Paraoxonase-1 and arylesterase levels in patients with ulcerative

Background and study aims: The role of oxidative stress in inflammatory bowel disease is increasingly recognised as an important factor. It is assumed that reduced levels of paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) and arylesterase (ARE) may lead to increased inflammation due to increased oxidative stress. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between ARE and PON-1 levels in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and the difference in these levels in UC patients in comparison to the control group

Investigation into miRNA profile in patient groups with and without ST elevation

Because acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may occur suddenly and cannot be predicted, it is critical to identify early diagnosis markers. In recent years, in addition to the developing diagnostic methods, other markers that may be related to the diagnosis of AMI are miRNA molecules. The specificity of miRNAs involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and regulation of cardiac functions has been shown. The present study aimed to investigate the changes in miRNA expression levels in MI patients with ST-elevation (STEMI) and without ST elevation (NSTEMI)
