The aim of our work is to show the establishment of the sport activities in Goce Delcev University -Stip as a fully integrated university under condition of the process of education in all study programs. Sporting activities of students inside our university are divided into three types:-sport as a part of the curriculum for the students in the first year, -student sport competition activities for all students from faculties and in interuniversity, national, European and World levels and -professional sport activities of four University teams as a part of professional leagues. The harmonisation of sport-related training and activities at University level is well underway in form of the Bologna process:-to harmonize all study programmes and degrees and give the same opportunity for sport to all student -to enhance overcoming of obstacles concerning the sport activities as an obligatory course and to ameliorate its recognition. In our university all sport activities are coordinated through University Sport Center as an independent body including professionals and representatives from university, responsible also for the project activities related to the health care of athletes from the professional and amateur teams. The future action is focused to increase the number of sports for attracting the number of students from all years in all cycle of education using questionnaire containing information of their potential interest. This should be the initial steps to propose sport as an obligatory course during all period of the study program in whole university.
Introduction:The aims of the study were to present the body composition of young male basketball players and to show the differences in respected age groups. Material and methods:This study included a total of 96 male basketball players, divided into four groups according to age: group under 12 (10.0±1.14), under 14 (12.8±0.82), group under 16 (14.67±054) and group under 18 years old (16.7±0.54). In different age groups some body mass components were monitored using the Mateigka's methods. Results:The estimation of three body mass components -the muscular component (MM %), the bone component (BC %) and the body fat (BF %) showed that in the first group body mass of young athletes had an average value of MM=50.29±4.56 %; BM =19.94±2.21% and BF=16.90±2.88%. The second group had MM=51.32±2.99%; BM =19.90±1.92% and FM=15.89±3.26%. The third group had average values of MM=52.08±3.67%; BM =18.28±1.53% and FM=15.43±2.5%. The fourth group showed the following mean values for body mass components: MC=53.7±3.16%; BC =18.33±1.88% and FM=15.24±1.64%. We observed significant differences in body composition parameters of young basketball players. Conclusion:Comparison between age groups showed that FM% was lower in group aged under 18 vs. group under 14 and 16, and under 12 years. The obtained data could be used as standard values for Macedonian young basketball players and other athletes.
[18F]Fluoromisonidazole ([18F]FMISO) as nitroimidazole derivative with 18F radioisotope is a widely known and studied hypoxia marker for PET imaging. A number of automated synthesis modules and purification strategies for production of [18F]FMISO have been described in recent years. The goal of this work was to develop [18F]FMISO synthesis process with Synthera module with solid phase extraction (SPE) Sep-Pak purification cartridges. To adjust the reaction conditions we synthesized [18F]FMISO under different reaction conditions and using various reversed-phase (RP) purification cartridges (HLB light, HLB plus, tC18, C18 environmental, Chromafix PS-RP). The synthesis was performed by nucleophilic substitution of commercial 1-(2′-nitro-1′-imidazolyl)-2-O-tetrahydropyranyl-3-O-toluenesulfonylpropanediol precursor and subsequent acidic hydrolysis. Further, the product mixture was purified by passing through the SPE cartridge. The produced [18F]FMISO was retained on the cartridge, while the impurities passed through the cartridge into a waste. The retained [18F]FMISO was then eluted with small amounts of ethanol in water and eluates were collected in the final product vial. The product sample was subjected to quality control tests, while for waste sample chemical and radiochemical tests were performed. We have developed an efficient synthesis method of [18F]FMISO with cartridge purification with good radiochemical yield (RCY) and high chemical and radiochemical purity in accordance with the Ph. Eur. Monograph for Fluoromisonidazole (18F) injection.
