    Abstract Photodynamic therapy is a high-target, low-invasive treatment utilized to manage a variety of malignant diseases and precancerous lesions. Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is one of the most important photosensitizers used in photodynamic therapy, carried to the cancer tissue by serum albumin. Its delivery by transport protein is one of the major factors in determining the efficacy of photodynamic therapy. The distribution of the albumin-PpIX complexes to the target tissue enables the accomplishment of an optimal PDT effect. This study aimed to assess in vitro the stability of spectrofluorimetric spectra of albumin-PpIX complexes. The experiment used three chemicals: PpIX, human serum albumin (HSA), and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Spectral data was recorded using a Kontron SFM-25 Instrument AG, at two excitation wavelengths λ

    Abstract Abrikossoff's tumor (AT) is a rare, predominantly benign, asymptomatic, solitary, less than three cm-in-size tumor with usually favorable prognosis after surgical excision. Most of the tumors are found in the head and neck location in the third to fifth decade of life. Local wide excision, which is a treatment of choice, is curative in most of the cases.The case of 34-year-old female patient the authors report herein is the first described AT located in scar tissue after caesarean section. Physical and ultrasound examinations revealed a well-circumscribed, two-cm-in-size mass located in the fascia level. With a preoperative suspicion of endometrial tumor, the patient underwent surgery. Tumor was excised with wide tissue margin. Postoperative pathologic analysis revealed the presence of granular cell myoblastoma and was essential giving definitive diagnosis.

    Abstract Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is one of the most common emergencies. Risk stratification is essential in patients with this potentially life-threatening condition. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the usefulness of the admission venous lactate level in predicting clinical outcomes in patients with UGIB. All consecutive adult patients hospitalized due to UGIB were included in the study. The clinical data included the demographic characteristics of the observed population, etiology of UGIB, need for surgical intervention and intensive care, bleeding recurrence, and mortality rates. Venous lactate was measured in all patients on admission. Logistic regression analyses were used to calculate the odds ratios (OR) of lactate levels for all outcomes. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the accuracy of lactate levels in measuring clinical outcomes, while Youden index was used to calculate the best cut-off points. A total of 221 patients were included in the study (151M; 70F). There were 24 cases of UGIB recurrence (10.8%), 19 patients (8.6%) required surgery, and 37 individuals (16.7%) required intensive care. Mortality rate was 11.3% (25 cases). The logistic regression analysis showed statistically significant association between admission venous lactate and all clinical outcomes: mortality (OR = 1.39, 95%CI: 1.22-1.58,

    Abstract Title of the paper: Analyze of effect selected indices on litter size of minks in relation to colour variety (short communication) The studies were carried out in 2003–2004 on a farm located in West Pomerania, Poland, with an annual production output exceeding 75,000 pelts. The breeding stock comprised 25,000 females and 4,000 males, managed in genetic groups comprising 40 females related to each other and 8 males related to each other, For the experiments, we selected at random 1769 females in 7 colour varieties: Black Cross, Buff Sapphire, Perl, Sapphire, Sprinkler, Scan Black, and Scan Brown. The following reproduction indices were analysed: litter size at birth and at weaning, litter size in relation to number of services and birth date. Moreover, all the indices were estimated in relation to the year of the female's reproduction management. The Buff Sapphire proved to be the most fertile variety, and produced 7.6 born and 7.3 weaned offspring. This result was tested statistically and the differences were highly significant compared to the Sapphire, Sprinkler, and Black Cross, which yielded 6.4–6.5 born and 5.9–6.3 weaned offspring. In the second year of reproduction management, all the varieties but Sapphire exhibited increased number of litters. The date of birth significantly affected litter size; the largest litters were obtained in the 16th week of year.

    Abstract Introduction: The vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) and the Breast Lesion Excision System (BLES) are minimally invasive biopsy techniques, both used as diagnostic and therapeutic tools. The aim of the study is to compare these two methods and assess them in the context of discomfort, early and late complications and their diagnostic and therapeutic potential.
    Material and methods: The study involved 173 patients who underwent a VAB or a BLES breast biopsy in the period between 2009 and 2016. Approximately 3 months after the biopsy, the patients completed a questionnaire in which they assessed the procedure for discomfort associated with the procedure and the final cosmetic outcome. The cosmetic effect of the biopsy was also assessed by a surgeon.
    Results: The BLES and the VAB breast biopsies did not differ in terms of pain, duration, and discomfort of the procedure, breast bruising, breast tenderness about 24 h after the procedure or pain lasting over 3 months after the biopsy. Subsequently, the biopsies were evaluated in terms of the cosmetic effect assessed by the patient and by a surgeon and no differences were observed. There were no significant differences between the VAB and the BLES breast biopsies in the course of the procedure, early and late complications and cosmetic effect.
    Conclusions: Since the BLES breast biopsy makes it possible to evaluate the margins, it is a good alternative to the open breast biopsy.

