in mice on a high-fat diet, affecting both fasting glycemic values and glycemia after glucose loading.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease caused by the immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β-cells. Prevention of type 1 diabetes requires early intervention in the autoimmune process against beta-cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, which is believed to result from disordered immunoregulation. CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) participate as one of the most important cell types in limiting the autoimmune process. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exogenous IL-33 in multiple low dose streptozotocin (MLD-STZ) induced diabetes and to delineate its role in the induction of protective Tregs in an autoimmune attack. C57BL/6 mice were treated i. p. with five doses of 40 mg/kg STZ and 0.4 μg rIL-33 four times, starting from day 0, 6, or 12 every second day from the day of disease induction. 16 weeks old NOD mice were treated with 6 injections of 0.4 μg/mouse IL-33 (every second day). Glycemia and glycosuria were measured and histological parameters in pancreatic islets were evaluated at the end of experiments. Cellular make up of the pancreatic lymph nodes and islets were evaluated by flow cytometry. IL-33 given simultaneously with the application of STZ completely prevented the development of hyperglycemia, glycosuria and profoundly attenuated mononuclear cell infiltration. IL-33 treatment was accompanied by higher number of IL-13 and IL-5 producing CD4+ T cells and increased presence of ST2+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells in pancreatic lymph nodes and islets. Elimination of Tregs abrogated protective effect of IL-33. We provide evidence that exogenous IL-33 completely prevents the development of T cell mediated inflammation in pancreatic islets and consecutive development of diabetes in C57BL/6 mice by facilitating the induction Treg cells. To extend this finding for possible relevance in spontaneous diabetes, we showed that IL-33 attenuate insulitis in prediabetic NOD mice.

Abstract
Mutations in the PARK2 (PRKN) gene are the most common cause of autosomal-recessive (AR) juvenile parkinsonism and young-onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD). >100 different variants have been reported, including point mutations, small indels and single or multiple exon copy number variations. Mutation screening of PARK2 was performed in 225 Serbian PD patients (143 males and 82 females) with disease onset before 50 years and/or positive family history with apparent AR inheritance. All coding regions and their flanking intronic sequences were amplified and directly sequenced. Whole exon multiplications or deletions were detected using Multiple Ligation Probe Amplification (MLPA) method. We identified 12 PD patients with PARK2 mutations (5.3%). Five patients (2.2%) had biallelic mutations and seven (3.1%) were single mutation carriers. Patients with compound heterozygous mutations had earlier onset of the disease compared to non-carriers (p = 0.005) or heterozygotes (p = 0.001). Other clinical features in mutation carriers were not different compared to non-carriers. In our cohort, sequence and dosage variants were equally represented in patients, inducing their first symptoms mainly before the age of 30. For efficient genetic testing strategy, patients with early, especially juvenile onset of PD were strong candidates for both dosage and sequence variants screening of PARK2 gene.

Abstract
Angiotensin II induces inflammatory activation of vascular smooth muscle cells and can cause left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Telmisartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker with demonstrated beneficial effects on cardiac and vascular structure and function in animal models. The angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor ramipril also reduces ventricular and vascular remodelling. The open-label study observed 75 treatment-naïve, moderately or severely hypertensive (systolic blood pressure 160-190 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure 90-110 mmHg) patients (age range, 42-58 years) treated with once-daily telmisartan 40 mg force-titrated to 80 mg after 1 month (n = 25), once-daily ramipril 2.5 mg force-titrated to 5 mg after 1 month (n = 25), or once-daily telmisartan 40 mg plus ramipril 2.5 mg (n = 25); the total duration of treatment was 6 months. At baseline, blood pressure, left ventricular mass index (LVMI), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and carotid cross-sectional intima-media area (CSA) were measured. Measurements were repeated 1, 3 and 6 months after initiation of treatment. After 6 months, comparable blood pressure reductions were achieved with the three treatments. Reductions in LVMI after 6 months' treatment were 11.4%, 9.9% and 15.6% with telmisartan, ramipril, and telmisartan plus ramipril, respectively. Respective reductions in IMT were 14.6%, 12.0% and 18.2%, and for CSA were 7.8%, 4.3% and 11.5%. In conclusion, treatment with telmisartan or ramipril for 6 months resulted in regression of LVH and vascular remodelling. When a combination of telmisartan and ramipril was administered, additional regression and remodelling occurred.

