To determine oral health status and identify predictors of in a representative sample psychiatric in-patients Serbia.The study included 186 control participants without illness matched to the group by age, sex, marital status, education level, employment, monthly income. Dental examinations were done both groups measure following indices health: decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT) index; community periodontal plaque index. Participants also interviewed about their dental behavior medical...
In an attempt to produce better cytotoxic analogues, chemotherapeutic antineoplastic radicals including alkylating nitrogen mustard derivative of D-phenylalanine (D-melphalan), reactive cyclopropane, anthraquinone derivatives [2-(hydroxymethyl)anthraquinone and the anticancer antibiotic doxorubicin], antimetabolite (methotrexate) were coupled suitably modified agonists antagonists luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH). Analogues with D-lysine6 D-ornithine6 or N...
The effects of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) on uterine smooth muscle are not well studied. We have investigated the effect and mechanism action exogenous rat uteri contractile activity [spontaneous calcium ion (Ca(2+))-induced] such treatment anti-oxidative enzyme activities.Uteri were isolated from virgin Wistar rats suspended in an organ bath. Uteri allowed to contract spontaneously or presence Ca(2+) (6 mM) treated with H(2)O(2) (2 microM-3 over 2 h. Anti-oxidative activities (manganese...
The aim of this study was translating and exploring psychometric properties Serbian Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in a sample “good” “bad” sleepers suffering from depression or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Formal translation validation were performed on healthy controls, patients with untreated OSA, diagnosed major depressive disorder evaluation internal consistency, test–retest reliability, construct criterion validity. Controls OSA subgroups recruited larger commercial drivers....
Background/Aim. Previous studies on medical students? subjective perception of health and health-related quality life (HRQoL) showed inconclusive results. Moreover, there are no published to compare HRQoL students non-medical university students. The aim the study was assess in sample, it with stu-dents ascertain predictors better Methods. Scores all domains Mental Physical Component Summary subscales total score Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), used for assessment samples 561 332 were...
The prevalence of female alcohol and substance abusers has markedly increased. main objective this research was to explore personality profiles among females who had opiate dependence.The aim the study is analyse if there differences in addicted opiates. We hypothesized that might be significant subgroups women present with use disorders.Of 157 consecutive diagnosis alcohol/opiate addiction, 62 fulfilled following inclusion criteria: age 19-45 years, abstinence from opiates for at least 10...
In our study we have hypothesized that volume changes of amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex are more pronounced in male posttraumatic stress disorder participants.We conducted a 79 participants who underwent MRI brain scanning. PTSD diagnosis was confirmed 49 participants. After taken all scans were software based computed statistically processed.We found left amygdala is the most significant parameter for distinction between without PTSD. There no differences volumes hippocampi...
Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived plasma protein with insulin-sensitizing and anti-inflammatory properties suggested to be a biomarker of metabolic disturbances. The aim this study was investigate the effects alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) on adiponectin some risk factors in patients schizophrenia. adipokine levels (adiponectin leptin), routine biochemical anthropometric parameters, markers oxidative stress, serum phospholipid fatty profile eighteen schizophrenic at baseline, middle, end 3-month...
Students are particularly vulnerable from the mental health aspect, which was especially recognized during COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to reveal impact of on quality life (QoL) and among dental students. The conducted a sample 797 students (207 male 592 female) with an average age 21.7 ± 2.4, School Dental Medicine, University Belgrade. measurements used in were Demographic Academic Questionnaire, Questionnaire about exposure COVID-19, COVID-19-Impact QoL (COV19-QoL), Generalized...
Since inception of the alexithymia construct in 1970's, there has been a continuous effort to improve both its theoretical postulates and clinical utility through development, standardization validation assessment scales.The aim this study was validate Serbian translation 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) propose new method scales with property temporal stability.The scale expertly translated by bilingual medical professionals linguist, given sample participants from general...
Five hexapeptide and heptapeptide analogs of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) were synthesized for use as carriers cytotoxic compounds. These short expected to enhance target selectivity the antineoplastic agents linked them. Native LH-RH-(3-9) LH-RH-(4-9) containing D-lysine D-ornithine at position 6 amidated with ethylamine acylated on N terminus. The receptor-binding affinity one carrier AJ-41 (Ac-Ser-Tyr-D-Lys-Leu-Arg-Pro-NH-Et) human breast cancer cell membranes was similar...
Possible interactions between nitric oxide donors, reactive oxygen species and anti-oxidative defence enzymes led us to determine the activities of in isolated uterine smooth muscle before after spontaneous rhythmic activity ex vivo. For our experiments we used uteri from female Wistar rats. Our results showed an increase total superoxide dismutase (SOD) Mn SOD contractions when compared with nonexercised muscle. The catalase (CAT) glutathione preoxidase (GSH-Px) were also increased. No...
Several somatostatin analogs with recently synthesized acetylated N terminus were assayed In vivo for their effects on sodium pentobarbital-stimuiated growth hormone (GH) levels in fed male rats and gastrin-releasing peptide (14–27)-stimulated gastrin fasted rats. The binding characteristics of these to receptors also examined various human tumors normal tissues. analog RC-101–1, injected at a dose 0.1 μg/100 g body wt, significantly suppressed GH release (P < 0.01) least 2 hr. Analog...
In order to explore whether gender differences are present in self-reports on personality measures when all Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) participants diagnosed at an equal intensity, the aim of this study was investigate individual and between healthy those suffering from severe feature MDD.The sample consisted 632 participants: 385 control group 247 MDD, latter comprised patients their first episode or recurrent. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) used measure symptom severity....

The purpose of this study was to assess oxidative stress status parameters and their possible associations with traditional cardiovascular risk factors in patients schizophrenia, as well potential for patient-control discrimination. Methods. Fasting glucose, lipid profile were assessed 30 schizophrenic atypical antipsychotic therapy 60 control subjects. Results. Malondialdehyde (MDA), pro-oxidant/antioxidant balance (PAB) total anti-oxidant (TAS) significantly higher whereas...
