Abstract
Sports activity is generally considered to be beneficial to health. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle. Sports activities significantly affect the cardiovascular system. A number of studies show that they significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease as well as decrease cardiovascular mortality. This review discusses changes in various cardiovascular parameters in athletes - vagotonia/bradycardia, hypertrophy of heart, ECG changes, blood pressure, and variability of cardiovascular parameters. Because of its relationship to the cardiovascular system, VO2max, which is widely used as an indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness, is also discussed. The review concludes with a discussion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress, particularly in relation to changes in the cardiovascular system in athletes. The review appropriately summarizes the above issues and points out some new implications.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality in patients suffering from small cell lung cancer (SCLC), however, a universal indicator of sarcopenia usable in clinical practice is still missing. A novel indicator for describing the severity of cancer could be helpful in tailoring the anti-tumor therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the computed tomography (CT) scans of total muscle area and radiation attenuation in patients suffering from small cell lung cancer. We used staging CT scans performed at the time of diagnosis to measure total muscle area (TMA) and average psoas density (PD) at level of the 3rd lumbar vertebra. TMA and PD were statistically evaluated in association with overall survival and disease staging. We used Mann-Whitney test and Spearman´s correlation coefficient for statistical testing and p-value under 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Retrospectively we examined 47 patients suffering from SCLC (mean age 65.05+/-7.3 years, BMI 23.97+/-4.4 kg/m2, BSA 1.77+/-0.2 m2, 30-day mortality was 4.3 % with 10 months median survival). As sarcopenia was pointed TMA under 55 and 39 cm2/m2 for men and women respectively. The sarcopenic patients had significantly shorter median survival (7 vs. 11 months, p=0.05). We observed a significant relationship between survival and performance status (Spearman´s correlation, R=-0.39, p=0.05). The patients were divided into two groups according to the extensive (ED, n=34) or limited (LD, n=13) form of the disease. We observed significant difference in PD (42.49+/-6.1 vs. 47.67+/-4.5 HU, p=0.006) between ED vs. LD groups.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus 2 (DM2) is the seventh cause of death worldwide. One of the reasons is late diagnosis of vascular damage. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) has become an independent marker of arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk. Moreover, the previous studies have shown the importance of beat-to-beat PWV measurement due to its variability among the heart cycle. However, variability of PWV (PWVv) of the whole body hasn't been examined yet. We have studied a group of DM II and heathy volunteers, to investigate the beat-to-beat mean PWV (PWVm) and PWVv in the different body positions. PWV of left lower and upper extremities were measured in DM2 (7 m/8 f, age 68+/-10 years, BP 158/90+/-19/9 mm Hg) and healthy controls (5 m/6 f, age 23+/-2 years, BP 117/76+/-9/5 mm Hg). Volunteers were lying in the resting position and of head-up-tilt in 45° (HUT) for 6 min. PWVv was evaluated as a mean power spectrum in the frequency bands LF and HF (0.04-0.15 Hz, 0.15-0.5 Hz). Resting PWVm of upper extremity was higher in DM2. HUT increased lower extremity PWVm only in DM2. Extremities PWVm ratio was significantly lower in DM2 during HUT compared to controls. LF and HF PWVv had the same response to HUT. Resting PWVv was higher in DM2. Lower extremity PWVv increased during HUT in both groups. PWVm and PWVv in DM2 differed between extremities and were significantly influenced by postural changes due to hydrostatic pressure. Increased resting PWVm and PWVv in DM2 is a marker of increased arterial stiffness.

