- Modern prevention of remodeling of knee joint and the lack of sport functionality by means of electroforesis
- The goal of this research was to overview concentration of aceticisalic acid (ASK), applied perorally by electrophoresis (EF) into the knee joint for sport injuries of 8 parachutists with damaged meniscus along with determination of knee width and angle of its movement. The concentration of the given medicine was quantified by methods of liquid-mass spectrometry (HPCL) while by means of meter and gravitational angle-meter the difference was determined according to width of healthy and injured knee and amplitude of movement. Research results were tested by means of Student t-test for small pair of examples, and we observed a significant amount of drug p<0, 001, administered per a short period of time into EF in meniscus compared to a five-day peroral application of the drug, and therefore higher concentration in synovial liquid compared to meniscus. The difference between central width of healthy and injured knee and amplitude of movement of injured joint for both groups of examiners was compared during the period of 5 days according to EF. We observed statistically significant improvement in movement and smaller difference in the width of healthy tissue compared to injured tissue of the knee in the group with EF, with the importance of p<0,005. Conclusion: The distribution of drug by electrophoresis into the knee joint, significantly affects reducing of inflammation and prevention of anatomical remodeling of the knee joint, along with its higher functionality compared to peroral application of drug.

- Molecular-genetic analyses of the hemochromatosis gene in Bosnian and Herzegovinian population
- Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive disorder which is characterized by sistemic iron overload due to enhanced iron absorption in the small bowel. The most prevalent form of HH results from mutations ih HFE gene. HFE gene is located on chromosome 6 in close proximity to the HLA - A locus. Two most frequent missense mutations were identified in HFE gene, namely a G to A transition at nucleotide 845 which leads to a substitution of cystein for tyrosine at the amino acid position 282 (C282Y) and a C to G change at nucleotide 187 that result in a substitution of histidine for aspartate at the amino acid position 63 (H63D). The study population included two hundred (100 males and 100 females) unrelated healthy individuals from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes using the standard procedure. HFE mutation analysis was performed using PCR-RFLP methods. C282Y mutation was detected in 9 individuals and all of them were heterozygous. H63D mutation was found in 40 idividuals, 6 of them were homozygous. One compound heterozygous H63D/C282Y was identified. The observed C282Y allele frequency in Bosnian and Herzegovinian population was 2.25%; the frequency of the H63D allele was 11.5%. .

- Morphological analysis of pterion
- Pterion is a topographical point on the side of skull where the sutures connecting frontal, parietal, sphenoidal and temporal bone meet. The study's aim was to establish the type and localisation of pterion in the observed population and find if there is a statistically significant difference between the positions of the pterion on the skulls, compared to gender. The study was performed on the skulls of 30 adult individuals without significant pathological changes. The type of pterion on both sides of each skull was determined. The distance between the center of the pterion and defined bony landmarks were measured using the ImageJ software. The dominant type of pterion is sphenoparietal (92.31% in the male and 94.44% of the female skulls). The second type of representation is epipteric (7.69% in the male and 5.55% of the female skulls). It was noted that there are differences of distance between the center pterion and specific topographic points in relation to the page and a half, however, these differences were not statistically significant distances. The shape and the localization of pterion are of importance because it is an anatomic landmark and place of access to the cranial cavity and orbit in neurosurgery, maxillofacial and ophthalmic surgery.

- Morphological characteristics and body composition in premenarcheal and postmenarcheal girls from Vršac
- Puberty is one of the most important periods in the growth process during which there is a change of body proportions and body composition. The aim of this study was to determine the height, body mass, fat mass and nutritional status in premenarcheal and postmenarcheal girls. Transversal study according to the instructions of IBP was carried out in 2003 in primary schools in Vrsac. The study included 442 girls aged 10 to 18 years. The body height, body mass, the volume of the relaxed upper arms skinfold thickness and scapular skinfold triceps thicknesses were measured. The data on the time of menarche were collected. The median menarche was 12.50 ± 0.09 years. Postmenarcheal girls have significantly higher average values of height, weight and body mass index at the age of 11 to 14, with the exception of height at 13 years of age - body mass index and the age of 11. Fat and upper arm muscle area and percentage of body fat to total body weight was higher in all ages of postmenarcheal girls, a significant difference from 12 to 14 years of age. The percentage of overweight and obes (21.7%) postmenarcheal girls is significantly higher (χ2 = 21.168, p = 0.000) than with premenarcheal girls (7.4%). The period of puberty is associated with increased growth, fat mass and obesity.

