Risk factors for oral mucosal pressure injury associated with endotracheal tubes in intensive care unit patients: A single-centre longitudinal study with brief follow-up.

Background: In intensive care units (ICUs), endotracheal tubes (ETTs) cause injury to the oral mucosa through friction and pressure. The incidence and risk factors of oral mucosal pressure injuries (PIs) have gained increasing attention in recent years.

Aim: The study aimed to identify risk factors for oral mucosal PIs associated with ETTs.

Anti-glioma effect of Turkish propolis in C6 cells via regulation of COX-2 and NF-κB mRNA expression and redox homeostasis.

This study aims to determine whether Turkish propolis applied to C6 glioma cells has an anti-glioma effect. To investigate this, C6 glioma cells were treated with propolis extract concentrations of 100, 250 and 500 µg/ml. COX-2 and NF-κB mRNA expressions in the cells were detected by using qPCR.

Assessing the antiandrogenic properties of propyl paraben using the Hershberger bioassay.

Propyl paraben is a widely used preservative in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and foods preventing microbial and fungal contamination. This study was designed to investigate antiandrogenic profiles of propyl paraben following oral doses at 10, 250, and 750 mg kg day to immature male rats using the Hershberger Bioassay. Rats were divided into six groups including solvent control, negative control (0.
