ABSTRACT: The increasing consumption of single-head broccoli is due to several factors, among them there are food production in minimally processing form and the existence of hybrids that adapt to various climates, in addition to the simple harvesting of this typical architecture.This study aimed to identify the most relevant plant characters of broccoli, represented by growth characters, which are determinant in the production and canopy area. The study was conducted in an experimental area in Pato Branco city, PR. The 11 characters were evaluated for 365 plants, spaced with 0.8x0.5m, on a blank experiment. The characters of group 1 (height, number of leaves, stem height, stem diameter) were evaluated on the 21 and 58 day after transplanting (DAT), and the leaf area was evaluated on the 17 and 32 DAT. The characters of group 2 were quantity of fresh head mass and canopy area. At the initial stage of cultivation, on the 17 and 21 DAT, variations in the plants characters did not lead toany variation in production. The higher number of leaves and the larger stem diameter on the 58 DAT determined the greater mass of the broccoli heads.

Mangrove forests have important role in coastal ecosystems, for example to overcome marine abrasion, bird nesting sites, forming ecological balance, capturing and localizing sediments, preventing soil acidity and inhibiting sea water intrusion. The success of mangrove reforestation is largely determined by the success in preparing mangrove seedlings. Nursery beds made of bamboo to accommodate 4 species of mangrove seedlings, that are Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Rhizopora apiculata, Rhizopora mucronata and Rhizopora stylosa with 6 replications and each of 3 individuals of each type. The variables measured were plant height, number of leaves and stem diameter. Statistical analysis with the Costat & Co. program The results showed that the average growth of stem height from the 4 mangrove seedlings measured from 6 -13 MST was 1.5 cm, 1.4 cm, 0.8 cm and 0.7 cm respectively. The average number of leaves from the 4 mangrove seedlings were 0.6, 1.2, 0.6, and 0.6 strands respectively and the average stem diameter of the 4 mangrove seedlings was 0.1 cm. The mangrove seedlings of Rhizopora mucronata and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza species that produced higher growth rates of stem height than others, and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza which produced the highest average number of leaves compared to the other three types.

Pepper trees have great ornamental value due to the varied colors of their fruits. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the Pyramid cultivar's production in different cultivation environments using benches with reflective material. The experiment was carried out in two protected environments: a) agricultural greenhouse with 42-50% shade screen under the plastic film and b) agricultural screen with black monofilament screen with 18% shade. Inside the environments, the production system was tested with and without reflective material on the cultivation bench. The experiments were conducted in a completely randomized design, with four replicates and six plants per plot. Joint analysis was used to compare environments. At 45, 60, and 75 days after transplantation, plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, canopy area, and number of fruits were evaluated. The agricultural greenhouse with a 42/50% shade screen under the plastic film provided the formation of higher plants with greater stem diameter, greater number of leaves and fruits, and greater top diameter than the screen with 18% shading. The reflective mirror material showed positive results only for plant height.

One of the obstacles to the production of cowpea is the intensity of weed infestations that may interfere with its productivity. The objective of this work was to evaluate the tolerance of cowpea, cultivar BRS Guariba, to the herbicides Linuromand Quizalofope-P Etílico, in the initial stage of development of the crop. The experiment was conducted in sequestrationsystem, emergency irrigation underfield conditions in experimental design with randomized blocks, nine treatments and four replicates. The treatments evaluated were: 50% Quizalofope-P-Ethyl; 50% of Linurom; 100% Quizalofope-P-Ethyl; 100% of Linurom; 50% Quizalofope-P-Ethyl+ 50% Linurom; 50% Quizalofope-P-Ethyl+ 100% Linurom; 100% Quizalofope-P-Ethyl+ 50% Linurom; 100% of Quizalofope-P-Ethyl+ 100% of Linurom,and Manual weeding (control). Visual evaluations of weed control, phytotoxicity, plant height, number of leaves and stem diameter were performed. The cowpea plants, BRS Guariba cultivar, presented high tolerance tothe herbicides 50% and 50% in the post-emergence applications. The herbicide 100% Linurom and the formulation of the Quizalofope-P-Ethyl + Linurom cause severe damage to the development of cowpea. The herbicides blended with 100% of Quizalofope-P-Ethyland 100% of Linurom potentiatesthe effect of the herbicides on the cowpea crop, causing the death of the plants.

