The study focused on the eel (length and weight averaging 23.1 cm and 13.7 g, respectively) ascending Pomeranian rivers in summers of 1999 - 2003. The swim bladder was examined in 322 individuals, the intestine being examined in 272 fish. Anguillicola crassus was present in the swim bladder of 184 fish. Infection prevalence varied between the rivers, the highest prevalence being recorded in the eel caught in the Radew (65.6%) and the lowest in the Wieprza (41.7%). The intensity of infection was generally low, the mean values varying from 2.1 in the Rega to 1.3 in the Wieprza. The coefficient of infection was low (0.11 to 0.12). Spinitectus inermis was present, with low intensity, in the intestine of 18 fish (6.6%). The nematode had not been recorded in the eel in Poland for 70 years. In addition, the intestine of the eel under study was found to house Raphidascaris acus and Paraquimperia tennerima, each present as a single larva. This is the first record of the latter in Poland. The infection of eel from the Radew river that stayed in the fresh water for a longer time was higher than that of the eel found in the Rega and Wieprza.

Rehabilitation Progress in Patients Following Surgery for Acute Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection Extending Beyond the Ascending Aorta.

Department of Medical Rehabilitation and Clinical Physiotherapy, Pomeranian Medical University, 70-204 Szczecin, Poland.
The objective of this study was to assess the course of rehabilitation of patients hospitalized in the cardiac rehabilitation unit after surgery for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection, extending beyond the ascending aorta, and comparing these findings with those for patients who, after the same type of surgery, had no remaining dissection. The aim was to develop an optimal cardiac rehabilitation model for this patient population, given the lack of clear guidelines. Additionally, the study aimed to evaluate their one-year survival.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is characterised by the co-occurrence of inflammatory bowel diseases, particularly ulcerative colitis (UC). We investigated how the interaction of miR-125b with the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)/ceramide axis may predispose patients with PSC, PSC/UC, and UC to carcinogenesis in the ascending and sigmoid colons. The overexpression of miR-125b was accompanied by the upregulation of S1P, ceramide synthases, ceramide kinases, and the downregulation of AT-rich interaction domain 2 in the ascending colon of PSC/UC, which contributed to the progression of high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) colorectal carcinoma.

Deficient mismatch repair (MMR) proteins may lead to DNA damage and microsatellite instability. Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a risk factor for colitis-associated colon cancer. MiR-155 is suggested to act as a key regulating node, linking inflammation and tumorigenesis.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is commonly accompanied by ulcerative colitis (UC). MicroRNA-506 modulates expression of genes which are essential for sphingosine-mediated signaling pathway and intestinal mucosa protection. We investigated whether miR-506 and its target genes are involved in phenotypic presentations of colonic inflammation and/or neoplasia.

Background: The pathogenesis of thoracic aortopathy is complex, and much evidence suggests the influence of genetic factors. Some genes with polymorphisms are widely considered critical factors in the initiation and development of aortic aneurysm. The aim of our study was to analyze the association of genetic polymorphisms of rs1799750 (c.
