Background. The Kinesio Taping (KT) method is based on taping the painful parts of the body. It has been known since almost 50 years. Until now, there is no physiological, neurophysiological or biochemical determinants of the effectiveness of this technique, as well as standardized methods for assessing the effectiveness of this therapeutic method. This work systematizes the current knowledge in the area of research on the Kinesio Taping method based on publications available in the PubMed database. Material and methods. The research material consisted of 149 publications from the years 2006-2017 obtained after entering the „Kinesio Taping” password into the PubMed database. The articles were grouped according to the criterion of the body area subjected to therapy. In individual groups, the area of patting was analyzed, the measurement methods used, the number of tests carried out, and the countries and centres where the research was conducted. Results. The research was carried out on healthy people and those who declared pain. The largest number of scientific publications on KT originated from Turkey (14.46%), South Korea (11.4%) and Taiwan (11.4%). Mostly, the articles in this area examined the impact of knee joint surgery (37 articles), and the least on the elbow joint (8 articles). The VAS scale (46 works) and dynamometer (26 works) testing muscular strength predominated among the measurement methods evaluating the effects of the therapy. Conclusion. The analysis of scientific publications on KT indicates that in the majority of the conducted studies, the therapeutic effect was based on the subjective feelings of the patient. There is a lack of uniform criteria for assessing the effectiveness of this method, as well as the lack of a coherent theory describing the therapeutic mechanisms of KT.

Wstęp. Metoda Kinesio Tapingu (KT) polegająca na oklejaniu plastrami bolących części ciała znana jest od prawie 50 lat. Do dzisiaj brak jest jednak fizjologicznych, neurofizjologicznych lub biochemicznych uwarunkowań efektywności tej techniki, jak również standaryzowanych metod oceny skuteczności tej metody terapeutycznej. Ta praca systematyzuje dotychczasową wiedzę z obszaru badań nad metodą Kinesio Tapingu w oparciu o publikacje dostępne w bazie danych PubMed. Materiał i metody. Materiał badawczy stanowiło 149 publikacji z lat 2006-2017 uzyskanych po wpisaniu do bazy PubMed hasła „Kinesio Taping”. Prace zostały pogrupowane według kryterium obszaru ciała poddanego terapii. W poszczególnych grupach analizowano obszar plastrowania, zastosowane metody pomiarowe, liczbę przeprowadzonych badań oraz kraje i ośrodki, w których prowadzono badania. Wyniki. Badania prowadzono zarówno na osobach zdrowych, jak i deklarujących dolegliwości bólowe. Najwięcej publikacji naukowych na temat KT pochodziło z Turcji (19,46%), Korei Południowej (11,4%) i Tajwanu (11,4%). Najczęściej w pracach z tego obszaru badano wpływ zabiegu na staw kolanowy (37 artykułów), natomiast najmniej na staw łokciowy (8 artykułów). Wśród metod pomiarowych oceniających efekty terapii przeważała skala VAS (46 prac) oraz dynamometr (26 prac) badający siłę mięśniową. Wnioski. Analiza publikacji naukowych dotyczących KT wskazuje, że w przypadku większości prowadzonych badań efekt terapeutyczny oparto o subiektywne odczucia pacjenta. Dostrzega się brak jednolitych kryteriów oceny skuteczności tej metody, jak też brak spójnej teorii opisującej terapeutyczne mechanizmy działania KT.

A Half Century of Scientific Research in Field Hockey

Purpose. Using databases available on the Internet, the number of scientific papers on the subject of field hockey were examined. Basic procedures. As a result, 208 scientific studies covering the fields of biochemistry, physiology, sport injuries, psychology and tactics were found, which were published within the last 50 years (from 1960 to 2010). Despite the popularity of field hockey and its status as an Olympic sport, the number of scientific studies which focused on field hockey was much smaller when compared to the amount of publications on other team sports, such as soccer, basketball, or baseball. Main findings. It was found that the greatest number of publications (61.06%) originated from five English-speaking countries (UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), with the majority focusing on sport psychology, injuries and biochemistry. What was discovered was that the vast majority of scientific studies used field hockey merely as a reference point in comparison to other team sports. Conclusions. The varying topic diversity of the scientific studies found among the databases significantly hinders an effective comparison of findings, especially considering that most of the studies focused on only a few selected aspects of the problem matter and were chiefly small sample studies, nor were they repeated.

Inguinal hernia repair and cholecystectomy are amongst the most common surgical procedures performed worldwide. In the recent decades, early disease detection has notably increased due to easily accessible ultrasound. The aim of the study was to assess the safety and the possibility of performing a simultaneous hernia repair and cholecystectomy using the laparoscopic approach. Material and methods. Eight patients (M=100%) with inguinal hernia (3 with bilateral hernia) and cholelithiasis were included in the study. The presence of gallstones was confirmed by imaging. Mean age of the patients was 61.75 years (ranging from 47-72). Simultaneous laparoscopic cholecystectomy and transabdominal pre-peritoneal hernia repair was performed in all patients. Postoperative complications were analyzed to assess the safety and feasibility of the procedure. Results. Mean operating time was 55 minutes (ranging from 30-60) and average length of stay was 3.625 days (ranging from 2-7). In order to perform a cholecystectomy, 1-2 additional trocars were used. No intra-operative complications were observed. At a follow-up visit on postoperative day 7, a small hematoma (10 ml of blood was punctured) in the right groin was noted in one patient. Another patient developed fever postoperatively, treated conservatively with antibiotics. Conclusions. Simultaneous TAPP and cholecystectomy proved to be a safe and feasible procedure. Acceptable operating time and hospital stay, as well as lack of influence on the length of convalescence, may present an interesting alternative to two separate procedures

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and C-reactive protein (CRP) may play critical roles in generation of oxidative stress and the development of the systemic inflammatory response. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of atorvastatin therapy on the MPO gene expression and its plasma level in relation to lipids level lowering and an anti-inflammatory response in patients after acute myocardial infarction. The research material was represented by 112 samples. Thirty-eight patients with first AMI receiving atorvastatin therapy (40 mg/day) and followed up for one month were involved in the study. The relative MPO gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was examined using RT-qPCR in 38 patients before-, 38 patients after-therapy and in 36 patients as the control group. The plasma concentrations of MPO and serum concentrations of biochemical parameters were determined using commercially available diagnostic tests. After one month of atorvastatin therapy, in 60.5% patients a decrease of MPO gene expression, whereas in 39.5% patients an increase, was observed. The plasma MPO levels behaved in the same way as the MPO gene expression. However, the serum lipids and CRP concentrations were significantly lower after one month of atorvastatin therapy in both groups of patients - with decreased and increased MPO gene expression. Atorvastatin exhibited a different effect on MPO gene expression and its plasma level. Short-term atorvastatin therapy resulted in lipid lowering and anti-inflammatory activity in patients after AMI, independently of its effect on MPO gene expression. The molecular mechanisms of this phenomenon are not yet defined and require further research.
