The aim of this study is to examine the protective effect of oxyresveratrol (OXY) against isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction in rats, through routine biochemical parameters and oxidative stress parameters that show heart damage. Oxyresveratrol was administered by oral gavage at doses of 10 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, once a day for 5 days. On the fourth and fifth days, 180 mg/kg isoproterenol was administered intraperitoneally to the OXY treatment group and control groups. Twenty-four hours after the last isoproterenol application, blood and heart tissue were taken under anesthesia and transferred to -80 degrees and formalin for biochemical and histopathological studies. CK-MB and TnI levels were measured in serum obtained from blood. In the heart tissue, antioxidant parameters, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and histopathological and stereological evaluations were performed. Oxyresveratrol has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity depending on the dose. Oxyresveratrol showed potent protective effect against isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction. It has been proven that at all doses of oxyresveratrol, statistically, isoproterenol decreased the MDA level, which was one of the oxidative stress markers, compared to the control group, and increased SOD activity and GSH levels. Similar to the biochemically determined parameters, oxyresveratrol treatment was also found to have a protective effect at the cell level, histopathologically and stereologically. All results show that oxyresveratrol has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, especially at a dose of 20 mg/kg, it significantly reduces myocardial damage and this agent has a cardioprotective effect.

Background:  The aim of the present study was to examine the findings of the intraoral examinations of the 12-16 years old novice (control) and elite athletes across the winter sports branches, which were alpine discipline skiing, snowboarding, biathlon, ski jumping, and ice hockey. Besides, the study aimed to determine the intra- and inter-group relationships by comparing the athletes salivary stress biomarker levels at precompetition, during-match, and post-competition stages.

Methods:  Ninety-one athletes (71 elite, 20 novice) participated in our study. Oral health status of the athletes were evaluated. In addition, cortisol levels in the saliva samples obtained at pre-competition (rested before the competition), during-match (just before the start), and post-competition (competition ending moment) stages were measured. The data were analyzed statistically with a significance level of 0.05.

Results:  Ice hockey athletes were the most affected by untreated dental caries (27.3%). No signs of dental trauma caused by sports activities were found in the winter sports branches. Basic erosive wear examination scores of the ice hockey athletes were similar to the ski jumping athletes and lower than other groups (P=.034). The mean cortisol values between sports branches were listed as: biathlon alpine skiing < ice hockey < ski jumping (P < .001). Test results of the winter sports athletes' saliva samples revealed that their salivary stress levels might vary in accordance with the sports branches, and there was a negative relationship between the levels of salivary stress biomarkers in competitions and oral health.

Conclusion:  In winter sports activities, measures for improving oral health should be disseminated.

研究背景 本研究旨在对12-16岁的新手(对照组)和精英运动员的口腔内检查结果进行研究,这些运动员参加的冬季运动项目包括高山滑雪、单板滑雪、冬季两项、跳台滑雪和冰上曲棍球。此外,研究还旨在通过比较运动员在赛前、赛中和赛后阶段的唾液压力生物标志物水平,确定组内和组间关系: 方法:91 名运动员(71 名精英,20 名新手)参加了我们的研究。对运动员的口腔健康状况进行了评估。此外,还测量了赛前(比赛前休息)、赛中(比赛开始前)和赛后(比赛结束时)阶段唾液样本中的皮质醇水平。对数据进行了统计分析,显著性水平为 0.05: 结果:冰上曲棍球运动员受未经治疗的龋齿影响最大(27.3%)。在冬季运动项目中,没有发现因体育活动造成的牙齿创伤迹象。冰球运动员的基本侵蚀磨损检查评分与跳台滑雪运动员相似,低于其他组别(P=0.034)。不同运动项目之间的皮质醇平均值分别为:冬季两项高山滑雪 < 冰上曲棍球 < 跳台滑雪(P < .001)。对冬季运动运动员唾液样本的检测结果显示,他们的唾液应激水平可能因运动项目的不同而不同,比赛中唾液应激生物标志物的水平与口腔健康之间存在负相关关系: 结论:在冬季体育活动中,应推广改善口腔健康的措施。

