Trace element, antioxidant and oxidant levels in spinal cord injury: different perspective on the effects of valproic acid.

Objective: One of the most pronounced phenomena of spinal cord injury (SCI) pathology is various changes caused by oxidative stress due to secondary damage. In recent years, it has been understood that valproic acid (VPA) has neuroprotective properties other than its clinical effect. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a change in antioxidant activity and trace the element level due to SCI-induced secondary damage, and to examine whether VPA has an effect on this change.

Coexistence of TERT C228T mutation and MALAT1 dysregulation in primary glioblastoma: new prognostic and therapeutic targets.

: This study was designed to conduct molecular classification based on , and changes in pediatric and adult primary glioblastoma (GB) and to analyze the potential interaction of LncRNA MALAT1 in the determined homogeneous subgroups. We analyzed the expression profiles of and MALAT1 using the qRT-PCR method and and mutation status using DNA sequencing analysis in 85 primary pediatric and adult GB patients. mutation was observed in 5 (5.

Long noncoding RNA MALAT1 may be a prognostic biomarker in IDH1/2 wild-type primary glioblastomas.

Primary glioblastoma (GB) is the most aggressive type of brain tumors. While mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genes are frequent in secondary GBs and correlate with a better prognosis, most primary GBs are IDH wild-type. Recent studies have shown that the long noncoding RNA metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript-1 (MALAT1) is associated with aggressive tumor phenotypes in different cancers.
