Opis:
Obesity is a global problem, more and more children have a weight above the norm. Obesity is related to circulatory system and metabolic disorders. Relations between obesity and metabolic disorders are known, however factors affecting the risk of such syndromes may extend beyond mentioned relations. Existence of vitamin D receptors in many of body cells, especially in pancreas islets of Langerhans indicates the possibility of significant role played by vitamin D in glucose homeostasis. Several epidemiological studies have reported that low 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels, the most common vitamin D indicator in plasma, very frequent in obese children, is correlated with insulin resistance. Moreover, mechanism of vitamin D is associated both with calcium level in tissues, that regulate insulin synthesis and insulin secretion, and direct secretion of pancreatic beta cells. Parathormone PTH, often defined as obesity indicator, is also crucial. Its high level indicates the risk of metabolic disorders. There is no doubt that reducing of body mass together with complementation of vitamin D insufficiency is the best solution for obese children to decrease the risk of incidence and limit the consequences of type 2 diabetes, one of most common civilization disease.
Otyłość jest problemem na poziomie globalnym i dotyczy w coraz większym stopniu dzieci. Prowadzi do wielu chorób, w tym głównie związanych z układem krążenia i zaburzeniami metabolicznymi. Zależności pomiędzy otyłością a chorobami metabolicznymi są powszechnie znane, jednak okazuje się, że czynniki wpływające na ryzyko zachorowalności mogą wykraczać poza wspomniane zależności. Obecność receptorów witaminy D w wielu komórkach ciała, w tym w obszarze trzustkowych wysp Langerhansa, wskazuje na możliwą istotną rolę tej witaminy w przemianach, które warunkują zachowanie właściwej glikemii. Wiele badań wskazuje, że niski poziom 25 hydroksywitaminy D, często spotykany u dzieci z nadwagą, jest skorelowany ze zwiększoną insulinoopornością. Mechanizm działania witaminy D jest nie tylko związany z regulacją poziomu wapnia w tkankach, ale także wiąże się z bezpośrednim wydzielniczym działaniem trzustkowych komórek beta, czyli regulacją syntezy i sekrecji insuliny. Nie bez znaczenia jest stężenie parathormonu PTH, często nazywanego wyznacznikiem otyłości, którego wysoki poziom świadczy o możliwym ryzyku zachorowania na choroby metaboliczne. Wątpliwości nie budzi fakt, iż obniżenie masy ciała wraz z uzupełnieniem niedoborów witaminy D u dzieci otyłych jest właściwym sposobem zminimalizowania ryzyka zachorowania lub ograniczenia skutków jednej z najczęstszych chorób cywilizacyjnych naszych czasów, cukrzycy typu 2.

Introduction. In today’s world, tobacco is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality and is associated with unhealthy behavior. Poland is among the countries with high rates of smoking, and occurrence of tobacco related diseases. Tobacco use by children and adolescents is a serious public health problem because of the immediate and long-lasting harmful effects on health. A large group of current smokers begin smoking during youth. The goal of the work was to culturally and linguistically adapt, and test and pre-evaluate a Polish version of the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS), which identifies and monitors trends in tobacco use among young people. Materials and methods. The test was administered by a test-retest method in 2015 with participation of 47 (25 girls and 22 boys) people aged 17–18. Respondents filled out the questionnaire twice within two weeks. The compliance percentage of individual test items and correlations between individual items in repeated measurements were evaluated. Results. More than seventy percent have reliability ratios at very high or high levels with twenty five percent at moderate levels. Conclusion. The tested Polish version of the NYTS questionnaire may be used in adolescent studies.

