Background Mechanical bowel obstruction (MBO) is one of the principal pathologies requiring emergency surgery and a significant worldwide cause of morbidity. The identification of patients in whom bowel obstruction resolves spontaneously is important in terms of preventing unnecessary surgical interventions and future potential adhesions. The decision-making process is difficult in patients presenting without classic examination findings. Methods 36 female Sprague-Dawley rats randomly divided into six experimental groups. In Group 1, 3 and 5, laparotomy was performed, with blood and tissue specimens being collected after 1, 2 and 6 h, respectively. In Group 2, 4 and 6, the ileum segment was ligated following laparotomy, and blood and tissue specimens were collected after 1, 2 and 6 h, respectively. The ileum specimens were examined macroscopically, after which 1-cm sections were taken and examined in terms of histopathological changes. IMA and SCUBE-1 levels were determined for each group, and macro- and microscopic tissue examination findings were compared between the groups. Results Comparison within the groups exposed to waiting times of 1 h (groups 1 and 2), 2 h (groups 3 and 4) and 6 h (groups 5 and 6) revealed higher mean IMA and SCUBE-1 levels in rats undergoing ligation together with incision (groups 2, 4, and 6) compared to those undergoing laparotomy only (groups 1, 3, and 5). Correlation analysis was applied to determine the relationship between total scores obtained from histopathological examination and IMA and SCUBE-1 values. The analysis revealed strong, significant and positive correlation between histopathological examination scores and IMA (r=0.643, p=0.000) and SCUBE-1 (r=0.509, p=0.002) values. Conclusion The study findings showed that both IMA and SCUBE-1 values increased in a strangulated MBO model in rats. We think that IMA and SCUBE-1 values can be used as a markers of damage in the early period in strangulated MBO, and that the patient's surgery requirement can thus be determined in the early period.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects of ethyl pyruvate (EP) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on ischemic tissue in brain and cardiac and hepatic tissues in experimentally induced carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication. Material and Methods: Thirty-five mature female Sprague Dawley rats were randomized into five groups of seven animals each. Group 1 received no CO or treatment. Rats in groups 2, 3, 4 and 5 were made to inhale a high-concentration 5000 ppm CO gas mixture for 60 min at 4 L/min. CO levels were then measured from 1 mL tail vein blood. Group 2 received no therapeutic agent, group 3 received 6 mg/kg intraperitoneal (ip) DMSO, group 4 received 50 mg/kg ip EP, group 5 received 50 mg/kg EP and 6 mg/kg DMSO ip. All rats were sacrificed by decapitation. Brain, cardiac and hepatic tissues were removed and histopathological scores were compared. Results: Comparison of group 2 with group 3 and group 2 with group 5 revealed that DMSO alone and EP + DMSO exhibited a reducing effect on degree of cerebral neuronal alteration, degenerative neuron rates, and total cardiac injury score (p=0.005, p=0.002, p=0.004 and p=0.002, p=0.001, p=0.004 respectively). There was no histopathological difference between group 2 and group 4 suggesting EP alone had no therapeutic effect on histopathological injury. Conclusion: Based on our study findings, EP administered alone exhibited no protective effects on the organ injuries investigated, while DMSO exhibited reducing effects on degree of neuron alteration, rates of degenerative neurons, and total cardiac injury scores. An ameliorating effect on cardiac and hepatic injury was more prominent with combined treatment.

Background and study aims: Esophageal burns due to ingestion of corrosive substances are frequently seen in both children and adults. However, there is no standard method of treatment to prevent associated mortality and morbidity. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of known antioxidants, namely N-acetyl cysteine and ethyl pyruvate, on esophageal damage due to sodium hydroxide-induced corrosive burns. Materials and methods: Thirty-five female rats were randomly assigned to five equal groups. Group 1 was the sham group, while Group 2 was the control group. Group 3 received N-acetyl cysteine, Group 4 received ethyl pyruvate, and Group 5 received both N-acetyl cysteine and ethyl pyruvate. Rats in the burn groups were gavage-fed with 0.2mL of 25% NaOH. All esophagi were extracted on day 4 for histopathological evaluation. Results: Total histopathological damage scores were evaluated at the end of the study. Groups 3 and 5 were significantly different from the control group in terms of total histopathological scores (p = 0.001), while no significant difference was seen with Group 4. Stenosis index results in groups 3 and 5 were similar to those seen with total histopathological scores (p = 0.004). Conclusion: N-acetyl cysteine, alone or in combination with ethyl pyruvate, may be useful in the treatment of esophageal damage associated with corrosive substances and in achieving histopathological improvement in an experimental setting.

