    Abstract The main aims of the present study were to explore the relationship of the OPRM1 gene rs1074287 polymorphism in alcohol-dependent women with their personality traits and to try to find out whether any specific features may influence alcohol cravings and be a prognostic for alcohol dependency and treatment in AUD women. Our study found a notable correlation between openness and the interaction of the ORIM1 gene and AUD. The alcohol use disorder subjects with genotype AG showed a higher level of openness compared to the control group with genotypes AG (

    Abstract We present a case of a child who was transported to the Neurosurgery Clinic from another hospital for the purpose of performing a surgical procedure of the spinal myelomeningocele. On the first day of the stay, a set of tests was performed, including an anterior-posterior (AP) projection X-ray, which clearly showed a developmental defect in the lumbar-sacral section of the spine. In the follow-up physical examination, there was a depression of the skin on the right side of the surgical scar after closing the open myelomeningocele. In the follow-up MRI of the lumbar-sacral section, an extremely rare congenital anterior dislocation of the sacrococcygeal bone was unexpectedly visualized. Despite recommendations for further diagnostics, the patient did not attend the required follow-up examinations. In the final section, we provide a general summary of the literature on rare developmental defects of the spine in children.

    Abstract Substance addiction is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by a recurring desire to continue using a substance despite harmful consequences. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein that plays a role in the activity-dependent remodeling of neural function in adult nervous systems. This study analyzed the association of the rs6265 polymorphism of the BDNF gene in a group of patients addicted to psychoactive substances who were participating in addiction treatment for the first time, in a group of post-relapse psychoactive substance abusers and in a control group. The study also assessed personality and anxiety in all study groups. Statistically significant differences in the frequency of genotypes and alleles were found between all study groups. Compared to the control, both study groups had statistically significantly higher scores for trait and state anxiety. Addicted patients in both groups also had higher scores on the Neuroticism and Openness scales and lower scores on the Extraversion and Agreeableness scales. The results of this study provide further evidence that personality traits, anxiety and the rs6265 polymorphism of the BDNF gene may be risk factors for susceptibility to addiction to psychoactive substances. In addition, they can be a predictor of addiction relapse, but further extensive studies are required to confirm these findings.

    Abstract Liver diseases that lead to its failure are one of the most frequent causes of death worldwide. Taking into account liver’s complexity, there are no drug for acute or acute on chronic liver failure treatment. So far the only effective therapy is the liver transplantation. Unfortunately donor shortage is a main problem of this therapy. Due to this fact scientists have been looking for a new alternatives. The most promising are cell transplantation and bioartificial support systems. Without doubt hepatocytes are the best source of cells to use. But isolated human hepatocytes dedifferentiate very quickly and lose their functions ex vivo. Therefore, the new sources of cells, which could replace hepatocytes, are highly sought after. It is believed that, in order to help patients suffering from liver disease, the approach to solve this problem should be considered on different levels.

    Abstract Probiotics are recommended, among others, in the diet of children who are under antibiotic therapy, or that suffer from food allergies or travel diarrhea, etc. In the case of toddlers taking probiotic preparations, it is highly recommended to first remove the special capsule, which normally protects probiotic strains against hard conditions in the gastrointestinal tract. Otherwise, the toddler may choke. This removal can impair probiotic survival and reduce its efficacy in a toddler's organism. The aim of this study was to evaluate the survivability of five strains of lactic acid bacteria from the commercial probiotics available on the Polish market under simulated conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. Five probiotics (each including one of these strains:

    Abstract Drug addiction is a chronic biochemical drug use disorder that affects the human brain and behavior and leads to the uncontrolled use of legal or illicit drugs. It has been shown that three factors are involved in the development of addiction: genetic factors, a diverse environment, and the effect of medication on gene expression. The comprehensive approach and holistic analysis of the problem are due to the multigenic and multifactorial nature of addiction. Dopamine, one of the major neurotransmitters in the brain, is believed to be the "culprit" that leads to a drug abuse-induced "high". That is why, in our research, we focused mainly on the genes related to dopaminergic reuptake. In the present study, we chose methylation of the

    Abstract Gambling Disorder (GD) is characterised by a harmful, enduring, and recurrent involvement in betting-related behaviours. Therefore, GD shares similar biological mechanisms and symptoms to substance use disorders (SUD). Therefore, in this study, we chose the behavioural addictions group. During the examination and recruitment to the study, it turned out that all the people undergoing treatment for gambling addiction were also addicted to amphetamines, which is consistent with the biological mechanism related to cerebral neurotransmission. The aim of the study was to investigate the association of the
