Item The effect of pregabalin on tourniquet-induced ischemia-reperfusion injury: a prospective randomized study(2019) Karaca, Omer; Pinar, Huseyin Ulas; Ozgur, Ahmet Fevzi; Kulaksizoglu, Sevsen; Dogan, Rafi; 0000-0003-0473-6763; 31655508; Q-2420-2015Background/aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of pregabalin on ischemia-reperfusion injuries. Materials and methods: Fifty-four patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups. A 150-mg tablet of pregabalin was given the night before and then 1 h before the operation for patients in Group P (pregabalin group, n = 27). A placebo was given to patients in Group C (control group, n = 27) at the same times. After combined spinal-epidural anesthesia was performed, venous blood samples were taken before tourniquet inflation (t(1)), just before tourniquet deflation (t(2)), and 20 min after tourniquet deflation (t(3)) for the analysis of total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), catalase (CAT), and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA). Results: There was no significant difference in TAS levels between the groups for the t(3) period. However, the TAS in Group P was significantly higher in the t(3) period than the t(2) period (mean +/- SD, 0.46 +/- 0.1 vs. 0.38 +/- 0.2 mmol of Trolox equivalent/L, respectively; P < 0.05). The CAT level in the C period was significantly higher in Group P than Group C (mean +/- SD, 53.04 +/- 32.1 vs. 35.46 +/- 17.2 mu mol/formaldehyde, respectively; P < 0.05). In the t(3) period, the TOS was significantly lower in Group P than Group C (mean +/- SD, 11.97 +/- 5 vs. 18.29 +/- 9.9 pg/mL, respectively; P < 0.05). The TOS in Group P was significantly lower in the t(3) period than the t(2) period (mean +/- SD, 11.97 +/- 5 vs. 18.98 +/- 10.7 pg/mL, respectively; P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Pregabalin has no marked antioxidant activity, but it contributes to the antioxidant defense system of an organism.Item Are oxidative stress markers helpful for diagnosing the disease and determining its complexity or extent in patients with stable coronary artery disease?(2017) Yılmaz, M.; Altın, C.; Özyıldız, A.; Müderrisoğlu, H.; 0000-0002-2557-9579; 0000-0002-9635-6313; 28990940; S-6973-2016; AAG-8233-2020OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between oxidative/antioxidative stress markers and the diagnosis and complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with stable CAD. METHODS: A total of 145 patients were enrolled in the study. Based on coronary angiography results, the patients were categorized into 2 groups: those without CAD (Group 1) and those with CAD (Group 2). The patients in Group 2 were also categorized into low score and moderate/high score groups according to their SYNTAX score. The serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAOC) levels of Group 1 and Group 2 were compared. Finally, MDA and TAOC levels were compared between the moderate/high-risk and low-risk groups formed according to SYNTAX score. RESULTS: There was a significant difference with respect to both serum TAOC and MDA levels between Group 1 and Group 2 (p=0.036 and p=0.029, respectively). The groups with a SYNTAX score 1-22 and with a SYNTAX score >22 were not significantly different with respect to serum TAOC or MDA level (p=0.582 and p=0.85, respectively). CONCLUSION: The serum MDA level was significantly higher and the TAOC level was significantly lower in patients with stable CAD compared to those without; however, these molecule levels failed to predict disease complexity in patients with stable CAD.
