Article Synopsis
  • Recent studies reveal that oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death significantly contribute to tissue damage during ovarian transplantation, prompting the investigation of natural compounds like curcumin and gallic acid for their protective effects.
  • In a study involving 42 rats divided into six groups, the effects of these compounds were analyzed post-ovarian transplant through various evaluations, including tissue examination and biochemical tests.
  • Results indicated that curcumin and gallic acid reduced liver and kidney damage caused by the transplant, suggesting their promise as therapeutic agents for minimizing transplant-related injuries.

The objective of this study was to assess the impact of Vitamin E (Vit E) and Vitamin C (Vit C) on markers of the oxidant-antioxidant system, ovarian follicle reserves, and the surface epithelium in autologous intraperitoneal ovarian transplantation conducted in rats. The study aimed to investigate how these antioxidants influence various aspects related to transplantation outcomes, including oxidative stress markers, the preservation of follicle reserves, and the condition of the surface epithelium. A total of 20 adult female Wistar Albino rats were included in the study and randomly assigned to four different groups.

Aim: Postoperative infections (POIs) are associated with prolonged postoperative recovery, delayed adjuvant therapy, psychological problems, and poor long-term outcomes. The study aims to cross-compare the ratio-based preoperative parameters to predict POIs in patients with D2 gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort and single-center study evaluated the data of 293 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy between January 2007 and November 2019 in a tertiary hospital in Istanbul.

To examine the effects of 50 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg of propolis on ovarian folliculogenesis, p53 expression, and serum luteinising hormone (LH) and progesterone (P) levels in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) modeled rats. Twenty-four Wistar female rats were divided into 4 experimental groups: Group 1 (G1, Control), Group 2 (G2, PCOS), Group 3 (G3, PCOS + 50 mg/kg propolis), and Group 4 (G4, PCOS + 150 mg/kg propolis). The PCOS model was induced via the administration of letrozole for 21 days.

The phosphodiesterase (PDE) superfamily comprises enzymes responsible for the cAMP and cGMP degradation to AMP and GMP. PDEs are abundant in the brain, where they are involved in several neuronal functions. High PDE10A abundance was previously observed in the striatum; however its consequences for stroke recovery were unknown.
