Abstract
Background and Objectives: Given the conflicting data available in the literature, this study aimed to investigate the impact of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on the macular vascular density (VD) and perfusion density (PD). Materials and Methods: Based on the obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI), 61 prospectively recruited patients were assigned to either a control group (n = 12; OAHI < 5/h) or an OSAS group (n = 49; OAHI ≥ 5/h). The macular VD and PD of the superficial and deep capillary plexuses (SCP and DCP, respectively) were measured in the parafoveolar and perifoveolar areas using Zeiss PLEX Elite 9000 (6 × 6 mm). The values were compared between the control and OSAS groups. Results: Compared with the control group, the OSAS group demonstrated an increased VD of the DCP in the parafoveolar and perifoveolar areas and PD of the DCP in the perifoveolar area. No significant differences in either the macular VD or PD of the SCP were observed. There was no correlation between the OAHI and macular VD or PD. Conclusions: This study indicates that collateral vessel formation and possible retinal vasodilation occur in the DCP of patients with OSAS.

Metabolites 2024; 14:55. [PMID: 38248858 PMCID: PMC10821449 DOI: 10.3390/metabo14010055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Peyronie's disease (PD) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the penile albuginea. Oxidative stress (OS) is important for the development of the disease; therefore, it seemed interesting to us to directly measure OS at both the site of the disease and in peripheral blood. For a precise OS study, it is necessary to evaluate not only the single results of the total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS) but also their ratio: OS index (OSI) (arbitrary unit) = TOS/TAS × 100. This study included 49 PD patients examined and diagnosed in our Peyronie's care center and a control group of 50 cases. We collected blood samples from both the penis and a vein in the upper extremity; we used d-ROMs and PAT-test (FRAS kit) for OS measurement. Pearson's study found a statistical correlation between penile OSI values and PD plaque volumes: p-value = 0.002. No correlation was found between systemic OSI values and PD plaque volumes: p-value = 0.27. Penile OSI values were significantly reduced after the elimination of the PD plaque (p < 0.00001). The mean value of the penile OSI indices in the PD patients after plaque elimination corresponded to 0.090 ± 0.016 (p = 0.004). The comparison between the penile OSI values of the PD patients (with plaque elimination) and the control group revealed no statistically significant differences (p = 0.130). The absence of a correlation between Peyronie's plaque volume and systemic OSI values indicates that it is preferable to carry out the OS study by taking a sample directly from the site of the disease. By carrying out a penile OSI study, it would be possible to obtain a precise plaque-volume-dependent oxidative marker. Even if the study did not demonstrate any correlation between OSI indices and anxious-depressive state, we detected a high prevalence of anxiety (81.6%) and depression (59.1%) in PD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the correlation between triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and collateral circulation in patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) of coronary arteries in different glucose metabolic states. METHODS A total of 681 patients who underwent coronary angiography between January 2020 and December 2021 to determine the presence of CTO lesions in at least one major coronary artery were retrospectively included in this study. Patients were categorized into a group with poor collateral circulation formation (Rentrop grade 0-1, n = 205) and a group with good collateral circulation formation (Rentrop grade 2-3, n = 476) according to the Rentrop scale. They were also categorized according to their glucose metabolism status: normal glucose regulation (NGR) (n = 139), prediabetes mellitus (Pre-DM) (n = 218), and diabetes mellitus (DM) (n = 324). Correlation between TyG index and collateral circulation formation was analyzed by logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS Among patients with CTO, TyG index was significantly higher in the group with poor collateral circulation formation than in the group with good collateral circulation formation. Logistic regression analysis showed that TyG index was an independent risk factor for poor collateral circulation formation (OR 5.104, 95% CI 3.323-7.839, P < 0.001). The accuracy of TyG index in predicting collateral circulation formation was evaluated by the ROC curve, which had an area under the curve of 0.779 (95% CI 0.738-0.820, P < 0.001). The restrictive cubic spline curves showed that the risk of poor collateral circulation formation in the Pre-DM and DM groups was initially flat and finally increased rapidly, except for the NGR group. TyG index was significantly associated with an increased risk of poor collateral circulation formation in the Pre-DM and DM groups. CONCLUSIONS TyG index was significantly associated with the risk of poor collateral circulation formation in patients with CTO, especially those with Pre-DM and DM.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:6361. [PMID: 37835005 PMCID: PMC10573799 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12196361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Our aim was to investigate the relationship between thiol, which is the main component of the antioxidant system, and coronary collateral circulation (CCC). Our patients consisted of people with stable coronary artery disease (sCAD) and total occlusion in at least one vessel (n = 249). We divided the patients into two groups, good and poor, according to their CCC degree. We determined that DM, total thiol, and disulfide are independent predictors of poor CCC in multivariate logistic regression analysis (OR: 1.012, 95% CI: 1.008-1.017, p < 0.001; OR: 1.022, 95% CI: 1.000-1.044, p = 0.044; OR: 2.671, 95% CI: 1.238-5.761, p = 0.012, respectively). The ROC analysis showed a cut-off value of 328.7 for native thiol regarding the prediction of poor CCC, with 67.4% specificity and 78% sensitivity. For disulfide, it revealed a cut-off value of 15.1 regarding the prediction of poor CCC, with 57.9% specificity and 69.5% sensitivity. In this study, we detected that the patients with sCAD who developed poor CCC had lower levels of native thiol, total thiol, and disulfide compared to those with good CCC. The most interesting finding of our study is that CCC formation is an effective predictor of the antioxidant cascade rather than the inflammation cascade in sCAD patients.

