Evaluation of the Vascular Network with Optical Coherens Tomography Angiography in Multiple Sclerosis and its Relationship with the Clinic.

Introduction: Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) is an examination that is increasingly used in neurodegenerative diseases. This study in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients; It aims to reveal the presence of vascular involvement in the retina and optic nerve and its relationship with disease-related clinical parameters with the help of OCTA.

Methods: One eye of 49 MS patients and 28 healthy controls were included in the study.

Vinpocetine Ameliorates Neuronal Injury After Cold-Induced Traumatic Brain Injury in Mice.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), also known as intracranial injury, is a common condition with the highest incidence rate among neurodegenerative disorders and poses a significant public health burden. Various methods are used in the treatment of TBI, but the effects of cold-induced traumatic brain injury have not been thoroughly studied. In this context, vinpocetine (VPN), derived from Vinca minor, exhibits notable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Comparison of Dye Adsorption of Chitosan and Polyethylenimine Modified Bentonite Clays: Optimization, Isotherm, and Kinetic Studies.

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of modifying calcium bentonite (Bent-Ca) clay with two cationic polymers, chitosan (Chi) and polyethylenimine (PEI), on the removal of remazol black B (RB-B) dye from an aqueous solution. The samples were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The fractional factorial design of 2 was applied to investigate the effects of pH, temperature, amount of adsorbent, initial dye concentration, contact time, and shaking rate on the adsorption process.

Highly sensitive rapid determination of orotic acid in urine samples using a field-amplified sample stacking approach in capillary electrophoresis coupled with contactless conductivity detection.

Orotic aciduria is a severe, hereditary, life-threatening condition, particularly in newborns. An increased orotic acid (OA) content in urine may be a strong indicator of this condition. In this study, we developed a rapid, simple, highly sensitive diagnostic method for use in monitoring the OA levels in urine samples, which were successfully determined using capillary electrophoresis combined with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (CE-CD).

Separation and quantification of the urinary enantiomers of 2-hydroxyglutaric acid by capillary electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection: Application to the diagnosis of D- and L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria.

2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria is an inherited neurometabolic disorder with two major types: D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria and L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. An easy and fast capillary electrophoresis system combined with a capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection method was developed for the enantioseparation and determination of D- and L-2-hydroxyglutaric acid in urine. D- and L-2-hydroxyglutaric acids were separated using vancomycin as the chiral selector.
