    Abstract This study aimed at obtaining hesperidin (Hed) and hesperetin (Het) systems with HP-β-CD by means of the solvent evaporation method. The produced systems were identified using infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Moreover, in silico docking and molecular dynamics studies were performed to assess the most preferable site of interactions between tested compounds and HP-β-CD. The changes of physicochemical properties (solubility, dissolution rate, and permeability) were determined chromatographically. The impact of modification on biological activity was tested in an antioxidant study as well as with regards to inhibition of enzymes important in pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. The results indicated improvement in solubility over 1000 and 2000 times for Hed and Het, respectively. Permeability studies revealed that Hed has difficulties in crossing biological membranes, in contrast with Het, which can be considered to be well absorbed. The improved physicochemical properties influenced the biological activity in a positive manner by the increase in inhibitory activity on the DPPH radical and cholinoesterases. To conclude the use of HP-β-CD as a carrier in the formation of an amorphous inclusion complex seems to be a promising approach to improve the biological activity and bioavailability of Hed and Het.

    Abstract Introduction: Despite the recent advances in otosurgery diagnosis of cholesteatoma and qualification for surgery remains an issue in contemporary laryngology. In cases of cholesteatoma recidivism, it is of utmost importance to properly locate the pathology in the middle ear to plan surgical approach. Magnetic Resonance imaging in diffusion-weighted non-echoplanar sequences (non-EPI DWI) enables cholesteatoma detection as small as 2 mm and could potentially prevent unnecessary second-look surgery. Computed Tomography of the temporal bone allows precise visualization of bony structures and topographical landmarks of the middle ear. A fusion of both imaging modalities combines the advantages of these techniques.
    Material and methods: Five patients treated in the Department of Otolaryngology, the Medical University of Lodz for probable cholesteatoma recidivism were included in this study. A high-resolution CT scan of the temporal bone and an MRI scan including non-EPI sequences was obtained in all patients. A fusion of CT and MRI studies was conducted using OsirixMD software. Fist, CT studies were fused with MRI BFFE sequences, then non-EPI sequences were added. Finally, if the patient qualified for surgical treatment histopathological diagnosis was compared with MRI results.
    Results: CT scans were analyzed to establish the extent of previous surgical interventions and anatomical landmarks preservation. In all cases, MRI results were suspicious of cholesteatoma recidivism. Four cases were confirmed in postoperative histopathological evaluation, there was one false positive case when intraoperatively scar tissue was identified, which was later confirmed as connective tissue upon histopathological evaluation.
    Conclusions: CT and MRI fusion provides a helpful diagnostic tool in preparation for surgery in patients with suspected cholesteatoma recidivism.

    Abstract The effect of male aging on fertility potential is controversial and difficult to predict. The aim of our study was to determine the associations between age, basic semen parameters, and sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF). Comparison of four age-dependent groups (men ≤29 years, 30-35 years, 36-40 years, and >40 years) revealed a significant fall in the basic semen characteristics and sperm genomic integrity with age. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis confirmed that men >29 years had lower semen quality. In the group of men >29 years, the prevalence of men with abnormal semen parameters was higher, and these men had over a threefold higher odds ratio (OR) for abnormal semen parameters. Next, ROC analysis revealed that a threshold of 18% SDF was optimal for discriminating between men with normal and abnormal standard semen parameters. The prevalence of men with >18% SDF was higher in the group of men >29 years than in men ≤29 years. Older men had an almost twofold higher risk for >18% SDF than younger men. Our results suggest that age >29 years may be a causative factor of detrimental changes in semen quality, which may raise the risk for disorders of male fertility potential.

    Title translation Effectiveness of vestibular rehabilitation in patients with vestibular dysfunction.
    Abstract Background: Vertigo and instability due to vestibular dysfunction have been a frequent cause of work absence, with a clearly upward tendency observed in recent years. Uncompensated vestibular hypofunction requires vestibular rehabilitation, but access to this form of treatment remains limited. Therefore, innovative methods of rehabilitation utilizing new technologies, which could promote this therapy, are searched for. Virtual reality (VR) is becoming a popular method of rehabilitation used, for example, in the treatment of stroke or schizophrenia. The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate 2 methods of vestibular rehabilitation in patients with unilateral vestibular disorders.
    Material and methods: Forty-three patients with unilateral vestibular disorders diagnosed at the Balance Disorders Unit, 1st Otolaryngology Department of the Medical University of Lodz, were included in this study. The patients, divided into 2 groups, received 10 sessions of rehabilitation. Group 1 (N = 22) was rehabilitated using a VR unit consisting of a forceplate and a motion sensor, while Group 2 (N = 21) performed training on a static posturography platform under physiotherapist supervision. The patients were examined at the baseline, 1 month and 3 months after rehabilitation. During each assessment, posturography was performed which recorded the center of pressure (CoP) displacement. The patients also filled out a questionnaire to quantify vertigo symptoms.
    Results: The CoP parameters decreased in both groups, with no superiority of either form of training. Analysis of the subjective symptoms reduction revealed a decrease in the Vertigo Syndrome Scale - short form (VSS-sf) score in the second evaluation in both groups, which was slightly greater in the VR group. The improvement remained stable 3 months after rehabilitation.
    Conclusions: Both forms of rehabilitation are effective in increasing postural stability and reducing subjective symptoms. Virtual reality training achieves a slightly greater subjective improvement. Med Pr. 2019;70(5):545-53.
