Constructed wetlands (CW) with vertical flow were used to treat leachate from municipal landfills (active and closed, at different concentrations) using a combination of substrates, i.e., gravel, sand and an exchangeable layer, depending on a variant: organic substrate (pine bark) or mineral substrate (zeolite, expanded clay). The systems were planted with Phragmites australis. The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of removal of selected pollutants from landfill leachate in CW using different types of filling. For most parameters, the best reductions were obtained on zeolite substrates. In the investigated CW, reductions were achieved at the levels of: AN 96%-99%; TKN 75%-88.5%; TN 62.5%-70%, TP 84-88% and heavy metals (Zn, Ni, Cu, Cr) 41%-56%.

Medical Biochemistry, Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University Faculty of Medicine, Erzincan, Turkey.
Objectives: Our aim was to evaluate the comparative effects of sertraline and vortioxetine against stress-induced brain injury in rats.
Methods: The rats were assigned to a nonstress group (NSG), stress-treated control (StC), sertraline + stress (SSt), and vortioxetine + stress (VSt) groups. Sertraline and vortioxetine (10 mg/kg) were given orally by gavage to the SSt and VSt groups.

Background: Lymphadenectomy for rectal cancer is clearly defined by total mesorectal excision (TME). The analogous surgical strategy for the colon, the complete mesocolic excision (CME), follows the same principles of dissection in embryologically predefined planes.
Method: This narrative review initially identified key issues related to lymphadenectomy of rectal and colon cancer.

Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Karamanoglu Mehmetbey University, Karaman, Turkey.
The objective of this study is to assess the embryological and morphometric development of the chick cerebrum during specific incubation periods. The cerebrums of 24 Babcock White Leghorn chicks, six each from the 10th, 13th, 16th and 21st days of the incubation period, were used in the study. After removing the heads of fixed embryos from the upper edge of the atlas, the brains were taken out of the cranial cavity.