    Abstract Introduction: In 2012, a total of 56 647 inguinal hernia repairs were performed in Poland. However, the absence of a uniform hernia repair register obscures the current herniology status in Poland, especially regarding laparoendoscopic procedures.
    Aim: To determine the awareness of laparoendoscopic procedures among Polish surgeons and to ascertain their everyday clinical practice.
    Material and methods: The data were collected at the national hernia conference in 2016, during an interactive session for surgeons with a special interest in herniology. They could respond to the survey items using the VoxVote application. All items and response options were displayed on participants' smartphones. The questions were related to transabdominal preperitoneal/totally extraperitoneal (TAPP/TEP) hernia repair. The surgeons responded to 27 questions regarding routine inguinal hernia repair. One hundred and six surgeons from all regions of Poland participated in the survey.
    Results: 19.2% of respondents never inform patients about the possibility of performing laparoendoscopic repair. 45.2% admitted that they had referred a patient with a difficult inguinal hernia to another hospital or surgeon. Seventy-five percent stated they would be willing to perform TAPP/TEP if the reimbursement rates were more favourable. In bilateral hernias, 61.6% of the respondents perform a two-step open repair, while only 25% perform a single-stage laparoendoscopic repair of bilateral hernia. In women, only 13.3% perform laparoendoscopic hernia repairs, and 19.0% do not use mesh.
    Conclusions: The skill level to perform TAPP/TEP repair is still inadequate among Polish surgeons. The absence of accurate data makes it impossible to verify whether the treatment methods used are compliant with the guidelines.

    Abstract In the therapy of an inguinal hernia, there is a huge variety in the way of treating and the choice of surgical technique. Practice shows that the intraoperative improvisation and surgeons' own modifications of the original techniques have become part of routine procedure. No mandatory hernia registration system causes the actual detailed herniology status in our country remains unknown. The aim of the study was to summarize the results of a survey on knowledge of a hernia according to the standards developed by international hernia societies compared with everyday clinical practice. During the International Conference Hernia in Poland, which took place on 10 December 2016 in Zakopane we conducted an interactive session among 106 surgeons dealing with hernias. Surgeons responded to 66 questions about daily surgical practice and decision making in their centers, and 27 questions for the assessment of the world's latest treatment recommendations regarding groin hernias. The most common method of using the implant technique Lichtenstein, used by 91% of doctors. 20% of surgeons in planned operations in adult men routinely uses no mesh technique. Almost 80% of respondents do not apply TEP or TAPP. Only 45.7% of surgeons customize surgical technique to the patient. Only 7 of the 27 analyzed recommendation has been accepted by more than 90% of respondents. 9 of the 27 recommendations were approved by less than half of the surgeons. In the case of 11 recommendations, surgeons simultaneously failed to comply with these recommendations in daily practice. Deficiencies in the system of training and the underfunding of medical procedures cause insufficient TAPP/ TEP availability in Poland in an inguinal hernia. Improvement of the surgeons' knowledge on how to perform surgery.

    Abstract Paget-Schroetter Syndrome is a primary, effort vein thrombosis of the axillo-subclavian level. It occurs predominantly after repetitive sport movements in the dominant limb in young healthy male individuals. Patients refer with pain, swelling and blue discolouration in the affected upper extremity. We present a 33-years-old woman with primary thrombosis of left subclavian vein, with no history of repetitive sport exercises or trauma. The patient’s profession requiring leaning against the desk for hours daily could be a trigger factor for vein thrombosis in presented case. Doppler ultrasonography and venography showed complete occlusion of left subclavian vein. Computed tomography showed no evidence for compression at thoracic outlet level. Patient was successfully treated with anticoagulants and followed for 21 months with repeated duplex ultrasound examinations. The symptoms had resolved. Long time left subclavian vein patency and good quality of life have been achieved.
