    Background Arterial hypertension (AH) is a chronic disease increasingly often diagnosed in children. Apart from survival rate, the assessment of circulatory competence and the adverse effects of pharmacotherapy, the quality of life (QOL) assessment is another indicator of how efficient the chosen treatment of arterial hypertension is. The aim of the research was to close-up the quality of life measurement methods as well as to blow the whistle on the possibilities and barriers, conducting this kind of opinion amongst children and the youth in the European Union countries. Material and methods A review of current literature and internet resources concerning this subject was made. Results Resulting the analysis we explained the genesis, definition and conception of the quality of life. Moreover in the paper are presented information about questionnaires, available language versions of the European Union countries, used for the evaluation of the quality of life in children and adolescents with hypertension. The research specifically focuses on the presented problems and obstacles by indicating analysis of quality of life amongst children and the youth in the European Union countries. Furthermore, a presentation of appliance and the meaning of the obtained results in clinical practice were made. Conclusions The concept of quality of life, despite the highlighted problems and barriers, will continue to flourish as it appeals to the effects of treatment from the perspective of quality of life giving medicine a chance to show long-term success in controlling diseases.

    Apelina jest now膮 cytokin膮 o udowodnionej funkcji w wielu uk艂adach biologicznych, a szczeg贸lnie w uk艂adzie kr膮偶enia. Wywodzi si臋 z jednego genu i posiada kilka izoform, kt贸re r贸偶ni膮 si臋 d艂ugo艣ci膮 艂a艅cucha polipeptydowego i aktywno艣ci膮 biologiczn膮. Apelina wywiera efekt biologiczny przy udziale receptora APJ. Wykazuje strukturalne podobie艅stwo do uk艂adu RAA. Najwi臋ksze st臋偶enia mRNA apeliny i jej receptora zaobserwowano we wsierdziu oraz w 艣r贸db艂onku i kom贸rkach mi臋艣ni g艂adkich naczy艅 krwiono艣nych, co wi膮偶e si臋 z jej dzia艂aniem inotropowym dodatnim i hipotensyjnym. Podkre艣la si臋 pozytywn膮 rol臋 apeliny w pocz膮tkowych stadiach niewydolno艣ci mi臋艣nia sercowego. Zwraca si臋 uwag臋 na jej ujemn膮 korelacj臋 z warto艣ci膮 skurczowego ci艣nienia t臋tniczego u pacjent贸w z pierwotnym nadci艣nieniem t臋tniczym. Postuluje si臋 r贸wnie偶 jej udzia艂 w chorobie niedokrwiennej serca. Ponadto apelina wp艂ywa na proliferacj臋 kom贸rek 艣r贸db艂onka i formacj臋 naczy艅. Rola apeliny w gospodarce w臋glowodanowej polega na zmniejszaniu insulinooporno艣ci i poprawie tolerancji glukozy w pocz膮tkowym etapie rozwoju cukrzycy typu 2. Ze wzgl臋du na udzia艂 apeliny w modyfikacji dzia艂ania insuliny por贸wnuje si臋 jej rol臋 do roli adipocytokin zwi膮zanych z patogenez膮 oty艂o艣ci i insulinooporno艣ci, takich jak: wisfatyna, adiponektyna, leptyna, rezystyna, a tak偶e TNF-a. Apelina wp艂ywa r贸wnie偶 na sekrecj臋 wielu hormon贸w oraz jest markerem kom贸rek endokrynnych w przewodzie pokarmowym. Dok艂adne poznanie mechanizmu jej dzia艂ania w organizmie cz艂owieka i funkcji w poszczeg贸lnych uk艂adach wymaga dalszych bada艅, kt贸re mog膮 przyczyni膰 si臋 do rozwoju dzia艂a艅 terapeutycznych, szczeg贸lnie w chorobach uk艂adu sercowo-naczyniowego.Apelin is a new cytokine with proven functions in the cardiovascular system. It is derived from a single gene and has several isoforms that differ in polypeptide chain length and biological activity. In its biological effect participates APJ-receptor. Apelin shows structural