Biochemically, we showed that it also reduces Ca2+, glutamate, and NMDAR1 levels, which cause hippocampal neuronal damage. Conclusion: These results suggest that early and long-term tDCS may exert neuroprotective effects and reduce the exacerbation of motor and cognitive impairments in a rat model of 6-OHDA-induced PD. However, it also shows that tDCS has an effect on the glutamatergic pathway in PD and prevents neuronal excitotoxicity. Furthermore, this preclinical model may increase the potential use of therapeutic tDCS and serve as a translation platform to further define the therapeutic mechanism of tDCS for PD or other disorders.","PeriodicalId":10748,"journal":{"name":"Cukurova Medical Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136277757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients' demographics, laboratory findings, and medications included in their treatment were evaluated daily by a clinical pharmacist. The UpToDate® database was used to detect potential drug interactions.  Results: During the study, 797 potential drug-drug interactions were detected in 55 (83.33%) of 66 patients followed. All these interactions were evaluated by the clinical pharmacist and 114 recommendations were made to the physicians following the treatment regarding these potential interactions. Eighty-five (74.56%) of these recommendations were accepted by physicians. Within the scope of the study, each patient was followed up for a median of 9 (2-63) days, and the median value of potential drug interactions detected during this period was calculated as 7 (1-89).  Conclusion: The existence of pDDIs was significantly associated with the number of prescribed medications. Exposure to pDDIs is frequent in critically ill pediatric patients and related to the number of medications. Daily and close cooperation between clinicians and clinical pharmacists is recommended to prevent harmful outcomes of DDIs. In order to minimize this risk, it is recommended to avoid polypharmacy as much as possible and to offer alternatives to inducer and inhibitor drugs in treatment.","PeriodicalId":10748,"journal":{"name":"Cukurova Medical Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136277836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Calcium concentrations were determined using Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).  Results: TRPV6 and PMCA1 protein expression were significantly increased in both luminal and glandular epithelium of UI or E groups compared to the control group. TRPV6 mRNA expression levels were significantly lower in the UI group (0.525 ± 0.087) compared to the control group (0.809 ± 0.073). There was no significant difference in PMCA1 mRNA expression levels between the groups. Calcium concentration was significantly higher in women with UI (median (Q1-Q3): 50.57 [40.67-51.37], compared to the control group (median (Q1-Q3): 24.29 [20.11-25.55]). Conclusion: The present ﬁndings demonstrate altered expressions of TRPV6 and PMCA1 mRNA and protein, along with differences in calcium concentration among patients, especially those with the UI during the window of implantation. These differences might potentially be considered as one of the underlying causes of infertility.