Objective. To compare parameters of 24-hour blood pressure (BP) monitoring in young men with normal, high normal BP and arterial hypertension 1 degree. Design and methods. 102 men (group 1 — 32 subjects with optimal and normal BP, group 2 — 34 subjects with high normal BP, group 3 — 36 men with 1 degree hypertension) underwent 24-hour BP monitoring, and parameters of BP loading and BP changes during the day night were assessed. Results. To a considerable extent subjects with high normal BP demonstrated hypertension at 24-hour BP monitoring, and are characterized by higher «loading pressure» and higher morning BP elevation compared to those with normal and optimal BP; in the group with higher BP the number of patients with normal night profile of BP decreases. Conclusions. Our data confirm that 24-hour BP monitoring should be performed in all patients with high normal BP, and the latest should be considered a group of a higher cardiovascular risk. The disorders of daily BP profile become more profound as arterial hypertension develops.

Acquired Cystic Disease of the Kidney (ACDK) has been increasingly noted in patients with long-standing renal failure and in those treated with dialysis. We assessed the prevalence of different patterns of cysts in 48 randomly selected patients treated with CAPD (23.1 ± 16.0 months). Only 3 patients had been previously treated with hemodialysis. All patients underwent renal ultrasonography (US) and nine underwent computerized tomography (CT). In 22 patients no cysts were found. The other 24 patients were Included In three different groups. Group 1: Cysts that predominate In the renal cortex from 0.3 to 3.0 cm In diameter: 14 patients. Group 2: Cysts less than 0.3 cm in diameter (granular-microcystic pattern): 4 patients. Group 3: SolItary cysts 1 to 3: 6 patients. US and CT are relIable and sensitive enough to detect cysts even smaller than 0.3 cm in diameter. The incidence of patients with renal cysts increases with the duration of CAPD. Cysts less than 0.3 cm In diameter (Group 2) could correspond to an initial stage of Group 1 cysts or to a new aspect of ACDK. Group 1 and Group 2 cysts were predominant In male patients, while Isolated renal cysts were more frequent in females.

In Ukraine more than 13,000 lower limb amputations are performed per year, of which about 8,000 are due to vascular lesions, and more than 3,000 are associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). The effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in group 1 was assessed by the VCSS-1 and VCSS-2 scales. At baseline, the total score of clinical severity of CVI was 20.9 points, and two weeks later – 15.71 points, which shows an improvement by 24.83% (p≤0.05). The effectiveness of PDT in group 2 was assessed by the S(AD) SAD-1 scales at baseline and S(AD) SAD-2 at 2 weeks. The overall score on the scale S(AD) SAD-1 was 13.91 points, two weeks later it improved by 11.65% (12.29 points), which shows a much slower rate of normalization of the clinical picture in patients with diabetes compared with CVI. The effectiveness of plasma therapy in group 1 was assessed by the VCSS-1 and VCSS-3 scales. The total score of clinical severity of CVI after 6 weeks of treatment was 9.72 points, indicating an improvement in clinical status by 53.49% from baseline (20.9 points) (p≤0.05). In group 2, the evaluation of the effectiveness of plasma therapy was based on a comparison of the scales S(AD) SAD-1 and S(AD) SAD-3. The overall score of clinical severity at 6 weeks was 6.39 points, indicating an improvement by 54.06% from baseline (13.91 points). Analysis of the ulcer healing dynamics in group 1 revealed 0 points (no active ulcers) in 87.5% of patients (28 patients), while in the remaining 4 patients the size of active ulcers was 1 point. In group 2, the dynamics of the area reduction showed slower results: in 74.2% of patients the TU area was 2 points, 0 points were achieved in 12.9% patients, in the remaining patients (12.9%) – 4 points. Due to using of combined scheme of basic therapy, supplemented with PDT at the initial stage and plasma therapy in the granulation phase, it was possible to improve the dynamics of the rate of healing of TU and reduce the duration of treatment.

Objective. To study the dynamics of the content of sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and iron of the serum and determine the possibility of their use as prognostic criteria for the outcome of treatment of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).Material and methods. Two groups were formed of 76 patients with TBI. Group 1 - 46 patients with a favorable outcome of treatment, group 2-30 patients with an adverse outcome. Serum electrolytes between groups were compared during the first 10 days after craniotomy at 7 stages of the study.Results. Between groups of patients differences in the content of K+ at the initial stage of the study (1-2 hours before surgery); Na+ and Cl- at stage 2 of the study (11 (6; 17) hours after surgery) and iron at 5-7 stages of the study (at the 5th, 7th and 10th day after the operation) were revealed. At all stages of the study when comparing groups of patients by the content of phosphorus, magnesium and calcium in the blood serum no significant differences were revealed.Conclusion. The best predictor of an adverse TBI outcome was serum iron on the 5th day after surgery – 2.5 (1.9; 5.2) mmol/l, AUC=0.73, Se=68.8, Sp=60%; on the 7th day after the operation - 3.7 (2.6; 4.3) mmol/l, AUC=0.73,Se=64.7%, Sp=72%; on the 10th day after the operation, 3.6 (1.9; 5.7) μmol/l, AUC=0.69, Se=73.7%, Sp=52.4%.

