Abstract
Abstract
Patients who have clinical evidence of hypertension (HT) after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS) have a poor prognosis in expression of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), as one of the MACE. Unrelieved anxiety can produce an increase in sympathetic nervous system activity leading to an increase in cardiac workload. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of music therapy on prognosis of patients with HT and AMI, after CABS.
Methods
314 patients (males 78.4%, mean age 59.8±1.2 yrs) with AMI after previous CABS have been selected from the patients consecutively submitted from January 2003 to January 2019. HT was registered in 166 (53.0%) pts with AMI after previous CABS. All patients with HT were randomized and divided in 2 groups: Study group of 83 patients treated with music therapy and Control group of 83 patients with no music therapy. Each patient in study group underwent two sessions of medical therapy (12 minutes) in a day. Both groups were similar in baselines, post-AMI characteristics and post-AMI medical therapy. The plasma cytokine and catecholamine were measured in both groups.
Results
In the Study group, heart rate was significantly decreased by music therapy (p=0.0196). In the Control group, there were no significant changes in heart rate. Among cytokines (p=0.0160), plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) (p=0.0179) in the Study group was significantly lower than those in the Control group, as well as plasma adrenaline (p=0.0162) and noradrenalin (p=0.0218) levels.
Conclusion
This study provides support for the use of musical therapy in patients with HT and AMI after previous CABS. The positive effects of music therapy, in these patients, are probably because of enhanced of parasympathetic activities and reduction of plasma cytokine and catecholamine levels.

Abstract
Background:
The present survey aims to describe the intensive cardiac care unit organization and admission policies in Europe.
Methods:
A total of 228 hospitals (61% academic) from 27 countries participated in this survey. In addition to the organizational aspects of the intensive cardiac care units, including classification of the intensive cardiac care unit levels, data on the admission diagnoses were gathered from consecutive patients who were admitted during a two-day period. Admission policies were evaluated by comparing illness severity with the intensive cardiac care unit level. Gross national income was used to differentiate high-income countries (n=13) from middle-income countries (n=14).
Results:
A total of 98% of the hospitals had an intensive cardiac care unit: 70% had a level 1 intensive cardiac care unit, 76% had a level 2 intensive cardiac care unit, 51% had a level 3 intensive cardiac care unit, and 60% of the hospitals had more than one intensive cardiac care unit level. High-income countries tended to have more level 3 intensive cardiac care units than middle-income countries (55% versus 41%, p=0.07). A total of 5159 admissions were scored on illness severity: 63% were low severity, 24% were intermediate severity, and 12% were high severity. Patients with low illness severity were predominantly admitted to level 1 intensive cardiac care units, whereas patients with high illness severity were predominantly admitted to level 2 and 3 intensive cardiac care units. A policy mismatch was observed in 12% of the patients; some patients with high illness severity were admitted to level 1 intensive cardiac care units, which occurred more often in middle-income countries, whereas some patients with low illness severity were admitted to level 3 intensive cardiac care units, which occurred more frequently in high-income countries.
Conclusion:
More than one-third of the admitted patients were considered intermediate or high risk. Although patients with higher illness severity were mostly admitted to high-level intensive cardiac care units, an admission policy mismatch was observed in 12% of the patients; this mismatch was partly related to insufficient logistic intensive cardiac care unit capacity.

Abstract
Cellulases are industrially important enzymes with a potential to convert
cellulose into fermentable sugars. Novel bacterial isolate Paenibacillus sp.
CKS1 was tested for cellulase activity and the optimal conditions for
carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) production were determined. Maximum CMCase
activity was obtained in the third passage of the bacterial culture after 3
days of incubation at 30?C. Cellobiose and yeast extract was the optimal
source of carbon and nitrogen for induction of CMCase activity. In addition,
with initial pH 7 of the medium and 40 ml of working volume in 500 ml culture
flasks with shaking at 150 rpm, the maximum CMCase activity in a crude
culture supernatant reached value of 0.532?0.006 U/ml. For crude CMCase,
optimal temperature was 50?C and optimal pH 4.8, respectively. HPLC analysis
confirmed the bacterium is capable to hydrolise CMC to glucose and other
soluble sugars.