Oxidation‑reduction potential parameters worsen following intraarterial therapy in patients with reduced collateral circulation and middle cerebral artery occlusions. Exp Ther Med 2023; 25:295. [PMID: 37229324 PMCID: PMC10203750 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2023.11994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Collateral circulation is important for cerebral perfusion in acute ischemic strokes. Monitoring the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) may be useful to assess collateral status or treatment efficacy. The objectives of the present study were to determine if the ORP was associated with collateral circulation status in middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusions and to identify patterns in the ORP and the collateral circulation status among patients treated with intraarterial therapy (IAT) over time. The present pilot study was nested within a prospective cohort study measuring the ORP of the peripheral venous plasma of stroke patients. The population included in the present study were patients with MCA (M1/M2) occlusions. Two ORP parameters were examined: Static ORP (sORP; mV), indicating oxidative stress, and capacity ORP (cORP; µC), indicating antioxidant reserves. Collateral status was retrospectively graded using Miteff's system as good (grade 1) or reduced (grade 2/3). Comparisons were made between collateral status groups (reduced vs. good collaterals) in all patients, within a subset including only patients who received IAT, and between thrombolysis in cerebral infraction scale score (TICI) groups (0-2a vs. 2b/3). The Fisher's exact test, Student's t-test and Wilcoxon tests were used (α<0.20). The 19 patients were categorized based on their collaterals: Good collaterals (53%) and reduced collaterals (47%). The baseline characteristics were similar with the exception that the patients with good collaterals had a lower international normalized ratio (P=0.12) and were more likely to have a stroke on the left side (P=0.18) or to have a mismatch (P=0.05). The admission sORP values were comparable (169.5 vs. 164.2 mV; P=0.65), as was admission cORP (P=0.73). When considering only the patients who received IAT (n=12), admission sORP (P=0.69) and cORP (P=0.90) were also statistically similar. On day 2, after IAT, both groups experienced a worsening in ORP measures; however, the patients with good collaterals had a significantly lower sORP (169.4 vs. 203.5 mV; P=0.02) and a higher cORP (0.2 vs. 0.1 µC; P=0.002) compared with the patients with reduced collaterals. Neither sORP nor cORP were significantly different between TICI score groups on admission or on day 2. Upon discharge, patients with a TICI of 2b-3 had a significantly better sORP (P=0.03) and cORP (P=0.12) compared with those with a TICI of 0-2a. In conclusion, upon patient admission, the ORP parameters were not significantly different between the collateral circulation status groups for MCA occlusions. The ORP parameters worsened after IAT regardless of the collateral circulation status; however, after IAT, on day 2, patients with good collaterals experienced less oxidative stress (sORP) and had higher antioxidant reserves (cORP) than patients with reduced collaterals.

The association of serum uric acid/albumin ratio with the development of coronary collateral circulation in patients with chronic total occluded coronary arteries. J Cardiovasc Thorac Res 2023; 15:14-21.

Abstract
Introduction: Coronary collateral circulation (CCC) develops in chronic total occluded (CTO) vessels and protects the myocardium against ischemia in addition to the improvement of cardiac functions. Poor CCC is related to adverse cardiac events as well as poor prognosis. Serum uric acid/albumin ratio (UAR) has emerged as a novel marker associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes. We aimed to investigate whether there was an association between UAR and poor CCC in CTO patients. Methods: This study was comprised of 212 patients with CTO (92 with poor CCC and 120 with good CCC). All patients were graded based on Rentrop scores to poor CCC (Rentrop scores 0 and 1) and good CCC (Rentrop scores 2 and 3). Results: Poor CCC patients had higher frequencies of diabetes mellitus, triglyceride levels, Syntax and Gensini scores, uric acid, and UAR and lower lymphocyte, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and ejection fraction when compared to good CCC patients. UAR was an independent predictor of poor CCC in CTO patients. Furthermore, UAR had a better discriminative ability for patients with poor CCC from good CCC compared to serum uric acid and albumin. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, the UAR could be used to detect poor CCC in CTO patients.

Abstract
It is known that boric acid (BA) exerts it antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects by activating the activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) and nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway. This pathway has been reported to control antioxidant status in the eye. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible preventive effects of boric acid administration on oxidative damage and corneal neovascularization (CNV). Sixteen adult female Wistar albino rats were divided into two groups: (I) control (n = 8); the CNV model was applied to the right eye of the rats, and the left eyes were used as healthy controls. (II) CNV + BA (n = 8): After the CNV model was applied to the right eyes, a single subconjunctival dose (0.05 mL) of 0,018 g/mL BA was injected into the right and left eyes of the rats. Biochemical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical analyses were performed. Moderate VEGF positivity was observed in the vessels of the CNV group, a decrease in vessel proliferation, and weak VEGF positivity in the CNV + BA group. The TAS level in the CNV + BA group was significantly higher than that in the other groups. The TOS level was significantly higher in all groups than it is in the control group. The OSI value was increased in all groups when compared to the control group, but only the CNV and BA groups were statistically significant. BA not only reduced alkaline-induced corneal damage histologically but also showed a protective effect on oxidative stress biochemically.

Cardioprotective Effect of Acetylsalicylic Acid in the Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Model on Oxidative Stress Markers Levels in Heart Muscle and Serum. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11081432.

Abstract
Heart failure occurs in increased oxidative stress conditions, which contribute to the progression of pathological changes. Orally or intravenously administered acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, aspirin) is typically used in human patients with acute myocardial ischemia. The study used an experimental porcine ischemia-reperfusion model to evaluate the potential cardioprotective effect of intracoronary administered ASA on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. The cardioprotective effect of ASA was evaluated by measuring selected oxidative stress markers levels in infarcted and non-infarcted myocardium 14 days after the procedure, and three times in serum, before the procedure, during the reperfusion process, and after 14-day recovery. The results showed that intracoronary administrated ASA reduced the oxidative stress. The level of oxidative stress, measured with the non-enzymatic markers total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidative status (TOS), and malondialdehyde (MDA), and the enzymatic markers glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione S-transferase (GST), in heart tissue was significantly higher in a control group injected with saline. The level of oxidative stress in serum, measured with TAC, TOS, oxidative stress index (OSI), and lipofuscin (LF), was also higher in the control group than in animals injected with ASA. The confirmed cardioprotective effect of intracoronary administered ASA provides the foundation for further studies on ASA intracoronary application, which may lead to the development of a new therapy for the treatment of ischemia-reperfusion complications in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac dysfunction is secondary to acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The underlying cause of distant organ damage in the heart is the formation of oxidative stress caused by ischemia-reperfusion. In this study, we investigated the possible protective effects of a novel mitochondria-targeted antioxidant MitoTEMPO on contractile dysfunction and structural defects of the rat papillary muscle caused by abdominal ischemia-reperfusion (AIR). METHODS AND RESULTS In the experiments, adult Wistar-Albino rats were used and animals were divided randomly into 3 groups; sham-operated group (SHAM), an IR group that had aortic cross-clamping for 1 h followed by 2 h reperfusion, and a third group that received protective 0.7 mg/kg/day MitoTEMPO injection for 28-day before IR. As a result, it was observed that MitoTEMPO injection had a protective effect on the mechanical activities and structural properties of the papillary muscle impaired by AIR. Our study also showed that AIR disrupted the contractile function of the papillary muscle for each stimulation frequency and post-potentiation responses tested. This is common for each measured and calculated mechanical parameter and MitoTEMPO injection showed its protective effects. CONCLUSION Consequently, calcium homeostasis seems to be impaired by AIR, and MitoTEMPO may exert its protective effect through energy metabolism by directly targeting the mitochondria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is a common dermatological complaint with multifactorial etiology. Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2) is a transcription factor that has a major role in protection from ROS-induced apoptosis. AIM to investigate the relationship between Nrf2 and systemic oxidative stress in FPHL patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS This case-control study included 30 patients with FPHL and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers as a control group. Serum NRF2, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and total oxidant capacity (TOC) were measured by ELISA and oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated. RESULTS The serum level of TOC and OSI were found to be significantly higher (P ≤ 0.001 for both) while serum level of NRF2 and TAC were found to be significantly lower in cases than controls (P <0.001 for both). There was a significant negative correlation between TAC and BMI (P = 0.03, r= -0.391 ) and a significant positive correlation between OSI and BMI (P= 0.04, r= 0.365). There was a significant positive correlation between serum level of NRF2 and TAC (P = 0.003, r= 0.532) and a significant negative correlation between serum the level of NRF2 and TOC (P= 0.02, r= -0.418) and OSI (P= 0.003, r= -0.395). CONCLUSION Systemic oxidative stress in FPHL may be, at least in part, due to NRF2 deficiency. NRF2 activators may help in treatment of this disease. NRF2 deficiency has no role in disease severity. Healthy diet and body weight reduction may help in improving oxidative stress and subsequently improving FPHL.