Abstract
AbstractThe use of medications that improve the physical performance of an individual represents a very serious worldwide health problem. The abuse of these medications is increasing. Herein, we describe a patient, at the age of 20, who was hospitalized due to loss of consciousness and difficulty breathing. At admission, the patient was unconsciousness, tahi-dyspnoic, and had a pale complexion and an athletic build. In gas analyses, extremely low saturation was observed, followed by acidosis, heavy hypoxia with normocapnia, higher lactates, hypocalcaemia and severe hypoglycaemia. The patient was treated with a hypertonic solution of glucose and intubated, with the aspiration of sanious content from the respiratory tract. After treatment, the patient woke from coma but was very confused. In the first 6 hours of hospitalization, severe hypoglycaemia occurred several times, despite the continuous administration of glucose. Due to the growth of inflammatory syndrome since the first day of hospitalization, the patient was kept in the hospital for treatment along with the administration of antibiotic treatment. On the fourth day of hospitalization, the patient stated that for the last year, he had been taking testosterone at a dose of 1 g a week, as well as tamoxifen pills and 15 i.j. of fast-acting human insulin (Actrapid®) daily for their combined anabolic effect. Hypoglycaemic coma, caused by the abuse of insulin, represents a severe complication in patients, which can be followed by confusion, a slowed thinking process, the weakening of cognitive functions and even death. It is necessary to invest great efforts into the prevention of the purchase of these medications via the Internet or on the black market for purposes of abuse in order to prevent such serious and life-threatening complications.

Abstract
Claudin-low tumors are a highly aggressive breast cancer subtype with no targeted treatments and a clinically documented resistance to chemotherapy. They are significantly enriched in cancer stem cells (CSCs), which makes claudin-low tumor models particularly attractive for studying CSC behavior and developing novel approaches to minimize CSC therapy resistance. One proposed mechanism by which CSCs arise is via an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and reversal of this process may provide a potential therapeutic approach for increasing tumor chemosensitivity. Therefore, we investigated the role of known EMT regulators, miR-200 family of microRNAs in controlling the epithelial state, stem-like properties, and therapeutic response in an in vivo primary, syngeneic p53null claudin-low tumor model that is normally deficient in miR-200 expression. Using an inducible lentiviral approach, we expressed the miR-200c cluster in this model and found that it changed the epithelial state, and consequently, impeded CSC behavior in these mesenchymal tumors. Moreover, these state changes were accompanied by a decrease in proliferation and an increase in the differentiation status. miR-200c expression also forced a significant reorganization of tumor architecture, affecting important cellular processes involved in cell-cell contact, cell adhesion, and motility. Accordingly, induced miR200c expression significantly enhanced the chemosensitivity and decreased the metastatic potential of this p53null claudin-low tumor model. Collectively, our data suggest that miR-200c expression in claudin-low tumors offers a potential therapeutic application to disrupt the EMT program on multiple fronts in this mesenchymal tumor subtype, by altering tumor growth, chemosensitivity, and metastatic potential in vivo.

Abstract
Aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of morphological liver and spleen abnormalities in patients with neurological clinical presentation of Wilson's disease (WD). Fourteen patients with neurological presentation of WD divided into group A (5 patients who initiated chelating therapy <24 months from the first symptoms) and group B (9 patients whose therapy started ≥24 months after the initial symptoms) underwent abdominal MRI examination. Abnormal findings on abdominal MRI were present in 28% of patients with neurological form of WD. Significant hepatosplenomegaly was present in none of the patients from group A and in 4 (44%) patients from group B. In addition, macronodular liver cirrhosis and peritoneal effusion were evident in two and one patient from group B, respectively, and in none of the patients from group A. Our results suggest that severe portal hypertension and liver damage in patients with neurological presentation of WD might be reversible or do not even develop if chelating treatment is initiated <2 years after the onset of symptoms.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction Translational breast cancer research is hampered severely by difficulties in obtaining and studying primary human breast tissue, and by the lack of in vivo preclinical models that accurately reflect patient tumor biology. These limitations are due, in part, to the fact that traditional immunocompromised mouse models are not generally permissive for growth. We sought to circumvent some of these limitations by transplanting and growing human mammary tumors in the mammary fat pad of SCID/Beige immunocompromised mice in the absence of exogenous human fibroblasts.
Aims and Methods To establish a set of stable human breast cancer xenografts for preclinical studies. Human breast cancer biopsies were received, minced into small fragments and then transplanted directly into “cleared” fat pads of recipient SCID/Beige immunocompromised mice. Transplanted fat pads were checked weekly. After initial tumor was palpated and harvested, tumor fragments were transplanted into new SCID/Beige hosts for subsequent transplant generations. Serial immunohistochemical evaluations were performed to confirm human origin and biomarker status. Analytical flow cytometry for evaluating expression of proposed “cancer stem cell” markers, and gene and protein expression analysis were carried out on all stable lines.
Results and Conclusions Xenograft lines were established directly from breast cancer patient samples, without intervening culture in vitro, using the epithelium-free mammary fat pad as the transplantation site. Of the conditions tested, xenograft take rate was highest in the presence of a low-dose estradiol pellet without exogenous human fibroblasts. Thirty six stably transplantable xenograft lines representing 27 patients were established, using pre-treatment, mid-treatment, and/or post-treatment samples. Most patients yielding xenografts were “triple-negative” (ER-PR-HER2−) (n=21), we were able to establish lines from three ER-PR-HER2+ patients, one ER+PR+HER2−, one ER+PR-HER2−and one “triple-positive” (ER+PR+HER2+) patients. Serially passaged xenografts show phenotypic consistency with the tumor of origin at the histopathology level, and remarkable stability across multiple transplant generations at both the genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic levels. Of 27 lines evaluated fully, thirteen xenografts showed metastasis to the mouse lung. These models thus serve as a renewable, quality-controlled tissue resource, and should prove useful for preclinical evaluation of experimental therapeutics.

