Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of various factors, introducing the neutrophil-to-C-reactive protein ratio (NCR) as a potential predictor for post-surgery complications in pancreatic cancer.
- Involving 92 patients who had pancreaticoduodenectomy, the study used statistical analyses to determine important cutoff values and independent risk factors for complications.
- Results showed that low levels of lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio, albumin levels below 3.6, and NCR below 0.28 were significant indicators of overall survival and could guide better postoperative care for pancreatic cancer patients.
Effect of ischemia-reperfusion injury on elafin levels in rat liver.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess serum elafin levels and its impact on liver injury due to ischemia-reperfusion in rats, comparing multiple groups with varying reperfusion durations after 30 minutes of induced liver ischemia.
- Results indicated a significant decrease in elafin levels as reperfusion time increased, with corresponding increases in ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) and total oxidant status (TOS), highlighting deteriorating liver function.
- Histopathologically, a higher grade of liver injury was associated with lower elafin levels and higher levels of liver enzymes (AST, ALT), indicating a relationship between elafin levels and liver damage severity.
Objective: Anastomotic leakage is a complication that creates significant concern in terms of postoperative morbidity and mortality after colorectal surgery. This study aimed to identify variables for detecting anastomotic leakage in those who had open, laparoscopic, or robotic low anterior resection for cancer and to explore their relationships.
Patients And Methods: A total of 283 patients who were diagnosed with rectal cancer and underwent low anterior resection were divided into two groups: those with and without anastomotic leakage.
Optical coherence tomography angiography evaluation of optic disc and retinal vascular densities in obese patients.
Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther
December 2023
Background: To evaluate optic disc and retinal vascular densities in obese patients using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Methods: This study included 27 eyes from 27 obese patients with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥35 who were scheduled for bariatric surgery at the general surgery clinic and 26 eyes from 26 healthy individuals with a BMI of 18.5-24.
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the protective effects of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) on the liver, oxidative parameters, and signal peptide-CUB-epidermal growth factor-like domain-containing proteins 1 and 2 (SCUBE-1 and -2) in an experimental cholestatic hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (IR) model.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four female rats were included in the study and divided into four groups of six rats each. Group 1 was the control group, in which only laparotomy was performed; Group 2 underwent laparotomy and received alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) on a daily basis; bile duct ligation was performed in Group 3; bile duct ligation was performed, and ALA was administered to Group 4.
