RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate differences between HPV-16 mono- and HPV-16/18 co-infections in terms of cervical dysplasia and invasive cancer. METHODS: This multicentre, retrospective study spanned from December 2017 to December 2020, involving women who visited gynaecological oncology clinics for colposcopy with either HPV-16 or HPV-16/18 positivity. A total of 736 patients, 670 in Group 1 (HPV-16 positivity) and 66 in Group 2 (HPV-16/18 positivity), were compared for the presence of CIN2+ lesions detected by colposcopic biopsy or endocervical curettage (ECC). Exclusions included hysterectomized patients, those with prior gynaecological cancers, and patients with HPV positivity other than types 16 and 18. RESULTS: Among the included patients, 42.4% had a diagnosis of CIN2+ lesions. The cytology results demonstrated abnormal findings in 45.3% in Group 1 and 42.2% in Group 2, with no significant difference between the groups. ECC revealed CIN2+ lesion in 49 (8.7%) patients in group 1, while only 1 (1.7%) patient had CIN2+ lesion in group 2. There was no difference between 2 groups in terms of ECC result (p = 0.052). In group 1, 289 (43.1%) patients had CIN2+ lesion, while 23 (34.8%) patients had CIN2+ lesions in group 2. There was no difference between group 1 and 2 in terms of diagnosis of CIN2+ lesions (p = 0.19). CONCLUSION: This multicentre retrospective study found no significant differences between HPV-16 mono- and HPV-16/18 co-infections regarding cervical pathologies. Larger studies are needed to validate and further explore these findings.
RESUMEN
The longest lived reactive NO2 molecule formation in a dry and clean air environment under a high-temperature shock wave was investigated under three basic reactions (R2 for the O + NO system, R6 for the NO + NO3 system, and R7 for the NO + O3 system) in the atmospheric environment. With certain approaches, a DFTB3 model was used, which gave results close to the density functional theory. In the calculations, the related reactions up to 250 ps were examined at individual specific temperatures, and the temperature ranges that contributed to the formation of the NO2 molecule were determined. Moreover, a shock wave with both heating and cooling channels was applied only on R2 to see whether molecular concentrations were in good agreement with atmospheric information. The reaction products were examined under a shock wave of about 20 ps. At the end of the study, the applicability of the DFTB model to atmospheric systems was demonstrated by comparing it with experimental data and information. QCT approach was also used for the calculation of reaction rate constants of only O2-formation on the O + NO system. Here, all systems are focused on nitrogen species containing oxygen. In particular, the highest-population NO molecule that emerged in the lightning flash event was used as the reactant, while systems existing with the longest lived NO2 in the atmosphere after the lightning flash were focused in the product channel. As a result of the study, the hypothesis of geophysicists that almost all NO2 formed in the lightning flash event originates from the NO + O system was disproved. It has been proven that the presence of NO3 molecules that can withstand high temperatures in such systems should be evaluated.
RESUMEN
Central venous catheters (CVCs) are important for maintenance of childhood leukemia treatment but CVCs may develop complications. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the CVC-related complication rate, complication types, and outcome in children with acute leukemia. Complications developing in 310 CVCs (ports n=250, Hickman catheters n=60) inserted in 262 patients were evaluated. A total of 225,296 catheter days were screened. Median (range) CVC in-dwelling time was 661.5 (1 to 2636) days. In total, 157 complications developed of which 91 (58%) were infectious complications, 35 (22.3%) were vascular, 19 (12.1%) were surgical, and 12 (7.6%) were mechanical. Hickman catheters had a higher complication rate and were more prone to mechanical complications ( P <0.01) but there was no difference for other complications. A lower absolute neutrophil count at insertion was observed in children with infectious complications ( P <0.01). Seventy-eight of 136 catheters (57.3%) had to be removed prematurely. The overall complication rate was 0.65 per 1000 catheter days. In multivariate analysis, relapse leukemia, Hickman catheter and low absolute neutrophil count increased complication risk by 4.00, 1.97, and 1.92 times, respectively. Five (1.9%) deaths occurred because of catheter complications. Safe use of CVCs can be improved by early detection of complications and an experienced catheter care team.