Abstract
Nutritional status, its assessment and its influence on numerous diseases is currently still being discussed. The aim of this study was to determine the current state of nutrition by various research methods in school children. Also, to verify the accuracy of body mass index (BMI) determination in school environment and to compare the nutritional status in two different types of school. We used a quantitative questionnaire method in 64 children from schools in the South Moravian Region. We have verified the weight and height measurement in the same group by sophisticated instruments. We have determined the basic parameters of the cardiovascular system (non-invasive continuously blood pressure recording; mutual spectral analysis for estimation of baroreflex sensitivity; applanation tonometry and cardiac polygraphy for arterial stiffness evaluation). The indicative questionnaire method encountered a problem with the weight of almost 40 % of the population approached - both obesity (14.3 %) and malnutrition (25.2 %). Cardiovascular parameters were in physiological range for the given age categories. We found increased values in BMI, % of body fat and heart rate in children from countryside type of school, respectively. We concluded that obesity/malnutrition are both common phenomena in the children population in the Czech Republic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Is it possible to estimate urethral mobility based on MUCP measurements? DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 1st Medical Faculty, Charles University, General Teaching Hospital, Prague. METHODS This retrospective study included 567 patients from three prospective studies within years 2002 to 2009. Ultrasound examination was performed in 560 of them and maximal urethral closure pressure (MUCP) values were measured in 507 women. The MUCP was defined as the difference between maximum urethral pressure and bladder pressure. An ultrasound examination was performed using the transperineal approach in accordance with the recommendations of the German Urogynecology Working Group and ICS, IUGA terminology. The mobility was expressed as a distance between the position at rest and at the maximal Valsalva manoeuvre. Data were summarized as mean and median, with SD and quantile range for measures of variability. Either a matched pairs t-test or Wilcoxon test was used for statistical evaluation. RESULTS Mean MUCP was 47.4 cm H2O (SD 22.2, first quantile 32, third quantile 62). Mean urethral descent was 20.6 mm (SD 8.2, first quantile 14.9, third quantile 25.6 mm). Using regression analysis there was an increase in urethral descent; this difference is statistically significant. For a MUCP increase of 10 cm H2O we could estimate an increase in urethral descent of 1.1 mm. CONCLUSION We established a statistically significant relationship between urethral descent and MUCP. Unfortunately those differences are not clinically relevant, especially for MUCP over 20 cm H2O. For MUCP below 20 cm H2O low urethral descent is more likely. Clinical use of MUCP as predictor of urethral descent is limited due to the high variability involved.

Abstract
Anthracyclines represent one of the important classes of anti-cancer drugs; however, their major disadvantage is their profound cardiovascular toxicity. This study aimed to evaluate influence of anthracyclines on cardiovascular stiffness parameters estimated from pulse wave (PW). PW was measured in 59 cancer survivors treated with anthracyclines in childhood and in 248 healthy age-matched controls. Both patients and controls were divided into three age groups (13 - 15, 16 - 18 and 19 - 24 years). Central PW augmentation index (C-AI75) and augmentation pressure (C-AP75), both normalized to heart rate 75 bpm, were calculated as parameters of arterial wall stiffness. Central Buckberg sub-endocardial viability ratio (SEVR) was calculated as a parameter of diastolic function. Patients and controls were compared in each age group. C-AI75 and C-AP75 were significantly increased in patients in age groups 16 - 18 and 19 - 24 years. SEVR was decreased in patients in the oldest age group. Our results suggest that although toxic influence of anthracyclines to arterial wall and heart are developing during childhood and puberty, they can be detected rather in the adulthood. These changes are yet subclinical; however, their presence indicates potentially increased cardiovascular risk in childhood cancer survivors treated with anthracyclines during childhood.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) T-786C and G894T in the gene encoding eNOS with blood pressure variability (BPV) in man. Blood pressure was recorded beat-to-beat at rest three times in periods of one week (5 min, Finapres, breathing at 0.33 Hz) in 152 subjects (19-24 years). Systolic (SBPV(0.1r)/SBPV(0.1a)) and diastolic (DBPV(0.1r)/DBPV(0.1a)) blood pressure variabilities in relative (r.u.) and absolute (mm Hg(2)/Hz) units were determined by the spectral method as spectral power at the frequency of 0.1 Hz. Genotypes of both polymorphisms were detected using polymerase chain reaction and restriction analysis using enzymes Msp I and Ban II. Significant differences were observed in BPV among genotypes of T-786C SNP (p<0.05; Kruskal-Wallis), and among haplotypes of both SNPs (p<0.05; Kruskal-Wallis) as well. In T-786C SNP, carriers of less frequent allele (CC homozygotes and TC heterozygotes) showed significantly greater SBPV(0.1r) and SBPV(0.1a) compared to TT homozygotes (Mann-Whitney; p<0.05). The G894T variant showed no significant differences, but, both SNPs were in linkage disequilibrium (D'=0.37; p<0.01). Carriers of haplotype CT/CT (CC homozygotes of -786C/T and TT homozygotes of G894T) displayed significantly greater SBPV(0.1r), SBPV(0.1a) and DBPV(0.1a) compared to carriers of other haplotype combinations (Kruskal-Wallis; p=0.015, p=0.048, and p=0.026, respectively). In conclusion, the haplotype formed by less frequent alleles of both eNOS variants was associated with increased systolic and diastolic BPV in this study.

