Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the preventive effects of amifostine and melatonin oxidatively, biochemically and histomorphometrically in rats with radiotherapy-induced experimental periodontitis.
Methods: 40 female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups: Control, experimental periodontitis (Ep), Ep + radiotherapy (Ep + Rt), Ep + Rt + amifostine (Ep + Rt + Ami), Ep + Rt + melatonin (Ep + Rt + Mel). The day after induction of periodontitis by ligature, a single dose of 5 Gy radiotherapy was administered.
Sepsis is an exaggerated immune response resulting from systemic inflammation, which can damage tissues and organs. Acute kidney injury has been detected in at least one-third of patients with sepsis. Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury increases the risk of a secondary infection.

- The study aimed to evaluate how ozone and trimetazidine influence intestines after ischemia-reperfusion injury by examining endoplasmic reticulum stress.
- Forty rats were divided into five groups including a control, ozone-treated, ischemia-reperfusion injury group, and two experimental groups receiving either trimetazidine or ozone after the injury.
- Results showed that both treatments reduced markers of oxidative stress and intestinal damage, with the ozone-treated group displaying the best outcomes in terms of lower injury scores and higher antioxidant levels.
The use of mobile phone is increasing around the world. Although it is beneficial in terms of communication, the electromagnetic radiations emitted by mobile phones may cause undesirable biological effects on the human body. In practical use, the tissue with which mobile phones come into most and are closest is the parotid gland.
