Question: To compare the safety and success of a retrograde approach using a microcatheter vs. a sheath in the treatment of superficial femoral artery (SFA) chronic total occlusions (CTOs).', 'From April 2007 to December 2012, 188 consecutive patients underwent EVT for 229 de novo SFA CTOs using the retrograde approach in 68 patients (35 men; mean age 72 years). This cohort was divided into cases performed with a 4-F or 6-F sheath (n=28, 36 limbs) and those with a 2.1-F microcatheter (n=35, 49 limbs). The primary outcomes were mean time to hemostasis and number of intra- and postoperative puncture site complications, as well as the success of popliteal artery puncture, lesion crossing, and reperfusion.', 'There were no significant differences between two groups in baseline characteristics. PA puncture was successful in all limbs, and the success in crossing the lesion with the wire was not significantly different (91.9% in the sheath group vs. 89.8% in the microcatheter group). Mean time to hemostasis was 8.9±8.8 minutes in the microcatheter group vs. 47.7±13 minutes in the sheath group (p<0.0001). There was a significant difference in intraoperative and postoperative complications (22.2% in the sheath group vs. 2.0% in the microcatheter group, p=0.002).

Answer: Is a sheathless retrograde approach via the popliteal artery useful and safe for treating chronic total occlusions in the superficial femoral artery?


Question: It has already been demonstrated that the rat esophagus produces retinoic acid from retinol. In this study, this process is further characterized and the effect of acetaldehyde examined to elucidate the possible mechanisms behind the epidemiological evidence that the incidence of esophageal cancer is higher in alcoholics.', 'Rat esophageal samples were incubated with all-trans retinal and newly formed all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) was quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Furthermore, beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent acetaldehyde oxidation by the rat esophagus was examined by tracing NAD reduction using a spectrophotometer.', 'Rat esophageal samples produced ATRA from all-trans retinal in a NAD-dependent manner and the potential was significantly attenuated by phenetyl isothiocynate, an ALDH inhibitor, or acetaldehyde depending on the concentration used. Rat esophageal samples also oxidized acetaldehyde of various concentrations NAD dependently. The ATRA formation potential that was temporarily inhibited by acetaldehyde was recovered to the control level by dialysis when the specimen was incubated with up to 50 microM of acetaldehyde.

Answer: Does acetaldehyde inhibit the formation of retinoic acid from retinal in the rat esophagus?


Question: The association between blood types and ovarian reserve is investigated in this study.', "As an index of ovarian reserve, women with a follicle stimulat- ing hormone (FSH) level of ≥10 mIU/ml in the early follicular phase were designated as having diminished ovarian reserve. In this prospective study, early follicular phase serum FSH and estradiol levels and blood types were evaluated in 500 patients who were admitted to the Infertility Department of Ministry of Health Etlik Zübeyde Hanım Women's Health Training and Research Hospital between January 2012 and June 2012. Women with serum FSH level <10 mIU/ml formed group I, and women with serum FSH ≥10 mIU/ml formed group II. The prevalence of blood types in each group and their associa- tion with ovarian reserve were analyzed.", 'Out of 500 patients, 438 women were in group I, while 62 women were in group II. There was no statistically significant difference among the two groups in terms of blood group proportions (p=0.69), this did not change after age adjustment (p=0.77). The presence of A antigen (in A and AB blood type) (p=0.91), the blood type O (p=0.70), and the blood type B (p=0.51) were not statistically related to ovarian reserve after age adjustment. There was also no statistically significant correlation between rhesus factor and ovarian reserve after age adjustment (p=0.83). The only factor that affected ovarian reserve was age of patients (p=0.006).

Answer:
Is only female age , and not blood type , associated with ovarian reserve?