Abstract
In our previous studies, a decreased blood pressure was reported in children treated by anthracycline (AC). The aim of this study was to assess the long-term effects of AC anticancer therapy in 45 subjects aged 13-22 years by repeated 24-hour Holter monitoring of blood pressure. Sixty four aged-matched subjects served as controls. The differences between mean values of systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in each hour of both groups were evaluated by Mann-Whitney test. Also the parameters of the least-squares fit of the sinusoidal curve in each subject were estimated (M - mesor, midline-estimating, a mean value of sinusoidal curve corresponds to 24-hours mean pressure; A - amplitude, double amplitude corresponds to night-day difference; Acr - acrophase is a time of maximal value of a sinusoidal curve). SBP and DBP was significantly lower only during night hours in anthracycline patients 19-22 years old. Also M was lower in this age subgroup of patients comparing to age matched controls (SBP: 112+/-6 mm Hg versus 117+/-7 mm Hg, p<0.05; DBP: 67+/-3 mm Hg versus 69+/-6 mm Hg, p<0.05), A was not different, Acr in patients was shifted one hour earlier (SBP: 2.4 p.m. versus 3.6 p.m., p<0.05; DBP: 2.1 p.m. versus 3.3 p.m., p<0.01). This corresponds to the shift of the morning blood-pressure increase seen on 24-hours blood pressure profiles. M correlated with age in controls (SBP: r=0.374, p<0.01; regression coefficient b=1.34 mm Hg/1 year; DBP: r=0.365, p<0.01; b=0.95 mm Hg/1 year), but not in patients (SBP: r=0.182, DBP: r=0.064). A and Acr were age-independent in all subjects. It is concluded that blood pressure in 19-22 years old AC patients is lower during night hours, the age-dependent increase of blood pressure seen in healthy controls between 13 and 22 years of age does not occur in patients. This finding is consistent with the long-lasting impairment of the sympathetic nervous system caused by anthracyclines.

Abstract
The role of archaeal membrane and its lipid constituents was investigated in bioenergetic functions of Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus. The effects were determined of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitor, pravastatin, on lipid composition, and its impact on some bioenergetic functions of treated cells. Pravastatin remarkably inhibited the growth of M. thermautotrophicus. On membrane level, pravastatin treatment modulated the composition of the mixture of squalene and hydrosqualene derivatives as well as the activities of ATPase, A1Ao-ATP synthase and Na+/H+ antiporter. SDS-PAGE of chloroform-methanol extracts of membranes from control and pravastatin-treated cells revealed changes in the amount of AtpK proteolipids, which suggests that pravastatin modifies cell-membrane composition, hereby modulating the properties of some membrane-bound enzymes participating in energy transformation in methanoarchaea.

