Living long time on the territory of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (in contemporary Vilnus), he wrote a description of the Kyiv religious caves, which was published in 1675 in Jena. The purpose of this research is to contribute to the further understanding and interpretation of the church history and inter-confessional relations on the territory on the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the middle of the 17th century, and its later influence on historical and cultural development. Herbinius, being deeply connected with the West-European Protestant world, and at the same time, living in multi-cultural and multi-religious Vilnius, tried to maneuver between the religious tolerance and confessional loyalty, the adherence to the ideas of German reformation and a personal friendship with the Orthodox clergy. The methodology of this work includes historical, inter-confessional, heuristic, biographical, reader-orientated, and linguistic approaches, textual, contextual, and comparative analysis. This article has shown that the Protestant author percepted and treated the Orthodox Church in a very positive way: Church customs, canonical law, and discipline, clergy, and even monasticism did not provoke any criticism from his side. However, on the questions of iconolatry and confessional exclusivism of the Orthodox Church Herbinius could not refrain from criticism. They evidently contradicted his views on real Christian piety and religious tolerance.展开更多

Methods Results In Group Ⅰ, frequencies of the alleles were 0.648 and 0.352 in codon 127; 0.972 and 0.028 in codon 167;0.817 and 0.183 in codon 347. Two common alleles were 0.941 and 0.059 in codon 360. The results indicated that cases of codon 127 heterozygotes had a significantly higher serum TC level and cases of apoA IV Ser127 homozygotes kept a markedly low TG level. Both homozygotes and heterozygotes which carried apoA IV His 360 exhibited a significantly higher concentration of TC in comparing with that of apoA IV Gln 360 homozygotes. The data from Group Ⅱ showed that the allele frequency of His 360 had a significant difference between patients and controls. Conclusions Certain polymorphic sites of apoA IV gene might influence the serum lipid levels in both healthy persons and hyperlipidemic patients. His 360 polymorphic position might have a relationship with the development of hyperlipidemia.展开更多
