MECHANISMS OF APOPTOSIS DEVELOPMENT AND POSSIBILITIES OF ITS USE IN CLINICAL PRACTICE

Jan Österreicher, Viktor Meineke, Aleš Macela, Dirk van Beuningen

VZL 2000, 69(5):193-198  

Apoptosis, contrary to necrosis, is a specific phenomenon at the end of a cell-life. This paper presents current knowledge about apoptosis development and mechanisms, a new categorisation of apoptosis by time and by type of its development mechanisms. Next, two points of no return for the apoptotic process as well as the possibilities of detection in experimental work are described. Finally, possibilities for the use of apoptosis in clinical practice are mentioned.

TOXICOLOGY OF URANIUM

VZL 2000, 69(5):199-205  

During the 1990s depleted uranium began to be used in military industry for the production of armoured shields and ammunition prepared for the destruction of tanks and armoured vehicles. The use of ammunition containing depleted uranium in military conflicts brings with it the danger of exposing participants in military conflicts to uranium. Inhalation exposures are considered to be the most dangerous. Depleted uranium is harmful especially from the point of view of its chemical toxicity. Basic knowledge about the toxikinetics and toxidynamics of uranium with a stress on its possible acute toxic effects on various organ systems is described in this...

THE PROBABILITY IN THE EXCEL T-TEST

The power function graph and the random simulation graph justifiy the use of a high level of significance a = 0.95 for testing the class of null hypotheses H0: μ1 ≠ μ2 and entitle us to use a relatively low level of significance a = 0.05 for testing null hypothesis H0: μ1 = μ2. The unequality testing results (H0: μ1 ≠  μ2) have a few times higher information validity than the equality testing results (H0: μ1 = μ2). In experimental biology rule that the experiments should be set up in such a way that key statistical evaluation of the whole experimental...

NOVEMBER 17, 1939 AND THE STUDIES OF CZECHOSLOVAK MEDICAL STUDENTS IN GREAT BRITAIN DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR

František Dohnal

VZL 2000, 69(5):231-238  

This study deals with November 17, 1939 and the events which led to this day becoming an International Students’ Day. This happened thanks to Czechoslovak Students who were at that time soldiers - personnel of the Czechoslovak military unit in Great Britain. Now more than 60 years have passed since the beginning of the creation of this unit. Czechoslovak soldiers contributed significantly to the implementation ofan idea to have our medical students complete their studies at the British medical faculties during the Second World War. It was an extraordinary situation because the operation of Czech university educational system was interrupted by...

THE REORGANIZATION OF MILITARY PHARMACY AFTER THE CREATION OF THE INDEPENDENT CZECHOSLOVAK REPUBLIC

Karel Král

VZL 2000, 69(5):239-244  

The Czechoslovak Republic, which came into existence in I918, had to solve a number of tasks in the military area. One of the most important tasks was to build an army to defend the new state. When the army was formed it was important to create a system of medical support. During its creation the importance of reorganizing military pharmacy became apparent. Twelve pharmacies came into existence at division hospitals and garrison pharmacies came into existence at garrison hospitals. In order to supply military hospitals and pharmacies with medical material and drugs, "medical warehouses" were built in Josefov, Hodonín and Liptovský Mikuláš. The solution...
