    Abstract Swedish crime novel has been transforming for many years to become more socially involved. The ambition of many writers is not only to entertain the readers but also to participating in the social debate, criticizing the political and economical system, focusing on important issues such as violence against women, exploitation of working class by the privileged ruling class, the problems of a modern family and the situation of immigrants. Since the moment when in the mid 60’s two journalists Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö decided to use popular literature to spread social matters many other Swedish writers have decided to follow their way. Some of them are journalists – like Liza Marklund, Börge Hellström and Anders Roslund or Stieg Larsson. Their novels as well as the ones written by Henning Mannkel on Kurt Wallander have become crucial evidence of changes of Swedish society in the past twenty years. Modern Swedish crime fiction illustrates the population in the model fashion that is the reason why it can become one of the interests of the sociology of literature.

    Abstract This review summarizes current knowledge of adenosine analogues and conjugates with promising therapeutic properties. Adenosine is a signaling molecule that triggers numerous physiological responses. It acts through the adenosine receptors (ARs), belonging to the family of G-protein-coupled receptors and widely distributed throughout the body. Moreover, adenosine is involved in key biochemical processes as a part of ATP, the universal energy currency. Thus, compounds that are analogues of adenosine and its conjugates have been extensively studied as potential therapeutics. Many inhibitors of ARs are in clinical trials as promising agents in treatment of inflammation, type 2 diabetes, arrhythmia and as vasodilators used in the myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) stress test. Furthermore, adenosine analogues revealed high efficacy as enzyme inhibitors, tested for antitrypanosomal action and as bivalent ligands and adenosine-oligoarginine conjugates as inhibitors of protein kinases.

    Abstract We synthesized a series of MDP(D,D) and nor-MDP(D,D) derivatives conjugated with adenosine through a spacer as potential immunosuppressants. New conjugates 8a-k were evaluated on two leukemia cell lines (Jurkat and L1210) and PBMC from healthy donors. The conjugates 8a-k and MDP(D,D)/nor-MDP(D,D) derivatives 7e, f, i, j were active against L1210 cell line. Unconjugated nor-MDP(D,D) had better antiproliferative properties, but the conjugates 8b, f, g had the highest values of selectivity index. Both cell lines as well as PBMC were resistant to analogs 11a, b with the 6-aminohexanoic linker.

    Title translation Adenosine, its analogues and conjugates.
    Abstract Adenosine is an endogenous purine nucleoside that plays an important role in many biochemical processes. It acts through the four types of adenosine receptors: A1, A2A, A2B, A3 which are located i.a. in the immune, nervous, circulatory, respiratory or urinary system. Adenosine is used as an antiarrhythmic agent in the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. However, due to a very short blood half-time other clinical applications are limited. In order to overcome this obstacle many analogues and conjugates of adenosine with better pharmacokinetic properties have been synthesized. Some of them have been successfully registered as drugs, but there is still a big number of adenosine analogues in clinical trials or preclinical studies. Synthesized compounds demonstrate not only antiarrhytmic, antinociceptive, antidibetic, antiphlogistic or antiviral actions but also influence the course of immune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, nephritis, uveitis or endotoxin shock. This article is focused on novel adenosine analogues and conjugates with potential biological properties.

    Abstract BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the clinical course and distinctive features of different white dot syndromes (WDS) in patients attending the Ophthalmology Department, Medical University of Warsaw in the years 1995-2015. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-two (62) patients (43 females and 19 males), aged 18 to 77 years, referred with a WDS were included in this prospective study, with observation period ranging from 5 months to 16 years. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmological examination and multimodal imaging studies. RESULTS In this cohort of 62 patients, the following WDS entities were identified: multifocal choroiditis with panuveitis (MFCPU), multifocal choroiditis (MFC), punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC), birdshot, acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE), subretinal fibrosis and uveitis, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS), serpiginous choroiditis, and single cases of acute annular outer retinopathy (AAOR). CONCLUSIONS The study was performed at a Polish referral center and may to some extent reflect the varied geographical distribution of white dot syndromes, as none of the subjects was found to suffer from acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR), acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN), or diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN). Long-term follow-up is warranted by the evolution of lesions in the eye fundus, while management depends on correct diagnosis of WDS. When the posterior pole is involved in some cases of the WDS an immunosuppressive treatment, the use of the PDT or anti-VEGF injections were necessary.

    Abstract The course of reaction of aryl and heteroaryl sulfonamides with diphenylcarbonate (DPC) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) was found to depend on the pKa of the sulfonamide used. Aryl sulfonamides with pKa approximately 10 gave 4-dimethylamino-pyridinium arylsulfonyl-carbamoylides, while the more acidic heteroaryl sulfonamides (pKa approximately 8) furnished 4-dimethylaminopyridinium heteroarylsulfonyl carbamates. Both the carbamoylides and carbamate salts reacted with aliphatic and aromatic amines with the formation of appropriate aryl(heteroaryl)sulfonyl ureas, and therefore, can be regarded as safe and stable substitutes of the hazardous and difficult to handle aryl(heteroaryl)sulfonyl isocyanates.

    Abstract Pregnancy complicated by HCL is an extremlely rare event: only 5 report of HCL in pregnancy have been previously described. A 36-year-old women was diagnosed of HCL presented in 14 week of her 5th pregnancy. Therapy was initiated in 18 wk of gestation with IFN-alpha at dose 6 x 106 U subcutaneous 3 times per week and prednisone 20 mg/d. IFN-alpha administration was well tolerated. After IFN-alpha therapy partial remission was achieved. The course of the pregnancy was normal. At week 39 of gestation a cesarean cection was performed and the patient delivered a healthy male infant weighing 3460 g with Apgar score of 10. The placenta was of normal size, no infiltration of hairy cell was founded. Post-partum course was uncomplicated. The patient elected to not breast feed her infant. 3 weeks after delivery patient had a 5-days course of 2CDA
