Various substances reach the saliva through endogenous synthesis in acinar cells or from plasma. Passive diffusion, transudation, diffusion, or selective transport are how these substances cross from plasma to saliva. There are a small number of studies in children and adults that have examined renal function and the ratio of serum and salivary creatinine. To date, no study has been conducted that examined the existence of this correlation in neonates. Our study aimed to examine whether there is a correlation between serum and salivary creatinine values in preterm infants.\u0000Methods: We conducted a prospective study that included 30 neonates, in whom serum and salivary creatinine levels were measured simultaneously in two-time spots.\u0000Results: The mean value of salivary to serum creatinine (sCr) ratio was 0.700. Salivary to sCr ratio was statistically significantly higher in newborns of gestational age (GA)<28 gestational weeks (mean value 0.825), compared to children with GA≥28 gestational weeks (mean value 0.566), student t-test; p=0.003. Logistic regression showed that the correlation between serum and salivary creatinine levels was more coherent in newborns with GA<28 weeks.\u0000Conclusions: In this study, it was examined for the first time whether there is a correlation between the values of serum and salivary creatinine in preterm infants. We found that the correlation between serum and salivary creatinine levels is strong in newborns with GA<28 weeks.","PeriodicalId":53255,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Experimental Investigations","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140729607","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}

Sodium benzoate (SB), a frequently used food additive, is generally used in alcoholic beverages, fruit, and vegetable juices, carbonated soft drinks, canned food, and various sauces. It is used to inhibit the formation of mold, yeast, and bacteria. This study was carried out to investigate the effects of SB exposure on angiogenesis and oxidant-antioxidant balance. Materials &amp; methods: Three different concentrations of SB, bevacizumab, and empty pellets were prepared, placed on chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), and examined for anti-angiogenesis. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total oxidant capacity (TOC) measurements were made in the albumen samples, and oxidative stress index (OSI) value was calculated. Results: The control group had no anti-angiogenic effect, but the bevacizumab group had a strong anti-angiogenic effect.10-3 M SB had a weak anti-angiogenic effect, but 10-4 M SB and 10-5 M SB showed no anti-angiogenic effect. TOC levels increased with SB in a dose-dependent manner. TAC levels decreased depending on the dose in the experimental groups with SB application. OSI levels increased depending on the dose increase in SB. Conclusions: SB exposure caused a dose-dependent increase in oxidative stress and anti-angiogenic effect in CAM model.","PeriodicalId":53255,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Experimental Investigations","volume":"10 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135042857","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}

We currently considered the import of vitamin C supplement during prepubertal crude oil-contaminated water ingestion on adult erectile mechanisms in Wistar rats. Materials and methods: 18 prepubertal male rats were divided into three groups and given saline, 2.5 ml CCW, and 2.5 ml CCW + vitamin C (10 mg/kg), separately, until adulthood. Cavernosa tissue responses to phenylephrine, acetylcholine, potassium chloride, and responses after incubation with glibenclamide, nifedipine, methyl blue, and indomethacin were investigated. Serum testosterone and the cavernosa oxidative biomarkers were determined. Results: Testosterone and catalase activity were significantly reduced in CCW group, while malondialdehyde activity was significantly increased. Potassium significantly increased cavernosa contraction in CCW-treated group. Incubation of the cavernosa with nifedipine and indomethacin reduced the percentage of relaxation in CCW group. When compared to the vitamin C-supplemented groups, incubating the cavernosa with methyl blue and glibenclamide markedly reduced relaxation in CCW. Conclusions: Prepubertal CCW ingestion impaired adult cavernosa ATP-sensitive K+ channels, receptor and voltage-operated calcium channels, guanylate cyclase, and prostaglandin activity. Vitamin C administration reduced contractile impairments by increasing antioxidant activity in the cavernosa.","PeriodicalId":53255,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Experimental Investigations","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135831344","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}

Systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and aggregate inflammation systemic index (AISI), which are reliable indicators of inflammation because they are calculated using more than two immune cells, have not been widely studied. The present study is particularly important in delineating gender-based cancers and to suggest inflammation based therapy. Methods: SIRI and AISI were calculated from differential white blood cell counts using automatic hematology analyzer in 50 cervical patients, 50 prostate cancer patients and 61 corresponding controls. Results: Mean values of SIRI and AISI were significantly raised in cervical cancer patients and prostate cancer patients compared with corresponding control. The mean white blood cell and neutrophil counts were significantly raised while SIRI, monocyte counts and AISI were significantly reduced in prostate cancer patients compared with cervical cancer patients. Conclusions: This study suggests that inflammation is a phenomenon in cervical- and prostate- cancer patients but the impact of inflammation might be more in cervical cancer patients, suggesting that sex hormones might limit the efficacy of broad spectrum single cancer immunotherapy for both sexes.","PeriodicalId":53255,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Experimental Investigations","volume":"147 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135059704","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}
