INFLUENCE OF VINE VIGOR GROWTH ON CODREANCA (BLACK MAGIC) TABLE GRAPES QUALITY

The stressful climatic conditions of the last years have led to the need to pay more attention to the native varieties, which are adapted to the local conditions and ensure the obtaining of quality harvests. Autochthonous varieties of table grapes have dietary properties, attractive exterior appearance and excellent taste qualities.This work presents a 3-year study of the variability of grape composition of Codreanca (Black Magic) – a Moldavian grape variety, in a vineyard located in Purcari (Republic of Moldova). Grapevine were different pruned according to growth vigor: low - 18 – 22 buds (1 spur and 2 canes); medium vigor – 24 - 28 buds (1 spur and 3 canes) and high vigor – 30 - 34 buds (2 spurs and 4 canes). Climatic conditions and growth vigor had an important influence on vine fertility and productivity. Results showed that vine balance at which vegetative and reproductive growth can be sustained with adequate fruit production and desired fruit quality was found to be for Codreanca on vines with medium vigor. Grapes harvested from medium vigor vine recorded optimum values of quality (sugar and acid content, sugar/acid ratio) and cluster indexes (average weight, lenght and width, berry lenght and width, berry weight, grape and berry composition, cluster structure index, berry index, berry composition index, berry sfericity and cluster compactness). Viticultural practices used by grape growers can also increase or decrease vine growth as needed, to obtain high quality production

Eficienta economică şi tehnologică a utilizării giberelinei la soiurile pentru struguri de masă

iticulture for the agriculture of Moldova is an important and effective branch, but the table grapes sector is an efficient and more important for small, medium and family business. Increasing the quality of table grapes is a necessity for society and consumers. The purpose of the research from this article is to study the influence of Gobbi Gib 2LG on the quantity, quality and economic efficiency of grapes of Beauty Seedless and Prezentabil varieties. The research was conducted in the vineyards of the „Terra Vitis” LTd, from Southern wine region in Moldova. Research results have shown that the dose of 2.4 l/ha is most useful for conditions by the south part of Moldova, for Beauty seedless variety and the dose of 0,98 l/ha for Prezentabil varieti

Evaluation of risk factors in the development of the viticulture and wine sector in the Republic of Moldova (compared to Ukraine, Romania, Czech Republic, Germany)

The viticulture and winemaking sector of the Republic of Moldova is important and strategic for the national economy. The successful activity of enterprises in the viticulture and winemaking sector is closely related to some factors - risk factors. During the 2020-2022 years, enterprises from the Moldova, Ukraine, Romania, the Czech Republic, Germany, with viticulture and winemaking activities, were surveyed. Criteria for assessing risk factors ranged from 1.0 (low) to 5.0 (high). As a result of data processing, the following total average results were obtained - economic factors - Moldova - 4.08, Ukraine - 4.56, Romania - 3.92, Czech Republic - 3.51, Germany - 2.53; political factors - Moldova - 4.04, Ukraine - 4.82, Romania - 4.01, Czech Republic - 3.68, Germany - 2.86; technological factors - Moldova - 4.10, Ukraine - 4.02, Romania - 4.00, Czech Republic - 4.06, Germany - 3.60; environmental factors - Moldova - 4.06, Ukraine - 4.13, Romania - 3.75, Czech Republic - 3.24, Germany - 2.13; legislative factors - Moldova - 4.05, Ukraine - 4.60, Romania - 4.06, Czech Republic - 4.02, Germany - 4.00; information factors - Moldova - 4.02, Ukraine - 4.46, Romania - 3.48, Czech Republic - 3.92, Germany - 3.23; group of moral factors - Moldova - 4.04, Ukraine - 4.20, Romania - 4.15, Czech Republic - 3.95, Germany - 3.00; retrospective factors - Moldova - 4.13, Ukraine - 4.50, Romania - 4.02, Czech Republic - 4.01, Germany - 3.25; factor human resources - Moldova - 4.30, Ukraine - 4.42, Romania - 3.96, Czech Republic - 3.90, Germany - 3.02

ASSESSMENT OF VOLATILE COMPOUNDS OF SOME RED WINE SAMPLES FROM REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA AND ROMANIA USING GC-MS ANALYSIS

Five monovarietal wines (Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rară Neagră from Republic of Moldova and Fetească Neagră from Romania) and two bivarietal wines (Codru and Vin Virgin also from Republic of Moldova) were submitted to a liquid-liquid extraction with dichloromethane and analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). A total of 23 volatile compounds were identified and quantified such as higher alcohols, esters, fatty acids and lactones. Considering all the volatile compounds detected, higher alcohols and esters are the main contributors to Romanian and Republic of Moldova red wines

Post-anaesthesia pulmonary complications after use of muscle relaxants (POPULAR): a multicentre, prospective observational study

Background Results from retrospective studies suggest that use of neuromuscular blocking agents during general anaesthesia might be linked to postoperative pulmonary complications. We therefore aimed to assess whether the use of neuromuscular blocking agents is associated with postoperative pulmonary complications. Methods We did a multicentre, prospective observational cohort study. Patients were recruited from 211 hospitals in 28 European countries. We included patients (aged ≥18 years) who received general anaesthesia for any in-hospital procedure except cardiac surgery. Patient characteristics, surgical and anaesthetic details, and chart review at discharge were prospectively collected over 2 weeks. Additionally, each patient underwent postoperative physical examination within 3 days of surgery to check for adverse pulmonary events. The study outcome was the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications from the end of surgery up to postoperative day 28. Logistic regression analyses were adjusted for surgical factors and patients’ preoperative physical status, providing adjusted odds ratios (ORadj) and adjusted absolute risk reduction (ARRadj). This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01865513. Findings Between June 16, 2014, and April 29, 2015, data from 22803 patients were collected. The use of neuromuscular blocking agents was associated with an increased incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in patients who had undergone general anaesthesia (1658 [7·6%] of 21694); ORadj 1·86, 95% CI 1·53–2·26; ARRadj –4·4%, 95% CI –5·5 to –3·2). Only 2·3% of high-risk surgical patients and those with adverse respiratory profiles were anaesthetised without neuromuscular blocking agents. The use of neuromuscular monitoring (ORadj 1·31, 95% CI 1·15–1·49; ARRadj –2·6%, 95% CI –3·9 to –1·4) and the administration of reversal agents (1·23, 1·07–1·41; –1·9%, –3·2 to –0·7) were not associated with a decreased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. Neither the choice of sugammadex instead of neostigmine for reversal (ORadj 1·03, 95% CI 0·85–1·25; ARRadj –0·3%, 95% CI –2·4 to 1·5) nor extubation at a train-of-four ratio of 0·9 or more (1·03, 0·82–1·31; –0·4%, –3·5 to 2·2) was associated with better pulmonary outcomes. Interpretation We showed that the use of neuromuscular blocking drugs in general anaesthesia is associated with an increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. Anaesthetists must balance the potential benefits of neuromuscular blockade against the increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications
