The Role of Mannitol and Vitamin D in Ovarian Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats with Acute Abdominal.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of vitamin D and mannitol in an experimental rat ovarian torsion model. Thirty-two female Wistar albino rats were randomly classified as group 1: (sham), group 2: (detorsion), group 3: (detorsion + mannitol), group 4: (detorsion + vitamin D) and group 5: (detorsion + mannitol + vitamin D) (for each group n = 8). All groups were subjected to bilateral adnexal torsion for 2 h except for group 1.

Comparison of preoperative and postoperative serum thiol/disulfide levels in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for morbid obesity.

Objective: Obesity, a prevalent chronic disease, results from an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. The oxidative stress associated with obesity stems from an imbalance between reactive oxygen species and the cell's antioxidant defense system. Oxidative stress can cause many diseases.

Relationship Between Morbidity and Mortality and HbA1c Levels in Diabetic Patients Undergoing Major Surgery.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between the preoperative HbA1c levels and the complications and mortality rates in the postoperative period in patients with diabetes undergoing a major surgical treatment.

Study Design: Descriptive study Place and Duration of Study: Deparment of Internal Medicine, Adana Numune Research and Training Hospital, Turkey, from January 2015 to December 2016.

Methodology: Diabetic patients, who underwent major surgery (a large resection) having preoperative HbA1c levels, were considered.

The effects of TRPM2, TRPM6, TRPM7 and TRPM8 gene expression in hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury.

Objective: Mammalian transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) channels are a form of calcium channels and they transport calcium and magnesium ions. TRPM has eight subclasses including TRPM1-8. TRPM2, TRPM6, TRPM7, TRPM8 are expressed especially in the liver cell.
