Introduction: In this retrospective study, it was aimed to evaluate effects of Toll Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) and Toll Like Receptor 2 (TLR 2) gene polymorphisms on clinical outcomes in acute non-biliary pancreatitis patients.
Methods: A total of 108 acute non-biliary pancreatitis patients (ANBP) were retrospectively subjected to the study. Gender, age, number of attacks, hospitalization duration, amylase, lipase, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), leukocyte, C-reactive protein (CRP), total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, Atlanta score, ultrasonography (USG), Computer Tomography (CT) and patient outcome differences between TLR 4 Rs4986790, TLR 4 Rs4986791 and TLR 2 groups were evaluated.
Results: According to TLR 4 Rs4986790 groups, females were significantly common in AA sequence (AA) group with statistically significant difference (p<0.05). Leukocyte mean of AG sequence (AG) group was significantly higher than of AA group (p<0.05). All parameter differences between TLR 4 Rs4986791 and TLR 2 groups were statistically insignificant (p>0.05). there was a statistically significant correlation between TLR 4 Rs4986790 and gender (r=0.265; p<0.01), Leukocyte (r=0.200; p<0.05) and Pseudocyst (r=0.203; p<0.05). TLR 4 Rs4986790 gene polymorphism had significant effect on leukocyte level in acute non-biliary pancreatitis patients (OR: -0.1.900; p<0.05). Predictive value of leukocyte for TLR 4 Rs4986790 was statistically significant (Area Under Curve: 0.624; p<0.05). For 7.65 leukocyte cut off value, sensitivity for AA gene polymorphism was 84.2% and specificity was 40.5.
Conclusion: Although the clinical and outcome parameters of ANBP patients in terms of TLR 4 Rs4986791 and TLR 2 do not show significant differences, research findings point to the diagnostic value of patients' leukocyte parameters in determining TLR-4 Rs4986790 ploimorphism groups.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the therapeutic potential of the novel combination of Bacillus bacteriophage lysin (PlyB) and a synthetic TLR2/4 inhibitor (oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, OxPAPC) in the treatment of experimental Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis.
Methods: C57BL/6J mice were injected with 100 colony forming units (CFUs) Bacillus cereus to induce endophthalmitis. Two hours postinfection, groups of mice were treated with either PlyB, PlyB with OxPAPC, or the groups were left untreated to serve as a control.

In recent years, growing evidence suggests that lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a bacterial endotoxin found in the outer membrane of gram‑negative bacteria, can influence cognitive functions, particularly memory formation and retrieval. However, the underlying mechanisms through which LPS exerts its effects on memory remain incompletely understood. This review used various electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, to identify relevant studies published between 2000 and 2024.

Background Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) manifests as a critical state marked by acute abdominal symptoms, often associated with intestinal barrier dysfunction, exacerbating SAP retroactively. Ganoderic acid A (GAA) demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties in various inflammatory disorders. Nonetheless, its potential therapeutic impact on SAP and the underlying mechanisms remain unexplored.

Sepsis is a serious and life-threatening condition, which can lead to organ failure and death clinically. Abnormally increased cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and inflammatory cytokines are involved in the development and progression of sepsis. Thus, cfDNA clearance and down-regulation of inflammatory factors are essential for the effective treatment of sepsis.

Objective: The rise of drug-resistant bacteria, viruses, and fungi has prompted the search for new drugs without cross-resistance to current treatments. As a result, the aim of this research was to synthesize various types of dihydropyrimidinones heterocyclic compounds and screened them for their antibiotic properties.
Methodology: Newly synthesized dihydropyrimidinone derivatives were characterized spectroscopically using proton NMR (HNMR), and FT-IR.