Abstract
Non-invasive methods of determination of baroreflex sensitivity (BRS, ms/mmHg) are based on beat-to-beat systolic blood pressure and inter-beat interval recording. Sequential methods and spectral methods at spontaneous breathing include transient superposition of breathing and 0.1 Hz rhythms. Previously, a cross-spectral method of analysis was used, at constant breathing rate using a metronome set at 0.33 Hz, enabling separate determination of BRS at 0.1 Hz (BRS(0.1Hz)) and respiratory rhythms (BRS(0.33Hz)). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of breathing in the spectral method of BRS determination with respect to age and hypertension. Such information would be important in evaluation of BRS at pathological conditions associated with extremely low BRS levels. Blood pressure was recorded by Finapres (5 minutes, controlled breathing at 0.33 Hz) in 118 healthy young subjects (YS: mean age 21.0+/-1.3 years), 26 hypertensive patients (HT: mean age 48.6+/-10.3 years) with 26 age-matched controls (CHT: mean age 46.3+/-8.6 years). A comparison of BRS(0.1Hz) and BRS(0.33Hz) was made. Statistically significant correlations were found between BRS(0.1Hz) and BRS(0.33Hz) in all groups: YS: r=0.52, p<0.01, HT: r=0.47, p<0.05, and CHT: r=0.70, p<0.01. The regression equations indicated the existence of a breathing-dependent component unrelated to BRS (YS: BRS(0.33Hz)=2.63+1.14*BRS(0.1Hz); HT: BRS(0.33Hz)=3.19+0.91*BRS(0.1Hz); and CHT: BRS(0.33Hz)=1.88+ +1.01*BRS(0.1Hz); differences between the slopes and the slope of identity line were insignificant). The ratios of BRS(0.1Hz) to BRS(0.33Hz) were significantly lower than 1 (p<0.01) in all groups (YS: 0.876+/-0.419, HT: 0.628+/-0.278, and CHT: 0.782+/-0.260). Thus, BRS evaluated at the breathing rate overestimates the real baroreflex sensitivity. This is more pronounced at low values of BRS, which is more important in patients with pathologic low BRS. For diagnostic purposes we recommend the evaluation of BRS at the frequency of 0.1 Hz using metronome-controlled breathing at a frequency that is substantially higher than 0.1 Hz and is not a multiple of 0.1 Hz to eliminate respiratory baroreflex-non-related influence and resonance effect on heart rate fluctuations.

Abstract
The aim of this study was a comparison of risk stratification for
death in patients after myocardial infarction (MI) and of risk
stratification for malignant arrhythmias in patients with
implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). The individual risk
factors and more complex approaches were used, which take into
account that a borderline between a risky and non-risky value of
each predictor is not clear-cut (fuzzification of a critical value)
and that individual risk factors have different weight (area under
receiver operating curve – AUC or Sommers´ D – Dxy). The risk
factors were baroreflex sensitivity, ejection fraction and the
number of ventricular premature complexes/hour on Holter
monitoring. Those factors were evaluated separately and they
were involved into logit model and fuzzy models (Fuzzy, FuzzyAUC, and Fuzzy-Dxy). Two groups of patients were examined:
a) 308 patients 7-21 days after MI (23 patients died within period
of 24 month); b) 53 patients with left ventricular dysfunction
examined before implantation of ICD (7 patients with malignant
arrhythmia and electric discharge within 11 month after
implantation). Our results obtained in MI patients demonstrated
that the application of logit and fuzzy models was superior over
the risk stratification based on algorithm where the decision
making is dependent on one parameter. In patients with
implanted defibrillator only logit method yielded statistically
significant result, but its reliability was doubtful because all other
tests were statistically insignificant. We recommend evaluating
the data not only by tests based on logit model but also by tests
based on fuzzy models.

