Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with a higher risk of complications in pregnancy. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been evaluated in numerous inflammatory diseases. We evaluated the possible role of these markers in SLE pregnancies. Forty-six pregnant patients with an already established diagnosis of SLE were included in the study. Complete blood counts were obtained upon admission for delivery. Seven patients were diagnosed with a flare and managed with multiple medications, whereas rest of the patients were not on any treatment or managed with monotherapy. NLR and PLR values were also evaluated between two groups and no statistically significant difference was found (p=.44 and p=.80, respectively). This study is the first to evaluate the possible role of NLR and PLR in pregnant SLE patients in the literature. Further studies are warranted for an elaborate evaluation of NLR and PLR in lupus pregnancies.Impact StatementWhat is already known on this subject? Pregnancy in the setting of SLE is associated with a higher risk of complications. Active disease increases the risk of adverse outcomes further.What the results of this study add? This study is the first to evaluate NLR and PLR in pregnancies complicated by SLE. No significant association between the course of the disease in pregnancy and NLR/PLR was documented.What the implications are of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Further studies on the markers to predict prognosis of SLE in pregnancy are required to improve the maternal and neonatal outcomes in this exclusive group of high-risk patients.

Abstract
AIM To predict the myometrial invasion with three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography in a cohort of patients with endometrial carcinoma by a previously described technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS The moyometrial infiltration was evaluated by 3D ultrasonography before surgery in 54 patients with endometrial carcinoma. After scanning the whole uterus by ultrasonography, three perpendicular planes were identified to find the shortest myometrial tumor-free distance to serosa (TDS) by examining the lateral, anterior, posterior, and fundal parts of the myometrium. Myometrial infiltration was also estimated by the subjective impression of the examiner. The reference standards consist of myometrial infiltration and TDS which are measured by an experienced pathologist. RESULTS Forty-five patients (age range 45-86 years) were included for the final analysis. Myometrial invasion was ˂50% in 36 and ≥50% in 9 cases at histologic sections. The TDS which is measured with 3D ultrasonography was positively correlated with histologically measured TDS (r=0.474, p=0.001). The best cut-off value for ultrasonographically measured TDS was 9 mm with a sensitivity of 89%, specificity of 61%, positive predictive value of 36%, and negative predictive value of 96%. Subjective impression has a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 88%, positive predictive value of 69%, and negative predictive value of 100%. Cervical involvement was correctly identified in all 6 cases by subjective impression. CONCLUSION This validation study confirms the 3D ultrasonography as a valuable tool for the evaluation of myometrial infiltration in patients with endometrial carcinoma.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are still among the most commonly researched titles in perinatology. To shed light on their etiology, new prevention and treatment strategies are the major targets of studies. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relation between gene polymorphism of one of the products of trophoblasts, pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) and PE/IUGR.A total of 147 women (IUGR, n = 61; PE, n = 47; IUGR + PE, n = 37; eclampsia, n = 2) were compared with 103 controls with respect to the sequencing of exon 14 of the PAPP-A gene to detect (rs7020782) polymorphism. Genotypes "AA" and "CC" were given in the event of A or C allele homozygosity and "AC" in A and C allele heterozygosity. Our findings revealed that the rate of AA, CC homozygotes, and AC heterozygotes did not differ between groups. Moreover, there was no difference in the distribution of PAPP-A genotypes among the patients with IUGR, PE, IUGR + PE, or eclampsia. Finally, birth weight, rate of the presence of proteinuria, and total protein excretion on 24-hour urine were similar in the subgroups of AA, AC, and CC genotypes in the study group. Our study demonstrated no association between PAPP-A gene rs7020782 polymorphism and PE/IUGR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of resveratrol in a rat model of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). STUDY DESIGN After PCOS model was formed by subcutaneous dihydrotestosterone pellets, rats were randomly divided into 2 groups. The first group (n = 7) was treated with 1 mL/kg/d isotonic saline and the second group (n = 7) was treated with 10 mg/kg/d resveratrol. Seven rats were taken as controls without any medication. RESULTS Our results showed (1) significant reduction in the number of antral follicle counts (P < .01); (2) significantly decreased plasma anti-Mullerian hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1 levels (P < .01 and P < .05, respectively); (3) significantly lower superoxide dismutase activity (P < .05); and (4) significantly increased glutathione peroxidase content (P < .01) following resveratrol treatment. CONCLUSION Resveratrol appears to be effective in the treatment of PCOS due to its antioxidant properties. Future clinical studies with different dosages might provide useful implementations to our practice.

