Subject and methods: The sample consisted of 100 pupils (age 10 to 15) from two randomly chosen schools. Children were selected from general population, lived with both parents who have had war traumatic experiences. They agreed to participate in psychometric research. We divided them in two groups: observed (O) group of children (N=50) whose parents were showing symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and control (C) group of children (N=50) whose parents did not show symptoms of PTSD (evaluated by Harvard trauma questionnaire – BiH version). Contact network was examined by a Map of Contact Network which includes contact and satisfaction with persons in close environment. In relation to gender representatives of fathers and mothers, sample was homogenous. Results: The most important persons in children whose parents are showing symptoms of PTSD were schoolmates (88,0%), home mate (86,0%), mother (72,0%), and father (2,0%). At children whose parents did not show symptoms of PTSD, most important persons were schoolmate (94,0%), mother (80,0%), brother (6,0%), grandfather (8,0%), and father (14, 0%). The most distinct disappointment in contacts in children with parents with PTSD symptoms were family, relatives and friends, in school and formal contacts (p<0,001). Conclusion: Children of parents who have had symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the most important persons that they communicate were schoolmates and they had problem in communicating with fathers and males. According to satisfaction children whose parents suffered from PTSD were showing distinction in contacts with their families, relatives, schoolmates and formal contacts. Keywords: contact network, contact satisfaction, children, parents, post traumatic stress disorder 1. Introduction War and post war period brings many problems inside family, illness, lower standard rate disruption in family contacts etc. There are different circumstances that could disrupt traditional relationships and create confusion inside family. The development of individual in social environment is made of mutual interaction where external influence makes important factor in changes of development and it emphasized unity between individual and environment (1,2,3,4). Environmental factors and individual factors influence on relationships network through the life span (5). Parents, especially war veterans are usually overwhelmed by PTSD, what makes them difficult to recognize as well as to satisfy all family needs. The family represents basic spot and certain communication field which offer to any family member aid in confrontation, built of self esteem and self respect in facing with critical moments (6). Preoccupied with their war traumas, fears, anxiety and guilty feelings parents with PTSD became distant of family and for that 124 distance they accuse their family. Children are feeling unnoticed, detached with adults, especially fathers. Parents’ usually sacrifice their authentic contact with children and transfer it on appearance and cliché level rather to be floated with unpleasant feelings (7). With traumatization, interactions between parents and children is destroyed (8,9). 2. aim The aim of this study is to examine contact network and satisfaction with it in children whose parent’s show PTSD symptoms. 3. Methods In our examination we took 100 school age children (from 10 to 15 years old) from two randomly chosen elementary schools from Tuzla Canton area. The research was approved from Pedagogy and School Council of Tuzla Canton, and school boards confirmed testing approach. The research was done among children from 5. to 8. grade. Based on social map of school we took 150 children who have lived in complete family. From that number MED ARH 2009; 63(3) • ORIGINALNI ČLANCI / ORIGINAL PAPERS we include 120 children whose parents subscribe written approval for participating testing and fulfilled Harvard Trauma Questionnaire. Among 120 of children we discovered 50 whose parents have shown positive result in PTSD in HTQ scale (> 2.5) and we have chosen 50 children whose parents have not shown PTSD symptoms in HTQ scale (< 2.5). Conditions for parents to participate in research were: general population, previous traumatic experiences, show symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, no other psychical disturbances. Conditions for children to participate in research were: complete family, equal number of male and female participants, elementary school age (5-8 grade). Harvard Trauma Manual, BosniaHerzegovina Version (HTQ) HTQ-Version for Bosnia and Herzegovina, consisted of four parts: possible traumatic event, declaration for possible traumatic events, description of the most traumatic event, questions about head injuries, and questions about psychosocial disturbances caused by trauma. Results for PTSD and/or total score >2.5 is counted as „positive“for PTSD. Total score value represent intensity of PTSD and that result represent symptoms and functional status. Network contact map (10) is concerned to contact with persons who surround child and his/her satisfaction with those contacts. It measured contacts with the most important, important and les important persons, as well as important persons with weak contacts and their satisfaction with those contacts. Contacts are done in 1.) family, 2.) friends and neighbors, 3.) relatives, 4.) school, 5.) formal contacts. For significance testing we have used descriptive statistics. For performing of statistical evidences in research we have used program SPSS 10.0 for Windows. 4. Results In total sample, participants age 11-13 represent 86.0% and there were 46.0% girls and 40.0% boys. (ME=12.06, SDE=0.91 ), (MK=12.10, SDK=1.23) . According to number of family members the most of them live in family with 4-5 members and there is no statistically significant difference between groups (X2=6.27, df=4, p>0.05).

Distribution of participants regarding satisfaction with contacts and groups in sample Daud et al, 2008). Our study has shown that in children whose parents suffer from PTSD symptoms groups of school friends, domicile peers and mother represented the most important persons and those were appropriate with developmental stage (2,15,16,17,18,19). Mother is still the most important family member. Very significant place presented mothers parents- grandmother and grandfather, what could be a part of cultural milieu and relationships. Some i mpor t a nt person s a re teacher, father, medical professionals, relatives and friends, but less important persons are siblings. Boys from traumatized families had more difficulties in communications with brothers and male persons in family (p<0.05). There was big percentage (78.0%) without any answer what could mean that children mostly communicate with persons in their nearest surrounding. Very weak contact was established with father as family member and we explain it with weak resonance and weak capacity for communication because of father’s traumatic experiences in which made him emotionally “stuck”, isolated and distanced, so children look confidence in communication with those persons who were capable to do that. This point up that relations and roles inside the family have been changed, but it could also be consequence of specific developmental ageearly adolescence. Our results are compliant with previous researches (14,20,21,22,23) that the most important persons in the age of latency and early adolescence are peers, parents, 126 school friends, teachers, siblings, cousins and close friends. It could be an “important social capital” for normal development and growing up. There were no significant difference between two groups in choosing the most important, important and less important persons with weak contacts (p>0.05), but children whose parents do not show PTSD symptoms had more frequency in contacts with the most important persons. Our study has shown that children whose parents had PTSD symptoms significantly more unsatisfied with contacts inside the family, relatives, school, friends/ neighbors and formal contacts comparing with children whose parents did not have PTSD symptoms (p<0.001). Our results are compatible with previous researches (7,9) which showed that relationship between parents and children were destroyed and that traumatised parents show up too little resonance for children. Many PTSD symptoms in parents are connected with interpersonal relationships like less interest for people and things around them, weak emotional expression and irritability (20,24,25). Children are secondary traumatised and frustrated with everyday contact forming, feels as detached and try find the way to get in reached with family members (Guajarado, Snyder and Peterson , 2009). 6. Conclusion: Children whose parents has PTSD symptoms as the most important persons for communication picked up peer friends, and had difficulties in communications with fathers and mail persons.

Uzimajući u obzir ove činjenice provedeno je istraživanje kod 200 odraslih bolesnika sa akutnim IMS stečenim u zajednici, koji su zbog težine kliničke slike i neuspješnog ambulantnog liječenja hospitalizirani u Klinici za infektivne bolesti Tuzla, u dvogodišnjem periodu (2006. i 2007. godina). Dominantni etiološki faktori ovih infekcija su: E. coli (73,5%), Klebsiella spp. (8,5%), Proteus mirabilis (5,5%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (4%) i Enterococcus faecalis (3%). E. coli je značajno češći etiološki faktor IMS kod žena, kompliciranog i nekompliciranog pijelonefritisa i cistouretritisa (P<0.0001). Nije nađena statistički značajna razlika u učestalosti između etioloških faktora IMS u odnosu na dobne skupine bolesnika, godišnje doba i prostatitis (P>0.05). E. coli je senzitivna na Cefalosporine III generacije, Gentamycin, Nitrofurantoin, Norfloxacin, Ciprofloxacin i Pipemidinsku kiselinu (senzitivnost iznad 88,7%), Klebsiella spp. na Imipenem i Meropenem (senzitivnost 100%), Proteus mirabilis na Imipenem i Meropenem (senzitivnost 100%) i relativno na Amikacin (senzitivnost 81,8%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa na Imipenem (senzitivnost 100%) i Meropenem (senzitivnost 87,5%) i Enterococcus faecalis na Vancomycin (senzitivnost 100%) i relativno na Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, Ciprofloksacin, Doxyciclin i Nitrofurantoin (senzitivnost 83,4%).

Original paper SUMMARY Introduction: Etiological factors of community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTI) are specific for age, gender, season, complication of UTI and type of UTI. Their prevalence and susceptibility to antimicrobial agents shows geographic and time variability. Purpose: To evaluate etiological characteristics of acute communityacquired UTI in hospitalised patients. Patients and methods: This retrospective-prospective study included 200 adult patients with community-acquired UTI who were, in view of the serious clinical picture and unsuccessful ambulatory treatment, hospitalised in the Clinic for Infectious Diseases in Tuzla, for a period of two years (2006 and 2007). The data concerning the age, gender, season, complication of UTI and type of UTI were collected from the patient’s records. Urine analysis was done following standard microbiological methods, and the antibiogram was done following standard disc-diffusion method on the Müeller-Hinton agar. Work results: The dominant etiological factors of UTI were: E. coli (73.5%), Klebsiella spp. (8.5%), Proteus mirabilis (5.5%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (4.5%) and Enterococcus faecalis (3%). The predominant etiological factor of this UTI was E. coli (P<0.0001). E. coli was significantly more frequent etiological factor of UTI in females (P<0.0001). There was no significant difference in the frequency between etiological factors of UTI for different age groups of patients (P=0.173), or for different seasons (P>0.05). All etiological factors are significantly more frequent during warmer periods of the year (P<0.05). E. coli is a significantly more frequent etiological factor in complicated and non-complicated pyelonephrytis and cystourethritis (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference of frequency between etiological factors of prostatitis (P=0.7163). By analyzing the susceptibility for antimicrobials, we found that E. coli has good susceptibility for Cephalosporins of the third generation, for Gentamycin, Nitrofurantoin, Norfloxacin, Ciprofloxacin and Pipemidin acid (susceptibility higher than 88.7%), Klebsiella spp. for Imipenem and Meropenem (susceptibility 100%), Proteus mirabilis for Imipenem (susceptibility 100%) and relatively for Amikacin (susceptibility 81.8%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa for Imipenem (susceptibility 100%) and for Meropenem (susceptibility 87.5%) and Enterococcus faecalis for Vancomycin (susceptibility 100%) and relatively for Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, Ciprofloxacin, Doxicyclin and Nitrofurantoin (susceptibility 83.4%). Conclusion: Etiological characteristics of UTI are specific for different regions. Evaluation of these characteristics in our region is the basis for empirical antimicrobial therapy of UTI, which is necessary for a timely and successful treatment of UTI.

UVOD Etiološki faktori infekcija mokraćnog sistema (IMS) stečenih u zajednici najčešće su G-negativne bakterije iz porodice Enterobacteriaceae koje čine fiziološku floru crijeva, a dobro rastu u mokraći. Escherichia coli (E. coli) je etiološki faktor 70-80% ovih infekcija (1). Kod nekompliciranih IMS, E. coli je etiološki faktor 5090% ovih infekcija (2,3), dok je kod kompliciranih IMS, E coli je, također, važan etiološki faktor, ali se sa većom učestalošću javljaju i druge G-bakterije: Proteus spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., Morganella spp., Citrobacter spp. i Acinetobacter spp. (2,4). Od G+bakterija faktora, Staphylococcus saprophyticus izaziva 5-15%, a u periodu kasnog ljeta i rane jeseni i do 40% nekompliciranih IMS donjeg dijela mokraćnog sistema kod mladih seksualno aktivnih žena (2,5) i vodeći je etiološki faktor ovih infekcija u SAD, Kanadi i skandinavskim zemljama, dok je u nekim zemljama rijedak, samo 0,9% (6). Staphylococcus aureus je najčešći uzročnik intrarenalnog i perinefritičkog apscesa (7), dok izolacija Staphylococcus epidermidis u mokraći najčešće predstavlja kontaminaciju mokraće, a samo rijetko može značiti IMS vezanu za mokraćni katater. Enterococcus faecalis je češće povezan sa kompliciranim IMS, dok Streptococcus agalactiae često kolonizira genitalno područje i kontaminira mokraću, a rijetko uzrokuje IMS (8). Candida albicans je najčešći etiološki faktor gljivičnih IMS kod bolesnika sa kamencima u mokraćnom sistemu, kod kateteriziranih bolesnika u jedinicama intenzivne njege i kod pacijenata koji su dugo tretirani antimikrobnim lijekovima (9). Adenovirusi su česti etiološki faktori hemoragičnog cistitisa kod djece i primalaca alogenog transplantata (7). Dosadašnji rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da je prevalencija dominantnih etioloških faktora IMS različita u odnosu na spol i dob bolesnika, sezonu, kompliciranost i kategoriju IMS. Mikrobna osjetljivost uzročnika IMS je smanjena zbog povećane i često neracionalne upotrebe i povećanja antimikrobne rezistencije. Etiološki faktori IMS u odnosu na navedene parametre pokazuju geografsku varijabilnost i varijabilnost u vremenu, te autori ističu potrebu kontinuirane evaluacije ovih faktora (3,10).

Računajući 95% interval povjerenja za proporciju kompliciranih IMS (95%CI: 0.71-0.73) i nekompliciranih IMS (95%CI: 0.71-0.77) izazvanih E. coli, utvrđeno je da su proporcije ovih IMS značajno češće nego proporcije istih IMS izazvanih ne-E. coli etiološkim faktorima. U svim slučajevima proračuna je P<0.05 (tabela 4). U odnosu na ukupan broj bolesnika sa IMS, E. coli je etiološki faktor kompliciranog pijelonefritisa kod 59 (29,5%) bolesnika, kompliciranog cistouretritisa kod 35 (17,5%) bolesnika, prostatitisa kod 9 (4,5%) bolesnika, nekompliciranog pijelonefritisa kod 12 (6%) bolesnika i nekompliciranog cistouretritisa kod 32 (16%) bolesnika, a ne-E. coli etiološki faktori kompliciranog pijelonefritisa kod 18 (9%) bolesnika, komplicira- Etiološke karakteristike akutnih infekcija mokraćnog sistema stečenih u zajednici kod odraslih hospitaliziranih bolesnika nog cistouretitisa kod 14 (7%) bolesnika, prostatitisa kod 7 (3,5%) bolesnika, nekompliciranog pijelonefritisa kod 4 (2%) bolesnika i nekompliciranog cistouretritisa kod 10 (5%) bolesnika. Proporcija slučajeva kompliciranog i nekompliciranog pijelonefritisa i cistouretritisa izazvanim E. coli značajno je veća od proporcije slučajeva istih izazvanim ne-E. coli etiološkim faktorima. U svim slučajevima proračuna je P<0.05. Ne postoji statistički značajna razlika proporcija slučajeva prostatitisa izazvanog E. coli i ne-E. coli etiološkim faktorima (P=0.7163) (tabela 5.). Analizom senzitivnosti dominantnih etioloških faktora IMS na antimikrobna sredstva evidentno je da je E. coli dobro osjetljiva na Cefalosporine III generacije, Gentamycin, Nitrofurantoin, Norfloxacin, Ciprofloxacin i Pipemidinsku kiselinu (senzitivnost iznad 88,7%). Klebsiella spp. je dobro osjetljiva na Imipenem i Meropenem (senzitivnost 100%), Proteus mirabilis na Imipenem i Meropenem (senzitivnost 100%) i relativno na Amikacin (81,8%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa na Imipenem (senzitivnost 100%) i Meropenem (87,5%) i Enterococcus faecalis na Vancomycin (senzitivnost 100%) i relativno na Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, Ciprofloksacin, Doxyciclin i Nitrofurantoin (senzitivnost 83,4 %) (tabela 6.). 5. DISKUSIJA Od ukupno 200 hospitaliziranih bolesnika sa akutnim IMS stečenim u zajednici, 73,5% bolesnika imalo je E. coli-IMS što je čini predominantnim etiološkim faktorom IMS (P<0.0001). Sljedeći etiološki faktori po učestalosti su: Klebsiella spp., Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa i Enterococcus faecalis, što je saglasno sa rezultatima istraživanja drugih istraživača (3). E. coli značajno češće uzrokuje IMS kod žena, 131 (65,5%) u odnosu na muškarce, 16 (8%), (P<0.0001). Prema podacima iz dostupne literature kod muškaraca su akutne IMS, naročito akutni prostatitis najčešće uzrokovane E. coli, a zatim slijede Klebsiella pneumoniae, Morganella spp. i Enterococcus spp. (11). U odnosu na životnu dob bolesnika ne postoji značajna razlika u učestalosti E. coli i ne-E. coli etioloških faktora IMS (P=0.173). Svi uzročnici su značajno češći u starijoj životnoj dobi, 65 i više godina (P<0.05). Prema Petersonu, kod bolesnika starije životne dobi koji boluju od hroničnih i degenerativnih bolesti i kod Antimikrobni lijek Ampicillin Amoxicillin Amoxiclav Piperacillin Norfloxacin Ciprofloxacin Imipenem Meropenem Vancomycin Cefotaxim Ceftriaxon Ceftazidim Erythromycin Doxycyclin Gentamycin Amikacin Tmp-Smx Nitrofurantoin Pipemid. kis.

