AB  - Introduction Nurses represent an important link in mediating between the potential donors and their relatives'consent to organ and tissue transplantation.The message of the Health Department to potential donors about the importance of organ donation was supported by the Serbian Orthodox Church, the army and other institutions through media campaigns. Nurses could contribute to this action by their personal example. Objective The aim of this study was identification and bivariate analysis of nurse attitude about organ donation, their knowledge about the importance of transplantation as treatment methods, as well as the connection between work experience and education level with the formation of attitudes and new skills. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 291 nurses from the Clinical Center of Serbia, Belgrade, filled in the questionnaire on the effect of correlation between the length of the service and level of education on knowledge and attitudes toward organ transplantation and organ donation. Results Out of 291 respondents, 67.4% have completed the nursing school and 32.6% have higher education. The majority (63.9%) of respondents knew that the EEG was the most valid method for determining brain death. The question regarding the possibility of buying organs was answered correctly by 68.7% of respondents. A large majority (91%) would accept organ transplant, if needed, but only 32.0% would be organ donors, and only 0.3% owned a donor card. In contrast, one third of nurses were already blood donors. Conclusion In case of necessary transplantation, nurses would accept someone else's organ, though they do not possess donor cards, but just few would donate their organs. It is possible that prejudice arises from ignorance and distrust in the health policy of the Republic of Serbia. However, besides negative attitude, nurses have expressed interest in learning and professional development in the area of transplantation.

AB  - Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic, progressive liver disease with elevated serum lipids. It remains unclear if hyperlipidemia increases the risk for atherosclerosis in PBC patients. Metabolic syndrome (MS) promotes the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease due to abdominal obesity and insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to assess incidence and parameters of MS, as well as subcutaneous and visceral fat using noninvasive ultrasonographic measurement in patients with PBC in our population. We included 55 patients with PBC and 44 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (CG-control group). Anthropometric measurements (weight, height, and waist circumference), age, sex, and body mass index were recorded for patients and controls. Laboratory tests for assessing MS and liver function tests were analyzed. We used ultrasonography to determine subcutaneous and visceral fat diameter and area (SF, VF and SA, VA, respectively), as well as perirenal fat diameter (PF). Patients with PBC had significantly higher levels of cholesterol and liver function tests. There were no statistically significant difference in serum insulin and HOMA levels, as well as incidence of MS was diagnosed in 30.9 % (17/55) PBC patients and 43.2 % (19/44) controls. We registered lower amount of VF (PBC:10.92 +/- 3.63 mm, CG:16.84 +/- 5.51 mm,  lt  0.001), VA (PBC:403.64 +/- 166.97 mm(2), CG:720.57 +/- 272.50 mm(2),  lt  0.001), and PF (PBC:7.03 +/- 1.82 mm, CG 10.49 +/- 2.70 mm,  lt  0.001) in patients with PBC. MS is not more frequent in patients with PBC compared with healthy volunteers in our population. Lower amount of VF could be related to lower risk for cardiovascular events in PBC patients.