Abstract
Possibly, acute esophagitis and pancreatitis cause each other, and we focused on sphincteric failure as the common causative key able to induce either esophagitis and acute pancreatitis or both of them, and thereby investigate the presence of a common therapy nominator. This may be an anti-ulcer pentadecapeptide BPC 157 (tested for inflammatory bowel disease, wound treatment) affecting esophagitis, lower esophageal and pyloric sphincters failure and acute pancreatitis (10 μg/kg, 10 ng/kg intraperitoneally or in drinking water). The esophagitis-sphincter failure procedure (i.e., insertion of the tubes into the sphincters, lower esophageal and pyloric) and acute pancreatitis procedure (i.e., bile duct ligation) were combined in rats. Esophageal manometry was done in acute pancreatitis patients. In rats acute pancreatitis procedure produced also esophagitis and both sphincter failure, decreased pressure 24 h post-surgery. Furthermore, bile duct ligation alone immediately declines the pressure in both sphincters. Vice versa, the esophagitis-sphincter failure procedure alone produced acute pancreatitis. What's more, these lesions (esophagitis, sphincter failure, acute pancreatitis when combined) aggravate each other (tubes into sphincters and ligated bile duct). Counteraction occurred by BPC 157 therapies. In acute pancreatitis patients lower pressure at rest was in both esophageal sphincters in acute pancreatitis patients. We conclude that BPC 157 could cure esophagitis/sphincter/acute pancreatitis healing failure.

Spencer C, Petrovic I, Fatemi S. Current thyroglobulin autoantibody (TgAb) assays often fail to detect interfering TgAb that can result in the reporting of falsely low/undetectable serum Tg IMA values for patients with differentiated thyroid cancer.

Abstract
CONTEXT Specimens have thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) measured prior to thyroglobulin (Tg) testing because the qualitative TgAb status (positive or negative) determines risk for Tg assay interference, and the quantitative TgAb concentration serves as a surrogate tumor marker for differentiated thyroid cancer. OBJECTIVE This study assessed the reliability of four TgAb methods to detect interfering TgAb [as judged from abnormally low Tg immunometric assay (IMA) to Tg RIA ratios] and determine whether between-method conversion factors might prevent a change in method from disrupting TgAb monitoring. METHODS Sera from selected and unselected TgAb-negative and TgAb-positive differentiated thyroid cancer patients had serum Tg measured by both IMA and RIA and TgAb measured by a reference method and three additional methods. RESULTS The Tg IMA and Tg RIA values were concordant when TgAb was absent. Tg IMA to Tg RIA ratios below 75% were considered to indicate TgAb interference. Manufacturer-recommended cutoffs were set in the detectable range, and when used to determine the presence of TgAb misclassified many specimens displaying Tg interference as TgAb negative. False-negative misclassifications were virtually eliminated for two of four methods by using the analytical sensitivity (AS) as the detection limit for TgAb. Relationships between values for different specimens were too variable to establish between-method conversion factors. CONCLUSIONS Many specimens with interfering TgAb were misclassified as TgAb negative using manufacturer-recommended cutoffs. It is recommended that assay AS limits be used to detect TgAb to minimize false-negative misclassifications. However, for two of four assays, AS limits failed to detect interfering TgAb in 20-30% of cases. TgAb methods were too qualitatively and quantitatively variable to establish conversion factors that would allow a change in method without disrupting serial TgAb monitoring.