similarity to the RAS. The highest concentrations of apelin mRNA and its receptor was observed in the endocardium and the endothelium of smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, which facts relate to its inotropic positive action and hypotensive effect. The positive role of apelin in the early stages of cardiac failure is emphasized. Furthermore, the negative correlation between its concentration and the value of systolic blood pressure in patients with essential arterial hypertension, gained attention. Its participation in coronary artery disease is also called on. Moreover apelin affects endothelial cell proliferation and vascular formation. Apelin also plays the role in carbohydrates utilization by reducing insulin resistance and improving glucose tolerance in the early stage of development of type 2 diabetes. Due to its participation in modification of insulin action, the effect of apelin is being compared to the role of adipocytokines associated with the pathogenesis of obesity and insulin resistance, such as, wisfatin, adiponectin, leptin, resistin, and TNF-α. Apelin also influences the secretion of several hormones and it is a marker of endocrine cells in the gastrointestinal tract. More elaborated knowledge of the mechanism of apelin action in the human and its function in various systems, requires further research that may contribute to the development of therapeutic effects, especially in cardiovascular diseases

    Wst臋p Tkanka t艂uszczowa jest obszarem syntezy licznych biologicznie aktywnych substancji. Jedn膮 z nich jest adiponektyna, kt贸r膮 coraz cz臋艣ciej kojarzy si臋 jako zbli偶on膮 do czynnik贸w ryzyka w rozwoju chor贸b sercowo-naczyniowych. Celem badania by艂a ocena st臋偶enia adiponektyny, insuliny, ocena wybranych parametr贸w metabolicznych, wywiadu rodzinnego i wska藕nik贸w antropometrycznych u m艂odych os贸b z pierwotnym nadci艣nieniem t臋tniczym. Materia艂 i metody W badaniu wzi臋艂o udzia艂 33 dotychczas nieleczonych m艂odych pacjent贸w z pierwotnym nadci艣nieniem t臋tniczym. Grup臋 kontroln膮 stanowi艂o 14 odpowiednio dobranych zdrowych os贸b. U wszystkich badanych dokonano pomiar贸w wska藕nik贸w antropometrycznych, ci艣nienia t臋tniczego i czynno艣ci serca, oznaczono w surowicy st臋偶enie frakcji lipidowych oraz adiponektyny i insuliny. Wyniki W grupie os贸b z nadci艣nieniem t臋tniczym, w stosunku do grupy kontrolnej, stwierdzono znamiennie wy偶sze warto艣ci ci艣nienia t臋tniczego skurczowego (140 ± 14 mm Hg vs. 113 ± 8 mm Hg) i rozkurczowego (81 ± 8 mm Hg vs. 71 ± 7 mm Hg), masy cia艂a (89,7 ± 25,8 kg vs. 62,9 ± 12,7 kg), BMI (27,5 ± 6,2 kg/m2 vs. 22,1 ± 1,3 kg/m2), st臋偶enia trigliceryd贸w (1,6 ± 1,2 mmol/l vs. 0,8 ± 0,3 mmol/l) i insuliny (42,4 ± 68,1 μjm./ml vs. 16,7 ± 14,6 μjm./ml). St臋偶enie adiponektyny w grupie badanej by艂o istotnie ni偶sze ni偶 w grupie kontrolnej (14,0 ± ± 4,5 μg/ml vs. 18,2 ± 6,1 μg/ml). Podobnie wywiad rodzinny w kierunku nadci艣nienia t臋tniczego by艂 cz臋艣ciej obserwowany w grupie os贸b choruj膮cych na nadci艣nienie t臋tnicze (78,8% vs. 35,7%). W grupie badanej wyst膮pi艂a istotna dodatnia korelacja pomi臋dzy st臋偶eniem adiponektyny a st臋偶eniem cholesterolu frakcji HDL oraz ujemna - mi臋dzy st臋偶eniem adiponektyny a st臋偶eniem trigliceryd贸w, mas膮 cia艂a i BMI. Wnioski 1. Adiponektyna mo偶e by膰 traktowana jako niezale偶ny od czynnik贸w ryzyka biomarker rozwoju nadci艣nienia t臋tniczego. 