AB  - Forensic palynology uses microscopic evidence that is resistant to external influences and displacement from the scene. Most suspects may overlook pollen as evidence because they do not know its importance. Pollen provides a myriad of opportunities in forensics: determining the  time  of  year,  locality,  primary  and  secondary  event  venue,  connecting  participants  in  a  single  criminal  event,  etc.  Pollen  analysis  consists  of  determining  the  species  and  estimating  the percentage that each plant species represents in the evidence sample. All methods require preliminary preparation (pollen extraction). A couple of methods for pollen extraction are used, but they are usually either suitable for large samples or require expensive equipment. We tried to  optimize  some  of  the  existing  methods  to  improve  yield.  Best  results  have  been  achieved  using  water  incubated  samples  combined  with  modified  acetolysis.  Further  development  and  implementation of forensic palynology depend on the simplified procedure and involvement of forensic botanists.

AB  - Clinical, biochemical and molecular biology studies have identified lysosome-encapsulated cellular proteases as critical risk factors for cancer progression. Cathepsins represent a group of such proteases aimed at maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Nevertheless, recent reports suggest that Cathepsin B executes other cellular programs such as controlling tumor growth, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastases development. In fact, elevated levels of Cathepsins are found under different pathological conditions including inflammation, infection, neurodegenerative disease, and cancer. Furthermore, the discovery of Cathepsin B secretion and function as an extracellular matrix protein has broadened our appreciation for the impact of Cathepsin B on cancer progression. Underneath a façade of an intracellular protease with limited therapeutic potential hides a central role of cathepsins in extracellular functions. Moreover, this role is incredibly diverse from one condition to the next – from driving caspase-dependent apoptosis to facilitating tumor neovascularization and metastasis. Here we discuss the role of Cathepsin B in the oncogenic process and perspective the use of Cathepsin B for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

AB  - Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequently diagnosed malignant tumor, and thesixth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men worldwide. Standard diagnosticand prognostic parameters are serum PSA level, Gleason gradus score, and the clinicalstage of PCa. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified over 30 singlenucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with human PCa. Genetic variants haveemerged as potential genetic markers that could be used along with standard prognosticparameters in PCa diagnostics and outcome prediction.This study aimed to evaluate possible association between genotypes and allelesof genetic variants at 7q36 (rs1799983, rs2070744, NOS3 -764A>G, NOS3 -714G>T,rs3918226, and NOS3 -649G>A), 8q24 (rs1447295, rs4242382, rs6983267, rs7017300,rs7837688) and 17q12 (rs3760511, rs7501939) with PCa risk and progression.150 patients with PCa, 150 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH),and 100 men without clinical signs of prostate diseases (control group) were recruited asstudy participants. The genotyping was performed by using PCR-RFLP analysis and bidirectionalDNA sequencing.Our study has shown association for all five analized variants in the region 8q24(rs1447295, rs4242382, rs6983267, rs7017300 and rs7837688) and rs7501939 in the17q12 region with the risk of PCa. Among 13 variants analyzed in our study, two(rs3760511 at 17q12 and rs1799983 at 7q36) have shown evidence of association withstandard prognostic parameters of PCa. Our study yielded evidence of association ofrs3760511 (17q12) and rs3198266 (7q36) with the risk of PCa progression.The results of our study have shown the scientific racionale for conducting casecontrolstudies in Serbian population. The primal contribution of continuing reasearch regarding association between genetic variants and PCa risk and progression is indefining the minimal panel of single nuclotide variants which would be used as nonstandardprognostic parameters in PCa diagnostics and outcome prediction.

AB  - Cannabis sativa and its products (marihuana, hashish and hashish oil) is one of the most used illicit drugs in the world. It is also an agricultural crop so it is important to distinguish between industrial-type and drug-type cannabis by forensic examination of suspected material. Extraction technique is one of the first steps in the laboratory plant material isolation, and therefore the development of new, more efficient method of extraction is desirable. The traditional techniques of extraction of biological active compounds from plant material, such as cannabinoids from cannabis, are based on solvent extraction. These methods are often inefficient in terms of extraction time, amount of solvent, energy consumption and extraction yield. Therefore the importance of continuous development of new, more efficient extraction methods is understandable. In this paper, the short description of cannabis plant and chemical constituents of forensic significance were shown for better understanding. Paper also describes the mechanism of microwave heating and its use in the extraction method through short theoretical background of microwave heating. In addition, examples of application of microwaves for the isolation of some organic compounds from plant material were presented. It is also shown that the microwave extraction can be used in absence of solvent in solvent free microwave technique. The possibility of microwave extraction application in forensic examination of Cannabis sativa is presented by highlighting its simplicity and efficiency.
AB  - Forenzička identifikacija aktivnih supstanci iz kanabisa i njenih produkata (marihuana, hašiš, hašiš ulje) sastoji se u određivanju sadržaja glavnog psihoaktivnog kanabinoida Δ9-tetrahidrokanabinola, produkta degradacije kanabinola i nepsihoaktivnog kanabidiola.

