Angiotensin II induces soluble fms-Like tyrosine kinase-1 release via calcineurin signaling pathway in pregnancy
No full textMaternal endothelial dysfunction in preeclampsia is associated with increased soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), a circulating antagonist of vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor. Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a potent vasoconstrictor that increases concomitant with sFlt-1 during pregnancy. Therefore, we speculated that Ang II may promote the expression of sFlt-1 in pregnancy. Here we report that infusion of Ang II significantly increases circulating levels of sFlt-1 in pregnant mice, thereby demonstrating that Ang II is a regulator of sFlt-1 secretion in vivo. Furthermore, Ang II stimulated sFlt-1 production in a dose- and time-dependent manner from human villous explants and cultured trophoblasts but not from endothelial cells, suggesting that trophoblasts are the primary source of sFlt-1 during pregnancy. As expected, Ang II-induced sFlt-1 secretion resulted in the inhibition of endothelial cell migration and in vitro tube formation. In vitro and in vivo studies with losartan, small interfering RNA specific for calcineurin and FK506 demonstrated that Ang II-mediated sFlt-1 release was via Ang II type 1 receptor activation and calcineurin signaling, respectively. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized regulatory role for Ang II on sFlt-1 expression in murine and human pregnancy and suggest that elevated sFlt-1 levels in preeclampsia may be caused by a dysregulation of the local renin/angiotensin system
Święty Jan Paweł II o duchowości laikatu
No full textThe author of this article shows input of saint John Paul II in the understanding of spirituality of lay people. The article proves that the papal teaching about the laity is a continuation of the teaching of The Second Vatican Council and also brings some new elements.

In this article, the author deals with the question of pastoral implications in the encyclical Sollicitudo rei socialis issued in 1987. The first part discusses the origins and socio – political context of the papal document. The second part presents the main ideas contained in the encyclical. The author analyses the range of problems present in the modern world, shows the integral understanding of human development and indicates the relationship between solidarity and peace. In the third and final part of the article, the author emphasizes the relevance of various aspects of the message contained in the encyclical and formulates particular indications for pastoral work.

Historia Eucharystii w pierwszych wiekach chrześcijaństwa w świetle wybranych źródeł (II–IV w.)
No full textThe author presents in his article the Eucharist in early centuries of the Church in the light of the most important sources available today. He shows that it is a reality very rich in the theological, liturgical and pastoral aspects. The author analyzes and presents the most important documents such as the Didache. Science of the Twelve Apostles (I/II), Apology of St. Justin Martyr (150), Apostolic Tradition of St. Hippolytus of Rome (215), Records of Martyrs. The martyrs of the Sunday Eucharist in Abitene (304) and Apostolic Constitutions with the so called “klementynian” mass (380), which division into the mass of the catechumens (currently liturgy of the word) and the mass of the faithful (now the liturgy of the Eucharist) survived to the new Roman Missal (1970) edited by the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965). Analyzed by the author of this article the most important source of the Eucharistic of the early centuries of the Church (II–IV c), confirms the teaching of pope St. John Paul II (1978–2005), that “the Eucharist, understood as Christ’s saving presence in the community of the faithful and its spiritual food, is the most precious possession which the Church has on the roads of history” (John Paul II, encyclical “Ecclesia de Eucharistia”
Wolność, władza i wspólnota w świetle nauczania II Soboru Watykańskiego
No full textThe author assumes that the power and freedom aren’t often well understood, and thus they cannot perform the appropriate functions and suitably shape human life in the community. The author proposes therefore reflection on issues referring to freedom and power in the teaching of the Second Vatican Council. The teaching is the basis of a proper understanding of sacra potestas that is an indispensable part of the saving mission of the Church, which is addressed to the human. The author believes however, that the indications formulated in the teaching of the Council could greatly enrich today’s view on the power and the ways of governing in the politics.Autor wychodzi z założenia, iż władza i wolność bardzo często nie są właściwie rozumiane, a tym samym nie mogą spełniać właściwych funkcji i odpowiednio kształtować wspólnotowego wymiaru życia ludzkiego. Dlatego proponuje refleksję nad kwestiami wolności i władzy w nauczaniu II Soboru Watykańskiego. Nauczanie to stanowi podstawę właściwego rozumienia sacra potestas, która jest niezastąpionym elementem misji zbawczej Kościoła wobec człowieka. Autor jest jednak przekonany, że formułowane w nauczaniu soborowym wskazania mogłyby w znacznym stopniu ubogacić dzisiejsze spojrzenie na władzę i sposoby jej sprawowania w dziedzinie polityki
Johannes Paul II. als moralische Autorität in der polnischen Gesellschaft
No full textThe Author of the article assumes that the charisma of John Paul II – at least in the symbolic sphere – has impeded intensifying trends in Polish society toward moral permissivism and relativism in everyday life. In Polish society, the image of John Paul II remains not only as a moral authority and a model, but above all, he is seen as a person who throughout his whole life proved his worth as someone important to the core of Polish society. As an authority linked to the sacred sphere, he was, at the same time very human. Even among those who believe that in Polish society there are essentially no authorities left to look up to, one can find many people who are still inclined to recognize the Polish Pope as a significant moral authority. There is no doubt that John Paul II had a positive influence on the religiosity and general image of the Church in Poland, even though it is somehow difficult to measure that empirically. Experiences related to the Pope’s illness, and later, to his death had a significant impact on many Poles from throughout society. One can question whether Polish Catholicism with its folk and mass nature will retain its prevailing character, now when Pope John Paul II is gone. Even if the impact of John Paul II on Polish moral and religious awareness will be decreasing, it still will be important and significant for some period of time. The strong impact of this exemplary Polish Pope is also going to slow down the secularization process of Polish society. All sociological data indicate that the influence of John Paul II on religiosity in his homeland will last for years to come, and hence, Poland will probably remain as a “specific case” in Europe with regards to the role religion plays in society
