Abstract
Tight relationships exist in the local Universe between the central stellar properties of galaxies and the mass of their supermassive black hole (SMBH)1-3. These suggest that galaxies and black holes co-evolve, with the main regulation mechanism being energetic feedback from accretion onto the black hole during its quasar phase4-6. A crucial question is how the relationship between black holes and galaxies evolves with time; a key epoch to examine this relationship is at the peaks of star formation and black hole growth 8-12 billion years ago (redshifts 1-3)7. Here we report a dynamical measurement of the mass of the black hole in a luminous quasar at a redshift of 2, with a look back in time of 11 billion years, by spatially resolving the broad-line region (BLR). We detect a 40-μas (0.31-pc) spatial offset between the red and blue photocentres of the Hα line that traces the velocity gradient of a rotating BLR. The flux and differential phase spectra are well reproduced by a thick, moderately inclined disk of gas clouds within the sphere of influence of a central black hole with a mass of 3.2 × 108 solar masses. Molecular gas data reveal a dynamical mass for the host galaxy of 6 × 1011 solar masses, which indicates an undermassive black hole accreting at a super-Eddington rate. This suggests a host galaxy that grew faster than the SMBH, indicating a delay between galaxy and black hole formation for some systems.

Abstract
The complexation reactions of phosphocholine and pyrimidine nucleosides as well as nucleotides with copper(II) ions were studied in the water system. Using potentiometric methods and computer calculations, the stability constants of the species were determined. Using spectroscopic methods such as UV-vis, EPR, 13C NMR, 31P NMR, FT-IR and CD, the coordination mode was established for complexes created in pH range 2.5-11.0. These studies will lead to a better understanding the role of copper(II) ions in living organisms and explain the interactions between them and the studied bioligands. The differences and similarities between nucleosides and nucleotides in the studied systems were also described, which testify to the significant influence of phosphate groups on the processes of metal ion complexation and interactions between ligands.

Abstract
Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) in sheep (Ovis aries) is caused by Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium caprae. Even though sheep have been considered less sensitive to BTB than other ruminants, they have been subject to increasing numbers of tuberculosis cases and it has been suggested that they may act as a disease reservoir in some regions. Aim of the study: Following a report of tuberculous-like gross lesions (repeated cases of purulent or caseous lymphadenitis and a single case of serosal tubercles on the peritoneum) from veterinarians working in a slaughterhouse in the Małopolskie Voivodeship, southern Poland, the aim of this study was to conduct ante-mortem BTB diagnostics in three flocks with suspected BTB. The animals for testing were selected randomly from the flocks; a blood sample for interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) and a single tuberculin skin test (TST) was performed on each sheep. All TST results were negative. The IGRA result was positive in two ewes from the same flock (four and five years of age); these two sheep were tested microbiologically using Stonebrink and Löwenstein-Jensen media. No gross lesions suggesting BTB were observed, and the culture results were negative. Based on the positive IGRA results, together with its high specificity in sheep, and the potential risk to humans posed by consuming local unpasteurized dairy products, we recommend introducing serological BTB screening in sheep from this area, and subjecting the positive results to confirmation by culture.

Abstract
BackgroundBranebrutinib (BMS-986195) is a highly potent and selective irreversible small-molecule covalent inhibitor of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK),1 a non-receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the pathophysiology of immune-mediated diseases. Branebrutinib has the potential to be best in its class, as it achieves ~100% BTK occupancy in humans, sustained over a 24-hour dosing interval at low doses (≤ 10 mg once daily [QD]) despite its short half-life (≤ 2 hours),2 and demonstrates potent efficacy in murine models of immune-mediated diseases.1 Branebrutinib is under clinical study in multiple autoimmune inflammatory disorders such as RA, systemic lupus erythematosus, primary Sjögren’s syndrome, and atopic dermatitis. In vitro drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies with branebrutinib predicted pharmacokinetic DDI potential with substrates of cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 and the breast cancer resistant protein drug transporter.ObjectivesTo assess the DDI potential of branebrutinib when co-administered with potential concomitant medications and probe substrates of major drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) and drug transporters.MethodsDDI risk with branebrutinib was assessed in 3 single-sequence, cross-over clinical studies in healthy participants. In the first 2-part study, MTX was administered alone or with steady-state (SS) branebrutinib (10 mg QD) in part 1; in part 2, caffeine, montelukast, flurbiprofen, omeprazole, midazolam, digoxin, and pravastatin were taken with or without SS branebrutinib (9 mg QD). In the second study, rosuvastatin was taken alone or with SS branebrutinib (9 mg QD). In cycle 1 of the third study, the oral contraceptive (OC) loestrin (1.5 mg norethindrone/30 μg ethinyl estradiol) was taken alone; in cycle 2, SS branebrutinib (9 mg QD) was taken alone or with the OC.ResultsWeak DDI with montelukast (CYP2C8) was observed, leading to a mild increase in montelukast exposure (max concentration [Cmax], 56%; area under the curve [AUC], 27%).