Introduction. According to epidemiologic research, the number of obese and overweight children is increasing. A common way of dealing with this problem is enacting legislation regarding food served in educational institutions. In Poland, the regulations regarding the assortment of school shops are contained in the Ordinance of the Minister of Health of 26th June 2015 (and its subsequent amendments). Aim. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the product range of school shops and vending machines in Rzeszów. Methods and materials. The study covered 52 primary and secondary schools in Rzeszów. The schools included in the study had 15568 students altogether. Products bought by students in school shops and vending machines were recorded over the period of 3 days. Results. The study has shown a statistically significant relationship (p <0.001) between the amount and types of products bought in primary and secondary schools. Healthy snacks only made up a small percentage of products sold. Secondary schools sold 20% more snacks with high sugar content compared to primary schools. A majority of products sold were compliant with regulations (p=0.12). Conclusions. The assortment of school shops has changed after the implementation of the Ordinance of the Minister of Health of 26 June 2015 (and its subsequent amendments). The newly introduced restrictions significantly narrowed down the range of products offered in schools, reducing the number of products containing more than 15g of sugar (13.5g per 100g/ml in case of dairy products) or 10g of fat per portion.

Opis:
Introduction. Structural glycans have great biological significance and are involved in signaling and cell communication of the immune system. They are attached to proteins and lipids in an enzymatic process called glycosylation where glycosyltransferase and glycosidases bind sugar residues and lead to the formation of bioconjugates. Aim. In this paper we describe the importance of glycosylation in the immune system and its changes in diseases. Material and methods. This review was performed according to systematic literature search of major bibliographic databases. Results. Proper glycosylation ensures the functioning of the organism, however, defects in structural glycans of immune system changes their properties and can lead to disorders and further to autoimmune diseases. It has been also proven that glycosylation of autoimmune system is changed during cancer. In this paper we described types of structural glycans, significance of glycosylation of selected components of the immune system and its modifications in disorders. Conclusions. Knowledge about changes in the glycosylation in diseases is the key to understanding the processes of autoimmune diseases and may allow the development of new treatments in the future.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of selected factors, such as: gender, age, stroke type, side of paresis, time to initiation of rehabilitation, first or successive in-patient rehabilitation and severity of paresis at admission on the final clinical status of patients and on the outcome of treatment at the department of rehabilitation, district hospital.Material and methods: All 431 post-stroke patients qualified for the treatment at the department of rehabilitation between January 2002 and December 2003 were included in the study. Patients were divided into four age groups. Results of rehabilitation were analyzed in male and female groups separately. Patients were divided according to the stroke type into four groups either suffering from an ischaemic or a hemorrhagic stroke; another selection cirterion was left-sided vs. right-sided paresis. The so-called general fitness, Barthel Index and Brunnström test were used to evaluate clinical status of the patients and the progress of rehabilitation. Statistical analysis was carried out using the t-test or – alternatively – the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed rank test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) or the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test, and the chi-square test.Results: Based on the obtained results, it was proven that multidimensional, complex rehabilitation in a specialist centre, carried out by rehabilitation team resulted in significant improvement of post-stroke patients’ clinical status. The improvement was observed for all measurements of fitness used in the study. Analysis of the effects of rehabilitation with regard to patients’ age indicated that an improvement in general fitness, motor activity (reduction of paresis) and independency in activities of daily living was obtained in each age group. Based on the analysis conducted in groups of patients with different stroke aetiologies, it was found that effects of the treatment in patients with haemorrhagic stroke were better than in patients with ischaemic stroke, which was observed in each of the applied measures used for the evaluation of patients’ clinical status. Mean improvement observed after the treatment was greater in patients with right-sided paresis than in patients with left-sided paresis. Gender had no significant effect on the extent of rehabilitation results.Conclusions: Results of the study indicate that in post-stroke patients, gender, advanced age, stroke location, stroke type or motor skills at admission do not constitute a criterion determining the possibility of conducting rehabilitation procedures.

