Background: Chemokines and their receptors, which regulate lymphoid organ development and immune cell trafficking, are integral to the mechanisms underlying viral control, hepatic inflammation, and liver damage in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection. This study explores the potential relationship between serum chemokine levels/polymorphisms and hepatitis C infection in affected individuals, with a particular focus on their utility as biomarkers across different stages of fibrosis.
Methods And Results: Serum levels of the chemokines CXCL11, CXCL12, and CXCL16 were measured in patients with mild/moderate and advanced fibrosis due to CHC, as well as in healthy controls, using the ELISA method.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a recurrent inflammatory, demyelinating disease of the white matter in central nervous system (CNS). The number of MS patients is increasing, but the diagnostic process is still quite difficult, costly and requires combination of several methods. Myelin basic protein (MBP) makes up to 30 % of the myelin in CNS.

Methods: In this study, 24 Sprague Dawley female albino rats weighing between 200-250 grams were used. Three groups consisting of randomly selected 8 rats were formed, as study, sham and control groups.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated tongue reconstruction outcomes in 7 patients with tongue cancer who underwent partial glossectomy using primary closure and local tissue rearrangement.
- None of the patients experienced lasting speech or significant swallowing issues, even with a reduction of 33% to 50% in tongue length.
- The findings suggest that microvascular flaps are unnecessary for patients with less than 50% tongue length reduction after partial glossectomy.
Purpose: This study aims to measure the paraspecific neutralization capacity of nationally produced HSGM polyvalent snake antivenom (HSGM-PSAV), produced using Macrovipera lebetina obtusa, Montivipera xanthina, and Vipera ammodytes montandoni venom, against the lethal effect of the venom of Montivipera wagneri, which is endemic to the Eastern Black Sea and Eastern Anatolia regions of Turkey.
Methods: The neutralization capacity of HSGM-PSAV against the lethal effect of M. wagneri venom was studied using the potency determination testing method specified in the Turkish and European Pharmacopoeia.
