Abstract
Current data suggest that aristolochic acid (AA) exposure is a putative cause of Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN), a chronic kidney disease strongly associated with upper tract urothelial carcinoma. The cellular metabolism of AA is associated with the production of reactive oxygen species, resulting in oxidative distress. Purpose: Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze individual, combined and cumulative effect of antioxidant gene polymorphisms (Nrf2 rs6721961, KEAP1 rs1048290, GSTP1AB rs1695, GSTP1CD rs1138272, GPX3 rs8177412 and MDR1 rs1045642), as well as GSTP1ABCD haplotypes with the risk for BEN development and associated urothelial cell carcinoma in 209 BEN patients and 140 controls from endemic areas. Experimental method: Genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR with confronting two-pair primers (PCR-CTTP) methods. Results: We found that female patients carrying both variant GPX3 rs8177412 and MDR1 rs1045642 genotypes in combination exhibited significant risk towards BEN (OR 1 = 3.34, 95% CI = 1.16-9.60, p = 0.025; OR 2 = 3.79, 95% CI = 1.27-11.24, p = 0.016). Moreover, significant association was determined between GPX3rs8174412 polymorphism and risk for urothelial carcinoma. Carriers of variant GPX3*TC + CC genotype were at eight-fold increased risk of BEN-associated urothelial tumors development. There was no individual or combined impact on BEN development and BEN-associated tumors among all examined polymorphisms. The haplotype consisting of variant alleles for both polymorphisms G and T was associated with 1.6-fold increased risk although statistically insignificant (OR = 1.64; 95% CI = 0.75-3.58; p = 0.21). Conclusions: Regarding GPX3 rs8177412 polymorphism, the gene variant that confers lower expression is associated with significant increase in upper urothelial carcinoma risk. Therefore, BEN patients carrying variant GPX3 genotype should be more frequently monitored for possible upper tract urothelial carcinoma development.

Abstract
A total of 91 isolates of Fusarium avenaceum were regrouped into 15 phenotypes and 10 vegetative compatibility groups showing specific one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (1-D SDS–PAGE) protein profiles and less-specific internal transcribed spacer rDNA profiles. Each isolate possessed reproducible signature protein bands. Indeed, the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic averages clustering revealed that the protein profile of each group of isolates correlated with fungus virulence. The use of SDS–PAGE offers a simple and sensitive technique for routine differentiation between pathogenic and nonpathogenic isolates within unknown F. avenaceum populations. The discovery has significant implications for risk assessment of cereal yield to ensure food and feed safety. This low-cost approach has the potential to be optimized and extended to a broad spectrum of Fusarium head blight pathogens.

Abstract
The variation at 28 Y-chromosome biallelic markers was analysed in 256 males (90 Croats, 81 Serbs and 85 Bosniacs) from Bosnia-Herzegovina. An important shared feature between the three ethnic groups is the high frequency of the "Palaeolithic" European-specific haplogroup (Hg) I, a likely signature of a Balkan population re-expansion after the Last Glacial Maximum. This haplogroup is almost completely represented by the sub-haplogroup I-P37 whose frequency is, however, higher in the Croats (approximately 71%) than in Bosniacs (approximately 44%) and Serbs (approximately 31%). Other rather frequent haplogroups are E (approximately 15%) and J (approximately 7%), which are considered to have arrived from the Middle East in Neolithic and post-Neolithic times, and R-M17 (approximately 14%), which probably marked several arrivals, at different times, from eastern Eurasia. Hg E, almost exclusively represented by its subclade E-M78, is more common in the Serbs (approximately 20%) than in Bosniacs (approximately 13%) and Croats (approximately 9%), and Hg J, observed in only one Croat, encompasses approximately 9% of the Serbs and approximately 12% of the Bosniacs, where it shows its highest diversification. By contrast, Hg R-M17 displays similar frequencies in all three groups. On the whole, the three main groups of Bosnia-Herzegovina, in spite of some quantitative differences, share a large fraction of the same ancient gene pool distinctive for the Balkan area.