AIM: To examine subfatin, preptin and betatrophin levels in plasma and aqueous in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) (with and without retinopathy). MATERIAL AND METHOD: Sixty patients, who were similar in terms of age and gender, and were scheduled for operation due to cataract, were included in the study. The patients were divided into three groups as Group C (20 weeks without diabetes and comorbidity), Group DM (20 patients with DM but no retinopathy) and Group DR (20 patients with diabetic retinopathy). The preoperative body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile levels of all patients in the groups were examined. Blood samples were also taken for plasma subfatin, preptin and betatrophin levels. At the beginning of the cataract surgery, 0.1 ml of aqueous fluid was taken from the anterior chamber. Plasma and aqueous subfatin, preptin and betatrophin levels were analyzed by ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays) method. RESULTS: In our study results, there was a significant difference in BMI, fasting plasma glucose and hemoglobin A1c levels (p < 0.05 for all parameters). Plasma and aqueous subfatin levels were higher in Group DR compared to Group C (p < 0.001, p = 0.036, respectively). Plasma and aqueous preptin levels were higher in group DR and group DM than in group C (p = 0.001, p = 0.002, p < 0.001, p = 0.001, respectively). Plasma and aqueous betatrophin levels were higher in Group DR compared to group C (p = 0.001, p = 0.010, respectively). CONCLUSION: Subfatin, preptin and betatrophin molecules may have an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy.

OBJECTIVE: The Papanicolaou (Pap) smear test is a standard screening test that detects cervical lesions and cancers. In this multicentric study, we performed a retrospective analysis of cytological results associated with atypical glandular cells, not otherwise specified (AGC-NOS). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed Pap smear tests that resulted as AGC-NOS. A total of 254 women who underwent colposcopy due to a Pap smear result of AGC-NOS were included the study between 2003 and 2021. The ages, Pap smear results, HPV results if any, colposcopic biopsy results, endocervical and endometrial pathology results, and management of these patients were analysed. RESULTS: Two hundred fifty-four patients with AGC-NOS Pap smear results were included in the study. A total of 70 (27.6%) patients had cervical and endometrial premalignant or malignant lesions. Malignancy was observed in 17 (6.7%) patients (endometrium, n = 11 [4.3%]; cervix, n = 6 [2.4%]). Isolated premalignant or malignant lesions of the cervix and endometrium were detected in 57 (22.4%) and 12 (4.7%) patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Patients diagnosed with AGC-NOS should undergo a careful evaluation with all clinicopathological features. Because cancer of the cervix and endometrium is not rare in patients diagnosed with AGC-NOS, colposcopic examination with endocervical sampling should be a priority based on a cervicovaginal smear. Endometrial sampling is also required according to the patient's clinic, age, and examination characteristics.

BACKROUND: Diabetic retinopathy is a disease seen with microvascular complications as a result of hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. Alarin and Adipsin are molecules with a role in energy and glucose metabolism. The aim of this study was to determine plasma and aqueous levels of Alarin and Adipsin in patients with and without diabetic retinopathy to evaluate their potential roles in diabetic retinopathy. METHODS: The study included one eye from each of 20 cataract patients without diabetes (C), 20 cataract patients with diabetes and without diabetic retinopathy (DM + C), and 20 cataract patients with diabetes and diabetic retinopathy (DR + C). Plasma and aqueous humour samples were taken from all patients during the cataract operation. Alarin and Adipsin levels were examined with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. RESULTS: Both plasma and aqueous Alarin levels were significantly higher in the patients with diabetic retinopathy than in the control group (p < 0.001, p = 0.006). Adipsin levels were found to be significantly higher in plasma in the control group than in the DR + C group and significantly higher in aqueous in the DR + C group than in the control group (p < 0.001, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that Alarin and Adipsin may play important role in diabetic retinopathy.

