    Carvacrol prevents methotrexateinduced renal oxidative injury and renal damage in rats
    (2014) Bozkurt M.; Em S.; Oktayoglu P.; Turkcu G.; Yuksel H.; Sariyildiz M.A.; Caglayan M.
    Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of carvacrol (CAR) on methotrexate (MTX)-induced renal damage in rats. Methods: Twenty-four male rats were equally divided into three groups: group I, control treatment; group II, MTX-treated; and group III, MTX+CAR-treated. A single dose of CAR (73 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally to group III on the First day of the experiment and a single dose of MTX (20 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally to groups II and III on the second day of the experiment. Blood samples and kidney tissue were obtained from each animal on day 8 for the measurement of malondialdehyde (MDA), total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), and oxidative stress index (OSI). Light microscopy was used for histopathological examination of kidney specimens. Results: MDA, TOS and OSI levels were significantly greater in the group receiving MTX alone relative to the control animals, while the TAS level was significantly reduced in the MTX group compared with the control group. The administration of CAR was associated with significantly decreased MDA, TOS, and OSI levels and increased TAS levels relative to the rats treated with MTX alone. Animals treated with CAR exhibited decreased tubular degeneration and architectural impairment relative to animals treated with MTX alone; however, the difference in histological scores did not meet the threshold of statistical significance. Conclusions: MTX treatment results in oxidative damage to the rat kidney; damage which is partially abrogated by the administration of CAR. © 2014 CIM.

    The protective effect of ellagic acid against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in male rats
    (Veteriner Fakultesi Dergisi, 2012) Bozkurt Y.; Firat U.; Atar M.; Sancaktutar, Ahmet Ali; Pembegul N.; Soylemez H.; Yuksel H.
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible protective effect of ellagic acid (EA) on rats following renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Twenty-four Wistar rats were divided into three groups. Sham group underwent laparotomy then waited for 45 min without ischemia. I/R group were subjected to left renal ischemia for 45 minutes followed by 60 min of reperfusion. I/R+EA group were subjected to the same renal ischemia/reperfusion as the I/R group, were also given 85 mg/kg EA perorally 30 min prior to the ischemia. Malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidant status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) were determined on the blood samples and kidney tissues. Histopathological analyses were conducted on the kidney tissues. I/R damage significantly increased serum MDA levels in the I/R group when compared with Sham group. Serum TAC level was significantly lower in I/R group than I/R+EA group. A significantly increase on OSI levels and decrease on TAC levels was found in the kidneys in I/R group. In I/R + EA group, EA reversed the negative effects of I/R injury. EA pretreatment was effective in decreasing tubular necrosis score. In conclusion; EA pretreatment ameliorated the oxidative damage and histopathological changes occurring following renal I/R injury.

    Urinary expression of acute kidney injury biomarkers in patients after RIRS: It is a prospective, controlled study
    (E-Century Publishing Corporation, 2015) Dede O.; Dağguli M.; Utanğaç M.; Yuksel H.; Bodakcı M.N.; Hatipoğlu N.K.; Sancaktutar, Ahmet Ali
    Objective: To evaluated the damage effects of retrograde intra-renal surgery (RIRS) on kidney tissue by measuring kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), N-acetyl-?-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), liver-type fatty acid binding protein (LFABP) expression. Material and methods: We enrolled thirty consecutive patients (Group 1) who underwent RIRS that presented with renal calculi size < 2 cm. Forty-seven control patients (Group 2) with no signs or symptoms of urogenital disease were also enrolled for this study. Patients urine KIM-1, NGAL, NAG, and LFABP and creatinine levels were determined before the surgery, 2 hours after the surgery, and 24 hours after the surgery. Results: Demographic data were established and found to be similar between the two groups. Two hours after the surgery KIM-1/Cr and NGAL/Cr levels had increased significantly in urine compared to levels before the surgery (P:0.04, P:0.02 respectively) and decreased 24 hours after the surgery. The NAG/Cr and LFABP/Cr levels did not change significantly after the surgery. Conclusion: According to acute kidney injury (AKI) markers, this study is suggests that RIRS is a safe method, KIM-1/Cr and NGAL/Cr levels were increased first 2 hours but returned to initial levels within 24 hours after the surgery. © 2015, E-Century Publishing Corporation.
