Article Synopsis
- The study examined Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) levels in children with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) to explore its relationship with thyroid hormones and autoantibodies.
- It included 39 patients with HT and 41 control subjects, finding no significant difference in MBL levels between the HT group and controls, or among different thyroid function categories within the HT group.
- The results suggest that MBL levels remain unchanged in HT patients, indicating that further investigation is necessary to understand MBL's role in autoimmune thyroid diseases.

March 2022
Background: Osteoporosis (OP) is the most common type of systemic bone disease characterized by low bone mass and micro-structure deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility and fracture risk. Nitric oxide (NO), produced by the enzyme endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in endothelial cells, has considerable effects on bone cell function. The objective of this case-control study was to investigate the potential association between the eNOS gene Variable Number Tandem Repeat (VNTR) variant and susceptibility of OP, in Turkish postmenopausal female patients.

Objective: Although stents reduce the restenosis rate, stent restenosis continues to be a major problem and the optimal treatment of stent restenosis is still controversial. In this study, we aimed to investigate the angiographic recurrent stent restenosis rate at 6-12 months after successful cutting balloon angioplasty (CBA) for the bare metal stent restenosis.
Methods: Thirty patients (mean age: 57.