Abstract
Increased blood pressure variability (BPV) and decreased interbeat interval (heart rate, respectively) variability (IBIV, HRV
respectively) are associated with cardiovascular disorders. The
aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of BPV and
IBIV (HRV) in young healthy individuals. Blood pressure and
inter-beat intervals (instantaneous values of heart rate,
respectively) were recorded beat-to-beat at rest (5 min, Finapres,
breathing at 0.33 Hz) in 152 subjects (19-24 years) 3 times in
periods of one week. Systolic (SBPV0.1r/SBPV0.1a) and diastolic
(DBPV0.1r/DBPV0.1a) blood pressure variability in relative (r.u.) and
absolute (mmHg2 /Hz) units and inter-beat interval
(IBIV0.1r/IBIV0.1a,), or heart rate (HRV0.1r/HRV0.1a) variability in
relative (r.u.) and absolute (ms2
/Hz, resp. mHz2 ) units were
determined by the spectral method as spectral power at the
frequency of 0.1 Hz and 0.33 Hz (SBPV0.33r/SBPV0.33a,
DBPV0.33r/DBPV0.33a, IBIV0.33r/IBIV0.33a, HRV0.33r/HRV0.33a). All
indices of BPV and IBIV (resp. HRV) revealed a lower
intraindividual than interindividual variability (ANOVA; p<0.001).
The mean values of all indices in each subject significantly
correlated with distribution of individual values in the same
subject (Pearson's correlation coefficient; p<0.001). Blood
pressure and inter-beat interval (heart rate) variability is an
individual characteristic feature.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of A1166C polymorphism in angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT(1)R) gene with baroreflex sensitivity (BRS in ms/mm Hg; BRSf in mHz/mm Hg) in man. BRS and BRSf were determined by a spectral method in 135 subjects (19-26 years) at a frequency of 0.1 Hz. Genotypes were detected by means of polymerase chain reaction and restriction analysis using enzyme DdeI. We compared BRS and BRSf among genotypes of this polymorphism. The frequency of genotypes of AT(1)R A1166C polymorphism was: 45.9 % (AA, n=62), 45.9 % (AC, n=62), 8.2 % (CC, n=11). Differences in BRS (p<0.05) and BRSf (p<0.01) among genotypes of this single nucleotide polymorphism were found (Kruskal-Wallis: BRS - AA: 7.9+/-3.3, AC: 8.6+/-3.6, CC: 5.9+/-2.3 ms/mm Hg; BRSf - AA: 12.0+/-4.0, AC: 12.0+/-5.0, CC: 8.0+/-3.0 mHz/mm Hg). Compared to carriers of other genotypes (AA+AC) the homozygotes with the less frequent allele (CC) showed significantly lower BRSf (Mann-Whitney: BRSf - AA+AC: 12.0+/-4.0, CC: 8.0+/-3.0 mHz/mm Hg; p<0.01) and borderline lower BRS (BRS - AA+AC: 8.2+/-3.5, CC: 5.9+/-2.5 ms/mm Hg; p=0.07). We found a significant association of A1166C polymorphism in AT(1) receptor gene with baroreflex sensitivity. Homozygosity for the less frequent allele was associated with decreased baroreflex sensitivity.

Abstract
The biochemical basis of a defective bioenergetic system was attempted to be determined in N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD)-resistant mutant of Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus. Components participating in the maintenance of methanoarchaeal membrane structure and function, such as the composition of the mixture of squalene and its hydrosqualene derivatives and also properties of membrane-associated proteins were compared in wild-type and mutant cells. The impairment of the bioenergetic system in DCCD-resistant mutant was detectable in the membrane-protein profile; it was also accompanied by changes in proportions of squalene-hydrosqualenes.

