Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how dental treatments impact salivary oxidative stress markers in young children with severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) compared to those without caries.
- Salivary tests were performed at three time points (before treatment, after restorative care, and after fluoride varnish) on 40 children, and statistical analyses were used to assess differences in oxidative stress and antioxidant levels.
- Results showed that dental treatments reduced harmful oxidative stress markers and increased antioxidant levels in the saliva of children with S-ECC, highlighting the benefits of dental care in managing oral health and oxidative stress.
Excitotoxicity, resulting from excessive accumulation of glutamate in the extracellular space, leads to neuronal cell death. This study investigates the protective effects of Apelin-13 on D-Glutamic acid-induced excitotoxicity in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells, an in-vitro model for neurodegenerative diseases. Unlike the commonly studied L-glutamic acid, this research focuses on D-Glutamic acid to understand its specific impacts.

The aim of this study was to ascertain the prognostic significance of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet indices during hospital admission in cats with feline panleukopenia (FPV). A prospective observational study was conducted on 24 cats diagnosed with FPV. The results of the study demonstrated a significant decrease in NLR, platelet count (PLT), and platelet concentration (PCT) in the FPV survivor group compared to the control group.

Background: This study evaluated the use of metformin or pioglitazone in preventing or reducing the development of post-operative intra-abdominal adhesion (PIAA) by employing histopathological, immunohistochemical, and biochemical analyses in an experimental adhesion model.
Methods: Fifty Wistar-Albino rats were divided into five groups: Group I (Control), Group II (Sham Treatment), Group III (Hy-aluronic Acid), Group IV (Metformin), and Group V (Pioglitazone). Adhesions were induced in the experimental groups, except for the sham group, using the scraping method.
Article Synopsis
- Copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and their ratio (Cu/Zn) can help predict outcomes in cats with feline panleukopenia (FPV), akin to studies in human gastrointestinal disorders.
- In a study, cats with FPV that survived had higher levels of Cu and serum amyloid A (SAA) but lower levels of Zn and cobalamin compared to controls; non-survivors had similar high Cu and SAA but even lower cobalamin levels.
- Cobalamin and SAA showed strong predictive value for survival in FPV cats, with high sensitivity and specificity, indicating they are effective biomarkers for prognosis.