2. Ze wzgl臋du na cz臋ste wsp贸艂istnienie hipoadiponektynemii z nadci艣nieniem t臋tniczym i oty艂o艣ci膮 mo偶e ona odgrywa膰 rol臋 w ich patogenezie.Background Adipose tissue is a place where many bioactive substances are synthetized. One of them is adiponectin, which more and more often comes close to be regarded as one of the cardiovascular risk factors. The aim of this paper was to estimate the concentrations of adiponectin and insulin, selected metabolic parameters, family history and anthropometric factors in young population with primary arterial hypertension. Material and methods 33 young patients with essential arterial hypertension were included in this study. The control group consisted of 14 properly chosen healthy people. The anthropometric, blood pressure and heart rate measurements were taken. Serum concentrations of total cholesterol, lipoprotein fractions, adiponectin and insulin were assessed. Results In group of patients with arterial hypertension compared to control group significantly higher values of systolic (140 ± 14 mm Hg vs. 113 ± 8 mm Hg) and diastolic (81 ± 8 mm Hg vs. 71 ± 7 mm Hg) blood pressure, body mass (89.7 ± 25.8 kg vs. 62.9 ± 12.7 kg) and BMI (27.5 ± 6.2 kg/m² vs. 22.1 ± 1.3 kg/m²) were found and increased values of triglycerides (1.6 ± ± 1.2 mmol/l vs. 0.8 ± 0.3 mmol/l) and insulin (42.4 ± ± 68.1 μIU/ml vs. 16.7 ± 14.6 μIU/ml) concentrations were stated. The concentration of adiponectin were significantly lower (14.0 ± 4.5 μg/ml vs. 18.2 ± 6.1 μg/ml) in patients with arterial hypertension. The positive family history of arterial hypertension occurred more frequently in examined group (78.8% vs. 35.7%). In examined group the important positive correlation between adiponectin and HDL-cholesterol concentrations were revealed as well as negative one between adiponectin and concentration of triglycerides, body mass and BMI. Conclusions 1. Adiponectin could be treated as independent from risk factors biomarker of development of arterial hypertension. 2. Due to frequent coexistence with arterial hypertension and obesity low adiponectin concentration could play a role in their pathogenesis

Nie obserwowano natomiast istotnych statystycznie r贸偶nic APM1 mi臋dzy grup膮 1 a 2. Najsilniejsze korelacje mi臋dzy APM1 a M wyst膮pi艂y w grupie 2 (r = 0,62, p < 0,05). Wnioski Oty艂o艣膰 wi膮偶e si臋 z obni偶on膮 insulinowra偶liwo艣ci膮 tkankow膮 oraz hipoadiponektynemi膮. Wsp贸艂wyst臋powanie oty艂o艣ci i nadci艣nienia t臋tniczego powoduje dalszy spadek warto艣ci M i APM1. Dodatnia korelacja mi臋dzy APM1 a warto艣ci膮 M wskazuje na potencjalny udzia艂 tego bia艂ka w patogenezie insulinooporno艣ci.Background The aim of this study was the assessment of the level of insulin sensitivity (M value) in patients with obesity or obesity and hypertension. We measured adiponectin (APM1) in those patients and looked for the correlation between M and APM1. Materials and methods Group 1 &#8212; 10 patients with isolated obesity (SBP 127.9 &#177; 19.6 mm Hg, DBP 79.5 &#177; 10,9 mm Hg, age 37.6 &#177; 11.1 years, BMI 36.1 &#177; 7.3 kg/m2). Group 2 - 17 patients with hypertension and obesity (SBP 171.1 &#177; 6.8 mm Hg, DBP 92.2 &#177; 9.4 mm Hg, age 38.6 &#177; 11.2 years, BMI 33.2 &#177; 6.9 kg/m2). Control group - 10 healthy person. Insulin sensitivity was measured using the euglicemic metabolic clamp (Ferrannini/de Fronzo). APM1 was measured by RIA (Linco Research, USA). Results There were no significant differences in M value between group 1 and 2 (3.08 &#177; 1.11 vs. 2.47 &#177; 0.32 mg/kg/min), but both results were significantly lower than those in control group (9.4 &#177; 0.65 mg/kg/min). The APM1 was significantly lower in groups 1 and 2 than in control group (24.8 &#177; 6.3; 22.2 &#177; 12.6; 48.5 &#177; 14.1 mg/ml, respectively). But there were no differences between APM1 in groups 1 and 2. Most significant correlation between APM1 and M was in group 2 (r = 0.62, p < 0.05). Conclusion Obesity is connected with low insulin sensitivity and hipoadiponectinemia. Comorbidity of obesity and hypertension leads to further lowering of M and APM1 values. The relationship between M and APM1 emphases the role of those adipocytokin in pathogenesis of insulin resistance