Analizirajući učestalost etioloških faktora u odnosu na godišnje doba, dobili smo zanimljive rezultate da su i E. coli (P<0.0001) i ne-E. coli etiološki faktori (P=0.033) značajno češći u toplijem dijelu godine (proljeće–ljeto) što daje IMS epitet sezonskih bolesti. Dosadašnje studije pokazuju da su IMS nešto češće u hladnijim godišnjim dobima, dok Staphylococcus saprophyticis češće uzrokuje IMS u kasno ljeto i ranu jesen 5-15%, pa čak i do 40% IMS (5). E. coli je značajno češće etiološki faktor kompliciranih i nekompliciranih IMS u odnosu na ne-E. coli etiološke faktore (P<0.0001), što se također slaže sa izvještajima drugih istraživača koji naglašavaju učestalost E. coli u kompliciranim i nekompliciranim IMS (2,4), s tim što su češće uzročnici kompliciranih IMS i druge G-bakterije (2,3,4). Istraživanje provedeno u Izraelu dalo je rezultate da je prevalenca E. coli kao uzročnika IMS u padu od 70,5% u 1991. godini, na 56% u 2000. godini, što potvrđuje varijabilnost prevalence etioloških faktora (E. coli) u vremenu (3). U odnosu na kategoriju IMS E. coli je značajno češći etiološki faktor kompliciranog i nekompliciranog cistouretritisa i pijelonefritisa (P<0.05), dok kod bolesnika sa prostatitisom nema značajne razlike u učestalosti E. coli i ne-E. coli etioloških faktora (P=0.7163). Alos izvještava da je E. coli etiološki faktor 85% nekompliciranog cistitisa, dok su Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Proteus mirabilis, Streptococcus agalactiae i Klebsiella spp. odgovorni za većinu drugih slučajeva (10). Colodner i sar. izvještavaju da je u Izraelu svega 0,9% nekompliciranih IMS uzrokovano sa Staphylococcus saprophyticus (6). 6. ZAKLJUČCI Dominantni etiološki faktori akutnih IMS stečenih u zajednici kod hospitaliziranih bolesnika su: E. coli (73,5%), Klebsiella spp. (8,5%), Proteus mirabilis (5,5%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (4%) i Enterococcus faecalis (3%). E. coli je značajno češći etiološki faktor IMS kod žena, kompliciranog i nekompliciranog pijelonefritisa i cistouretritisa (P<0.0001).

U 80. djece i adolescenata, koji su oboljeli od DMT1 u dobi od 2. do 16. godine života, morfometrijski ultrazvukom mjerila su se oba bubrega. Nefelometrijskom metodom se je iz tri uzastopna uzorka urina određivala mikroalbuminurija. Određivan je serumski kreatinin u ispitanika sa mikroalbuminurijom. Demografski podaci su dobiveni odgovorom od roditelja i iz medicinske dokumentacije ispitanika. U odnosu na dužinu trajanja bolesti svi ispitanici su podijeljeni u dvije grupe: prva grupa sa trajanjem DMT1 <10 godina i druga sa trajanjem bolesti >10 godina. U ispitanika sa trajanjem DMT1 duže od 10 godina učestalost patološkog nalaza uzdužnog dijametra i volumena oba bubrega u odnosu na dob i antropometrijske standarde je statistički značajno veća. Također, isti ispitanici imali su statistički značajno veću srednju vrijednost HbAlc i učestalije mikroalbuminuriju. Kod ispitanika sa mikroalbuminurijom ukupna srednja vrijednost klirensa kreatinina bila je u granicama referentnih vrijednosti a statistički značajno veća kod ispitanika kod kojih je bolest trajala manje od deset godina, što govori u prilog hiperfiltracije bubrega. Ultrazvučno praćenje dimenzija i volumena bubrega uz mikroalbuminuriju, može ukazati na postojanje ranih faza dijabetesne nefropatije (DN) i uticati na njeno sprečavanje i dalju progresiju.

Original paper SUMMARY The aim of the study was to compare ultrasound findings of kidneys in children and adolescents with diabetes mellitus type 1 (DMT1), establish the association with microalbuminuria, blood pressure values and metabolic control of the disease, and creatinine clearance. In 80 children and adolescents with DMT1, in whom illness occurred in period between 2 and 16 years of age, morphometry measurements with ultrasound were performed. Nephelometric method of three consecutive samples of urine determined microalbuminuria. In patients with microalbuminuria, creatinine clearance was also measured. Demographic data were obtained from the parents and from the patients medical records. In relation to the duration of the disease, all patients were divided into two groups: the first group of patients with illness lasting for less than 10 years, and the second were those whose illness had lasted more than 10 years. In patients with duration of DMT1 of more than 10 years, the frequency of pathological findings of the longitudinal diameter and volume of both kidneys in relation to age and anthropometric standards was statistically significantly greater. Also, the finding of microalbuminuria was more frequent. In the group of patients with DMT1 lasting for more than 10 years, the mean value of HBAlc was statistically significantly higher. In patients with microalbuminuria the total mean value of creatinine clearance was within the bounds of the reference values and was statistically significantly higher in patients in whom the illness had lasted less than three years, which indicates hyperfiltration of the kidneys. Alongside microalbuminuria, monitoring of the dimension and volume of the kidneys may indicate the existence of the early phases of diabetic nephropathy and result in its prevention and prevention of illness progression. Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, nephropathy, microalbuminuria, ultrasound parameters 1. UVOD Dijabetesna nefropatija (DN) je najčešća specifična dugoročna komplikacija dijabetes melitusa tip 1 (DMT1). Kod 2080% oboljele djece i adolescenata u kasnijoj životnoj dobi razviti će se dijabetesna nefropatija (1, 2). Progresivno propadanje funkcije bubrega u DMT1 prvi su opisali Mogensen i sar., (3). Nezavisno jedan od drugoga nekoliko je autora otkrilo da postoje tri faze DN: hipertrofijska hiperfiltracija, mikroalbuminurija i hronično zatajenje bubrega (4, 5). Teško je tačno odrediti kada počinje proces oštećenja bubrega (6). Bubrežna disfunkcija se javlja češće kada je bolest počela prije 20. godine života. Jedini prvi znak nefropatije je pojava mikroalbuminurije (7, 8, 9). Nerijetko mikroalbuminurija prelazi u makroalbuminuriju, dolazi do pada glomerularne filtracije i porasta krvnog pritiska (10). U početnim stadijima dijabetesne nefropatije u djece sa normalnom bubrežnom funkcijom ultrazvučni pregled može biti od pomoći pri detekciji ranih patomorfoloških parenhimskih lezija bubrega (11). Ultrasonografija kao jedna od screening metoda, svakim danom ima sve veću ulogu u praćenju bolesti urinarnog trakta u djece. Ultrazvučna aparatura je široko dostupna, pregled jednostavan, relativno brz i ne zahtijeva posebnu pripremu pacijenta. Za preciznu evaluaciju abnormalnosti morfologije bubrega, a indirektno za kliničke manifestacije i funkciju potrebno je poznavanje normalnih sonografskih parametara bubrega djece (12). 2. CILJ RADA Obzirom da mikroalbuminurija uz praćenje ultrazvučnim pregledom dimenzija i volumena bubrega predstavljaju značajne parametre u kliničkoj procjeni nastanka DN, poduzeto je ovo istraživanje, s ciljem da se utvrdi korelacija nalaza mikroalbuminurije i ultrazvučnog pregleda bubrega, kao jednostavne i rutinske metode, u djece i adolescenata sa DMT1, te da bi se moglo koristiti u blagovremenom otkrivanju, liječenju i prevenciji DN. 3. METODE I ISPITANICI Analizom je obuhvaćeno 80 ispitanika, oba spola, različite životne dobi koji se redovno kontrolišu u ambulanti za endokrinologiju Klinike za dječije bolesti Univerzitetsko kliničkog centra Tuzla (UKC Tuzla). Kriteriji uključenja u ovu studiju su bili da je kod ispitanika DMT1 počeo u uzrastu od 2. do 16. godine života i da u terapiji primaju insulin. Dok su kriteriji isključenja iz ove studije predstavljali pojavu akutne i hronične bolesti (centralnog, respiratornog, kardiovaskularnog, gastrointestinalnog, genitourinarnog sistema), sistemska oboljenja (lupus eritematodes, juvenilni reumatoidni artritis, dijabetes melitus tip 2), oboljenja jetre, trudnoća i upotreba lijekova kao što su kortikosteroidi duži vremenski period. U odnosu na dužinu trajanja bolesti svi ispitanici su podijeljeni u dvije grupe: prvu kod kojih je bolest trajala manje od deset godina i drugu kod kojih je bolest trajala više od deset godina. U odnosu na životnu dob kada je počeo dijabetes, ispitanici su također podijeljeni u tri podgrupe: prvu grupu sačinjavali su ispitanici koji su u vrijeme oboljevanja od DMT1 imali manje od 4.9 godina, drugu grupu ispitanici od 5 do 10.9 godina i treću podgrupu ispitanici stariji od 11 godina. Prije dolaska na pregled, svaki ispi- MED ARH 2009; 63(3) • ORIGINALNI ČLANCI / ORIGINAL PAPERS 133 Mikroalbuminurija i ultrazvučne karakteristike bubrega u djece i adolescenata sa Dijabetes melitusom tip 1 tanik uzeo je u dva prethodna dana tri uzorka urina, dva u jutarnjim i jedan u poslijepodnevnim satima. Do dolaska na pregled uzorci su čuvani u frižideru na temperaturi između +2 do +8°C (13). U nativnom urinu određivana je mikroalbuminurija nefelometrijskom metodom sa reagensima firme Dade Behring (13). Za perzistentnu mikroalbuminuriju smatrane su vrijednosti albumina 20-200 µg/minuti u najmanje dva od tri uzastopna uzorka urina, a intermitentnu ako su vrijednosti albumina bile 20-200 µg/minuti u jednom od tri uzastopna uzorka urina (14). Metabolička kontrola bolesti procjenjivana je na osnovu prosječnih vrijednosti svih dostupnih nalaza HbAlc od početka bolesti do dana ispitivanja. Dužina trajanja bolesti izračunata je u decimalnim godinama na osnovu datuma početka bolesti i datuma skupljenog trećeg uzorka urina. Za datum početka bolesti smatrao se datum primanja prve injekcije insulina (15). Za određivanje funkcionalnog stanja bubrega određivan je klirens endogenog kreatinina pomoću Schwartzova jednadžbe a na osnovu Counahan- Barratova jednadžbe izračunata je i procjenivanja glomerularna filtracija (GF) (16, 17). Nije bilo moguće kontrolisati GF kod zdrave djece i adolescenata. Kod svih ispitanika pomoću »Realtime« ultrazvučnog pregleda radila su se morfometrijska mjerenja oba bubrega. Real- time tehnikom na aparatima Toshiba Corevision 350 i Logiq 3 uz upotrebu multifrekventne konveksne sonde od 3.75 mHz, prvo u ležećem položaju na leđima, te u desnom i lijevom „polukosom dekubitus- položaju“ mjerile su se dimenzije oba bubrega pojedinačno, maksimalni uzdužni promjer bubrega, širina (izražene u mm), izgled parenhima (ehogenost), pratio izgled sinusa i određivao volumen bubrega u mililitrima (ml). Analizirane su dimenzije bubrega dobivene iz maksimalnog uzdužnog tzv. centralnog srednjeg najdužeg dijametra bubrega. Širina parenhima je mjerena iz prethodnog presjeka na mjestu spoja srednje i spolje trećine (12, 18, 19, 20). Za ovo istraživanje dobijena je saglasnost Etičkog komiteta UKC u Tuzli. Statistička obrada podataka Za testiranje statističkih značajnosti razlike među uzorcima korišteni su X²-test, Studentov t-test i Z-test proporcija). Razlika među uzorcima smatrala se značajnom ako je P< 0.05. U sta134 tističkoj obradi podataka je korišten Ar- perzistentnu. cus QuickStat program (21).

Colposcopic Changes Based on Number of Sexual Partners, Births, and Contraceptives Use Colposcopic Changes Based on Number of Sexual Partners, Births, and Contraceptives Use Myrvete Paçarada, Shefqet Lulaj, Gyltene Kongjeli, Niltene Kongjeli, Hana Qavdarbasha, Bujar Obërtinca Gynecology/Obstetrics Clinic, University Clinical Centre of Kosova, Prishtina, Kosovo Original paper SUMMARY Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the role of colposcopy and cytodiagnosis in the early detection of pathological changes in the uterine cervix and the association between the number of birth, sexual partners and colposcopic changes and cytological atypia. Material and Methods: Colposcopic changes in the cervix in relationship to number of births, abortions, and number of sexual partners were determined based on data from examinations performed at the Obstetric-Gynecologic Clinic in Prishtina, Kosovo during 2006 and 2007. The 500 examined patients were categorised in several groups. Results: All study patients underwent colposcopy. Colposcopic atypia was observed in 70 patients (14%), and 77 (15.4%) had other abnormal findings. The amount of colposcopic atypia increased with an increasing number of sexual partners. In the group with three or more sexual partners (n = 43) the rate was 62.8%. Infections were also more frequent in this group; of the 43 patients examined, 51.3% (22 patients) had infections, whereas in the group of 76 patients with only one sexual partner, 18.3% had infections and only 20.6% used contraceptives. Conclusion: Number of births, abortions, number of sexual partners, and contraceptive use directly affect colposcopic changes and cytological atypia. Keywords: colposcopy, endometrial changes. contraceptives 1. Introduction The uterine cervix is very susceptible to infections and is thus vulnerable to numerous pathological processes (1,2,3,4,5,6). In addition, injuries to the cervix incurred while giving birth or injuries incurred during an abortion or the course of other gynecologic or obstetric procedures often result in disorder of the cervix’s functional and anatomic structure (7). In women, cervical cancer is a major cause of death from malignant diseases (1). Three different groups of factors that increase the risk for this disease have been described (8): (1) infection with human papilloma virus (HPV) and the duration of viral infection; (2) conditions such as multiparity and poor nutrition that compromise the immune system; and (3) lifestyle factors such as smoking, contraceptive use, and number of sexual partners, as well as the age at menarche. The link between cervical cancer and human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is well established (4). HPV infections are more frequent in more sexually active females, and the virus is found in more that 90% of intraepithelial lesions detected in younger women (5). Although, the majority of the infections pass after several months or years, a small percentage of the virally infected cells slowly undergo malignant transfor- mation (9, 10), with invasive disease affecting mostly older women. The role of immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer is not clear yet, although it a has been shown that HPV is more frequently present in HIV-seropositive patients than in those who are HIV-seronegative (11). Cervical cancer can be detected and characterised with respect to the involved area, degree of differentiation, and atypia in the vagina by examination with a special binocular magnifier, the colposcope. The main function of colposcopy is the early diagnosis of pre-cancerous cells in the cervix. In the majority of patients, it enables the early detection of cancer and thus allows the use of more conservative treatment (including electrocautery, diathermy, cautery, cryotherapy, and laser) of atypical changes, thereby avoiding more aggressive conisation and gynecologic surgery. The early detection of cytological changes is further enhanced by the combined use of the cytological Papanicolau technique and colposcopy. Cytological analysis detects endocervical changes, which are not seen with colposcopy. Together, these methods result in the early and certain detection of carcinoma of the cervix in over 85% of patients. Moreover, with the advent of organised screening programs, cancer of the cer- vix has become relatively rare in young women (<25 years of age). Instead, cervical cancer mainly affects older women, especially those who have not benefited from screening (2). Despite the advent of these non-invasive methods for early detection of malignant diseases of the cervix, in Kosovo, early detection is relatively rare because of unfavourable socio-economic conditions. The aim of this research study is to obtain more accurate data on the effect of different factors in the pathology of the cervix, more specifically the role of abortions, number of births, and number of sexual partners. 2. Patients and Methods To study the relationship between colspocopic changes in the uterine cervix and number of births, abortions, and sexual partners, data from examinations performed at the Obstetric-Gynecologic Clinic in Prishtina, Kosovo during 2006 and 2007 were analysed. Vaginal smears were taken for cytological analysis, after which colposcopy was performed using a ZeissOberkochen colposcope, with a 20× magnification. Extended colposcopic examination consisted of swabbing the vagina and cervix with 3% acetic acid and using these samples for the Schiller test with iodine. Tissue from abnormal areas was biopsied and submitted for histopathological testing. The 500 patients in the study were classified in groups based on the numbers of births, abortions, and sexual partners. Group 1 comprised patients who had not given birth or had abortions; group 2, patients who had not given birth but possibly had a spontaneous or induced abortion; group 3, patients had given birth once and possibly a spontaneous or induced abortion; group 4, patients had given birth twice and possibly a spontaneous or induced abortion; and group 5, patients had given birth three or more times. Our research did not include pregnant women or women who had undergone any procedures involving the cervix (conisation, thermocoagulation, polypectomy, or plastic surgery of the cervix). 3.

Erythoplakia was more frequent in the former group, which had 31 cases (6.20%) versus five cases (1%) in the latter group. Due to the link between promiscuity and cervical cancer, we questioned the women regarding frequency of sexual activity. Slightly less than half the women (222, 44.4%) reported engaging in sexual intercourse more than three times per week, but we did not obtain data as to whether intercourse was always with the same partner. There were no significant differences between this group and the group that engaged in sexual activity once per week. However, colpitis was more frequent in the group with three or more sexual partners (51.2%) than in the group of women with one partner (18.3%). Both HPV and Chlamydia trachomatis have been linked to cervical changes, but their effects on the cervix are independent of each other (17). Atypical colposcopic findings tended to increase with an increasing number of partners: 17.8% in the group with one partner but 62.8% in the group with three or more partners. The association between the number of births and abortions and pre-cancerous and cancerous processes in the cervix uteri has been addressed by many authors but without a consensus (10). Erythoplakia increases with an increasing number of births. Nine cases were detected in the group of women with one birth; 20 cases, in the group with two births; and 24 cases, in the group with three births. These increases were highly statistically significant. Cervical lacerations during the birth process, particularly in women who carried past term, are related to pathological changes in the cervix and were detected in 101 of the 500 women (20.20%) who participated in the study, and in 33.67% of the women who had given birth. These figures are higher than the 11.5/36.67% reported in a previous study (2). In atypical colposcopic findings, there is a dominant atypical zone of transformation. This was not seen in the group with no births, whereas there 140 Women’s colposcopy experience and preferences: a mixed methods study. 14 January 2008. 8. Terzic B.