- Morphological characteristics of auricula in children from Kyustendil region (Southwest Bulgaria)
- The shape of human auricula is characterized by specific features. The diversity of these individual characteristics can be used in forensic identification of individuals. Inter - and intrapopulation variability in the shape of auricula is not thoroughly investigated neither in Bulgaria, nor worldwide. The present study was conducted in the town of Kyustendil (Southwest Bulgaria). The examined sample comprised 240 individuals of both sexes - 120 school boys and 120 school girls (11 to 18 years of age). The shape of auricula and the absence/presence of tuberculum auriculae Darwini were defined by the scale of Schwalbe-Martin and Saller (1959). The most common form of both ears in the examined group is form 6 (60.00%) followed by form 3 with 20.83%. When an additional tuberculum Darwini was present, it was mostly asymmetrically positioned in both sexes. High percentage of individuals with ears positioned in a greater distance from the surface of the head was also established. Within the examined male group, 20.83% had prominent ears, the percentage was higher in comparison with the females, where the percentage was 1.66 % lower than in males.

- Morphological characteristics of young footballers according to position in team
- Peculiarity of some sports and sports disciplines is in their competitive structure. So, it is necessary to research and prove practically the peculiarities of some sports including firstly genetic limit of anthropological abilities and characteristics. The aim of the research is to determine morphological characteristics of young footballers according to their position in a team. The sample of 206 examinees aged 17-18 was analyzed (young footballers) and it was divided into 5 subsamples according to examinees position in a team: forwarders (45), midfield players (47), detenders (41), central detenders (44) and goalkeepers (29). This research includes morphological characteristics which imply four latent dimensions. Fourteen anthropometric measures were determined which hypothetically assess mentioned latent morphological dimensions. Results show significant difference between 5 subsamples in the game for characteristics: body height, body weight, leg length, foot length, pelvis width, knee diameter, anklebone diameter, midbust volume, lower leg volume and back fold. There was no difference with the following characteristics: upper leg volume, upper arm fold, stomach fold, upper leg fold. .

- Morphological model of female members of the Communal Police of Belgrade
- Communal Police of Belgrade was founded in 2010. The specific tasks of communal police officers define their professional and work profile, health status, relevant personality traits, the appropriate level of general and special physical fitness, and morphological characteristics. The aim of this study was to define the current state of basic morphological characteristics of female uniformed structure of Communal Police of Belgrade. The sample consisted of 40 female communal police officers aged 29.7 ± 6.2 years. All measurements were made during 2011 at the Motor Research Laboratory (MRL), Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University of Belgrade. Measurements were carried out by a standardized procedure using the newest generation analyser of body structure: InBody 720. The obtained values of all variables were processed using basic descriptive statistics. The results showed that the average body weight (BW) of the subjects was 63.61±9.81 kg, body height (BH) 166.9±5.7 cm, body mass index (BMI) 22.97±3.73 kg/m2 and the average structure of body composition as follows: 21.14±2.08 L of intracellular fluid (ICW), 13.01±1.30 L of extracellular fluid (ECW), 9.13±0.91 kg of proteins, 3.20±0.35 kg of minerals, 2.67±0.26 kg of bones mass, 17.10±6.43 kg of body fat mass (BFM), 26.24±5.99 % of percent body fat (PBF), area of internal organs affected by fatty deposits (visceral fat) was 57.07±25.67 cm2, fitness score index was 75.80±3.81 points, 30.27±3.09 kg of living cells mass in the body, while the level of the basal metabolism was 1372.0±100.0 kcal. The results lead us to conclude that the current morphological status of female communal police officers belongs to the category of the population with normal anthropomorphological status of citizens of the Republic of Serbia.

- Morphological space and postural disorders of the younger school age
- Regular postural pose occupies less and less its own place in children's everyday activities. Irregular sittings, standings, inadequate bed and pillow for sleeping, different kinds of motion activities as well as the certain endogenous factors systematically take effect on vertebra column, causing changes which often cross the zone of tolerance of soft spine tissues, not achieving bigger damages, but with cumulative function through repeating and long-lasting positions and tissue movements go through certain deformities regarding their own morphology and function. The subject of this research is establishing the influence of morphological space on postural disorders in sagittal plane of the fifth grade pupils of elementary schools on the territory of the city Kragujevac. The sample amounted to 434. Fundamental morphological characteristics of boys to which the irregular kifotic and lortodic posture is established show that body height and sitting body height are in positive correlation with postural disorders.The boys with more noticeable body height and sitting body height had certain changes of position of spine column in pectoral (thoracic) and back (lumbar) region, perceived in sagittal plane, which we can characterize as postural disorders. After interpretation of coefficients of cross-correlation analysis, we see statistically important connection of variables of longitudinal dimension of skeleton, body weight and thoracic cage size with variable of lordosis (LOR), until we achieve the significant connection between predictoral variables and kifosis (KIF). The obtained results show a significant connection of body height and sitting body height, as well as body weight with deviations of vertebra column in lumbar region, perceptible in sagittal plane. .