Abstract
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate whether atorvastatin can ameliorate the uterine microenvironment in diabetes mellitus. Six non-diabetic (control) and 12 diabetic mature female Sprague-Dawley albino rats were used in this study. Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injections of 60 mg/kg streptozotocin, and 10 mg/kg/day of oral atorvastatin was administered for 4 weeks via orogastric tubes. The animals were euthanized, and blood samples were collected via cardiac puncture for biochemical analysis. Bilateral hysterectomy was performed for the histopathologic examination. Endometrial gland degeneration and stromal fibrosis scores concomitant with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) immunoexpressions were analyzed. The endometrial gland degeneration scores, stromal fibrosis scores and VEGF immunoexpression was significantly lower, and the EGFR immunoexpression was significantly higher in the atorvastatin-treated diabetic rats when compared to the non-treated diabetic group, suggesting that atorvastatin ameliorates the uterine microenvironment in diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Oxytocin (OT), a neurohypophysial nonapeptide, plays dual role as a neurotransmitter/neuromodulator and a hormone. It has also well known protective properties against ischemia/reperfusion organ damage. This study investigated the effect of OT on experimentally induced ovarian torsion/de-torsion ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to five treatment groups (n=7/group): Group 1, sham-operated; Group 2, torsion; Group 3, 80 IU/kg of OT administration 30 min prior to torsion; Group 4, torsion/de-torsion; and Group 5, torsion followed by 80 IU/kg of OT administration 30 min prior to de-torsion. OT administration significantly decreased the tissue malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in both the torsion and OT group (Group 3), and torsion/de-torsion OT group (Group 5) in comparison with the torsion-only group (Group 2) and torsion/de-torsion group (Group 4). Histopathological finding scores including follicular degeneration, edema, hemorrhage, vascular congestion, and infiltration by inflammatory cells were found to be significantly decreased in the torsion and OT group (Group 3), and torsion/de-torsion OT group (Group 5) when compared with the torsion-only group (Group 2) and torsion/de-torsion group (Group 4). In conclusion, these results, verified with histopathologic evaluation and biochemical assays, suggest a probable protective role for OT in ischemia and I/R injury in rat ovaries.

Abstract
Neural tube defects are congenital defects of the central nervous system caused by lack of neural tube closure. First trimester screening for aneuploidy has become widespread in the recent years. Fetal intracranial translucency (IT) can be easily observed in normal fetuses in the mid-sagittal plane. The absence of IT should be an important factor taken into consideration in the early diagnosis of open spinal defects. 3D ultrasonography is especially useful in cases of spinal anomalies where the visualization of the fetal structure is insufficient due to fetal position. We present a combination of intracranial translucency and 3D sonography used in the first trimester diagnosis of a neural tube defect case.

Abstract
This is the case report of a pregnant woman who refused pregnancy termination when diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) functional class 2-3 at the 24th week of gestation and of her newborn. A pregnant woman with PAH functional class 2-3 was treated with inhaled prostacyclin analog (iloprost), oral sildenafil, oxygen, and low molecular weight heparin. She delivered at 32nd week by Cesarean section. The infant required oxygen up to 36th week postconceptional age and had a short steroid treatment. The mother needed close cardiovascular monitorization, intensive oxygen and pulmonary vasodilator therapy for 2 months and was discharged with oxygen and oral iloprost treatment. A multidisciplinary approach together with pulmonary vasodilator therapy may be succesful in such a high-risk pregnant woman.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Uterine rupture after hysteroscopic septum resection is a rare complication, and its frequency is reported to be approximately 1-2.7%. Uterine perforation and monopolar resection during hysteroscopy are well-known risk factors for subsequent uterine rupture during pregnancy. PRESENTATION OF CASE We present a case of recurrent uterine ruptures during consecutive pregnancies in a patient who had undergone hysteroscopic septum resection for recurrent pregnancy loss. DISCUSSION Recurrent uterine rupture due to hysteroscopic septum resection in pregnancy is a very rare condition. In the present case we noted that the first two uterine ruptures resulted from uterine contractions; however, the third rupture occurred spontaneously and earlier in gestation. As each uterine rupture occurred earlier than the rupture in the previous gestation, a history of uterine rupture during pregnancy should raise provider suspicion about the possibility of earlier uterine rupture recurrence. CONCLUSION Uterine rupture may occur in pregnancies after hysteroscopic resection of the uterine septum. However, if a patient has a history of uterine rupture during previous pregnancies, the risk of uterine rupture may increase for earlier gestational ages in subsequent pregnancies. The patient must be informed about both the risks of uterine rupture during pregnancy after hysteroscopic septum resection and that recurrent ruptures may occur at earlier gestational weeks than during previous pregnancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Borderline paratubal cysts are rare entities. These tumors are identified as epithelial proliferation without stromal invasion. CASE A 19-year-old virgin patient was admitted to our clinic with abdominal pain and nausea. The sonographic evaluation showed a left adnexal mass 89 × 80 mm in diameter with solid tissue projections. Doppler examination revealed no significant blood supply. At surgery, a torsed left paratubal cyst 10 cm in diameter and normal bilateral ovaries were encountered. Cystectomy was performed and of frozen section revealed a borderline Fallopian tube neoplasm. Final pathology review was reported as a serous borderline paratubal tumor. CONCLUSION The evaluation of the structure of cyst by ultrasound and the performance of intraoperative frozen section analysis are two important issues to diagnose the nature of a cyst. Fertility-sparing surgery is the main point of management.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a benign and common disorder that is characterized by ectopic endometrium outside the uterus. Extrapelvic endometriosis, like of the vulva, is rarely seen. We report a case of a 47-year-old woman referred to our clinic due to complaints of a vulvar mass and periodic swelling of the mass at the time of menstruation. During surgery, the cyst ruptured and a chocolate-colored liquid escaped onto the surgical eld. The cyst was extirpated totally. Hipstopathological examination showed ndings compatible with endometriosis. She was asked to follow-up after three weeks. The patient had no complaints and the incision eld was clear at the follow-up.

