Are the Mean Platelet Volume and Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio Predictive for Gestational Cholestasis? by Hasan Eroglu, Harun Egemen Tolunay, Kemal Sarsmaz, Gokcen Orgul, Dilek Sahin, Aykan Yucel

“… OBJECTIVES: We aimed to determine whether mean platelet volume value and/or neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio values are useful as a predictive marker for gestational cholestasis. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of the data of patients diagnosed with pregnancy cholestasis between 2018-2019 in a perinatology clinic. 352 pregnant women were enrolled in the study (122 pregnant women with Intrahepatic cholestasis as study group and 230 pregnant women with no morbidity as the control group) RESULTS: Mean platelet volume was significantly higher in pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis compared to the healthy controls, 9.30 (7-18) and 8.6 (6.7-11.5), respectively. …”

Identification of Stem Leydig Cells Derived from Pig Testicular Interstitium by Shuai Yu, Pengfei Zhang, Wuzi Dong, Wenxian Zeng, Chuanying Pan

“…Haematoxylin and eosin staining and immunochemical analysis showed that SLCs were present and that PDGFRα was mainly expressed in the pig testicular interstitium, indicating that PDGFRα was a marker for SLCs in the neonatal pig. In addition, reverse transcription-PCR results showed that SLC markers were expressed in primary isolated LCs, indicating that they were putative SLCs. …”
