Trichinellosis caused by the Nematode Trichinella is azoonotic disease which occurs worldwide and affects abroad range of different species including mammals, birds and amphibians. Trichinella spiralis is found in production animals (pigs, horses) in temperate climate zones and can also be found in animals in close contact with these production animals (e.g. dogs, cats, rats). The PrioCHECK® Trichinella Ab is a reliable and fast diagnostic test for detection of antibodies against Trichinella in porcine serum and meat juice samples, and can be used for monitoring and surveillance purposes. Keywords: Trichinella, pig, diagnosis, ELISA, Saranda.

The study called "Shkodra’s turmoil in the Balkan War and the Serbo Montenegrin invasion", sheds light on a period that includes events and important listed facts, seen at national level as well as at local level. This was the reason Shkodra, the largest and the most populated city of Albania, from October 1912 to April 1913 spent the most difficult days in its history, also among the most heroic, especially for the extraordinary resistance in fight for protection from neighboring chauvinists of its territorial integrity. The purpose of the study is a historical overview on the political and social situation, but also wider. It is based mainly on documents from Austro-Hungarian Consulate in Shkodra of the years 1912-1914, as well as in relations from Jesuit priests, who day after day marked events and facts. This study supports the idea that Shkodra, as an integral part of the newly created Albanian state, is primarily a result of the titanic efforts of all Shkodrane without discrimination, which indicated that they were formed as a spiritual family. The world witnessed the common willingness for a civilian national dignity, and desire of living together for the future. On the other hand, it reveals the enormous importance and persistent strong support shown from Austria, in these moments of a severe national trauma.

Background: Lack of vaccination and modern health care facilities in many countries including Albania let meningococcemia to remain as a serious challenging disorder especially among children and in spite of improved diagnosis and earlier treatment its prognosis is still dismal. Patients expected to develop life-threatening complications in acute meningococcal infections require early recognition and appropriate monitoring. Different prognostic scoring systems have been developed. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate mortality in children hospitalized with meningococcal infections in Albania, including scoring systems in prognosticating mortality rate. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study, performed on 40 patients with definite diagnosis of meningococcal infection admitted to PICU in UHC “Mother Teresa”, Tirana, Albania, between 2006 and 2014. There were 40 patients, 22(55%) males and 18(45%) females, from 2 months to 10 years old. We evaluated all the patients based on Stiehm and Damrosch and Glasgow meningococcal septicemia prognostic score. Data were collected by filling checklists. SSPS software was applied to analyze the data using chi-square test. Results: Overall mortality was 42%. According to the GMSPS(3) prognostic score of meningococcemia: 28 (70%) patients had a score <8 points and was recorded four deaths representing a mortality rate of 14.2%; the mortality rate among 12(45%) patients with a score ≥8 points resulted in 100% mortality. The sensitivity was 100%, specificity was 100%, the positive predictive value was 100% and the negative predictive value was 100% for a GMSPS score ≥8. According to the Stiehm and Damrosch criteria (2): 22(55%) patients had two or less factors present and was recorded three deaths representing a mortality rate of 13.6%; the mortality rate among 18(45%) patients with three or more factors present the mortality rate was 72.2%. The sensitivity was 90%, specificity was 80%, the positive predictive value was 75% and negative predictive value was 92.3% for the criterion ≥3 of the Stiehm and Damrosch criteria. Conclusions: Meningococci are still killers, they affect men more than women. The Stiehm and Damrosch and Glasgow meningococcal septicemia prognostic score can rapidly identify children with fulminant meningococcal disease and poor prognosis and help us starting prompt administration of suitable antibiotics, critical care and special therapeutic measures. Keywords: Meningococcal disease, meningococcemia, meningitis, children, scoring system.

