To evaluate the changes in the number of NADPH diaphorase (NADPH-d) stained neurons in the vagal nuclei in a chronic esophagitis model. ⋯ The increased nitric oxide expressions in the dorsal vagal nucleus and nucleus tractus solitarius are most probably due to adaptive changes to disturbed esophageal motility and mucosal damage.
-
To evaluate the effects of montelukast and Hypericum perforatum against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced intestinal damage. ⋯ This study demonstrated the preventive effects of montelukast and Hypericum perforatum on I/R-induced intestinal injury.
-
To investigate the effects of a magnetic field (MF) on febrile seizure latency, seizure duration, and electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings in a rat febrile convulsion model. ⋯ Our results suggest that MF exposure has a negative effect on brain waves, and this effect becomes more evident with prolonged exposure. On the other hand, MF exposure significantly decreased the convulsion durations.
-
To investigate the effect of ozone and/or taurine treatment comparatively on testicular damage due to ischemia/ reperfusion (I/R) injury in an experimental torsion model in rats. ⋯ Using ozone therapy and/or taurine before reperfusion may be a solution for germ cell degeneration resulting from testicular torsion and related infertility.

This study investigated the effect of Ginkgo biloba (GB) on brain volume in cerebral ischemia induced by stopping carotid artery blood flow. ⋯ This result may be interpreted as surgical stress, established by cutaneous incision, having an adverse effect on brain volume. Additionally, the absence of any difference in terms of brain volume following 30 min of ischemia between the ischemia and control groups suggests that a probable postischemic rise in brain volume disappears within 14 days.
