    Beta-Hydroxy-Beta-Methyl-Butyrate, L-glutamine, and L-arginine Supplementation Improves Radiation-Induce Acute Intestinal Toxicity
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Yavas, Cagdas; Yavas, Guler; Celik, Esin; Buyukyoruk, Ahmet; Buyukyoruk, Cennet; Yuce, Deniz; Ata, Ozlem
    We aimed to evaluate effects of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate, L-glutamine, and L-arginine (HMB/GLN/ARG) on radiation-induced acute intestinal toxicity. Forty rats were divided into four groups: group (G) 1 was defined as control group, and G2 was radiation therapy (RT) control group. G3 and G4 were HMB/GLN/ARG control and RT plus HMB/GLN/ARG groups, respectively. HMB/GLN/ARG started from day of RT and continued until the animals were sacrificed 10 days after RT. The extent of surface epithelium smoothing, villous atrophy, lamina propria inflammation, cryptitis, crypt distortion, regenerative atypia, vascular dilatation and congestion, and fibrosis were quantified on histological sections of intestinal mucosa. Statistical analyses were performed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. There were significant differences between study groups regarding extent of surface epithelium smoothing, villous atrophy, lamina propria inflammation, cryptitis and crypt distortion, regenerative atypia, vascular dilatation and congestion, and fibrosis (p values were 0.019 for fibrosis, <.001 for the others). Pair-wise comparisons revealed significant differences regarding surface epithelium smoothing, villous atrophy, lamina propria inflammation, cryptitis, vascular dilatation, and congestion between G2 and G4 (p values were <.001, .033, <.001, .007, and <.001, respectively). Fibrosis score was significantly different only between G1 and G2 (p = .015). Immunohistochemical TGF-beta score of G2 was significantly higher than G1 and G3 (p values were .006 and .017, respectively). There was no difference between TGF-beta staining scores of G2 and G4. Concomitant use of HMB/GLN/ARG appears to ameliorate radiation-induced acute intestinal toxicity; however, this finding should be clarified with further studies.

    The effect of Halofuginone in the amelioration of radiation induced-lung fibrosis
    (Churchill Livingstone, 2013) Yavas, Guler; Calik, Mustafa; Calik, Goknil; Yavas, Cagdas; Ata, Ozlem; Esme, Hidir
    The lung is one of the most sensitive organs to ionizing radiation, and damage to normal lung tissue remains a major dose limiting factor for patients receiving radiation to the thorax. Radiation induced lung injury (RILI) which is also named as radiation pneumonpathy is a continuous process and regarded as the result of an abnormal healing response. It has been shown that transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-beta 1) plays an integral role in the radiation induced lung fibrosis formation by promoting the chemoattraction of fibroblasts and their conversion to myofibroblasts. Halofuginone is a, low molecular weight plant derived alkaloid, isolated from the Dichroa febnfuga plant that exhibits antifibrotic activity and inhibition of type I collagen synthesis. Halofuginone has been shown to protect against radiation induced soft tissue fibrosis by virtue of inhibiting various members of TFG-beta signaling pathway. By the light of these findings, we hypothesize that Halofuginone may be able to ameliorate the radiation induced lung fibrosis. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