    Introduction. Recently, an increase has been observed in the number of patients suffering from diseases which are the consequence of an anti-health life style; therefore it is necessary to undertake proper actions in this area, including those addressed to hospital staff. Objectives. 1) Comparison of self-reported state of health and life style between hospital staff in Sweden and Poland, and the motivation of these employees to change the to-date life style for one that is more health promoting. 2) Presentation, based on Swedish experiences in the field of health promotion in hospitals, of the possibilities to implement these changes in Polish conditions. Material and method. The study covered the staff from the following hospitals: 1) hospitals in Ostergotland County, Sweden, and 2) the Ludwik Perzyna Regional Polyclinical Hospital in Kalisz, Poland. The studies were conducted in parallel in Sweden and in Poland during the fourth quarter 2010. The research instrument was a questionnaire form. Results. The following measures should be undertaken by the staff of Polish hospitals: an increase in the consumption of fruit and vegetables, physical activity, organization of workshops aimed at the shaping of skills of coping with stress and relieving stress, assistance in reducing body weight and increasing physical activity. Obligatory breaks at work should be introduced for the consumption of meals and intake of beverages, including water, promotion of fluid replacement would reduce fatigue. An obligatory lunchtime would allow each employee to consume a decent meal, and consequently have respite away from one's own work activities. In order to have a well-functioning staff an employer should, in his/her own interest, decrease potential sick absenteeism, provide incentives for motor activity, e.g. by the organization of groups, reduction of weekly working time on behalf of documented physical activity, or financial support for the purchase of tickets for various forms of physical exercises. Promotion of collective exercise, e.g. common nordic walking for 30 min. during lunch, competition in the largest number of steps made. Promotion of healthy nutrition by the preparation of recipes for meals, several exemplary healthy meals in the form of a healthy alternative breakfast. During this event, a basket of fruit is provided, instead of cakes and sweets. Conclusions. 1) The life style of the staff of health care facilities is more health promoting in Sweden than in Poland. 2) It is possible to change the life style of employees of health care facilities into one that is more health promoting. Changes in this area have been made in Sweden with a great success; therefore, it is worthwhile implementing in Poland these Swedish experiences which may function also in Polish conditions. 3) The foundations of health promotion in enterprises have been known for a long time; however, considering the fact that the comparative studies show that these foundations are more advanced in Sweden, it is necessary that Polish employers devote more attention to this problem, and become interested in Swedish experiences in this area