Abstract
Freezing of gait (FOG) can be assessed by clinical and instrumental methods. Clinical examination has the advantage of being available to most clinicians; however, it requires experience and may not reveal FOG even for cases confirmed by the medical history. Instrumental methods have an advantage in that they may be used for ambulatory monitoring. The aim of the present study was to describe and evaluate a new instrumental method based on a force sensitive resistor and Pearson's correlation coefficient (Pcc) for the assessment of FOG. Nine patients with Parkinson's disease in the "on" state walked through a corridor, passed through a doorway and made a U-turn. We analyzed 24 FOG episodes by computing the Pcc between one "regular/normal" step and the rest of the steps. The Pcc reached ±1 for "normal" locomotion, while correlation diminished due to the lack of periodicity during FOG episodes. Gait was assessed in parallel with video. FOG episodes determined from the video were all detected with the proposed method. The computed duration of the FOG episodes was compared with those estimated from the video. The method was sensitive to various types of freezing; although no differences due to different types of freezing were detected. The study showed that Pcc analysis permitted the computerized detection of FOG in a simple manner analogous to human visual judgment, and its automation may be useful in clinical practice to provide a record of the history of FOG.

Abstract
Punding is a stereotyped behavior characterized by an intense fascination with a complex, excessive, nongoal oriented, repetitive activity. Men tend to repetitively tinker with technical equipment such as radio sets, clocks, watches and car engines, the parts of which may be analyzed, arranged, sorted and cataloged but rarely put back together. Women, in contrast, incessantly sort through their handbags, tidy continuously, brush their hair or polish their nails. Punders are normally aware of the inapposite and obtuse nature of the behavior; however, despite the consequent self-injury, they do not stop such behavior. The most common causes of punding are dopaminergic replacement therapy in patients affected by Parkinson's disease (PD) and cocaine and amphetamine use in addicts. The vast majority of information about punding comes from PD cases. A critical review of these cases shows that almost all afflicted patients (90%) were on treatment with drugs acting mainly on dopamine receptors D1 and D2, whereas only three cases were reported in association with selective D2 and D3 agonists. Epidemiological considerations and available data from animal models suggest that punding, drug-induced stereotypies, addiction and dyskinesias all share a common pathophysiological process. Punding may be related to plastic changes in the ventral and dorsal striatal structures, including the nucleus accumbens, and linked to psychomotor stimulation and reward mechanisms. Possible management guidelines are proposed.

Abstract
Long-term follow-up abdominal imaging studies have not been reported previously in patients with the hepatic form of Wilson's disease (WD). This paper reports the case of a 35-year-old woman with symptoms dating back several months and with multiple, nodular liver lesions. The lesions were hyperdense on non-enhanced computed tomography and hypointense on T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images. A diagnosis of WD was established several weeks after her admission to hospital, and chelating treatment was commenced promptly. No abnormalities were found on follow-up MR examinations of the abdomen and brain 4.5 years later. These imaging features suggest that so long as WD is diagnosed in the initial stages, liver nodules can regress with time and complete healing can be achieved with continuous decoppering treatment.

