Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of various taurolidine solutions in the prevention and treatment of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) caused by the entire spectrum of microbes in patients receiving parenteral nutrition in a shorter period of time. METHODS The in vitro method was used to test for eradication of biofilm. Different locks were used: TauroSept (2%), TauroLock (1.35%), TauroLock half concentration, and 3.5% taurolidine and tested on Staphylococcus (S.) epidermidis, S. aureus, S. hominis, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), Pseudomonas (P.) aeruginosa (PSAE), multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa (MR PSAE), vancomycin-resistant enterococci, Klebsiella pneumoniae producing carbapenemase (KPC), Klebsiella pneumoniae producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (KLPN ESBL), Candida (C.) albicans, and C. glabrata. Broviac catheters were incubated for growth of each organism and then incubated in lock solutions. Colony forming units (CFUs) were then counted after 30 min, 60 min, and 120 min of incubation. RESULTS A statistically significant decrease in CFUs was observed after 30 min of taurolidine exposure for S. hominis, PSAE, KLPN ESBL, KLPN KPC, C. albicans, and C. glabrata; after 60 min of exposure for S. epidermidis, PSAE, MR PSAE, KLPN ESBL, KPC, C. albicans, and C. glabrata; and after 120 min of exposure for S. epidermidis, S. hominis, S. aureus, PSAE, MR PSAE, KLPN ESBL, KPC, C. albicans, C. glabrata. CONCLUSIONS The application of taurolidine is effective in the treatment of CRBSIs. Taurolidine proved to be more effective against Gram-negative microorganisms during a 30-min exposure. Using 0.675% taurolidine is still effective. To achieve the required antimicrobial effect, the catheter must be sanitized for at least 2 h.

Abstract
AIMS Increased plasma soluble endoglin concentrations (sEng) are frequently detected in metabolic disorders accompanied with hypercholesterolemia in serum, but effect of sEng on the cholesterol biochemistry is unknown. Cholesterol and bile acids (BA) are important products of liver metabolism with numerous functions within the organism. Turnover of these substances requires precise regulation due to potential toxicities during their cumulation. In this study, we hypothesized that high sEng levels affect cholesterol homeostasis and BA turnover in mice liver. MAIN METHODS Nine-month-old transgenic male mice overexpressing human sEng and wild-type mice underwent plasma, bile, stool, and organ samples analysis by analytical, qRT-PCT and Western blot methods. KEY FINDINGS sEng mice demonstrated decreased plasma total and LDL cholesterol concentrations due to upregulation of hepatic Sr-b1 and Ldlr receptors, increased liver cholesterol content, and increased Abcg8-mediated cholesterol efflux into bile. sEng also increased conversion of cholesterol into bile acids (BA) via upregulation of Cyp7a1 and increased Mdr1 expression. Plasma concentrations of BA were increased in sEng mice due to their enhanced reabsorption via ileum. Increased hepatic disposition of BA led to their increased biliary excretion coupled with choleretic activity. SIGNIFICANCE For the first time, we have shown that high sEng plasma levels affect cholesterol and BA homeostasis on the basis of complex liver and intestinal effects. The significance of these findings for pathophysiology of diseases associated with increased sEng concentrations remains to be elucidated in prospective studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Venous access used for parenteral nutrition (PN) application is extremely important for patients with intestinal failure. Potential loss of venous access might be a catastrophy for the patient. Catheter infections are a serious complication of PN application. Systemic administration of antibiotics as well as local antibiotic locks into the catheter to sterilize the catheter are used to treat catheter infections. However, there is no clear recommendation applying use of antibiotic locks, that would specify the type and concentration of antimicrobial medication. Our objective were to compare the efficacy of different types of antimicrobial lock therapy (especially taurolidine) and their concentrations to eradicate infectious agents. METHODS Bacterial strains of microorganisms (Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa, Candida albicans) were used. Subsequently, the catheter was exposed to the microbes and then was incubated with a specific lock for 2 or 24 h at 37 °C. We used these locks: ethanol 70%, taurolidine, gentamicine in concentrations 0,5, 1 and 10 mg/ml and vancomycine in concentrations 1, 5, and 10 mg/ml. The number of remaining CFU (colony forming units) was compared after incubation. RESULTS 70% ethanol and taurolidine were most effective for all studied microorganisms. Gentamicine was more effective than vancomycine. CONCLUSIONS The most effective antimicrobial lock solutions to eradicate selected pathogenic agents were ethanol and taurolidine. Use of antibiotics is often effective after many hours of treatment and there is a risk of inadequate therapy.

