Saiga (Saiga tatarica) conservation strategy in Kazakhstan
Braz J Biol. 2023 Oct 13;83:e275397. doi: 10.1590/1519-6984.275397. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTThe saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica) is a living symbol of the Eurasian steppes. Even in the recent past, its total number exceeded a million heads. As a commercial species, it was a source of inexpensive meat and skins for suede. The natural world range of saiga in Eurasia covers the steppe and desert ecosystems of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Mongolia, as well as Kalmykia and the Astrakhan region in the Russian Federation. It is divided into two subspecies: (Saiga tatarica tatarica) the nominal subspecies and (S.t.mongoli...

Morphological, histological and biomechanical comparison of bone marrow aspirate concentrate, micro-fragmented adipose tissue and platelet-rich plasma in prevention of tendon adhesion
CONCLUSION: BMAC therapy after primary flexor tendon repair improves adhesion formation and maintains ROM. It also enhances the biomechanical properties of the flexor tendon during the later stages of healing.PMID:37802016 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjps.2023.09.003 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Population stratification correction using Bayesian shrinkage priors for genetic association studies
DISCUSSION: The automatic and self-selection features of Bayestrat make it particularly suited in situations with complex underlying PS scenarios, where it is unknown a priori which PCs are potential confounders, yet the number that needs to be considered could be large in order to fully account for PS.PMID:37771252 | DOI:10.1111/ahg.12527 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Diagnostic yield and safety of percutaneous native kidney biopsy in pregnancy: 20-years of single-center experience
CONCLUSIONS: Although percutaneous kidney biopsy is not frequently performed during pregnancy, it is relatively safe and usually diagnostic, and may guide further follow-up.PMID:37665527 | DOI:10.1007/s40620-023-01753-2 (Source: Journal of Nephrology)

The dynamic nuclear envelope: resilience in health and dysfunction in disease
Curr Opin Cell Biol. 2023 Sep 1;85:102230. doi: 10.1016/j.ceb.2023.102230. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe canonical appearance of the nucleus depends on constant adaptation and remodeling of the nuclear envelope in response to changing biomechanical forces and metabolic demands. Dynamic events at the nuclear envelope play a vital role in supporting key nuclear functions as well as conferring plasticity to this organelle. Moreover, imbalance of these dynamic processes is emerging as a central feature of disease etiology. This review focuses on recent advances that shed light on the myriad events at the nuclear envelope t...

SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and beyond: The impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on Turkish youth and their attitude toward future prospects
Conclusions: Our findings pointed to adverse effects that would last longer than the pandemic. Priority should be given to strategies that reduce the long-term impact of the pandemic on young people and provide them with a sense of optimism that the future they desire is still achievable.

Vanillic acid abrogates cisplatin-induced ovotoxicity through activating Nrf2 pathway
Tissue Cell. 2023 Jul 13;84:102161. doi: 10.1016/j.tice.2023.102161. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough cisplatin (CDDP) is an effective anticancer agent, the ovotoxicity that can occur in female patients limits its use. Oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation are known to contribute to CDDP-induced ovotoxicity. Vanillic acid (VA) is a dietary herbal secondary metabolite with high free radical scavenging activity. It was aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of VA against CDDP-induced ovotoxicity in rats in this study for the first time. Ovotoxicity was achieved with a single dose of CDDP (5 mg/kg) in female rats. T...

Prevalence of CCR5 Delta 32 Genetic Variant in the Turkmen Population of Golestan Province, Northeast of Iran
Biomed Res Int. 2023 Jun 21;2023:8823863. doi: 10.1155/2023/8823863. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTThe 32 bp deletion in the chemokine receptor (C-C motif) 5 gene (CCR5Δ32) is a natural loss of function polymorphism that prevents the protein from locating on the cell surface. This genetic variation acts as a double-edge sword in the pathogenesis/defense mechanism of different health conditions, such as viral infections, autoimmune diseases, and cancers. Here, we evaluated the prevalence of the CCR5Δ32 polymorphism in the Turkmen population of Golestan province, northeast of Iran. Blood samples were collected from 400 randomly...
