Dobroczynne owady w zrównoważonym rozwoju. Chrząszcze i motyle w lecznictwie
(Uniwersytet Rzeszowski: Południowo-Wschodni Oddział Polskiego Towarzystwa Inżynierii Ekologicznej z siedzibą w Rzeszowie, 2019) Knutelski, Stanisław; Kuryło, Adrianna; Knutelska, Emilia
Owady spełniają kluczową rolę w ekosystemach. Ich zróżnicowana obecność jest ważna dla zrównoważonego rozwoju cywilizacji. Przedstawiono przykłady zastosowania chrząszczy (Coleoptera) i motyli (Lepidoptera) w lecznictwie. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono niektórym biologicznie aktywnym substancjom mającym działanie przeciwdrobnoustrojowe, przeciwgrzybiczne, przeciwwirusowe i przeciwnowotworowe.

Natural properties of lycopene and its application in medicine
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2021) Sowińska, Marta
Introduction. The subject of the article is a chemical compound belonging to the carotenoid family, i.e. lycopene. Aim. The aim of this study was to describe interest among scientists regarding lycopene due to its unique properties, general availability and potential for wide application in medicine. Material and methods. This article is a review in which the properties of lycopene, its chemical structure and sources (especially in the form of tomato fruits and its products), as well as its important role and importance in medicine, is presented. Analysis of the literature. Lycopene is an interesting compound with interesting properties. It may prove to be an important and readily available means of preventing and fighting cancer (especially prostate cancer, uterine cancer and breast cancer). Additionally, lycopene can counteract cardiovascular diseases that are common nowadays. Conclusion. The data indicates increased number of papers regarding applications of lycopene in medicine.
The impact of an educational game on rational drug use and society’s attitudes towards the role of nurses
(Publishing Office of the University of Rzeszow, 2024-09) Dolu, İlknur; Önal, Yakup; Taşkaya, Zehra; Savci, Sema Nur; Yilmaz, Fatih
Introduction and aim. Despite critical role of nurses in managing medication1, public perspectives of the role nurses play in rational drug use is still unclear. The study aimed to asess the impact of the “HEALTHgain” game, an educational tool, on enhancing individual comprehension of proper medication usage and their perceptions of the significance of the contributions of nurses in society. Material and methods. This pretest-post-test, randomized control study took place betweenn May and November 2022 in Turkey. Two-hundred and thirty seven individuals aged 18 years and above were recruited. Results. The “HEALTHgain” game had a noteworthy impact on the knowledge of rational drug usage (F(1)=45.739, p<0.001) and attitudes of society towards a nurse’s role in rational drug use between the baseline and end measurements after 14-day of playing the game (F(1)=283.434, p<0.001). Morover, there were a significant improvement in both intervention and control group knowledge level of rational drug use between the initial and final assessments after a two-week period of game play, though it had not been presented in any table (t=-3.824, p<0.001 for control group; t=-35.492, p<0.001 for intervention group). Conclusion. The study recommends that enhancing the game through contributions from various disciplines could elevate the rational use of medical knowledge and positively influence individual attitudes toward the role of nurses.
The significance of glycocalyx in medicine
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2021) Wawrzkowicz, Jakub; Witek, Marcin; Winiarczyk, Izabela; Wyleciał, Michał; Drożdżyk, Agata; Szelengiewicz, Klaudia
Introduction. The glycocalyx is a gel-like layer covering the membrane of many cells, especially cells of epithelial tissue. It consists of membrane-bound proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycan chains, glycoproteins, and adjacent proteins. Glycocalyx is necessary in maintaining the permeability of vessels, modulation of inflammatory responses and interactions between cells. It is also involved in cell adherence, mobility, mechanotransduction, regulation of the cell cycle and cell. Abnormalities in the structure and function of the glycocalyx underlie many diseases and disorders such as dry eyes disease, diabetes and its complications as well as sepsis. Aim. In this review, we present the current view on the role of glycocalyx in human diseases. Material and methods. This review was performed according to latest literature from the following databases: EBSCO, PubMed, Science Direct, and Springer Link. Analysis of the literature. Pathological mechanisms such as disruption of the glycocalyx barrier and decreased hydration of the ocular epithelial surface cause dry eye disease. During hyperglycaemia, glycocalyx dysfunction occurs, which leads to its dysfunction and activation of the prothrombotic system. Moreover, the increase in the concentration of hyaluronidase leads to increase in the plasma hyaluronan levels and promotion of endothelial dysfunction. Additionally, degradation of glycocalyx in sepsis prevails over increased synthesis of its components strongly favors its enhanced enzymatic degradation. Conclusion. A better understanding of glycocalyx impairment in disease could alter therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes.
