Abstract

The aim of this study was to detect the concentrations of PCSK9 in various subclinical stages of atherosclerosis and to highlight its relationship with inflammation. One hundred and fifty-nine healthy patients were divided into three groups, based on the extent of atherosclerotic changes in the carotid artery: a group without identifiable atherosclerosis, cIMT>75‰ and an asymptomatic plaque group. The PCSK9 was measured by ELISA and hsCRP by the immunoturbidimetric method. Vascular changes were identified by a carotid ultrasound. PCSK9 was elevated, when comparing the healthy group with the cIMT>75‰ group; however, no significant increase was detected between cIMT>75‰ and the asymptomatic plaque group. A positive linear correlation of the PCSK9 concentration and atherosclerotic changes was found; however, after the re-analysis in each group, this correlation persisted only in the group with still normal values. Additionally, a significant linear correlation was found between the PCSK9 concentrations and lipid parameters. However, no significant association was found with hsCRP. PCSK9 was found to be elevated only in cIMT>75‰, but not in the later plaque stage. A linear correlation of PCSK9 values was detected only in the group with still reference values. Based on this fact, we assumed the direct linear role of PCSK9 in initiating atherosclerosis; however, in the later phases, the relationship, which highlights other risk factors such as inflammation, is not linear.

Abstract

Arteria mesenterica superior pseudoaneurysm is a rare disease that may be caused by iatrogenic damage to the superior mesenteric artery pseudoaneurysm in pancreaticoduodenal surgeries, trauma, inflammatory processes in the abdominal cavity. The paper presents a case report of surgical treatment for arteria mesenterica superior pseudoaneurysm. Surgical resection of superior mesenteric artery pseudoaneurysm was performed. The patient’s postoperative course was complicated by arteria mesenterica superior occlusion; arterial reconstruction was performed :iliaco-mesenteric bypass using the great saphenous vein with subsequent segmental resection of the jejunum. A research case study indicated the complexity of the pathology such as visceral artery pseudoaneurysm at the stage of diagnosing as well as at the stage of selecting treatment tactics. Visceral organ ischemia is one of the severest complications in the postoperative period which can make the diagnosis difficult as well as complicating the selection of treatment tactics.

38. Poverty and Employment in Timber-Dependent Counties

Author

Hoffmann, Sandra, Berek, Peter, Costello, Christopher, and Fortmann, Louise

Abstract

One of the most controversial aspects of federal and state policies aimed at protecting old-growth ecosystems has been the potential impact of job losses on local economies. A fundamental question for historically timber-dependent communities is whether these policies will result in local economic stagnation and enduring pockets of poverty. In this paper, we examine the long-run impact of changes in timber-related employment on other types of employment and participation in major federal poverty programs. We use monthly, multi-county time series data to estimate a vector autoregressive model of the experience of northern California counties during the 1980s and 1990s. We find that employment base multiplier effects of timber employment on other types of employment in each county are small, and state economic conditions rather than local employment conditions are the principal driver behind local poverty.

ESSAYS, DEATH, LITERATURE, POETS
Abstract

The article presents information on the book "A Bill of Rites, A Bill of Wrongs, A Bill of Goods," by Wright Morris. One of Morris' better essays in this book is called "Reflections on the Death of the Reader." Morris, after fourteen novels, all worthwhile, some of them excellent, tries to tell us how we are, not in fiction but in fact. If the death of the reader has stifled Morris' imagination, the loss is serious, all the more because Morris is a better diagnostician when he lies like a poet than when he tells the truths of the social scientist. In his novels, Morris likes to take a small observed object, idea or phrase and let the imagination play with it.
