Various genetic and environmental factors, including oxidative stress, are claimed to play a role in the etiopathogenesis of ASD. In this study, we aimed to examine the status of oxidative metabolism in ASD and the association between oxidative parameters and ASD symptom severity and subtype of ASD. \u0000Method: Thirty-three children and adolescents diagnosed with ASD (16 children diagnosed with autistic disorder, 13 children with pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, and 4 children with Asperger syndrome) according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) and 28 healthy controls, aged 2-17 years, were recruited in this study. Total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS) were evaluated using Rel Assay Kit in children and adolescents. The oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated by dividing the TOS values by the TAS values. Autistic symptoms for these patients were scored on the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). \u0000Results: In patients with ASD, TAS was statistically significantly lower and OSI statistically significantly higher than in healthy controls. There were no statistically significant differences in TOS between the ASD and control groups. There were no statistically significant differences between the subtypes of ASD in terms of oxidative stress parameters. In addition, TAS, TOS, and OSI values did not differ statistically significantly between the patients’ CARS groups, and were not associated with the CARS scores of the patients. \u0000Conclusion: Our findings suggest that oxidative imbalance is present in ASD and that oxidative stress may play a role in the etiopathogenesis of ASD.

All animals were on standard food ration of vivarium, with natural alteration of day and night.

All experimental procedures and operative interventions were done in accordance with WMA Statement on Animal Use in Biomedical Research. Rats from the 5th to the 20th day of gestation received ethanol in a dose of 6-8 g/kg/day, control rats – isocalorific sucrose solution.

The determination of alterations in expression profiles of ADAMTS family genes in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients may contribute to the explanation of tissue pathology and also new ideas for remedial approaches for this incurable but preventable disease. Therefore, the goal of this study was to describe and identify the distribution, characteristics, and any changes in the expression, in other words, immunoreactivity, for aggrecanases (ADAMTS4, 5, 9, and 15) proteins in AD brain. \u0000Methods: Nine cases that were autopsied in the Council of Forensic Medicine, Bursa Morgue Department in 2013, were selected. All of the cases were sent for autopsy to the institution within 8 hours after death. At autopsy, tissue samples were obtained for histopathological examination of organs for determining the cause of death. Out of these, two cases were diagnosed with AD by neurologists when they were alive. Immunohistochemical staining was performed on the brain slides by using relevant primary and secondary antibodies against aggrecanase proteins. All images were acquired using a X200 objective of a microscope (Olympus BX53) and evaluated by the staining intensity using a semi-quantitative scoring system. \u0000Results: ADAMTS4 and 5 were slightly under-expressed in the brains from autopsied AD cases compared to those of control brains and suggested that extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation was not endorsed in AD brain. On the other hand, ADAMTS9 and 15 aggrecanases were not found to be expressed in correspondent brain sections of AD and control cases. \u0000Conclusion: The current study demonstrated that some aggrecanases were found to be under-expressed in AD brains.

Drug-induced priapism comprises about 30% of the cases and it’s estimated 50% of them occurred with antipsychotic agents 2 . Although typical antipsychotics are often associated with priapism, there are some case reports with clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, and aripiprazole 3 . Here, we present a case report of dose dependent priapism due to 800 mg/day of amisulpiride. 26 year-old- male patient was admitted to our inpatient clinic with disorganized speech and behavior, and persecutory delusions and was diagnosed as schizophrenia . He was on amisulpiride 200 mg/day treatment for one year. His previous treatments were flupentixol depot, olanzapine, risperidone, and chlorpromazine. He was switched to amisulpiride 1 year ago due to side effect of weight gain. The patient’s physical and neurological examinations, urine-blood drug and substance screening, and labaratory tests were normal. Increasing the dose of Amisulpride 200/ mg per week, a dose of 800 mg/day was attained. In the first day of using 800 mg amisulpride, patient reported to have involuntary, painful erection which lasted about 6 hours. Urology consultation was requested and the urology specialist ruled out other causes and reported that priapism was probably due to amisulpride use. Urology consultant did not mention any other medical condition for priapism. So amisulpride treatment was stopped. We did not observe priapism for 3 days after stopping medication. As we knew that previously, patient was clinically stable with 600 mg/day of amisulpride, we decided to initate amisulpride again. We started at 400 mg/ day dose and increased to 600 mg/day after 3 days. We did not observe priapism with 600 mg/day.

ECT procedure is generally performed by hospitalizing the patient in our country (Turkey). However, there is no obligation to perform ECT by hospitalization, as ECT may be performed without hospitalizing the patient. Outpatient ECT gradually increases during acute and maintenance treatment. Outpatient ECT provides some advantages, such as reduced disruption in social and professional functionality and decrease in treatment costs. Studies that compare acute outpatient ECT and ECT applied after hospitalization are limited. In the present study, we aimed to review clinical characteristics of acute ambulatory ECT and ECT applied by hospitalization comprehensively and retrospectively. \u0000Methods: Inpatients and outpatients that received ECT in the Psychiatry Clinic of Dicle University between 2011 and 2014 were enrolled in the present study. Patients’ files between aforementioned years were reviewed retrospectively and data including patient age, gender, diagnosis according to DSM system, hospitalization period, whether ECT was applied, number of ECT sessions, and whether ECT was performed as an inpatient or outpatient procedure were recorded. For the patients who were hospitalized multiple times, each hospitalization was regarded as a different patient and data were assessed independently. For the outpatients who received ECT, all separate ECT sessions were added and ECT count was determined. Those who received maintenance ECT sessions were not included in the outpatient ECT group. Patients who received ECT by acute referral as outpatients were included in this group. \u0000Results: Between 2011 and 2014, 904 patients were admitted to the Psychiatry Clinic of Dicle University, Faculty of Medicine , of which 138 received ECT treatment. We also included in the study an additional 38 outpatients who received acute ECT. Inpatients of our clinic in application to ECT were rates of 15.3%. There was no statistically significant difference detected between age, number of ECT sessions applied, diagnosis, and gender of admitted inpatients and outpatients (p>0.05). \u0000Conclusions: In our study clinical characteristics of inpatients and outpatients subjects who admitted in order to practiced the ECT were determined to be similar.