Abstract
Introduction: Hyperoxygenation is linked to numerous effects in a variety of organ systems. It can cause tissue damage by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), increasing oxidative stress, and inducing cell death by apoptosis. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of low-level laser therapy on the retina in response to acute hyperoxia in animals. Methods: A total of 70 Wistar albino rats were evaluated in the present study: 10 rats were designated as a control group, and the rest were exposed to hyperoxia (O2 , 90%) for 3 days, 1 week, and 2 weeks (20 rats each). Each group was divided into two subgroups (n=10), one of which was designated as hyperoxia only. The other was treated with a 670 nm light-emitting diode laser (2 sessions/one week, ~ 9.0 J/cm2 ) in each eye. The animals were euthanized, and their retinas were dissected for analysis of protein content, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), malondialdehyde (MDA), and histological examination. Results: We found that two weeks of hyperoxia induced an increase in retinal protein content (P<0.001), an alteration in the intensities and molecular weights of protein fractions, a significant decrease in the TAC level (P<0.01), and a noticeable increase in H2 O2 and MDA levels (P<0.001). Histological examination revealed fragmentation of the photoreceptors and neovascularization in the outer and inner plexiform layers. Furthermore, the data showed remarkable improvement in the retinal protein contents, oxidative state, and retinal structure after light-emitting diode laser therapy. Conclusion: Light-emitting diode laser therapy was found to be a useful treatment paradigm for reducing hyperoxia-induced retinal damage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels and coronary collateral circulation (CCC) in patients with chronic total occlusive (CTO). METHODS Coronary angiography was performed in the Department of Cardiology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from 2017 to 08 to 2019-02 to identify 128 patients with CTO lesions in at least one major coronary artery. According to the Rentrop evaluation criteria, the degree of CCC formation was divided into the poor CCC formation group (Rentrop0-1 grade,n = 69) and the good CCC formation group (Rentrop2-3 grade,n = 59). The IMA level of the patients was measured using an albumin-cobalt binding assay. The general data, routine blood panel, total bilirubin (TBIL), blood lipids, uric acid (UA), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and other indicators of the patients were recorded and analyzed while assessing the patients' blood vessel occlusion. RESULTS The proportion of platelet count and diabetes in the poor CCC group was higher than that in the good CCC group (P < 0.05). The ratio of ischemia-modified albumin and total bilirubin in the poor CCC group was lower than that in the good CCC group (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ischemia-modified albumin was positively correlated with CCC formation [OR = 1.190,95% CI (1.092-1.297),P < 0.001], while diabetes was negatively correlated with CCC formation [OR = 0.285,95% CI (0.094-0.864), P < 0.05]. Ischemic modified albumin predicted good formation of CCC according to the ROC curve, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.769(95% CI,0.686-0.851, P<0.001); the optimal cut-off value was 63.35 KU/L, and the sensitivity was 71.2%,specificity is 71%. CONCLUSION The IMA level is closely related to good formation of CCC. Higher IMA levels can be used as an effective predictor of good CCC formation in patients with CTO.

