Melanoma is one of the most aggressive human malignancies. The determination of prognostic biomarkers is important for the early detection of recurrence and for the enrollment of the patients into different treatment regimens. Herein, we report the 10-year survival of 375 melanoma patients depending on their serum selenium levels. The study group was followed up from the date of melanoma diagnosis until death or 2020. Patients were assigned to one of four categories, in accordance with the increasing selenium level (I–IV quartiles). The subgroup with low selenium levels had a significant lower survival rate in relation to patients with high selenium levels, HR = 8.42; p = 0.005 and HR = 5.83; p = 0.02, for uni- and multivariable models, respectively. In the univariable analysis, we also confirmed the association between Breslow thickness, Clark classification and age at melanoma prognosis. In conclusion, a low serum selenium level was associated with an increased mortality rate in the 10 years following melanoma diagnosis. Future studies in other geographic regions with low soil selenium levels should be conducted to confirm our findings.

“…Geographical differences can cause discrepancies. The average Se level in North America is 122.4–151.8 μg/L, while the level in the serum / plasma of Poles is about 70 μg/L; in some regions, it is even 50–55 μg/L [2,32,33,34]. In our control (normotensive group), the mean Se level in the serum in the 10–14th pregnancy week was 62.89 μg/L (range 41.14–125.54 µg/L).…”

Selenium (Se) is an antioxidant nutrient whose deficiency can influence adverse outcomes of pregnancy. The aim of this study is to determine whether serum Se level in early healthy pregnancy may be a risk marker for pregnancy induced hypertension. We obtained data from our prospective study in which we recruited healthy women in weeks 10–14 of a single pregnancy. In this analysis, we examined 121 women who subsequently developed pregnancy-induced hypertension and matched 363 women who remained normotensive. We measured Se levels (using the ICP-MS technique) in the serum in weeks 10–14 of the pregnancy. The odds ratios of pregnancy-induced hypertension (95% confidence intervals) were calculated using multivariate logistic regression. We found that the mean Se level was lower in the case group compared to the control (57.51 vs. 62.89 μg/L; p = 2.6 × 10−10). Excessive body mass index (BMI) and smoking influenced the estimated odds ratios. In the subgroup of women who had never smoked with normal pre-pregnancy BMI, the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of pregnancy-induced hypertension was 15.34 (95% CI: 2.73–86.31, p = 0.002) for Se levels in the lowest quartile (≤57.68 µg/L), as compared to the highest quartile (>66.60 µg/L), after adjusting for all the accepted confounders. In the whole cohort, the prognostic value of Se by logistic regression showed that the area under curve (AUC) = 0.814. In our study, one can consider the role of Se as a risk marker of pregnancy-induced hypertension.

“…Selenium is one of the fundamental trace elements involved in the 25 different selenoproteins with its various biological roles especially like antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent [5]. Even if there are preliminary reports in the countries with high dietary selenium and rare selenium deficiency, it is possible that the effect of externally administered selenium on both cancer risk and cancer disease has been underestimated up until now [6]. Besides, due to its antioxidative effects, selenium contributes to plant growth and development, and yield quality [7].…”

In this study, mineral nutrition status of some aromatic plants such as Foeniculum vulgare, Cichorium intybus, Brassica oleracea var. capitata, Liquidambar orientalis that are naturally spread in Muğla province and its locality and consumed by the local people, and the soil characteristics of the species were investigated. According to the results, it was determined that the species of plants spread between pH-mild acid and neutral in a loamy, salt-free and low-lime environment. In addition to this, while it was determined that plants were at high levels in terms of N, Ca and Fe contents, Zn value was found to be at a low level. In the second phase of the study, it was aimed to obtain detailed information for above mentioned local plants by using qualitative research method. It was found that there were differences in the nutrition habits of the societies due to different cultures. Local differences mostly stemmed from the yields grown in that region. One another aim is to investigate the food preparations in Muğla cuisine preferred by the local people regarding "arapsaçı, hindiba, cibez and günlük" (TR), which are among the medicinal aromatic plants found in Muğla, and the consumption preferences of these plants. The main purpose of this research was to determine the aromatic plant consumption habits of the people living in Muğla province and evaluate these consumptions in terms of health. As a result of the interviews, the recipes of these dishes, information on their preferability and their effects on health were obtained.