Hypertension is a serious health issue both in Poland and worldwide. It has been demonstrated that hypertension diagnosed in childhood persists in adulthood. Therefore, knowledge of the risk factors, prophylaxis and treatment of hypertension are crucial due to its serious medical and social consequences. Early identification of risk factors for hypertension allows to implement targeted preventive actions leading to the modification of habits connected with lifestyle, which in turn may lead to a reduction in the incidence of the disease or reduce its effects. The aim of the paper is to characterize the relationship between the occurrence of excessive body mass and hypertension in adults and in children and adolescents. Material and methods. A review of Polish and foreign literature mainly from the last 10 years. The following databases were searched: PubMed, EBSCO, Science Direct, Termedia, Polish Medical Bibliography.
Nadciśnienie tętnicze stanowi poważny problem zdrowotny zarówno w Polsce, jak i na całym świecie. Wykazano, że nadciśnienie tętnicze rozpoznane w dzieciństwie utrzymuje się również w okresie dorosłości. Dlatego znajomość czynników ryzyka, profilaktyka i leczenie nadciśnienia tętniczego jest niezwykle ważne ze względu na jego poważne konsekwencje zdrowotne i społeczne. Wczesna identyfikacja czynników ryzyka nadciśnienia tętniczego pozwala na wdrożenie ukierunkowanego działania prewencyjnego prowadzącego do modyfikacji nawyków związanych ze stylem życia, co w konsekwencji może doprowadzić do zmniejszenia zachorowalności na tę chorobę lub ograniczenia jej skutków. Celem pracy jest charakterystyka zależności pomiędzy występowaniem nadmiernej masy ciała i nadciśnienia tętniczego u osób dorosłych oraz w populacji wieku rozwojowego. Materiał i metoda.

Introduction. It is commonly known that physical activity has great influence on the quality of life and health in the people of all age groups. Physical activity has a beneficial influence on both functional and locomotive abilities, the dynamics of which deteriorates during the process of aging, and this in turn has an impact upon satisfaction of basic biological, social and psychological needs. Aim. The main purpose of this study was an assessment of selected factors affecting the level of physical activity in the elderly. Material and methods. The study group consisted of 100 participants (85 women and 15 men), aged from 65 to 69 years old. An International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) - Polish long version was used. Results. A high level of physical activity was reached by 44 participants, moderate level of physical activity was noted in 53 participants, and low in physical activity was found in 3 participants. Older the subjects reached lower MET value in case of job-related physical activity and higher MET value in case of physical activity in free time and total intense effort. Conclusion. The level of job-related physical activity, the level of physical activity in free time and the total intense level of activity depended on the age of the subjects. There were no association between the level of total physical activity and sex, place of residence and BMI of participants.

Opis:
The aim of this paper is a straightforward presentation of the steroidogenesis process and the most common type of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) - 21-hydroxylase deficiency - as well as the analytical diagnostic methods that are used to recognize this disease. CAH is a family of common autosomal recessive disorders characterized by impaired adrenal cortisol biosynthesis with associated androgen excess due to a deficiency of one or more enzymes in the steroidogenesis process within the adrenal cortex. The most common and prototypical example of the CAH disorders group (90-95%) is caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Less frequent types of CAH are 11β-hydroxylase deficiency (up to 8% of cases), 17α-hydroxylase deficiency, 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency, P450 oxidoreductase deficiency and StAR deficiencies. In the 21-hydroxylase and 11β-hydroxylase deficiency, only adrenal steroidogenesis is affected, whereas a defect in 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase or 17α-hydroxylase also involves gonadal steroid biosynthesis. Many countries have introduced newborn screening programs based on immunoassays measuring 17-hydroxyprogesterone from blood spots used for other neonatal screening tests which enable faster diagnosis and treatment of CAH. Currently, chromatographic techniques coupled with mass spectrometry are gaining popularity due to an increase in the reliability of the test results.