Furthermore, the frequency of gynecologic examinations is an important factor in the early detection of atypical findings in the cervix. Contraceptive use may also play a role in the prevalence of pathological changes in the cervix, as seen in five women in the present study. Interestingly, this effect was also evident in women who used mechanical contraceptive devices.

The aim of this work was to evaluate diagnostic value of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in pleural fluid for differentiating malignant from non malign pleural effusion, and their additive value to cytological examination. Design: Prospective, case control study. Setting: Tertiary University hospital, Clinic for Lung Disease, Knez Selo. Patients: Eighty two patients with pleural effusion, forty one with malignant, and forty one with non malignant pleural effusion. Measurements and results: Levels of CEA in pleural fluid was measured by IRMA CEA methods, INEP Belgrade. Patients with lung cancer were found to have significantly higher CEA levels than patients with non malign pleural effusion. Using cut off values of 2.4 ng/ml, the sensitivity of marker was 78%, and specificity 95.1 % (CI 95%). The addition of CEA to cytology increase diagnostic rate from 68 to 85.3%. Conclusion: CEA may represent a helpful adjunct to cytology in order to include malignancy as probable diagnosis, thus guiding the selection of patients for more invasive procedures. Keywords: pleural effusion, CEA, cytology 2.3. Statistical analysis Non parametric analysis wes used to make group comparation. Differences between two independent groups were determinated by means of the Man Whitney U test. In an attemp to establish a sensitivity-specifity relationship, reciever-operating characteristic (ROC) curves was constructed, using values levels of CEA in patients with malignant pleural effusion, and patients with benign pleural effusion as controls. Valus of p less than 0,05 were considered as significant. 3. Results Of 82 subjects, 41 (group I) had a malignant, and 41 (group II) had non malign pleural effusion. A detailed account of the etiology is presented in table 1.Of 41 patients with malignant pleural effusion, 21 subjects (51,2%) were male, and 20 (48,8%) were female.

Introduction Pleural effusion is common problem in clinical practice. The differential diagnose is diverse, but most common cases include malignancy, congestive hurt failure, tuberculous and pneumonia related effusion (1). Malignant pleural effusion can be initial presentation of the disease in 10-50% of patients (2). Cytology is standard method for the diagnosis of malignant effusion, but sensitivity of cithology is 40-80%, depending of tumor tipes (3). Altrough thoracoscopy can establish the diagnosis in aproximately 90% of patients with malignancy (4), this procedure may not be available at all facillites, or may be to invasive for patients with poor performance.

Effects on renal vasculature can be evaluated by color Doppler ultrasonography measuring renal resistive index (RI). This prospective study aimed to determine the influence of number of delivered SW-s, used kV and changes in renal resistive index. Patients and Methods: Total of 60 normotensive patients, 38 males (63%) and 22 females (37%), with renal stones 6-18 mm in size were included in this study. Median age was 42.3 years (range 22-55). RI was measured at interlobar artery before, 1, 3, 5 and 30 days after treatment on treated and contra lateral non-treated kidney. Patients were divided in two groups: Group I (N=25) received 2000SWs; 0-2 units; (0,5 unit each 500SWs) Group II (N=35) received 4000SWs, 0-4 units; (0,5 unit each 500SWs). Results: In treated kidneys RI significantly increased first and second day after treatment from 0,62±0,05 at baseline to 0,67±0,05, p<0,001 at first and 0,66±0,05, p<0,007 on the second day after treatment. Increase of RI seven days after treatment is not significant (0,62±0,05). The contra lateral, non-treated kidney showed significant changes in RI only first day after treatment (0,64±0,05), p<0,01. One month after the treatment RI is on normal values in both kidneys. Conclusions: Resistive index -RI is important parameter in evaluation of renal vasculature. Patients treated by ESWL showed a temporary increase in RI two days after the treatment and only first day in contra lateral non-treated kidney - probably caused by release of substance with vasoconstriction properties (need further investigations). Keywords: extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy, renal stones, color Doppler ultrasonography, renal resistive index tient was 2000 to 4000 SW-s. The mean maximum 0 to 4 units (energy steps loaded in kV, voltage was 21.6 kV (range 19–22 kV). Colour Doppler examinations were performed on a Siemens Sonoline G40 using a 3.75-MHz convex transducer. In the study group, measurements were made in the renal interlobar arteries before, first, second, seventh and thirty days after ESWL. For renal stones, measurements were made in the vicinity of the stones (nearby region), at a distance of at least 2 cm from the stones (remote region) and in the contra lateral kidney. Measurements were made when three similar waves were registered sequentially. Measurements were repeated three times for each region, and the RI value recorded for each region was the arithmetic mean of these three measurements. Vascular resistance was determined at an artery of renal parenchyma with the help of pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound. To eliminate the problem of angle correction the RI was calculated by the equation: (systolic peak velocityend diastolic peak velocity) / systolic peak velocity. The paired t-test, a parametric test, was used to compare RI values at 1,2,7 days and 30 days post-ESWL with preESWL values in the renal stones group. The paired t-test was also used to compare RI values in the nearby and remote regions with those in the contra lateral kidney for the pre-ESWL measurement and both post-ESWL measurements. 22 females(37%) with renal stones size 6-18mm, who underwent ESWL. Their ages ranged from 22 to 55 years, with mean ages of 42,3 years. Stones were diagnosed by means of i.v. urography (IVU), X-ray and ultrasonography.

OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) hase become a routine methode for treatement of upper urinary tract stone disease. It is effective and minimal invasive treatment for the most urinary stones, but also with significant acute renal injuries and longterm complications (1,2,3). At present, extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is used in the treatment of 90% of all renal stones . Although its reliability and efficacy have been demonstrated, there are a number of studies concerning post-ESWL complications (4,5). However, major life-threatening complications are rare in either the early or late phase. Many techniques have been used to investigate the effects of ESWL on the kidneys, one of which involves measurement of the resistive index (RI) in the renal interlobar arteries using Doppler, a non-invasive diagnostic technique (6). In this study, colour Doppler ultrasonography was used to determine whether interlobar RI values were affected in patients treated with ESWL for renal stones.

No significant difference in RI values was determined in the ipsilateral and contra lateral kidneys before and 2,7 days and 30 days after the ESWL procedure in patients with renal stones (p > 0.05). RI was measured in all patients with renal stones 30 days after ESWL; there was no statistically significant difference between these values and pre-ESWL values in either the ipsilateral or contra lateral kidney. MED ARH 2009; 63(3) • ORIGINALNI ČLANCI / ORIGINAL PAPERS The safety and efficacy of ESWL has been proved by a number of studies investigating acute renal injuries from ESWL by various techniques (7,8,9,10). ESWL has been used since the 1980s for the treatment of urolithiasis, and its efficacy and reliability have been established. A number of methods have been used to investigate post-ESWL changes in the kidney, including IVU, ultrasonography, CT, MRI, radionucleide renography and serum and urine analyses. Although complications necessitating surgery, such as hematoma, are rare, MRI studies have revealed post-ESWL change rates as high as 74%. In studies of the effects of ESWL on renal RI using Doppler ultrasonography, a non-invasive method, measurements have been made at different times post-ESWL (11,12,13). The present study demonstrated that the RI of treated kidneys significantly increased after ESWL. As result of cellular infiltration and oedema formed around the peripheral branches of renal arteries, perivascular tissue thickening may occur and vascular resistance may therefore increase (14,15). In the present study, we found increased RI values at least 2 cm from the stones at 1 day and 2 day post-ESWL on ipsilateral kidney and 1.day on contra lateral kidney. Interestingly, although there was no difference between pre-ESWL and 7 days and 30 days post-ESWL values in the nearby region and the contra lateral kidney. Effects of Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy on Renal Vasculature and Renal Resistive Index (RI) 5. CONCLUSION The RI has proved to be a sensitive tool for monitoring vascular and tubulointestinals diseases of the kidney. It is widely used to detect intrarenal oedema, which occurs transplant rejection, acute tubular necrosis and obstructive pyelocaliectasis. In all conditions RI levels greater than 0,7 are considered to indicate pathologic change. In conclusion, there is a temporary increase in RI values in the first and second day following ESWL in the ipsilateral kidneys, which is most marked in the region near the renal stones. RI in contra lateral kidney is most market first day following ESWL. RI values return to normal within 7 day and 30 day after ESWL in ipsilatreal kidney and for contra lateral kidney RI values returns to base line 2 day post ESWL. ESWL did not indicate pathological RI changes in treated and non treated kidney. REFERENCES 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 1. Aoki Y, Ishitoya S, Okubo K, et al.

Prostorna distribucija pokazala je najveću zastupljenost pacijenata iz Tuzle, Lukavca i Živinica. Procenat liječene djece iz ovih općina bio je značajno iznad procenta koje su ove općine zauzimale u ukupnoj populaciji. Sezonska distribucija bolnički liječene djece zbog bronhoopstrukcije statistički značajno se razlikovala u dvije posmatrane grupe općina i u dva perioda sezone grijanja. Polutanti aerozagađenja, sumpordioksid i taložna prašina, bili su značajno viših vrijednosti u sezoni grijanja u odnosu na sezonu bez grijanja.

Many studies have found associations between increase of respiratory diseases and air pollution. The aim of this paper was to establish possible connection between children hospital admission trends for bronchial obstruction and levels of measured concentration of air pollution agents in Tuzla Canton area. The results of investigation demonstrated that the distribution of hospital admissions of children with bronchial obstruction was different regarding place of inhabitants and season. Spatial distribution demonstrated that the highest number of children treated for bronchial obstruction was from Tuzla, Lukavac and Živinice. The incidence of patients from these municipalities was significantly above the participation of these municipalities in total population. Seasonal distribution of hospital admissions of children with bronchial obstruction was different for single municipalities of Tuzla Canton and for different seasons. Air pollutants, sulfur oxide and dust deposition were significantly higher for heating season compared to season without heating. There is a link between frequency of hospital admission for bronchial obstruction and level of measured air pollutants. Key words: bronchial obstruction, hospital admission trends, air pollution, childhood 1. UVOD Prevalenca bronhoopstrukcije kod djece u stalnom je porastu u svim uzrasnim kategorijama i po globalnim podacima (1). Prema većini istraživanja, oko 50% djece ima barem jednu epizodu bronhoopstrukcije u prvih 6 godina života (2). Genetska predispozicija ima neosporan značaj, a izloženost određenim okolinskim faktorima u ranom djetinjstvu može ubrzati nastanak ranih simptoma (1, 2). Brojne studije izvještavaju o porastu prevalence bronhoopstrukcije kroz trend prvih hospitalizacija, od kojih i do 75% su djeca ispod 4 godine, a preko 60% dječaci (3). Većina autora govori o značajnom opadanju ponovnih hospitalizacija, što se pripisuje unapređenju liječenja (4, 5). Sezonske varijacije trenda hospitalizacije djece zbog 146 bronhoopstrukcije bilježe porast broja liječenih najčešće u jesen i zimu, a u većini studija najmanji broj liječenih bilježi se u ljetnjim mjesecima (6, 7, 8). Autori to objašnjavaju sezonskim varijacijama uvjeta okoline, kao što su aerozagađenje i sezonske virusne infekcije. Studije koje izvještavaju o geografskim varijacijama incidence i prevalence respiratornih oboljenja, razlike u učestalosti respiratornih oboljenja za pojedina područja vezuju uz ambijentalne uvjete sredine, prije svega nivo aerozagađenja (9, 10). Brojne studije dovode u vezu stalni porast respiratornih oboljenja i aerozagađenje. Izloženost polutantima aerozagađenja (taložna prašina, sumpor dioksid, azotdioksid i ozon) i njen efekat na zdravlje bila je predmet istraživanja brojnih epidemioloških studija (9, 10, 11, 12, MED ARH 2009; 63(3) • ORIGINALNI ČLANCI / ORIGINAL PAPERS 13). Značajno veća prevalenca bronhitisa i perzistentnog kašlja, posebno kod mlađe djece i češće kod dječaka, dovodi se u pozitivnu povezanost sa izmjerenim nivoom taložne prašine kao polutanta aerozagađenja (14). Značajan porast prijema u bolnicu kod djece zbog respiratornih oboljenja u svim starosnim grupama, gdje dominira pneumonija i bronhitis kod djece mlađe od 4 godine, a astma kod djece u grupi 5-14 godina, dovodi se u vezu sa izmjerenim nivoom polutanata aerozagađenja, taložne prašine, azotdioksida i sumpordioksida (15). Većina studija istražuje aerozagađenje uzrokovano saobraćajem (16, 17, 18 ). Tuzlanski kanton je najveći kanton u Federaciji Bosne i Hercegodine. Površine je 2792 km2 što čini 10,6 % ukupne površine Federacije, i ima 611 000 stanovnika što je 26 % ukupnog stanovništva Federacije (19). Od toga 91 491 čine djeca uzrasta do 15 godina. Tuzlanski kanton ima najveću gustinu naseljenosti u Bosni i Hercegovini, koja iznosi 203 stanovnika na km2, što je dvostruko više od presjeka Bosne i Hercegovine. Smatra se najzagađenijim kantonom Bosne i Hercegovine (19). Sva toplotna i električna energija u Tuzlanskom kantonu dobija se sagorijevanjem fosilnih goriva, i to uglavnom uglja, koji u ovom području sadrži visok procenat sumpordioksida (19). Na području Tuzlanskog kantona 2003. godine uspostavljen je Sistem za praćenje kvaliteta zraka kojim se vrši automatski monitoring koncentracije osnovnih pokazatelja kvaliteta zraka i meteoroloških podataka. Sistem se sastoji od pet fiksnih i jedne mobilne imisione stanice, koje su opremljene mjernim uređajima za mjerenje koncentracija pet polutanata aerozagađenja (sumpordioksid, azotdioksid, ozon, ugljenmonoksid i taložna prašina); meteoroloških podataka (temperatura zraka, brzina vjetra, pravac vjetra, pritisak, sunčevo zračenje i količina padavina), te centralne jedinice (server) za prikupljanje, pohranjivanje i obradu rezultata mjerenja. Vođenje i održavanje Sistema za praćenje kvaliteta zraka i informiranje javnosti o kvalitetu zraka je u nadležnosti Ministarstva prostornog uređenja i zaštite okolice i provodi se u skladu sa Zakonom o zaštiti zraka, Pravilnikom o graničnim vrijednostima kvaliteta zraka i Pravilnikom o monitoringu kvaliteta zraka Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine, te u skladu sa međunarodnim ugovorima.

REZULTATI RADA Broj oboljelih Analiza se bazirala na populaciji pacijenata liječenih zbog bronhoopstrukcije u Odjeljenju intenzivne njege Klinike za dječije bolesti u Tuzli u periodu od 01. 01. 2006. do 31.12. 2006. godine. Svi odabrani pacijenti bili su sa područja Tuzlanskog kantona. Izvor podataka za ovo istraživanje bili su Protokoli prijema u Kliniku za dječije bolesti i Protokol Odjeljenja intenzivne njege Klinike za dječije bolesti, kao i historije bolesti liječene djece. Istražen je trend hospitalizacije djece zbog bronhoopstrukcije u odnosu na dob, spol, mjesto stanovanja i sezonu. U istraživanju je korištena i druga baza podataka dobijena iz aktuelnog Izvještaja Ministarstva prostornog uređenja Vlade Tuzlanskog kantona o kvalitetu zraka na području Tuzlanskog kantona sa mjernih stanica Sistema za praćenje kvaliteta zraka za period koji obuhvata istraživanje (20). Praćene su maksimalne, minimalne i prosječne dnevne vrijednosti pet pokazatelja kvaliteta zraka: sumpordioksida, azotdioksida, ugljenmonoksida, ozona i taložne prašine sa pet fiksnih mjernih imisionih stanica i jedne mobilne imisione stanice. Općine Tuzla, Lukavac i Živinice, u ovom Izvještaju ocijenjene kao općine posebno izložene aerozagađenju, označene kao općine Grupe jedan. Analizirani rezultati za ove općine upoređeni su sa zbirnim podacima za ostale općine Tuzlanskog kantona koje su u istraživanju označene kao općine Grupe dva. U statističkoj obradi podataka korištene su standardne metode deskriptivne statistike (mjere centralne tendence, mjere disperzije). Za testiranje značajnosti razlika medju uzorcima korišteni su parametarski i neparametarski testovi signifikantnosti (X²-test, Studentov t-test) kao i metoda linearne korelacije. Statističke hipoteze su testirane na nivou signifikantnosti od α = 0,05, tj. razlika među uzorcima smatra se značajnom a koje p < 0,05. 32,8 Lu 2. ISPITANICI I METODE RADA 35,0 Tu vac i Živinice ocijenjene su kao općine posebno izložene aerozagađenju, jer pritisak na kvalitet zraka u promatranom razdoblju uglavnom je dolazio iz izvora sa područja ove tri općine. Cilj ovog rada bio je da se istraži moguća povezanost trenda hospitalizacije djece zbog bronhoopstrukcije tokom 2006. godine i visine izmjerenih koncentracija polutanata aerozagađenja na području Tuzlanskog kantona.

Sezonska distribucija liječene djece u dvije grupe općina imale u ukupnoj populaciji djece do 6 godina. U općinama Grupe dva (ostale općine Tuzlanskog kantona) bio je značajno manji procenat liječene djece u odnosu na procenat koji su ove općine imale u ukupnoj populaciji djece do 6 godina za područje Tuzlanskog kantona prema demografskim podacima važećim za period istraživanja. Razlika među grupama označena je statistički značajnom sa p < 0,0001 (grafikon 2). Broj djece liječene u Odjeljenju intenzivne njege zbog bronhoopstrukcije bio je različit tokom godine i po mjesecima. Najveći broj djece zabilježen je u mjesecu decembru, a najmanji u julu i augustu. Na sljedećem grafikonu prikazana je korelacija broja liječenih pacijenata i sezone. Broj liječenih se značajno povećavao u zimskom periodu sa p<0,009 (grafikon 3). Sezonska distribucija hospitalizacije djece zbog bronhoopstrukcije istražena je u dvije posmatrane grupe općina Tuzlanskog kantona: Grupa jedan (Tuzla, Lukavac i Živinice) i Grupe dva (ostale općine Tuzlanskog kantona). Sezonski trend hospitalizacije bio je različit u dvije posmatrane grupe općina (grafikon 4). Broj liječene djece iz općina Grupe jedan (Tuzla, Lukavac i Živinice ) bio je veći u odnosu na broj liječene djece iz općina Grupe dva (ostale općine Tuzlanskog kantona) tokom većeg dijela godine. Uočena su dva sezonska perioda tokom kojih je bio veći broj liječene djece iz općina Grupe jedan. To su bili periodi od januara do aprila, te period od oktobra do decembra.