Abstract
Development of high-yielding wheat varieties with good end-use quality has always been a major concern for wheat breeders. To genetically dissect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for yield-related traits such as grain yield, plant height, maturity, lodging, test weight and thousand-grain weight, and for quality traits such as grain and flour protein content, gluten strength as evaluated by mixograph and SDS sedimentation volume, an F1-derived doubled haploid (DH) population of 185 individuals was developed from a cross between a Canadian wheat variety "AC Karma" and a breeding line 87E03-S2B1. A genetic map was constructed based on 167 marker loci, consisting of 160 microsatellite loci, three HMW glutenin subunit loci: Glu-A1, Glu-B1 and Glu-D1, and four STS-PCR markers. Data for investigated traits were collected from three to four environments in Manitoba, Canada. QTL analyses were performed using composite interval mapping. A total of 50 QTLs were detected, 24 for agronomic traits and 26 for quality-related traits. Many QTLs for correlated traits were mapped in the same genomic regions forming QTL clusters. The largest QTL clusters, consisting of up to nine QTLs, were found on chromosomes 1D and 4D. HMW glutenin subunits at Glu-1 loci had the largest effect on breadmaking quality; however, other genomic regions also contributed genetically to breadmaking quality. QTLs detected in the present study are compared with other QTL analyses in wheat.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The aim of this study is to show the changes in left ventricular morphology and function after reductive annuloplasty of double mitral and tricuspid orifices (RADO) in ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) and primary dilated cardiomyopathy (PDCM) analyzed by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). METHODS There were 274 patients, mean age 50.1 years, 188 operated due to IDCM with ejection fraction under 30%, and 86 patients due to PDCM. Mitral annuloplasty according to A. Carpentier and our own procedure was done in 49 and 225 patients, respectively. In 265 cases (97%) our modified De Vega's tricuspid annuloplasty was performed. RESULTS CONCLUSION RADO significantly changes left ventricular morphology, reverses remodeling of the heart, decreases sphericity of the left heart, improves hemodynamic function of both ventricles, and slows down progression of cardiac failure. We recommend RADO in the early stage of PDCM, immediately after the first decompensation, and as an important associated procedure in IDCM.

Abstract
Tu evaluate the usefulness of the laparoscopic approach as the standard procedure in the surgical treatment of achalasia. Among different competing options of the treatment of esophageal achalasia, extramucosal myotomy of the lower esophageal sphincter--usually combined with anterior fundoplasty--is the most effective but also the most invasive approach. Minimally invasive performance of this operation reduces invasivity and should make the operative treatment a more attractive alternative to other procedures, such as pneumatic dilatation or botox injection. From 1991 till 1997, 27 patients underwent laparoscopic Heller Dor operation (16 males, 11 females, mean age 37 years). Diagnosis was established in all of them by an esophagogram and esophageal manometry. The main symptom was dysphagia in all of the patients. No mortality was observed in this series. There were no conversions to laparotomy. The single intraoperative complication was one case of iatrogenic mucosal laceration. Post operative complications were found in one case of wound infection, and two cases of pneumomedistinum. After a mean follow-up of 33 months (3-77), all patients are without dysphagia and without pathological gastroesophageal reflux. The mean value of residual LES pressure could be reduced from 21 +/- 6.4 mmHg to 7.44 +/- 2.7 mmHg. Laparoscopic cardiomyotomy is at lesat as safe, in terms of morbidity and mortality, as open surgery and similarily effective in alleviating dysphagia. Short hospitalisation and convalascent periods have provided an attractive alternative to repeated dilations for many patients.

