121. Towards a holistic approach to the geochemistry of solid inorganicparticles in the urban environmentMartin Gaberšek, Mateja Gosar, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: Airborne particulate matter (PM) has a major impact on the biogeochemical cycles of chemical elements in theurban environment. Anthropogenic-derived PM emissions are the cause of some of the most severe environmen-tal and health problems. The presented study aims to improve our knowledge of PM dynamics by introducing amulti-media, multi-analytical and multi-elemental holistic approach to geochemical studies of inorganic PM inthe urban environment. The importance of the holistic approach is highlighted and its application in a casestudy of Maribor (Slovenia) is presented. The chemical composition and individual particulate characteristicsof street, attic and household dust were determined and compared with the characteristics of airborne PM,and PM deposited in snow, together with the chemical composition of the soil. We found that the mineralogicaland chemical composition and the individual solid particle characteristics of the studied media differ consider-ably. Nevertheless, minerals of geogenic origin are present in all media. The highest levels of potentially toxic el-ements (PTEs) in all media, except household dust, are typical for industrial areas. Street dust primarily reflectsthe influence of winter road maintenance and industrial activities, while characteristics of household dust arepredominantly influenced by indoor activities and properties of dwellings. The comparison of the chemical com-position of attic and street dust indicates that emissions of As, Cd, Pb, S and Zn were higher in the past. The char-acterisation of airborne PM and PM deposited in snow is essential for the identification of the mostrecentsourcesof PTE-bearing particles. Several industrial sources and the fate of some particle types in the environment havebeen determined based on thefindings of the SEM/EDS analyses. This study confirms that various environmentalmedia are carriers of diverse geochemical information and highlights the importance of a holistic approach ingeochemistry of PM in urban areas.

122. GLCCI1 polymorphism rs37973 and asthma treatment response to inhaled corticosteroidsMatija Rijavec, Mateja Žavbi, Anton Lopert, Matjaž Fležar, Peter Korošec, 2018, original scientific article Abstract: Background. Asthma treatment response is highly variable and pharmacogenetic markers that predict treatment response would be one step closer to personalized treatment. GWAS studies have shown that polymorphisms GLCCI1 could be associated with asthma treatment response to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Materials and methods. We genotyped rs37973 of GLCCI1 in 208 adult asthma patients treated with ICS. Change in % predicted FEV1 was analysed after short-term (3 months) and after long-term (at least 3 years) treatment. Treatment success was defined as good when FEV1 decreased less than 30 ml/year. Results. After 3 months of treatment, change of % predicted FEV1 was higher in patients with GG genotype than in patients with AG+AA genotype, and this genotype dependent difference was only evident in non-smokers. Similar results were found after at least 3 years of treatment when all patients were analysed, in non-smokers and patients with atopy. Even though, no differences in treatment success (good vs. poor response) were observed when analysing the entire group of patients, genotype dependent treatment success was highly influenced by smoking and atopy. GG genotype was overrepresented in non-smokers and patients with atopy with good response. Conclusions. Rs37973 was associated with short- and long-term treatment response; however, there was a great influence of smoking and atopy on pharmacogenetic association. Furthermore, we found GG genotype to be associated with better treatment response, what is contrary to results found in GWAS.

127. Ocena zamikov pri napotitvi, izvedbi diagnostike in prvega zdravljenja pri bolnikih z raki sečnega mehurja in ledvic v SlovenijiVesna Zadnik, Mateja Kokalj-Kokot, Klemen Černelč, Nika Bric, 2020, other scientific articles Abstract: Pri nas za ledvičnim rakom na leto povprečno zboli 370 ljudi, za rakom sečnega mehurja 320. Preživetje slovenskih bolnikov in bolnic pri teh dveh oblikah raka je že vrsto let slabše od evropskega povprečja. V povezavi treh raziskovalnih organizacij, Onkološkega inštituta Ljubljana, Katedre za družinsko medicino Univerze v Ljubljani in Kliničnega oddelka za urologijo Univerzitetnega kliničnega centra Ljubljana, smo leta 2017 uvedli projekt Celostna analiza zgodnje obravnave bolnikov z urološkimi raki z oceno zamikov pri napotitvi, izvedbi diagnostike in prvega zdravljenja, v katerem smo retrospektivno analizirali zdravstveno oskrbo slovenskih bolnikov in bolnic z raki ledvic, sečnega mehurja ali prostate. V raziskavo smo vključili vse zbolele v Sloveniji leta 2014. V tem prispevku prikazujemo rezultate ocene zamikov v zdravljenju bolnikov in bolnic z rakom ledvic in rakom sečnega mehurja. Median interval zdravstvenega sistema (čas od prvih preiskav do začetka zdravljenja) je bil pri bolnikih z rakom sečnega mehurja 35 dni, pri bolnikih z ledvičnim rakom pa 22 dni. Pri obeh rakih je največ časa poteklo med prvimi diagnostičnimi postopki in prvim pregledom pri specialistu, kar nakazuje na ozko grlo pri izvedbi diagnostičnih postopkov.