Abstract
Introduction Psychodrama and Drama therapy enable patients to establish contact with the threat of stepping into a given role. This gives the opportunity to learn how to control it, which leads to better expression of oneself and better communication with the environment. Those qualities are crucial in the treatment of mental disorders. Despite the variety of literature describing the methodology, clinical trials using these forms of therapy are relatively rare. Objectives To describe the current trends in psychodrama (PD) and drama (DT) research over the last 6 years. Methods We have implemented a systematic approach to literature review, consistent with the PRISMA declaration. We searched through major medical databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus by Elsevier and Science Direct for peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2020. We have included studies using all types of methodology: mixed, quantitative and qualitative and also case studies. The risk of bias was assessed for randomized clinical trials, consistent with the PRISMA declaration. Results Using our search strategy we have identified 24 publications with 454 participants. Most of the subjects were adults, only four studies focused on children. Overall, these studies looked at the effects of PD i DT on more than 25 different outcomes. Therefore theatre - based therapies research reports promising results across all methodologies. Although, most of the interventions have small groups of clients and are not randomized. Conclusions Current reports on the effectiveness of PD and DT still need to be verified on a larger group of patients. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
BackgroundPsoriatic arthritis (PsA) treatment guidelines recommend that patients (pts) inadequately responding to conventional synthetic DMARDs (csDMARDs) can be treated with targeted synthetic DMARDs with or without background use of csDMARDs. Deucravacitinib (DEUC) is a novel, oral, selective, allosteric inhibitor of tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) that binds to the unique TYK2 regulatory domain, thereby suppressing signaling of key cytokines (eg, IL-23) involved in PsA pathogenesis. In a Phase 2 trial in pts with active PsA, DEUC was well tolerated and significantly more efficacious than placebo (PBO) after 16 weeks of treatment.1ObjectivesThis analysis further evaluated the effect of DEUC in this Phase 2 trial in pts treated with and without background csDMARDs for 16 weeks.MethodsThis double-blind trial (NCT03881059) enrolled pts with active PsA who had either failed or were intolerant to ≥1 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, corticosteroid, csDMARD, and/or 1 TNF inhibitor (TNFi; up to 30%). Pts were randomised 1:1:1 to DEUC 6 mg once daily (QD) or 12 mg QD, or PBO. A post hoc subgroup analysis in pts with and without background csDMARD use assessed improvements in select clinical outcomes (ACR 20 response, and change from baseline in ACR components, Psoriasis Area and Severity Index total score, and Psoriatic Arthritis Disease Activity Score) at Week 16.ResultsBaseline (BL) demographics, clinical characteristics, and disease activity were generally similar among pts with and without background csDMARD use. At BL, background csDMARD use was 64.3%, 64.2%, and 66.7% and methotrexate use was 50.0%, 55.2%, and 59.1% in the DEUC 6 mg QD, 12 mg QD, and PBO groups, respectively. Pts with and without background csDMARD use showed similar improvements at Week 16 with DEUC treatment versus PBO on most clinical measures, pt-reported outcomes, and composite measures (Table 1 and Figure 1). No clinically meaningful differences in adverse events (AEs) were observed in pts with or without background csDMARD use.Table 1.Adjusted mean (SE) change from baseline at Week 16 in clinical outcomes by csDMARD usePBO w/o csDMARD (n=22)PBO w csDMARD (n=44)DEUC 6 mg QD w/o csDMARD (n=25)DEUC 6 mg QD w csDMARD (n=45)DEUC 12 mg QD w/o csDMARD (n=24)DEUC 12 mg QD w csDMARD (n=43)Swollen joint count-4.7 (1.4)-5.0 (0.9)-7.4 (1.4)-6.8 (0.9)-8.4 (1.3)-7.7 (1.0)Tender joint count-5.3 (2.2)-6.6 (1.3)-6.4 (2.2)-11.3 (1.3)-11.5 (2.0)-11.6 (1.4)Physician’s Global Assessment of Disease Activity-20.6 (5.6)-20.6 (3.7)-29.1 (5.8)-32.6 (3.5)-30.1 (5.3)-32.1 (3.9)Patients’ Global Assessment of Disease Activity-14.9 (5.8)-13.4 (3.9)-23.0 (5.9)-28.4 (3.8)-28.2 (5.4)-24.9 (4.2)Pain-14.7 (5.6)-14.6 (3.9)-22.7 (5.7)-26.2 (3.7)-25.5 (5.3)-25.5 (4.2)HAQ-DI-0.23 (0.11)-0.04 (0.09)-0.31 (0.11)-0.38 (0.08)-0.48 (0.10)-0.34 (0.09)hsCRP12.0 (5.3)-4.4 (2.1)-10.1 (5.3)-13.3 (2.0)-4.9 (4.9)-10.0 (2.2)PASI total score2.5 (1.4)-2.3 (0.7)-3.7 (1.4)-4.0 (0.6)-4.0 (1.3)-4.9 (0.7)PASDAS-0.9 (0.4)-1.2 (0.3)-1.8 (0.4)-2.1 (0.2)-2.2 (0.3)-2.1 (0.3)The number of patients with data available for individual endpoints may vary.csDMARD, conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug; DEUC, deucravacitinib; HAQ-DI, Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index; hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; PASDAS, Psoriatic Arthritis Disease Activity Score; PASI, Psoriasis Area and Severity Index; PBO, placebo; QD, once daily; SE, standard error; w, with; w/o, without.ConclusionThese analyses demonstrate that the efficacy of DEUC for the treatment of PsA was similar in pts with and without background csDMARD use.

Abstract
BackgroundTyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) is an intracellular kinase in the Janus kinase (JAK) family that mediates the signalling of multiple cytokines, including those central to the immunopathogenesis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), such as IL-23. Deucravacitinib (DEUC) is a novel, oral, selective, allosteric inhibitor of TYK2 that acts by binding to the unique regulatory domain on the enzyme. In a Phase 2 trial in patients with active PsA, DEUC was significantly more efficacious than placebo (PBO) after 16 weeks of treatment and was well tolerated.1ObjectivesThis analysis further evaluated the effect of DEUC in this trial on achievement of individual components of minimal disease activity (MDA).MethodsThis double-blind, multicenter Phase 2 trial (NCT03881059) enrolled patients (n=203) with a PsA diagnosis ≥6 months who fulfilled Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis at screening and had active joint disease (≥3 tender and ≥3 swollen joints), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ≥3 mg/L, and ≥1 plaque psoriasis lesion (≥2 cm). Eligible patients had failed or were intolerant to ≥1 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, conventional synthetic DMARD, and/or 1 tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (≤30%). Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive PBO, DEUC 6 mg once daily (QD), or 12 mg QD. The percentage of patients achieving MDA (5/7: tender joint count [TJC] ≤1, swollen joint count [SJC] ≤1, tender entheseal points [TEP] ≤1, Patient Global Assessment of disease activity [PtGA] ≤20, Patient Global Assessment of pain [Pain] ≤15, Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index [HAQ-DI] ≤0.5, and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index [PASI] ≤1 or body surface area [BSA] ≤3%) as well as proportions of patients achieving each of the MDA components in all patients, MDA responders, and nonresponders were assessed through Week 16.ResultsOf 203 patients randomized, 180 (89%) completed 16 weeks of treatment (PBO, 58/66 [88%]; DEUC 6 mg QD, 63/70 [90%]; DEUC 12 mg QD, 59/67 [88%]). Demographic and baseline disease characteristics were generally similar across groups. Although no patient had met 5 of 7 criteria required for achieving MDA at baseline, several individual components of MDA were met at baseline, most frequently TEP ≤1 (PBO, 57.6%; DEUC 6 mg QD, 64.3%; DEUC 12 mg QD, 65.7%). After 16 weeks of treatment, 7.6%, 22.9%, and 23.9% of patients in the PBO, DEUC 6 mg QD, and DEUC 12 mg QD groups, respectively, achieved MDA response. Treatment with DEUC was associated with a numerically greater mean reduction from baseline in all MDA components versus PBO over 16 weeks of treatment in all patients. At Week 16, more patients receiving DEUC versus PBO achieved the threshold for each of the MDA components (Figure 1).ConclusionIn this study, patients treated with DEUC achieved a higher rate of MDA response compared with patients treated with PBO after 16 weeks of treatment. More patients receiving DEUC treatment achieved each of the MDA components compared with patients receiving PBO.References[1]Mease PJ et al.