Abstract
AIM Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) increases mortality of patients with type 1 diabetes (Type 1 DM). We set out to find out whether the presence of CAN in asymptomatic, normotensive Type 1 DM affects endothelial function (marker of atherogenesis) and left ventricle function (marker of cardiomyopathy). METHODS Twenty-one Type 1 DM with CAN (Group A) and 35 Type 1 DM without CAN (Group B) were enrolled in the study. None of them suffered from any cardiovascular disease nor advanced chronic complications of diabetes. Both groups were comparable in age, glycemic control, BMI, and blood pressure. Markers of endothelial dysfunction and chronic inflammation were used as indicators of incipient atherogenesis. Left ventricle function was evaluated using echocardiography. RESULTS Both groups did not differ in any parameter of atherogenesis. However we found a statistically significant difference in values characterizing systolic and diastolic left ventricle functions between the groups. CONCLUSIONS CAN is not associated with elevation of markers of endothelial dysfunction and chronic inflammation in normotensive asymptomatic Type 1 DM. However CAN is associated with the impairment of systolic and diastolic left ventricle function and can thus be regarded as one of the risk factors of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Hyperglycaemia is the common characteristic for diabetes patients. Prolonged hyperglycaemia due to absolute or relative lack of insulin is the cause of microangiopathy. Glucose reacts with both blood vessel wall proteins and plasmatic proteins and erythrocyte haemoglobin. This characteristic of glucose is used to monitor the level of diabetes compensation. The level of glycated haemoglobin reflects glycaemia for the last 2 to 3 months. It began to be used in diabetology in the 1980's. This outline paper deals with some of the pitfalls with which glycated haemoglobin has been recently associated. The first part is dedicated to factors influencing haemoglobin glycation. The second, methodological part focuses on factors influencing its assessment and interpretation. The third part concentrates on the options for the substitution ofglycated haemoglobin by other diabetes compensation markers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enteral nutrition is indicated in patients with malnutrition due to inadequate peroral intake. A number of these patients have diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of fiber-enriched enteral nutrition on postprandial glycemia and insulinemia. METHODS Ten healthy volunteers consumed the following solutions: A. 50 g of glucose, B. enteral formula containing 50 g of saccharides, and C. enteral formula containing 50 g of saccharides enriched with 2.3 g of fiber/100 mL. Postprandial glycemia and insulinemia were measured in time period after administration of specified nutrition. Time courses of glycemia and insulinemia were used for calculation of areas under the curve (AUC). The glycemic (GlyI) and insulinemic (InsI) indices of the nutrition were subsequently derived from AUC. Every measurement was performed 3 times for given type of nutrition. RESULTS Results are presented as median and interquartile range. GlyI of enteral nutrition was 85.76 (82.71-87.82), GlyI of enteral nutrition with fiber was 84.61 (80.31-94.39). InsI of enteral nutrition was 114.15 (106.55-137.71); InsI of enteral nutrition with fiber was 104.10 (96.71-127.96). The GlyI and InsI results did not differ significantly. Addition of fiber into enteral nutrition did not influence postprandial glycemia in comparison with common enteral nutrition. CONCLUSIONS Added fiber in polymerous enteral nutrition does not influence postprandial glycemia compared with polymerous enteral nutrition without fiber.