A phytoalexin polyphenolic chemical, resveratrol, can be found in a variety of foods, including cereals, peanuts, grapes, strawberries, and raspberries. It is also known that resveratrol protects the body against cardiovascular diseases as well as various types of cancer. In addition to these health issues, resveratrol is currently the subject of research since it helps treat and prevent a number of illnesses. More clinical research is needed to validate resveratrol's potential as a therapeutic agent, despite the plethora of in vitro and in vivo evidence to support this. When the literature data are evaluated, the fact that resveratrol has a therapeutic effect in these studies, but it is known to be subject to rapid metabolism despite its low bioavailability and oral absorption of approximately 75%, has directed the studies to resveratrol derivatives, especially piceatannol. Based on recent studies, 4 types of resveratrol derivatives were assessed in this work: hydroxylated compounds, methoxylated compounds, glycosides, and oligomers. Because of their advantageous bioactivities, methoxylated, hydroxylated, and halogenated derivatives have drawn the most interest among these classes. However, as a result of these studies, more studies should be conducted to better understand whether resveratrol derivatives can be recommended as therapeutic agents.

谷物、花生、葡萄、草莓和覆盆子等多种食物中都含有一种植物多酚化学物质--白藜芦醇。人们还知道,白藜芦醇能保护人体免受心血管疾病和各种癌症的侵袭。除了这些健康问题,白藜芦醇目前还是研究的主题,因为它有助于治疗和预防多种疾病。尽管有大量的体外和体内证据支持白藜芦醇的治疗潜力,但还需要更多的临床研究来验证。在对文献数据进行评估时,发现白藜芦醇在这些研究中具有治疗效果,但尽管其生物利用率较低,口服吸收率约为 75%,但众所周知,白藜芦醇会被快速代谢,因此研究方向转向了白藜芦醇衍生物,尤其是皮萨醇。根据最近的研究,本研究评估了 4 种白藜芦醇衍生物:羟基化合物、甲氧基化合物、苷和低聚物。由于甲氧基化、羟基化和卤化衍生物具有良好的生物活性,因此在这几类衍生物中最受关注。然而,由于这些研究的结果,应该进行更多的研究,以更好地了解是否可以推荐白藜芦醇衍生物作为治疗药物。

Background:  Glutamatergic N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors play vital roles in memory formation. Changes in the activity of these receptors influence memory processes. Ketamine is a noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist drug with promising mood-altering and pain-reducing effects in low doses. These effects are believed to be related to altered serotonergic transmission.

Methods:  The present study investigated the involvement of the serotonergic system in low-dose ketamine administrations' effects on memory acquisition, consolidation, and retrieval processes. Sixty-four male BALB/c mice were used in this experiment and separated into 8t groups. Mice were treated subchronically with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, fluoxetine, and a serotonin depletion agent, p-chlorophenylalanine (pCPA). A serotonin antagonist, methiothepin, and ketamine were acutely administered 60 minutes before or after the behavioral tests. A passive avoidance (PA) test measured emotional memory acquisition, consolidation, and retrieval processes. Hippocampi malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were analyzed, and histopathological examinations were performed.

Results:  Ketamine alone did not significantly affect memory encoding processes in the PA test, while the ketamine-fluoxetine combination disrupted memory consolidation. Fluoxetine negatively affected the memory acquisition process, which was normalized during the consolidation and retrieval trials. Drug applications did not significantly alter hippocampal MDA levels. In all ketamine-applied groups, histopathologic alterations were evident.

Conclusion:  Low-dose ketamine administration induces neurodegeneration, and it also impairs memory functions when combined with fluoxetine, indicating increased serotonergic transmission may be involved in the memory-impairing and neurotoxic effects of ketamine.