Abstract
BackgroundPsoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a complex inflammatory disease with manifestations that play an important role in treatment selection.1 Treatments include oral agents, biologic therapies (inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor [TNFi], interleukin [IL-17Ai, IL-12/23i], cytotoxic T lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 inhibitor [CTLA-4i]), and new targeted oral agents (inhibitors of phosphodiesterase-4 [PDE-4i] and Janus kinase [JAKi]).1 Few studies have examined real-world treatment patterns of recently approved therapies.ObjectivesEvaluate real-world treatment patterns for branded systemic therapy in patients with PsA.MethodsIn this retrospective study, medical and pharmacy claims from the US IBM MarketScan Commercial and Medicare databases (1/1/2012–12/31/2019) were used to identify patients with PsA who initiated treatment with a TNFi (adalimumab, etanercept, infliximab, golimumab, or certolizumab), IL-17Ai (secukinumab, ixekizumab), IL-12/23p40i (ustekinumab), IL-23p19i (guselkumab), CTLA-4i (abatacept), JAKi (tofacitinib), or PDE-4i (apremilast). Patients (≥18 years) with ≥1 prescription, ≥2 PsA claims separated by ≥1 day on or before the index date (first prescription date [1/1/13–12/31/2018]), and 1-year continuous enrollment before and after the index date were eligible. Treatment patterns were grouped into continuers, discontinuers, and patients with treatment modification (switchers [without a treatment gap], reinitiators [same drug with a treatment gap], and restarters [different drug with a treatment gap]) (Table 1). Patients were followed for 1 year or until treatment modification, whichever came first. Descriptive statistics were used.Table 1.TerminologyCohortDefinitionn/N (%)ContinuersOn index treatment during 1-year follow-up with no treatment gaps*1910/6455 (29.6)DiscontinuersNo prescription claims for any therapy during 1-year follow-up1614/6455 (25.0)Patients with treatment modificationsAll patients with a change in treatment during 1-year follow-up2908/6455 (45.1)SwitchersPrescription claims for treatments different than index therapy before permissible treatment gaps*794/6455 (12.3)ReinitiatorsPrescription claims for treatments SAME as index therapy AFTER treatment gaps*1686/6455 (26.1)RestartersPrescription claims for DIFFERENT therapy AFTER treatment gap*428/6455 (6.6)Note: All terminology applies to cohorts within the first year of treatment.*Treatment gap: gap of 200% of recommended dosing schedule from end of previous prescription’s days’ supply.ResultsA total of 6455 patients were included (mean age, 50.5 years; 55.5% female; mean Charlson Comorbidity Index score, 0.54). At baseline, the most commonly used therapies were immunosuppressants (58.5%), corticosteroids (52.2%), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (45.9%). Treatments most used at index were TNFi (72.5%; including adalimumab [41.6%] and etanercept [23.8%]) and the PDE-4i apremilast (21.1%). During the 1-year study period, 29.6% of patients maintained their index therapy and 25.0% discontinued. Treatment modification was observed in 45.1% of patients; 12.3% switched to a new therapy without a treatment gap, 26.1% restarted their index therapy, and 6.6% started a new therapy after a treatment gap.ConclusionAmong patients with PsA, there is substantial variability, including high rates of discontinuation within the first year and after index therapy. Further studies are warranted to understand reasons for these treatment patterns.References[1]Ogdie A et al. Treatment guidelines in psoriatic arthritis.

Abstract
BackgroundPatients (pts) with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) experience pain, loss of physical function, joint damage, and significant impairments in social and emotional well-being. The Short Form Health Survey 36-item questionnaire (SF-36v2), a generic measure of pt-reported health-related quality of life (HRQOL), includes 36 items and measures 8 domains—physical functioning (PF), role-physical (RP), bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF), role-emotional (RE), and mental health (MH)—that contribute to both physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores. Deucravacitinib (DEUC) is a novel, oral, selective, allosteric inhibitor of tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), an intracellular kinase that mediates cytokine signalling pathways implicated in PsA pathogenesis. In a Phase 2 trial in pts with active PsA, DEUC was well tolerated and significantly more efficacious than placebo (PBO) after 16 weeks (wks) of treatment.1ObjectivesTo further evaluate the effect of DEUC treatment on SF-36 scores.MethodsThis double-blind Phase 2 trial (NCT03881059) enrolled pts with a PsA diagnosis ≥6 months who fulfilled Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis at screening and had active joint disease (≥3 tender and ≥3 swollen joints), high-sensitivity CRP ≥3 mg/L, and ≥1 plaque psoriasis lesion (≥2 cm). Pts failed or were intolerant to ≥1 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, conventional synthetic DMARD, and/or 1 TNF inhibitor (≤30%). Pts were randomised 1:1:1 to DEUC 6 mg once daily (QD) or 12 mg QD, or PBO. Changes from baseline (BL) in SF-36 PCS and MCS scores at Wk 16 were prespecified key secondary and additional endpoints, respectively. The 8 SF-36 domain scores were evaluated at Wk 16. The proportions of pts reporting improvements ≥2.5 and ≥5 points (the minimum clinically important difference [MCID]) in SF-36 summary and domain scores, respectively, were evaluated.ResultsOf 203 pts randomised, 180 (89%) completed 16 wks of treatment (DEUC 6 mg QD, 63/70 [90%]; DEUC 12 mg QD, 59/67 [88%]; PBO, 58/66 [88%]). Demographic and BL disease characteristics were similar across groups. BL mean SF-36 PCS and MCS scores were similar among DEUC 6 mg QD, 12 mg QD, and PBO groups (PCS: 34.0, 34.5, and 33.4; MCS: 45.4, 46.9, and 47.5, respectively). At Wk 16, adjusted mean changes from BL in SF-36 PCS and MCS scores were significantly improved with DEUC 6 and 12 mg QD treatment vs PBO (PCS: 5.6, 5.8, and 2.3; MCS: 3.6, 3.5, and 0.7, respectively; P<0.05).