PURPOSE: Antenatal auto-amputation of the ovary is an extremely rare event, and its diagnosis is difficult. We aimed to retrospectively review the cases with antenatal auto-amputation, where the diagnosis was made based on detection of free-floating cyst during surgery. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with auto-amputated ovary during the surgery between 2012 and 2021 were included in the study. The data were reviewed retrospectively. Clinical, radiological, surgical, and histopathological findings were recorded. RESULTS: Eight patients underwent surgery for an abdominal cystic mass. The age range of patients who were operated was from 21 days to 9 months. None of the patients had symptoms, except one patient who had a large cyst and was vomiting. Prenatal ultrasound examination indicated an intra-abdominal cyst in all patients, but auto-amputated ovary diagnosis was not made. Differential postnatal diagnoses included an ovarian cyst, ovarian teratoma, tuba-ovarian torsion, mesenteric lymphatic malformation, and intestinal duplication cyst. Only one patient had an auto-amputated ovary suspicion in computed tomography. Laparoscopic exploration (n: 7) or laparotomy (n: 1) was performed. Histopathologic examination was necrosis and calcification (n: 6), necrosis (n: 1), and serous cystadenoma and necrosis (n: 1). CONCLUSION: We suggest that laparoscopy should be used for diagnosis and treatment of antenatal intra-abdominal cysts that persist postnatally because of diagnostic dilemmas. We recommend in patients diagnosed with auto-amputated ovary that the other ovary should be carefully monitored and followed up in terms of ovarian cyst, due to the possible risk of torsion.

In this retrospective study, patients with epithelial gynaecologic cancer with pulmonary recurrence (PR) were evaluated from five national gynaecologic oncology clinics. Patients with a diagnosis of primary endometrial, ovarian/fallopian tube/peritoneal, cervical or vaginal/vulvar tumours who developed an initial PR were included in the study A total of 122 patients were included in the study. The median follow-up time after recurrence was 7.5 (range, 1-84) months. The 2-year PRS was 48% in the main cohort. The risk of death was more than seven times higher in patients who did not receive salvage chemotherapy compared with those who did (hazard ratio: 7.6, 95% CI: 3.0-18.9; p < .001). When squamous cell carcinoma was compared with the other tumour types, the risk of death increased more than three times (hazard ratio: 3.7, 95% CI: 1.4-9.6; p = .007).IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known on this subject? Pulmonary recurrence (PR) from gynaecologic malignancies is rare and can cause major clinical problem. Therefore, defining the clinical and pathologic characteristics and recurrence patterns are essential.What the results of this study add? This study demonstrates non-squamous subtype and salvage chemotherapy at PR were associated with improved survival.What of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? To the best of our knowledge, our study is the largest study to investigate the clinico-pathologic characteristics, recurrence patterns, treatment options, and post-recurrence survival (PRS) in patients with PR from epithelial gynaecologic cancers. Future research should examine the underlying causes of these findings.

PURPOSE: The molecules human interleukin (IL-18), the soluble cluster of differentiation (sCD40), platelet factor 4 variant 1 (PF4V1), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) are all markers of inflammation in biological systems and are linked to prognosis in several inflammatory diseases as well. Since there is no study in which the above-mentioned molecules are studied together in ocular Behçet's disease (OBD), the aim of this study is to reveal whether these molecules are activity markers in active (OABD) and inactive (OIBD) disease. METHODS: 30 OABD and 30 OIBD and 30 healthy individuals were included in the study. IL-18, sCD40, PF4V1, and NGAL molecules were studied in blood samples by the ELISA method. RESULTS: When OABD and OIBD were compared to healthy individuals, the levels of IL-18, sCD40, PF4V1, and NGAL molecules were found to be statistically significant. These values were even more significantly higher in patients with OABD. CONCLUSION: When ROC values of IL-18, sCD40, PF4V1, and NGAL are evaluated, it is clear that these four molecules can be used as biomarkers to aid activity and diagnosis in OBD.

In this study, new 1,2,3-triazole derivatives containing chalcone core (1-7) were synthesized. Obtained compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass studies. Characterized compounds (1-7) inhibitory effects were tested against the glutathione S-transferase (GST), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Their Ki values were in the range of 5.88-11.13 µM on AChE, 5.08-15.12 µM on BChE, and 9.82-13.22 µM on GST. Remarkable inhibitory effects were obtained against three tested metabolic enzymes. Also, binding scores of the best-inhibitors against AChE, BChE, and GST enzymes were detected as -9.969 kcal/mol, -10.672 kcal/mol, and -8.832 kcal/mol, respectively. Isoindoline-1,3-dione and benzothiophene moieties played a critical role in the inhibition of AChE and BChE enzymes, respectively. Phenylene and triazole moieties had the most important interactions for inhibition of the GST enzyme. Therefore, in vivo and in silico results indicated that these compounds can be considered in drug design processes for the treatment of some diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD), leukemia, and some type of cancer.

