A list of ballads put together by V. A. Zhukovsky in 1814 for translation and imitation is studied in the article. Only one (“The Ring of Polycrates”) of the seven “ancient” (under the name of “Mythological” and “Greek”) plots was used by Zhukovsky. The “Mythological” and “Greek” plots, which were not realized by the author, are considered for the first time. The study of Zhukovsky’s library, letters, and diary entries helped to determine the sources of the plots in focus, as well as their place in the poet’s work. The main content of the article is devoted to this subject. It was concluded that Zhukovsky knew and continued to study ancient Greek and Roman literature. He wanted to give a new lease of life to foreign language patterns in Russian culture.

According to research in the field, the fundamental element of every health system is represented by the institutional framework. The malfunction of the latter may be determined by either the political, or by the social and economic context.The decisions at the political level sometimes harshly affect health policies and their pace of progress. The HR support of the health sector during crisis has been affected as a consequence of arbitrary changes of the rules made by those who provide policies. This fact has determined a sudden and major reduction and a massive fl eeof personnel from the health sector, with negative effects on the health status of Romanians. With a view to all this, the aim of this paper is to provide an insight into the military health system.

The Dinasty's role in the political, economical and social development of Romania can neither be disputed nor undermined. The Dynasty was very important for Romania from the establishment of the country in 1866 up to 1947. During this period, the country experienced political stability and came to be known as one of the most respected European states, at least in Eastern Europe. This study intends to bring to light the patrimonial documents contained by the Special Collections Section of the Galati Library that are in reference to the Royal Family. The historical importance of these documents is significant as they help us recreate an era, as well as follow the daily events in the lives of the members of the Romanian royal family. Almost all of the documents on record are original and many of them are one-of-a kind pieces.

RECOGNITION OF THE UNIQUE MICROBIOLOGY OF CHRONIC SINUSITIS AND ANTIMICROBIALSUSCEPTIBILITY IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR SELECTING ANTIMICROBIAL THERAPY. THE AIM OF THISSTUDY WAS TO DETERMINE THE ETIOLOGY AND ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY OF THE BACTERIACAUSING ACUTE AND CHRONIC SINUSITIS. THE STUDY GROUP INCLUDED 111 BACTERIAL STRAINSISOLATED FROM SINUS PUNCTURE OBTAINED FROM 150 PATIENTS HOSPITALIZED AT COUNTYCLINICAL EMERGENCY HOSPITAL, CRAIOVA, ROMANIA FROM 01.01.2014 TO 01.01.2016. THE ISOLATESWERE IDENTIFIED BY CONVENTIONAL MICROBIOLOGICAL PROCEDURES. ANTIMICROBIALSUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING WAS DETERMINED BY DISK DIFFUSION METHOD ON MUELLER-HINTON AGAR(BIOMERIEUX, USA) FOLLOWING CRITERIA AS RECOMMENDED BY THE CLINICAL AND LABORATORYSTANDARDS INSTITUTE (CLSI, DENVER, USA). THE PREVALENCE OF BACTERIAL AGENTS WAS:PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA STRAINS 24 (13,11%), STAPHYLOCOCCUS STRAINS FOR S.AUREUS AND S.EPIDERMIDIS 26 (14,20%) RESPECTIVELY 47 (25,68%) AND ACINETOBACTER BAUMANNII STRAINS 14(7,65%). OF ALL P. AERUGINOSA CULTURED, 83.33% WERE RESISTANT TO CIPROFLOXACIN AND 97.92%SENSITIVITY TO COLISTIN. OF THE 26 STRAINS OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS , 10 (38,46%) WERE MRSA AND 16 (61,54%) MSSA. IN TERMS OF THE SPECTRUM OF SENSITIVITY - THE MOST SENSITIVE DRUG WASLINEZOLID (96.15%) AND RESISTANT 84.62%, TETRACYCLINE. STAPHILOCCOCUS EPIDERMIDIS STRAINS,47 (25,68%) WERE RESISTANT TO TETRACYCLINE (91.49%) AND AN INCREASED SENSITIVITY TOMOXIFLOXACIN (78.72%), VANCOMYCIN (82.97%). FOR ACINETOBACTER STRAINS MOST EFFECTIVEANTIBIOTIC COLISTIN WAS (85.71%) AND INCREASED RESISTANCE TO CIPROFLOXACIN (64.29%). ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE IS INCREASING IN CHRONIC AND ACUTE BACTERIAL SINUSITIS. THEEMERGENCE OF MRSA AND GRAM NEGATIV BACTERIA CAUSING CHRONIC SINUSITIS IS INCREASING.

THE SERONEGATIVE SPONDYLOARTHROPATHIES (SPA) ARE INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATIC DISEASESWITH COMMON CLINICAL FEATURES AND GENETIC SIMILARITIES NOT LIMITED ONLY TO HLA-B27.SEVERAL STUDIES SUGGESTED THAT KILLER CELL IMMUNOLOGLOBULIN-LIKE RECEPTORS (KIR)GENES ARE ONE OF THE NON-MHC GENES ASSOCIATED WITH SPA, ALONG WITH ERAP1 AND IL23R. KIRGENES ENCODE REGULATING RECEPTORS WITH ACTIVATING OR INHIBITORY FUNCTION WHICH AREEXPRESSED BY NATURAL KILLER CELLS (NK) AND SOME OF T LYMPHOCYTES. KIR MOLECULESRECOGNIZE MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX (MHC) CLASS I MOLECULES, MORE PRECISELY,DISTINCT SUBSETS OF HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C AND HLA-G ALLOTYPES, MODULATING THE REACTIVITY OFTHE NK CELL. AN IMBALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVATING AND INHIBITORY KIR ALLELES KIR3DS1 ANDKIR3DL1 IN THE PRESENCE OF CERTAIN HLA-B27 ALLELES (B*2705) MAY CONTRIBUTE TO ANKYLOSINGSPONDYLITIS (AS) PATHOGENESIS. THE RISK OF PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS (PSA) IS INCREASED IN SUBJECTSWITH ACTIVATING KIR2DS1 AND/OR KIR2DS2 GENES PRESENT.THIS ARTICLE UNDERLINES THE IMPORTANCE OF KIR GENES AND THEIR COMPLEX RELATION WITHTHEIR LIGANDS, ESPECIALLY WITH HLA-B27. THIS UNIQUE ENCOUNTER MAY BE DECISIVE FOR THEIMMUNO-INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE SEEN IN AS/SPA.
