Zrychlení hojení rány je jednou z cest, jak dosáhnout uzavření tkáňového defektu. Akceleraci hojení lze použít jak u akutních, tak chronických ran. Cílem článku je upozornit na to, že existují nové způsoby, jak urychlit zhojení rány. Své dosavadní zkušenosti autoři doplňují prezentací kazuistiky.
The acceleration of wound healing is one of the methods for closing a tissue defect. The acceleration of wound healing may be used both in acute an in chronic wounds. The paper is aimed at informing about the presence of new methods for the acceleration of wound healing. The authors supplement their up-to-date experience with a case history presentation.

A soil naturally containing montmorillonite (M) was amended with 10% M and sequentially perfused with glyeme, with fresh glyeme being added every 16--17d after nitrification of the previously added glycine-nitrogen had reached a plateau. In some systems, the old perfusates were replaced each time with a fresh glycine solution; in others, the initial perfusate was not replaced but only adjusted each time to the original 200 ml volume and a comparable glycine concentration (140 micrograms NH2-N/ml). The incorporation of M enhanced the rates of heterotrophic degradation of glycine and subsequent autotrophic nitrification, but these stimulatory effects decreased with each successive perfusion. The reasons for these decreases are not known, but they did not appear to be related to inorganic nutrition, as perfusion with a mixed cation solution after five perfusion cycles did not significantly enhance nitrification in either the check or M-amended soils during three subsequent perfusions with glycine. The enhancement of nitrification by M appeared to be a result, in part, of the greater buffering capacity of the M-amended soil, as indicated by lesser reductions in the pH of perfusates from the M-amended soil, by titration curves of the soils, and by the greater and longer stimulation of nitrification in the check soil amended with 1% CaCO3, which had a greater buffering capacity than did M. The stimulation by CaCO3 may also have been partially the result of providing CO2 for the autotrophic nitrifyers. Significant concentrations of nitrite accumulated only in perfusates from soil amended with CaCO3. Air-drying and remoistening the soils enhanced nitrification of subsequently added glycine, especially in the check soil. The importance of pH-mediation, of the production of inhibitors, and/or of feed-back inhibition was indicated by the lower rate and extent of nitrification in systems wherein the perfusates were not replaced between successive additions of glycine. Although the results of these studies confirmed previous observations that M enhances the rate of nitrification in soil, the mechanisms responsible for this stimulation are still not known.

Speech rhythm abnormalities are commonly present in patients with different neurodegenerative disorders. These alterations are hypothesized to be a consequence of disruption to the basal ganglia circuitry involving dysfunction of motor planning, programing, and execution, which can be detected by a syllable repetition paradigm. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to design a robust signal processing technique that allows the automatic detection of spectrally distinctive nuclei of syllable vocalizations and to determine speech features that represent rhythm instability (RI) and rhythm acceleration (RA). A further aim was to elucidate specific patterns of dysrhythmia across various neurodegenerative disorders that share disruption of basal ganglia function. Speech samples based on repetition of the syllable /pa/ at a self-determined steady pace were acquired from 109 subjects, including 22 with Parkinson's disease (PD), 11 progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), 9 multiple system atrophy (MSA), 24 ephedrone-induced parkinsonism (EP), 20 Huntington's disease (HD), and 23 healthy controls. Subsequently, an algorithm for the automatic detection of syllables as well as features representing RI and RA were designed. The proposed detection algorithm was able to correctly identify syllables and remove erroneous detections due to excessive inspiration and non-speech sounds with a very high accuracy of 99.6%. Instability of vocal pace performance was observed in PSP, MSA, EP, and HD groups. Significantly increased pace acceleration was observed only in the PD group. Although not significant, a tendency for pace acceleration was observed also in the PSP and MSA groups. Our findings underline the crucial role of the basal ganglia in the execution and maintenance of automatic speech motor sequences. We envisage the current approach to become the first step toward the development of acoustic technologies allowing automated assessment of rhythm in dysarthrias.
