Article Synopsis
  • Fracture healing involves complex interactions among physical, biological, and chemical factors, and although research is growing, its mechanism is not completely understood.
  • This study examined the effects of the COVID-19 treatments favipiravir and hydroxychloroquine on fracture healing using 48 male Wistar rats, which were analyzed at the 2nd and 4th weeks for radiological and histological changes.
  • Results showed a significant early negative impact of favipiravir on bone repair, but potential positive effects later on, while hydroxychloroquine did not significantly influence fracture healing.

Background And Purpose: Liver fibrosis is a wound-healing reaction which is the main cause of chronic liver diseases worldwide. The activated hepatic stellate cell (aHSC) is the main driving factor in the development of liver fibrosis. Inhibiting autophagy of aHSC can prevent the progression of liver fibrosis, but inhibiting autophagy of other liver cells has opposite effects.

Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi, Başakşehir Çam ve Sakura Şehir Hastanesi, Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji Anabilim Dalı, İstanbul, Türkiye.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) sulfate causes oxidative stress (OS) and its effect on fracture healing in an experimental rat model.

Materials And Methods: In this experimental study, open diaphyseal femur fractures were induced in 24 eight-week-old male rats (mean weight: 225±25 g; range, 200 to 250 g) and then fixed with K-wire. The rats were divided into four groups: HCQ-2, control-2 (C-2), HCQ-4, and control-4 (C-4).
