Is phenytoin a safe agent for staple line recovery after gastric sleeve surgery in rats?
The most challenging and mortal complication of gastric sleeve surgery (SG) is staple line leakage. Although many agents have been used for increasing tissue healing on the stapler line, there is still no consensus on its effectiveness and efficacy. The aim of study is to determine the effect of phenytoin on the healing process of gastric sleeve surgery in rats. ⋯ Molecular studies suggest that phenytoin may increase the healing process of Gastric sleeve following SG in rats and may become a new agent for the prevention of human gastric leaks.

Protective effects of passiflora incarnata on ovarian ischemia/reperfusion damage in rats with ovarian torsion.
This study aimed to investigate whether Passiflora Incarnata (PI) has a protective effect against ischemia-reperfu-sion (IR)-induced oxidative and inflammatory ovarian damage. ⋯ Passiflora Incarnata exhibited antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties, promoting cell survival, histologically protecting ovarian tissue, and ameliorating IR injury by reducing oxidative stress.

Histopathological and immunohistochemical investigation of the effect of Shilajit in rats with experimental spinal cord injury.
This experimental study was designed to investigate the histopathological and immunohistochemical effects of Shilajit in rats with experimentally induced spinal cord injury (SCI). ⋯ It is thought that the use of Shilajit in SCI will reduce the effects of secondary damage in SCI and that its administra-tion to such patients will have positive effects on the results.

Characteristics and mechanism of lower limb injury induced by landmine blast: A research in a rabbit model.
Limb injuries caused by landmine explosions are tricky to treat and difficult to protect. It is necessary to establish an animal model for studying lower limb injury and to investigate the characteristics and mechanisms of lower limb injury induced by landmine blasts. ⋯ The established experimental model presents typical effect of lower limbs wounded by the mine blast in war field. Landmine blast can cause typical damage on lower limbs including nerve lesion, knee injury, and microcirculation damage that is pro-gressive over time. The limb stump is divided into three zones based on gross pathology and micropathology, which can provide an important reference for clinical treatments and prognosis.

Case ReportsAccidental late PEG dislodgment in 3 cases with a narrow stoma: Bougie dilatation rescue.
Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) is a simple and effective method of enteral nutrition in many patients who cannot take oral food. The accidental dislodgement of the PEG tube after the maturation of the gastro-cutaneous fistula (stoma) is called late dislodgement. ⋯ In this case, the commonly followed method is to continue enteral nutrition by opening a new gastro-cutaneous fistula after the complete closing of the original stoma. Here, we present a stoma-saving bougie dilatation method in 3 cases with severely narrowed stomas after late accidental dislodgement of the PEG tube.