BACKGROUND: One of the causes of congenital adrenal insufficiency, a genetically heterogeneous disorder is a mutation in the CYP11A1 gene, which is responsible for the initiation of steriodogenesis by converting cholesterol to pregnenolone. Case: In a now 3 years and 3 months-old girl, adrenal insufficiency was diagnosed in the neonatal period. Clinical exome sequencing for primary adrenal insufficiency revealed a homozygous p.Thr330Met (c.989C>T) variant in the CYP11A1 (NM_000781) gene. Conclusion: Different types of inheritance patterns have been observed in CYP11A1-related adrenal insufficiency cases. We consider our case is an due to an autosomal recessive inheritance.

PURPOSE: Diabetic retinopathy (DRP) is the formation of edema and small vessels in the retina due to high blood glucose levels. Asprosin is a hormone that stimulates the release of glucose from the liver into the circulation. Considering the relationship between oxidative stress and DRP, our study aimed to determine the levels of the oxidative stress markers 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), as well as asprosin, in the blood and aqueous humor (Aq) of patients with and without DRP. METHODS: Thirty patients with single-eye DRP and cataract (DRP + C), 30 patients with diabetes mellitus and cataract without DRP (DM + C), and 30 healthy control (CON) participants were enrolled into this retrospective study. Except for healthy controls, Aq and blood samples were taken from these patients during their cataract operation. Asprosin, 4-HNE, and 8-OHdG concentrations were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. RESULTS: In patients with DRP, the levels of asprosin, 4-HNE, and 8-OHdG were significantly higher in both Aq and blood samples compared with the group of patients without DRP. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the measurement of asprosin, 4-HNE, and 8-OHdG levels may support clinicians in determining the risk of DRP development.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the subjective and objective outcomes of the transobturator tape (TOT) procedure performed to treat stress urinary incontinence and to determine the efficacy and safety of the TOT procedure when used along with vaginal surgery. METHODS: This is a prospective review of 24 women who had the TOT procedure done only due to stress incontinence; 22 women who underwent concomitant TOT and pelvic floor repair; and 20 women who received concurrent TOT, transvaginal hysterectomy, and sacrospinous ligament fixation. RESULTS: When compared to the patients who had TOT with pelvic floor repair, the patients who underwent TOT with hysterectomy declared to have more dyspareunia (p = 0.008) and they were found to have significantly higher post-void residual volume (p = 0.014). When compared to the patients who had only TOT, the patients who underwent TOT with hysterectomy claimed to have more pelvic pain (p = 0.012) and significantly higher post-void residual volume (p = 0.020). CONCLUSION: The TOT procedure results in moderately high objective cure rates, and concurrent application of pelvic floor repair or transvaginal hysterectomy does not affect these rates. The relatively higher incidences for voiding problems and pelvic pain in women who underwent TOT, hysterectomy, and sacropinous fixation simultaneously suggest that the extent of surgery directly correlates with the severity of postoperative complications.

It is well-known that plasma L-carnitine concentrations are significantly decreased in obese individuals. A study showed that L-carnitine concentrations are significantly lower in lean PCOS patients than in lean healthy women. Thus, it has been suggested that lowered L-carnitine is associated with PCOS. This study also showed that the women with PCOS had significantly lower L-carnitine levels than those of the healthy controls. In addition, this study hypothesised that low L-carnitine levels in PCOS patients were associated with obesity and/or insulin resistance. Moreover, plasma L-carnitine concentrations were found to be statistically similar in PCOS patients and healthy controls, when controlled for obesity. This study implied that L-carnitine could be used as an adjunctive therapy in the management of insulin resistance or obesity in women who have PCOS. Further research might be planned to clarify the clinical effects of L-carnitine administration in PCOS patients with insulin resistance and/or obesity.

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a malignant tumor of smooth muscle cells and comprises 5-24% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Although the most frequent symptoms are vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain, the symptoms are generally associated with dimensions and localization of the tumor. The current study presents a case of uterine leiomyosarcoma that metastasized to the rectus abdominis muscle, which has only been previously reported in two cases in the literature. A 57-year-old multigravid patient presented with a palpable mass in her abdomen. The patient's past medical history revealed a hysterectomy performed in another center seven years ago with a postoperative histopathological report of leiomyosarcoma. A myomatous mass was detected, which was localized at the distal part of the right rectus muscle during operation. The mass was completely excised. The case was diagnosed as leiomyosarcoma according to the histopathological findings. Any mass in a skeletal muscle should be suspected to be metastasis in patients with a prior history of aggressive gynecologic malignancy such as LMS.

