Abstract
Single cell C4 (SCC4) plants, discovered around two decades ago, are promising materials for efforts for genetic engineering of C4 photosynthesis into C3 crops. Unlike C4 plants with Kranz anatomy, they exhibit a fully functional C4 photosynthesis in just a single cell and do not require mesophyll and bundle sheath cell spatial separation. Bienertia sinuspersici is one such SCC4 plant, with NAD-malic enzyme (NAD-ME) subtype C4 photosynthesis. Its chlorenchyma cell consist of two compartments, peripheral compartment (PC), analogous to mesophyll cell, and central compartment (CC), analogous to bundle sheath cell. Since oxidative stress creates an important constraint for plants under salinity and drought, we comparatively examined the response of enzymatic antioxidant system, H2O2 and TBARS contents, peroxiredoxin Q, NADPH thioredoxin reductase C, and plastid terminal oxidase protein levels of PC chloroplasts (PCC) and CC chloroplasts (CCC). Except for protein levels, these parameters were also examined on the whole leaf level, as well as catalase and NADPH oxidase activities, water status and growth parameters, and levels of C4 photosynthesis related transcripts. Many C4 photosynthesis related transcript levels were elevated, especially under drought. Activities of dehydroascorbate reductase and especially peroxidase were elevated under drought in both compartments (CCC and PCC). Even though decreases of antioxidant enzyme activities were more prevalent in PCC, and the examined redox regulating protein levels, especially of peroxiredoxin Q, were elevated in CCC under both stresses, PCC was less damaged by either stress. These suggest PCC is more tolerant and has other means of preventing or alleviating oxidative damage.

Abstract
Drought is a prevalent natural factor limiting crop production in arid regions across the world. To overcome this limitation, seeds are sown much deeper to boost germination by soil moisture produced by underground water. Seed pretreatment can effectively induce deep-sowing tolerance in plants. In the present study, we evaluated whether H2O2 pretreatment of seeds can initiate metabolic changes and lead to improved deep-sowing tolerance in wheat. Pretreatment with 0.05 μM H2O2 promoted first internode elongation by 13% in the deep-sowing tolerant wheat cultivar "Tir" and by 32% in the sensitive cultivar "Kıraç-66" under deep-sowing conditions, whereas internode elongation was inhibited by diphenyleneiodonium chloride. In contrast to Tir seedlings, H2O2 levels in the first internode of Kıraç-66 seedlings increased under deep-sowing condition in the H2O2-treated group compared to controls. Moreover, these seedlings had significantly lower catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activities but higher NADPH oxidase (NOX) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities under the same conditions, which consequently induced greater H2O2 accumulation. Contrary to Tir, both total glutathione and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity decreased in Kıraç-66 after deep-sowing at 10 cm. However, H2O2 treatment increased the total glutathione amounts and the activities of glutathione-related enzymes (except GST and GPX) in the first internode of Kıraç-66. Taken together, these data support that H2O2 acts as a signaling molecule in the activation of antioxidant enzymes (specifically NOX, SOD, and CAT), regulation of both glutathione-related enzymes and total glutathione content, and upregulation of the cell wall-loosening protein gene TaEXPB23.

Abstract
The present work aimed to compare antioxidant response and lipid peroxide detoxification capacity of an arctic-alpine species Arabis alpina to its close relative model species Arabidopsis thaliana under acute short duration (3 h and 6 h) UV-B stress (4.6 and 8.2 W/m2). After 3 and 6 h exposure to UV-B, A. alpina showed lower lipid peroxidation and H2O2 accumulation when compared to A. thaliana. Moreover, Fv/Fm value of A. thaliana dropped to 0.70, while A. alpina dropped to 0.75 indicating better protection of PSII in this species. For elucidation of the antioxidant response, activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR) and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) were measured. SOD induction with 6 h of UV-B was more prominent in A. alpina. Also, A. alpina had higher chloroplastic FeSOD activity when compared to A. thaliana. APX activity was also significantly induced in A. alpina, while its activity decreased at 3 h or did not change at 6 h in A. thaliana. A. alpina was able to maintain constant CAT activity, but drastic decreases were observed in A. thaliana at both time points. Moreover, A. alpina was able to maintain or induce aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), alkenal reductases (AERs) and glutathione-S-transferases (GST) activity, while an opposite trend was observed in A. thaliana. These findings indicate that A. alpina was able to maintain/induce its antioxidant defence and lipid peroxide detoxification conferring better protection against UV-B.