Postojale su razlike u broju liječene djece iz općina Grupe jedan u dva sezonska perioda. U sezoni grijanja bilo je značajno više liječene djece iz općina Grupe jedan u odnosu na period bez grijanja. Razlika u broju liječene djece u dva sezonska perioda za općine Grupe jedan označena je statistički značajnom (p<0,0001). U općinama Grupe dva nije postojalo značajno odstupanje u broju hospitalizirane djece u dva sezonska perioda. U istraživanju su analizirani maksimalne, minimalne i prosječne dnevne vrijednosti pet pokazatelja kvaliteta zraka, sumpordioksida, azotdioksida, ugljenmonoksida, ozona i taložne prašine na području Tuzlanskog kantona za period koji obuhvata istraživanje. Od pet pokazatelja kvaliteta zraka prekoračenje dozvoljenih vrijednosti zabilježena su za sumpordioksid i taložnu prašinu, a prekoračenja dozvoljenih vrijednosti za ova dva polutanta aerozagađenja zabilježena tokom posmatranog jednogodišnjeg perioda, bila su u mjesecima koji odgovaraju sezoni grijanja. Upoređene su izmjerene prekoračene vrijednosti sumpordioksida i taložne prašine u dva sezonska perioda: u sezoni grijanja i sezoni bez grijanja (grafikon 6).

U toku uobičajene sezone bez grijanja od maja do septembra, zabilježen je veći broj liječene djeca iz općina Grupe dva (ostale općine Tuzlanskog kantona).

DISKUSIJA u odnosu na odrasle za iste vrijednosti Uticaj aerozagađenja na zdravlje vanjskih koncentracija pojedinih polutapredmet je brojnih studija zadnjih 50nata aerozagađenja (13). To se posebno Zagadjenost Broj djece odnosi na ozon, koji je produkt fotohemijske reakcije u atmosferi, tako da pokazuje jake sezonske i dnevne varijacije: Povišen je ljeti i poslijepodne, a nizak je zimi, noću i rano ujutro. Unutrašnji prostori, naročito klimatizirani, smatraju se zaštićenim. Suprotno tome, taložne čestice, posebno finije, prodiru u unutrašnje prostore i ne podliježu hemijskim promjenama kao ozon ili sumpordioksid (31). Ljetnje epizode aerozagađenja i efekti na zdravlje vezuju se za ozon; a u epizodama zimskog aerozagađenja pogoršanje kliničkih simptoma i plućne funkcije u djece sa astmom vezuje se za nivo taložnih čestica (13). Dnevne varijacije polutanata aerozagađenja utiču na trend hospitalizacije zbog respiratornih bolesti. Najviše se izvještava o pogoršanju astme, povećanoj incidenci bronhitisa i pneumonije (32, 33). U našem istraživanju 76,5% hospitalizirane djece bilo je mlađe od 5 godina, a 60 % bili su dječaci. Brojne studije daju slične rezultate o dobnoj i spolnoj distribuciji hospitalizirane djece zbog bronhoopstrukcije (6, 34). Razlike u učestalosti respiratornih bolesti u različitim područjima uglavnom se vezuju uz ambijentalne prilike. Oyana i Rivers (9) objavili su 2005. godine rezultate istraživanja trenda hospitalizacije zbog bronhoopstrukcije pacijenata uzrasta od 0-18 godina za područje grada Bafalo i okoline. Rezultati su pokazali signifikantno veći broj pacijenata iz istočnih dijelova ovog područja u odnosu na zapadne dijelove što se objašnjava postojećim izvorima saobraćajnog, industrijskog i ostalog aerozagađenja. Eroshina i saradnici MED ARH 2009; 63(3) • ORIGINALNI ČLANCI / ORIGINAL PAPERS 149 Aerozagađenje i trend hospitalizacije djece zbog bronhoopstrukcije na području Tuzlanskog kantona (10) objavili su 2004. godine slične rezultate za područje Moskve i okoline. U našem istraživanju značajno veći broj hospitaliziranih bio je iz općina koje su evidentno bile više izložene aerozagađenju. Brojne studije provedene u Evropi, Americi i Australiji osamdesetih i devedesetih observirale su dnevni trend hospitalizacije zbog respiratornih bolesti u poređenju sa dnevnim kretanjem nivoa aerozagađenja i zabilježile o porast prijema u danima visokog aerozagađenja (13, 35). Pope (32) je analizirao hospitalizaciju djece zbog respiratornih bolesti u Utahu tokom 3 godine u vezi sa višemjesečnim prekidom rada čeličane, najvećeg zagađivača u tom području. Rezultati su pokazali da je za više od 50% opao prijem djece u bolnicu zbog astme i pneumonije u periodu u kojem je čeličana bila zatvorena i u kojem je aerozagađenje bilo niže. Narednih godina, nakon prekida štrajka, trend hospitalizacije je ponovo porastao. Susjedna područja, gdje čeličana nije imala uticaja, nisu imala kolebanja nivoa aerozagađenja niti trenda hospitalizacije. U našem istraživanju analiza dnevnih kolebanja pet glavnih pokazatelja aerozagađenja zabilježila je prekoračenje dozvoljenih vrijednosti za sumpordioksid i taložnu prašinu. Ova prekoračenja uglavnom su bila u mjesecima koji odgovaraju sezoni grijanja. Trend hospitalizacije pacijenata slagao se sa stepenom izloženosti aerozagađenju. Glavni zagađivači na ovom području su izvori toplotne i električne energija koja u Tuzlanskom kantonu potiče od sagorijevanja fosilnih goriva, uglavnom uglja, koji sadrži visok procenat sumpordioksida. Slično istraživanje proveli su Barnet i saradnici (15) tokom tri godine u pet velikih gradova Australije i Novog Zelanda, što čini preko 50 % ukupne populacije ovog regiona. Analizirana je povezanost aerozagađenja i trenda hospitalizacije djece zbog respiratornih oboljenja. Signifikantan porast hospitalizacije djece zbog pneumonije i akutnog bronhitisa zabilježen je u dobnoj skupini od 0–5 godina; te astme u dobnoj skupini od 5–14 godina. Ovaj porast bio je signifikantno povezan sa nivoom taložne prašine, azotdioksida i sumpordioksida. Postoje dokazi da reduciranje aerozagađenja ima povoljan efekat na zdravlje, reducira se broj hospitalizacija, broj pogoršanja astme i drugih respiratornih bolesti, te popravlja plućna funkcija ispitanika (32, 36, 37, 38). Osim spomenute 150 studije iz Utaha, postoji i novija studija provedena u Atlanti tokom olimpijskih igara, zbog kojih je saobraćaj u tom periodu bio planski reduciran. Rezultati su pokazali opadanje epizoda pogoršanja astme u periodu reduciranog saobraćaja i aerozagađenja (36). Nedavna studija u Istočnoj Njemačkoj pokazala je da redukcija aerozagađenja dovodi do smanjenja respiratornih bolesti i simptoma u djece (37). Poboljšanje praćene plućne funkcije evidentirano je u djece koja su promijenila mjesto boravka i napustila područja visokog aerozagađenja (38). Sve ove studije imaju veliki značaj zbog evidentnog dokaza da intrvencija u pravcu popravljanja ambijentalnih uvjeta ima povoljne efekte na zdravlje. 7. 8. 9. 10. 5. ZAKLJUČCI Trend hospitalizacije djece zbog bronhoopstrukcije u Tuzlanskom kantonu imao je različitu sezonsku i prostornu distribuciju. Dominirala su djeca uzrasta do 5 godina uz prednost dječaka. Broj liječenih bio je statistički značajno veći u zimskim mjesecima. Sezonski trend hospitalizacije bio je različit za pojedine općine Tuzlanskog kantona i zavisno od sezone grijanja. Polutanti aerozagađenja, sumpordioksid i taložna prašina, bili su značajno viših vrijednosti u sezoni grijanja u odnosu na sezonu bez grijanja. Utvrđena je povezanost trenda hospitalizacije djece zbog bronhoopstrukcije i dnevnih varijacija polutanata aerozagađenja. LITERATURA 1.

Cilj rada je pokazati utjecaj simvastatina na postoperativni tok, laboratorijske nalaze i postoperativne perikardijalne izljeve kod pacijenata operiranih radi ugradnje aortokoronarnih premoštenja. Materijal i metode: U studiju je uključeno 80 pacijenata sa koronarnom arterijskom bolesti. Svi pacijenti su podijeljeni u dvije grupe: ispitivanu grupu od 40 pacijenata sa koronarnom ishemijskom bolesti, operiranih radi ugradnje aortokoronarnog premoštenja, koji su primali uobičajenu kardiohiruršku postoperativnu terapiju, uz dodatak simvastatinske terapije u količini od 40mg. simvastatina dnevno, u periodu od 8. sata nakon extubacije pacijenta do 14. postoperativnog dana, i kontrolnu skupinu od 40 pacijenata sa koronarnom ishemijskom bolesti, operiranih radi ugradnje aortokoronarnog premoštenja tretiranih uobičajenom postoperativnom kardiohirurškom terapijom. U radu su evaluirani demografski podaci, operativni izvještaji, laboratorijski postoperativni parametri, te ehokardiografski pregledi tokom dvodnevnih postoperativnih perioda praćenja perikardijalnih izljeva. Podaci su statistički evaluirani korištenjem statističkog programa SPSS. Parametrijski podaci bili su testirani Studentovim T-testom, dok su neparametrijski podaci obrađeni X² testom i proporcijama. Korišten je i Mann-Whitney U test uz CI: 95% tj. nivo signifikantnosti p<0.05. Rezultati: Naše istraživanje je pokazalo da simvastatini u dozi od 40mg/24.h. djeluju efektno u postoperativnom periodu na smanjenje vrijednosti lipida i signifikantno smanjenje postoperativnih perikardijalnih izljeva mjereno tokom dvodnevnog perioda u toku trećeg i četrnaestog postoperativnog dana (p<0.037, p<0.01). Zaključak: Statinska terapija u dozi od 40mg/24.h je u našoj studiji aplicirana bez sporednih efekata i bez interakcija sa drugim postoperativno upotrebljenim lijekovima. Statini su pokazali dobar antiinflamatorni učinak na ovako ograničenom broju pacijenata. Statinska terapija bi se, uz ostalu postopeartivnu terapiju, trebala obavezno nastavljati u ranom kardiohirurškom postoperativnom periodu. Antiinflamatorno dejstvo statina potrebno je i dalje ispitivati, i to na mnogo većoj skupini pacijenata. O antiinflamatornom dejstvu hipolipemika nema do sada velikih studija koje bi odagnale svaku sumnju u antiinflamatorno dejstvo hipolipemika. Posebno treba istaći da nema velikih studija koje bi istraživale antiinflamatorno dejstvo hipolipemika na primjeru postperikardiotomnih perikardijalnih izljeva. Ključne rijeći: simvastatin, aortokoronarno premoštenje, perikardijalni izljevi Original paper SUMMARY Aim: There are no previous data about the anti-inflammatory effects of hypolipemic agents, statins, in patients after aortocoronary bypass grafting. The aim of this study was to demonstrate effects of simvastatine on postoperative treatment, laboratory findings and pericardial effusion during postoperative period, in patients after aortocoronary bypass grafting procedures. Material and methods: The study included 80 patients with coronary arterial disease divided in two groups. The study group included 40 patients with coronary ischemic disease subjected to surgical implantation of aortocoronary bypass graft who received standard cardio-surgical postoperative treatment supplemented with 40 mg of simvastatine per day, starting at 8 hours after the patient’s extubation until postoperative 14th day. The control group included 40 patients after aortocoronary bypass grafting procedures with standard intensive postoperative treatment. Evaluation included demographic data, surgical reports, postoperative laboratory parameters and echocardiography findings, taken during two days monitoring of postoperative pericardial effusion. Statistical data analysis was conducted using SPSS software. Parametric data were evaluated using Student T-test, while non-parametric data were processed using X2 test and proportion analysis. Mann-Whitney U test was applied with CI of 95%, i.e. significance level p<0.05. Results: No significant differences were found between the observed groups with regards to demographic data, number of the implanted aortocoronary bypasses and postoperative laboratory parameters. However, the differences in echocardiographically determined dimensions of postoperative pericardial effusions measured during two days of postoperative observation (between the 3rd and the 14th day postoperative) were significant (p<0.037, p<0.01). Conclusion: In our study, statin therapy consisting of 40 mg/24 hrs was applied with no side effects and without interaction with the other postoperatively applied medications. Simvastatins, applied in the dosage of 40 mg/24 hrs, efficiently lead to significant reduction of postoperative pericardial effusions in postoperative period. In this limited group of patients, statins have exhibited good anti-inflammatory effects. Statins with standard therapy ought to be included in the early cardio-surgical postoperative period. Anti-inflammatory activities of statins should be further investigation on much larger patient sample. So far, there is no record of a large study of anti-inflammatory activities of hypolipemic agents that could waive the doubts into their effectiveness. It needs to be stressed that no large studies of anti-inflammatory activities of hypolipemic agents in cases of postoperative pericardial effusion were ever conducted.

UVOD Perikardiotomija je uobičajeni postupak kod svih kardiohirurških operacija, neophodan da bi se pristupilo operativnom polju. Kod kardiovaskularnih pacijenata hirurška intervencija na perikardu u okviru operacije aorto-koronarnog premoštenja izaziva njegovu inflamatornu reakciju, koja se u postoperativnim danima, kod nekih pacijenata, izražava kao postoperativni perikardijalni izljev. Uobičajeno se ova reakcija događa u oko 10 do 40% pacijenata, pa sve do čak 64% operiranih kardiohirurških pacijenata, češće kod valvularnih, nego kod bolesnika sa koronarnom arterijskom bolesti (1). 2. CILJ RADA Kod pacijenata poslije kardiohirurškog operativnog zahvata ugradnje koronarnog arterijskog bypassa evaluirati utjecaj simvastatina u dozi od 40mg/24.h. u ranom kardiohirurškom postoperativnom periodu od 8.h. poslije intubacije do 14. postoperativnog dana. 3. METODE RADA U radu su korištene sljedeće tehnike: •• Lični i anamnestički podaci (ime, prezime, godina rođenja, spol, prethodno preležale bolesti). •• Operativni izvještaj (vrsta urađene kardiohirurške operacije, broj i vrsta ugrađenih aorto-koronarnih premoštenja). •• Klinički postoperativni pregled (parametri RR i pulsa, te auskultatorni pregled srca i pluća, RTG pluća i srca). •• Laboratorijski nalazi (KS, ŠUK, transaminaze, CK, urea i kreatinin, holesterol i trigliceridi) prvog, trećeg, sedmog postoperativnog dana i 14 dana nakon operacije. •• Ehokardiografski pregled pacijenata, u cilju evaluacije postojanja, veličine, lokalizacije i progresije razvoja postperikardiotomnog perikardijalnog izljeva i to: •• Dvodnevni ehokardiografski pregledi u periodu od prvog postoperativnog dana do sedmog postoperativnog dana i to od dva kardiologa, kako bi se umanjila intraobserverska greška. •• Ehokardiografska kontrola perikardijalnog izljeva na dan 14 to dnevne, na isti način kao u prvim periodima. Svi dobijeni podaci su uzeti od paci- Uticaj statina na postoperativni tretman pacijenata operiranih radi ugradnje aortokoronarnih premoštenja jenata nakon što su informirani o vrsti studije i njihovom učeću u njoj, i nakon što su dali svoj pismeni pristanak za uzimanje terapije. Podaci su se prikupljali iz pregleda dva kardiologa prospektivno u periodu od 1 godine i to prema rednom broju prijema pacijenta, tako su se pacijenti pod parnim brojevima prijemnog protokola svrstavali u ispitivanu grupu (grupu A), dok su oni pod neparnim brojem prijemnog protokola činili kontrolnu grupu ili grupu B. Statinska terapija se dodjeljivala pacijentima grupe A, tako, da kardiolozi koji procijenjuju veličinu postoperativno izraženog perikardijalnog izljeva ne znaju koji pacijenti primaju statinsku terapiju, a koji ne. Prospektivno dobijeni rezultati statistički su evaluirani korištenjem statističkog programa SPSS. Parametrijski podaci bili su testirani Studentovim T-testom, dok su neparametrijski podaci obrađeni X² testom i proporcijama. Korišten je i Mann-Whitney U test, uz CI: 95% tj. nivo signifikantnosti p<0.05. 4. REZULTATI RADA Prosječna starost ispitanika iznosila je 57.g. +/- 8,36. Najmlađi ispitanika imao je 42 godine, a najstariji 74 godina. Nije bilo signifikantne razlike među grupama u odnosu na starost i spol pacijenata. Klinički je bila najzastupljeniji simptom stabilne angine pectoris a bez signifikantne razlike među grupama (p=0.539). Nije postojala signifikantna razlika među grupama u pogledu preoperativno ordinirane statinske terapije i taj procenat je iznosio u ispitivanoj grupi 45% (18 pacijenata) na statinskoj terapiji, u odnosu na 47% (19 pacijenata) u kontrolnoj grupi. Nije postojala signifikantna razlika među grupama u pogledu broja ugrađenih aortokoronarnih premoštenja. U poređenju laboratorijskih nalaza nije bilo signifikantnosti među grupama u odnosu na: Er, Le, ŠUK, CK, AST, ALT, Ureu, kreatinin, holesterol i trigliceride. Neinvazivna dijagnostika (Ehokardiografski podaci) Prije evaluacije perikardijalnog izljeva odredili smo brojevima područja ispred određenih zidova i veličinu perikardijalnih izljeva. Dobili smo signifikane razlike između ispitivane i kontrolne skupine u odnosu na parametar postojanja ili odsustva postoperativnog perikardijalnog izljeva. Ta se signifikan- Lab. Param.

