Effect of thermomechanical modification of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood on machine sanding efficiency. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of thermomechanical modification of pine wood (Pinus sylvestris L.) on the efficiency of machine sanding. For this purpose, pine wood samples (undensified and densified) were subjected to mechanical sanding. The effect of the modification on the mass loss in the sanding process was investigated and the quality of the obtained surface was examined. Roughness parameters Ra and Rz were used as criteria for the quality of the sanded surface. The study was carried out for three different grit sizes of sanding paper. It was found that the thermomechanical modification of Scots pine wood had a statistically significant effect on the mass loss during sanding and the roughness of the obtained surface. Wood samples subjected to thermomechanical compaction were characterised by lower susceptibility to sanding measured on the basis of weight loss and lower surface roughness.

Wpływ termomechanicznej modyfikacji drewna sosny zwyczajnej (Pinus sylvestris L.) na wydajność szlifowania maszynowego. Celem pracy było zbadanie wpływu termomechanicznej modyfikacji drewna sosnowego (Pinus sylvestris L.) na wydajność szlifowania maszynowego. W tym celu próbki drewna sosny zwyczajnej (natywne oraz zagęszczane) poddano szlifowaniu mechanicznemu. Zbadano wpływ modyfikacji na ubytek masy w procesie szlifowania oraz zbadano jakość uzyskanej powierzchni. Jako kryteria jakości szlifowanej powierzchni przyjęto parametry chropowatości Ra i Rz. Badania przeprowadzono dla trzech różnych ziarnistości papieru szlifierskiego. Stwierdzono, że termomechaniczna modyfikacja drewna sosny zwyczajnej wpływa istotnie statystycznie na ubytek masy podczas szlifowania i chropowatość uzyskanej powierzchni. Próbki drewna poddane zagęszczaniu termomechanicznemu charakteryzowały się mniejszą podatnością na szlifowanie mierzoną na podstawie ubytku masy i niższą chropowatością powierzchni.

The presence of a foreign body in the gastrointestinal tract constitutes a common pathology, considering surgical clinical practice. The management of the ingestion of a foreign body depends on many factors. The study presented a case of a 33-year-old female patient subjected to surgical treatment, due to deliberate swallowing of a balloon. The above-mentioned was the amateur equivalent of intragastric balloon insertion, inducing weight loss. This is a rare cause of a foreign body ingestion, seldomly found in literature data. The patient reported to the Emergency Department on the second day after ingestion with symptoms of mechanical subobstruction, and after initial diagnostics, was qualified for surgery. The postoperative period proved uneventful. The study illustrated the often unfavourable access to false data on the internet, which may stimulate towards the above-mentioned behaviour.

Introduction and aim. Serum ceruloplasmin level may be a biomarker associated with obesity and cardiovascular risk. We aimed to evaluate the effect of body weight lost by diet and exercise program on metabolic parameters and serum ceruloplasmin levels in obese patients. Material and methods. A total of 120 obese patients with BMI ≥30 kg/m2 were enrolled in a 16-week balanced diet program with the goal of losing 10% or more of body weight while maintaining a daily energy deficit of 500-1000 kcal/day. Results. Mean weights of the patients decreased from 93.2±15.1 kg to 83.2±13.1 kg (p<0.001) and mean BMI decreased from 35.8±5.6 kg/m2 to 31.9±4.9 kg/m2 (p<0.001). Mean ceruloplasmin decreased from 25.2±4.7 mg/dL to 23.6±4.9 mg/dL (p<0.001), mean total cholesterol from 191.8±37.1 mg/dL to 153.8±28.7 mg/dL (p<0.001), mean LDL from 120.3±31.4 mg/dL to 91.1±27.7 mg/dL (p<0.001) and mean fasting blood glucose from 108.2±35 mg/dL to 103.3±81.1 mg/dL (p<0.001). There was a statistically significant and weak correlation between the change in ceruloplasmin and the change in BMI (p=0.016, R=0.233). There was a statistically significant and weak correlation between ceruloplasmin change and weight change (p=0.010, R=0.251). Conclusion. Obese patients’ serum ceruloplasmin levels were found to decrease with weight loss.

