Probiotics are among those products, the use of which is increasing, and they available primarily as food/dietary supplements, well in form medicines. This study aims to assess attitudes practices health professionals students sciences, give a short overview probiotics currently on market, conduct screening five food supplements one drug with respect antibiotic resistance. Nearly half respondents our survey state that have no side effects, while only 6.3% believe can lead In addition, more...
Diabetic pregnancy is often complicated by a number of pathological conditions among which increased oxidative stress. This study was conducted to investigate the parameters stress in 90 patients divided into three groups: pregnant women with Type 1 diabetes mellitus, healthy and non-pregnant women. In groups all were followed 1st, 2nd 3rd trimester. control monitored fasting blood glucose glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) these values, as well measured biochemical (urea, creatinine, total...
Abstract Antioxidant enzymes, total glutathione (GSH), and ascorbic acid (ASA) were determined in whole body homogenates of nondiapausing larvae, diapausing larvae during the period (October, December, February), pupae emerged from both European corn borer ( Ostrinia nubilalis , Hubn ., Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). The activities catalase, selenium nondependent peroxidase (GPx), glutathione‐S‐transferase (GST), as well content GSH ASA, found to vary throughout larval diapause. Compared higher...

The effects of clinoptilolite in pig&sbqua;s diets were examined on sixty Landrace × Yorkshire crossbred pigs both sexes divided into two groups: 1. control group, with basal diets; 2. treatment, supplemented 5 g per 1 kg diet (Cp group). Feed and water available ad libitum. Individual live weights recorded days 45, 90 135 the experiment. consumptions weekly. Blood was drawn from anterior vena cava each pig at day for determination serum biochemical parameters. During first experiment Cp...
Abstract Antioxidant enzymes (CAT, catalase; GPx, selenium nondependent glutathione peroxidase; GST, glutathione‐S‐transferase; GR, reductase; DHAR, dehydroascorbate reductase) were determined in the mitochondria of diapausing and non‐diapausing larvae pupae both European corn borer ( Ostrinia nubilalis, Hubn ., Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). CAT, DHAR activity reduced compared to larvae. Pupae diapaused‐larvae possessed lower but higher activities non‐diapaused individuals. Comparison between...
Resveratrol is a well-studied plant-derived molecule in cancer biology, with plethora of documented vitro effects. However, its low bioavailability and toxicity risk hamper wider use. In this study, vine shoots after pruning were used as source resveratrol (RSV). The activity subcritical water extract (SWE) dry (DE) examined on three cell lines: HeLa, MCF-7 MRC-5. cytotoxic effect assessed by the MTT test EB/AO staining, levels apoptosis are determined Annexin V assay, autophagia ULK-1...
Activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), reductase (GR), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), as well total (tGSH) concentration were analyzed in the hemolymph and fat body European corn borer Ostrinia nubilalis Hubn. Mediterranean Sesamia cretica Led. (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae). Controls maintained at 8°C while experimental groups larvae exposed to –3°C for ten days then –12°C 23 (only Ostrinia). Cold exposure significantly increased SOD, GR, GST...
Many insects in temperate regions overwinter diapause, during which they are cold hardy.In these insects, one of the metabolic adaptations to unfavorable environmental conditions is synthesis cryoprotectants/anhydroprotectants.The aim this study was investigate connection between antioxidative system and cryoprotectants (mainly glycerol) diapausing larvae European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae).At two periods diapause (November February), three groups (kept under...
From August to September 2014 a water quality study was conducted on five popular public Danube beaches in Vojvodina, Serbia. To assess the safety of for bathing, physical, chemical, bacteriological tests were performed. While many parameters monitoring are regulated by law, there neither national nor international legislations addressing presence viruses recreational waters. In this study, we performed analyses that surpassed requirements, and investigated if adenovirus, enterovirus or...
In this paper, we present a compact microfluidic platform for selective detection of ascorbic acid. The chip was fabricated by xurography technique with channel placed between the silver electrodes. To increase conductivity and enhance electron transfer process, graphene sheet deposited in gap suspension tablets acid mixture isomalt, sugar substitute, were injected channel. Measuring electrical parameters at contacts, it possible to successfully differentiate from isomalt. sensing mechanism...
Chikungunya virus is an Arbo belonging to the family Togaviridae. In urban areas, antropophilic Aedes aegypti and albopictus mosquitoes are vectors for transmission human population. has attracted professional scientifi c public attention in 2013 causing a massive outbreak on American continent. Europe, autochthonous transmissions of infections have beenrecorded Italy 2007 as well France 2010 2014. Usutu RNA from Flaviviridae. Th e circulates cycle between wild birds Culex mosquitoes. The...
Introduction. At present, two phylogenetically distinct influenza B virus lineages, B/Yamagata and B/ Victoria, co-circulate worldwide can cause significant morbidity mortality. Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalences lineages in population Vojvodina identify their antigenic phylogenetic properties. Methods. A total 369 334 nasopharyngeal, or nasal/throat swab samples, collected during 2012/2013 2013/2014 seasons, respectively, were tested using specific singleplex...
Medicine shortages in Serbia have evidently been present for several decades, but literature data are scarce. The aim of our study was to get an insight on the situation Serbia, review EU actions when managing shortages, and discern a set potential measures. A short survey conducted among 500 pharmacists public pharmacies, 23 cities Serbia. questions addressed frequency drug professional event main consequences patients putative causes, pivotal measures prevention/mitigation under current...
Among various arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), the flaviviruses stand out with regard to their number, geographic distribution and importance in both human veterinary medicine. West Nile virus is flavivirus, present endemic many European countries as well Serbia where it circulates horses, birds, humans mosquitoes. Usutu (USUV) flavivirus morphologically, antigenically, genetically ecologically very similar WNV, which neighbouring (Hungary, Croatia, Austria). The USUV maintained...

Sample consisted 250 young (19-26 years age) attending outpatient clinics screening gynecological examination. All...
A suspicion on West Nile virus (WNV) in Serbia was first reported 1972 by a seroprevalence study, after which no data were available for four decades. We report full sequence of the isolate obtained time from human sample Serbia. The closest clustering with lineage 2 WNV identified Greece 2010. Since emerged Europe 2004, cocirculation lineages 1 and 2-as observed Hungary Italy-cannot be excluded. reinforcement surveillance will required to investigate possible two burden local population.
At present, two influenza A viruses, H1N1pdm09 and H3N2, along with B virus co-circulate in the human population, causing endemic seasonal epidemic acute febrile respiratory infections, sometimes life-threatening complications. Detection of viruses nasopharyngeal swab samples was done by real-time RT-PCR. There were 60.2% (53/88) positive 2010/11, 63.4% (52/82) 2011/12, 49.9% (184/369) 2012/13. Among patients, predominant during first seasons, while type more active Subtyping revealed...