Abstract
Background Abnormalities in the oxidative and antioxidant states causing oxidative stress were both found in heart failure (HF) of various aetiologies and atherosclerosis. Aim of Study The goals of the study were as follows: comparison of oxidative stress parameters (OSP) in ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) (n = 479) and nonischaemic cardiomyopathy (nICM) (n = 295) patients; assessment of the relationships of OSP with functional capacity (NYHA class), maximal oxygen consumption (max.O2), left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF), and NT-proBNP concentration; and determination of the mutual relations of OSP in subgroups of patients with ICM and n-ICM. Methods Serum concentrations of total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidant status (TOS), uric acid (UA), bilirubin, albumin, protein sulfhydryl groups (PSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured. The oxidative stress index (OSI) and MDA/PSH ratio were calculated. Results Higher concentrations of TAC (1.14 vs 1.11 mmol/l; p < 0.001) and MDA (1.80 vs 1.70 μmol/l; p < 0.05) and higher MDA/PSH ratios (0.435 vs 0.358; p < 0,001) were observed in ICM than in nICM patients. Simultaneously, lower values of the OSI index (4.27 vs 4.6; p < 0, 05), PSH (4.10 vs 4.75 μmol/g of protein; p < 0,001), and bilirubin (12.70 vs 15.40 μmol/l; p < 0,001) concentrations were indicated in ICM patients. There were no differences in TOS, UA, and albumin between the examined groups. The NYHA class and VO2max correlate with MDA, bilirubin, and albumin in both groups, while with UA only in the ICM group. Correlations between the NYHA class, VO2max, and PSH were indicated in nICM. The association of LVEF with UA, bilirubin, and albumin has been demonstrated in the ICM group. The study showed negative correlations between TAC, MDA, and PSH and positive between TAC and MDA in both groups. In ICM patients, MDA positively correlated with UA. A negative correlation between PSH and concentrations of UA and bilirubin was expressed only in the nICM group. Conclusion The obtained results confirm the relationship between the severity of HF and oxidative stress. The mechanisms of oxidative stress and antioxidant defence are partially different in the ICM and the nICM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Warts are benign conditions of the skin and mucosa caused by human papilloma viruses (HPV) that affect many people worldwide. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate OS by TOS/TAS, levels of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) an indicator of DNA damage, and also protein oxidation levels by determining the dynamic serum thiol/disulphide homeostasis in patients with warts. We also aimed to investigate whether there is a relationship between thiol/disulphide homeostasis, recalcitrance of warts and DNA damage. METHODS Forty patients of age ≥18 years, having recalcitrant genital and/or non-genital warts that persisted for more than 2 years, 40 patients with warts that persisted for <2 years and 40 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Blood TAS, TOS, OSI, 8-OHdG and dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis were evaluated. RESULTS Significant differences were detected between the groups in the levels of 8-OHdG, TOS, OSI, total thiol, native thiol, reduced thiol, as well as native thiol/total thiol ratio, disulphide/total thiol ratio and disulphide/native thiol ratio. Compared with the controls, patients with recalcitrant warts had significantly higher levels of 8-OHdG, TOS and OSI levels. Total thiol and native thiol levels were significantly lower in patients with recalcitrant warts compared with patients with warts that persisted for <2 years. Disulphide levels were significantly higher in the latter group of patients compared with patients with recalcitrant warts and controls. Native thiol/total thiol ratio was significantly higher in both patient groups compared with controls whereas disulphide/total thiol and disulphide/native thiol ratios were significantly lower in both patient groups than in controls. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that impairment of thiol disulphide homeostasis in patients with recalcitrant warts may lead to increased OS and DNA damage. Thus, antioxidant administration with thiol containing proteins may help in the regression of warts and thereby prevent carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Introduction The prognostic value of hematological indices in cardiovascular diseases and the association between these parameters and cardiovascular conditions have been established in the literature. Aim In this study, we aimed to investigate the relation of mean platelet volume (MPV), MPV to platelet ratio (MPR) and red cell distribution width (RDW) with degree of coronary collateral development (CCD) in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) subjects with established critical coronary artery stenosis. Material and methods A total of 306 patients with stable angina pectoris undergoing coronary arteriography were enrolled and divided on the basis of the development of CCD into two groups: a group with adequate CCD (n = 214) and a group with impaired CCD (n = 92). Routine complete blood count and biochemical parameters were measured before coronary arteriography. Results The MPV and MPR levels were significantly higher in the inadequate CCD group (10.5 ±1.8 fl vs. 8.7 ±1.9 fl, p < 0.001 and 0.06 ±0.08 vs. 0.05 ±0.07, p = 0.036). Patients with inadequate CCD had significantly higher RDW levels compared to patients with adequate CCD (15.5 ±1.7% vs. 15.0 ±1.9%, p = 0.01). MPV and RDW were significantly associated with Rentrop collateral grading (r = –0.523, p < 0.001 and r = –0.239, p < 0.001, respectively), whereas the association with MPR was not significant. An MPV value greater than 9.95 fl, determined with ROC curve analysis, had 71% sensitivity and 70% specificity in predicting inadequate CCD. An RDW greater than 14.3% has 71% sensitivity and 53% specificity in selecting patients with adequate CCD. Conclusions The present study suggests that MPV and MPR may be associated with the degree of collateral development in chronic stable CAD. However, the negative association of RDW with inadequate CCD, in combination with previous contradictory reports, raises a doubt about the possible value of RDW in stable CAD. Although these parameters may be affected by various conditions, a high MPV may lead clinicians to suspect possible inadequate collateral development in stable CAD patients.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) on blood and lung tissue exposed chronically to cigarette smoke (CS). Female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups. Group 1 was the control group (CON): fresh air was supplied twice daily and 0.1 ml physiological saline was given orally for 8 weeks. Group 2 was exposed to CS: 12 cigarettes were smoked daily at two sessions for 1 h and 0.1 ml saline was given orally for 8 weeks. Group 3 (CS + ALA) was exposed to 12 cigarettes daily in two sessions for 1 h and 100 mg/kg/day ALA was given orally for 8 weeks. DNA damage was assessed using comet analysis; oxidative damage was assessed using ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) from blood; and total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) were measured in blood and lung tissue. Histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α, and -2α, caspase-3, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) were conducted using lung tissue. The oxidative markers, TOS, OSI and IMA, and the comet analysis score were increased and the TAS level was decreased in the blood of the CS group compared to the CON group. IMA levels in blood, and TOS and OSI levels in the lung were decreased significantly in the CS + ALA group compared to the CS group. We observed increased septal wall thickness, marked and diffuse inflammatory reaction, emphysema, and necrotic cell debris in bronchial and bronchiolar lumens in the CS group. HIF-1α, HIF-2α, caspase-3 and FGF2 expressions were increased, while VEGF expression decreased in the lung tissues of the CS group compared to the CON group. ALA slightly ameliorated the damage caused by chronic exposure to CS in the lungs, but further investigation is needed to determine its possible protective effects at different dosages.

Abstract
Prolonged use of an antineoplastic agent methotrexate (MTX), can cause numerous side effects such as nephrotoxicity. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of MTX on kidneys and demonstrate the protective effects of gallic acid (GA). Twenty-four, male, rats distributed into three groups. Each groups consisted eight rats and only saline was administered to the control group. The MTX group received a single dose (20 mg/kg) MTX intraperitoneally. The MTX + GA group received same dose MTX and 100 mg/kg GA orally during the 7 days. Renal functions, oxidative stress markers, histopathological and immunohistochemical changes were evaluated at the end of the experiment. Blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid levels and tissue oxidative stress markers, total oxidant status and oxidative stress index levels significantly increased and total antioxidant status levels significantly decreased in MTX group compared with the control group. At the histopathological examination hemorrhages, tubular cell necrosis, glomerulosclerosis, inflammatory cell infiltrations and proteinous materials in tubules were noticed in MTX group. Immunohistochemical examination revealed that increased expressions of serum amyloid A (SAA), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), prostaglandin E2 (PGE-2) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in tubular epithelial cells of kidneys in this group. There were no immunoreaction with SAA and CRP, only small number of PGE-2 and TNF-α positive tubular epithelial cells were observed in MTX + GA group. In conclusion, all evidence suggested that oxidative stress caused MTX-induced nephrotoxicity and GA prevent the kidney from the nephrotoxicity due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Abstract
To determine whether the possible oxidative effect of methotrexate (Mtx) on ovary and to evaluate the effectiveness of alpha lipoic acid (ALA), which may be useful in many oxidative stress models. Thirty-two female Wistar-albino rats were randomly divided into four groups; control group, alpha lipoic acid group (ALA 100 mg/kg, 10 days), multiple dose Mtx group (Mtx 1 mg/kg 1, 3, 5, 7 days) and Mtx and ALA group (Mtx 1 mg/kg 1, 3, 5, 7 days and ALA 100 mg/kg, 10 days). Serum total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) and activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT) and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and total ovarian follicle count were evaluated. Mtx administration caused a significant decrease in TAS, a significant increase in TOS and OSI, a significant increase in MDA levels and a decrease in GSH-Px and CAT activity. Moreover the proinflammatory cytokine (TNF-α) was increased in the Mtx group. And AMH values and total follicle count were significantly decreased in Mtx group. However, ALA treatment reversed biochemical results and AMH levels and total follicle count. Alpha lipoic acid ameliorates methotrexate induced oxidative damage of ovarian in rats.