- Morphological status of football players of different position
- Peculiarity of some sports and sports disciplines is in their competitive structure. Based on the structure competition activity was defined by pothetical model of anthropological characteristics for some players position. In practice it was found that there anthropometric differences in football players compared to their position in the team, which correspond to different tasks during the game. On this basis, there is a need in the training program should include specific tasks for each position in the team. The aim is to determine the morphological status of football players of different positions. The sample of 206 football players aged 17,5 ± 0.5 years, which is divided into 5 subsamples according to examinees gaming position: forwarders (45), midfield players (47), defenders (41), central defenders (44) and goalkeepers (29). This research includes morphological characteristics which imply four latent dimensions. Fourteen anthropometric measures were determined which hypothetically assess mentioned latent morphological dimensions. Results indicate that most homogenous group, the players positions in team received external characteristics of a group of defenders and goalkeepers, central defenders, forwarders and on the end midfield players. The obtained values indicate that the characteristics of homogenous and thus represent a large extent the players who play in the observed positions in the football game.

- Morphological variations of lower premolars
- The aim of the research was to determine the variations in shape and morphology of lower premolars. The research was carried out on study models, 659 (304 males and 355 female) for lower P1 and 600 (280 male and 320 female) for lower P2 orthodontic patients on the Dental Clinic in Niš. Jung's methodology was used for determining the crown morphology of lower P1 and P2. Seven types were defines. The presence of different crown types of lower P1 is the following: in patients of both sexes, type 1 is the most dominant (76.97% in males and 83.66% in females). For P2 in male patients, the most dominant are types 4 and 5 (28.21%, 28.92%). Type 4 dominates in female patients (33.12%).

- Morphological variations of upper premolars
- The aim of the research was to determine the variations in the shape and morphology of upper premolars. The research was carried out on 624 study models (313 male, 311 female) for P1 and 594 (294 male and 300 female) for P2 orthodontic patients on the Dental Clinic in Niš. Zubov's methodology was used. Upper first and second premolar crown morphology was determined based on the degree of development of buccal and palatinal cusps (three types). The shape of the occlusal plane was also analyzed (triangular, oval and renal). Presence of different shape types of upper P1 crowns is the following: in patients of both sexes type 2 dominates (71.73% in males and 76.05% in females). It is similar in P2. In both sexes, the most dominant is type 2 (73.13% in males and 55.5% in females). The triangular shape of upper P2 is the most numerous in people of both sexes (89.03% in boys and 81.02 in girls). Upper P2 in male patients are mostly of triangular shape (51.87%) while in female patients triangular and oval shapes are present in almost the same percentage (49.83% oval shape and 49.16% triangular shape).

- Morphometric analysis of the foramen magnum related to gender
- Foramen magnum (FM) is the comunicational opening between cranial cavity and spinal canal. Usually, it is egg shaped, with it's narrower end placed anterior. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the measurements of the FM and their relation to gender, as well as to analyse the variations in the shape of the FM. We examined 19 adult human skulls (12 male and 7 female) from the Osteological collection at the Department of Anatomy of Medical Faculty in Novi Sad. We observed 10 character traits for visual assessment of sex determination of cranium, using the profocol modified from Ferembach et al. (1980) and from Buikstra et al. (1994). The sagittal diameter (SD), transverse diameter (TD) and the area (A) of the FM were measured using the software program 'Image J'. Our findings showed that the dimensions of the FM were greater in males than in females: SD (46.3±4.01 mm vs. 41.39±2.18 mm, p<0.01), TD (39.85±4.53 mm vs. 35.65±3.12 mm, p<0.05) and A (1349.62±247.83 mm2 vs. 1077.77±149.07 mm2, p<0.01). According to the identity with the shape, the FM was classified in seven types: egg type, oval, round, tetragonal, pentagonal, hexagonal and irregular type. Most common type of the observed FM (31.6%) was the hexogonal one. The knowledge of gender differences in the dimensions of the FM and the variations of it's shape has diagnostic and clinical importance.
