Article Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to demonstrate whether ozone has cardioprotective effects on the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in rats with streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetes.
Methods: A total of 38 male Wistar Albino rats were divided into five groups as follows: control group (group C,=6), diabetic group (group D,=6), diabetic ozone group (group DO,n=6), diabetic-ischemia/reperfusion (group DIR,=6), diabetic-ischemia/reperfusion-ozone (group DIRO,=6). Six rats died during this period and two died because of surgical complications. A myocardial ischemia-reperfusion model was created using a thoracotomy incision from 4th intercostal space. The LAD was ligated using an 8-0 prolene suture for 30min. Ozone was administered intraperitoneally(1mg/kg) 5min before reperfusion. The reperfusion time was 120 min. At the end of the reperfusion procedure, myocardial tissue histopathological examinations, and serum biochemical analyses were performed.
Results: The percentage of TUNEL(+) cardiomyocytes/HPF was significantly higher in the DIR group than in the C, D, and DO groups. Conversely, TUNEL positivity was significantly lower in the DIRO group than in the DIR group. The IRI score was significantly higher in the DIR and DIRO groups than that in the C, D, and DO groups. In contrast, the IRI damage score in the DIRO group was significantly lower than that in the DIR group. Serum MDA levels were significantly higher in the DIR group than in the C, D, and DO groups. Similarly, MDA levels were significantly higher in the DIRO group than in the C and D groups. CAT activity was significantly higher in the DIR group than in the C and D groups. SOD activity was significantly higher in the DIR group than in the C and DO groups.
Conclusion: Our study showed that ozone exerts cardioprotective effects in STZ-induced diabetic rats through its antioxidant role against oxidative stress. Both biochemical and histological analyses clearly revealed that ozone has beneficial effects against IRI in the diabetic rat myocardium.

The prevalence of anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibodies poses a significant challenge for the clinical translation of PEGylated liposomes, leading to an accelerated blood clearance (ABC) phenomenon and diminishing therapeutic effectiveness. To address this limitation, we designed an asymmetrical branched PEG derivative (mPEG-DSPE) and prepared mPEG-DSPE-modified liposomes, which included 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3,3'-tetramethylindo dicarbocyanine iodide liposomes (P-DiR) and mitomycin C lipid prodrug (MSC) liposomes (P-MSC) to minimize the binding of anti-PEG antibodies. Cellular binding assays revealed that the anti-PEG antibody binding rate for P-DiR was only 0.

Objectives: Internationally about 3% of people ≥65 years live in long-term care (LTC) settings. Older people living in nursing homes are more likely to be admitted to hospital. We examined the characteristics and outcomes of stroke patients admitted from LTC nationally and how this changed over the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objectives: To investigate the association among 5 clinical functional performance tests-single-leg stance, gait speed, tandem gait, Timed Up and Go (TUG), and forward step- as indicators of functional decline in older adults, and to examine whether these associations vary across different age groups.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting And Participants: Data were collected from 191 community-dwelling older adults, stratified into 4 age groups: 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, and 75-79 years.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age characterized by metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, and hormonal imbalance. Metformin, a well-known insulin sensitizer, and Resveratrol, an antioxidant polyphenol, have both shown promise in managing the metabolic and reproductive features of PCOS. This study evaluates the effects of Resveratrol alone and in combination with Metformin on clinical, metabolic, endocrine and reproductive parameters in women with PCOS over a 6-month period.