Trichinellosis (also trichinosis) in animals is caused by nematodes (roundworms) of the family Trichinellidae Ward, 1970. Family characteristics. Parasites with small bud right body. They have not sexual pterygas. The anus is opened at the terminal part of body . The cloaks are opened at the ¼ frontal part of the body. The adult females are larva-productive. They are parasites of intestinal system. Trichinella spiralis (Trichina spiralis) Owen, 1833. Eight species of Trichinella are now recognize, based on host (Kapel, C M O 2000; Krivokapich, S J; Pozio E and D S Zarlenga, 2005; Pozio E et al, 1992), but the most important for animals domestic are: T. spiralis found as parasitic diseases on humans, pigs, rodents, and many carnivorous animals, of Europe, Asia, North America, with specific pathologies in pigs. T. nativae parasite of wild carnivorous of Euro – Asiatic areas norther of parallel 40°. It is specific diseases of carnivorous and omnivorous animals. T.nelsoni found as parasite of wilds carnivorous animals of Asiatic areas southern of parallel 40°. T. pseudospiralis is parasite of cats, rodents and pigs. It is recognized from other species because of the adult forms have smaller dimensions and forms non capsulated cists. T. spiralis is the cause of Trichinellosis, one of most important zoonosis allover the world. It is found worldwide in many carnivorous and omnivorous animals, insectivorous animals, rodents, wilds animals and humans (Pozio E and G Marucci 2003). It was found at 103 mammals. Occasionally may be found as parasite of horses. Developmental traits of T. spiralis is that infested hosts initially are final hosts because of they host adults forms at their intestine, but later on they are presented as intermediate host, because of they host larval forms at their muscles. Today’s identification of samples to the species level and genotyping are based primarily upon molecular means (Pozio, E., and G. Marucci. 2003). Keywords: trichinosis, Trichinella larvae, tropism, trichinelloscopic examination, trypsine techniques, xenodiagnostic experiments, etc.
动物中的旋毛虫病(也称旋毛虫病)是由Ward, 1970年的旋毛虫科线虫(蛔虫)引起的。家庭的特点。右体有小芽的寄生虫。它们没有性器官。肛门在身体的末端打开。斗篷在身体的前部打开。成年雌蚊产卵能力强。它们是肠道系统的寄生虫。旋毛虫(Trichinella spiralis)欧文,1833。根据宿主,目前已确认有8种旋毛虫(Kapel, C M O 2000;Krivokapich, S J;Pozio E and D S Zarlenga, 2005;Pozio E et al, 1992),但对家养动物最重要的是:在欧洲、亚洲和北美的人类、猪、啮齿动物和许多食肉动物身上发现的螺旋体绦虫是一种寄生虫病,在猪身上有特定的病理。东经40°以北的欧亚地区野生食肉动物的本地寄生虫。它是肉食性和杂食性动物特有的疾病。在亚洲地区平行40°以南的野生肉食性动物中发现的寄生虫。假螺旋绦虫是猫、啮齿动物和猪的寄生虫。它是从其他物种中识别出来的,因为成年形式具有较小的尺寸和形式无包囊囊。旋毛虫病是世界上最重要的人畜共患病之一。它在世界范围内的许多肉食性和杂食性动物、食虫动物、啮齿动物、野生动物和人类中都有发现(Pozio E和G Marucci 2003)。在103种哺乳动物中发现了这种病毒。偶尔可以在马身上发现寄生虫。螺旋螺旋体的发育特征是,被侵染的寄主最初是最终寄主,因为它们在肠道中寄主成虫,但后来它们作为中间寄主出现,因为它们在肌肉中寄主幼虫。今天对物种水平的样本鉴定和基因分型主要基于分子手段(Pozio, E.和G. Marucci. 2003)。关键词:旋毛虫病,旋毛虫幼虫,趋向性,旋毛虫镜检查,胰蛋白酶技术,异种诊断实验等

Background: Distinguishing glial subtypesbased on nuclear and cellular morphology alone is subjective,with significant interobserver variability, even among highlyexperienced neuropathologists. Geneticsubtyping of a given histological phenotype and robust biomarkershas improved the diagnostic and prognostic assessment. Recently, IDH1 (more rarely IDH2) mutations have been found in nearly 40% of gliomas and strongly predict lower grade in histology and better outcomes. Aim: To evaluate if expression of alpha-internexin (INA) can be used a reliable diagnostic, prognostic and cost-effectivemarker, a proneural gene-coding neurofilament interacting protein significantly correlated with oligodendroglial phenotype, 1p/19q codeletion as well as higher chemosensitivity and better prognosis to our study population. Matherial: We studied INA expression in 137gliomasand correlated it with pure oligodentroglialhistology, IDH1, p53, EGFR and SYN expression by immunohystochemestry.Results: INA was expressed in 72.2% of grade II oligodendrogliomas (n = 22), 62.5% of grade III oligodendrogliomas (n = 16), 57.2% of grade II oligoastrocytomas (n = 7), 66.7% of grade III oligoastrocytomas (n = 6), 66.7% of glioblastomas with oligodendroglial component (n = 12), 0% of grade I astrocytomas (n = 13), 0% of grade II astrocytomas (n = 4), 0% of grade III astrocytomas (n = 12) and 2.5% of glioblastomas and gliosarcomas (n = 40).INA was expressed by 27(71.1%) of pure oligodentrogliomas(n=38) versus 17(17.2%) of non pureoligodentrogliomas(n=99),Chi square was p < 10-4; Cramer’s V was 0.517; p <10-4, which show a very strong relationship.INA was expressed by 32(45.1%) of gliomas with IDH1 mutation (n=71) versus 12(18.2%) of gliomas without IDH1 mutation (n=66), Chi square was p < 0.001; Cramer’s V was 0.288; p < 0.001, which show a very strong relationship. INA was expressed by 26(27.4%) of gliomas with P53 mutation (n=95) versus 18(42.9%) of gliomas without P53 mutation (n=42), Chi square wasp=0.05 which show they were negatively correlated. INA was expressed by 30(50.0%) of gliomas with SYN expression (n=60) versus 14(18.2%) of gliomas without SYN expression (n=77), Chi square was p < 10-4; Cramer’s V was 0.338; p < 10-4, which show a very strong relationship. INA was expressed by 12(27.3%) of gliomas with EGFR expression (n = 44) versus 32(34.%) of gliomas without EGFR expression (n=44), Chi square was p=0.05 which show they were negatively correlated. Conclusion: INA expression is a fast, cheap and reliable diagnostic and prognostic marker, which helpsindentify patients of different prognostic groups in diffuse gliomas and should be used routinely in the pathologic diagnosis of glial tumours. Keywords: Glial tumuors, Alpha-internexin, IDH1, P53, Synaptophysine, EGFR protein.