Abstract
BackgroundDeucravacitinib (DEUC) is a novel, oral, selective TYK2 inhibitor with a unique allosteric mechanism of action that has demonstrated efficacy in patients with psoriasis (PsO)1 and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).2 TYK2 mediates signalling of select immune cytokines, eg, interleukin (IL) 23, IL-12, and Type I interferons, whereas the related Janus kinases (JAK) 1/2/3 mediate signalling of a wider array of cytokines and mediators involved in inflammatory, developmental, metabolic, and hematopoietic pathways. DEUC reduced inflammatory markers associated with skin and joint manifestations but did not result in laboratory abnormalities associated with inhibition of JAK1/2/3 in a PsA trial.3ObjectivesTo identify baseline biomarkers that predict response to DEUC in patients with PsA.MethodsThe double-blind Phase 2 trial (NCT03881059) enrolled 203 patients with PsA randomised 1:1:1 to placebo (PBO), DEUC 6 mg once daily (QD), or 12 mg QD.2 Molecular profiling of baseline serum samples was performed by immunoassays. Clinical response at Week 16 was measured by ≥20% improvement from baseline in American College of Rheumatology Improvement Criteria (ACR 20) and ≥75% improvement from baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) scores.ResultsBiomarkers of the IL-23/T helper cell type 17 pathway, including IL-17A, IL-17‒induced β-defensin 2 (BD2), and IL-19, were associated with higher PASI but not Psoriatic Arthritis Disease Activity Scores overall at baseline. PASI 75 responders in DEUC-treated groups had higher baseline levels of IL-17A compared with nonresponders. In contrast, PASI 75 responders in PBO-treated patients had lower baseline expression of IL-17A, BD2, and IL-19 compared with nonresponders. In patients treated with DEUC 12 mg QD, greater reductions in BD2 were observed in the PASI 75 responder group compared with nonresponder group. When patients were dichotomised by median baseline biomarker level, higher clinical responses in both PASI 75 and ACR 20 were achieved in those with higher baseline overall biomarker levels in the DEUC-treated groups compared with the PBO group. Higher baseline expression of IL-23 biomarkers IL-17A, IL-19, and BD2 enriched ACR 20 response in patients treated with DEUC compared with PBO (OR=5.64, 6.68, and 4.99, respectively). While greater benefit was observed in high-biomarker groups, the low-biomarker populations still manifested clinical responses although not significant (Figure 1).ConclusionPatients who had higher expression of IL-23 pathway biomarkers were more likely to benefit from DEUC compared with placebo in skin and joint manifestations of PsA. These results reinforce the value of TYK2 inhibition in patients with IL-23‒mediated diseases. The potential value of IL-23-pathway markers in predicting higher responses to DEUC should be further explored in larger trials.References[1]Armstrong A et al.

Abstract
BackgroundDeucravacitinib (DEUC) is a novel, oral, selective, allosteric inhibitor of tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) that acts by binding to the unique TYK2 regulatory domain, thereby suppressing signalling of key cytokines (eg, IL-23) involved in skin psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) pathogenesis. Results from the initial 16-week (wk), placebo (PBO)-controlled period (Part A) of a 52-wk, blinded Phase 2 trial in PsA showed that DEUC was significantly more efficacious than PBO.1 The Psoriatic Arthritis Disease Activity Score (PASDAS), a validated comprehensive measure assessing a variety of PsA clinical domains, was used to assess efficacy of DEUC up to 52 wks.ObjectivesEvaluate the safety and efficacy of DEUC in Part B (Wks 16-52) in the Phase 2 PsA trial.MethodsPatients (pts) with PsA were randomised 1:1:1 to PBO, DEUC 6 mg once daily (QD), or 12 mg QD. After Wk 16 (Part A), pts could enrol in an optional, double-blind period until Wk 52 (Part B). In Part B, pts receiving DEUC who had achieved minimal disease activity (MDA) at Wk 16 continued DEUC treatment and those who had not achieved MDA were switched to ustekinumab (UST) at the approved PsA dose. All pts treated with PBO in Part A switched to UST in Part B. Pts were assessed up to 52 wks for adverse events (AEs) and exploratory efficacy endpoints including change in PASDAS. Analyses were descriptive using data as observed.ResultsOf 203 pts randomised in Part A, 180 (89%) completed 16 wks of treatment and 173 (96%) of these pts chose to enrol in Part B. Of 118 pts initially randomised to DEUC, 25% (29/118; 6 mg QD, 22% [13/60]; 12 mg QD, 28% [16/58]) achieved MDA at Wk 16 and continued at the same dose. All other pts switched to UST in Part B: PBO, 100% (55/55; including 5 pts who had achieved MDA at Wk 16); DEUC 6 mg QD, 78% (47/60); DEUC 12 mg QD, 72% (42/58). The safety profile of DEUC in Part B (Table 1) was consistent with that in Part A, and all AEs were mild or moderate except 2 AEs in 1 pt with severe cataract/macular fibrosis. There were no opportunistic infections, herpes zoster, malignancy, thrombotic events, or treatment-related serious AEs reported in pts who remained on DEUC. Decreases in mean PASDAS score observed at Wk 16 were maintained at Wk 52 in pts who continued on DEUC (Figure 1). Improvements in other outcomes, including ACR components, PASI, and FACIT-Fatigue, were also sustained at Wk 52 in pts who continued DEUC treatment. Pts who had not achieved MDA on DEUC at Wk 16 showed a decrease in mean PASDAS score at Wk 52 after switching to UST.Table 1.Overall summary of safety in Part B (Weeks 16 to 52)AE, n (%)aDEUC 6 mg QD n = 13DEUC 12 mg QD n = 16DEUC 6 mg QD →UST n = 47DEUC 12 mg QD → UST n = 42PBO → UST n = 55Total AEs11 (84.6)8 (50.0)26 (55.3)26 (61.9)30 (54.5)Deaths001 (2.1)d1 (2.4)d0SAE1 (7.7)b03 (6.4)4 (9.5)0Treatment-related SAE00000Discontinued due to AE01 (6.3)c02 (4.8)c,e0Includes all treated patients in Part B.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE An assessment of the scale of Internet addiction among young adults and seeking relationships between Internet addiction and chosen sociodemographic variables, perceived social support, prevalence of depressiveness, and excessive daytime sleepiness. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study was carried out using a diagnostic poll method with author's own questionnaire as well as standardized diagnostic tools: The Internet Addiction Test (IAT), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), as well as The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). RESULTS The study was conducted on 567 individuals. Pathological Internet use was identified in 1.41% of the surveyed. Perceived social support was significantly lower in the group of respondents who pathologically used Internet in comparison with ones who used Internet in the proper way. Severity of depressiveness symptoms and daytime sleepiness was significantly higher in respondents who were addicted to Internet in comparison with not addicted individuals. CONCLUSIONS The scale of pathological Internet use among surveyed was low. Problematic Internet use refers to women and men to the same degree, as well as to single people and individuals in relationships. Persons who work and do not study as well as residents of large and medium cities more frequently use Internet in a more pathological way than individuals who study and live-in small cities and in the countryside. Internet addiction creates a significant relationship with the prevalence of more severe symptoms of depressiveness and excessive daytime sleepiness, whereas pathological pattern of Internet use more often concerns individuals whose perception of social support is low.

Abstract
Objectives. The planar formulation of the noise equivalent quanta (NEQ) and detective quantum efficiency (DQE) used to assess the image quality of projection images does not deal with the influence of temporal resolution on signal blurring and image noise. These metrics require correction factors based on temporal resolution when used for dynamic imaging systems such as fluoroscopy. Additionally, the standard NEQ and detector DQE are determined on pre-processed images in scatter-free conditions for effective energies produced by additional aluminium or copper filters that are not representative of clinical fluoroscopic procedures. In this work, we developed a method to measure 'frame NEQ' and 'frame system DQE' which include the temporal frequency bandwidth and consider the anti-scatter grid, the detector and the image processing procedures for beam qualities with scatter fractions representative of clinical use.Approach. We used a solid water phantom to simulate a patient and a thin copper disc to measure the spatial resolution. The copper disc, set in uniform rectilinear motion in the image plane, assessed the temporal resolution. These new metrics were tested on two fluoroscopy systems, a C-arm and a floor-mounted cardiology, for multiple parameters: phantom thicknesses from 5 to 20 cm, frame rates from 3 to 30 fps, spatial and temporal image processing of different weights.Main results.The frame NEQ correctly described the image quality for different scatter conditions, temporal resolutions and image processing techniques. The frame system DQE varied between 0.38 and 0.65 within the different beam and scatter conditions, and correctly mitigated the influence of spatial and temporal image processing.Significance.This study introduces and validates an unbiased formulation of in-plane NEQ and system DQE to assess the spatiotemporal image quality of fluoroscopy systems.