Compound 2 was synthesized by reacting CS2/KOH with compound 1. The treatment of compound 2 with hydrazine hydrate produced compound 3. Then, compound 3 was converted to Schiff bases (4a-d) by the handling with several aromatic aldehydes. The treatment of triazole compounds 4a-d containing Schiff base with morpholine gave compounds 5a-d. All compounds were tested for their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The antioxidant test results of DPPH⢠radical scavenging and ferric reducing/antioxidant power methods showed good antioxidant activity. The triazole-thiol (3) was the most active, and the effect of the substituent type of the thiophene ring on the activity was same for both Schiff bases (4a-d) and Mannich bases (5a-d). Among the newly synthesized triazole derivatives, the Schiff base 4d and the Mannich base 5d carrying nitro substituent on the thiophene ring showed promising antibacterial and antifungal activity, with lower MIC values than the standard antibacterial ampicillin.

The effects of alpha-iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) and gamma-iron oxide (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) on marine microalgae species (Nannochloropsis sp. and Isochrysis sp.) were investigated in this study. Both Fe2O3 NPs covered the surface of algae with the agglomerates of the nanoparticles. This form of physical NP toxicity significantly decreased the sizes of phytoplankton. Both NPs were toxic to the tested algal species, while α-Fe2O3 showed less toxicity than γ-Fe2O3 NPs for both algal species. A comparative analysis of growth data of the two algal species treated with α-Fe2O3 or γ-Fe2O3 NPs revealed that Isochrysis sp. are more sensitive than Nannochloropsis sp. Toxicity of these widely used NPs to primary producers forming the base of the food chain in aquatic environments might result in widespread adverse effects on aquatic environmental health.

In the title polymeric compound, [Cu(C8H5O3)2(C4H4N2)(H2O)2] n , the Cu(II) atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and has a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination sphere. In the equatorial plane, it is coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms of two symmetry-related monodentate formyl-benzoate anions and by two N atoms of the bridging pyrazine ligand, which is bis-ected by the twofold rotation axis. The axial positions are occupied by two O atoms of the coordinating water mol-ecules. In the formyl-benzoate anion, the carboxyl-ate group is twisted away from the attached benzene ring by 6.2â (2)°, while the benzene and pyrazine rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 68.91â (8)°. The pyrazine ligands bridge the Cu(II) cations, forming polymeric chains running along the b-axis direction. Strong intra-molecular O-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds link the water mol-ecules to the carboxyl-ate O atoms. In the crystal, O-Hwaterâ¯Owater hydrogen bonds link adjacent chains into layers parallel to the bc plane. The layers are linked via C-Hpyrazineâ¯Oform-yl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. There are also weak C-Hâ¯π inter-actions present.
RESUMEN
The polymeric title compound, [Cd(C8H5O3)2(C4H4N2)(H2O)] n , contains two 4-formyl-benzoate (FB) anions, one pyrazine mol-ecule and one coordinating water mol-ecule; the FB anions act as bidentate ligands. The O atom, the aldehyde H atom and the benzene ring of one of the FB anions are disordered over two positions. The O atoms were freely refined [refined occupancy ratio 0.79â (2):0.21â (2)], while the aldehyde H atoms and the benzene ring atoms were refined with fixed occupancy ratios of 0.8:0.2 and 0.5:0.5, respectively. In the ordered FB anion, the carboxyl-ate group is twisted away from the attached benzene ring (A) by 22.7â (8)°. In the disordered FB anion, the corresponding angles are 15.6â (10) and 11.4â (11)° for rings B and B', respectively. Benzene rings A and B are oriented at a dihedral angle of 24.2â (7), A and B' at 43.0â (8)°. The pyrazine ring makes dihedral angles of 67.5â (4), 89.6â (7) and 86.2â (7)°, respectively, with benzene rings A, B and B'. The pyrazine ligands bridge the Cd(II) cations, forming polymeric chains running along the b-axis direction. In the crystal, O-Hwater ⯠Ocarboxyl-ate hydrogen bonds link adjacent chains into layers parallel to the bc plane. These layers are linked via C-Hpyrazine ⯠Oform-yl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. π-π interactions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.870â (11)-3.951â (5)â Å] further stabilize the crystal structure. There is also a weak C-Hâ¯π inter-action present.
