Investigating the Relationship of Serum CD163, YKL40 and VILIP-1 Levels with Autism Severity and Language-cognitive Development in Preschool Children with Autism.

Objective: This study aimed to compare serum levels of CD163, YKL-40, and VILIP-1 between children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and healthy controls, while also investigating their association with the severity of ASD and language development.

Methods: The study included 40 ASD-diagnosed patients (aged 18-72 months) and 40 age-matched healthy controls. Childhood Autism Rating Scale, Preschool Language Scale-4, and Ankara Development Screening Inventory were administered to children in the ASD group.

Early testing and grade of the reaction are affecting factors of skin test positivity in β-Lactam allergies.

β-Lactams are the most widely used antibiotic family in the world. Nevertheless, they also stand out as the primary culprits for inducing drug hypersensitivity reactions (HSR). Between May 2018 and March 2023, patients with suspected HSRs to β-lactams, who underwent skin tests (ST), were retrospectively screened.

Protective effects of lupeol in rats with renal ischemia‑reperfusion injury.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by ischemia and, exogenous or endogenous nephrotoxic agents poses a serious health issue. AKI is seen in 1% of all hospital admissions, 2-5% of hospitalizations and 67% of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The in-hospital mortality rates for AKI is 40-50, and >50% for ICU patients.

Evaluation of therapeutic use of a combination of pentoxifylline and vitamin E in radiation-induced renal fibrosis.

Radiation-induced renal fibrosis (RIRF) is a progressive, irreversible condition causing chronic kidney disease. Pentoxifylline (PTX) and vitamin E may mitigate radiation-induced damage and fibrosis. This study assesses their effectiveness.