Abstract
Dioxin and dioxin-like compounds are known as a class of highly toxic and persistent environmental contaminants threatening human and animal health. In the present study, the protective effects of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and Resveratrol (RSV) against 2,3,7,8-TCDD, 1,2,3,7,8-PeCDD, 1,2,3,7,8,9-HxCDD, and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-OCDD induced acute toxicity and measurement of oxidative stress were studied. Lethal doses of these chemicals were determined. Transheterozigot larvae of Drosophila melanogaster were treated using either dioxins (10 × 10-7 μg mL-1) or dioxins + CoQ10 (10 × 10-7 μg mL-1 + 150 μg mL-1) and dioxins + RSV (10 × 10-7 μg mL-1 + 100 μM). After dioxin treatment, antioxidant combination therapy with dioxins and CoQ10 or dioxins and RSV resulted in indicators of acute toxicity including a decrease in total oxidant status as compared to dioxins alone (p < 0.05). The combination treatment also produced a significant increase in total antioxidant status as compared to dioxins only (p < 0.05). Results indicate a potential role of dioxins for oxidative stress with acute toxicity and the protective performance of CoQ10 and RSV in the overall toxicity of dioxins including measuring oxidative stress.

The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effects of tempol on ovarian ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. Forty female Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: Group I, sham; Group II, ischemia (I); Group III, I/R; Group IV, I/R + tempol 30 mg/kg i.p; Group V, I/R + tempol 50 mg/kg i.p. Oxidative stress index (OSI) was significantly higher in the ischemia group and the I/R group than in the sham group. Catalase levels were significantly lower in the I/R group than in the I/R + tempol 30 mg/kg i.p. and the I/R + tempol 50 mg/kg i.p. groups. Glutathione peroxidase levels were lower in the I/R group than in the I/R + tempol 30 mg/kg i.p. and the I/R + tempol 50 mg/kg i.p. groups. MDA levels were significantly lower in the I/R + tempol 30 mg/kg i.p. group and the I/R + tempol 50 mg/kg i.p. group than in the I/R group. The levels of the histopathological parameters were significantly decreased in the I/R + tempol 50 mg/kg i.p. group compared with the I/R group. Tempol can be used for reducing ovarian I/R injury.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate electromagnetic radiation (EMR) transmitted by wireless devices (2.45 GHz), which may cause physiopathological or ultrastructural changes, in the testes of rats. We addressed if the supplemental gallic acid (GA) may reduce these adverse effects. Six-week-old male Sprague Dawley rats were used in this study. Forty eight rats were equally divided into four groups, which were named: Sham, EMR only (EMR, 3 h day-1 for 30 days), EMR + GA (30 mg/kg/daily), and GA (30 mg/kg/daily) groups. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and total oxidant status (TOS) levels increased (p = 0.001 for both) in EMR only group. TOS and oxidative stress index (OSI) levels decreased in GA treated group significantly (p = 0.001 and p = 0.045, respectively). Total antioxidant status (TAS) activities decreased in EMR only group and increased in GA treatment group (p = 0.001 and p = 0.029, respectively). Testosterone and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels decreased in EMR only group, but this was not statistically significant. Testosterone and VEGF levels increased in EMR+GA group, compared with EMR only group (p = 0.002), and also increased in GA group compared with the control and EMR only group (p = 0.044 and p = 0.032, respectively). Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ) and calcitonin gene releated peptide (CGRP) staining increased in tubules of the testes in EMR only group (p < 0.001 for both) and decreased in tubules of the testes in EMR+GA group (p < 0.001 for all parameters). In EMR only group, most of the tubules contained less spermatozoa, and the spermatozoon counts decreased in tubules of the testes. All these findings and the regenerative reaction, characterized by mitotic activity, increased in seminiferous tubules cells of the testes in EMR+GA group (p < 0.001). Long term EMR exposure resulted in testicular physiopathology via oxidative damage and inflammation. GA may have ameliorative effects on the prepubertal rat testes physiopathology. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Environ Toxicol 31: 1771-1784, 2016.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of methotrexate (MTX) on the lung via inflammatory and apoptotic pathway biomarkers and the role of gallic acid (GA). METHODS In this study, twenty four male Wistar-Albino rats weighing 300-350g were divided into 3 groups as follows; Control group (0.1ml/oral saline, for 7 days+2nd day i.p.). MTX group (20mg/kg, single dose, on 2nd day). MTX+GA group (15mg/kg, orally, for 7 days). Comet analysis, oxidant-antioxidant status, IMA were conducted. Histopathological analyses were evaluated. RESULTS Comet assay on the blood, TOS and OSI values in the lung were increased in the group II compared with the control group (p<0.05). GA significantly reduced the comet score and IMA levels in the blood, TOS and OSI values in the lung tissue in group III compared with group II (p<0.05). Immunohistochemically PGE2, TNF-α, CRP, serum SAA, Caspase 3 and Caspase 9 expressions significantly increased in group II compared with the control group (p<0.001) and GA treatment ameliorated these parameters significantly in group III compared with group II (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS MTX caused oxidative stress and DNA damage in the blood tissue and caused oxidative damage, inflammation and apoptosis in the lung tissue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dexpanthenol (Dxp), antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, plays an important role in the repair systems against oxidative stress and inflammatory response. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of Dxp on experimental endometriosis model. STUDY DESIGN A prospective experimental study was conducted in Experimental Animal Laboratory of Mustafa Kemal University, Hatay. Twenty nonpregnant female Wistar albino rats, in which experimental model of endometriosis was surgically induced, were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group 1 was administered 500 mg/kg/d Dxp intraperitoneally for 14 days, and group 2 was given the same amount of saline solution. After 2 weeks of medication, the rats were killed and implant volumes, histopathologic scores; and levels of serum total antioxidant status, total oxidant status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) were evaluated. Plasma and peritoneal fluid levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were analyzed. RESULTS The endometriotic implant volumes, histopathologic scores, and serum TOS and OSI values were significantly decreased ( P < .05) in the Dxp group compared to the control group. Plasma and peritoneal fluid TNF-α levels were significantly decreased ( P < .05) in the Dxp group compared to the control group. CONCLUSION Dexpanthenol has free radical scavenger effects, and antioxidant properties has significantly regressed endometriotic implant volumes, histopathologic scores, and serum TOS and OSI values. Serum and peritoneal fluid TNF-α levels were significantly decreased in the Dxp group. So Dxp decreased oxidative stress.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to elucidate the etiology and treatment of primary ovarian insufficiency, which is of unknown cause in 95% of the cases. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients aged 18-40 years who presented to Dicle University Faculty of Medicine Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology between June 2012 and January 2014 and were diagnosed as having primary ovarian insufficiency based on their clinical and endocrinologic data, and 30 healthy controls were included in this study. Results: No significant differences were found between patients with primary ovarian insufficiency and control subjects in demographic data and lipid profile levels, thyroid- stimulating hormone, prolactin, and glucose. However, the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and levels of follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, and oxidative stress index were significantly higher in patients with primary ovarian insufficiency than in control subjects. In the correlation analysis, follicle-stimulating hormone exhibited a positive correlation with total oxidant status, oxidative stress index, and the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (r=0.573** p<0.001, r=0.584** p<0.001, r=0.541 p<0.001, respectively) and correlated negatively with total antioxidant status (r=-0.437** p<0.001). Conclusion: The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, total oxidant status, and oxidative stress index levels are elevated in primary ovarian insufficiency. Therefore, anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory treatment might be administered to patients in the early stage of primary ovarian insufficiency. However, larger studies are needed to clarify whether these elevated levels are a cause or a consequence of primary ovarian insufficiency.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bipolar disorder is one of the most debilitating psychiatric disorders characterized by disruptive episodes of mania/hypomania and depression. Considering the complex role of biological and environmental factors in the etiology of affective disorders, recent studies have focused on oxidative stress, which may damage nerve cell components and take part in pathophysiology. The aim of the present study was to contribute to the data about oxidative stress in bipolar disorder by detecting the total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) levels of manic episode (ME) and euthymic (EU) patients and by comparing these results with those of healthy controls (HCs). METHODS The study population consisted of 28 EU outpatients meeting the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria for bipolar disorder I and 23 inpatients who were currently hospitalized in a psychiatry ward with the diagnosis of the bipolar disorder ME according to the DSM-5 criteria. Forty-three healthy subjects were included in the study as the control group (HC). Serum TAS, TOS, and OSI levels of all the participants were determined. RESULTS Statistical analysis of serum TAS, TOS, and OSI levels did not show any significant differences between the ME patients, EU patients, and HCs. Comparison between the bipolar disorder patients (ME+EU) and HC also did not reveal any statistically significant difference between these two groups in terms of serum TAS, TOS, and OSI levels. CONCLUSION To date, studies on oxidative stress in bipolar disorder have led to controversial results. In the present study, no statistically significant difference was detected between the oxidative parameters of bipolar disorder patients and HCs. In order to comprehensively evaluate oxidative stress in bipolar disorder, further studies are needed.