Serum cystatin C concentration, generally accepted as renal function marker, is associated with cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome. Recent studies indicate that cystatin C increases in human obesity and that adipose tissue contributes to enhanced serum cystatin C concentration in obese subjects.The aim of the study was to assess whether a reduction in body and fat mass after bariatric surgery has any impact on serum cystatin C concentrations.Material and methods. Serum from 27 obese patients were tested before and 6 months after bariatric surgery. Twenty healthy subjects with normal body weight served as controls. Serum cystatin C concentrations were assayed by ELISA.Results. Serum cystatin C concentrations were significantly higher in obese patients compared with non-obese subjects. Decrease of body and fat mass after bariatric surgery resulted in improvement of several parameters associated with cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome, like serum lipids, blood pressure and insulin sensitivity. Surprisingly the mean postoperative serum cystatin C concentration was not significantly different from that before surgery. Serum creatinine and GFR also remained unchanged.Conclusion. The results presented here suggest that serum cystatin C concentration is not tightly associated with body and fat mass loss in obese patients after bariatric surgery.

The corrosion inhibition of aluminium alloy in 0.5M H2SO4 solution in the presence of zinc gluconate at 301 K was investigated using weight loss and an electrochemical method. Surface analysis of the aluminium alloy sample was reviewed by a high resolution scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (HRSEM/ EDS). The readings were taken after 48 h for 28 days while the concentration of the inhibitor was varied from 0.5 to 2.0% g/v with an interval of 0.5. The result of the investigation shows that zinc gluconate has a good corrosion inhibition effect for aluminium alloy in 0.5 molar sulphuric acid solution and its efficiency attains more than 67% at 1.5% g/v concentration of zinc gluconate at 301 K. The potentiodynamic polarization data showed that zinc gluconate acts as a mixed type corrosion inhibitor. The adsorption of zinc gluconate on aluminium alloy has been found to obey Freundlich adsorption isotherm at all the concentration of zinc gluconate studied. The results obtained from different methods are in good agreement.

Enzymatic hydrolysis on synthetic fibers enhances the hydrophilicity and solves the concerns regarding the environmental issues of textile industry. Lipase hydrolyses ester linkages in polyethylene terephthalate and produces polar hydroxyl and carboxylic groups. The study aims to identify and investigate the effect of enzyme treatment on weight loss and surface modification of polyester fabrics. Also the functional groups present before and after treatment and the effect of enzyme treatment on the improvement of dye uptake are studied. The test indicates that enzymatic process creates less surface damage, weight loss and improved moisture regain, dye uptake, and shear properties.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wyników badań rynku suplementów diety wspomagających odchudzanie, występujących w Polsce w 2012 roku. Analizowano 240 produktów, które były dostępne w aptekach, sklepach internetowych i stacjonarnych. Występowały one w różnych formach rynkowych: tabletki, kapsułki, forma sypka, płynna, inne. Najczęściej były to kapsułki i tabletki. W analizowanych produktach wykazano obecność następujących składników bioaktywnych: chromu (28,3 %), ekstraktu zielonej herbaty (24,2 %), L-karnityny (20,4 %) oraz błonnika (18,8 %). Składniki te uznawane są za bezpieczne. Ich zawartość w suplementach nie jest prawnie regulowana, a skuteczność w większości przypadków nie jest poparta wystarczającymi badaniami naukowymi.

Dietary supplements have an effect on human body, affecting seriously its internal reactions. The goal of the paper was an analysis of the dietary supplements supporting weight loss, available on the Polish market in 2012. 240 products available for customers in pharmacies, online shops and stationary stores, declared as dietary supplements for weight loss have been studied. One can find that dietary supplements for weight loss occur in different shapes (tablets, capsules, powdery, fluid, etc.) among which the most popular are capsules and tablets. Several bioactive compounds have been found in analyzed products: chrome (28,3% of analyzed supplements), green tea (24,2%), L-carnitine (20.4%) and dietary fiber (18.8%). These compounds are considered to be safe but their amount in dietary supplements is not regulated by law, and their effectiveness, in most cases, is not supported by scientific research offering the assurance that their actions support weight loss.

Zarażenia pasożytnicze przewodu pokarmowego pozostają ważnym problemem zdrowotnym w skali globalnej. Aktualna sytuacja epidemiologiczna w Polsce nie jest znana, ponieważ większość chorób pasożytniczych, w tym wszystkie robaczyce, nie podlega obowiązkowi raportowania. Praktyka kliniczna pokazuje, że choroby o takiej etiologii bywają pomijane w procesie diagnostyki różnicowej. Ponadto powszechnie dostępne klasyczne badanie próbki kału w mikroskopie świetlnym jest badaniem o stosunkowo niskiej czułości. W pracy przedstawiono opis przypadku 46-letniej pacjentki, przyjętej do Kliniki w celu planowej diagnostyki z powodu spadku masy ciała, bez innych dolegliwości ze strony przewodu pokarmowego. W toku diagnostyki wykazano, że przyczyną spadku masy ciała była infestacja pasożytnicza przewodu pokarmowego robakami obłymi, co stwierdzono w kolonoskopii, natomiast trzykrotnie wykonane badanie kału nie wykazało obecności pasożytów w pobranym materiale. Przedstawiony opis przypadku pokazuje, że o chorobach pasożytniczych nadal należy pamiętać w praktyce klinicznej i uwzględniać je w procesie diagnostyki różnicowej. Ponadto potrzebne są prace nad poprawą czułości metod diagnostyki parazytologicznej. Konieczne są również badania dotyczące aktualnej sytuacji epidemiologicznej w Polsce w zakresie parazytoz przewodu pokarmowego.

