Predisposing factors of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis III.

SOUHRN V práci jsme se zabývali problematikou rekurentní vulvovaginální kandidózy. Vulvovaginální kandidóza patří mezi nejběžnější genitální infekce. Předpokládá se, že 75% žen v reprodukčním věku minimálně 1krát za život prodělá ataku VVK. RVVK je nejčastěji definována čtyřmi nebo více atakami symptomatických vaginálních kandidóz během jednoho roku. Incidence tohoto onemocnění není přesně známá, předpokládá se okolo 5%, některé studie uvádějí až 8% žen v reprodukčním věku. Naše studie uvádí incidenci 7,6%. Pro účel této práce byly vypracovány dotazníky, pomocí nichž jsme se snažili zjistit možné predispoziční faktory tohoto onemocnění. Každý dotazník se skládal z 17 stran a obsahoval 49 otázek. Plné znění dotazníku je uvedeno v příloze. Dotazník obsahoval 15 silně orámovaných otázek určených jen ženám, které mají zkušenost s opakovaným kvasinkovým zánětem. Hodnotili jsme skupinu 184 žen, které vyplnily náš dotazník (návratnost byla 184 ze 199 dotazníků, což je 92,5%). Při vyhodnocování otázek dotazníku jsme popsali několik faktorů, které zvyšují riziko výskytu RVVK, jsou to zejména tyto: konzumace potravin s vysokým obsahem sacharidů, trvalé používáni intimek i mimo menstruaci, dlouhá horká sprcha, nošení těsných kalhot, kouření cigaret, vyšší počet sexuálních partnerů, vyholování ochlupení v klíně z větší...1 ABSTRACT In this study we are dealing with problems of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis. Vulvovaginal candidiasis is one of the most frequent genital infections. It is hypothesized that 75% of woman experience during their reproductive age at least 1 episode of VVC in their lifetime. RVVC can be defined as four or more attacks of symptomatic vulvovaginal candidiasis in 12 month period. The true incidence of RVVC remains unknown. Estimates over many years suggest that the incidence is approximately 5%, another recent study determined that the incidence is approximately 8% woman during their reproductive age. Our study determined that the incidence is approximately 7,6%. For purpose of this study were made questionnaires, which help to examine possible risk factors of RVVC. Each questionnaire is composed of 17 pages and contains 49 questions. Fulltext of the questionnaire is showed in enclosure. Questionnaire contain 15 heavily-circumscribed questions addressed only to woman, that have experience repeated episodes of vulvovaginal candidiasis. A sample of 199 woman were interviewed, 184 of them completed our questionnaire (92,5%). By evaluation of the questionnaire we have described number of factors, which increase risk of RVVC, these are primarily: diet high in sugar, continuous use of panty-liners in...Katedra biologických a lékařských vědDepartment of Biological and Medical SciencesFaculty of Pharmacy in Hradec KrálovéFarmaceutická fakulta v Hradci Králov

Addition of Indoles to Oxyallyl Cations for Facile Access to α-Indole Carbonyl Compounds

A direct coupling of unprotected indoles and α-halo ketones <i>via in situ</i> generated oxyallyl cation intermediates is described. The reactions efficiently afford α-indole carbonyl compounds with good to quantitative yields

The Influence of Oxygen Vacancies on Luminescence Properties of Na₃LuSi₃O₉:Ce³⁺

Oxygen vacancies play an important role in the luminescence processes of inorganic scintillator materials. In order to study the effects of oxygen vacancies on the luminescence properties of Na₃LuSi₃O₉:Ce³⁺, these phosphors were prepared using a high temperature solid-state reaction method under different atmosphere and raw materials. It was found that oxygen vacancy had great influence on the absorption, photoluminescence and decay curves of Na₃LuSi₃O₉:Ce³⁺. The luminescence intensity and peak position showed a regular change when synthesizing atmosphere changed. Na₃LuSi₃O₉:Ce³⁺ with more oxygen vacancies showed much stronger luminescence intensity at high temperature than that without vacancies. And it was also found that the decreasing of oxygen vacancies can quicken the photoluminescence decay of Ce³⁺ in Na₃LuSi₃O₉. The existence of oxygen vacancies in Na₃LuSi₃O₉:Ce³⁺ was confirmed by Zr⁴⁺ doping and thermoluminescence emission spectra. At last, emission bands of Ce³⁺ and oxygen vacancies were well distinguished under X-ray excitation and probable cause of the formation of oxygen vacancies was discussed