Introduction. A severe epidemic of lifestyle diseases, including obesity, is now one of the biggest problems of modern medicine. This is a medical problem, social and economic. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of selected perinatal and environmental factors on the prevalence of overweight and obesity in preschool children located in the Subcarpathian region. Materials and methods. The survey was conducted in 2012, it included 200 children between the ages of 3 to 6 years (87 boys and 113 girls) from kindergartens. In children, weight loss was measured on an electronic balance and their height was also measured on medical scale. Obesity was determined on the basis of criteria developed by the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF). Results. The prevalence of overweight and obesity among preschool children was found in 3-year-olds (6.4%), 4-year- olds (11.3%), 5-year-olds (17.7%), and 6-year-olds (20.7%). Conclusions. Body weight and mother’s BMI are factors that significantly increase the risk of obesity among children aged 3–6. Additionally, in boys, a risk factor is also the birth body length.

Introduction. Obesity in children and adolescents is a growing problem in the 21st century. The epidemic of chronic non-communicable diseases resulting from obesity is currently one of the biggest problems of modern medicine. Excessive body weight is the result of a long-lasting imbalance between the amount of energy supplied and its expenditure. Energy regulation of the body is subject to both genetic and environmental factors. Among other things, due to this, the problem of excessive body weight is most severe in societies with a high degree of socio-economic development. The aim of this paper is to determine the influence of selected environmental and social factors on the occurrence of overweight and obesity in pre-school children. Material and methods. The study included pre-school children from south-eastern Poland. After obtaining the consent from parents, 200 children (87 boys, 113 girls) aged 3 to 6 years were examined. A questionnaire used for the research was derived from the program: European Pilot Study Evaluating the Influence of Local Promotional Activities on Prevention of Obesity in Pre-school Children. In the subjects, body weight was measured on an electronic scale three times and the body height was measured three times using a stadiometer. Obesity was determined according to the criteria developed by the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF). Results. The prevalence of overweight and obesity among children amounted to 6.4% in 3-year-olds, 11.3% in 4-year-olds, 17.7% in 5-year-olds, and 20.7% in 6-year-olds. A factor significantly increasing the risk of obesity among the examined girls and boys was the mother’s BMI index. Conclusion. Although knowledge about the factors that promote overweight and obesity is common, it is still a common health problem. Particular attention should be paid to the prevention of obesity in children of parents with a BMI above 30 kg m2. Early maternal education can change the lifestyle of the whole family.

Introduction. Cerebral palsy (CP) is a problem presenting multiple issues and the prevalence of this condition is quite significant. CP risk factors are mainly observed in prematurely born children as well as those affected by complications around the time of birth or during the period of mother’s pregnancy. Quite frequently CP is manifested by abnormal muscle tone, contractures and deformities, and consequently impaired fine and gross motor functions. Aim. The study was designed to examine the level of hand function, i.e. fine motor skills and to investigate whether there is a correlation between development of fine motor and gross motor functions. Material and methods. The study group included 80 children with infantile CP. In the group there were 24 cases with spastic diplegia, 36 with spastic hemiplegia, and 20 with bilateral hemiplegia. During the study the children performed Box and Blocks test, and their parents filled in Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) describing the level of fine motor function development in their children. The children were additionally asked to perform two motor tasks. The first one involved an attempt to assume position on all fours, and the other one checked the ability to assume and maintain standing position. Results. The best scores in the conducted tests were found in children with CP taking the form of spastic diplegia, and the poorest scores in MACS, Box and Blocks test as well as in motor tasks assessing gross motor function were observed in children with bilateral hemiplegia. Conclusion. The form of infantile CP affects the level of manual abilities. There is a correlation between the level of gross motor and fine motor functions development.

Otyłość wśród dzieci i młodzieży jest coraz większym problemem zdrowotnym w XXI wieku. Reklamy żywności o wysokiej wartości energetycznej i ubogiej w składniki odżywcze mogą wpływać na wybory konsumentów. Celem badania była analiza wartości kalorycznej wszystkich reklamowanych produktów żywnościowych, skierowanych do dzieci w trzech stacjach telewizyjnych. Metody: Nagrano wszystkie programy emitowane w trzech kanałach telewizyjnych (TVP1, Polsat, Cartoon Network), w ciągu czterech dni każdego tygodnia (przez okres od września do października). Emitowane reklamy zostały przeanalizowane w celu określenia liczby reklamowanych produktów żywnościowych. Następnie zakupiono reklamowane produkty i obliczono ich wartość energetyczną. Wyniki: Średnia wartość kaloryczna reklamowanych produktów żywnościowych, skierowanych do dzieci wahała się od 1700 kcal/ dzień w stacji Cartoon Network do 33000 kcal/ dzień w telewizji Polsat. Reklamowaną żywność stanowiły głównie przekąski i produkty typu fast-food, o wysokiej zawartości tłuszczów i cukru. Średnia wartość kaloryczna reklamowanego produktu żywnościowego wyniosła 500 kcal na 100g. Wnioski: w reklamach telewizyjnych skierowanych do dzieci, promuje się głównie żywność o wysokiej wartości energetycznej, ubogą w składniki odżywcze. Taka promocja może wpływać na zachowanie konsumentów i tym samym wpływać na nadmierne spożycie wysokokalorycznych produktów żywnościowych.
Obesity among children and adolescents is a growing health problem in the twenty-first century. The marketing of energydense nutrient-low foods via television advertising likely affects consumer choice. Successful advertising can give added value to products and may influence the viewer’s perception regarding the nutritional value and energy content of the advertised food. The aim of the study was to analyze the caloric content of all food-products advertised to children on three television stations. Methods: All programmes broadcast on three television channels (TVP1; Polsat and Cartoon Network) were recorded on four days of each week for a 24-hour period. Advertisements were analyzed to determine the number of food. The advertised products were then purchased and the calorific value was recorded. Results: The average caloric value of advertising for children ranged from 1700 kcal per day on the Cartoon Network to 33000 kcal per day on Polsat TV. The main ads targeting children were for snack and fast-food products with high levels of fat and sugar and an average caloric value of 500 kcal per 100g. Conclusions: TV advertising aimed at child viewers promotes mainly energy-dense and nutrient-poor products. The promotion of such products may have an impact on consumer behavior and in turn influence the intake of excessive calories.

Opis:
The aim of the study was to determine the level of functional independence in adult patients with previously undiagnosed or untreated phenylketonuria (PKU). The study was conducted among 400 intellectually impaired adult residents of Social Welfare Homes in South-Eastern Poland born prior to the introduction of neonatal PKU screening programs. PKU was screened by filter paper test using tandem mass spectrometry methods, and confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometric analysis of PKU organic acids in urine. Degree of functional independence included the assessment of activities of daily living (Barthel Index) and measures of balance and gait (Tinetti scale). Eleven individuals with previously untreated PKU were identified whereby eight presented with moderate disability and three with mild disability. Six had a high risk of falls and five had a moderate risk of falls. This study indicates that there is considerable number of undiagnosed PKU patients within the Polish population who require assessment and management in order to reduce the impact of the neurological and neuropsychiatric problems associated with the condition. Appropriate therapy for those with undiagnosed PKU should, in particular, address the risk of falls.

Opis:
Introduction. In recent years there has been a significant increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in humans. It turns out that the problem is not limited to adults; excessive body weight is occurring in children more often. Aim. The main purpose of this work was to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity in preschool children from the Rzeszów district, and to determine risk factors for occurrence. Materials and survey method. The study was conducted among 200 preschool children (3 - 6 years of age) from the Rzeszów poviat area. Measurements of height, weight, and determination of BMI were performed and these values are standardized according to the WHO centile grids appropriate for each age group. Survey results. Normal weight was observed in 58% of the respondents, 11% were overweight, and 10.5% were obese, whereas 20.5% of children had undernourishment. Obese children were the largest group among 6-year-olds. Among 4 year old children, abnormal body weight were more frequent in boys. On the other hand, in children aged 5 years, undernourishment or overweight was found more frequently in girls. Conclusions. The study did not confirm a significant relationship between gender, place of residence and socio-economic situation of respondents, and the prevalence of overweight or obesity. The results of this study indicate that the problem of excessive body weight refers to the increasing number of children.
