Az agyérbetegségek jelentőségét jelzi, hogy a cardiovascularis és tumoros betegségek után a stroke jelenti a harmadik leggyakoribb halálokot világszerte. Mivel stroke során az érintett agyállomány irreverzíbilisen károsodik, az infarktust övező épen maradt, de általában hipoperfundált agyterületek működésének serkentésével lehet a betegek állapotán javítani. Az agyi véráramlás növelése révén várható javulás a stroke-on még át nem esett, de krónikus agyi hipoperfúzióban szenvedő betegek tüneteiben is. Célkitűzés, módszer: Jelen tanulmány célja, hogy áttekintse a vinpocetin akut és krónikus agyérbetegségekben történő alkalmazásának eddig publikált humán vizsgálati eredményeit, és összefoglaló képet adjon a gyógyszer főbb indikációs területeiről, az ott mutatott hatékonyságról. Eredmények: A vinpocetin akut ischaemiás stroke-ban történő alkalmazását vizsgáló tanulmányok száma csekély, eredményeik pedig ellentmondásosak. Krónikus agyérbetegek esetében mind az egyszeri, mind a hosszú távú vinpocetinkezelést követően PET-, SPECT-, TCD- és NIRS-vizsgálatokkal a laesio körüli ép agyterületek perfúziónövekedése, fokozott glükóz- és O 2 -felhasználása igazolódott, és jelentős javulás volt észlelhető a vér reológiai paramétereiben is. A klinikai hatékonyságot értékelő nemzetközi tanulmányok metaanalízise alapján a gyógyszer per os alkalmazásával szignifikáns javulás jelentkezik a kognitív teljesítményben és a napi aktivitásban. Következtetések: A fenti vizsgálatok eredményei alapján kimondható, hogy a vinpocetin sokrétű farmakológiai hatása révén kedvezően befolyásolja az agy ép területeinek perfúzióját és metabolizmusát, a vér áramlási viszonyait, javítva ezzel a krónikus agyérbetegek életminőségét.

Motor Acts

Mirror neurons are a specific type of visuomotor neuron that discharge both when a monkey executes a motor act and when it observes a similar motor act performed by another individual. In this article, we review first the basic properties of these neurons. We then describe visual features recently investigated which indicate that, besides encoding the goal of motor acts, mirror neurons are modulated by location in space of the observed motor acts, by the perspective from which the others’ motor acts are seen, and by the value associated with the object on which others’ motor acts are performed. In the last part of this article, we discuss the role of the mirror mechanism in planning actions and in understanding the intention underlying the others’ motor acts. We also review some human studies suggesting that motor intention in humans may rely, as in the monkey, on the mirror mechanism.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the role of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in the prevention of radiocontrast—induced nephropathy (RIN). DATA SOURCES: A literature search of MEDLINE (1966–December 2001) was performed using the following search terms: N-acetylcysteine, nephropathy, acute renal failure, and radiocontrast. STUDY SELECTION: Pertinent English-language animal and human studies were reviewed. DATA SYNTHESIS: Few small animal trials have demonstrated that NAC significantly prevents the development or reduces the severity of acute renal failure. Two human studies demonstrated NAC significantly reduces the occurrence of RIN. CONCLUSIONS: NAC may reduce the occurrence of RIN in high-risk patients. Further large-scale studies are needed to corroborate findings from earlier trials.

The critical abrasion situation manifests itself on the coastal part of the Kalachevsky district due to the increasing anthropogenic load. The most important element of the complex of measures to combat silting of reservoirs and coastal abrasion, as well as an effective measure to strengthen the banks is forest vegetation. The objectives of the research were to study the soil, forest and climatic conditions of the object under study, to develop an assortment of shrubs and features of the formation of protective forest stands, as well as criteria for selecting an adapted assortment of tree and shrub vegetation and methods of caring for the soil and plantings. During the research, the most promising types of shrubs for creating upper protective forest stands were identified: Ligustrum vilgare L., Berberis vulgaris L., Cotoneaster lucidus Schltdl., Amelanchier Medik., Ribes aureum Pursh., Rosa canina L. It was found that the useful role of forest stands is manifested in their ability to convert surface runoff into subsurface runoff, to clean surface stock water from fine-grained soil, to weaken the speed of movement and to extinguish the energy of waves, binding the soil with roots. Recommendations are given for the creation and placement of anti-abrasion plantings, depending on the steepness and height of the slope. It is stated that one of the main measures for the care of the aboveground part of the plantings is the pruning of the crown, carried out taking into account the biological characteristics of their growth and development, including the removal of dry and damaged branches, thinning of the crown, preservation of the previously given crown size, rejuvenation of the crown. It is recommended to place shrubs depending on the landscape, soil and climatic conditions and features of abrasive processes in areas of constant, periodic, episodic flooding and strong moderate and weak flooding of the coastline.

In this study, fruits, fruit flesh and seeds of damask rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) and rose hip (Rosa canina L.) were assayed for the composition of fatty acids, ascorbic acid, α-tocopherol, β-carotene, and mineral elements. The content of linoleic acid in seed oil of Rosa damascena (54.18%) was found to be higher than in that of Rosa canina (48.84%). α-Tocopherol contents were found to be 7.10 μg/g and 34.20 μg/g for Rosa damascena and Rosa canina fruits, respectively. Ascorbic acid content was determined as the highest in the fruit flesh (546 mg/100 g in Rosa damascena and 2200 mg/100 g in Rosa canina), and as the lowest in the seeds of both species. Rosa damascena fruits were found to be richer in minerals such as Ca, Fe, K, Mn, Na, P, and Zn than Rosa canina fruits. The results of the present study showed that Rosa damascena fruits could be used as food and food additive equally as rose hip fruits.

Dental implants have become a widely used dental treatment approach. It is important to identify factors that can be detrimental to dental implants and the peri-implant complex. There is controversy regarding whether occlusion plays a role in the implant and peri-implant condition. The present study aims to review the scientific literature regarding this topic. Animal and human studies, and previous reviews on the topic are included and presented. There is a wide heterogeneity among study designs. Several articles demonstrated that occlusion and occlusion overload could detrimentally affect the peri-implant condition, while other articles did not support these results. More studies are needed to help understand the mechanisms by which occlusion might play a role in the peri-implant condition.