Abstract
Tubal torsion is a very rare event, especially in pregnancy. We present a case of a patient of 20 weeks gestation that was admitted to our clinic with acute abdomen. Radiological and biochemical investigations did not reveal the cause of abdominal pain which resulted in laparatomic exploration. During the operation, the paratubal cystic mass, previously explored by ultrasonographic examination, and the left fallopian tube were found twisted among themselves. Salpingectomy was performed due to the necrotic appearance of the fallopian tube.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a benign and common disorder that is characterized by ectopic endometrium outside the uterus. Extrapelvic endometriosis, like of the vulva, is rarely seen. We report a case of a 47-year-old woman referred to our clinic due to complaints of a vulvar mass and periodic swelling of the mass at the time of menstruation. During surgery, the cyst ruptured and a chocolate-colored liquid escaped onto the surgical field. The cyst was extirpated totally. Hipstopathological examination showed findings compatible with endometriosis. She was asked to follow-up after three weeks. The patient had no complaints and the incision field was clear at the follow-up.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION To find the relationship between fetal Doppler findings and perinatal outcomes in intrauterine growth restriction. METHODS Eighty-two cases with a prenatal diagnosis of intrauterine growth restriction between November 2008 and July 2009 were included in this prospective study at Ege University School of Medicine. Fetuses were grouped according to Doppler parameters: those with normal Doppler findings (n = 43), and those with impaired arterial (n = 27) and venous systems (n = 12). RESULTS Out of 82 growth restricted cases, 43 (52.4%) had normal Doppler findings, while 27 (32.9%) displayed impaired arterial parameters and 12 (14.6%) had impaired venous parameters. The mean first minute Apgar scores were 7.57 +/- 1.53 for the group with normal Doppler flows, 6.8 +/- 2 for the group with an impaired arterial system, and 4 +/- 1.94 for the group with an impaired venous system. Two cases from the normal Doppler flow group (n = 42), four cases from the impaired arterial flow group (n = 27), and 11 cases from the impaired venous flow group (n = 11) had fifth minute Apgar scores under 6. Evaluation of the umbilical artery blood gas revealed acidosis in two cases from the normal Doppler flow group (n = 42), three cases from the impaired arterial system group (n = 27), and five cases from the impaired venous system group (n = 11). CONCLUSION A Doppler spectrum from normal to venous system impairment correlated with poor fetal outcomes including fetal acidosis, fetal mortality and morbidity, decreased Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min, and neonatal morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The results of pulmonary transplantation are compromised by acute and chronic rejection. We hypothesized that a liposomal form of aerosolized cyclosporine A (CsA) would be selectively deposited and concentrated in the lungs. The theoretical advantage of this therapy is selective pulmonary immunosuppression with prolonged utilization. METHODS Eighteen dogs were endotracheally intubated; aerosolized liposomal CsA was administered for 15 min. CsA levels were measured in whole blood, lung, trachea, heart, kidney, liver, and spleen at various times after treatment. RESULTS The lung rapidly absorbs aerosolized liposomal CsA; other organs have much lower concentrations. The retention of pulmonary CsA delivered by liposome aerosol is approximately 120 min in this model. CONCLUSIONS Aerosolized liposomal CsA is selectively deposited and concentrated in the lungs; other organs absorb less CsA.
