    In Vivo Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Myrtus Communis Against Ionizing Radiation-Induced Gastrointestinal Injury: Trod-Grog Study
    (Kare Publishing, 2025) Pekyürek Varan, M.P.; Atasoy, O.; Ozyilmaz, N.; Pazarbaşı, S.E.; Ertas, B.; Ercan, F.; Atasoy, B.M.
    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the in vivo radioprotective effects of Myrtus communis (MC) on the gastrointestinal system. METHODS: A total of 30 female rats were divided into four groups: i) Control; ii) irradiation (IR) only; iii) MC-pretreated; and iv) MC-treated. The rats received oral MC extract (100 mg/kg/day) for 4 days before exposure to 10 Gy IR or continued until sacrifice. On the fourth day of IR exposure, the rats were sacrificed, and histopathological and biochemical analyses were performed on the ileum, pancreas, and liver tissues. RESULTS: Malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase levels decreased in both MC-treated groups, while glutathione levels and Na+-K+-ATPase activity increased (p<0.01), with significant histopathological improvements compared to the IR-only group. CONCLUSION: The results of this study demonstrate that MC significantly decreases ionizing radiation-induced oxidative and inflammatory damage in the gastrointestinal systems of rats. Therefore, it may be regarded as a new candidate with radioprotective potential for future clinical application. © 2025, Kare Publishing. All rights reserved.

    Comparison of Intraoperative Biliary Anastomosis Stenting Technique in Living-Donor Liver Transplantation: Review of 41 Patients
    (Turkiye Klinikleri, 2022) Dönmez, R.; Balas, Ş.; Göktuğ, U.U.; Emek, E.; Tokat, Y.
    Background/aim: Biliary fistula is one of the most important complications in liver transplantation. Complications can vary from simple local peritonitis to death, and various techniques have been described to prevent them. In this study, we compared two different stenting methods used in biliary tract anastomosis in living-donor liver transplantation. Material and methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 41 living-donor liver transplantations that were performed due to end-stage liver failure between August 2019 and November 2020. Patients were grouped according to the stenting technique used in biliary anastomosis. Postoperative biliary tract complications were investigated. Results: Biliary fistulas were observed in 2 (7.4%) patients in the internal stent group, while 4 (28.5) fistulas were observed in the external stent group. Biliary tract stricture was observed in 2 (7.4%) patients in the internal stent group, but there was no statistical difference in complications. The preoperative MELD score (p = 0.038*) was found to be statistically significant in regard to developing complications. Conclusion: Our study did not show the effect of stenting methods used during biliary anastomosis on the development of complications. However, larger randomized controlled studies are needed. © TÜBİTAK.
