PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: Vascularised bone grafting (VBG) and non-vascularised bone grafting (NVBG) are crucial biological reconstructive procedures extensively employed in the management of bone tumours. The principal aim of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the post-resection outcomes associated with the utilisation of vascularised and non-vascularised bone grafts. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A comprehensive and systematic literature review spanning the years 2013 to 2023 was meticulously executed, utilising prominent online databases including PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library. Inclusion criteria were restricted to comparative articles that specifically addressed outcomes pertaining to defect restoration following bone tumour resection via vascularised and non-vascularised bone grafting techniques. The quality of research methodologies was assessed using the Oxford Quality Scoring System for randomised trials and the Newcastle Ottawa Scale for non-randomised comparative studies. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 24. Key outcome measures encompassed the Musculoskeletal Tumour Society Score (MSTS), bone union duration, and the incidence of post-operative complications. RESULTS: This analysis incorporated four clinical publications, enrolling a total of 178 participants (comprising 92 males and 86 females), with 90 patients subjected to VBG and 88 to NVBG procedures. The primary endpoints of interest encompassed MSTS scores and bone union durations. Although no statistically significant distinction was observed in the complication rates between the two cohorts, it is noteworthy that VBG exhibited a markedly superior bone union rate (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Our systematic evaluation revealed that VBG facilitates expedited bone union, thereby contributing to accelerated patient recovery. Notably, complication rates and functional outcomes were comparable between the VBG and NVBG groups. Moreover, the correlation between bone union duration and functional scores following VBG and NVBG merits further investigation. KEY WORDS: reconstruction techniques, vascularised bone grafting, non-vascularised bone grafting, bone tumor, resection.

DNA adducts are markers of carcinogen exposure and of their biological effect; they have been shown to be related to mutagenesis, and therefore they could be a predictive biomarker of human cancer. The objective of this study was to assess if there is a relationship between vitamins A, C, and E, which are known to play a significant role as free radical scavengers and antioxidant agents, and biomarkers of genotoxicity and oxidative stress. Three hundred and fifty-six subjects from Czech Republic, Slovak Republic and Bulgaria, who completed a questionnaire on dietary information and had a measurement of plasma A, C, E vitamins, DNA adduct levels (benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and bulky (DNA-Tot) DNA adducts) and oxidative damage (cyclic pyrimidopurinone N-1,N2 malondialdehyde-2 deoxyguanosine (M1dG) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2_deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG)) were analyzed. A significant inverse correlation was observed between plasma vitamin levels and both benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and bulky DNA adducts. Vitamin A was also significantly inversely correlated with M1dG, a marker of oxidative damage. The associations were stronger in non-smokers than in smokers. Dietary intake of certain antioxidants such as vitamins is associated with reduced levels of markers of DNA damage (B[a]P and DNA-Tot) and oxidation (M1dG and 8-oxodG) measured in peripheral white blood cells. This could contribute to the protective role of such a dietary pattern on cancer risk. The protective effect of dietary vitamins is less evident in smokers.

Východisko. Problematika rozlišení genotypů matky a plodu v maternální plazmě těhotných žen je v současnosti řešena většinou pomocí real-time systémů. V těchto případech je rozpoznání genotypů možné použitím specifických sond, rozlišující jednotlivé genotypy. Nejčastější možnost se nabízí u gonozomálních sekvencí, kdy plod je mužského pohlaví. Tato práce popisuje možnosti detekce a kvantifikace fetální DNA pomocí analýzy STR lokusů. Metody a výsledky. K testování kvantifikačních možností kapilární elektroforézy (KE) byly použity arteficiální směsi genotypů v rozsahu 0,2 % - 100 %, které imitují genotyp matky a plodu. K detekci fetální DNA v maternální plazmě bylo použito 27 vzorků DNA těhotných žen v různém týdnu gravidity (t.g.). Genotyp plodu byl potvrzován genotypizací biologického otce. Detekce byla prováděna v STR lokusech z 21. chromozómu z oblasti zodpovědné za Downův syndrom (DS) metodikou inovované (I)QF PCR, která umožňuje zachytit a kvantifikovat i velmi vzácné mozaiky. Kvantifikace STR lokusů na KE byla posouzena na arteficiálních mozaikách a rozlišitelnost jednotlivých mozaik byla na úrovni několika procent. Fetální DNA byla detekována u 74 % testovaných vzorků. Závěry. Využití IQF PCR ke kvantifikaci a rozlišení maternálního a fetálního genotypu pomocí STR lokusů by mohlo mít význam v neinvazivní prenatální diagnostice jako další možný marker pro výpočet rizika DS.
Background. Problems of maternal and foetal genotype differentiation of maternal plasma in pregnant women are solved generally by real-time systems. In this case the specific probes are used to distinguish particular genotype. Mostly gonosomal sequences are utilised to recognise the male foetus. This work describes possibilities in free foetal DNA detection and quantification by STR. Methods and Results. Artificial genotype mixtures ranging from 0,2 % to 100 % to simulate maternal and paternal genotypes and 27 DNA samples from pregnant women in different stage of pregnancy were used for DNA quantification and detection. Foetal genotype was confirmed by biological father genotyping. The detection was performed in STR from 21st chromosome Down syndrome (DS) responsible region by innovated (I) QF PCR which allows to reveal and quantify even very rare DNA mosaics. The STR quantification was assessed in artificial mixtures of genotypes and discriminability of particular genotypes was on the level of few percent. Foetal DNA was detected in 74 % of tested samples. Conclusions. The IQF PCR application in quantification and differentiation between maternal and foetal genotypes by STR loci could have importance in non-invasive prenatal diagnostics as another possible marker for DS risk assessment.