Rola ka偶dego z tych zaburze艅 z osobna w podwy偶szaniu warto艣ci ci艣nienia t臋tniczego czy rozwoju nadci艣nienia budzi wiele kontrowersji. Celem badania by艂a ocena st臋偶enia leptyny, insuliny, profilu lipidowego oraz wska藕nika masy cia艂a (BMI) u m艂odych os贸b z pierwotnym nadci艣nieniem t臋tniczym. Materia艂 i metody W badaniu wzi臋艂o udzia艂 56 pacjent贸w w wieku 16-31 lat z pierwotnym nadci艣nieniem t臋tniczym. Grup臋 kontroln膮 stanowi艂o 10 odpowiednio dobranych pod wzgl臋dem p艂ci i wieku zdrowych os贸b. U wszystkich badanych przeprowadzono pomiary antropometryczne, ci艣nienia t臋tniczego (SBP, DBP), pobrano krew celem oznaczenia st臋偶enia leptyny, insuliny i lipid贸w. Wyniki W grupie os贸b z nadci艣nieniem t臋tniczym stwierdzono znamiennie wy偶sze warto艣ci ci艣nienia t臋tniczego skurczowego (138,8 &#177; 13,2 mm Hg vs. 113,4 &#177; 8,4 mm Hg) i rozkurczowego (81,9 &#177; 8,4 mm Hg vs. 71,4 &#177; 7,3 mm Hg), masy cia艂a (87,02 &#177; 25,10 kg vs. 62,93 &#177; 12,77 kg), BMI (27,26 &#177; 6,29 kg/ /m2 vs. 22,19 &#177; 3,47 kg/m2), a tak偶e wy偶sze st臋偶enia trigliceryd贸w (1,60 &#177; 1,28 mmol/l vs. 0,85 &#177; 0,39 mmol/l) i insuliny (37,48 &#177; 55,77 &#181;jm./ml vs. 16,70 &#177; 14,67 &#181;jm./ml) w surowicy w stosunku do grupy kontrolnej. Nie wykazano istotnej statystycznie r贸偶nicy w st臋偶eniach leptyny, cholesterolu ca艂kowitego, frakcji LDL ani frakcji HDL w grupie badanej w stosunku do grupy kontrolnej.

Wnioski U m艂odych os贸b st臋偶enie leptyny koreluje z BMI, st臋偶eniem insuliny i tr贸jgliceryd贸w, ale nie z nadci艣nieniem t臋tniczym. Osoby z pierwotnym nadci艣nieniem t臋tniczym i nadmiern膮 mas膮 cia艂a charakteryzuj膮 si臋 wy偶sz膮 insulinemi膮.Background In subjects with primary arterial hypertension often coexists excessive body mass and metabolic abnormalities like hiperleptinemia, increased insulin resistance, higher total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentrations and lower HDL-cholesterol level. The role of each of these abnormalities itself in elevation of blood pressure or arterial hypertension development remains controversial. The aim of this paper was to estimate concentrations of leptin, insulin, lipid profile and body mass index in young population with primary arterial hypertension. Material and methods 56 patients aged 16-31 with essential arterial hypertension were qualified to this study. The control group consisted of 10 carefully selected healthy people according to sex and age. The anthropometric, blood pressure and heart rate measurements were taken. In blood serum the concentration of leptin and insulin, total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL and HDL-cholesterol were assessed. Results In the group of people with arterial hypertension compared to the control group significantly higher values of systolic (138.8 &#177; 13.2 mm Hg vs. 113.4 &#177; 8.4 mm Hg) and diastolic (81.9 &#177; 8.4 mm Hg vs. 71.4 &#177; 7.3 mm Hg) blood pressure, body mass (87.02 &#177; 25.10 kg vs. 62.93 &#177; 12.77 kg) and BMI (27.26 &#177; 6.29 kg/m&#178; vs. 22.19 &#177; 3.47 kg/m&#178;) and increased values of triglycerides (1.60 &#177; 1.28 mmol/l vs. 0.85 &#177; 0.39 mmol/l) and insulin (37.48 &#177; 55.77 &#181;IU/ml vs. 16.70 &#177; 14.67 &#181;IU/ml) concentrations were observed. The assessment did not reveal significant differences in leptin, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol concentrations and heart rate between the examined and the control group. The positive family history through arterial hypertension occurred more frequently in the examined group (80.3% vs. 40.0%). Conclusions In young adults the leptin concentration correlates with BMI and insulin concentration but not with arterial hypertension. Subjects with essential arterial hypertension and excessive body mass have higher levels of insulin concentration

