MILITARY PHARMACY IN THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN MONARCHY AND ITS DEVELOPMENT AFTER THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PROFESSIONAL MILITARY PHARMACY IN 1794 - PART II
Karel Král, Barbora Bastlová
VZL 2001, 70(1):27-32
Until I794 pharmaceutical support of the army was solved with the help of civilian pharmacists. As a result of an often lower quality of provided services, a professional military pharmacy - Military Medication Régie - came into existence in 1794. In accordance with medical support needs of the army, garrison hospital pharmacies and garrison pharmacies were built. Military pharmacists - clerks of Military Medication Régie — had their own ranks and were assigned to military pharmacies according to the need. A military pharmaceutical distribution system and a military pharmacopoeia were created and in the case of war a system of field pharmacies...
EPIBATIDINE AND ANALOGS - NEW TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF COGNITIVE ENHANCERS AND STRONG ANALGETICS
Jiří Patočka, Marie Koupilová, Kräuff Schwanhauser Wullf, Maria Victoria Marini Palomeque
VZL 2001, 70(1):33-38
Epibatidine, the natural alkaloid isolated from the skin of the Ecuadorian rainforest poison-dart frog, Epipedobates tricolor and some of its synthetically prepared analogs are strong selective agonists of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. All of these substances have an analgesic effect and could be used in medical practice. This is very promising for medicine in the fight against pain as well as against dementia, because nicotinic agonists have been found to improve the performance of a variety of memory tasks in rodents and they are probably beneficial in Alzheimer’s disease treatment.
POSSIBILITIES OF PROTEIN EXPRESSION MEASUREMENT IN IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL APOPTOSIS DETECTION IN THE IRRADIATED LUNG TISSUE EXAMPLE

This study observes the development of apoptotic changes in type II pneumocytes in a time interval of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 12 weeks after local irradiation of the lungs with 15 Gy. We also measured the number of neutrophils in the lung tissue. Elevation of the apoptotic cells was observed 2 weeks and 4 weeks after irradiation. An increase in neutrophil infiltration was observedfrom 5 weeks after irradiation.