MED ARH 2009; 63(3) • ORIGINALNI ČLANCI / ORIGINAL PAPERS 153 Uticaj statina na postoperativni tretman pacijenata operiranih radi ugradnje aortokoronarnih premoštenja 5. DISKUSIJA U naše istraživanje uključeno je 80 ispitanika, podijeljenih u dvije skupine. Prva ili ispitivana skupina sastojala se od 40 pacijenata, sa kardiovaskularnom bolešću operiranih radi ugradnje aortokoronarnog premoštenja (bypass-a), a koji su postoperativno primali uz uobičajenu postoperativnu kardiohiruršku terapiju i 40 mg. simvastatina jednom u 24.h. i to počevši od osmog postoperativnog sata, pa do posljednje kontrole, tj. do dana otpusta, odnosno, 7-10 dana nakon kardiohirurškog zahvata. Druga kontrolna skupina sačinjena je od 40 pacijenata sa kardiovaskularnom bolešću, operiranih radi ugradnje aortokoronarnog bypass-a, koji su postoperativno primali uobičajenu postoperativnu kardiohiruršku terapiju. U grupama nije bilo signifikantnih razlika, kako prema godinama, tako i prema spolu. Osnovna tegoba koju su pacijenti osjećali je anginozna bol po stabilnom tipu u oko 65% pacijenata. Nije bilo značajne razlike u vrsti i kvaliteti simptoma među pojedinim grupama. Tako su vrijednosti hematokrita i hemoglobina snižene na donje referentne granice, osobito u prvima postoperativnim danima, a kao posljedica kardiohirurškog perioperativnog krvarenja. Neposredno nakon operativnog zahvata kratkotrajno su bile povišene vrijednosti kreatin kinaze i CRP-a kao reakcija na oštećenje tkiva i posljedični inflamatorni odgovor. Iz istog razloga u tom periodu jako su povećane i transaminaze, dok su urea i kreatinin ostajali u normalnim granicama ili su bili blago povišeni. Nakon sedmog dana došlo je do normalizacije svih navedenih vrijednosti laboratorijskih parametara u obje skupine pacijenata, premda su pacijenti iz ispitivane grupe nastavljali da uzimaju statinsku terapiju. Lipidogram je bio u referentnim granicama, ali je primjećen blagi pad razine holesterola i triglicerida u periodima trećeg i sedmog postoperativnog dana, što se može pripisati uz dejstvo statina i poremećenoj prehrani pacijenata u ranom postoperativnom periodu. Broj ugrađenih bypass-a nije se razlikovao po pojedinim skupinama, a najviše je bilo pacijenata sa ugrađena tri aortokoronarna bypass-a (63%) potom onih sa dva (34%), dok su samo dva pacijenta dobila jednostruki aortokoronarni bypass (3%).

MED ARH 2009; 63(3) • ORIGINALNI ČLANCI / ORIGINAL PAPERS Uticaj statina na postoperativni tretman pacijenata operiranih radi ugradnje aortokoronarnih premoštenja Imamo i oznake tri različita perioda ehokardiografskih praćenja veličine perikardijalnih izljeva, tj. 1= prvi postoperativni dan, 2= treći do peti postoprativni dan, 3= dan otpusta (obično 7.-10. dan). Veličina izljeva je mjerena u milimetrima i označavana simbolima koji su značili: nema izljeva (0), trivijalni do mali perikardijalni izljevi veličine do 5mm (50-100ml izljeva, u našem radu oznaka 1), mali do umjereni izljev veličine od 5-10mm (govori o malom izljevu od 100200ml., u našem radu oznaka 2), umjereni do veliki izljevi veličine od 10-15mm (250-500ml tekućine, oznaka 3), veliki izljevi veličine 15-20mm (tj. ≥ 500ml, oznaka 4), te izrazito veliki postperikardiotomni izljevi veličine > 20mm uz znake kompresije (oznaka 5) (2). Za ocjenu veličine perikardijalnih izljeva nismo koristili druge radiološke tehnike, kao npr. CT ili MRI, kako zbog tehničkih poteškoća (dužina čekanja pretrage), tako i karakteristike ovih metoda da uveličavaju aktuelnu veličinu izljeva u odnosu na njihovu ehokardiografsku procjenu (3). Prvenstveno smo obratili pažnju na parametar postojanja ili odsustva postoperativnog perikardijalnog izljeva i odnosa tih pokazatelja između ispitivane i kontrolne skupine. Podaci pokazuju da je postojala signifikantnost među skupinama u odnosu na postojanje ili odsustvo perikardijalnog izljeva u područjima lateralnog zida LV-a i ispred apex-a LV-a u svim periodima praćenja, dok je za područje ispred RV-a postojala signifikantnost u drugom i trećem periodu. Za četvrti zid tj. iza i ispod LV-a nismo našli signifikantnost u svezi sa traženim parametrima postojanja ili odsustva postperikardiotomnog perikardijalnog izljeva. Navedene parametre smo prve pratili, jer nam je najvažnije bilo, evaluirati broj pacijenata kod kojih uopće nije bilo izljeva. Nakon toga evaluirali smo veličinu i lokalizaciju postojećih postperikardiotomnih perikardijalnih izljeva. Pošto naša studija obuhvata pacijente kod kojih postperikardiotomni perikardijalni izljevi uobičajeno nisu jako izraženi (mnogo su češći i obimniji kod pacijenata sa implantiranim vještačkim zaliscima, radi postoperativno povećane upotrebe antikoagulantne terapije, nakon hirurgije aortnog puta i transplantacije srca (4). U grupama nismo imali velikih i izrazito velikih postperikardiotomnih perikardijalnih izljeva, tj. pronađeni izljevi nisu prelazili granicu od 15-20mm. Što se tiče signifikantnosti razlika u nalazima kod ispitivane i kontrolne skupine, dobili smo podatke koji ukazuju da je siginifikantna razlika među grupama postojala u prvom periodu (prvi postoperativni dan) u područjima ispred vrha lijeve komore i lateralnog zida, dok u ovom periodu nije postojala signifikantna razlika područjima ispred RV-a i iza i ispod LV-a. U drugom periodu signifikantnost je postojala u svim područjima, sem u području iza i ispod LV-a. U trećem periodu praćenja imali smo istu situaciju, da bi se potpuna nesignifikantnost podataka pokazala u četvrtom periodu, tj. mjeseca dana poslije kardiohirurškog zahvata. Analizirajući ove podatke uvidjeli smo da u radu ne postoji signifikantnost ispred RV-a i iza LV-a. Ova nesiginifikantnost se odnosi prije svega na postoperativne kardiohirurške postupke. Naime, odmah poslije kardiohirurškog zahvata, pa obično do 2 dana nakon operacije plasirani su perikardijalni drenovi prednji, ispred desne komore i drugi stražnji, iza i ispod LV-a. Ovi drenovi bili su razlogom nepostojanja razlike među veličinama postoperativnih perikardijalnih izljeva kod ispitivane i kontrolne skupine, u navedenim područjima dreniranja perikardijalnog prostora. Skrenuli bi sada pažnju na prednosti upotrebe statina, njihov odnos sa drugim lijekovima, te mali broj sporednih efekata u odnosu na druge lijekove koji se upotrebljavaju u tretiranju posperikardiotomnih perikardijalnih izljeva tj. NSAR, diuretika, kortikosteroida i kolhicina. Upotreba statina je u stalnom porastu. Osobito je u posljednje vrijeme izražena potreba uzimanja statina, kako za reguliranje visine vrijednosti kolesterola i triglicerida, tako i za pleiotropne efekte statinske terapije koji nisu zanemarljivi. Posebno je važna potreba statina u grupi kardiovaskularnih pacijenata dijabetičara, čiji je broj u našem radu bio gotovo podjednak u obje skupine pacijenata, tj. 7 pacijenata (18%) u kontrolnoj skupini, u odnosu na 8 pacijenata (19%) u ispitivanoj skupini. Statini koji su predmet intresovanja u ovoj studiji, zaslužuju pažnju u pogledu opravdanosti njihove upotrebe kod ovakvih pacijenata. Njihovo hipolipemijsko dejstvo je već dokazano velikim studijama, a pleiotropni učinci, kao npr. antinflamatorno dejstvo, imu- nomodulatorno dejstvo, efekat na endotelnu funkciju, dejstvo na oksidativni stres, antiprokoagulabilni efekat, antiaterogeno dejstvo i dr. još nisu u punom obimu niti dokazani, a niti su našli punu primjenu (5, 6, 7). Pokazalo se da su se statini u našem radu i prije operativnog zahvata uzimali kod gotovo 50% pacijenata, a podaci iz prakse govore o potrebi mnogo veće upotrebe hipolipemika, osobito kod skupine kardiovaskularnih pacijenata, dijabetičara. Osobno mišljenje je da je potrebno sačekati rezultate studija koje analiziraju upotrebu velikih doza statina, npr. dejstvo atorvastatina u dozi od 80mg/24.h. Nedavno je završena studija sa 40mg atorvastatina, koji je preoperativno uključen u terapiji zajedno sa beta blokerima i amiodaronom kod pacijenata koji su podvrgnuti kardiohirurškoj operaciji i u toj grupi pacijenata došlo je do signifikantnog smanjenja pojave postoperativne atrijalne fibrilacije (8, 9). Statini nemaju izrazitih sporednih efekata, osim miopatije u <1% slučajeva. Interakcije statina sa drugim lijekovima su neznatne ili beznačajne, osobito kada se radi o preparatima za liječenje kardiovaskularnih bolesti. Pošto se metaboliziraju preko CYP3A4 potreban je oprez kod istovremenog uzimanja fibrata i gemfibrozila, amiodarona, diltiazema i drugih nedihidropiridinskih blokera kalcijumskih kanala, nekih antidepresiva, inhibitora HIV proteaze (indavir, mekfinavir, ritonavir, sanquinavir), nekih makrolidnih antibiotika (eritromicina), i ciklosporina. 6. ZAKLJUČCI Naše istraživanje je pokazalo da u ispitivanoj skupini kardiovaskularnih pacijenata u odnosu na kontrolnu skupinu postoji: • Ne postoji signifikantna razlika u odnosu na demografske podatke kliničku sliku i laboratorijske parametre među kontrolnom i ispitivanom skupinom, • Postoji signifikantna razlika u prisustvu i održanju postperikardiotomnih perikardijalnih izljeva u ispitivanoj u odnosu na kontrolnu skupinu, u projekcijama zidova ispred lijevog ventrikula i srčanog vrha, te oko lateralnog zida. • Navedena razlika postoji na pomenutim područjima u svim postoperativnim periodima do 14 postoperativnog dana, • Studija je obradila skupinu pacije- MED ARH 2009; 63(3) • ORIGINALNI ČLANCI / ORIGINAL PAPERS 155 Uticaj statina na postoperativni tretman pacijenata operiranih radi ugradnje aortokoronarnih premoštenja nata koja nije imala izrazito velikih postoperativnih perikardijalnih izljeva, pa su mnogi medikamentozni efekti (a i oni statina) smanjeni, • Statini su pokazali dobar antiinflamatorni učinak na ovako ograničenom broju pacijenata, • Statinska terapija je u našoj studiji aplicirana bez sporednih efekata i bez interakcija sa drugim postoperativno upotrebljenim lijekovima, • Statinska terapija bi se uz ostalu terapiju, trebala obavezno nastavljati u ranom kardiohirurškom postoperativnom periodu, • Antiinf lamatorno dejstvo statina potrebno je i dalje ispitivati, i to na mnogo većoj skupini pacijenata, • O antiinflamatornom dejstvu hipolipemika nema do sada velikih studija koje bi odagnale svaku sumnju u antiinflamatorno dejstvo hipolipemika, • Posebno treba istaći da nema velikih studija koje bi istraživale antiinfla- 156 Lancet, 1999;353:118-9. matorno dejstvo hipolipemika na pri6.

Larisa Gavran1, Olivera Batic-Mujanovic2, Selmira Brkic3, Sabina Nuhbegovic4 Faculty of Health Sciences, University in Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina1 Faculty of Medicine, University in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina2,3,4 Original paper SUMMARY Background: Blood pressure (BP) is one of the important parameters for controlling Diabetes Mellitus (DM). European Society of Cardiology recommended optimal level for DM BP≤130/80mmHg. Aim: We wanted to assess the level of BP for our DM patients after using specific guidelines for DM. Methodology: Retrospective medical record (audit) has been conducted among 853 DM patients older then 18 years. We checked patient charts among 19 FM teams two years before (May 2003-May 2005) and two years after (May 2005-May 2007) implementation of the DM guidelines in Family Medicine (FM) clinic in Zenica. We divided FM teams based on their patients BP values; optimal level of BP≤130/80mmHg; suboptimal level when systolic BP 130-140mmHg and diastolic 85 -90mmHg and that with inadequate level with BP>140/90mmHg. Results: 853 DM patient charts were analysed, 46 per FM team. Average age of DM patients was greater than 60 years and average age of doctors was 46.6. Percentage of BP inadequate level was smaller after implementation of DM guidelines in most of FM teams. For optimal level BP≤130/80mmHg, significant improvement was seen after implementation of DM guidelines for: 6/19 teams (p<0. 0001), 2/19 teams (p<0.001) and 2/19 teams (p<0. 01). Conclusion: After implementation of BP guidelines for DM patients, BP can be improved in patients treated by FM teams and guidelines should be used. Keywords: blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, guidelines, family medicine teams 1. INTRODUCTION Hypertension is common in patients with type 2 diabetes with a prevalence of 40-60% over the age range 45 to 75 (1). Raised blood pressure (BP) is more common in people with type 2 diabetes than in the general population. However, in patients with type 2 diabetes the risk of diabetes complications was strongly associated with raised blood pressure (2) Most recent guidelines for BP management end treatment recommended: BP to be measured at every diabetes clinic visit for the assessment of hypertension, optimalisation of BP level (target are <130/80mmHg) with using of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) for treatment of hypertensive patients and using of antithrombocit therapy. Also, lifestyle interventions to reduce BP should be considered (3, 4, 5). Several studies have show the efficancy of diseases-specific flow sheet use for improving patient care (6,7). On the other hand, there are only one studia in primary care settings examinig how often flow sheets are used to guide diabetes care and effectiveness of diabetes flow sheet use for improveing patients outcomes (8). In this study we wanted to assess the relationship between special diabetes flow sheets use and patients level of blood pressures in the everyday practice of primary care. This article is one in series our articles about quality improvement of care for diabetes type 2 patients cared by Family physicians in Zenica municipality. 2. METHODS In May of 2005 the Council management of Health Insurance Institution in Zenica-Doboj Canton (ZDC) adopted a resolution called “Primary conditions needed for recognition of Family Medicine in ZDC”. One of these conditions included re-establishing a “system of active management on diabetes and hypertension” (resolution number: 01-100-22/05: page 4, 2005). One of these conditions involved special flow sheets for patients with diabetes and hypertension and these are put in the patient’s paper chart. The special flowsheet for diabetic patients (SFD) includes 13 parameters which are followed periodically. One of these parametar is a blood pressure witch is need to be measured every 6 months. For every hypertensive patients ACE or ARB need to be given. A retrospective medical record (audit) was conducted in Home of Health in Zenica in 20 Family Medicine Clinic to describe the level of BP of diabetic care in the two years before (May 2003-May 2005) and two years after (May 2005May 2007) implementation guidelines for DM. Data was analysed for 843 patients. Nineteen FMT ( Family Medicine Physician is the Team leader) in Zenica participated in this study and allowed us to look into the medical charts of their diabetic type 2 patients. For every FMT , the diabetic patients were chosen using the following criteria: age 18 year or older, diagnosed as DM type 2 by International Qualification of Diseases -9 revision (E11, E10 or DM type 2 ), presenting in the Family Medicine Clinic at least one time before and one time after the implementation of SFD, followed by Family Medicine Physician without specialist-/endocrinologist consultation. By random sampling patients’ charts which met those criteria were reviewed. Charts which did not satisfy those criteria were excluded and others picked. Data from charts was documented on a special audit form (DM flow sheet), created from SFD. We divide all founded BP and all FM teams on that who get a optimal level of BP≤130/80 mmHg; sistolic 130-140 mmHg and diastolic 85 -90 mmHg as suboptimal level and that with inadequate level BP>140/90mmHg (4). In Home of Healt in Zenica municipality did not egzist appropriate institutional review board yet. Director of our institution and colegues Family Medicine physicians approved the project. The data was analysed by standard methods of descriptive and inherent statistics. The hypotheses were tested by z- test proportion. Statistically significant difference was defined as a P value of <0.05. 3. RESULTS In total 853 SFD were reviewed. In patient’s sample, women were more than men (538; 63.1% vs. 315; 36.9%) (P<0.0001). The average age was greater than 60 years (603; 70.7%). Nineteen FMT in total had 44008 registered patients and 1578 patients with DM. On average every FMT had 2316 patients and 83 diabetic patients: the study analysed 45 SFD per team. Within the FMT, Family medicine specialists comprised MED ARH 2009; 63(3) • ORIGINALNI ČLANCI / ORIGINAL PAPERS 157 Effectiveness of Diabetes Flow Sheet in Controlling Blood Pressure: Should Family Medicine Teams in Zenica Use Recommended Guidelines?

