    Objective: There is no study in the literature evaluating the dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis in patients with chronic venous insufficiency. Thus, we designed this study to evaluate the dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis as a novel indicator of oxidative stress in patients with chronic venous insufficiency.Methods: This was a prospective case-control study performed at the department of cardiovascular surgery of a tertiary referral hospital in Turkey. A total of 80 (CEAP C3-C6) patients with lower extremity chronic venous insufficiency (as the study group) and 80 healthy subjects (as the control group) were enrolled to the study. The participants' basic demographic and clinical characteristics as well as serum levels of some laboratory parameters including albumin, ferroxidase, myeloperoxidase, native thiol, total thiol, disulphide, native thiol/total thiol, disulphide/native thiol, and disulphide/total thiol were determined, and then compared between the groups. Results: In terms of basic demographic and clinical characteristics, both groups were statistically similar, and there were no significant differences between the groups. When the laboratory parameters were considered, serum ferroxidase and myeloperoxidase levels were detected to be significantly higher, whereas albumin, native thiol, total thiol, and disulphide levels were detected to be significantly lower in the study group than in the control group. Conclusions: Dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis could be considered as an indicator reflecting the oxidative stress status in patients with chronic venous insufficiency.

    Platelet distribution width in young patients with chronic venous insufficiency
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2022) Aldemir, Mustafa; Yüksel, Ahmet; İnanır, Mehmet; Metin, Salih; Velioğlu, Yusuf
    Objective Platelet distribution width (PDW) has been reported in a wide range of pathological settings. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between PDW and lower extremity chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) by comparing the levels of PDW and other parameters derived from complete blood count (CBC) tests in young individuals with or without lower extremity CVI. Methods This prospective clinical study was conducted between January 2020 and December 2020. A total of 108 patients, 72 patients with lower extremity CVI (study group) and 36 healthy volunteers (control group) were enrolled from the Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Education Research Hospital and the Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University Training and Research Hospital. The age range of the participants was between 18 and 50 years old. Participants' baseline clinical features and CBC parameters including PDW, white blood cell, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, red cell distribution width, neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet count, mean platelet volume, plateletcrit, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio were compared between the two groups. Results The groups were statistically similar in terms of baseline clinical features. The median PDW value was significantly higher for the CVI patients relative to the control group (17.6 vs 16.8; p < 0.001). In terms of other CBC parameters, there were no significant differences between the groups. According to ROC analysis, area under the curve of PDW was 0.749 (95% confidence interval: 0.653-0.846 and p < 0.001). If the value of PDW was accepted as 17, it could predict CVI with 76% sensitivity and 59% specificity, whereas a PDW value of 17.5 could predict CVI with 51% sensitivity and 81% specificity. Conclusion Platelet distribution width might be a useful marker to determine an increased inflammatory response and thrombotic status in young patients with CVI.

    Ultrastructural examination of left internal mammary artery under electron microscopy in patients with chronic kidney disease who underwent coronary bypass surgery
    (2020) Uçaroğlu, Erhan Renan; Korkmaz, Ufuk Turan Kürşat; Yüksel, Ahmet; Velioğlu, Yusuf; Aldemir, Mustafa; Erdem, Kemalettin
    Aim: To investigate the vascular damage of internal mammary artery graft with electron microscope secondary to chronic renal failure transmission in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Method: A total of 30 patients (10 patients with chronic renal failure and 20 patients without chronic renal failure) who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery were included in this prospective study. Left internal mammary artery graft was harvested as conventional fashion with no touch technique. Samples were prepared and then examined with the transmission electron microscope. Every arterial sample was individually examined ultrastructurally, and the changes were recorded. Then the samples of the control group and chronic renal failure group were compared. Results: There were no significant differences between chronic renal failure group and the control group in terms of demographics, comorbidities, intraoperative data and postoperative outcomes, and the groups were statistically similar (p<0.05). Moreover, no statistically significance was detected in terms of structure and ultrastructure between the groups. Conclusion: The results of our study revealed that no ultrastructural changes were observed in the structure of IMA, suggesting that this graft would provide a good graft patency.