overweight (BMI between 24-30). Systolic BP was recorded beatto-beat for 5 min (Finapres, controlled breathing 0.33 Hz). BRS was determined by the cross-spectral method. The predicting power of BMI and BRS for hypertension was evaluated by
sensitivity, specificity, and receiver operating curve (ROC - plot of
sensitivity versus specificity). H compared with C had lower BRS
(p<0.01) and higher BMI (p<0.05). Multiple logistic regression
analysis (p<0.001) revealed that a decreased BRS (p<0.05) and
an increased BMI (p<0.01) were independently associated with
an increased risk of hypertension. No correlation between BMI
and BRS was found either in H or in C. Following optimal critical
values by ROC, the sensitivity, specificity and area under ROC
were determined for: BMI - 22.2 kg/m2, 61.8 %, 69.2 %, 66.0 %; BRS - 7.1 ms/mmHg, 67.7 %, 69.2 %, 70.0 %; BMI and BRS - 0.439 a.u., 73.5 %, 82.7 %, and 77.3 %. Decreased BRS
and overweight were found to be independent risk factors for
hypertension.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The analysis of short-term blood pressure regulation in children, adolescents and young adults 1 to 18 years after the treatment with anthracyclines known to have cardiotoxic side effects for oncological diseases was the aim of the present study. Thirty-one subjects treated with anthracyclines (PA) and 11 subjects treated with different antitumour drugs (P0) were investigated twice (the interval between two investigations 1-9 years). Three hundred and thirty-nine healthy subjects served as controls (C). Systolic (SBP), diastolic blood pressures (DBP) in the finger arteries and inter-beat interval (IBI) were recorded beat-to-beat (FINAPRES, Ohmeda, metronome controlled breathing, 5 minute recording); the values were corrected by auscultatory blood pressure measurements. Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS, ms/mmHg) was determined by a spectral method. As the investigated subjects were of different ages, the measured values were standardised on the age of 16 years by linear regression, and only standardised values (IBI16, SBP16, DBP16 and BRS16) were further analysed. No differences were found between PA, P0 and C in BRS16 and IBI16. SBP16 and DBP16 were significantly lower in PA (102.1+/-8.3/59.7+/-7.1 versus C: 114.1+/-12.4/69.0+/-9.5 mmHg; p<0.001/p<0.001; mean from two investigations). SBP16 but not DBP16 was also lower in P0 (102.7+/-12.6/64.5+/-9.7 mmHg; p<0.01/no significant) than in C. The correlation coefficient between SBP16 and period after treatment in PA was -0.11 (no significant) and -0.06 in DBP16 (no significant). Thus, there is not seen a trend to normalisation. CONCLUSION The anthracycline antitumour therapy in children decreases blood pressure and within 18 years after the treatment there is not observed a trend toward normal values. BRS was not influenced by the anthracycline therapy.

Abstract
The reproducibility of baroreflex sensitivity (BRS in ms/mmHg; BRSf in mHz/mmHg) determined with respect to the coherence between the variability in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and inter-beat intervals (IBI) or heart rate (HR) was tested. SBP and IBI were recorded beat-to-beat for 5 min (Finapres, breathing at 0.33 Hz) in 116 subjects (aged 19-24 years) sitting at rest three times in periods of one week. BRS and BRSf was determined by a cross-spectral method in a frequency range of 0.067-0.133 Hz. Eight indices were evaluated: BRS(0.1 Hz) /BRSf(0.1 Hz) - the value at a frequency of 0.1 Hz; BRS(COHmax)/BRSf(COHmax) - the value at maximum coherence; BRS(Wcoh)/BRSf - weighted value with respect to coherence values in the whole frequency range; BRS(WPcoh)/BRS(WPcoh) - weighted value with respect to coherence for frequencies with coherence above 0.5. All indices revealed a lower intraindividual than interindividual variability (p<0.001). The individual mean values of BRS or BRSf correlated (p<0.001) with standard deviation of their individual values for all indices. Baroreflex sensitivity is an individual characteristic feature with the highest reproducibility at its low values in spite of its resting variation. Reproducibility is not influenced by modification of the spectral method used.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Hypertension, which is a common cardiovascular disease in adults, could originate in childhood. The aim of the study was to show differences in baroreflex sensitivity and short-term blood-pressure variability between healthy and hypertensive children, adolescents and young adults, and those with white-coat effect with respect to obesity. We examined 54 subjects (11-21 years) who had repeatedly high causal blood pressure. Basing on 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, the subjects were divided into groups: 24 subjects with hypertension (Hy) and 30 subjects with white-coat effect (WhC). Hy and WhC subjects were compared with age-matched healthy controls in a ratio of 1 : 2 for both groups: 48 controls for hypertensive subjects (CoHy) and 60 for subjects with white-coat effect (CoWhC). Totally, 162 subjects were studied. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and inter-beat intervals (IBI) were recorded in all subjects for 5 min (Finapres, metronome controlled breathing at a frequency of 0.33 Hz). The power spectra of SBP and IBI were calculated. Indices of baroreflex sensitivity (BRS [ms/mmHg] and BRSf [mHz/mmHg]) were determined by the cross-spectral method. The SBP variability was determined as SBP spectral power in the range of 10-second rhythm (SBP (0.1Hz)). The body mass index (BMI) was significantly higher in both Hy and WhC compared with their controls (Hy vs. CoHy; WhC vs. CoWhC: 24.6 +/- 6.0 kg/m (2) vs. 20.4 +/- 2.8 kg/m (2), p < 0.001; 23.2 +/- 5.9 kg/m (2) vs. 20.3 +/- 2.6 kg/m (2), p < 0.05). BRS was significantly decreased in both groups (Hy vs. CoHy; WhC vs. CoWhC: 6.0 +/- 2.7 ms/mmHg vs. 9.5 +/- 3.9 ms/mmHg, p < 0.001; 7.2 +/- 3.1 ms/mmHg vs. 10.9 +/- 6.2 ms/mmHg, p < 0.01), and BRSf as well (Hy vs. CoHy; WhC vs. CoWhC: 10.8 +/- 4.6 mHz/mmHg vs. 16.2 +/- 6.1 mHz/mmHg, p < 0.001; 13.0 +/- 4.9 mHz/mmHg vs. 18.3 +/- 8.7 mHz/mmHg, p < 0.01). The decrease of baroreflex sensitivity was linked with the increase in the variability of SBP (0.1Hz), which was significant in hypertensives only (Hy vs. CoHy; WhC vs. CoWhC: 142 +/- 96 mmHg (2)/Hz vs. 94 +/- 83 mmHg (2)/Hz, p < 0.01; 121 +/- 131 mmHg (2)/Hz vs. 107 +/- 98 mmHg (2)/Hz). CONCLUSION The mild increase of BMI was associated with white-coat effect and a BRS and BRSf decrease. The greater increase of BMI was associated with hypertension and a deeper BRS and BRSf decrease. This greater decrease of BRS and BRSf in hypertensives was linked with the increased SBP-variability.