Before and after implementation Special Flow sheets for diabetes (SFD) and proportion of patients who met blood presure level for Family Medicine Teams together 74%, doctors with Program of Additional Training (PAT) comprised 21% and Family medicine residents were 5%. The average physician age was 46.6 years: 21% were men and 79% were female. Table 1 show number and proportion of diabetes type 2 patients for: blood pressure (>140/90 mmHg) as a inadequate level statisticly significant decrease after SFD (298 vs. 500; P<0.0001 ; blood pressure (130-140)/(85-90 mmHg) as a suboptimal level statisticly significant increase after SFD (286 vs. 43; P<0.0001) and blood presure (≤ 130/85 mmHg) as a optimal level statisticly significant increase after SFD (219 vs.95; P<0.0001) for all Family Medicine Teams tougether. Finaly, 25.6% of diabetic typ2 patients had optimal level of blood pressure(≤ 130/85 mmHg) and 59.1% of diabetic typ2 patients had BP <140/90 mmHg. Table 2 show number of diabetes type 2 patients with inadequate (>140/90 mmHg), suboptimal (130-140)/(85-90) and optimal(≤ 130/85 mmHg) blood pressures level per Family medicine Teams before vs. after implementation of flow sheets for DM. For optimal level frequency of those findings were rare before SFD. Statistical significance difference was found per FMT: 2, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 18 (P<0.0001), for FMT 15, 17 level of significance (P<0.01), and FMT 5 and 6 (P<0.01). 4. DISCUSSION assess the association’s betwen the use of Specific Flow sheet for diabetes and adherence to care guidelines for diabetes in everyday practice of primary care (8). From 853 charts before vs.after implementation of SFD, the best regularity in registration were found in parametar BP (30.2% vs. 81.3%) and “given ACE ili ARB“ (57% vs.75.7%) per FMT tougether. With that FMT in Zenica reach one of criteria in “Guide for Accreditation for ambulantas/FMT in Republica Srpska” done by Agency of Accreditation and improvement of Quality Health Care in Republica Srpska : FMTs must ensure that: 80% of patients must have blood pressure documented on every visit (13). Also, in two studies Harris SB at all. (1998 and 2003) examined level of folowing guideBlood presure (BP) Family Medicine Team Number of checked chart lines for DM in family practice and also found that BP is mensuared in 88% of cases (14,15). Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality in United States of America made National Healthcare Quality report in 2005 were only 70.9% all of diabetic patients had controled BP <140/90 mm/Hg (16). Our study show that only 25.6% of diabetic typ 2 patients had optimal level of blood pressure(≤ 130/85 mmHg) and only 59.1% of diabetic typ2 patients had BP <140/90 mmHg.With those findings we can not be satisfied. In addition, studies which include doctors’ reports, audits of practice and review of administrative data show that the quality of DM control practiced by doctors in Primary Health Care (PHC) is suboptimal (9, 15, 17, 18). On the other hand, our study show that optimal level BP per FMT before vs. after implementation of SFD statistically significant improved for FMT: 2, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 18 (P<0.0001), for FMT 15, 17 level of significance (P<0.01), and FMT 5 and 6 (P<0.01). So many studies explore most useful interventions for improving a diabetes care (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24).

CONCLUSION Study show that after implementation of Special diabetes flowsheet in Family Medicine settings in Zenica, Family Medicine Teams improved documentation and most of them rich optimal level of BP. Also, study show that use of Special diabetes flowsheet is associated with increased adherence to guidelines for diabetes care and may be a valuable tool in improveing care. Finally, new research is needed to investigate the reasons why all Family Medicine Teams in Zenica do not achieve the recommended guidelines for blood pressure controll in diabetes typ 2 patients .

The objective (purpose) of this study was to investigate the prevalence of specific antibodies in HFRS, in convalescent persons (collective immunity in endemic hearths).In this project we applied the epidemiological method of studying with retrospective-perspective, the serological method for determination and detecting antibodies from the persons of epidemical focus and statistical methods. The disease diagnosis is based on the epidemiological, clinical and serological records. The collected samples have been sent to referral laboratory in Medical FacultyInstitute of Microbiology Ljubljana for laboratory confirmation. From the results we came to conclusion that in the territory of Republic of Kosovo, the HFRS is still a serious health, economic and biological problem. The lethality rate from HFRS in 1986 was 15.4%, 1986-89 10.8%, from 1995-2006 8.70%. The lowest rates of morbidity, mortality and lethality of HFRS compared with the previous periods of time, prove collective immunity growth in Dukagjini valley. For collective immunity research and to conduct the persistence of antibodies for viral corresponding (relative) antigen, after the disease, the samples were collected in the time period of MayJune 2008, with 203 persons that were tested with serological method IIF (Indirect immune fluorescence) from which 187 cases (92.1%) resulted sero-negative and 16 cases (7.9%) resulted sero-positive with HFRS. This proves the collective immunity increase for HFRS. From 13 recovered patients previously diagnosed with HFRS (1986-1989-1995), levels of antibodies were screened in 2008 with IIF. Out of 13 persons, positive antibodies were found in 10 cases, while 3 cases were negative for antibodies (HTN, PUU, and DOB).After 13, 19 and 22 years HTN, PUU and DOB antibodies persisted in level (1:16-1:512). Based on the gathered results, we came to conclusion that it is necessary to compile the National Strategy of Surveillance for the Kosovo Health System for a 5 year period, for avoiding this high risk disease. Keywords: HFRS, collective immunity, (HTN, PUU, DOB) antibodies persisted after 13, 19 and 22 years, IIF, Republic of Kosovo 1. INTRODUCTION Haemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS), or else known as ‘mice fever’, is an acute viral zoonosis, that appears in natural hearths after the humans get in contact with some sorts of mice infected with the Hantaan virus (ARN virus). This disease has a wide geographical spread, and it is present in almost all European countries, especially in Balkans, and Kosovo is not excluded from attacks. There are diseases and natural hearths of two sorts of viral haemorrhagic fever in Kosovo: haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and Crimean Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF).Natural hearths of HFRS in Kosovo are: Bjeshkët e Nemuna, Mountains of Peja, Deçan, Junik, Gjakova, Istog and Kashtanjeva in Ferizaj.The scale of resistance of a population towards a particular communicable disease is determined with collective immunity.With the increase of the collective immunity, comes also the decrease of the scale of morbidity, mortality and lethality from 160 the particular diseases (HFRS) and vice versa. Sensitivity towards HFRS is general. All those who are in contact with the disease virus become ill, but most vulnerable are: farmers, mountain trackers, campers, shepherds, mountain rangers and collectors of natural fruits. After the recovery from the disease, comes the decrease of the antibodies, which shows the possible existence of re-infection with other types of Hantaan viruses. Various authors have found traces of specific antibodies against the Hantaan virus, even 34 years after the disease (1,2,3,4). Other researches show that in natural hearths, seropositivity in Hantaan is 2-29%, while in Europe it’s in 2.1% of population (5,6,7,8,9). 2. AIMS, methodology, and materials To investigate the persistence of specific antibodies in HFRS, in convalescent persons (collective immunity in endemic hearths). Epidemiological method of study was MED ARH 2009; 63(3) • ORIGINALNI ČLANCI / ORIGINAL PAPERS used, retrospective-perspective component, serologic method and statistical method. Diagnosis of the disease was done based on the epidemiological, clinical and serological data. For verification of the HFRS disease cases, laboratory research – serological testing was done, with the following methods: IIF (Indirect immune fluorescence) and the modern method of PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for acute cases. The collected samples (serums) were sent to the referent laboratory in the Faculty of Medicine – Institute of Microbiology- Ljubljana, for their laboratory confirmation.The research on the collective immunity scale on HFRS was achieved with: Serological Tests–detection of antibodies (Ab) in serum and epidemiological research, we have used the continuous epidemiological surveillance in the field, case research, data collection on the movement of the disease, health indicators, like: scale of morbidity, mortality and lethality. Results’ testing was done with Ttest, Spearman’s correlation and X2-test. Test verification was done for credibility 95% and 99%. 2. RESULTS For researching the collective immunity and follow up on antibodies persistence for respective viral Ag (HTN, PUU, DOB), during the period May-June 2008, the following was done: blood samples(serums) were taken from 203 persons and after the testing made with serological method IIF, the following results came out: 187 serums or 92.1% were negative on HFRS and 16 serums or 7.9% were positive on HFRS, as well as the follow up of health indicators like: morbidity, mortality and lethality scale for HFRS during the period 1995-2006. This was proved even during our research, 1995-2006 in Kosovo, where a low scale of morbidity, mortality and lethality of HFRS was registered, compared to other earlier time periods, which results in high scale of collective immunity on HFRS in Kosovo during the time of our research (Table 1 and 2). During May-June 2008, with the serological method IIF, research of 203 samples (serums) was done, where 187 serums or 92.1% were negative on HFRS and 16 serums or 7.9% were positive on HFRS. This proves the increase of the collective immunity scale of the population of endemic zones characteristic with HFRS (Table 3).

Kramer publicirao je 1973. godine (Orthopädische Pra Xis Heft 8/1982, 636-645). Lošu poziciju prve kosti metatarzusa sa svim posljedicama koja leži u osnovi deformiteta ispravlja osteotomijom prve kosti metatarzusa i ponovo uspostavlja funkcionalnu ravnotežu prve grane stopala u svim komponentama. Nakon iskustva, poslije 550 operiranih pacijenata, autor smatra da je ova metoda u prednosti nad mnogim prije opisanim metodama, indikaciono je područje praktično veliko, pri poštovanju tehnike izvodi se jednostavno, post operativno liječenje ne zahtjeva imobilizaciju, a u poređenju sa drugim metodama komplikacije i loši rezultati praktično su nepoznati. U periodu od 1984. do 1988. godine na našem smo odjeljenju kod 98 oboljelog primijenili Kramerovu osteotomiju u liječenju hallux valgusa. Postigli smo dobre rezultate, znatno bolje nego drugim metodama. Ključne riječi: hallux valgus , Kramerova osteotomija, vlastiti rezultati Professional paper SUMMARY In 1973. J.Kramer published his own technique for the cure of hallux valgus (Orthopädische Praxis Heft 8/1982, 636-645). He corrects bad position of the first bone of the metatarsus with all the consequences which lie in the basis of the deformation. By osteotomy of the first bone of the metatarsus and re-instates functional equipise of the first foot instep in all the components. Having the experience of 550 operated patients he considered that this method has advantages over numerous described method, indicative range is practically wide, respecting the technique it is simply performed, post-operative cure does not require immobilisation, and in comparison with other methods, complications and bad results are practically unknown. On our ward, in the period between 1984 and 1988, we applied Kramer’s osteotomy in 98 cases of hallux valgus. The results were satisfying, considerably better than after other methods of hallux valgus treatment. Keywords: hallux valgus, the Kramer osteotomy, results 1. UVOD zahvatom postigao dobar funkcionalni i estetski rezultat, operator mora analizirati sve komponente deformiteta, prošireno stopalo, lošu poziciju palca, promijenjenu poziciju hvatišta tetive i sezamoidnih kostiju, pseudoegzostozu i degenerativne promjene u osnovnom zglobu palca u smislu artroze. Operacije na mehkim tkivima (tenotomije, transpozicija tetiva, kapsulloresekcije itd.), ne samo da ne otklanjaju, nego dovode i do novih patoloških opterećenja u predjelu palca i prednjeg stopala. Resekcione metode na glavici metatarzalne kosti i bazi osnovnog članka vode neestetskom stopalu, uz dalje opterećenje metatarzalnih glavica i mekih tkiva. Stoga Kramer predlaže klinastu resekciju prve metatarzalne kosti, sa izdašnom translacijom, čime utiče na sve komponente deformiteta. Zahvat ima široko indikaciono područje, tehnički se jednostavno izvodi, hospitalizacija je kratka, a u postoperativnom toku nije potrebna gipsana imobilizacija. Ovaj zahvat J. Kramer primjenjuje od 1973. godine i nakon iskustva u više od 550 operacija svoja zapažanja publicira ra 1982. godine u „ Ortopädische Praxis“. Ukoliko se napravi dobar preoperativni plan i izbjegne greška u kirurškom izvođenju operacija, konačni rezultat uvijek je odličan. J. Kramer navodi samo u 2 slučaja infekt kao komplikaciju. 1.1.

S obzirom na to da osteotomija ne zahvata područje epifizne linije, Kramerova osteotomija, kao metoda ostaje kao metoda izbora i u slučajevima juvenilnog hallux valgusa. Kratka hospitalizacija, postoperativno liječenje bez gipsa i rano opterećenje bez potrebe za štakama čini operaciju prikladnom i kod starih osoba. 2. materijal i metode rada 2.1. TEHNIKA Preoperativni plan: predhodno je potrebno napraviti rendgenski snimak stopala u stojećem stavu pod opterećenjem u dorzoplantarnom smjeru i profilu. Napravi se skica na paus-papiru i unese plan osteotomije, odgovarajućeg ugla i klina sa medijalne strane prve metatarzalne kosti. Zahvat se izvodi u Slika 2.

Rezultirajuća sila nakon osteotomije (mišići i postranični pritisak Kiršnerove igle) djeluje okomito na kontaktne plohe. Lateralizacijom se pritisak još povećava i prva se grana produžava. Lateralizacija je obično maksimalna, najmanji za ½ širine metatarzusa na kosti. Lateralizacijom i plantarnim pomakom dolazi do repozicije sezamoidnih kostiju, a MTP zglob preuzima funkciju. Potrebno je paziti na pravilnu poziciju palca, izbjeći bilo kakav pomak dorzalno ili plantarno u smislu savijanja.

Sličan kirurški zahvat može se izvesti kod digitus varus quintus, samo se ne uzima klin, a učine se jedino steotomija i medijalizacija fragmenta. Moguće greške: Osteotomija može biti izvedena previsoko, pa postoji opasnost od pomaka u sagitalnoj osi i mogućnosti su korekture manje. Ako je osteotomija izvedena prenisko, postoji opasnost od nekroze glavice. 3. NAŠI SLUČAJEVI I REZULTATI U periodu od 1984. do 2008. godine primjetili smo Kramerovu metodu kod 98 pacijenata, kod 73 pacijenta operacija je učinjena na oba stopala.

