Objective: Newborn infants, particularly preterm infants, are at greater risk of oxidative stress because of an imbalance between high oxidant loads and immature antioxidant defenses. In several studies, the activities of serum paraoxonase (PON) and arylesterase (ARE) have been found to decline in patients under increased oxidative stress. We investigated the relationships between PON-1 and ARE with fasting and postprandial in premature newborns in this study.
Patients And Methods: Serum paraoxonase-1 and arylesterase levels were investigated in premature infants less than 37 weeks, after birth while they were fasting and postprandial.
Results: The paraoxonase-1 and arylesterase values of infants in fasting were significantly lower than the values in postprandial (for paraoxonase-1, p = 0.034, 0.002, and 0.002, respectively; for arylesterase, p < 0.001, 0.002, and p < 0.001, respectively).
Conclusions: In premature infants, paraoxonase-1 and arylesterase values are increased in postprandial and reduced in fasting, showing that these neonates are subjected to oxidative stress. Thus, starting feeding as soon as possible in premature newborns is vital to protect them from oxidative damage.

Purpose: To investigate oxidative stress markers in tears and serum of patients with ocular rosacea and to examine their association with both ocular surface parameters and cutaneous rosacea subtypes.
Methods: This prospective study includes rosacea patients with ocular involvement and healthy controls. We performed ophthalmological examination of all participants and collected tear breakup time (TBUT), Schirmer, Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scores.
High-density lipoprotein dysfunction in carotid artery stenosis.

High density lipoprotein (HDL) is well established to have an athero-protective role under normal conditions; however, pro-inflammatory alteration of HDL proteins may transform the HDL particle into a dysfunctional molecule. Our aim was to investigate HDL dysfunction by measuring enzyme-based markers in carotid artery stenosis (CAS). All participants underwent duplex ultrasound and 52 subjects diagnosed with CAS and 51 subjects who had no significant stenosis (as controls) were enrolled in this study.