Binary complexes of α-hydroxy acids (L-Tartaric acid and L-Malic acid) with d-electron metal ions (copper, cobalt, nickel) were investigated. Potentiometric measurements have been performed in aqueous solution with computer analysis of the data for determination of the stability constants of complexes formed in the studied systems. The coordination mode of the complexes was defined using spectroscopic methods: electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), circular dichroism (CD), and infrared (IR). Results of the equilibrium studies have provided evidence for the formation of dimers with copper(II) ions and monomers with cobalt(II) and nickel(II) ions.

Abstract
The influence of pH on the complex formation of phosphoethanolamine and pyrimidine nucleosides (uridine, cytidine and thymidine) with copper(II) ions was studied. All investigations were performed in aqueous solution. The overall stability constants of the complexes and non-covalent compounds were obtained using the potentiometric method with computer calculation of the data. Moreover, equilibrium constants of the reaction were determined. The mode of coordination was obtained using spectroscopic methods. Analysis of the potentiometric and spectroscopic data confirmed the involvement and effectiveness of phosphate groups in species formation as well as the influence of pH on the mode of coordination of the investigated biomaterials. In the next step, studied complexes will be applied as potential biomaterials with biological applications.

Abstract
Background:Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) is an intracellular kinase that mediates IL-23, IL-12, and IFNα/β signaling. Deucravacitinib is a novel, oral selective inhibitor of TYK2 acting via the TYK2 regulatory domain. Phase 2 results showed deucravacitinib was efficacious and well tolerated versus placebo (PBO) in patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA).Objectives:This analysis further evaluated improvements in musculoskeletal disease manifestations in patients in the Phase 2 PsA trial.Methods:The ongoing Phase 2 trial (NCT03881059) enrolled patients who had a PsA diagnosis for ≥6 months, met CASPAR criteria, had active disease (≥3 tender joints, ≥3 swollen joints, C-reactive protein [CRP] ≥3 mg/L), and had at least 1 active skin lesion. Patients either failed or were intolerant to at least 1 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, corticosteroid, conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug, and/or 1 TNF inhibitor (TNFi; ≤30%). Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to deucravacitinib 6 mg QD or 12 mg QD or PBO, and stratified by TNFi status (experienced vs naive) and body weight (<90 vs ≥90 kg). The primary endpoint, ACR20 response at Week 16, was met and significant improvements in enthesitis vs PBO were observed. The current prespecified subgroup analysis assessed the likelihood of achieving ACR20 response at Week 16 based on study stratification factors. A post hoc analysis evaluated mean change from baseline to Week 16 in ACR components (tender joint count, swollen joint count, Physician’s Global Assessment of PsA, Patients’ Global Assessment of disease activity, Patients’ Global Assessment of pain, high-sensitivity CRP [hCRP], and HAQ-DI score). Analyses were descriptive using data as observed.Results:Patients treated with deucravacitinib were numerically more likely to achieve ACR20 response at Week 16 compared with PBO-treated patients regardless of TNFi experience or body weight, although some of these groups were small (Figure). Improvements for deucravacitinib 6 mg and 12 mg QD versus PBO were observed in all ACR components, with apparent separation occurring as early as Week 4 on, for example, HAQ-DI (mean change from baseline, -0.2 vs -0.2 vs -0.1, respectively) and hCRP (mean change from baseline, -7.4 vs -5.2 vs 0.3, respectively) and maintained through Week 16 (Table).Table 1.Mean (SD) change from baseline for ACR componentsTJCSJCPtGAPainPGAHAQ-DIhCRPBaselineaPBO16.9 (9.8)10.5 (7.7)66.2 (15.8)64.9 (18.2)63.8 (14.8)1.3 (0.6)20.4 (39.1)DEUC 618.1 (10.3)11.9 (7.0)68.2 (16.8)63.6 (21.7)68.2 (14.7)1.3 (0.6)17.6 (23.6)DEUC1219.4 (11.8)11.3 (9.0)63.6 (15.6)63.8 (15.9)63.3 (16.1)1.3 (0.6)16.5 (21.7)Week 16bPBO-4.6 (9.7)-4.3 (8.0)-13.4 (23.5)-13.8 (21.5)-19.9 (21.8)-0.1 (0.4)-3.3 (22.6)DEUC 6-9.3 (9.7)-7.7 (5.8)-28.7 (23.1)-25.3 (26.1)-33.6 (23.0)-0.4 (0.5)-14.2 (24.5)DEUC 12-12.2 (10.2)-8.5 (9.1)-27.6 (25.8)-27.5 (25.0)-32.2 (25.0)-0.4 (0.6)-10.9 (22.8)PBO, n/N=58/66; DEUC 6, n/N=63/70; DEUC 12, n/N=59/67; n/N = number of patients who completed treatment/number of patients randomized; the number of patients with data available for individual components at each time point may vary.aMean (SD). bMean (SD) change from baseline.ACR, American College of Rheumatology; DEUC 6, deucravacitinib 6 mg QD; DEUC 12, deucravacitinib 12 mg QD; HAQ-DI, Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index total score; hCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; PBO, placebo; PGA, Physician’s Global Assessment of psoriatic arthritis; PtGA, Patients’ Global Assessment of disease activity; QD, once daily; SJC, swollen joint count; TJC, tender joint count.Conclusion:Analyses confirmed the efficacy of deucravacitinib versus PBO across TNFi and body weight subgroups.