abstract = "Cannabis sativa and its products (marihuana, hashish and hashish oil) is one of the most used illicit drugs in the world. It is also an agricultural crop so it is important to distinguish between industrial-type and drug-type cannabis by forensic examination of suspected material. Extraction technique is one of the first steps in the laboratory plant material isolation, and therefore the development of new, more efficient method of extraction is desirable. The traditional techniques of extraction of biological active compounds from plant material, such as cannabinoids from cannabis, are based on solvent extraction. These methods are often inefficient in terms of extraction time, amount of solvent, energy consumption and extraction yield. Therefore the importance of continuous development of new, more efficient extraction methods is understandable. In this paper, the short description of cannabis plant and chemical constituents of forensic significance were shown for better understanding. Paper also describes the mechanism of microwave heating and its use in the extraction method through short theoretical background of microwave heating. In addition, examples of application of microwaves for the isolation of some organic compounds from plant material were presented. It is also shown that the microwave extraction can be used in absence of solvent in solvent free microwave technique. The possibility of microwave extraction application in forensic examination of Cannabis sativa is presented by highlighting its simplicity and efficiency., Forenzička identifikacija aktivnih supstanci iz kanabisa i njenih produkata (marihuana, hašiš, hašiš ulje) sastoji se u određivanju sadržaja glavnog psihoaktivnog kanabinoida Δ9-tetrahidrokanabinola, produkta degradacije kanabinola i nepsihoaktivnog kanabidiola. Tehnika ekstrakcije predstavlja jedan od prvih koraka laboratorijskog izolovanja biljnog materijala, te je stoga, razvoj novih, efikasnijih metoda ekstrakcije izuzetno važan za sprovođenje forenzičkih analiza.

AB  - Objective: Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common malignant disease in men in the Western Hemisphere. The NOS3 has a role in vascular development, regulation of the vascular tone and tumor growth in PC. In previous studies, the -786 T > C polymorphism was found to be the most important promoter alteration of the NOS3 gene that may affect the PC progression. The purpose of this study was to evaluate 786 T > C, -764A > G, -714 G > T, -690 C > T and -649 G > A polymorphisms in the promoter region of NOS3 gene as genetic indicators of the relative risk of the PC occurrence in Serbian population.

Method: In this study, we characterized these polymorphisms by PCR amplification, followed by capillary electrophoresis sequencing in the peripheral blood samples from 50 patients with PC, 50 benign hyperplasia patients and 50 individuals over 40 years of age who showed no clinical signs of any prostatic disease, that were used as controls.

Results: Three of the analyzed polymorphisms (-764A > G, -714 G > T and -649 G > A) were not detected during this study. It is interesting to observe that when the -786 T > C polymorphism was present, -690 C > T polymorphism was also found.

Conclusion: This study demonstrates no association between the -786 T > C polymorphism in the promoter of the NOS3 gene and the development of PC.

AB  - Introduction & Objectives: Prostate cancer (PC) is the most prevalent type of
cancer in males, comprising about 29% of all malignant tumors. Association with
race, family and specific gene variants suggests strong role of genetics in prostate
cancer etiology. Two nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 17q12 locus have
been associated with the risk of developing prostate cancer in several previous
genome-wide association studies. The correlation between the prostate cancer
and rs7501939 and rs3760511 has already been confirmed in other populations,
the goal of this study is to test whether it applies to Serbian population.
material & methods: Analyses were done on 150 peripheral blood samples, taken
from 100 patients diagnosed with prostate cancer whose prostate-specific antigen
(PSA) serum levels and Gleason score were available and from 50 patients
diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) , while the controls were 100
DNA swab samples taken from healthy individuals. The work proceeded through
PCR amplification of two regions surrounding SNPs, restriction fragment length
polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and random capillary gel electrophoresis of PCR
samples from each SNP group as a control of RFLP analysis. The differences in
genotype frequencies between case and control subjects were tested using a chisquare
test with 1 degree of freedom.
Results:

The Chi-square test was used to determine if there is a statistical
correlation between the SNP and PC and BPH. In the case of rs3760511 there was
no correlation between the controls and the PC, but at the same time, there was a
major statistical correlation between the BPH and PC samples, and also between
BPH and the controls. The rs7501939 also showed no statistical correlation
between the controls and PC samples, but showed correlation between controls
and BPH as well as between BPH and PC samples. Also, there is no statistical
correlation between the Gleason score, PSA levels and the SNP’s studied.
Conclusions: The two SNP’s studied are not correlated to the PC in Serbian
population.
