    Introduction: Muscle-flap transferring is a routine approach utilized in reconstructive operations; however, flap morbidity is often a source of post-operative difficulty. Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury (IRI) is an important contributor to the viability of flaps after transferring. The goal of this research was for assess the probable useful impacts of ozone on flap survival in a rat muscle-flap design. Materials and Methods: We examined the effects of postconditioning ozone administration on viability of pedicled composite flaps. Twenty-eight Wistar rats were randomized into four groups: sham-operated (S), ischemia-reperfusion (IR), sham-operated + ozone (O), IR + ozone (IR + O), respectively. The animals were sacrificed on the eighth day. In a general histological evaluation, flap tissues were examined with a light microscope, and apoptotic cells were counted. The Apoptotic Index (AI) was then calculated. Flap-tissue samples were sent for analyses of malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and protein carbonyl (PCO), and blood samples were sent for analyses of Total Oxidant Score (TOS), and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC). Data were evaluated statistically using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The histomorphometric score was remarkably greater in O (p = .002). The AI was greater in IR (p = .002). The antioxidant parameters values as regards SOD, GSH-Px, CAT, and TAC were found to be greater in O (p < .005). The oxidant parameters values as regards MDA, PCO, TOS were found to be greater in IR (p < .005). Discussion: The current research indicates that ozone application can attenuate the muscle-flap injury brought about by IR through triggering the increase of the antioxidant capacity.

    Enhanced anticancer effect of cetuximab combined with stabilized silver ion solution in EGFR-positive lung cancer cells
    (2019) Ozkan, Aysun; Erdogan, Ayse; Ozkan, Odul; Manguoglu, Esra; Kiraz, Nadir
    Background: Cytotoxic, antiproliferative, cell cycle inhibitive, oxidative and apoptotic effects of cetuximab [antibody for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)] alone and together with stabilized silver ion solution (St-Ag) on P-H1299, R-H1299, A-431 and A-549 cells were investigated. Materials and methods: Cytotoxic effects of cetuximab alone and together with St-Ag on cells were determined by Cell Titer-Blue((R)) Cell Viability and Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity tests. Cell cycle distributions and apoptosis were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results: St-Ag enhanced cetuximab cytotoxic effect on all cells. LDH activity, as a result of cell death, was found the highest level at treatment of cetuximab with St-Ag in all cells. Both treatment increased caspase-3/7 activity which is apoptotic enzyme was found higher in A-549 cells than other cells. Also, treatment of cetuximab with St-Ag caused increasing Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in all cells. Cetuximab with St-Ag treatment increased glutathione peroxidase activity in all cells generating oxidative stress. Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA), topoisomerase II-alpha (except R-H1299), cyclin D1 and D2 genes expression were decreased in all cells which explain the cell cycle inhibition effect. Conclusion: These findings suggest that treatment of cetuximab combined with St-Ag exhibit more carcinogenesis reducing potential than cetuximab alone.
