The article examines the meaning of the other for Kant's idea of autonomy. Autonomy is interpreted, in relation to the universal demand of the ethical, as governing the will by principles. Autonomy as principled self-determination by means of the practical law cannot be understood as the standpoint of an isolated subject. Instead we must understand it as a standpoint taken towards others, which we treat as the aspect of spontaneity, and at the same time as a standpoint taken thanks to others, since others make possible its awakening and development - here the aspect of receptivity is discussed. In this two-way relation between autonomy (enabled by a self-determining goverment by principle) and the other, the character of dialogical mutuality is exhibited: autonomy is the principled considerateness of a good will towards others, and, in order for it to be such, it must be initiated by others., Ondřej Sikora., and Obsahuje poznámky a bibliografii
Dysfunkce autonomního nervového systému patří k častým klinickým projevům roztroušené sklerózy (RS). Incidence autonomní dysfunkce (AD) u pacientů s RS se v různých studiích pohybuje mezi 16 a 80 % a jednoznačně se zvyšuje s délkou trvání RS a progredující disabilitou. Může se však projevit v kterékoli fázi demyelinizačního onemocnění a dokonce může být jeho prvním klinickým projevem. AD významně ovlivňuje kvalitu života pacientů s RS a přispívá k celkové disabilitě. Přesto postižení autonomního nervového systému patří mezi stále relativně poddiagnostikované symptomy tohoto onemocnění. Nejčastějším a nejzávažnějším typem AD u pacientů s RS je narušení funkce kardiovaskulárního a/nebo urogenitálního systému. Méně častá je dysfunkce gastrointestinální, sudomotorická či narušení pupilomotoriky. Autonomní (především kardiovaskulární) dysfunkce u pacientů s RS také úzce souvisí s rozvojem únavy. Cílem tohoto sdělení je poskytnout přehled jednotlivých typů AD u pacientů s RS a možností jejich diagnostiky., Autonomic nervous system dysfunction (AD) represents a frequent clinical presentation of multiple sclerosis (MS). According to published studies, the incidence of AD in MS patients ranges between 16 and 80% and gradually increases with the length of the demyelinating disease and with the progression of disability. However, AD can occur in any phase of MS and can even represent its first symptom in some patients. Autonomic dysfunction has a significant negative impact on the quality of life in MS patients and contributes to overall disability. Even so, autonomic nervous system dysfunction is frequently underdiagnosed in patients with multiple sclerosis. Cardiovascular and urogenital dysfunction are the most frequent types of AD in MS patients with the highest impact on their clinical status and the quality of life. Less frequently, gastrointestinal, sudomotor or pupilomotor dysfunction can be found. Autonomic (in particular cardiovascular) dysfunction in multiple sclerosis is closely related to fatigue, another frequent clinical symptom in MS patients. The aim of this paper is to sum up the spectrum of symptoms of autonomic dysfunction in multiple sclerosis and its diagnostic tools. Key words: multiple sclerosis – autonomic nervous system diseases – orthostatic intolerance –urinary incontinence – urinary retention –sexual dysfunction – gastrointestinal dysfunction – sweating The authors declare they have no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study.

We present data supporting the hypothesis that the lysosomalautophagy pathway is involved in the degradation of intracellular triacylglycerols in the liver. In primary hepatocytes cultivated in the absence of exogenous fatty acids (FFA), both inhibition of autophagy flux (asparagine) or lysosomal activity (chloroquine) decreased secretion of VLDL (very low density lipoproteins) and formation of FFA oxidative products while the stimulation of autophagy by rapamycine increased some of these parameters. Effect of rapamycine was completely abolished by inactivation of lysosomes. Similarly, when autophagic activity was influenced by cultivating the hepatocytes in “starving” (amino-acid poor medium) or “fed” (serum-supplemented medium) conditions, VLDL secretion and FFA oxidation mirrored the changes in autophagy being higher in starvation and lower in fed state. Autophagy inhibition as well as lysosomal inactivation depressed FFA and DAG (diacylglycerol) formation in liver slices in vitro. In vivo, intensity of lysosomal lipid degradation depends on the formation of autophagolysosomes, i.e. structures bringing the substrate for degradation and lysosomal enzymes into contact. We demonstrated that lysosomal lipase (LAL) activity in liver autophagolysosomal fraction was up-regulated in fasting and down-regulated in fed state together with the increased translocation of LAL and LAMP2 proteins from lysosomal pool to this fraction. Changes in autophagy intensity (LC3-II/LC3-I ratio) followed a similar pattern., V. Škop ... [et al.]., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
