    Can Serum Biomarker Values from Second-Trimester Aneuploidy Screening Predict the development of Retinopathy of Prematurity in Premature Infants?

    Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate serum biomarker values measured during second-trimester aneuploidy screening in terms of their predictive ability for the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in premature infants. Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the data of 1985 idiopathic premature infants who underwent ROP screening from 2016 to 2022. The infants were divided into two groups according to the presence of ROP, and those with ROP were further evaluated in two subgroups based on the presence of proliferation. Comparisons were made concerning the serum multiple of the median values of unconjugated estriol (uE3), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) among aneuploidy screening biomarkers. Results: While 1628 premature infants were in the non-ROP group, 357 were in the ROP group. Of the infants with ROP, 72 were in the proliferative ROP group and 285 in the non-proliferative ROP group. There was no significant difference in the multiple of the median values of the evaluated serum biomarkers (uE3, hCG, and AFP) between the ROP and non-ROP groups or between the proliferative ROP, non-proliferative ROP, and non-ROP groups. Conclusion: The multiple of the median values of second-trimester aneuploidy screening serum biomarkers were not able to predict the development of ROP in premature infants. This result may have been caused by the fact that the blood tests were taken only once and in the same weeks.

    The Oxidative and Anti-Angiogenic Effects of Acrylamide in Chorioallantoic Membrane Model
    (Akdeniz Üniversitesi, 2023) Sozen, Mehmet Enes; Karahan, Oguz; Akkaya, Özgür; Savas, Hasan Basri
    Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor-enhancing food additive. MSG exposure is rising day by day because of the high commercial food consumption. MSG exposure causes damage to various tissues and organs. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of MSG on angiogenesis and oxidant-antioxidant balance. Three different concentrations of MSG (10-4 M, 10-5 M, and 10-6 M), control, and the bevacizumab (10-6 M) were prepared and placed on the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of the embryos. Albumen was taken from the embryos before and after the experiment. Angiogenesis was investigated through the window that was opened on the eggshell. Angiogenesis was found to be normal in the control and 10-6 M MSG group (average score: 0.3). Anti-angiogenic effects were moderate in the 10-5 M MSG group (average score: 0.5) and in the 10-4 M MSG group (average score: 0.7), and strong in the bevacizumab group (average score: 1.1). According to our results, MSG shows anti-angiogenic properties in higher doses. MSG increased oxidative stress. According to the results of our research, it is seen that MSG inhibits angiogenesis in a dose-dependent manner in the CAM model and may cause an increase in oxidative damage by disrupting the oxidant-antioxidant balance. Since no previous study has been found in the literature regarding the effects of MSG on angiogenesis and oxidant-antioxidant balance in the CAM model, we think our results will fill an important gap in the literature.
