    Abstract This paper reports the data obtained from electrospray mass spectra of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) recorded at different concentrations of electrolytes in the positive and negative ion mode, for five different times of acquisition. Using the Excel program, we show the changes in intensities of the peak assigned to a given cluster ion with increasing acquisition time and increasing salt concentration. Moreover, for DS monomers and dimers the correlations were found between the relative peak intensities, PMₑ/Nₐ, and concentration ratios, [Me]/[DS] ([Me] and [DS] are concentrations of metal and dodecyl sulfate ions, respectively). The PMₑ/Nₐ values are numerical measures of the competition between metal, Me, and sodium, Na, cations in their binding with DS monomers and dimers. Generally, the data presented herein may be used to predict the type of cluster ions formed in a given mixture of an anionic surfactant with a divalent metal salt and a possible correlation between the peak height of a given cluster ion and the electrolyte concentration and acquisition time. For a broad discussion of the dataset obtained for [Me]/[DS] = 1, please refer to the research article “Interactions of divalent metal cations with headgroups of monomers, dimers, and trimers of anionic surfactant” (Jakubowska, 2021).

    Abstract Background: Internet addiction disorder (IAD) is characterized by an excess of uncontrolled preoccupations, urges, or behaviors related to computer use and Internet access that culminate in negative outcomes or individual distress. PIU includes excessive online activities (such as video gaming, social media use, streaming, pornography viewing, and shopping). The aim of this study was to analyze the association of gene polymorphisms that may influence the severity of risky behaviors in young men with the frequency of Internet use. We speculate that there are individual differences in the mechanisms of Internet addiction and that gene-hormone associations may represent useful biomarkers for subgroups of individuals.
    Materials and methods: The study was conducted in a sample of 407 adult males. Subjects were asked to complete the Problematic Internet Use Test (PIUT). Serum was analyzed to determine concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone (TT), sex hormone binding protein (SHBG), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), estradiol (E2), prolactin (PRL), insulin (I), serotonin (5-HT), and dopamine (DA), as well as DRD2, ANKK1, and NTRK3 gene polymorphisms.
    Results: In the analysis of the ANKK1 gene, there was a specific association between ANKK1 polymorphisms and PRL and 5-HT blood concentrations. There was also an association between the ANKK1 polymorphisms and LH and DA concentrations. When analyzing the DRD2 gene polymorphism, we found that in the group with a moderate level of Internet dependence, there was an association between both the G/GG and GG/GG polymorphisms and FSH concentration.
    Conclusions: Our study found that there may be an association between the NTRK3 gene polymorphism and PIU. The polymorphisms of ANKK1 and DRD2 genes may be factors that influence the concentrations of hormones (PRL, 5-HT, DA) that are associated with the results obtained in PIU.

    Abstract Specific ion effects in solution are related to the hydrated ion size and ion hydration, electrostatic interactions, dispersion forces, ion effects on water structure, and ion modification of surface tension. In this study, we tried to identify which factor determines the ion specificity observed. The preference and energy of metal cations binding with the headgroups of dodecylsulfate (DS) monomers and dimers were determined by mass spectrometry. In the gas phase, cation binding to DS dimer headgroups depends strongly on the cation radius. On the other hand, the interactions between DS monomer headgroups and chaotropic ions depend on the cation polarizability, and the binding of kosmotropic cations to DS monomer headgroups strongly depends on the Gibbs free energies of ion hydration. DS dimers are related to surfactants having doubly charged headgroups, and DS monomers are related to surfactants with singly charged headgroups. Our spectrometric study of the strength of counterion binding to free monomers of a surfactant provides insight into surfactant-counterion interactions at micellar interfaces in bulk solution.

