The Effect of Amnion Cell Culture Medium on Wound Healing: An Experimental Animal Study.

Background/objective: Fetal wound repair seems a relatively efficient process when compared to wound repair during adulthood, which may be explained by the effects of the fetal environment. This study examined the effects of an amnion cell culture medium (ACCM) on skin wound healing in a rat experimental model.

Methods: Sixteen adult female Wistar albino rats were used in this experimental animal study (treatment group, n  =  8; control group, n  =  8).

Autologous omentum transposition for regeneration of a renal injury model in rats.

Background: After renal trauma, surgical treatment is vital, but sometimes there may be loss of function due to fibrosis. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of autologous omentum flaps on injured renal tissues in a rat model.

Methods: A total of 30 Wistar albino rats were included and randomly divided equally into a control group and four intervention groups.

Delayed diagnosis and successful management of completely transected common hepatic duct in a blunt multitrauma patient.

Extrahepatic bile duct injuries are very uncommon and easily be missed in multitrauma patients. Patients suffer from bile duct injuries need special approach to this situation. In this report, a case with total transection of common hepatic duct and treatment approach was presented.

Effects of pneumoperitoneum with carbon dioxide on renal and hepatic functions in rats.

Introduction: Laparoscopic surgery is a preferred method based on its many benefits. However, increasing abdominal pressure by CO insufflation during the implementation of this technique poses challenges.

Aim: To determine the degree of renal and liver injury that occurs in a pneumoperitoneum (PP) model of prolonged CO insufflation.

Comparison of the Effect of Local and Systemic Injection of Resveratrol on Cutaneous Wound Healing in Rats.

. To compare the effect of local and systemic injection of resveratrol (RSV) on open cutaneous wound healing. .

Evaluation of the Effects of Preoperative Dexamethasone Administration on Postoperative Patient Comfort in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

Objective Postoperative recovery process following laparoscopic cholecystectomy depends on many factors such as pain, fatigue and exhaustion. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the administration of dexamethasone, a glucocorticoid, has positive effects of postoperative patient comfort in patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our clinic. Methods Patients who presented to the general surgery clinic of our hospital and scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to cholelithiasis were included in this study.

A previously diagnosed mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy patient presenting with perforated ileal diverticulitis.

Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy is an autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterized clinically by severe gastrointestinal dysmotility; cachexia; ptosis, opthalmoparesis or both; peripheral neuropathy; leukoencephalopathy and mitochondrial abnormalities in muscle. Gastrointestinal dysmotility causes intestinal pseudo-obstruction and small intestinal diverticula. In this case report, we present a previously diagnosed 32-year-old female mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy syndrome patient who was hospitalized and operated due to ileal diverticulitis perforation and died due to postoperative respiratory complications, and we discuss the characteristic manifestations of the disease.