Abstract
AIMS Galectin-3 is a beta-galactoside binding protein, recently recognized as a promising molecular marker of thyroid malignancy. As reported in several studies, galectin-3 is highly expressed in papillary thyroid carcinoma, but its expression has not been investigated in papillary microcarcinoma, which is a variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma. METHODS AND RESULTS Using a monoclonal antibody to galectin-3 and the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) immunohistochemical technique, we analysed galectin-3 expression in 63 cases of papillary microcarcinoma. The results showed immunohistochemical reactivity for galectin-3 in 51 (80.9%) cases. Intensity of staining varied from strong or moderate to weak. Galectin-3 localization was mostly cytoplasmic, but also membranous or nuclear in some cells. Immunohistochemical expression of galectin-3 was not found in 12 (19.1%) cases. Most galectin-3 negative microcarcinomas (10/12) were of the non-classical type, i.e. without papillary architecture. Neither the frequency nor the intensity of a positive reaction was related to tumour size. CONCLUSIONS Galectin-3 gene is expressed at the protein level in most papillary microcarcinomas, although with slightly lower frequency than that reported for clinically evident papillary thyroid carcinoma. The presence of galectin-3 in clinically silent microcarcinomas may indicate that galectin-3 is not related to growth or aggressiveness of papillary thyroid microcarcinomas but rather plays some other role in thyroid tumour biology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM To examine the relationship between galectin-3 and cell proliferation in thyroid tumor tissue. Galectin-3, a beta-galactoside binding protein, has recently been recognized as a promising molecular marker of thyroid malignancy, due to its high expression in thyroid carcinomas and absence from normal or benign thyroid tissue. However, its exact role in thyroid tumor biology is still unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS We examined the relationship between galectin-3 and cell proliferation by comparative immunostaining for galectin-3 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in paraffin-embedded tissues from 126 cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma. RESULTS Positive cytoplasmic immunostaining for galectin-3 was found in 115 (91.3%) cases. Nuclear staining for PCNA was detectable in 93 (74.4%) cases. A low level of PCNA staining (less than 10% positive cells) was found in 36 (28.6%) cases, moderate staining for PCNA (more than 10% but less than 30% positive cells) in 35 cases (27.8%), while highly increased PCNA expression (more than 30% positive cells) was found in 32 (25.4%) cases. Moderate or strong galectin-3 expression, found in 99 cases, was associated with highly increased PCNA staining in 28.3% of them but with no detectable PCNA expression in 24.3% of them. CONCLUSION These results suggest that overexpression of galectin-3 is not clearly related to proliferative activity of papillary thyroid carcinoma cells as assessed by PCNA immunostaining.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clavicular pseudoarthrosis is a rare condition, the management of which should not be underestimated because it requires re-operations and causes serious morbidity or even a lifelong handicap. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed a series of 13 patients with non-union of a clavicular fracture who underwent a surgical treatment from the year 1993 to 2002. Twelve fractures were a result of trauma and one was a result of osteomyelitis. Twelve non-unions were located in the middle third of the clavicle, while only one was in the lateral third. Seven non-unions were atrophic and six were hypertrophic. The average age of patients was 33 years (range: 14-52 years). Average post-operative follow-up time was 4.7 years (range: 1-11 years). In the study, we used intramedullar osteosynthesis such as Kirschner wire, different kinds of plates and screws, followed by autogeneous or heterogeneous bone grafting. Constant scoring system was used to evaluate mobility and strength of the upper extremity. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION A single operation was adequate in seven cases; two operations were adequate in four cases and three operations were adequate in one case. Fractures healed properly in 11 cases, but in some cases mild-to-moderate symptoms still persisted post-operatively. The results of 13 patients who underwent various surgical procedures show that a reconstruction plate should be the first choice of osteosynthesis, followed by a dynamic-compression plate, and a semitubular plate should be the last choice. To conclude, with this kind of treatment of clavicular pseudoarthrosis, we achieved a high degree of patient satisfaction, as well as objective improvements in status reports.

Abstract
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 8 (SCA8) is a slowly progressive ataxia causally associated with untranslated CTG repeat expansion on chromosome 13q21. However, the role of the CTG repeat in SCA8 pathology is not yet well understood. Therefore, we studied the length of the SCA8 CTA/CTG expansions (combined repeats, CRs) in 115 patients with ataxia, 64 unrelated individuals with non-triplet neuromuscular diseases, 70 unrelated patients with schizophrenia, and 125 healthy controls. Only one patient with apparently sporadic ataxia was identified with an expansion of 100 CRs. He had inherited the expansion from his asymptomatic father (140 CRs) and transmitted the mutation to his son (92 CRs). Paternal transmission in this family produced contractions of 40 and 8 CRs, respectively. None of the subjects from other studied groups had an expansion at the SCA8 locus. In the control group the number of CRs at the SCA8 locus ranged from 14 to 34. Our findings support the notion that allelic variants of the expansion mutation at the SCA8 locus can predispose to ataxia.

Abstract
The aim of this work is the in vitro study of the late effects of single proton irradiation on HTB63 human melanoma cell growth, cell cycle and cell death. The experimental conditions were focused on analyzing the effects of irradiation on the periphery of tumour that can be, in clinical practice, close to critical organs. Confluent cell monolayers were irradiated with single doses ranging from 1 - 20 Gy, using proton beams having an energy of 22.6 MeV at the target. Antiproliferative effect of protons, cell cycle analysis and initiation of cell death, were followed 48 hours after irradiation. The inhibition of melanoma cell growth was observed, especially after single application of 12 and 16 Gy. Cell cycle analysis and cell viability have shown the G2/M and G1/G0 arrest of irradiated cells correlating with the increase of the applied dose. The flow cytometric analysis has shown presence of apoptotic nuclei. These data demonstrate that irradiation with protons, under the chosen experimental conditions, have significant effects on melanoma cell growth inhibition being dose dependent, G2/M cell cycle arrest and appearance of apoptotic nuclei, even 48 hours after irradiation. The results obtained may help the understanding of the relationship between cell proliferation, death and cell cycle regulation of melanomas after proton irradiation.
