The consumption of ethanol disturbs oxida-tive-reductive balance in the liver leading to oxidative stress, which plays an glutathione, as well as increased activity of glutathione reductase, while in the case of catalase and glutathione peroxidise, depending on the study, there is either an increase or decrease of these enzymes activity in the liver. This may be due to the age and gender of animals, different experimental conditions, exposure time, ethanol solution dosage and concentration as well as the methods of administration of the ethanol solution. It should be noted that the experiments were conducted mainly on male rats or mice, which, compared to females, are less susceptible to alcohol-induced damage, and more to oxidative stress, which may have also affected the observed results.

Introduction: The paper describes the process of developing a tool to measure social networking site addiction among adolescents, that is the Scale of Excessive Use of Social Networking Sites (SEUS). Material and methods: Three studies (Study 1, N = Study 2, N = 351; Study 3, N = 1054) were performed to establish psychometric properties, construct and criterion validity of SEUS Słowa among Polish high school students. Two different versions of SEUS were developed (48- and 30-item). Their results were correlated with the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS) and standardised questionnaires for measuring psychological variables. Results: SEUS construct validity was checked with Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) procedures. The long 48-item version was reduced to 14 items on which SEUS-14 is based. The final one-factor solution explained 57.7% of variance. The reliability measured with Cronbach’s α is very good. SEUS-14 correlates with BFAS and psychological measures of personality traits, narcissism, self-esteem and Behavioural Activation System, which confirms the scale criterion validity. Discussion: The presented study findings are consistent with the results of other research on Facebook or internet addiction. Regarding the construct validity, one-factor solution turned out to be the best while correlation analysis confirmed SEUS criterion validity. Conclusions: SEUS-14 has demonstrated good psychometric properties in a national sample of Polish adolescents. The measure, treated as a screening tool, can be used for scientific purpose though further studies on the broader use of the scale are necessary.

Introduction: The objective of the study was to assess the potential of publicly available mobile applications created as tools supporting the recovery of alcohol-dependent persons. Material and methods: Fifteen mobile applications were analysed in domains liketype of included functionalities and their educational content, engagement and aesthetics, scope and privacy concern. Modified versions of Self-Help Model Scale (SHMS) and Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS) were used for evaluation. Results: All applications got a low score on SHMS (1-18 points); the average score was only Streszczenie Wprowadzenie: Celem badania była ocena potencjału dostępnych w domenie publicznej aplikacji mobilnych do uzależnionych alkoholu jako narzędzi wspierających proces leczenia alkoholu.

Most applications received points on educational and motivational level, only two applications contained functionalities related to development of coping strategies in high risk situations. Results of scoring on MARS subscales (min. 1, max. 5 points) were higher. The functionality of applications was as-sessed as rather high (average score 4 points), the lowest score was related to the quality of information (average score 2 points). The average score of app features directly related to coping with alcohol use disorder (AUD) was 3 points (min. = 1.2, max. = 4.1). Applications which were scored high on the MARS were also scored relatively highest on SHMS. Researchers were unable to identify any scientific studies conducted in order to assess the efficacy of those applications as tools supporting the persons with AUD in their recovery process. Conclusions: Mobile applications for persons ex-periencing alcohol-related problems are focused mainly on self-monitoring. It seems important that other domains like the motivational, educational, and related to crisis intervention and forms of social support are being developed as well. The concern about lack of privacy has been identified as one of major challenges.
前言:本研究的目的是评估作为支持酒精依赖者康复的工具而创建的公开可用移动应用程序的潜力。材料和方法:15个移动应用程序在包括功能类型及其教育内容，参与度和美学，范围和隐私问题等领域进行了分析。采用改进版自助模式量表(SHMS)和移动应用评定量表(MARS)进行评估。结果:所有申请者的SHMS得分均较低(1-18分);平均得分仅为streszzenie Wprowadzenie: Celem badania była ocena potencjału dostępnych w domenie publicznej appliikacji mobilnych do uzależnionych alkoholu jako narzędzi wspierających proces leczenia alkoholu。Słowa 4点(最小= 1，最大= 1)= 7.7)。大多数应用程序在教育和激励层面获得了分数，只有两个应用程序包含与高风险情况下应对策略发展相关的功能。MARS各分量表评分结果(最小1分，最大1分)5分)更高。应用程序的功能被评为较高(平均得分4分)，最低的得分与信息质量有关(平均得分2分)。与应对酒精使用障碍(AUD)直接相关的app功能平均得分为3分(最小= 1.2，最大= 1.2)。= 4.1)。在MARS中得分较高的应用程序在SHMS中的得分也相对较高。研究人员无法确定任何科学研究，以评估这些应用程序作为支持AUD患者康复过程的工具的有效性。结论:有酒精相关问题的人的移动应用程序主要集中在自我监控上。似乎重要的是，其他领域，如动机，教育，以及与危机干预和社会支持形式相关的领域也在发展。对缺乏隐私的担忧已被确定为主要挑战之一。

Introduction: Ghrelin is an orexigenic peptide produced mainly in gastric mucosa that may increase food hunger and likely psychoactive substance, including alcohol, craving. The aim of the study was to estimate blood ghrelin con-Streszczenie centration in alcohol-dependent patients (ADP) centres. Material and methods: Blood ghrelin concentration was examined twice in 67 alcoholics at the beginning of the study and after four weeks of alcohol abstinence, and in 61 social drinkers (control group) at the beginning of the study. Clinical, biochemical and anthropometric parameters of nutritional status were determined in all the study participants. Results: At the beginning of the study, ghrelin blood concentration was significantly lower in the studied persons than those from the control group. The ghrelin concentration in alcohol-de-pendent patients during four-week therapy increased. The independently to changes of ghrelin concentration alcohol craving did not increase and hunger remained stable. These changes of ghrelin were accompanied by an increase in body mass index (BMI) and mid muscle circumference as state of protein nutrition. Discussion: Further studies are needed to explain the clinical importance of the reverse relationships between blood ghrelin concentration and nutritional status in alcohol-dependent patients. Conclusions: The concentration of endogenus ghrelin in blood probably does not seem to be associated with alcohol craving but only with the intensity of drinking and alcohol-dependent patients’ nutritional status.

Introduction: Investigating and forecasting the changes in the frequency of referrals to the treatment centres of the patients with drug poisoning can aid the assessment of the burden of health problems and planning of appropriate intervention programmes. The aim of this study is to predict the trend of drug poisoning case referrals to the Iranian hospitals up to 2021. Material and methods: The Box & Jenkins model was applied in a longitudinal study to forecast the frequency of drug and alcohol poisoning surveys, which showed that drug abuse prevalence in Iran is higher than the global mean, were also confirmed by our research. The limitation of our study is the lack of access to the full information on psychoactive substance consumption as well as classified information like police and national registry system da-tabases. Conclusions: Our study revealed a rising trend for drug poisoning patients referred to the studied hospitals. The forecasting also suggested that the trend will continue up to 2021 without suitable intervention.