Abstract
In recent years, pancreatic pathologies have become common problems and their etiology and pathogenesis are generally unknown. Studies have shown that smoking may increase the risk of pancreatic disorders but very scant knowledge is available about the pathogenesis of cigarette induced pancreatic pathology. This study aimed to evaluate the oxidative stress status, biochemical, pathological and immunohistochemical findings of rats exposed to cigarette smoke, pathogenesis of smoking related pancreatic damage and usability of Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) for amelioration of cigarette smoking induced harmful effects on rat pancreas. Twenty eight female, Sprague Dawley rats were randomly distributed into three groups. The sham group (S) (n = 8), rats were given 0.1 ml of physiological serum by oral gavage for 8 weeks. The cigarette smoke exposed group (CSE) (n = 10), rats were exposed to successive periods of cigarette smoke for 2 hours per day per 8 weeks and given 0.1 ml of physiological serum orally during the study. The cigarette smoke exposed and ALA treated group (CSE + ALA) (n = 10), animals were exposed to cigarette smoke (2 hours per day per 8 weeks) and simultaneously treated with 100 mg per kg per day ALA orally during the study. At the end of the study, the serum samples were collected for insulin, glucagon, glucose and amylase analyses. Tissue samples were collected for biochemical, histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations. Total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS) levels and oxidative stress index (OSI) were evaluated in the pancreas samples. Immunohistochemical analyses of insulin, glucagon, calcitonin gene related protein (CGRP), active caspase-3, hypoxia inducible factor-1 (Hif-1), Hif-2 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) expressions of pancreas were examined. Cigarette smoke caused statistically significant increase in serum amylase and glucose but decreased insulin levels indicating both endocrine and exocrine cell damage. There were no statistically significant differences in serum glucagon levels between the groups. Histopathological examination of the pancreas exhibited generally normal tissue architecture but slightly degenerative and apoptotic cells were noticed both in the endocrine and exocrine part of the pancreas in the CSE group. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed marked increase in active caspase-3, Hif-1 and Hif-2, CGRP and TNF-α expressions with a slight increase in glucagon immunoreactivity in cells while a marked decrease was observed in insulin expression in some Langerhans islets in the CSE group. ALA ameliorated biochemical and pathological findings in the CSE + ALA group. These findings clearly demonstrated that cigarette smoke can cause damage in both endocrine and exocrine cells in rat pancreas and ALA has an ameliorative effect of cigarette induced lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Compared to patients without a collateral supply, long-term cardiac mortality is reduced in patients with well-developed coronary collateral circulation (CCC). Cardiovascular risk markers, such as N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) are independent predictors for cardiovascular mortality. OBJECTIVES The main goal of this study was to examine the relationship between CCC and cardiovascular risk markers. METHODS We prospectively enrolled 427 stable coronary artery disease patients with chronic total occlusion (mean age: 57.5±11.1 years). The patients were divided into two groups, according to their Rentrop scores: (a) poorly developed CCC group (Rentrop 0 and 1) and (b) well-developed CCC group (Rentrop 2 and 3). NT-proBNP, hs-CRP, hs-cTnT, uric acid and other biochemical markers were also measured. The SYNTAX score was calculated for all patients. RESULTS The patients in the poorly developed CCC group had higher frequencies of diabetes and hypertension (p<0.05 for both). Compared to the well-developed CCC group, the SYNTAX score, Hs-cTnT, hs-CRP, NT-proBNP, uric acid, neutrophil count and mean platelet volume (MPV) values were higher in patients with poorly developed CCC (p<0.05 for all). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, hs-cTnT (β=0.658, 95% CI=0.589-0.735, p<0.001) and NT-proBNP (β=0.991, 95% CI=0.987-0.995, p<0.001) as well as hs-CRP and diabetes were independent predictors of CCC. CONCLUSION Cardiac risk markers, such as NT-proBNP, hs-cTnT and hs-CRP are independently associated with CCC in stable coronary artery disease with chronic total occlusion.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the effects of grape seed extract (GSE) and vitamin E (Vit E) on oxidative stress and apoptosis in the hippocampus of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. In Control, Diabetic, and Diabetic treated with GSE (Diabetic+GSE) and vitamin E (Diabetic+Vit E) groups, oxidative stress index (OSI), TUNEL staining and Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, Bax, caspase-3, -9, and -8, Cyt-c, TNF-α, and NF-κB gene expressions were evaluated. OSI was significantly increased in the plasma and hippocampus of the Diabetic compared to Control group and decreased in Diabetic+GSE and Diabetic+Vit E groups compared to Diabetic. TUNEL positive neurons significantly increased in the hippocampus of the Diabetic group compared to Control and decreased in Diabetic+GSE (more prominently) and Diabetic+Vit E groups compared to Diabetic. In the hippocampus of the Diabetic group, Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL gene expressions were significantly decreased; Bax, caspase-3, -9, and -8, Cyt-c, TNF-α, and NF-κB gene expressions were significantly increased compared to Control. In Diabetic+GSE and Diabetic+Vit E groups, Bcl-2 gene expressions were significantly increased; Bcl-XL gene expressions did not differ compared to the Diabetic group. The expression of Bax, caspase-3, -9, and -8, Cyt-c, TNF-α, and NF-κB genes in the Diabetic+GSE group and the expression of caspase-3 and -9, TNF-α, and NF-κB genes in the Diabetic+Vit E group were significantly decreased compared to Diabetic. In conclusion, GSE (more prominently) and vitamin E decreased oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis occurring in the hippocampus of diabetic rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between oxidative stress markers and the duration of ischemia in rat mesenteric and peripheral ischemia models. METHODS Forty rats were divided into five equal groups, as follows: rats in Group I (control group) were sacrificed to determine the baseline characteristics of the serum markers; the superior mesenteric artery was clamped via a simple laparotomy to induce mesenteric ischemia in Groups II and III; the right common femoral artery was clamped to induce peripheral ischemia in Groups IV and V. Blood samples were taken at 2 (Groups II and IV) and 6 (Groups III and V) hours after these procedures. The serum total oxidative status (TOS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), oxidative stress index (OSI) and paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) enzyme activities were evaluated in the samples obtained from each group. RESULTS The OSI level of the control group was 91.00±5.46 (mean ± SD). The OSI levels taken 2 hours after the induction of mesenteric ischemia and peripheral ischemia were significantly higher (194.50±11.16 and 301.75±19.98, respectively (p<0.05)). However, these levels decreased to 151.88±17.02 (mesenteric ischemia) and 108.88±9.46 (peripheral ischemia) after 6 hours. The PON-1 levels of Group III (mesenteric ischemia at 6 hours) (99.75±7.26), Group IV (peripheral ischemia at 2 hours) (96.88±4.09), and Group V (peripheral ischemia at 6 hours) (111.25±10.33) were slightly elevated over that of the control group (87.38±5.31). However, the PON-1 level of Group II (mesenteric ischemia at 2 hours) (42.88±3.14) was lower than that of the other groups (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Despite the increment of oxidative markers in early periods of ischemia (2(nd) hour), which was a hypoxic response of ischemic cells, they have decreased markedly in prolonged ischemia. This might have been caused by the opening of some collateral circulation or the destruction of the ischemic cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation are seen in many dermatologic disorders, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, vitiligo, acne vulgaris, pemphigus vulgaris, and lichen planus. In alopecia areata (AA), there is increased production of ROS from perifollicular inflammatory cells. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the oxidative stress index (OSI) and lipid peroxidation by studying serum total oxidant capacity (TOC), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and malondialdehyde (MDA) values in AA patients. METHODS The study included 35 AA patients and a control group consisting of 30 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers. The serum TOC, TAC, and MDA values were measured, and the OSIs were calculated and compared in both groups. RESULTS The mean serum TOC (p < 0.001), MDA (p < 0.001), and OSI (p < 0.001) values were found to be significantly higher in AA patients than in the control group. The mean serum TAC value was significantly lower (p < 0.05) in cases than in controls. Significantly higher MDA (p < 0.001), TOC (p < 0.001), and OSI values (p < 0.001) and lower TAC values (p < 0.01) were found in severe AA than in mild or moderate AA. CONCLUSION The demonstrated results confirmed the presence of oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in AA. Whether these changes play a role in disease pathogenesis or result from the inflammatory process requires further investigation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 2450 MHz electromagnetic field (EMF) (wireless internet frequency) on the growth and development of female Wistar rats. The study was conducted on three groups of rats. The prenatal and postnatal groups were exposed to EMF 1 h/day beginning from intrauterine and postnatal periods, respectively. The third group was the sham-exposed group. Growth, nutrition and vaginal opening (VO) were regularly monitored. Serum and tissue specimens were collected at puberty. Histological examinations, total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) measurements in ovary and brain tissues and also immunohistochemical staining of the hypothalamus were performed besides the determination of serum FSH, LH, E2 and IGF-1 values. Birth masses of the groups were similar (p > 0.05). Mass gain per day was significantly lower and the puberty was significantly later in the prenatal group. Brain and ovary TOS and OSI values in the prenatal group were significantly increased (p < 0.05) compared to the control group. Serum LH levels of the prenatal and postnatal groups were increased, although serum FSH, and E2 values did not differ among the groups (p > 0.05). Histological examinations of the specimens revealed no statistically significant difference between the groups (p > 0.05). Exposure to 2450 MHz EMF, particularly in the prenatal period, resulted in postnatal growth restriction and delayed puberty in female Wistar rats. Increased TOS and OSI values in the brain and ovary tissues can be interpreted as a sign of chronic stress induced by EMF. This is the first longitudinal study which investigates the effects of EMF induced by wireless internet on pubertal development beside growth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It was the aim of this study to investigate the serum oxidative stress level in nonischemic patients with heart failure (HF). SUBJECTS AND METHODS The study included 37 patients who presented to the Department of Cardiology, Suleyman Demirel University, Isparta, Turkey, with a diagnosis of asymptomatic HF (New York Heart Association class I-II). The patients had a left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) of ≤40% and normal coronary arteries or nonsignificant stenosis (stenosis <40%). In addition, 30 age- and sex-matched normal patients were selected as the control group. Clinical and laboratory characteristics presumed to be associated with oxidative stress were evaluated. RESULTS Demographic characteristics were comparable. However, creatinine and potassium levels were higher in the HF than in the control group. Total oxidative status [2.42 μmol H2O2 Eq/l (range 0.74-5.86) vs. 1.81 μmol H2O2 Eq/l (range 0.42-3.45); p < 0.01], oxidative stress index [2.24 (range 0.63-5.33) vs. 1.53 (range 0.28-2.51); p < 0.01] and uric acid (6.1 ± 1.8 vs. 4.4 ± 1.1 mg/dl; p < 0.01) levels were significantly higher in the HF than in the control group. The total antioxidant capacity was similar in both groups [1.22 mmol Trolox Eq/l (range 0.61-1.99) vs. 1.18 mmol Trolox Eq/l (range 0.82-1.80); p = 0.77]. The γ-glutamyltransferase levels were also comparable in both groups [32 U/l (range 11-106) vs. 23 U/l (range 11-72); p = 0.10]. CONCLUSION The oxidative stress levels were higher in HF patients, and hence, oxidative stress may play an important role in poor prognosis of HF. Therefore, antioxidant treatment might be reasonable.