Abstract
Background:Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) is an intracellular kinase that mediates IL-23, IL-12, and IFNα/β signaling. Deucravacitinib is a novel, oral selective inhibitor of TYK2 via the TYK2 regulatory domain. Phase 2 results showed deucravacitinib was efficacious and well tolerated versus placebo (PBO) in patients (pts) with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease (PsAID) questionnaire is a EULAR-developed, validated instrument designed to specifically assess the impact of PsA on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) from the pt’s perspective and is available as separate versions for clinical practice (PsAID-12) and clinical trials (PsAID-9).1Objectives:To compare the effect of deucravacitinib vs PBO on PsAID-12 and PsAID-9 responses and to assess relationships between PsAID scores and clinical and pt-reported outcome (PRO) measures.Methods:This is an ongoing, 1-year, double-blind, Phase 2 trial (NCT03881059). Pts with active PsA were randomized 1:1:1 to deucravacitinib 6 mg or 12 mg once daily, or PBO for 16 weeks (wk). PsAID-12 and PsAID-9, other PROs, and clinical response outcomes were assessed at baseline (BL) and Wk 16. Mean changes from BL in PsAID-12 and PsAID-9 total scores at Wk 16 were determined for each treatment group as well as by response outcomes (ie, achievement of response at Wk 16 for PROs and select clinical response outcomes; Table 1). Spearman correlations between PsAID-12 and PsAID-9 scores and clinical and PRO measures were also assessed.Results:203 pts were randomized and BL characteristics were similar across groups. Adjusted mean changes from BL in PsAID-12 and PsAID-9 scores at Wk 16 were significantly greater in the deucravacitinib groups vs PBO (Figure 1). Adjusted mean changes from BL in PsAID-12 and PsAID-9 scores at Wk 16 were significantly improved with deucravacitinib vs PBO in pts who achieved response for PROs, as well as PASDAS low disease activity and PASI 75 response (Table 1). Adjusted mean changes from BL were generally similar with deucravacitinib vs PBO in nonresponders. Spearman correlation analysis revealed significant correlations at BL and Wk 16 between PsAID-12 and PsAID-9 scores and clinical and PRO measures (P<0.0001).Conclusion:With deucravacitinib vs PBO, PsAID-12 and PsAID-9 scores were significantly improved vs BL at Wk 16. PsAID detected additional improvements among pts achieving response for multiple other PROs and select clinical outcome measures.References:[1]Gossec L et al.

Abstract
Background:Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) is an intracellular kinase that mediates signaling by key cytokines involved in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and plaque psoriasis (PsO) pathogenesis. Deucravacitinib is a novel oral agent that selectively inhibits TYK2 via an allosteric mechanism by binding to the nonconserved regulatory domain of the kinase. A previous Phase 2 trial in PsO had demonstrated that deucravacitinib was efficacious and well tolerated, with no laboratory abnormalities observed.Objectives:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of deucravacitinib in active PsA.Methods:This is an ongoing, 1-year, randomized, double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled (initial 16 weeks), multiregional, Phase 2 trial (NCT03881059). Eligible patients had a PsA diagnosis for ≥6 months, met CASPAR criteria, and had active disease with ≥3 tender and ≥3 swollen joints, C-reactive protein ≥3 mg/L (ULN, 5 mg/L), and ≥1 psoriatic lesion (≥2 cm). Patients had failed or were intolerant to ≥1 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, corticosteroid, conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (csDMARD), and/or 1 TNF inhibitor (TNFi; ≤30%). Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to deucravacitinib 6 mg once daily (QD) or 12 mg QD, or PBO. The primary endpoint was achievement of ACR 20 response at Week 16. Additional endpoints included the proportion of patients achieving ACR 50/70 response, Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) response (≥0.35 improvement from baseline), enthesitis resolution (Leeds Index score of 0), minimal disease activity, change from baseline in SF-36 physical component score (SF-36 PCS) and mental component score (SF-36 MCS), Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75 response, adverse events (AEs), and laboratory parameters.Results:Of 203 patients randomized, 180 (89%) completed 16 weeks of treatment (deucravacitinib 6 mg QD, 63/70 [90%]; deucravacitinib 12 mg QD, 59/67 [88%]; PBO, 58/66 [88%]). Demographic and baseline disease characteristics were similar across groups. Mean age was 49.8 years, 51% of patients were female, median PsA duration was 4.5 years, 66% of patients used csDMARDs at baseline and throughout the study, and 15% had used a TNFi. This study met its primary endpoint, with deucravacitinib 6 mg and 12 mg QD demonstrating significantly higher ACR 20 responses versus PBO at Week 16 (Figure 1). Additional endpoints were also met with deucravacitinib versus PBO (Figure 1). Adjusted mean changes from baseline in SF-36 PCS and SF-36 MCS at Week 16, respectively, were significantly higher in the deucravacitinib 6 mg QD group (5.6 vs 2.3, P=0.0062; 3.6 vs 0.7, P=0.0211) and 12 mg QD group (5.8 vs 2.3, P=0.0042; 3.5 vs 0.7, P=0.0263) compared with PBO. PASI 75 responses were also significantly higher in the deucravacitinib groups (P≤0.0136 vs PBO). The most common AEs in the deucravacitinib 6 mg/12 mg/PBO groups, respectively, during the 16-week treatment period were nasopharyngitis (5.7%/17.9%/7.6%), sinusitis (0%/7.5%/0%), headache (7.1%/1.5%/4.5%), and rash (4.3%/6.0%/0%). No serious AEs, herpes zoster infections, opportunistic infections, or thrombotic events were reported in deucravacitinib-treated patients during this period. Additionally, no significant changes from baseline in hematologic parameters (lymphocytes, neutrophils, platelets, and hemoglobin) or serum lipids were observed with deucravacitinib treatment.Conclusion:Deucravacitinib was efficacious versus PBO over 16 weeks in patients with active PsA. Treatment was generally well tolerated and the safety and laboratory parameter profile of deucravacitinib was consistent with that observed in an earlier Phase 2 PsO trial.Acknowledgements:This study was sponsored by Bristol Myers Squibb.

Abstract
Patients with hematologic malignancies require intensive therapies, including high-dose chemotherapy. Antimetabolite-methotrexate (MTX) has been used for many years in the treatment of leukemia and in lymphoma patients. However, the lack of MTX specificity causes a significant risk of morbidity, mortality, and severe side effects that impairs the quality of patients' life. Therefore, novel targeted therapies based on the malignant cells' common traits have become an essential treatment strategy. Glucose transporters have been found to be overexpressed in neoplastic cells, including hematologic malignancies. In this study, we biologically evaluated a novel glucose-methotrexate conjugate (Glu-MTX) in comparison to a free MTX. The research aimed to assess the effectiveness of Glu-MTX on chosen human lymphoma and leukemia cell lines. Cell cytotoxicity was verified by MTT viability test and flow cytometry. Moreover, the cell cycle and cellular uptake of Glu-MTX were evaluated. Our study reveals that conjugation of methotrexate with glucose significantly increases drug uptake and results in similar cytotoxicity of the synthesized compound. Although the finding has been confined to in vitro studies, our observations shed light on a potential therapeutic approach that increases the selectivity of chemotherapeutics and can improve leukemia and lymphoma patients' outcomes.