    Abstract Background: Treatment with cyclosporine A (CsA), a calcineurin inhibitor, is effective in children with difficult idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS). Prolonged CsA treatment can result in several adverse effects, the most significant being nephrotoxicity (CsAN). The plasma and urine levels of the proteins annexin V (AnV) and uromodulin (UM) were investigated in order to assess their usefulness as indicators of early-stage CsAN. Uromodulin is considered a distal tubular damage marker. Annnexin V is present in the distal tubules.
    Objectives: To measure AnV in children with INS receiving CsA treatment and to assess the usefulness of this biomarker for monitoring CsAN and as an indicator of changes in the distal tubules of the nephron.
    Material and methods: The prospective study included 30 patients with INS and 22 controls. Plasma and urinary AnV levels were measured 3 times: before CsA treatment, and after 6 and 12 months of therapy. The AnV levels were compared to those of UM.
    Results: The urinary AnV and UM levels were significantly higher in the INS patients before CsA therapy in comparison to the reference group. A progressive increase of urinary AnV was observed after 6 and 12 months of therapy. Urinary UM only increased after 6 months. No significant correlations were found between plasma and urinary concentrations of the proteins studied.
    Conclusions: The increased urinary excretion of AnV in children with INS receiving CsA treatment may suggest its usefulness as an early marker of subclinical CsAN. Annexin V seems to be a more sensitive indicator of tubular damage in the course of CsA therapy than UM, though large, multicenter studies are needed.

    Abstract Background: Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD) results from mutations in various genes, including REN, UMOD, MUC1, and HNF1B. ADTKD due to REN mutations (ADTKD-REN) is often characterized as a proteinopathy that triggers the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) cascade, potentially sharing similarities with ADTKD-UMOD and ADTKD-MUC1 at the cellular level. This study, inspired by a patient harboring a W17R mutation, investigates ERS activation by this mutation alongside two other renin variants, W10R and L381P.
    Methods: We established stable cell lines expressing both wild-type and mutated renin forms (W17R, W10R, and L381P). Using luciferase reporter assays, RT-qPCR, and confocal microscopy, we evaluated ERS activation, determined the cellular localization of the renin variants, and characterized the mitochondrial network in the W17R line.
    Results: The L381P line exhibited ERS activation, including transcriptional upregulation of MANF and CRELD2. No ERS activation was observed in the W17R line, while the W10R line exhibited intermediate characteristics. Notably, the W17R variant was misrouted to the mitochondria resulting in changes of the mitochondrial network organisation.
    Conclusions: ERS activation is not a universal response to different renin mutations in ADTKD-REN. The pathogenesis of the W17R mutation may involve mitochondrial dysfunction rather than the ER pathway, albeit further research is needed to substantiate this hypothesis fully. Testing CRELD2 and MANF as targeted therapy markers for a specific subgroup of ADTKD-REN patients is recommended. Additionally, fludrocortisone treatment has shown efficacy in stabilizing the renal function of our patient over a four-year period without significant side effects.

    Abstract The aim of the study was exploration of the properties of wool derived from sheep reared in Poland. Twenty-nine breeds of sheep diverse from the type of farming, e.g. for meat, dual-purpose breeds for wool-milk, and versatile wool are bred in Poland, but only few of them have uniform wool. Because there is a lack of data determining quality and quantity of Polish wool, the wool-based textile industry in Poland uses mainly imported raw material. Wool quality has an impact on processing efficiency and determines possibility of its further use. In order to assess the wool quality from the local sheep breeds (Polish Merino, Olkuska, Żelaźnieńska, Polish Lowland Sheep), fiber parameters were evaluated: average fiber diameter, length, curvature, and comfort factor. The wool was subjected to microscopic analysis and color examination. Results of the study showed that wool from the above-mentioned sheep breeds varies greatly in terms of quality. The obtained data helps fill the information gap on Polish wool.

    Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of carotid artery calcifications (CACs) on panoramic radiographs of Polish dental patients.
    Methods: Panoramic radiographs made between 2005 and 2012 in 4000 patients born between 1922 and 1958 were accessed from the server of the Department of Radiology and analyzed for the presence or absence of CACs by a group of trained dentists.
    Results: The anatomical area covered by the analysis was visible in 2189 images (54.73%). Calcifications in the carotid arteries were found in 468 (21.68%) patients, including 327 (14.94%) unilaterally and 141 (6.44%) bilaterally. CACs were found in 284 (60.68%) women and 184 (39.32%) men.
    Conclusions: The prevalence rate of CACs detected on panoramic radiographs in patients aged 54 and older was 21.68%, which makes it an important clinical problem.