Abstract
High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is an independent risk factor for premature atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Plasma HDL exerts potent antioxidant activity. We evaluated parameters associated with oxidative stress in participants with low HDL-C. This study included 32 patients with low HDL-C (≤35 mg/dL) and 33 age- and sex-matched control patients with normal HDL-C (>35 mg/dL). We evaluated clinical and laboratory parameters that are associated with oxidative stress. The oxidative stress index (OSI) levels were significantly higher in the low HDL-C group (3.32 [0.01-13.3] vs 0.74 [0.17-3.55] AU; P < .01) and negatively correlated with HDL-C levels. We suggest that change in OSI and uric acid levels in the study group might indicate increased oxidative status in patients with low HDL-C. This may be associated with increased cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate alterations in hemorheology induced by L-carnosine, an anti- oxidant dipeptide, and to determine their relationship to oxidative stress in density-separated erythrocytes of aged and young rats. 28 male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups as aged (Aca), young (Yca) L-carnosine groups (250 mg/kg L-carnosine, i.p.) and aged (As), young (Ys) control groups (saline, i.p.). Density separation was further performed to these groups in order to separate erythrocytes according to their age. Blood samples were used for the determination of erythrocyte deformability, aggregation; and oxidative stress parameters. Erythrocyte deformability of Yca group measured at 0.53 Pa was lower than Aca group. Similarly, deformability of least-dense (young) erythrocytes of Yca group was decreased compared to least-dense erythrocytes of Aca groups. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of Aca group was higher and oxidative stress index (OSI) lower than As group. Although L-carnosine resulted in an enhancement in TAC of aged rats, this favorable effect was not observed in erythrocyte deformability and aggregation in the dose applied in this study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress has been shown to contribute to the pathogenesis of acute and chronic lung inflammatory diseases. This article aimed to evaluate the oxidant/antioxidant status of children with acute bronchiolitis through the measurement of plasma total antioxidant capacity, total oxidant status, and oxidative stress index. METHODS Children with acute bronchiolitis admitted to the pediatric emergency department of a university hospital between January and April of 2012 were compared with age-matched healthy controls. Patients with acute bronchiolitis were classified as mild and moderate bronchiolitis. Oxidative and antioxidative status were assessed by measurement of plasma total antioxidant capacity, total oxidant status, and oxidative stress index. RESULTS Thirty-one children with acute bronchiolitis aged between 3 months and 2 years, and 39 healthy children were included. Total oxidative status (TOS) was higher in patients with acute bronchiolitis than the control group (5.16±1.99 μmol H2O2 versus 3.78±1.78 μmol H2O2 [p=0.004]). Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) was lower in children with bronchiolitis than the control group (2.51±0.37 μmol Trolox eqv/L versus 2.75±0.39 μmol Trolox eqv/L [p=0.013]). Patients with moderate bronchiolitis presented higher TOS levels than those with mild bronchiolitis and the control group (p=0.03, p<0.001, respectively). Patients with moderate bronchiolitis had higher oxidative stress index levels than the control group (p=0.015). Oxygen saturation level of bronchiolitis patients was inversely correlated with TOS (r=-0.476, p<0.05). CONCLUSION The balance between oxidant and antioxidant systems is disrupted in children with moderate bronchiolitis, which indicates that this stress factor may have a role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Paraoxonase is a high-density lipoprotein-bound antioxidant enzyme that inhibits atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction. Coronary collateral flow is a crucial clinical entity with significant impact on the cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study sought to determine the relationship between the degree of angiographically visible coronary collateral circulation and serum paraoxonase activity. METHODS The study population included 98 patients (mean age=57.9+/-10.1 years, 65 men) with angiographically documented total occlusion in one of the major coronary arteries. Development of collaterals was classified by Rentrop's method. Patients were defined as having poorly developed collaterals for Rentrop grades 0 and 1 or well-developed collaterals for Rentrop grades 2 and 3. Serum paraoxonase and arylesterase activities were measured spectrophotometrically. RESULTS Statistically significant differences between well and poorly developed collateral groups in respect to serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (P=0.046), and serum paraoxonase (P=0.001), and arylesterase (P=0.014) activities were present. Serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (chi=4.15, beta=-0.347, P=0.032) and serum paraoxonase activity (chi=10.43, beta=0.008, P=0.022) were independent predictors of well-developed coronary collateral flow. Serum paraoxonase activity gradually increased from collateral grade 0 to collateral grade 3 (analysis of variance P=0.003). Serum paraoxonase (r=0.362 and P<0.001) and arylesterase (r=0.245 and P=0.015) activities were both correlated with collateral flow grade. CONCLUSION Findings of this study suggest that serum paraoxonase activity is independently associated with the degree of coronary collateral flow and reduced serum paraoxonase activity might represent a biochemical marker of impaired coronary collateral flow.