背景: 谷氨酸能 N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸(NMDA)受体在记忆形成过程中起着至关重要的作用。这些受体活性的变化会影响记忆过程。氯胺酮是一种非竞争性的 NMDA 受体拮抗剂,在低剂量时具有改善情绪和减轻疼痛的作用。这些作用被认为与血清素能传递的改变有关: 本研究调查了血清素能系统参与低剂量氯胺酮给药对记忆获得、巩固和检索过程的影响。本实验使用了64只雄性BALB/c小鼠,将其分为8t组。小鼠接受了选择性血清素再摄取抑制剂氟西汀和血清素消耗剂对氯苯丙氨酸(pCPA)的亚同步治疗。在进行行为测试之前或之后 60 分钟,急性注射血清素拮抗剂甲硫异烟胺和氯胺酮。被动回避(PA)测试测量了情绪记忆的获得、巩固和检索过程。对海马丙二醛(MDA)水平进行了分析,并进行了组织病理学检查: 结果:在 PA 测试中,单独使用氯胺酮对记忆编码过程没有明显影响,而氯胺酮-氟西汀联合使用会破坏记忆巩固。氟西汀对记忆获得过程有负面影响,但在巩固和检索试验中恢复正常。用药并没有明显改变海马MDA水平。在所有使用氯胺酮的组别中,组织病理学改变都很明显: 结论:小剂量氯胺酮会诱发神经变性,与氟西汀合用时还会损害记忆功能。

The utility of the [18]F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography ([18]F FDG PET-CT) marker for breast cancer is well established. Given its limitations in localizing FDG-negative malignant tumors, the expression of [18]F-fluorocholine ([18]-FCH) may potentially be helpful to improve the overall accuracy in evaluating breast cancer. This study determined the potential of [18]- FCH PET CT as a potential marker in assessing breast cancer phenotypes. We recruited consecutive patients with biopsy-proven breast carcinoma who underwent [18] F-FCH PET-CT following the [18]F-FDG PET-CT imaging. The subjects were dichotomized into human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative and HER2-positive genotypes. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax; g/dL) was used to predict the two groups of variables. Global health status (GHS) score based on the EORTC quality of life questionnaire (QLQ) was used to evaluate the outcome of the cohort subjects at 6, 12, and 24 months. There were 21 females with a mean age of 54.48 ± 12.17 years. Eighteen patients had invasive ductal carcinoma (18/21;85.8%) on histology, with 11 (52.4%) were HER2-negative genotype. There was higher sensitivity and specificity of [18]-FCH-PET/CT in breast lesions at 40% and 68.8% compared to [18]FDGPET/CT with 33.3% and 66.7%, respectively. There were significant differences between [18]F-FCH SUVmax (g/dL) of the HER-negative as compared to the HER2- positive group (1.99 g/dL vs. 0.2 g/dL; P < .05). High SUVmax (g/dL) of [18]F-FCH had predicted the HER-negative genotype at the cutoff value of 0.75 (P < .05). High [18]F-FCH showed significantly poor scoring of GHS parameters compared to low FCH at 6 months (mean SUVmax 8.06 vs. 5.40 respectively; P < .05). [18]F-FCH PET-CT is a potential marker in localizing and predicting aggressive breast carcinoma phenotypes.