Purpose: To investigate the healing effect of resveratrol on ischemia, inflammation and oxidative injury in brain and heart tissue of rats in an experimentally induced carbonmonoxide (CO) intoxication model. Methods: Twenty-eight mature female Spraque Dawley rats were randomized into four groups of seven animals each. Groups I and II inhaled room air for 60 minutes. Groups III and IV inhaled a high concentration of a 5000 ppm CO gas mixture at 4 L/min until loss of consciousness. Blood CO levels were measured from 1 mL blood specimens collected from the tail vein. Groups I and III received 1 mL of normal saline while groups II and IV received 25 mg/kg resveratrol intraperitoneally. At the end of 48 hour, the rats were sacrified and later blood, brain and heart tissue samples were taken for histopathological and biochemical evaluation. Neuron damage scores, percentages of degenerate neurons and apoptosis rates in the cortex and hypothalamus were calculated in brain tissues. Myocyte degeneration, vascular congestion and myocyte apoptosis rates were calculated in heart tissues. Total antioxidant (TAS), total oxidant (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) levels were also calculated from the tissue samples. Results: Histopathological evaluation revealed that resveratrol significantly reduced tissue damage in the brain when groups III and IV were compared (p<0.05). Resveratrol also reduced cardiac myocyte degeneration and myocyte apoptosis rate in heart tissue (p=0.004 and p=0.002). No positive effect was determined at analysis of antioxidant parameters. Conclusion: The results of this study investigated that resveratrol administration in experimental setting may be beneficial in healing injury secondary to CO intoxication in brain and heart tissue.

Aim: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition that requires early diagnosis and treatment. There is still a need for precise and non-invasive biomarkers that can be used to diagnose PE. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic value of Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) in patients with acute PE and ascertain the relationship between serum CT-1 level and disease prognosis and severity. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, the serum CT-1 levels of 165 patients with suspected acute PE were measured. The patients were divided into two groups, PE (+) and PE (-), based on their computed tomography angiography results. Their serum CT-1 levels were compared. Results: The CT-1 levels of the PE (+) group (median=4.18 pg/mL, range=3.57-9.55 pg/mL) was non-significantly (p=0.08) different from those of the PE (-) group (median=4.38 pg/mL, range=3.57-51.64 pg/mL). Based on the severity of the condition, there were significant differences (p=0.001) in the CT-1 levels of the patients in the intermediate-low risk group (median=4.19 pg/mL, range=3.62-5.32 pg/mL), intermediate-high risk group (median=4.06 pg/mL, range=3.57-9.31 pg/mL) and high risk group (median=5.01 pg/mL, range=3.89-9.55 pg/mL). Based on the clinical course, the CT-1 levels of the patients in the good clinical course group (median=4.15 pg/mL, range=3.57-9.31 pg/ml) were significantly different (p=0.004) from those in the poor clinical course group (median=4.53 pg/mL, range=3.66-9.55 pg/mL). Conclusion: CT-1 level was not observed to be a precise biomarker for the diagnosis of acute PE. However, our study demonstrated that the serum CT-1 levels can be used as a biomarker for ascertaining the severity and prognosis of patients with PE.

Ozer, Vildan; Gunaydin, Mucahit; Pasli, Sinan; Aksoy, Firdevs; Gunduz, Abdulkadir
Introduction: Anthrax is a zoonosis affecting herbivorous animals. Its agent is Bacillus anthracis and it is gram positive, aerobic or facultative anaerobic, immobile and has a capsule in the polypeptide structure. The incidence is gradually decreasing in the world and in our country. The disease is especially seen in areas where stock breeding is common. In this case series, 3 cases, one of them was mortal, took place after anthrax infected cow was eaten in February 2018 in Trabzon was shared. Case presentations: In the first case, as a result of the animal's meat was eaten, gastrointestinal anthrax and associated sepsis were seen. This patients blood culture was positive and she was died. Second case after contacting the patient who died, and third case after contacting the animal and eating its meat, diagnosed with cutaneous anthrax. Doxycycline treatment was started with cutaneous anthrax patients, these cases were recovered without any complications. Conclusion: We presented this article, to update our information about gastrointestinal anthrax and other anthrax types which are become a current issue again especially due to bioterrorism and also to keep it in mind in the differential diagnosis although it is rarely seen in our stock raising areas.
