Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the outcomes of monthly video consultations for children with diabetes. METHODS The Virtual Outpatient Diabetes Clinic for Children and Youth (VIDIKI) was a 6-month multicenter controlled clinical trial followed by an extension phase. The 240 participants (1-16 years), all using a CGM, were quasi-randomized by residence location to the intervention group (IG) or the waitlist-control group (WG). The IG started immediately after enrollment with monthly video consultations as an add-on to regular care, while the WG received regular care for 6 months before starting the intervention. The extension phase lasted between 12 months and 2 years, depending on the enrollment date. Linear regression was applied to model the primary outcome of HbA1c after 6 months and other metabolic and psychosocial outcomes. RESULTS After covariate adjustments, the HbA1c at 6 months-corresponding to the controlled treatment phase-was 0.11% lower in the IG than that in the WG (95% CI -0.31 to 0.09, P = .277). For the total study sample, a significant HbA1c improvement was found after 12 months of video consultations, which increased further until month 15. The diabetes burden of the main caregivers was lower, and parental treatment satisfaction was significantly higher in the IG than that in the WG. CONCLUSIONS The VIDIKI study found no significant HbA1c difference between IG and WG after 6 months in the controlled phase, but there was a decreased diabetes burden and increased treatment satisfaction for the parents. In the longitudinal perspective, a significant HbA1c improvement was found after 12 and 15 months.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the most advanced stage of peripheral arterial disease. Limb revascularization is considered the first line of treatment.
Purpose
The aim of the study was to compare endothelial function and clinical outcomes in CLI and non-CLI patients during a 12-month follow-up period after endovascular treatment (PTA).
Methods
The study was conducted as a prospective, single-centre, follow-up evaluation. The authors recruited 30 CLI and 40 non-CLI patients. The following markers of endothelial dysfunction were evaluated: flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), reactive-hyperaemia index (RHI), arterial pulse-waveform analysis (aPWA) indices and clinical markers such as ankle-brachial index, toe-brachial index and Rutherford scale.
Results
Better clinical improvement may be observed in patients with CLI - the mean Rutherford grade significantly decreased in the CLI group (p<0.001). These patients also have better endothelial response to revascularization – CLI patients continue to have improved RHI up to 6 months after PTA, where in non-CLI patients, improvement was only noted during the first month. The mean FMD value did not change significantly during the follow-up in either of the groups. When comparing selected intervals, the FMD values in the CLI and non-CLI groups improved during the first month of observation and then decreased between the 1st and 6th month of follow-up. Finally, in CLI patients, baseline intima-media thickness predicts the number of reinterventions and major adverse events.
Conclusions
Patients with CLI differ significantly from patients with claudication based on clinical response and endothelial changes after revascularization.

Abstract
One of the recognized side effects of antineoplastic anthracyclines is poor wound healing, resulting from an impairment of collagen biosynthesis. The most affected tissue is skin. The mechanism underlying the tissue specificity of the side effects of anthracyclines has not been established. In view of the fact that a number of pharmacologic agents are known to form complexes with melanin and melanins are abundant constituents of the skin, we determined whether daunorubicin interacts with melanin and how this process affects collagen biosynthesis in cultured human skin fibroblasts. Results indicated that daunorubicin forms complexes with melanin. Scatchard analysis showed that the binding of daunorubicin to melanin was heterogeneous, suggesting the presence of two classes of independent binding sites with K1 = 1.83 x 10(5) M(-1) and K2 = 5.52 x 10(3) M(-1). The number of strong binding sites was calculated as n1 = 0.158 micromol/mg of melanin and the number of weak binding sites as n2 = 0.255 micromol/mg of melanin. We have suggested that prolidase, an enzyme involved in collagen metabolism, may be one of the targets for anthracycline-induced inhibition of collagen synthesis. We found that daunorubicin induced inhibition of prolidase activity (IC50 = 10 microM), collagen biosynthesis (IC50 = 70 microM) and DNA biosynthesis (IC50= 10 microM) in human skin fibroblasts. Melanin (100 microg/ml) by itself produced about 25% inhibition of DNA synthesis and prolidase activity but it had no effect on collagen biosynthesis in cultured fibroblasts. However, the addition of melanin (100 microg/ml) to daunorubicin-treated cells (at IC50 concentration) augmented the inhibitory action of daunorubicin on collagen and DNA biosynthesis without having any effect on prolidase activity. The same effect was achieved when the cells were treated with daunorubicin at one-fourth of the IC50 given at 0, 6, 12 and 18 h during a 24-h incubation. The data suggest that the melanin-induced augmentation of the inhibitory effects of daunorubicin on collagen and DNA biosynthesis may result from: (i) accumulation of the drug in the extracellular matrix, (ii) gradual dissociation of the complex, and (iii) constant action of the released drug on cell metabolism. The phenomenon may explain the potential mechanism for the organ specificity of daunorubicin-induced poor wound healing in patients administered this drug.

Abstract
The effects of the stable prostacyclin analogue iloprost, prostaglandin E1 and prostaglandin F2 alpha on sterol synthesis were investigated in freshly isolated human mononuclear leukocytes. Incubation of cells for 6 h in a medium containing lipid-depleted serum led to a 3-fold rise in the rate of sterol synthesis from [14C]acetate or tritiated water. Iloprost and prostaglandin E1 added in increasing concentrations at zero time resulted in an inhibition of the synthesis of sterols, the suppression being 50 and 55% at a concentration of 1 mumol/1, respectively. Both prostaglandins yielded a sigmoidal log dose-effect curve. In contrast, prostaglandin F2 alpha had no influence on sterol synthesis up to a concentration of 1 mumol/1. The action of the prostacyclin analogue and prostaglandin E1 on the relative rate of sterol synthesis was not immediate, since the prostaglandins had no effect when given at 6 h to the incubation medium, and the incorporation of [14C]acetate into sterols was measured thereafter. The results suggest that prostacyclin and prostaglandin E1 affect cholesterol synthesis and therefore may play a role in the regulation of cellular cholesterol homeostasis and in the development of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The influence of plasma and low and high molecular weight plasma fraction on MAO activity in platelets from controls were studied. Plasmas were obtained from patients with decreased platelet MAO activity and suffering from chronic schizophrenia of different syndrome subtypes, unipolar depressions, and alcoholism. Up to 50% inhibition and activation of MAO activity alterations were not different between the plasmas from schizophrenic, depressive, and alcoholic patients. Plasmas from schizophrenic patients without medication or on neuroleptics showed similar inhibition and/or activation of MAO activity in platelets from controls. The results indicate, in accordance with recent findings, that a number of low and high molecular weight substances can trigger platelet MAO activity changes. These plasma factors do not appear to be characteristic of schizophrenic patients with low platelet MAO activity.

Abstract
After ingestion of 400 mg of mescaline sulfate by human volunteers, 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid was isolated from urine and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The amount of this anionic mescaline metabolite was found to be very low as compared with that of the well-konwn 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenylacetic acid. The significance of this finding is discussed.