Mijailović2 Sala za kateterizaciju srca, Kliničko-bolnički centar Zemun, Beograd, Srbija1 Klinika za kardiologiju, Vojnomedicinska akademija, Beograd, Srbija2 Revijalni članak SAŽETAK Perkutane koronarne intervencije predstavljaju danas, tri decenije nakon prve balon angioplastike koronarnih arterija, bezbedan, efikasan i najčešće primenjivani metod revaskularizacije miokarda. Prve perkutane koronarne intervencije bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije počele su se izvoditi početkom devedesetih godina XX veka, zahvaljujući unapređenju tehnike i materijala korišćenih za ove procedure, kao i zbog potrebe da se stanovnicima u udaljenim oblastima učini dostupnim ova savremena i efikasna terapija. Međutim, i danas posle skoro dvadesetak godina izvođenja perkutanih koronarnih intervencija i u ustanovama bez kardiohirurgije ovo pitanje ostaje kontroverzno i nerešeno. Tako da i pored postojanja velikog broja interventnih kardioloških centara bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije u velikom broju zemalja u kojima se izvodi značajan broj i elektivnih i primarnih intervencija, zvanični vodiči asocijacija za perkutane koronarne intervencije i dalje ne preporučuju izvođenje intervencija bez postojanja „on-site“ kardiohirurgije. Ipak, u poslednje vreme fokus sa pitanja prisustva „on-site“ kardiohirurgije se sve više pomera u pravcu definisanja kriterijuma za izvođenje perkutanih koronarnih intervencija po najvišim standardima bez obzira na postojanje „on-site“ kardiohirurške potpore. U ovom revijalnom radu dat je trenutni pregled aktuelnih stavova o organizaciji i izvođenju perkutanih koronarnih intervencija u ustanovama bez kardiohirurške potpore. Ključne reči: Perkutane koronarne intervencije, Centar bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije, Bezbednost, Ishod Review SUMMARY Percutaneous coronary interventions are now, three decades after the first balloon angioplasty of the coronary arteries, safe, effective, and most commonly applied method of myocardial revascularization. The first percutaneous coronary intervention without “on-site” cardiac surgery began at the beginning of the nineties of the twentieth century, thanks to the improvement of techniques and materials used for these procedures, as well as the need to make available to citizens in remote areas modern and effective therapy. However, today, after nearly twenty years of application of percutaneous coronary interventions in facilities without cardiac surgery this issue remains controversial and unresolved. So despite the existence of a large number of interventional cardiology centers without “on-site” cardiac surgery in a large number of countries in which they performed a significant number of elective and primary interventions, the official guidelines of the associations for percutaneous coronary interventions still does not recommend implementation of interventions without the existence of “on –site” cardiac surgery. But, recently the focus shifts from the questions about presence of “onsite” cardiac surgery in the direction of defining criteria for performing percutaneous coronary interventions according to the highest standards regardless of the existence of “on-site” cardiac surgical backup. This review article gives the current view on current attitudes about the organization and implementation of percutaneous coronary interventions in facilities without cardiac surgical backup. Keywords: percutaneous coronary interventions, center without on-site cardiac surgical backup, safety, outcome 1. UVODNI DEO U protekle tri decenije, nakon što je 1977. godine Andreas Grüntzig u univerzitetskoj bolnici u Cirihu izveo prvu perkutanu balon angioplastiku koronarnih arterija, primena i indikacije za izvođenje ove metode su revolucionarno prošireni i unapređeni. Naročito u poslednjoj deceniji je došlo do značajnog usavršavanja tehnike perkutanih koronarnih intervencija (PCI), poboljšanja tehnoloških karakteristika materijala (kateteri, koronarne žice), daljeg napretka u razvoju koronarnih stentova (poboljšanje dizajna i materijala, otkriće stentova obloženih lekovima), razvoja i usavršavanja novih naprava (aspiracioni kateteri, sredstva za trombektomiju), kao i usavršavanja antiagregacione terapije. Zahvaljujući tome, danas se perkutane koronarne intervencije smatraju rutin166 skim, bezbednim i efikasnim načinom lečenja i predstavljaju vodeći metod revaskularizacije miokarda u razvijenim zemljama, sa približnim odnosom izvođenja 2:1 u odnosu na konvencionalnu koronarnu bajpas hirurgiju (1, 2). 2. CILJ RADA Cilj ovog rada je pregled aktuelne literature i stavova u pogledu organizacije i izvođenja perkutanih koronarnih intervencija u ustanovama bez kardiohirurške službe, s obzirom na i dalje prisutna kontroverzna mišljenja i brojne debate o ovom pitanju. 3. METOD I REZULTATI RADA Rad je revijskog karaktera. Korišćenjem sledećih engleskih ključnih reči: percutaneous coronary intervention, center without on-site cardiac surgical MED ARH 2009; 63(3) • Revijalni članci • Reviews backup, safety, and outcomes, pretražili smo dostupnu literaturu na sajtu www. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed zaključno sa mesecom julom 2009. godine. Aktuelne preporuke američkih (ACC/AHA/SCAI) i evropskih asocijacija za perkutane koronarne intervencije (EAPCI) smatrani su bazičnim dokumentima u pripremi ovog teksta. 3.1. Nastanak PCI centara bez „onsite“ kardiohirurške potpore Potreba da se i stanovnicima u ruralnim, udaljenim oblastima SAD i Australije obezbede PCI, posebno bolesnicima sa akutnim infarktom miokarda, kao najefikasnijem terapijskom modalitetu reperfuzije, dovela je do inicijalnog uspostavljanja programa interventne kardiologije u opštim bolnicama bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije u ovim zemljama početkom devedesetih godina XX veka (3). Međutim, ubrzo se pokazalo da je iz razloga održivosti interventnog programa, a imajući u vidu i neophodan minimalan godišnji broj PCI [volumen] za ustanove i operatore, bilo takođe neophodno ustanoviti pored hitnog i elektivni PCI program u ustanovama bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije. Na taj način je otvoreno kontroverzno pitanje aspekta bezbednosti elektivnih PCI u ustanovama bez kardiohirurgije, s obzirom da je rizik od potrebe za hitnom kardiohirurškom intervencijom danas mali [<0.5%], ali ipak postoji (4). Međutim, u poslednje vreme primarno pitanje sve više ne predstavlja problem nepostojanja „on-site“ kardiohirurgije koji se rešava brzim i efikasnim transportom u kardiohirurški centar koji obezbeđuje hiruršku potporu, već postizanje najvišeg kvaliteta PCI, nezavisno od činjenice postojanja „on-site“ kardiohirurške potpore u zdravstvenom centru (5). 3.2. Prevalencija i trendovi PCI bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije Prevalencija urađenih PCI bez kardiohirurške potpore se konstantno tokom poslednjih petnaestak godina povećavala, kako u svetu, tako i u državama našeg regiona. Takođe, postojao je i stalni trend povećanja broja PCI centara bez kardiohirurške potpore. Prema podacima američkog CathPCI registra, 2005. godine je u SAD postojalo 16.1% [75/463] PCI centara bez kardiohirurške potpore (6). U Velikoj Britaniji je 2004. godine, čak 26% PCI centara radilo bez kardiohirurške potpore (7). Slični podaci postoje i za druge ekonomski razvijene države. U Srbiji, zaključno sa mesecom julom Perkutane koronarne intervencije bez „on-site“ kardiohirurške potpore PRILOZI 2009. godine postojao je veći broj PCI centara bez kardiohirurgije u odnosu na broj centara sa kardiohiruškom potporom [5/9 PCI centara su bez kardiohirurške potpore]. U centrima bez kardiohirurgije u Srbiji je tokom 2008. godine urađeno ukupno 25.4% [1944/7622] svih PCI, odnosno ukupno 15.7% [264/1681] svih primarnih PCI (8). Realno je očekivati da se i u narednom periodu nastavi povećanje broja urađenih PCI, posebno primarnih u centrima bez kardiohirurgije. Takođe, u Srbiji se planira otvaranje novih, regionalnih PCI centara bez kardiohirurgije. 3.3. Bezbednost i efikasnost Do sada je publikovano oko 30-tak studija koje su ispitivale bezbednost i efikasnost PCI u centrima bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije i sve osim jedne (9) su pokazale jednaku bezbednost i efikasnost, odnosno neinferiornost PCI (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18) urađenih u centrima bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije u poređenju sa centrima sa „on-site“ kardiohirugijom. Ovo naravno važi samo za PCI centre koji su intermedijarnog ili velikog volumena [>200 intervencija godišnje]; centri sa malim volumenom [<200 PCI/godišnje] imaju značajno lošije rezultate, tj. veći mortalitet (19). Efikasnost PCI u današnjoj eri stentova obloženih lekovima i savremene antiagregacione terapije kreće se oko 97%, dok je incidencija velikih komplikacija <1%, a s obzirom da se najveći broj komplikacija uspešno rešava perkutanim interventnim pristupom, potreba za hitnom kardiohirurškom intervencijom tokom PCI iznosi <0.5% (20). Važno je istaći i da je nedostatak svih dosadašnjih studija činjenica da su to bile uglavnom retrospektivne, deskriptivne studije pojedinačnih centara koji su svoje rezultate poredili sa rezultatima velikih „on-site“ centara. Za sada jedina, velika, multicentrična, prospektivna, randomizovana studija koja ispituje bezbednost i efikasnost PCI u centrima sa „on-site“ kardiohirurgijom u odnosu na centre bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije je C-PORT studija koja je započeta 2006. godine u SAD (21). Objavljivanje prvih rezultata ove studije očekuje se tokom 2009. godine. Kako su dosadašnje preporuke bile bazirane isključivo na manjim opservacionim studijama i konsenzusu eksperata, sa velikim nestrpljenjem se očekuju rezultati ove studije koji bi mogli dovesti do promene sadašnjih preporuka. Tabela 1. Klinički i angiografski kriterijumi koji označavaju visok interventni rizik prema SCAI preporukama I. Klinički kriterijumi čije prisustvo kod bolesnika označava potencijalno visoki rizik u slučaju okluzije izazvane intervencijom: • dekompenzovana zastojna srčana insuficijencija • ejekciona frakcija leve komore ≤ 25% • stenoza (>50%) glavnog stabla leve koronarne arterije ili trosudovna koronarna bolest bez prethodne CABG • pojedinačna stenoza koja ugrožava >50% preostalog vitalnog tkiva miokarda II. Angiografski kriterijumi koji označavaju potencijalno visok rizik za nastanak intervencijom izazvane akutne okluzije: • difuzna bolest (>2cm u dužini stenoze) i izrazita tortuoznost proksimalnog segmenta • teško kalcifikovane lezije proksimalnog segmenta • lezije na ekstremno velikim krivinama (>90°) • nemogućnost protekcije velikih bočnih grana • lezije na degenerativno izmenjenim starim venskim graftovima • trombotične lezije • bilo koje druge karakteristike lezije / arterije koje onemogućavaju implantaciju stenta • agresivni pristup u otvaranju CTO može dovesti do perforacije koronarne arterije SCAI, Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions; CABG, Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting; CTO, Chronic Total Occlusion 3.4. Aktuelne preporuke za PCI bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije Prema aktuelnom ACC/AHA/SCAI vodiču iz 2007. godine (1), primarne PCI u centrima bez kardiohirurgije i dalje nose indikaciju klase Iib, tj. mogu se izvoditi pod određenim okolnostima, dok elektivne PCI bez kardiohirurške potpore imaju indikaciju klase III, tj. ne preporučuju se. Evropsko udruženje kardiologa u svom vodiču za PCI iz 2005. godine (2) se ne bavi pitanjem izvođenja PCI bez kardiohirurške potpore kao ni pitanjima vezanim za kompetentnost operatora, opremljenosti i volumena ustanova. Vodič britanskog udruženja za kardiovaskularne intervencije iz 2005. godine (7) podržava izvođenje PCI u centrima bez kardiohirurške potpore uz poseban naglasak na utvrđivanje zajedničkih standarda za centre sa i bez kardiohirurgije. Vodič belgijske radne grupe za invazivnu kardiologiju publikovan još 2003. godine (22) posebno naglašava da „sadašnja standardna praksa za izvođenje elektivnih PCI ostaje prisustvo kardiohirurške potpore“. Kardiološko udruženje Australije i Novog Zelanda u svom vodiču publikovanom 2005. godine (23) navodi da se „PCI prvenstveno izvode u centrima sa on-site kardiohirurškom potporom, ali se i potvrđuje da zahtevi za obezbeđivanje kardiohirurgije mogu biti16izuzeti u određenim okolnostima i da adekvatno obučeni operatori mogu bezbedno izvoditi interventne koronarne procedure u bolnicama bez kardiohirurške potpore“. Takođe, u dokumentu se navodi da pacijentima u udaljenim oblastima, koji imaju smanjenu dostupnost korišćenja savremene interventne kardiološke terapije, omogućavanje dostupnosti interventnih procedura treba da poboljša kvalitet zdravstvene zaštite. Interesantno je navesti primer Nemačke, zemlje sa bogatom tradicijom i odličnom organizacijom zdravstvene zaštite u kojoj ne postoje nacionalne preporuke za izvođenje PCI, mada postoji značajan broj operativnih interventnih kardioloških centara bez „on-site“ kardiohirurške potpore. U Srbiji do sada nisu publikovane nacionalne preporuke vezane za standarde izvođenja koronarnih angiografija i PCI. MED ARH 2009; 63(3) • Revijalni članci • Reviews 167 Perkutane koronarne intervencije bez „on-site“ kardiohirurške potpore Takođe, trenutno ne postoje ni preporuke za organizaciju i izvođenje PCI u centrima bez kardiohirurgije. Imajući u vidu trenutno i dalje kontroverzni status izvođenja PCI u centrima bez kardiohirurške potpore, koje se uprkos nepostojanju jasnih preporuka izvode u velikom broju zemalja i u sve većem broju, američko udruženje za kardiovaskularne angiografije i intervencije (SCAI) je 2007. godine publikovalo dokument zasnovan na konsenzusu eksperata iz različitih zemalja o izvođenju PCI bez kardiohirurške potpore (20). U izradi ovog dokumenta učestovali su isključivo eksperti koji rade u PCI centrima sa „on-site“ kardiohirurškom potporom kako bi se izbegao potencijalni konflikt interesa. Cilj ovog dokumenta nije bio ni da favorizuje ni da negira izvođenje PCI bez kardiohirurške potpore, već da u trenutno kontraverznoj situaciji u kojoj zvanični vodiči uglavnom ne odobravaju elektivne PCI u centrima bez „on-site“ kardiohirurške potpore koje se u stvarnosti izvode u značajnom, i sve većem broju, definiše adekvatne i neophodne standarde, kako bi operatori u PCI centrima bez „on-site“ kardiohirurške potpore radili po jasno definisanim, najvišim standardima. 3.5. Kompetentnost operatora Samo izvođenje velikog broja intervencija, mada neophodno, samo po sebi ne garantuje i visoki kvalitet rada operatora. Šta više, smatra se da je značajnija mera kvaliteta odnosno kompetentnosti operatora, broj komplikacija i proceduralni i klinički ishod bolesnika. Prema SCAI preporukama (20), operatori u PCI centrima bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije treba da ispunjavaju, pored generalnih ACC/AHA kriterijuma za sertifikaciju (1), i dodatne kriterijume: •• broj komplikacija i ishod bolesnika treba da bude za svakog operatora najmanje ekvivalentan, a idealno i superioran, u poređenju sa vrednostima na nacionalnom nivou, •• za svakog operatora je neophodno da postoji proverljiv dosije sa ishodima bolesnika, što je od većeg značaja od arbitrarno određenog broja neophodnih procedura, •• pre započinjanja rada u centru bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije, operator treba da ima iza sebe urađenih najmanje 500 intervencija kao prvi operator nakon završenog treninga; za operatore sa urađenim manjim brojem intervencija ne168 ophodan je mentorski rad i monitoring dok se njihove sposobnosti, odluke i ishodi bolesnika ne procene i formalno potvrde da su ekvivalentni nacionalnim vrednostima, •• ukupan godišnji broj intervencija smatra se da za operatore u centrima bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije treba da bude nešto viši od broja za operatore u centrima sa kardiohirurgijom, drugim rečima ovim operatorima je potrebno veće iskustvo zbog rešavanja eventualnih komplikacija. Kao što se iz napred navedenog može zaključiti, za operatore u centrima bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije potrebno je veće prethodno iskustvo i konstantno održavanje kompetentnosti putem većeg broja intervencija na godišnjem nivou uz kontinuiranu edukaciju. 3.6. Kvalifikacije centra i ostalog osoblja Neobično je važno da i celokupno osoblje u Sali za kateterizaciju srca, kao i u koronarnoj jedinici bude u potpunosti edukovano u pogledu tretmana pacijenata pre, tokom i posle procedure. Edukacija podrazumeva poznavanje svih mera u slučaju potencijalnih proceduralnih komplikacija uključujući i primenu lekova, DC šoka, intraaortne balon pumpe, pacemakera, kao i svih ostalih mogućnosti perkutanog interventnog rešavanja komplikacija (24). U SAD se smatra da je neophodan mininalni broj 200 PCI godišnje da bi centar bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije bio operativan. Manji broj intervencija se eventualno može dozvoliti u veoma udaljenim oblastima. Apsolutni minimum u SAD je 150 PCI/godišnje, od čega 36 primarnih PCI; centri koji nemaju ovaj volumen intervencija ne mogu imati licencu za rad (25). Međutim, novootvoreni PCI centri imaju period od dve godine na raspolaganju da dostignu neophodan apsolutni minimum intervencija. Ukoliko nakon toga ne uspeju da dostignu ovaj broj moraju prestati sa radom (20). Svrha organizovanja PCI programa u centrima bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije je izvođenje pre svega primarnih PCI (26). Iz tog razloga se u SAD ne dozvoljava otvaranje centara u kojima će se izvoditi samo elektivne PCI; svaki PCI centar u SAD bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije je u obavezi da izvodi primarne PCI 24h/svakodnevno. PCI centri bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije u Evropi, kao i u našoj zemlji MED ARH 2009; 63(3) • Revijalni članci • Reviews trenutno nemaju obavezu da obezbeđuju primarne PCI 24h/svakodnevno već je to stvar organizacije na nivou ustanove i svake zemlje pojedinačno. 3.7. Selekcija bolesnika i lezija Brižljiva primena kliničkih i angiografskih kriterijuma je neophodna za selekciju bolesnika pre izvođenja elektivnih PCI u centrima bez „on-site“ kardiohirurške potpore. Naime, u slučaju elektivnih PCI, bolesnik ima mogućnost da bira i centar i operatora. Situacija je drugačija u slučaju akutnog infarkta miokarda i primarnih PCI. Drugim rečima, klinička slika i odnos korist-rizik su različiti za elektivne i primarne PCI, iz čega proizlazi da u ovim slučajevima treba primeniti i različite kriterijume. Kod izvođenja elektivnih PCI bez „on-ste“ kardiohirurške podrške, potrebno je proceniti ne samo verovatnoću neuspeha PCI već i potencijalni rizik u slučaju nastanka komplikacija. Naime, s jedne strane postoje nisko odnosno visoko rizični bolesnici [prisustvo komorbiditeta, na pr. terminalna bubrežna insuficijencija, malignomi, loša rezidualna kardijalna funkcija i sl.], dok s druge strane postoje nisko odnosno visoko rizične lezije [na pr. lezije na glavnom stablu leve koronarne arterije, ostijalne i bifurkacione lezije, trombotične lezije, hronične totalne okluzije, lezije na degenerativno izmenjenim venskim graftovima i sl.]. Važno je uvek istovremeno proceniti i anticipirati rizičnost i bolesnika i lezije kod izvođenja elektivnih PCI u centrima bez „on-site“ kardiohirurške podrške. Kao što je već istaknuto PCI centar bez kardiohirurgije mora osim primarnih izvoditi i elektivne PCI, s tim što kod svakog bolesnika treba pre elektivne PCI individualno proceniti rizik. Trenutno postoji nekoliko efikasnih i jednostavnih modela za procenu rizika kod kojih se na osnovu kliničkih i angiografskih parametara izračunava rizik skor koji predstavlja verovatnoću rizika nastanka smrtnog ishoda tokom PCI (27-29). U tabeli 1. prikazani su klinički i angiografski kriterijumi koje SCAI (20) definiše kao visoko rizične. U tabeli 2. su prikazane SCAI preporuke za izvođenje elektivnih PCI u centrima bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije (20). U praksi su moguće četiri kombinacije [tabela 2.]. Za centar bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije idealan bolesnik za PCI je nisko rizični sa nisko rizičnom lezijom. Kod visoko rizičnih bolesnika sa visoko rizičnim lezijama elek- Perkutane koronarne intervencije bez „on-site“ kardiohirurške potpore tivne PCI treba izvoditi u centrima sa „on-site“ kardiohirurškom podrškom, a u određenim slučajevima i uz kardiohirurški „stand-by“ [pripravnost kardiohirurga i sale za vreme PCI]. Pri izvođenju elektivne PCI kod visoko rizičnog bolesnika sa nisko rizičnom lezijom u centru bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije, preporuka je da se o tome obavestiti nadležni kardiohirurški centar koji obezbeđuje „offsite“ potporu radi pripravnosti u slučaju nastanka komplikacija. Za PCI tretman visoko rizičnih lezija kod nisko rizičnih bolesnika u centru bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije dovoljno je pridržavati se standardnih mera. 3.8. Hitan transport u kardiohirurški centar u slučaju komplikacija Za uspešnost i bezbednost PCI programa u centrima bez „on-site“ kardiohirurške potpore neophodna je tesna saradnja i stalna komunikacija sa kardiohirurškim centrom koji obezbeđuje podršku. Ova saradnja treba da bude bazirana na formalizovanom i potpisanom sporazumu između dve ustanove tj. između PCI centra bez kardiohirurgije i kardiohirurškog centra koji pruža potporu Ključna odrednica sporazuma treba da bude protokol za hitan transport bolesnika u slučaju potrebe za hitnom kardiohirurškom intervencijom; idealno bi bilo da se transfer periodično simulaciono testira (20). U informisanom pristanku koji bolesnici daju neposredno pre koronarografije i PCI, treba da stoji da će u slučaju iznenadnog nastanka komplikacija tokom ovih procedura koje zahtevaju neodložno hirurško zbrinjavanje biti hitno transportovani u određeni kardiohirurški centar sa kojim postoji prethodni sporazum. S druge strane, formalno potpisivanje saglasnosti i na hiruršku intervenciju pre koronarografije i PCI danas se ne smatra više neophodnim (30), s obzirom da ova potreba postoji u izrazito malom broju slučajeva. Osim toga danas u velikim kardiovaskularnim centrima koji imaju „on-site“ kardiohirurgiju takođe više ne predstavlja standard da hirurška sala i kardiohirururški tim budu pripravni odnosno „stand-by“ za vreme rutinskih PCI. Zbog niske incidencije komplikacija za čije rešavanje je potrebna kardiohirurška intervencija, ne postoje precizni podaci o potrebnom vremenu za transport bolesnika iz PCI sale u kardiohiruršku salu u centrima sa „on-site“ kardiohirurgijom, ali se pretpostavlja da je potrebno oko 60 min da se Tabela 2.