[18]F氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描([18]F FDG PET-CT)标记物对乳腺癌的作用已得到公认。鉴于其在定位 FDG 阴性恶性肿瘤方面的局限性,[18]F-氟胆碱([18]-FCH)的表达可能有助于提高评估乳腺癌的整体准确性。本研究确定了[18]-FCH PET CT 作为评估乳腺癌表型的潜在标记物的潜力。我们连续招募了经活检证实的乳腺癌患者,他们在接受[18]F-FDG PET-CT成像后又接受了[18]F-FCH PET-CT成像。受试者被分为人类表皮生长因子受体 2 (HER2) 阴性基因型和 HER2 阳性基因型。最大标准化摄取值(SUVmax;克/分升)用于预测两组变量。根据 EORTC 生活质量问卷(QLQ)得出的总体健康状况(GHS)评分用于评估队列受试者在 6、12 和 24 个月时的结果。21名女性患者的平均年龄为(54.48 ± 12.17)岁。18名患者的组织学检查结果为浸润性导管癌(18/21;85.8%),其中11人(52.4%)的基因型为HER2阴性。乳腺病变中[18]-FCH-PET/CT的敏感性和特异性分别为40%和68.8%,而[18]FDGPET/CT的敏感性和特异性分别为33.3%和66.7%。HER阴性组与HER2阳性组的[18]F-FCH SUVmax (g/dL) 有明显差异(1.99 g/dL vs. 0.2 g/dL; P < .05)。[18]F-FCH的高SUVmax (g/dL) 预测了HER阴性基因型的临界值为0.75 (P < .05)。与低[18]F-FCH相比,高[18]F-FCH在6个月时的GHS参数评分明显较差(平均SUVmax分别为8.06 vs. 5.40;P < .05)。[18]F-FCH PET-CT 是定位和预测侵袭性乳腺癌表型的潜在标志物。

We aimed to investigate the efect of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) applied to patients with hemiplegia on somatosensory data, spatiotemporal parameters, posture, and muscle tone. This was a double-blind, randomised, controlled trial. Patients were randomised within pairs to either the experimental (ESWT) group (n=20) or the control group (n=20). All patients participated in the same conventional stroke rehabilitation program for 60 minutes of treatment a day, 5 times a week for 6 weeks (30 sessions). Patients assigned to the ESWT group received additional ESWT over the plantar fascia 3 days/week for 6 weeks. Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) score, Posture Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS), spatiotemporal parameters, Semmes-Weinstein monofilament (SWM) test, and vibration sensation test (VST) were performed in all participant before and after treatment. In the ESWT and control groups, statistically, significant diferences were obtained in the posttreatment analysis than pre-treatment. Significant diferences were found in foot angle, step cycle duration, swing phase, cadence, gait cycle distance, and VST values after ESWT treatment (P < .01). When combined with a neurological rehabilitation program, it was determined that ESWT applied to the plantar face of the foot in individuals with hemiplegia increased somatosensory functions and was more successful in developing postural control and balance.

我们旨在研究体外冲击波疗法(ESWT)对偏瘫患者的体感数据、时空参数、姿势和肌张力的影响。这是一项双盲、随机对照试验。患者被随机分配到实验(ESWT)组(20 人)或对照组(20 人)。所有患者均参加相同的传统中风康复计划,每天治疗 60 分钟,每周 5 次,持续 6 周(30 次)。ESWT 组患者每周 3 天在足底筋膜上接受额外的 ESWT 治疗,持续 6 周。所有受试者在治疗前后均进行了定时上下楼(TUG)测试、改良阿什沃斯量表(MAS)评分、脑卒中患者姿势评估量表(PASS)、时空参数、塞姆斯-温斯坦单丝(SWM)测试和振动感觉测试(VST)。在 ESWT 组和对照组中,治疗后的分析结果与治疗前相比有显著差异。在 ESWT 治疗后,足部角度、步周期持续时间、摆动阶段、步幅、步周期距离和 VST 值均有显著差异(P < .01)。结合神经康复计划,可以确定对偏瘫患者的足底进行 ESWT 治疗可增强其躯体感觉功能,并更成功地发展姿势控制和平衡能力。

Background:  Gadolinium deposition in biological tissues was first reported in patients with renal failure. We aimed to investigate gadolinium deposition in the rat kidney after exposure to single and multiple doses of gadolinium and evaluate deposition for 1- and 3-month periods. We also aimed to determine any correlation between the amount of deposition and T1-weighted image intensity.

