[Evaluation of "the ever changing" educational program].

The educational program "The Always Changing Program" was performed in 1500 primary schools in 21 major towns in different voievodships and concerned 200 thousands children from 5 and 6 classes. The studies aimed at the evaluation of its usefulness for health education in primary schools as well as of feedback reaction from pupils. 1406 schools and 1425 school children who completed this program participated in the study. The results showed that both schools and coordinators from the Sanitary Epidemiological Stations are well prepared to introduce this program. The approaches applied by schools were in accordance with the intentions of the program. The program was positively evaluated by school authorities as far as its contents and additional tools in which it was equipped are concerned. The need for the continuation of this program was expressed together with the proposals concerning its extension including films. The opinions expressed by school children allow to conclude that the program is useful and that this kind of education is expected to be continued in schools. It was found different feedback reaction depending on sex and social status. This creates the need for more specific approaches for defined groups of children. The evaluation of the influence of this program on specific knowledge and behavioral patterns in children are planned.

[Competence of families for providing sex education of children].

This investigation explores the conditions under which children's sex education in families takes place. In particular, types of parents activities are examined, the parents attitude toward sexual concerns of children is assessed, as well as, moderating social ties are identified. The study population includes 1239 primary school students of the 7th grade, randomly selected from Warsaw primary schools. The findings show insufficient proficiency of families in sex education of their children. Although parents are the most desired source of sex related information, the range of their info-educational activities is found to be limited. This is particularly true when sons are considered; more attention is being paid to daughters. The results also indicates that mothers are more engaged in sex education than fathers. The findings show positive correlation between proficiency of parents in this field and their social status. This competence is also higher in families with better communication between members and families in which child freedom is not essentially limited.

Experimental investigations on the possibility of transplantation of venous grafts stored at low temperatures.

At the Laboratory of Experimental Surgery, Institute of Haematology in Warsaw 13 dogs received homografts of venous patches stored at low temperatures to fill defects in the wall of the lower caval vein. Venous patches were prepared from segments of femoral veins and were placed in 1.41 M DSMO and stored at the temperature of liquid nitrogen. The authors describe the methods of obtaining venous patches, the technique of freezing and defreezing of grafts, and details of operations. Full healing in of grafts took about 15 days. The results of histological examinations of grafts obtained during planned autopsies between 12 and 29 days after application of the graft are discussed.

Oxygen consumption by hepatic tissue after transfusion of a stroma-free haemoglobin solution.

The ability of stroma-free haemoglobin solutions to transport oxygen was investigated by determining the oxygen consumption by the liver using Warburg's microrespirator. 50 ml of blood were removed from the rabbit under general anaesthesia and replaced by an identical volume of a non-oxygenated or oxygenated haemoglobin solution. The control rabbits received no transfusions. It was found that arterial hypotension produced by blood-letting caused a significant rise in oxygen consumption by the hepatic tissue. The rise was increased even more when the rabbits received no transfusions. Transfusion of non-oxygenated haemoglobin solutions caused likewise a rise in oxygen consumption immediately after transfusion. This rise was, however, not so significant as in the control group. On the other hand, transfusion of oxygenated haemoglobin solutions produced no rise in the oxygen consumption by the liver as compared to its value after blood-letting.

[Role of spleen in leukocyte kinetics in dog].

In 9 dogs blood samples were obtained from the splenic vein and artery under general anaesthesia with Eunarcon, the quantitative and qualitative composition of white blood cells was compared and it was found that canine spleen can release or retain granulocytes and mononuclear cells simultaneously or any of these cells separately.

Differences in the composition of leucoyctes in the splenic artery and vein in rabbits, and dogs.

Differences in the composition of leucocytes in the splenic artery and vein in rabbits, and dogs. Acta Physiol. Pol. 1975, 26 (1): 33-39. Blood samples were taken from the splenic artery and splenic vein of 14 rabbits and 9 dogs under general anaesthesia (with hexobarbital sodium in rabbits and Eunarcon in dogs) to compare the quantitative and qualitative composition of white blood cells. It was found that the rabbit spleen releases into the circulation mononuclear cells which do not differ in their size from cells of the blood flowing into the spleen, and that it can retain or release granulocytes, probably due to their intravascular margination. The dog spleen can retain or release granulocytes and mononuclears simultaneously or separately, probably due to the mechanism which includes spontaneous contraction of the spleen.