ZAKLJUČAK I elektivne i primarne perkutane koronarne intervencije u centrima bez „onsite“ kardiohirurške potpore uz ispunjenost svih neophodnih standarda u pogledu kompetentnosti operatora, kvalifikacije centra i ostalog osoblja, uz postojanje efikasnog protokola za hitan transport bolesnika u kardiohirurški centar u slučaju nastanka komplikacija, brižljivu selekciju bolesnika i lezija, uprkos nepostojanju jasnih zvaničnih preporuka predstavljaju danas široko primenjivan, bezbedan i efikasan način revaskularizacije miokarda. Fokus sa pitanja bezbednosti PCI u centrima bez „on-site“ kardiohirurgije je u poslednje vreme u velikoj meri pomeren ka pitanjima vezanim za pružanje PCI po najvišim standardima nevezano za postojanje „on-site“ kardiohirurgije.

Nowadays, germinomas can be cured by radiotherapy and chemotherapy without surgical resection but the other pineal region tumors should be primary treated by surgery. Two microsurgical approaches, the infratentorial supracerebellar and the occipital transtentorial, are accepted as the main standard accesses to the pineal region. For benign pineal tumors (pineocytoma, meningioma, mature teratomas, symptomatic pineal cysts, etc.) radical surgical resection can be curative. For malignant tumors radical surgical resection is not an objective. Serum and CSF markers contribute to the diagnosis of pineal parenchymal tumors. b-HCG is mainly positive in choriocarcinomas, embryonal carcinomas and mixed germ cell tumors and AFP is expressed by yolk sac tumors, embryonic carcinomas, immature teratomas and mixed germ cell tumors. b-HCG is usually low in germinomas which are often positive for PLAP on immunohistochemistry. Fifty-one pineal region tumors were surgically treated by senior author (NdT). Only 17 of them were the neoplasms originating from pineal body (pineal tumors). In conclusion it can be stressed that management of pineal tumors requires a multidisciplinary cooperation. With the exception of germinoma where only a biopsy is needed, the role of the surgeons still remains prominent as resection of pineal tumors requires high technical skill and experience as well as precise clinical judgment. Keywords: neurosurgery, pineal region tumors 1. Introduction Pineal region tumors include a variety of neoplasms of different histological origin growing from the pineal gland itself or from structures of the parapineal space. These tumors are rare and account for 0.4 to 1.0 % of intracranial tumors in adults and 3-8 % in children . The most common types are germ cell tumors, pineal parenchymal cell tumors and glial cell tumor. Other pineal region tumors such as meningiomas, PNET, neurocytomas, hemangioblastomas, cavernomas and metastasis are infrequent. The treatment options for the different pineal region tumors vary according to their histological nature. However, with the exception of germinomas which can be nowadays cured by low-dose radiotherapy and chemotherapy and only require a biopsy for diagnosis, surgery still plays a central role in the management of most of the other pineal region tumors followed or not by adjuvant radiotherapy, chemotherapy or a combination of both. The first successful removal of a pineal tumor was reported in 1913 by Oppenheim and Krause. Krause was the first to describe and successfully use the infratentorial supracerebellar approach in three cases in 1926(1)..In the microsurgical era, Stein further developed and popularized this approach during the 1970’s (2). Finally the right suboccipital approach was described by Poppen and further modified by Jamieson in 1971(3).. The infratentorial supracerebellar and the occipital transtentorial approaches are nowadays accepted as the main standard accesses to the pineal region. 2. Microsurgical anatomy Pineal region tumors lie deep in the center of the cranium and are surrounded by critical anatomical structures that have to be respected at all costs. Therefore, a precise knowledge of the complex anatomy of the pineal region is of paramount importance (4, 5, 6). The pineal gland is located on the midline and forms an appendix of the caudal end of the diencephalons embracing the pineal recess of IIId ventricule. The pineal stem is continuous with the habenular commissure dorsally and the posterior commissure ventrally. The pineal body projects posteriorly in the quadrigeminal cistern where it is flanked by the splenium of the corpus callosum superiorly and lies on the tectal quadrigeminal plate in-between the left and right superior colliculi. The pineal gland is mainly vascularized by the medial and lateral posterior choroidal arteries. The medial posterior choroidal arteries are branches of the posterior cerebral artery and in addition to the pineal body they supply the superior and inferior colliculi, and the choroidal plexus of the third ventricule. These arteries are displaced laterally by pineal tumors in the cistern and rostrally in the posterior part of the third ventricule together with internal cerebral veins. The posterior lateral choroidal artery supplies the pulvinar and is generally displaced laterally by pineal tumors. Other important arterial landmarks are the superior cerebellar arteries that can be displaced inferiorly by pineal tumors and the medial occipital artery branching from the posterior cerebral artery and giving the calcarine artery. During surgical approaches to the pineal gland, the major anatomical obstacle is the Galenic venous system. The vein of Galen has several tributaries: the superior vermian vein and the precentral cerebral vein run in the midline and into the dorsocaudal part of the great vein. The internal cerebral veins and the pineal veins join ventrally. In pineal tumors, the posterior portion of the internal cerebral veins is always elevated rostrally, and the veins are occasionally separated from each other. On the lateral aspect of the great vein, the medial occipital veins, the third segment of the basal veins of Rosenthal, and the posterior mesencephalic veins join. The pineal veins are the draining veins of pineal tumors and drain into either the posterior portion of the internal cerebral veins or the vein of Galen. At this point pineal tumors are thightly adherent to the internal cerebral vein and/or the vein of Galen. An injury to the basal veins or the internal cerebral veins will yield major complications. And a transection of a major medial occipital vein may cause homonymous hemianopsia or visual seizures. 3. Rationale For benign pineal tumors (pineocytoma, meningioma, neurocytomas, mature teratomas, hemangioblastomas, cavernous hemangiomas, gangliogliomas, and symptomatic pineal cysts) total surgical resection is a primary goal as surgery alone can be curative (7, 6).. For malignant tumors surgery is only a part of the treatment which will consist of adjuvant therapies and therefore radical surgical resection is not an objective (6, 8)..In all cases focus should be given to reduce post treatment morbidity. 4.

Conclusion Contemporary management of pineal tumors requires a multidisciplinary cooperation where surgery represents only one aspect of the treatment plan. However, with the exception of germinoma where only a biopsy is needed, the role of the surgeons still remains prominent as resection of pineal tumors requires high technical skill and experience as well as precise clinical judgment. The infratentorial supracerebellar approach and the occipital transtentorial approach when used appropriately allow access to nearly every type of pineal neoplasms. REFERENCES 1.

Six intracranial aneurysms of the anterior circulation were discovered at operation, contrary to angiographic findings. These were successfully clipped by the author (KD). Postoperatively, the patient’s cerebral energy metabolism was monitored by bedside cerebral microdialysis in real time. The ICP (volume)-targeted therapy (Lund concept) was utilised in accordance with findings of intrinsic brain biochemistry. Three-month follow-up showed excellent outcome (Glasgow Outcome Score,GOS 5). Keywords: subarachnoid hemorrhage, multiple intracranial aneurysms, early surgery, Lund concept, cerebral microdialysis, coma 1. Introduction Intracranial aneurysm rupture, the most common cause of spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is burdened with high mortality and morbidity. The rationale foe using early surgical clipping as a gold standard in such cases is the prevention of delayed intracranial complications. There is doubtless benefit to the currently favoured method–endovascular coilling (1,2). However, this option is still not accessible for many neurosurgical patients, particularly those in developing countries. In certain institutions, early surgical clipping was prefered only for the good grade patients (Hunt-Hess I, II, III). Comatose patients with neurological deficit (Hunt-Hess IV i V) are not operated on due to increased immediate postoperative mortality. Our experience favours the treatment of almost all anterior circulation ruptured barry aneurysms by early surgical clipping and postoperative treatment according to the Lund concept (ICP or volume-targeted therapy). The important exception to this view would be patients with a GCS of 3. The Lund concept involves monitoring cerebral energy metabolism using cerebral microdialysis3-9. Orginally devised to aid the management of traumatic brain injury, it has been shown to be helpful in reducing overall mortality after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and preventing ischaemia. Early surgery together with postoperative volume-targeted therapy allows an effective approach to complications caused by haemorrhage. 174 Our objective is to present the outcome of a deeply comatose patient following a SAH who was found to have six intracranial aneurysms. The importance of strategic treatment planning (in this case, arly surgical clipping and postoperative utilisation of Lund concept) is illustrated by this case. Figure 2. Intraoperative illustration of multiple aneurysms clipping Surgery was undertaken by the author (KD) within 24h of the bleed. Intraoperatively, contrary to CT angiography, six aneurysms of the anterior circulation occurring bilaterally were discovered. These were successfully clipped (Figure 2). Five of the aneurysms were on the right (two on ICA, one on AChA, A1 ACA and MCA) including the ruptured aneurysm (MCA). The remaining 2. Case report H.Z., a 44-years-old male experienced a spontaneous SAH (Fisher gr IV) secondary to aneurysmal rupture a day before addmition to our Department. He was deeply comatose (GCS 5, Hunt-Hess gr V, WFNS gr V). The digital subtraction angiography (DSA), the conventional angiographical option, was not available due to technical issues. CT angiography was performed as an alternative and demonstrated three aneurysms of anterior cerebral circulation (Figure 1). Figure 3. Craniotomy was done on both sides. The catheter was placed in the left lateral ventricle. A titanium clips and catheter for cerebral microdialysis are visible intracranially. Figure 1. Preoperative brain CT angiography shows multiple cerebral aneurysms on the both side. MED ARH 2009; 63(3) • PRIKAZI SLUČAJA / CASE REPORTS one was on the left (MCA bifurcation). A modified right pteryonal (pre-temporal) approach utilizing a trans-Sylvian route was used. Following aneurysm clipping and wound closure on the right , the head was rotated and a left supra-orbital lateral approach was undertaken The left MCA aneurysm was noted to be leaking This was also successfully clipped (Figure 3 A and B). After clipping, an intraventricular catheter for ICP-monitoring and a microdialysis microcatheter for energy metabolism monitoring were placed. Management of a Comatose Patient with Multiple Intracranial Aneurysms - Lessons Learned Postoperatively, the patient was intubated, sedated and managed using the Lund concept i. e. ICP (volume)-targeted therapy (Figure 4.). This therapy focuses on four crucial aims: •• reduction of stress response and cerebral energy metabolism, •• reduction of capillary hydrostatic pressure, •• maintenance of colloid osmotic pressure with strict control of fluid balance •• reduction of cerebral blood volume. The brain energy metabolism was monitored using cerebral microdialysis equipment (3,4,5,6) (Figure 5). A month postoperatively the patient was alert, extubated, communicating freely and laboratory investigation results were within reference range. Postoperative rehabilitation was completed. By three-month follow-up, his GOS was 5 and his Karnofsky score was 90. Slight cognitive deterioration was noted but there was no neurological deficit (Figure 6) (7,8,9). 3. Discussion Spontaneous SAH caused by anterior circulation aneurysmal rupture is a common reason for acute deterioration of consciousness and development of neurological deficit in a patient. Poor preoperative status as an indication for early surgery is an area of controversy. Practice varies widely across the neurosurgical word, dependant largely on ex per t opi nion within institution rather than a ny internationally accepted evidence based guideline. In our experience, poor preoperative Hunt-Hess grade alone should not be a reason for avoiding early surgery. This is illustrated by the case Figure 4.

This patient was managed for surgery.

The cerebrovascular ume regulation and maintaining cereneurosurgeon should be one who antici- bral perfusion pressure between 50 and pates intraoperative findings other than 70 mmHg (3,7,8,14). Modification of this those imaged on preoperative scans and strategy according to the findings of interstitial brain metabolites (glucose, lactate, piruvate, glutamate, glycerol) recorded by cerebral microdialysis is then carried out. These indicators, measured at the bedside (15,16,17,18), reflect the level of brain ischemia in real time. 4. Conclusion A poor grade patient with multiple aneurysms can benefit from early surgical clipping, especially if accompanied by postoperative conservative treatment directed at brain volume regulation based on bedside monitoring of brain intrinsic biochemistry. Clearly, this should ideally happen in the controlled environment of a neurosurgical intensive care unit. references 1. Figure 5. The record of patient’s cerebral energy metabolism.

ISBN 978-1-60750-044-5 This volume contains the proceedings of the Twentysecond International Conference on Medical Informatics Europe MIE 2009, that will be held in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, from 30 August to 2 September 2009. The MIE 2009 is the European’s leading forum for presenting the results of current scientific work in healthinformatics processes, systems, and technologies. Achievements in this area will be introduced to an international audience. As a major event for science, medicine, and technology, the conference provides a comprehensive overview and in-depth, first hand information on new developments, advanced systems and technologies, and current and future applications. The MIE 2009 conference was organized by the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) in cooperation with the Society for Medical Informatics of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHSMI). It follows the previous conferences in Cambridge (1978), Berlin (1979), Toulouse (1981), Dublin (1982), Brussels (1984), Helsinki (1985), Rome (1987), Oslo (1988), Glasgow (1990), Vienna (1991), Jerusalem (1993), Lisbon (1994), Copenhagen (1996), Porto Carras (1997), Ljubljana (1999), Hannover (2000), Budapest (2002), Saint Malo (2003), Geneva (2005), Maastricht (2006), and the conference 2008 in Gothenburg. The proceedings contain 213 contributions to the MIE 2009 conference. They cover all presentations which are part of the scientific program of MIE 2009, among them 150 full paper presentations, 21 student paper presentations, 21 presentations that will be presented as posters, and 14 workshop descriptions. Furthermore, seven keynote addresses from eminent scientists coming from Europe and overseas are also included into the proceedings. The papers included were selected by an International Scientific Programme Committee (SPC) out of 324 submissions after careful review by three international reviewers for every single submission. The SPC chair and his two co-chairs (K.-P. Adlassnig, B. Blobel, and J. Mantas) are especially thankful to all our reviewers whose efforts are highly estimated. As a specific token of appreciation and to recognize their work not only anonymously, the MIE 2009 reviewers’ names are listed in the proceedings. The – often extended – recommendations of the reviewers were incorporated in the final texts, and careful language revision was carried out to achieve a high quality of presentation. The scientific topics presented in the proceedings volume at hand range from national and trans-national eHealth roadmaps, health information and electronic health record systems, systems interoperability and communication standards, medical terminology and ontology approaches, and social networks to Web, Web 2.0, and Semantic Web solutions for patients, health personnel, and researchers. Furthermore, they include quality assurance and usability of medical informatics systems, specific disease management and telemedicine systems, including a section on devices and sensors, drug safety, clinical decision support and medical expert systems, clinical practice guidelines and protocols, as well as privacy and security issues. Moreover, bioinformatics, biomedical modeling and simulation, medical imaging and visualization and, last but not least, learning and education through medical informatics systems is part of the included topic areas. There are several trends and developments that can be recognized by carefully examining the single contributions to the various topics. First, interoperability and data exchange standards become most important. Systems must and will be interconnected to each other: locally, nationally, and transnationally. Medical information and electronic health record systems will be the first to benefit. Second, ontologies are being developed in an increasing path. Medical data items and medical concepts (terms) are represented, arranged, and interconnected in standardized collections of “those that is” (=ontology) in medicine. By doing so, not only the medical vocabulary that is used in an application but also the semantics of applied items and terms is defined. Third, Web applications allow to share medical information and knowledge by many users – researchers, staff, patients; close or far. Web 2.0 applications deliberately involve the user, and the Semantic Web provides even knowledge inferences over remote knowledge places and allows to develop futuristic systems. Fourth, clinical decision support systems in all possible manifestations are and will increasingly be demanded by physicians and patients equally – after patients’ medical data from the many data sources are finally digitized and made available. They will provide huge impact on medical workflow and patient care to the benefit of the patient, the caring physician, and the MED ARH 2009; 63(3) • PRIKAZI KNJIGA / BOOK REVIEWS 177 Medical Informatics In A United And Healthy Europe STUDIES IN HEALTH TECHNOLOGY AND INFORMATICS 150 150 Medical Informatics in a United and Healthy Europe This volume contains the proceedings of the Twenty-second International Conference on Medical Informatics Europe MIE 2009, that was held in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, from 30 August to 2 September 2009.
