Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the preoperative and postoperative oxidative status of children with chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy.
Materials And Methods: The study comprised 25 patients with indications for tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy following a diagnosis of chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy and 25 age-gender matched control patients were included to the study. Blood samples were taken from the patients preoperatively and at four weeks postoperatively. Preoperative and postoperative serum total oxidant (TOS) and total antioxidant (TAS) levels were measured and the oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated.
Results: The serum total oxidant level and oxidant stress index values in the preoperative and postoperative periods of the patients were found to be significantly high compared to those of the control group. While the preoperative serum total oxidant level values were found to be significantly high compared to the postoperative values, no statistical significance was found between the total antioxidant and oxidative stress index values.
Conclusion: The development of chronic adenotonsillar hypertrophy plays a role in oxidative status and therefore, to neutralize high levels of oxidants in patients, the use of antioxidants for a period preoperatively and postoperatively is thought to be necessary.

The present study aimed to determine the potential of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carbohydrate antigen (CA)19-9 and CA242 in predicting recurrence/metastasis of gastric cancer in patients following radical gastrectomy. The clinical data of 368 patients with stage I-III gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy were analyzed, and CEA, AFP, CA19-9 and CA242 levels were detected prior to surgery and 6-12 months following surgery. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to evaluate the potential risk factors for post-operative recurrence/metastasis of gastric cancer, and the predictive value of CEA, AFP, CA19-9 and CA242 levels was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC).

Neuroendocrine tumors (NENs) originate from neuroendocrine cells and predominantly occur in the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and pancreas. Although the liver is commonly involved in NEN metastasis, primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumors (PHNETs) are rare. Herein, we report a case of a 52-year-old female who presented with slowly enlarging, cystic, multiple PHNETs.

Objectives This study aimed to identify the etiology and the direction of dislocation of the natural crystalline lens or intraocular lens (IOL) in IOL intrascleral fixation surgery and to determine the change in intraocular pressure (IOP) after surgery. Methods We retrospectively investigated the diagnosis, direction of lens and IOL dislocation, and IOP before and after surgery (preoperatively and one day, one week, and one month postoperatively) in 236 eyes from 228 patients who underwent IOL intrascleral fixation at Chiba University Hospital between February 2015 and September 2020. Results IOL intrascleral fixation was performed in 48 (20.