Abstract
The interrelationship between baroreflex sensitivity expressed in ms/mm Hg (BRS) or in Hz/mm Hg (BRSf), carotid wall thickness (IMT), and age was investigated in hypertensive and normotensive subjects with respect to the mean inter-beat interval (IBI) and blood pressure (BP). BP monitoring was performed in 25 treated hypertensives (Hy; 47.4+/-9.2 years of age) and 23 normotensives (Norm; 44.5+/-8.1 years). IMT was measured by ultrasonography. BRS and BRSf were determined by the spectral method (five-minute non-invasive beat-to-beat recording of BP and IBI, Finapres, controlled breathing at a frequency of 0.33 Hz). Significant differences between Hy and Norm were detected in IMT (Hy: 0.624+/-0.183, Norm: 0.522+/-0.070 mm; p<0.01), BRS (Hy: 3.5+/-1.6, Norm: 5.7+/-2.3 ms/mm Hg; p<0.01), BRSf (Hy: 0.005+/-0.002, Norm: 0.009+/-0.004 Hz/mm Hg; p<0.01), systolic BP (Hy: 131+/-21, Norm: 116+/-17 mm Hg; p<0.01) and diastolic BP (Hy: 77+/-16, Norm: 64+/-12 mm Hg; p<0.01). A significant correlation was found between age and IMT (Norm: 0.523, p<0.05; Hy+Norm: 0.419, p<0.01), age and BRS (Norm: -0.596, p< 0.01; Hy+Norm: -0.496, p<0.01), age and BRSf (Norm: -0.555, p<0.01; Hy: -0.540, p <0.01; Hy+Norm: -0.627, p<0.01), age and IBI (Hy: 0.478, p<0.05), age and diastolic BP (Hy: -0.454, p<0.05), BRS and IMT (Hy+Norm: -0.327, p<0.05) and BRSf and IMT (Hy+Norm: -0.358, p<0.05). Hypertensive patients have increased IMT and decreased BRS and BRSf. The positive correlation between age and IMT and the negative correlation between age and BRS and BRSf are in agreement with the hypothesis that the age-dependent decrease of baroreflex sensitivity corresponds to the age-related structural changes of the carotid wall. Using two indices of baroreflex sensitivity, BRS and BRSf, we could show that baroreflex sensitivity in hypertensives is lower not only due to thickening of the carotid wall, but also due to aging.