Methods:  Seventy rats (5 animals per group) were included in the sample, and 9 groups received a single dose (0.3, 0.6, and 1.2 mmol/kg) of gadolinium, and 1 group for each dose was sacrificed at the end of the first day, week, and month. Four groups received weekly doses (0.3 and 0.6 mmol/kg) and were sacrificed at the end of 6 and 12 weeks. Measurement of T1 intensities was carried out with postinjection images before sacrifice, and deposition was determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

Results:  The number of injections was associated with increased gadolinium deposition (P <.001) in the kidney. After the weekly injections, the deposited gadolinium levels did not significantly difer between the low and medium doses at the end of the sixth week (P=.067). There was no agreement between the observers regarding the measurement of T1 signal intensity in both single-dose and multidose experiments (P=.263 and P=.307, respectively).

Conclusion:  Deposition was dose dependent in the postinjection stage in contrast to the late stage in which deposition was not associated with dose or number of injections until the 12th week. T1 signal intensity measurement is unreliable for assessing deposition in the rat kidney.

背景: 钆在生物组织中的沉积最早见于肾衰竭患者。我们的目的是研究大鼠肾脏在接触单剂量和多剂量钆后的钆沉积情况,并评估1个月和3个月的沉积情况。我们还旨在确定沉积量与 T1 加权图像强度之间的相关性: 样本中有 70 只大鼠(每组 5 只),其中 9 组接受了单剂量(0.3、0.6 和 1.2 mmol/kg)钆,每种剂量的 1 组在第一天、一周和一个月结束时牺牲。四组每周接受一次剂量(0.3 和 0.6 毫摩尔/千克),分别在 6 周和 12 周后牺牲。牺牲前利用注射后图像测量 T1 强度,并利用电感耦合等离子体质谱测定沉积物: 结果:注射次数与钆沉积增加有关(P 结论:注射次数越多,钆沉积越多: 在注射后阶段,沉积与剂量有关,而在后期阶段,沉积与剂量或注射次数无关,直到第 12 周。T1信号强度测量对评估大鼠肾脏沉积情况并不可靠。

Background:  Postdural puncture headache is a headache that occurs after a dura puncture, especially in caesarean sections, and afects patient comfort and mobilization. In this study, we compared the efects of pencil-tipped spinal needles and especially curved, bilateral atraumatic spinal needles in individuals undergoing elective caesarean sections.

Methods:  A total of 886 patients, aged 20-50 years, who had cesarean sections with spinal anesthesia and had American Society of Anesthesiologists II and III scores, were included in the study. The patients were allocated into 3 groups using the closed envelope randomization technique: Group 1 (n=250) received spinal insertions using 25-gauge pencil-point needles; Group 2 (n=245) received spinal insertions using 26-gauge atraumatic needles; and Group 3 (n=250) received spinal insertions using 27-gauge pencil-point needles. Records were kept of the quantity of spinal needle referrals, the type of treatment, the length of hospital stays, and complications.

Results:  In the study, 745 patients who had cesarean section operations under spinal anesthesia were further analyzed. The mean incidence of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) was 3.2% (n=24). The incidence of PDPH was higher in group 2 than in group 3 and group 1 (Group 1: 2.8%; Group 2: 6.8%; Group 3: 0%) (P <0.05). Among other complications, low back, back, shoulder, and surgical complications were similar for all 3 groups.

Conclusion:  In caesarean section operations, pencil-point spinal needles were found to have a lower incidence of postdural puncture headache than Atraucan-cut needles, regardless of needle thickness.