Abstract
Bienertia sinuspersici performs single cell C4 photosynthesis without Kranz anatomy. Peripheral and central cytoplasmic compartments in a single chlorenchyma cell act as mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells. Development of this specialized mechanism is gradual during plant development. Young leaves perform C3 photosynthesis, while mature leaves have complete C4 cycle. The aim of this work was to investigate changes in redox regulation and antioxidant defence during transition from C3 to single cell C4 photosynthesis in B. sinuspersici leaves. First, we confirmed gradual development of C4 with protein blot and qRT-PCR analysis of C4 enzymes. After this activities and isoenzymes of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) and H2O2 and TBARS and glutathione pool and redox status (GSH/GSSG) were determined in young, developing and mature leaves during transition from C3 to single cell C4 photosynthesis. Activities of SOD, APX and POX decrease, while GR and DHAR were increased. However, most striking results were the changes in isoenzyme patterns of SOD, CAT and GR which were gradual through transition to C4 photosynthesis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Aortoesophageal fistula is an uncommon but mortal cause of massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The most common causes are thoracic aortic aneurisym, foreign body reaction, malignancy and postoperative complication. It can be seen in different pattern on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. There are surgical, endoscopic and interventional radiological treatment options, however, definitive treatment is surgical intervention. Diagnosis and treatment desicion should be made quickly because of rapid and mortal course. CASE REPORT In this article, a case of aortoesophageal fistula was presented that resulted in mortality as a result of massive bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cumulative exposure to alkylating agents may produce impaired reproductive function. Temozolomide is an alkylating agent approved for treating malignant gliomas. OBJECTIVE A pilot study was undertaken to investigate the effects of temozolomide on semen integrity in men with newly diagnosed or recurrent malignant gliomas. METHODS Eligible patients had no known fertility problems or impotence. Comprehensive semen analysis and serum sex hormones were obtained at baseline and following 3 and at least 6 months of temozolomide. RESULTS Thirteen men were recruited. Mean age was 42 years (28-58). Three had recurrent and 10 newly diagnosed malignant glioma. Four were unable to ejaculate or were azoospermic at baseline. Four provided samples at baseline and after at least 6 months of temozolomide. Five were unable to complete the study. Two of four patients with paired baseline and 6-month samples received 6 months of standard monthly temozolomide. Two patients received standard radiation and concurrent temozolomide followed by adjuvant temozolomide. At 6 months, three of these four patients demonstrated low sperm motility (two low at baseline); three had abnormally low percent normal forms (one abnormal at baseline); two developed abnormally low sperm density. Sex hormone values were normal in all four patients at all time points. CONCLUSION Changes in semen analysis parameters following 6 months of temozolomide were observed. The small sample size precludes any firm conclusions regarding the importance and duration of these findings and their relation to temozolomide exposure. With validation in a larger study, these results may have important implications for counseling prior to initiation of temozolomide therapy in these patients.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of recombinant human relaxin (rhRlx) after intravenous (iv) bolus administration and the absorption of rhRlx after intracervical or intravaginal administration were determined in nonpregnant women. The study was conducted in two parts. In part I, 25 women received 0.01 mg/kg rhRlx iv. After a minimum 7-day washout period, these women were dosed intracervically (n = 10) or intravaginally (n = 15) with 0.75 or 1.5 mg rhRlx, respectively, in 3% methylcellulose gel. Part II was a double-blind, randomized, three-way crossover study in 26 women. At 1-month intervals, each woman received one of three intravaginal treatments consisting of 0 (placebo), 1, or 6 mg rhRlx in 3% methylcellulose gel. The serum concentrations of relaxin following iv administration were described as the sum of three exponentials. The mean (+/- SD) initial, intermediate, and terminal half-lives were 0.09 +/- 0.04, 0.72 +/- 0.11, and 4.6 +/- 1.2 hr, respectively. Most of the area under the curve was associated with the intermediate half-life. The weight-normalized clearance was 170 +/- 50 mL/hr/kg. The observed peak concentration was 98 +/- 29 ng/mL, and the weight-normalized initial volume of distribution was 78 +/- 40 mL/kg, which is approximately equivalent to the serum volume. If central compartment elimination was assumed, the volume of distribution at steady state (Vss/W) was 280 +/- 100 mL/kg, which is approximately equivalent to extracellular fluid volume. Vss/W could be as large as 1300 +/- 400 mL/kg without this assumption.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