The article, “Beginnings of Albanian Ballet”, sheds light on the choreographic elements of the three national ballets: “Anusha”, “Halili and Hajria” and “Highland Maiden”, composed in the 60s. The first is treasured as the earliest composition in the chronology of the art, the second as the first complete ballet with an elaborate concept of form and high artistic values, whereas the third as a ballet that introduced innovations in artistic composition through the interweaving of elements of traditional and contemporary ballet. Although they are products of the social realism movement, in which, from our modern point of view, the restrictions of the times emerge, they also demonstrate a new artistic level, as well as an important stage in the development of the art of ballet as an original national art form. The talent and creative control of Albanian composers, librettists, choreographers and ballet dancers was confirmed in these ballets, which, along with their interesting subject matter, beautiful music composed of authentic Albanian motifs, offered beautifully choreographed numbers, which harmonized the vocabulary of classical ballet with other modes and forms of expression originating from the abundant Albanian tradition of dance, thus creating a unique and interesting new style. These ballets laid the foundations for the further development of authentic Albanian ballet, thus enriching the burgeoning art form, which had been established with great efforts, talent, dedication and love. Keywords: ballet, choreography, artistic, tool, national, dance, performance, dancer, classical, subject, truth, vocabulary.

Trichinellosis, an infection caused by the Trichinellaspp has been known to occur worldwide affecting almost all species of animals including man. It is an emerging or re- emerging disease in developed and developing countries. This survey was conducted to investigate the prevalence of trichinellosis in domestic pigs slaughtered in kurbin area, Albania. Three hundred sixtypig sera were collected at slaughter in an abattoir in kurbin .

ZnO nanorod has been successfully synthesized through the reduction of Zinc chloride salt with ammonia solution in the presence of triethanolamine (TEA) as surfactant agent via hydrothermal technique. The properties of the produced material were determined using different characterization techniques such as X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectrum (FTIR). The results showed that the asprepared ZnO are rod- like morphologies at pH equal to 10. The synthesized nano rod-zinc oxide was employed as adsorbent agent for basic yellow 28 dye decolorization from polluted industrial wastewater. The synthesized nano-ZnO was achieved 93.26% dye decolorization affinity with in 60minutes. The variation in the different processing parameters on the dye sorption process was elucidated using batch technique. The increment in both the dye solution pH and its temperature was association with decline in the decolourization process. The optimum nano-zinc oxide dosage was recorded to be equal to 10 g/L. The adsorption data at equilibrium were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin equilibrium isotherms. The experimental results confirmed the applicability of synthesized nano-zinc oxide as adsorbent agent for dye decontamination from polluted wastewater. Keywords: nano-zinc oxide, dye decolourization, sorption parameters.

Biomarkers are used as tools to assess biological changes that may reveal exposure of organisms to environmental chemicals. In some cases, biomarkers are able to indicate that chemicals specifically affect metabolic pathways or physiological functions in exposed individuals. Therefore, biomarkers can be used as both diagnostic and predictive tools. More recently, the concept of “biomarkers” has gained popularity amongst environmental managers. There are many different biomarkers that occur at many different levels of organization from sub-cellular to wholeorganisms. Biomarkers at the molecular level tend to respond first, followed by responses at the cellular (biochemical and physiological), and whole-body levels. within this review, I will review the application of some biochemical and physiological biomarkers in aquatic environmental research. This review presents a synthesis of the state of the art in the methodology of biochemical and physiological biomarkers and its contribution in aquatic environmental research. The text explores the latest knowledge and thinking on this very important approach for the assessment of environmental health, management, and conservation. The primary concern of the present review is the measurement of biomarkers in aquatic organisms under field and laboratory conditions, where effects of chemicals at different levels of biological organization can be examined. Keywords: Biomarkers, aquatic organisms, biochemical biomarkers, physiological biomarkers