Summary. Background: Prosthetic vascular graft infection (PVGI) is a complication with high mortality. Cyanoacrylate (CA) is an adhesive which has been used in a number of surgical procedures. In this in-vivo study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between PVGI and CA. Materials and methods: Thirty-two rats were equally divided into four groups. Pouch was formed on back of rats until deep fascia. In group 1, vascular graft with polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) was placed into pouch. In group 2, MRSA strain with a density of 1 ml 0.5 MacFarland was injected into pouch. In group 3, 1 cm 2 vascular graft with PET piece was placed into pouch and MRSA strain with a density of 1 ml 0.5 MacFarland was injected. In group 4, 1 cm 2 vascular graft with PET piece impregnated with N-butyl cyanoacrylate-based adhesive was placed and MRSA strain with a density of 1 ml 0.5 MacFarland was injected. All rats were scarified in 96th hour, culture samples were taken where intervention was performed and were evaluated microbiologically. Bacteria reproducing in each group were numerically evaluated based on colony-forming unit (CFU/ml) and compared by taking their average. Results: MRSA reproduction of 0 CFU/ml in group 1, of 1410 CFU/ml in group 2, of 180 200 CFU/ml in group 3 and of 625 300 CFU/ml in group 4 was present. A statistically significant difference was present between group 1 and group 4 (p < 0.01), between group 2 and group 4 (p < 0.01), between group 3 and group 4 (p < 0.05). In terms of reproduction, no statistically significant difference was found in group 1, group 2, group 3 in themselves. Conclusions: We observed that the rate of infection increased in the cyanoacyrylate group where cyanoacrylate was used. We think that surgeon should be more careful in using CA in vascular surgery.

Abstract. Summary: Background: This pilot study was set up to examine the effects of a continuous postoperative wound infusion system with a local anaesthetic on perioperative pain and the consumption of analgesics. Patients and methods: We included 42 patients in this prospective observational pilot study. Patients were divided into two groups. One group was treated in accordance with the WHO standard pain management protocol and in addition to that received a continuous local wound infusion treatment (Group 1). Group 2 was treated with analgesics in accordance with the WHO standard pain management protocol, exclusively. Results: The study demonstrated a significantly reduced postoperative VAS score for stump pain in Group 1 for the first 5 days. Furthermore, the intake of opiates was significantly reduced in Group 1 (day 1, Group 1: 42.1 vs. Group 2: 73.5, p = 0.010; day 2, Group 1: 27.7 vs. Group 2: 52.5, p = 0.012; day 3, Group 1: 23.9 vs. Group 2: 53.5, p = 0.002; day 4, Group 1: 15.7 vs. Group 2: 48.3, p = 0.003; day 5, Group 1 13.3 vs. Group 2: 49.9, p = 0.001). There were no significant differences between the two groups, neither in phantom pain intensity at discharge nor postoperative complications and death. Conclusions: Continuous postoperative wound infusion with a local anaesthetic in combination with a standard pain management protocol can reduce both stump pain and opiate intake in patients who have undergone transfemoral amputation. Phantom pain was not significantly affected.

SummaryWe have previously shown abnormalities of haemostasis suggestive of intravascular coagulation in patients with malignant hypertension, a condition associated with retinopathy and renal fibrin deposition. To determine whether such abnormalities are specific to malignant hypertension, we have measured several haemostatic and haemorheological variables in 18 patients with malignant hypertension (Group 1), 18 matched healthy controls (Group 2), and 18 patients with non-malignant hypertension (Group 3) matched for renal pathology, blood pressure and serum creatinine with Group 1. Both Groups 1 and 3 had increased mean levels of fibrinogen, factor VIIIc, beta-thrombo- globulin, plasma viscosity and blood viscosity (corrected for haematocrit); and decreased mean levels of haematocrit, antithrombin III and platelet count. Mean levels of fast antiplasmin and alpha2-macroglobulin were elevated in Group 1 but not in Group 3. We conclude that most blood abnormalities are not specific to malignant hypertension; are also present in patients with non-malignant hypertension who have similar levels of blood pressure and renal damage; and might result from renal damage as well as promoting further renal damage by enhancing fibrin deposition. However increased levels of fibrinolytic inhibitors in malignant hypertension merit further investigation in relation to removal of renal fibrin.
