Limitation of apoptotic changes and crystal deposition by Tutukon following hyperoxaluria-induced tubular cell injury in rat model.

This study aimed at evaluating the protective effects of a herbal medication (Tutukon) on the hyperoxaluria induced apoptotic changes and crystal deposition in renal tubular epithelium in rat model. 60 male wistar rats were divided into three different groups (each group n: 20). In Group I severe hyperoxaluria was induced by ethylene glycol (EG) (0.

Factors affecting the number of debridements in Fournier's gangrene: our results in 36 cases.

Background: We aimed to evaluate the factors potentially affecting the number of surgical debridements in patients with Fournier's gangrene (FG) who underwent single or multiple operative sessions.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 36 patients with FG. The patients were assigned to one of two groups according to the number of debridements (Group I: single session; Group II: ?2 sessions).