Abstract
Coronary collateral circulation provides an important response to ischemic heart disease and partially determines the severity of ischemic myocardial damage. Practical significance of coronary collateral circulation has long been a matter of uncertainty due to concerns about the means for gauging coronary collateral circulation and the modest populations to be representative for all patients with ischemic heart disease. It is possible that prognosis may be defined by the balance between the harm of atherosclerotic burden, and the benefit from coronary collateral circulation. Atherosclerosis acts as a potent trigger for the formation of coronary collateral circulation, but at the same time it has deleterious effects on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Coronary collateral circulation has a complex role in modifying the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in ischemic heart disease. A more comprehensive insight into the exact determinants of coronary collateral circulation would help establish its potential implications in clinical and epidemiological realm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitral stenosis (MS) is a common cause of atrial fibrillation (AF). Oxidative stress and inflammation factors were shown to be involved in atrial remodeling. The study aim was to compare the oxidative parameters and prolidase activity in severe MS patients with and without AF. METHODS The study population was comprised of 33 patients with MS and sinus rhythm (group I), 27 patients with MS and AF (group II), and 25 healthy controls (group III). Plasma prolidase activity, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidative status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) were determined. Additionally, we measured tissue TOS and TAC in patients with mitral valve replacement. RESULTS TAC and OSI were higher, but TOS and prolidase were lower in patients with MS than control (all p <0.001). These parameters were similar in group I and group II (ANOVA p >0.05). Tissue TAC was significantly lower in group II than group I (0.015 +/- 0.01 vs. 0.026 +/- 0.01 mmol Trolox equiv/L, p = 0.014), tissue TOS was similar between groups I and II (0.24 +/- 0.06 vs. 0.22 +/- 0.05 mmol Trolox equiv/L, p = 0.161). Presence of AF was correlated with systolic blood pressure, left atrial diameter, plasma TAC, tissue TAC, plasma TOS, plasma OSI, and plasma prolidase activity. Tissue TAC level (beta = -0.435, p = 0.006) and left atrial diameter (beta = 0.460, p = 0.003) were independently related with presence of AF in patients with MS. CONCLUSIONS This study suggested that the presence of AF in patients with severe MS may be associated with the plasma prolidase activity, tissue and plasma oxidative parameters.
