Therapeutic effects of resveratrol and β-carotene on L-arginine-induced acute pancreatitis through oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways in rats.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a severe inflammatory condition affecting the pancreas, often leading to systemic inflammation and organ dysfunction. This study evaluated the effects of resveratrol (RES) and β-carotene (βC) on L-arginine-induced AP in rats. Forty-eight male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into six groups: Control (C), RES (20 mg/kg), βC (50 mg/kg), AP, AP + RES, and AP + βC.

Incompatibility of Lacrimal Syringing Test with Dacryoscintigraphy in Patients Undergoing Successful Dacryocystorhinostomy Surgery.

 The aim of our study was to evaluate the compatibility of lacrimal syringe test with dacryoscintigraphy (DSG) in the postoperative evaluation of external dacryocystorhinostomy (Ext-DCR) surgery.  Thirty eyes of 30 patients suffering from unilateral epiphora with discharge and showing complete obstruction on lacrimal irrigation test were included in the study. Patients with dysfunctional lacrimal pump function, revision surgery, partial obstruction, and ocular surface diseases were not included in the study.
