Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to analyze oxidative and antioxidative markers in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) compared to healthy controls, including data from 30 studies.
- Results indicated that RAS patients had significantly lower activities of certain antioxidants, like erythrocyte superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, and total antioxidant status in serum, while they exhibited increased levels of oxidative stress markers such as serum malondialdehyde.
- Despite these differences, some antioxidant levels and vitamins (like E and C) were comparable between RAS patients and healthy individuals, suggesting ongoing oxidative stress plays a significant role in RAS pathology, though the exact causes remain unclear.
Background: Leishmaniasis is one of the most important infectious illnesses around the world. Given the high commonness of this disease, specifically its skin type in Iran and due to the role of the Leishman bodies in diagnosis, the aim of present study was evaluating the expression of two CD1a and CD68 markers in cutaneous leishmaniasis lesions with and without Leishman bodies.
Methods: In this case-control study, 70 skin samples of patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (35 patients with Leishman body as case group and 35 patients without Leishman boy as control group) were investigated during 2018-2019.
