Expression of sirtuins 1 in placenta, umbilical cord, and maternal serum of patients diagnosed with placenta accreta spectrum.

Objective: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is defined as the attachment of the placenta to the uterine wall in varying degrees. However, the studies have explored that the underlying molecular mechanisms of the PAS are very limited. Sirtuins 1 (SIRT1) is associated with placental development by controlling trophoblast cell invasion and remodeling of spiral arteries.

Expression of sirtuin 2 and 7 in placenta accreta spectrum.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the expression levels of sirtuin 2 and sirtuin 7 in the placenta accreta spectrum to reveal their role in its pathogenesis.

Methods: A total of 30 placenta accreta spectrum, 20 placenta previa, and 30 controls were experienced. The sirtuin 2 and sirtuin 7 expression levels in the placentas of these groups were determined by Western blot.

Clinical Comparison of Anterior or Posterior Placental Location with Placenta Previa and History of Previous Cesarean Section Delivery.

BACKGROUND Placenta previa is defined as a placenta that grows from the anterior or posterior wall of the uterus and covers the cervix. The incidence of placenta previa has been increasing in recent years. It is thought that bleeding is more common during surgery in cases with anterior placenta that is closing the cervix.

Factors Associated with Placenta Previa: A Retrospective, Single-Center Study in Turkey.

BACKGROUND The incidence of placenta previa is gradually increasing. The major risk factor is a history of cesarean section (CS). Such patients may experience severe bleeding during pregnancy and surgery.

Are serum Netrin-4 levels predictive of preeclampsia?

Objective: To investigate the levels of anti-angiogenic factors, namely sFlt-1 and Netrin-4, in patients with preeclampsia (PE).

Material And Methods: Cord-blood (UC) sFlt-1 and Netrin-4 concentrations were measured in 30 patients with severe PE, 30 patients with PE and 30 control infants and their mothers (MS).

Results: Maternal sFlt-1 levels were significantly higher in the severe PE and PE groups than in the control group.

Hypogastric artery ligation in postpartum haemorrhage: a ten-year experience at a tertiary care centre.

This study investigated patients who underwent bilateral hypogastric artery ligation (BHAL) due to postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). Patients who underwent BHAL because of PPH following a conservative treatment were included in this study. Placental abnormalities were referred to as placenta accreta.

Rudimentary horn pregnancy - ten years of experience.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate data on early diagnosis and therapeutic management of rudimentary horn pregnancy (RHP).

Material And Methods: Patients diagnosed with RHP at a tertiary center between for two periods of 2008-2012 and 2013-2018 were analysed retrospectively. We obtained information of patients from hospital electronic archive registration system.

A new technique in laparoscopic abdominal access (Evsen Method, Modified Veress Technique).

Objectives: The most important step in laparoscopic surgery is to safely establish the pneumoperitoneum, especially since approximately half of the complications occur during the initial entry into the abdomen. There is a distinct need to modify the available methods to reduce therate of adverse events in laparoscopic entry. In this study, a modified Veress technique (MVT) or Evsen method is introduced.

Amniotic fluid paraoxonase-1 activity, thyroid hormone concentration and oxidant status in neural tube defects.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between neural tube defects and paraoxonase-1 activity in amniotic fluid. We studied total oxidant status, total antioxidant capacity, paraoxonase-1 activity and thyroid hormone amniotic fluid concentration in fetuses with neural tube defects.

Methods: The present study was performed at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and the Department of Clinical Biochemistry of Dicle University between September 2011 and June 2013.

Serum levels of neopterin, inflammatory markers and oxidative stress indicators in hyperemesis gravidarum.

Aim: To investigate whether serum levels of neopterin and inflammatory markers including C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and oxidative status indicators were altered in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) compared to asymptomatic pregnant women.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed including 30 pregnant women with HG (mean age: 30.67 ± 6.

Single intrauterine demise in twin pregnancies: Analysis of 29 cases.

Objective: To evaluate the maternal and fetal demographic features and clinical aspects of twin pregnancies with single intrauterine demise.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in Dicle University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics between January 2008 and December 2013. There were a total of 594 twin deliveries in our hospital between the given dates.

Should we add unilateral sacrospinous ligament fixation to vaginal hysterectomy in management of stage 3 and stage 4 pelvic organ prolapse?

Objective: To compare ''vaginal hysterectomy alone'' with ''vaginal hysterectomy with prophylactic unilateral sacrospinous ligament fixation'' in terms of intraoperative complications and 1-year anatomic outcomes and symptoms in patients aged over 50 years who presented with stage 3 or 4 pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Materials And Methods: Thirty-five patients underwent vaginal hysterectomy alone and 32 patients underwent vaginal hysterectomy with unilateral sacrospinous ligament fixation because of benign pathology between January 2012, and June 2014, were retrospectively analyzed in this study. The patients' demographic data and preoperative and intraoperative findings were obtained from the hospital records and noted.

Oxidant/antioxidant status, paraoxonase activity, and lipid profile in plasma of ovariectomized rats under the influence of estrogen, estrogen combined with progesterone, and genistein.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate whether estradiol (E2), E2 combined with progesterone (Prog) (E2/Prog), and genistein (Gen) treatment had antioxidative and anti-hyperlipidemic effects in the plasma of ovariectomized (OVX) rats.

Materials And Methods: Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups. Rats in all groups, except for those in a sham group, underwent bilateral ovariectomy under general anesthesia.

Honokiol decreases intra-abdominal adhesion formation in a rat model.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of honokiol, a natural molecule that was shown to have antioxidant effects, in prevention of intra-abdominal adhesion formation in a rat model.

Material And Method: This study was conducted on a total of 40 non-pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats, which were divided into 4 groups as follows: sham, control, saline, and honokiol groups. Both uterine horns of the rats in control, saline, and honokiol groups were exposed and a 2-cm segment of the anti-mesenteric surface of both uterine horns was traumatized by a scalpel.
