    (Sociedade Brasileira para o Desenvolvimento de Pesquisa em Cirurgia, 2023) Toprak, Veysel; Akalın, Senem Alkan; Öcal, Ece; Çavuş, Yunus; Deveci, Engin
    Purpose: It was aimed to investigate the biochemical and immunohistochemical effects of ephedrine (EPH) in bilateral ovariectomized rats. Methods: Twenty-four Sprague Dawley female rats were divided into three groups: control group: The abdomen was opened and closed without any treatment; ischemia-reperfusion (IR) group: 2 h of ischemia followed by 2 h of reperfusion were allowed to cause IR injury; IR+EPH group: oral EPH solution (5 mg/kg) was administered for 28 days. Results: Biochemical parameters were statistically significant in group comparisons. Increased interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression, degenerative preantral and antral follicle cells and inflammatory cells around blood vessels were seen in IR group. Negative IL-6 expression was observed in seminal epithelial cells, preantral and antral follicle cells in IR+EPH group. While caspase-3 activity increased in granulosa cells and stromal cells in IR group, caspase-3 expression was negative in preantral and antral follicle cells in the germinal epithelium and cortex in IR+EPH group. Conclusion: The effect of apoptosis, which occurs with the signaling that starts in the cell nucleus, caused the cessation of the stimulating effect at the nuclear level after EPH administration, and a decrease in the antioxidative effect in IR damage and inflammation in the apoptotic process.

    Investigation of Beclin 1 and TNF-? expressions in preeclampsia placentas: Immunohistochemical study
    (Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2023) Öcal, Ece; Toprak, Veysel; Akalın, Senem Alkan; Aşır, Fırat; Deveci, Engin
    Background: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication Aim of this study was to investigate expression of Beclin1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in normotensive and preeclamptic placentas of pregnant women patients. Methods: Twenty normotensive and 20 preeclamptic patients placentas were dissected for paraffin- wax processing. Placental samples were embedded in parafin blocks. Sections were stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin staining and TNF-α and Beclin1 immunostaining. Results: In control group, root and floating villi were normal in histological perspectives, syncytial node number was low, vessels were normal with connective tissue. No hemorrhage was observed in the intervillous area. In preeclampsia group, decidual cell degeneration and fibrinoid accumulation increased. Vascular dilatation and congestion with mononuclear cell infiltration were observed. Beclin1 reaction was generally negative in control group. In preeclampsia group, Beclin1 reaction was increased in decidual cells, syncytial nodes and bridges and in chorionic villi and in some Hoffbauer cells. In control group, TNF-α expression was mainly negative but only in some decidual cells. In preeclampsia, TNF-α reaction was observed in degenerated decidua cells, in leukocytes and in villi. Conclusion: In preeclampsia placentas, degenerated decidua cells and inflammation increased. It was thought that Beclin1 and TNF-α signals could be used as a marker in affecting the fetal structure of blood flow in preeclamptic placentas.

    (2023) Öcal, Ece; Akalin, Senem; Deveci, Engin
    Aim: In this study, we investigated the immunohistochemical staining of Sox-9 and Caspase-6 expression in placentas of pregnant woman with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Material and Methods: Placentas of 20 healthy and 20 women with GDM were processed for routine histological tissue processing. The biochemical and clinical parameters of patients were recorded. Placentas were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and Sox-9 and Caspase-6 immunostaining. Results: In control group, Sox-9 expression was negative in decidual and connective cells and endothelial cells. In GDM group, Sox-9 expression was increased especially in the decidual cells. For the Caspase-6 expression, Caspase-6 reaction was mainly in maternal region in control group. In GDM group, Caspase-6 reaction was increased in decidual cells, in endothelial cells and in the syncytial nodes. Conclusion: Expression of Sox-9 transformed the decidua cells and lead to apoptotic pathway via Caspase-6 expression.

    Investigation of the Sox-9 and Cited-1 Immune Activity in Placentas of Women with Placenta Accreta
    (2023) Akalın, Senem; Öcal, Ece; Deveci, Engin
    Aim: In this study, we investigated the immune activity of the Sox-9 and Cited-1 in women with placenta accreta. Material and Methods: 20 healthy and 20 placenta accreta were processed for routine histological tissue processing. Placentals samples were dissected and fixed in 10% formaldehyde solution. Samples were embedded in paraffin blocks. Clinical and biochemical parameters were recorded. Placental sections were cut from paraffin blocks and stained with Sox-9 and Cited-1 immunostaining. Results: In our study, control group showed negative Cited-1 expression in decidual cells, root villi and connective tissue areas in general. Placenta accreta group showed increased Cited-1 expression in degenerated decidual cells, fibroblastic cells and endothelium. In control group, Sox-9 expression was negative in the syncytial knots, in the vascular endothelial cells. In placenta accreta group, Sox-9 reaction was positive in the root villi, in the blood vessels, in the connective tissue. Conclusion: It was observed that the Sox-9 reaction was increased and inflammation was induced, depending on the differences in decidual cells, in the syncytial area and in the vascular endothelium in in placentas of women with placenta accreta. It is thought that Sox-9 signaling processes are being determined and Cited-1 may be stimulants that affect cell proliferation and angiogenesis regulation and affect placental development.

    Role of SOX9 and Hif-1? expression in placentas of patients with HELLP
    (Sociedade Brasileira para o Desenvolvimento de Pesquisa em Cirurgia, 2023) Akalın, Senem Alkan; Öcal, Ece; Deveci, Engin
    Purpose: In this study, we investigated the immunohistochemical staining of SRY-box transcription factor 9 (SOX9) and Hif-1α expression in placentas of pregnant woman with hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome. Methods: Placentas of 20 normotensive and 20 women with HELLP syndrome were processed for routine histological tissue processing. The biochemical and clinical parameters of patients were recorded. Placentas were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and SOX9 and Hif-1α immunostaining. Results: Normotensive placentas showed normal histology of placenta, however placentas of HELLP syndrome showed intense thrombosis, thinning of the villi membrane and vascular dilatation. In placentas of normotensive patients, SOX9 reaction was immunohistochemically negative, however placentas of HELLP group showed SOX9 expression in decidual cells, and syncytial regions of floating villi and inflammatory cells. In placentas of normotensive patients, Hif-1α reaction was mainly negative in vessels and connective tissue cells. Placentas of HELLP group showed increased Hif-1α expression in decidual cell and especially inflammatory cells in the maternal region. Conclusion: Hif-1α and SOX9 proteins can be used as a marker to show severity of preeclampsia and regulation of cell proliferation and angiogenesis during placental development.