Abstract
Syndecan-1 (SDC1) belongs to heparan sulfate proteoglycans which may interact with different growth factors, cytokines, morphogens and promote tumor growth and invasion. The aim of the present study was to assess the immunohistochemical expression of syndecan-1 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and oral cysts. Evaluation of the staining pattern with the clinico-histological characteristics of patients was performed. A total of 42 OSCC and 23 oral cysts tissue samples were examined. Statistical tests were used for the significance analysis. The positive expression of syndecan-1 was significantly higher in OSCC compared to cyst located in the oral cavity. Moreover, the results indicate that the intensity of the expression correlated with grading score (p = 0.046). The data indicate that syndecan-1 is altered in OSCC and its excessive amount relates in a predictive manner to neoplastic transformation. As such, SDC1 expression may be used as an adjunctive biomarker in molecular diagnostics of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
In colloidal methods, the morphology of nanoparticles (size and shape) as well as their stability can be controlled by changing the concentration of the substrate, stabilizer, adding inorganic salts, changing the reducer/substrate molar ratio, and changing the pH and reaction time. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles was carried out according to the modified Lee and Meisel method in a wide pH range (from 2.0 to 11.0) using citric acid and malic acid, without adding any additives or stabilizers. Keeping the same reaction conditions as the concentration of acid and silver ions, temperature, and heating time, it was possible to determine the relationship between the reaction pH, the type of acid, and the size of the silver nanoparticles formed. Obtained colloids were analyzed by UV-Vis spectroscopy and investigated by means of Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The study showed that the colloids reduced with citric acid and malic acid are stable over time for a minimum of seven weeks. We observed that reactions occurred for citric acid from pH 6.0 to 11.0 and for malic acid from pH 7.0 to 11.0. The average size of the quasi-spherical nanoparticles changed with pH due to the increase of reaction rate.

Abstract
We used the Timepix3 hybrid pixel detector technology in order to determine the exposure of medical personnel to ionizing radiation in an interventional radiology room. We measured the energy spectra of the scattered radiation generated by the patient during X-ray image-guided interventional procedures. We performed measurements at different positions and heights within the theatre. We first observed a difference in fluence for each staff member. As expected, we found that the person closest to the X-ray tube is the most exposed while the least exposed staff member is positioned at the patient’s feet. Additionally, we observed a shift in energy from head to toe for practitioners, clearly indicating a non-homogenous energy exposure. The photon counting Timepix3 detector provides a new tool for radiation field characterisation that is easier-to-use and more compact than conventional X-ray spectrometers. The spectral information is particularly valuable for optimising the use of radiation protection gear and improving dosimetry surveillance programs. We also found the device very useful for training purposes to provide awareness and understanding about radiation protection principles among interventional radiology staff.

Binary complexes of tartaric acid with lanthanide(III) ions were investigated. The studies have been performed in aqueous solution using the potentiometric method with computer analysis of the data for detection of the complexes set, determination of the stability constants of these compounds. The mode of the coordination of complexes found was determined using spectroscopy, which shows: Infrared, circular dichroism, ultraviolet, visible as well as luminescence spectroscopy. The overall stability constants of the complexes as well as the equilibrium constants of the reaction were determined. Analysis of the equilibrium constants of the reactions and spectroscopic data allowed the effectiveness of the carboxyl groups in the process of complex formation.

Abstract
The ascent of hydrous magma prior to volcanic eruptions is largely driven by the formation of H2O vesicles and their subsequent growth upon further decompression. Porosity controls buoyancy as well as vesicle coalescence and percolation, and is important when identifying the differences between equilibrium or disequilibrium degassing from textural analysis of eruptive products. Decompression experiments are routinely used to simulate magma ascent. Samples exposed to high temperature (T) and pressure (P) are decompressed and rapidly cooled to ambient T for analysis. During cooling, fluid vesicles may shrink due to decrease of the molar volume of H2O and by resorption of H2O back into the melt driven by solubility increase with decreasing T at P < 300 MPa. Here, we quantify the extent to which vesicles shrink during cooling, using a series of decompression experiments with hydrous phonolitic melt (5.3-3.3 wt% H2O, T between 1323 and 1373 K, decompressed from 200 to 110-20 MPa). Most samples degassed at near-equilibrium conditions during decompression. However, the porosities of quenched samples are significantly lower than expected equilibrium porosities prior to cooling. At a cooling rate of 44 K·s-1, the fictive temperature T f, where vesicle shrinkage stops, is up to 200 K above the glass transition temperature (T g), Furthermore, decreasing cooling rate enhances vesicles shrinkage. We assess the implications of these findings on previous experimental degassing studies using phonolitic melt, and highlight the importance of correctly interpreting experimental porosity data, before any comparison to natural volcanic ejecta can be attempted.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common primary valve disease leading to surgery or catheter intervention with a growing prevalence due to the ageing population. Severe aortic stenosis with reduced transaortic flow and gradient although it is a common finding still remains diagnostic challenge.
Purpose
The aim of study was to analyse the outcomes of patients with high- and low-gradient aortic stenosis depending on the ejection fraction.
Methods
621 patients hospitalized in the First Department of Cardiology, with severe aortic stenosis defined as aortic valve area <1cm2 were enrolled to the Aortic Stenosis Registry (ASRegistry). The high-gradient aortic stenosis (HG-AS) [mean transvalvular pressure gradient (PGmean) ≥40mmHg and peak transvalvular velocity (Vmax) ≥ 4 m/s] and low-gradient aortic stenosis (LG-AS) [mean transvalvular pressure gradient (PGmean) <40mmHg and peak transvalvular velocity (Vmax) <4 m/s] were observed in 54%(n = 340) and 45% (n = 281) patients, respectively. In the subgroup of HG-AS were 80% (n = 275) and in the subgroup of LG-AS were 61%(n = 174) of patients with preserved left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF > 50%). The patients were observed for a period of 6 years (2012-2018). The primary end-point, all-cause mortality, was obtained from Nation Health Registry.
Results
Patients with LG-AS had a significantly higher risk of mortality compared to patients with HG-AS: 35% (n = 101) vs 26% (n = 87), p < 0,05. Mortality in both group with HG-AS and LG-AS was significantly higher in the subgroup with diminished left ventricle dysfunction than in the subgroup with preserved ejection fraction: HG-AS: 44%(n = 29) vs 21%(n = 58), p < 0,05 and LG-AS: 53%(n = 57) vs 25%(n = 44), p < 0,05. The highest mortality rates was observed in the LG-AS group with left ventricule dysfunction, p < 0,001.
Conclusions
The study shows the negative impact of left ventricle dysfunction in both groups of patients: high- and low-gradient severe aortic stenosis. The worst prognosis is in patients with LG-AS and low LVEF.