Abstract
The correlation between baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and the spectrum component at a frequency of 0.1 Hz of pulse intervals (PI) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) was studied. SBP and PI of 51 subjects were recorded beat-to-beat at rest (3 min), during exercise (0.5 W/kg of body weight, 9 min), and at rest (6 min) after exercise. BRS was determined by a spectral method (a modified alpha index technique). The subjects were divided into groups according to the spectral amplitude of SBP at a frequency of 0.1 Hz. The following limits of amplitude (in mm Hg) were used: very high > 5.4 (VH); high 5.4 > H > 3 (H); medium 3 > M > 2 (M), low < 2 (L). We analyzed the relationships between 0.1 Hz variability in PI and BRS at rest, during the exercise and during recovery in subgroups VH, H, M, L. The 0.1 Hz variability of PI increased significantly with increasing BRS in each of the groups with identical 0.1 Hz variability in SBP. This relationship was shifted to the lower values of PI variability at the same BRS with a decrease in SBP variability. The primary SBP variability increased during exercise. The interrelationship between the variability of SBP, PI and BRS was identical at rest and during exercise. A causal interrelationship between the 0.1 Hz variability of SBP and PI, and BRS was shown. During exercise, the increasing primary variability in SBP due to sympathetic activation was present, but it did not change the relationship between variability in pulse intervals and BRS.

Abstract
The purpose of the work was an analysis of lateral myelograms of the lumbosacral spine in the neutral position, in anteflexion and retroflexion from the aspect of the mobility of the dural sac and its relationship to the spinal canal. The group comprised 50 patients with clinically obvious discopathies and other vertebrogenic syndromes. The areas of the dural sac were measured planimetrically and evaluated by means of a computer. It was revealed: 1. The Soinal canal and dural sac are not static variables but dynamic ones. By movements of the lumbosacral spine the size of the dural sac changes and so does its shape. These phenomena can be evaluated not only qualitatively but also quantitatively. 2. The anteroposterior diameter of the dural sac on the myelograms in anteflexion and in retroflexion changes significantly, as compared with the neutral position, it increases during anteflexion and diminishes during retroflexion. 3. The area of the dural sac increases during anteflexion and diminishes in retroflexion, as compared with the neutral position. 4. Changes in the shape of the dorsal portion of the dural sac revealed in the segment of the discopathy are considered to be due to hypertrophy of the yellow ligaments.

Abstract
Morphological changes were induced by cis-dichlorodiammine platinum (II) (cis-DDP) in two Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformed cell lines: the productive P3HR-1 and the nonproductive Raji cell line. In P3HR-1 cells cis-DDP induced synthesis of viral antigens, viral particles and morphological changes characteristic for virus replication. In Raji cells, the virus replicative cycle was not induced and virus-specific morphological changes were limited to the sporadic appereance of some very early alterations in cell morphology. However, in Raji cells, but not in P3HR-1 cells, up to 20 per cent of the cell population exhibited differentiation-related changes towards plasma cell morphology. The most advances stage of cell differentiation detected was classified as plasmablast. Cis-DDP also induced some changes associated with the cytostatic effect of the drug. In the treated cell population cytokinesis was inhibited and frequently multinuclear cells appeared; moreover, extensive degenerative changes were observed.

Abstract
The level of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-determined nuclear antigen (EBNA-1) encoded by the Bam HI-K fragment of EBV DNA remained unchanged in P3HR-1 cells after induction of the productive cycle of virus replication by sodium-n-butyrate and 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). This was shown by the same capacity of cell-free extracts from untreated and treated P3HR-1 cells to absorb anti-EBNA-1 antibody from a known human serum.

Abstract
Treatment of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed, virus-producer P3HR-1 cell line with hydroxyurea (HU) resulted in increased synthesis of the EBV-specific early antigen (EA) and viral capsid antigen (VCA). The induction was noted already at a 200 mumol/l and reached plateau at a 1500 mumol/l HU concentration. At plateau concentration, the percentage of cells expressing EA and VCA was about 5 times higher than in the absence of the drug.