    Wst臋p Obecno艣膰 czynnik贸w ryzyka sercowo-naczyniowego mo偶na stwierdzi膰 ju偶 w populacji wieku rozwojowego. W tym czasie nie dochodzi jeszcze do rozwoju mia偶d偶ycogennych jednostek klinicznych, ale wczesna identyfikacja os贸b w populacji zagro偶onej jest priorytetem. Materia艂 i metody Do badania zakwalifikowano 37 chorych z pierwotnym nadci艣nieniem t臋tniczym, dotychczas nieleczonych. Wykonano badania antropometryczne, dokonano pomiaru ci艣nienia t臋tniczego, oznaczono st臋偶enia cholesterolu ca艂kowitego i tr贸jgliceryd贸w. Pomiaru grubo艣ci IMC t臋tnic szyjnych wsp贸lnych dokonano metod膮 ultrasonograficzn膮. Grup臋 kontroln膮 stanowi艂o 21 odpowiednio dobranych zdrowych os贸b. Wyniki W grupie os贸b z nadci艣nieniem t臋tniczym stwierdzono znamiennie wi臋ksze warto艣ci masy cia艂a i BMI, zwi臋kszone warto艣ci cholesterolu i tr贸jgliceryd贸w w stosunku do grupy kontrolnej. Wykazano, 偶e w grupie z nadci艣nieniem t臋tniczym grubo艣膰 IMC by艂a wi臋ksza ni偶 u os贸b zdrowych i wynosi艂a odpowiednio: w prawej t臋tnicy szyjnej wsp贸lnej: 0,057 &#177; 0,019 cm, w lewej: 0,052 &#177; 0,015 cm. W grupie os贸b z populacji kontrolnej 艣rednia grubo艣膰 IMC w prawej i lewej t臋tnicy szyjnej wsp贸lnej by艂a taka sama i wynosi艂a 0,041 &#177; 0,001 cm. Wnioski 1. W populacji m艂odych doros艂ych z pierwotnym nadci艣nieniem t臋tniczym stwierdza si臋 obecno艣膰 licznych czynnik贸w ryzyka sercowo-naczyniowego, w tym zwi臋kszon膮 grubo艣膰 IMC t臋tnic szyjnych. 2. Pomiar grubo艣ci IMC t臋tnic szyjnych u m艂odych os贸b z nadci艣nieniem t臋tniczym jest jedn膮 z nieinwazyjnych metod oceny zaawansowania procesu mia偶d偶ycowego, koreluj膮c膮 z obecno艣ci膮 innych czynnik贸w ryzyka.Background The presence of cardio-vascular risk factors could already been stated in developmental age. In this time the disease entities connected with atheromatosis have not been yet developed although early identification of people from risk population is the priority. Material and methods 37 treatmentnaive patients with essential arterial hypertension were qualified to this study. The anthropometric and blood pressure measurements were taken. The concentration of total cholesterol and triglicerides were assessed. The common carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) was estimated by high-resolution B-mode ultrasound. The control group consisted of 21 properly chosen healthy people. Results In arterial hypertension group compared to control group significantly higher values of body weight and body mass index (BMI) and increased values of total cholesterol and triglicerides concentrations were found. The values of intima-media thickness were higher in group of hypertensive youths compared to healthy ones. They equal respectively 0.057 &#177; 0.019 cm in right common carotid artery and 0.052 &#177; 0.015 cm in left common carotid artery. The values in both common carotid arteries in control group were the same and equal 0.041 &#177; 0.001 cm. Conclusions 1. In the population of young adults with essential hypertension numerous cardio-vascular risk factors including higher common carotid artery intima&#8211;media thickness were present. 2. The estimation of carotid artery intima&#8211;media thickness in young hypertensive adults is one of the noninvasive methods of assessment of atherogenesis progression with correlation of other risk factors
