Article Abstract
Background: This preliminary study assesses the effects of initial periodontal treatment on salivary levels of 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) as a marker of oxidative stress in patients with chronic periodontitis (CP).
Methods: At baseline, clinical parameters and saliva samples were obtained from 20 patients with CP and 10 patients with clinically healthy periodontium. Saliva samples were collected, and clinical periodontal measurements were repeated at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after initial periodontal therapy in patients with CP. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to investigate 8-OHdG levels of saliva samples.
Results: Statistically significant higher 8-OHdG levels of saliva and a significant decrease after initial periodontal therapy were determined in the CP group (p < 0.001). A significant positive correlation was found between 8-OHdG levels of saliva and clinical periodontal measurements (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Within the limits of this short-term preliminary study it can be concluded that the estimation of 8-OHdG levels in saliva may be used to evaluate the oxidative stress in periodontitis patients. It also appears that oxidative stress, which is reflected by salivary 8-OHdG levels, might reflect the present status of periodontal health.

Epoxiconazole (EPX) is widely applied to control various fungal diseases in crops. However, the toxicological effects of EPX on reptiles remain unknown, especially at the enantiomer level. In this study, lizards were repeatedly exposed to rac-EPX, (+)-EPX, and (-)-EPX at doses of 10 and 100 mg/kg bw for 21 days.

The objective of this study was to examine the chemotherapeutic effect of CAPE, via the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP, Δψm) pathway in TPC-1 human papillary thyroid cancer cells. The cytotoxic effect of CAPE was evaluated using MTT and crystal violet assays, while its apoptotic activity was measured using Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase-3,-8,-9 and Apaf-1 assays. Effects on mitochondria were performed by analyzing JC-1 fluorescent probe-MMP, ROMO1 and mitochondrial ATP-synthase.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic and progressive condition that develops due to a genetic predisposition, with the dysfunction of antioxidants and anti-protease systems triggered by factors such as smoking. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of smoking on serum 8-hydroxy-2' deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) as a marker of oxidative DNA damage, malondialdehyde (MDA) to indicate lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyl (PCO) as a marker of protein damage, and paraoxonase (PON)1 levels as a measure of antioxidant activity involved in maintaining cellular redox balance in COPD patients.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 141 patients with COPD (70 smokers, 71 non-smokers) and 140 healthy controls (70 smokers, 70 non-smokers) recruited from the Acibadem Mehmet Ali Aydinlar University outpatient clinic.