Parasitic infections of the digestive tract remain an important health problem on a global scale. The current epidemiological situation in Poland is unknown because most parasitic diseases, including all caused by helminths, are not subject to reporting. Clinical practice shows that diseases of such etiology are sometimes overlooked in the process of differential diagnosis. In addition, the commonly available classical examination of a stool sample utilizing a light microscope is a relatively low-sensitivity test. This study presents a case report of a 46-year-old patient admitted to the Clinic for planned diagnostics due to weight loss without other gastrointestinal symptoms. In the course of the diagnosis, it occurred that the cause of the weight loss was a parasitic infestation of the gastrointestinal tract with roundworms, which were observed in a colonoscopy, but no parasites were found in the collected material in stool examinations performed three times. The presented case report demostrates that parasitic diseases still should be taken into consideration in clinical practice in the process of differential diagnosis. In addition, further effort is needed to improve the sensitivity of parasitological diagnostic methods. Moreover, there is a need for research on the current epidemiological situation in Poland in the field of gastrointestinal parasitosis.

Fruit juice processing facilities, storage and waste fruits disposable cans are sourced based on several considerations ranging from cost, durability and health implications. This study evaluated the corrosion performance of Aluminum zinc coated steel (Aluzinc), in three media (tomato, orange and pineapple juices). These media were chosen due to their social and economic importance. Samples of Aluzinc, were prepared by cutting into 3 × 3 cm from 0.5 mm thick plate. Three of the prepared samples were used for Potentiodynamic Polarization Experiments (PPE) while 54 samples were used for Weight Loss Method (WLM). Each of the prepared samples for WLM was cleaned, weighed and immersed in the media for 30 days. The samples were removed at the end of immersion, cleaned and reweighed. The weight losses obtained for WLM were used to evaluate the corrosion rates. The results obtained for the corrosion rates in mm/yr using PPE in orange, pineapple and tomato juices were 0.0065, 0.0303, and 0.0062 for Aluzinc. The measured pH values for the media ranged from 4.1 to 8.3. The corrosion rate of aluzinc was highest in Pineapple juice than in Tomato and Orange juice after 30 days immersion in the media. SEM images of corroded metallic samples indicated the effect of corrosion on them.

Urządzenia używane w przetwórstwie soków, jak i pojemniki jednorazowe stosowane do magazynowania soków i ich odpadów, dobierane są z uwzględnieniem ich ceny, trwałości oraz bezpieczeństwa dla zdrowia. Przeprowadzono badania zachowania stali z powłoką cynkowo-aluminiową umieszczonej w trzech różnych mediach (sok pomidorowy, pomarańczowy i ananasowy). Media te wybrano ze względu na ich znaczenie społeczne i gospodarcze. Próbki alucynku przygotowano wycinając płytki o rozmiarach 3 × 3 cm z blachy o grubości 0,5 mm. Trzy z przygotowanych próbek użyto w badaniach metodą polaryzacji potencjodynamicznej, a 54 próbki wykorzystano do oznaczania ubytku masy. Każdą z próbek przeznaczonych do badań metodą WLM wyczyszczono, zważono i zanurzono w wybranym medium przez 30 dni. Następnie próbki wyciągnięto, wyczyszczono i ponownie zważono. Uzyskane wartości ubytku masy wykorzystano do oceny stopnia korozji. Szybkość korozji wyrażona w mm/rok określona na podstawie badania PPE po zanurzeniu próbek w soku pomarańczowym, ananasowym i pomidorowym wynosiła odpowiednio 0,0065, 0,0303 i 0,0062. Wartości pH dla użytych mediów mieściły się w przedziale od 4,1 do 8,3. Szybkość korozji alucynku była największa w przypadku soku ananasowego, następnie pomidorowego, a na końcu pomarańczowego. Próbki metalowe widziane na zdjęciach SEM nosiły ślady korozji.