Abstract
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a congenital cardiac defect which may contribute to aortic stenosis (AS) and regurgitation (AR), aortopathy, endocarditis or in some group of patients remains without echocardiographic deviations. Prognosis of BAV population is hardly predictable. Nevertheless, the population of BAV requires regular medical control.
PURPOSE
The aim of our study was to assess the BAV appearance and characteristics in the Single Center Registry.
METHODS
All patients with recognition of BAV admitted to First Department of Cardiology at Medical University of Gdansk in years 2012-2018 were enrolled to analysis. Echocardiographic data were collected. Anthropometrics and comorbidities were recorded. Patents were categorized depending on BAV phenotype: coronary cusps fusion (Type 1), right-noncoronary cusps fusion (Type 2), left-noncornary cusps fusion (Type 3) and BAV without raphe (True Type).
RESULTS
323 (25,7% female) patients were enrolled into the Registry. Average age of studied group was 55 ± 16.0. 190 (58.8%) patients were characterized by Type 1 BAV, 75 (23.2%) by Type 2 and 8 (2.4%) by Type 3. There were only 3 patients with True Type. In 14.5% of patients we were unable to clearly identify BAV phenotype. For the further analysis there were included Type 1 and Type 2 groups due to low prevalence of other types. Patients with Type 2 were slightly younger (51.3 ± 16.2 years vs 57.5 ± 13.4 years in Type 1 group; p < 0.01). The aortopathy appeared in 221 patients (68.4% of studied group). Type 1 was associated with larger diameter of aortic root comparing with Type 2 (40.7 ± 6.0 mm vs 38.7 ± 10.6 mm, respectively; p < 0.001), without significant difference in ascending aorta diameter (42.3 ± 7.1 mm in Type 1 and 40.9 ± 6.7 mm in Type 2; p = 0.19). In contrary, Type 2 was correlating with the higher prevalence of severe AR (16% vs 5.7% in Type 1; p < 0.01). Prevalence of AS was similar in both groups (48.4% in Type 1 and 37.85 in Type 2; p = 0.1). In the subgroup with severe AS (75 patients), there was no significant differences in the hemodynamic profile of AS between Type 1 and Type 2 group (respectively; peak transvalvular velocity- 4.5 ± 0.5 m/s2 vs 4.3 ± 0.6 m/s2, p = 0.2; mean transvalvular pressure- 54.2 ± 13.6 mmHg vs 46.6 ± 13.8 mmHg, p = 0.08; aortic valve area- 0.7 ± 0.1 cm2 vs 0.8 ± 0.1 cm2, p = 0.5). 4.3% of studied group were hospitalized due to endocarditis. Average age in that subgroup was 42.3 ± 12.0 years. There was no correlation between BAV phenotype and endocarditis prevalence.
CONCLUSION
Despite higher prevalence of severe AR in patients with Type 2 BAV, Type 1 is more predisposing to aortic root abnormalities. That discrepancy may confirm complex pathophysiology of BAV complications. Prevalence of AS and hemodynamic profile of severe AS does not present correlation with the type of BAV phenotype.

Abstract
The vitrification process is usually preceded by a significant change (around 6-8 decades) in the viscosity, structural relaxation times, or diffusion that occurs in a relatively small range of temperatures in fragile liquids. Along with this phenomenon, conformations of the molecules vary as well. In fact, this process is studied in bulk polymers and high molecular weight materials deposited in the form of thin films. On the other hand, spatial rearrangement of small glass formers in the supercooled liquid state has not been intensively investigated, so far. Herein, data obtained from measurements carried out using various experimental techniques on supercooled 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-(trimethylsilyl)-d-glucopyranose (S-GLU) have revealed that rotations of silyl moieties along with the deformation in the saccharide ring are significantly slowed down in the vicinity of the glass transition temperature (Tg). These intramolecular reorganizations affect the structural relaxation time, atomic pair distribution function, integrated intensity, as well as a number of bands and signals observed, respectively, in the Raman and NMR spectra. Data reported herein offer a better understanding of the conformational variation and time scale of this process in the complex and flexible molecules around the Tg.

Abstract
Non-covalent interaction in the binary systems of polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, spermine) with citric acid and complex formation in the binary as well as ternary systems of lanthanide(III) ions, citric acid and polyamine have been investigated. The studies were performed in aqueous solution. The overall stability constants of the complexes were determined using the potentiometric method with computer analysis of the data. Only mononuclear type of complexes were found in the ternary systems and polyamines were located in the outer as well as inner coordination sphere. Non-covalent interaction between biogenic amines and citric acid in the binary and ternary systems were confirmed on the basis of the equilibrium constants analysis and spectroscopic studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In postmenopausal period, changes in bone turnover markers (BTM), vitamin D3, cytokines and parathyroid hormone (PTH) are frequently observed. The study was to assess bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism index (IBM) in the perimenopausal women. DESIGN YEARS 2013-2014. SUBJECTS AND METHODS One hundred and thirteen women were divided into four groups: group I (35 not menstruating 50 - 60 years old with osteoporosis), II (23 not menstruating 50 - 60 years old without osteoporosis), III (30 menstruating 40 - 49 years old with osteoporosis), IV (25 menstruating 40 - 49 years old without osteoporosis). The following parameters were measured: IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, hormone oestradiol (E2), PTH, FSH, TSH, calcium (Ca2+), phosphates (P), alkaline phosphatase (bALP), C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen alpha 1 chain (α1CTX), osteocalcin (OC), BMD, IBM. RESULTS IBM and BMD were significantly lower in premenopausal than in postmenopausal women. The concentration of OC, CTX, 25OH D3 and PTH levels differed significantly between group I vs. II, group I vs. III and group II vs. IV. CONCLUSIONS The levels of BTM, D3, PTH differed significantly between groups. This study demonstrated that bone metabolism depended mainly on processes related with menopause state and changes in D3, PTH and cytokines levels.

Abstract
Purpose: The aim of the presented work was to investigate the influence of different
mouthwashes on the chosen mechanical properties of different dental restorative composites.
The null hypothesis was that the mouthwashes have influence on these properties.
Design/methodology/approach: Four different restorative composites were used
(Easy Fill Nano, Easy Fill Micro Hybrid, Easy Fill Flowable, Easy Fill Bulk). Samples were
conditioned in different media: mouthwashes (Listerine Total Care with ethanol, Listerine
Total Care Sensitive – alcohol-free) and distilled water. The samples were polymerized in
Teflon moulds. The compressive strength, diametral tensile strength (DTS) and Vickers
microhardness were examined.
Findings: The research showed that the surface of composite materials was particularly
sensitive to the action of mouthwashes. Both types of solutions, containing ethanol and
without it lowered the microhardness values. The mouthwashes may also decrease other
mechanical properties, like compressive strength of diametrical tensile strength. The results
of the carried out investigations showed good mechanical properties of the tested materials,
analogous to other materials of this type.
Research limitations/implications: Other important properties of dental filling storied
in mouthwashes should be analysed in future, including microgap between tooth and filling.
Practical implications: The result contradicts the popular view that mouthwashes that
do not contain ethanol are in general safer for composites in the context of reduction of
mechanical properties. Both types of mouthwashes may reduce mechanical properties.
Originality/value: The results of mechanical properties investigations of Easy Fill
composites were presented and compared to other commercial materials. The changes of
mechanical properties were also analysed after storing in different types of mouthwashes.
So far, there has been no such research for these materials.