背景: 硬膜穿刺后头痛是硬膜穿刺后发生的头痛,尤其是在剖腹产手术中,影响患者的舒适度和活动能力。在这项研究中,我们比较了铅笔尖脊柱针和弯曲的双侧无创伤脊柱针对择期剖腹产患者的影响: 研究共纳入了 886 名年龄在 20-50 岁之间、采用脊柱麻醉进行剖宫产手术且美国麻醉医师协会 II 级和 III 级评分的患者。采用封闭式信封随机技术将患者分为 3 组:第一组(人数=250)使用 25 号铅笔尖针进行椎管插入;第二组(人数=245)使用 26 号无创伤针进行椎管插入;第三组(人数=250)使用 27 号铅笔尖针进行椎管插入。研究记录了脊柱置针量、治疗类型、住院时间和并发症: 研究对 745 名在脊髓麻醉下进行剖宫产手术的患者进行了进一步分析。硬膜穿刺后头痛(PDPH)的平均发生率为 3.2%(24 人)。第 2 组的 PDPH 发生率高于第 3 组和第 1 组(第 1 组:2.8%;第 2 组:6.8%;第 3 组:0%): 在剖腹产手术中,无论针的粗细,铅笔尖脊柱针的硬膜穿刺后头痛发生率均低于阿特劳康切口针。

Background:  In our research, we examined how the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus of hypothyroid rats afects the mRNA levels of several proteins involved with neurodegeneration, including Gsk3, Cdk5, Akt1, Mapt, P35 (Anxa), Capn1, Bace1, and Psen2.

Methods:  Wistar-albino rats, consisting of 12 males, were used in the research, and they were separated into 2 groups: control (n=6) and hypothyroidism (n=6). To induce hypothyroidism, propylthiouracil was added to drinking water at a dosage of 20 mg/kg/day. The test stimulus intensity was calculated, basal recordings were acquired, and LTP was induced by administering 100 Hz high-frequency stimulation (HFS) for 1 second with a 5-minute delay when the rats were aged 60 days. The population spike (PS) amplitude and excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) slope were measured in the granule cell layer of the dentate gyrus. Using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, the mRNA levels of neurodegenerative genes were assessed in induced hippocampal tissues after the LTP protocol. The free T4 levels in plasma were measured using a plate reader with the commercial ELISA kit.

Results:  Following HFS, LTP was solely induced in the EPSP slope and PS amplitude in the control group. The impaired LTP response of the hypothyroidism group was accompanied by an increase in Akt1-mRNA expression and a decrease in Gsk3ß expression, whereas the value genes' mRNA expression levels did not difer significantly from those of the control group.

Conclusion:  The hypothyroidism-related LTP impairment could be caused by a reduction in PI3K/AKT signaling. Further investigation of this path is required to elucidate the pathophysiology of impaired synaptic plasticity in hypothyroidism.

研究背景 在我们的研究中,我们考察了甲状腺功能减退大鼠海马中长期电位诱导(LTP)如何影响与神经变性有关的几种蛋白质的mRNA水平,包括Gsk3、Cdk5、Akt1、Mapt、P35(Anxa)、Capn1、Bace1和Psen2: 研究使用了12只雄性Wistar-albino大鼠,将其分为两组:对照组(n=6)和甲减组(n=6)。为了诱导甲减,在饮用水中添加丙基硫氧嘧啶,剂量为 20 毫克/千克/天。计算测试刺激强度,采集基础记录,并在大鼠60天大时给予100赫兹高频刺激(HFS)1秒钟,延迟5分钟,诱导LTP。测量了齿状回颗粒细胞层的群体棘波(PS)振幅和兴奋性突触后电位(EPSP)斜率。通过反转录聚合酶链反应,评估了LTP方案后诱导海马组织中神经退行性基因的mRNA水平。血浆中的游离 T4 含量是通过使用商用酶联免疫吸附试剂盒的平板阅读器测定的: 结果:HFS后,对照组的LTP仅在EPSP斜率和PS振幅上被诱导。甲状腺功能减退症组的LTP反应受损伴随着Akt1-mRNA表达的增加和Gsk3ß表达的减少,而价值基因的mRNA表达水平与对照组没有显著差异: 结论:甲状腺功能减退症相关的LTP损伤可能是由PI3K/AKT信号传导减少引起的。结论:甲减相关的LTP损伤可能是由PI3K/AKT信号的减少引起的,需要对这一途径进行进一步研究,以阐明甲减患者突触可塑性受损的病理生理学。
