    <jats:p><p>Standard electrophoresis methods were used in the classification of analyzed proteins in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with multiple sclerosis. Disc electrophoresis was carried out for detection of oligoclonal IgG bands in cerebrospinal fluid on polyacrylamide gel, mainly with multiple sclerosis and other central nervous system dysfunctions. ImageMaster 1D Elite and GelPro specialized software packages were used for fast accurate image and gel analysis. The classification model was based on supervised self-organizing maps. In order to perform the modeling in automated manner genetic algorithms were used. Using this approach and a data set composed of 69 samples we were able to develop models based on supervised self-organizing maps which were able to correctly classify 83 % of the samples in the data set used for external validation.</p></jats:p>

    <jats:p>Multivariate statistical approaches have been increasingly applied in hemorrhagic stroke data analysis. Nevertheless, several aspects regarding their relevance and validity in respect of the application of data transformations have not been studied in details. This paper examines the effects of different data transformations in the standard statistical methods of the multivariate analysis of the intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) parameters in small group samples. Two different methods for data transformations (log transformation (log(Xi )), square root transformation (√Xi ))have been carried out. The initial volume of the ICH have been studied using several test for skewness, kurtosis, histogram distribution method and different quartile-quartile (Q-Q) and probability-probability (P-P) plots as criteria for normal distribution. Multivariate analyses for the prediction of the perifocal edema was performed using raw and transformed data. Our results indicate that the data transformation operations should be performed very carefully because different analytical outputs lead to different scientific conclusions.</jats:p>

    We aimed to evaluate the prognostic values, contribution and interactions of the peripheral blood plasma glutamate and tumor-necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels toward the formation of the perifocal edema in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

    On the differential hydration of various forms of glycine in diluted aqueous solutions: a Monte Carlo study

    <jats:p>Rigid-body Monte Carlo simulations were carried out to study the differential hydration of zwitterionic and neutral forms of glycine in water. To account for the solute polarization by the rather polar liquid environment, initial geometries were chosen as minima on the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ potential energy surfaces of neutral and zwitterionic glycine continuously solvated by water, implementing the polarizable continuum model (PCM) within the integral equation formalism (IEFPCM). The dynamically changing hydrogen bonding network between the solute and solvent molecules was analyzed imposing distance, energy and angular distribution-based criteria. It was found that, on average, the zwitterionic form of glycine acts as an acceptor of 4.53 hydrogen bonds, while it plays the role of a proton donor in (on average) 2.73 hydrogen bonds with the solvent water molecules. In particular, we have found out that 2.73 solvent water molecules are involved in hydrogen bonding interaction with the ammonium group, acting as proton-acceptors. This is in excellent agreement with the recent experimental neutron diffraction studies, which have indicated that 3.0 water molecules reside in the vicinity of the NH3+ group of aqueous zwitterionic glycine. Neutral form of aqueous glycine, on the other hand, on average donates protons in 1.63 hydrogen bonds with the solvent water molecules, while at the same time it accepts 2.53 hydrogen bonds from the solvent molecules. The greater charge polarization in the zwitterionic form thus makes it much more exposed to hydrogen bonding interaction in polar medium such as water, which is certainly the main reason of the larger stability of this form of glycine in condensed media.</jats:p>