Abstract
We have identified a family of six hexose transporter genes (Ght1 to Ght6) in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Sequence homology to Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mammalian hexose transporters (Hxtp and GLUTp, respectively) and secondary-structure predictions of 12 transmembrane domains for each of the Ght proteins place them into the sugar porter subfamily within the major facilitator superfamily. Interestingly, among this sugar porter family, the emerging S. pombe hexose transporter family clusters are separate from monosaccharide transporters of other yeasts (S. cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces lactis, and Candida albicans) and of humans, suggesting that these proteins form a distinct structural family of hexose transporters. Expression of the Ght1, Ght2, Ght5, and Ght6 genes in the S. cerevisiae mutant RE700A may functionally complement its D-glucose uptake-deficient phenotype. Northern blot analysis and reverse transcription-PCR showed that among all Ght's of S. pombe, Ght5 is the most prominently expressed hexose transporter. Ght1p, Ght2p, and Ght5p displayed significantly higher specificities for D-glucose than for D-fructose. Analysis of the previously described S. pombe D-glucose transport-deficient mutant YGS-5 revealed that this strain is defective in the Ght1, Ght5, and Ght6 genes. Based on an analysis of three S. pombe strains bearing single or double mutations in Ght3 and Ght4, we conclude that the Ght3p function is required for D-gluconate transport in S. pombe. The function of Ght4p remains to be clarified. Ght6p exhibited a slightly higher affinity to D-fructose than to D-glucose, and among the Ght's it is the transporter with the highest specificity for D-fructose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The number of involved lymph nodes is a relevant prognostic parameter which determines the duration of survival in patients with colonic and rectal adenocarcinoma. The purpose of this study was to establish a correlation between the macroscopic (size and consistency) and microscopic characteristics of the regional lymph nodes (type of involvement in tumor tissue, state of the capsule, adherence of the lymph nodes, etc.) in patients with colorectal carcinoma. METHODOLOGY In this prospective study, 46 patients with rectal and sigmoid adenocarcinoma were studied through randomized selection. From the resected specimens, a total of 736 lymph nodes were identified (average 15.66 per patient), with the precise location determined according to Enker and Philiphsken. The macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of each lymph node were identified. These lymph node findings were then distributed by means of the x2 test, while the interrelationship of lymph node characteristics was determined by factor analysis. RESULTS Within the group of "small" lymph nodes, 17.18% were malignant. Additionally, of all the malignant lymph nodes, 46.23% were less than 5 mm in diameter. Although the malignant lymph nodes were predominantly diffusely involved within the tumor tissue, 19.50% were focally involved within the tumor tissue, of which 48.38% were "small" lymph nodes, which are commonly non-palpable. Perforation of the capsule and adherence were more characteristic for focally mutated than for diffusely mutated lymph nodes in the cases of malignantly mutated lymph nodes. CONCLUSION Size and consistency of the lymph nodes are not dependable parameters for appraisal of lymph node involvement in tumor tissue, the state of the lymph node capsule, nor the interrelation among the lymph nodes. As in the case of the primary tumor, local tumor aggression in the lymph nodes is conditioned by the grade of differentiation, i.e. histologic immaturity, rather than by tumor size.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The aim of this study was to establish whether, and to what extent, pre- and intraoperatively detected characteristics (demographic, anamnestic and laboratory data) and tumor characteristics can be used in the assessment of regional lymph node involvement in patients with colorectal carcinoma. The assessment also included the number of lymph nodes involved in patients with positive lymph nodes. Considering that the number of obtained lymph nodes widely varies in resected specimens, assessment parameters also included the percentage of the involved lymph nodes within the total population of lymph nodes. METHODOLOGY From 1992-1993, 46 patients with carcinoma of the rectum and sigmoid colon were studied, with a total number of 736 lymph nodes evaluated. Out of the total number of lymph nodes, 577 (78.4%) were benign and 159 (21.6%), malignant. Data were analyzed by multi-variant statistical methods, namely: discriminant analysis and multiple regression with the aid of SPSS/PC+ software. RESULTS For this patient group, we evaluated the following potentially predictive factors for lymph node involvement: age; serum hemoglobin, albumin and alkaline phosphatase levels; weight loss; and the primary tumor localization characteristics: histologic type, macroscopic growth pattern and depth of tumor invasion of the bowel wall. We found that there was no difference in the prediction of regional lymph node involvement between analysis of the aforementioned parameters and analysis of the isolated discriminators only. CONCLUSION A predictability likelihood of 83.78% greatly surpasses the acceptable error tolerance level of 5%. Correlation of demographic, anamnestic and laboratory data about the patient and the characteristics of the primary tumor cannot be used in distinguishing malignant lymph nodes from benign ones. These data cannot be the basis for exact intraoperative staging and thus cannot be significant criteria for decision-making about operative treatment modalities.

Abstract
A patient in whom idiopathic amyloidosis of aortocoronary saphenous vein grafts was found at autopsy two years after myocardial revascularization due to coronary atherosclerosis is reported. Idiopathic generalized immunocyte derived amyloidosis extensively studied at autopsy was obviously present at the time of surgery although it remained unnoticed macroscopically in the inserted graft. It appears that simultaneously with arterialization further deposition and also significant redistribution of amyloid within the walls of the vein grafts additionally took place after their insertion. It seems interesting that in spite of the amyloidosis the grafts functioned well and were found patent two years after surgery.
