Azerbaijan Medical Journal

The Azerbaijan Medical Journal (AMJ) is a peer-reviewed, open-access monthly publication dedicated to advancing medical science and clinical practice through the dissemination of high-quality, original research. The Journal aims to serve as a global platform for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals to share innovative findings, critical reviews, and evidence-based insights that contribute to the understanding, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases.

AMJ welcomes submissions across a broad spectrum of medical disciplines, including but not limited to:

  • • Internal Medicine and its subspecialties
  • • Surgery and surgical innovations
  • • Pediatrics and neonatology
  • • Obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive health
  • • Public health, epidemiology, and global health
  • • Medical education and health policy
  • • Pharmacology and therapeutics
  • • Diagnostic imaging and laboratory medicine
  • • Emerging infectious diseases and pandemic preparedness
  • • Translational and interdisciplinary medical research
  • • Dental health

The Journal particularly encourages contributions from early-career researchers, multidisciplinary teams, and authors from underrepresented regions. All manuscripts undergo rigorous double-blind peer review to ensure scientific integrity, methodological soundness, and relevance to contemporary medical challenges.We invite authors worldwide to submit original articles, review papers, case reports, brief communications, and study protocols that align with the Journal’s mission of promoting excellence, equity, and accessibility in medical scholarship.

Microplastics and Phthalate Co-Exposure Synergistically Disrupt Thyroid Hormone Homeostasis Through Enhanced Gut Barrier Permeability and Systemic Inflammation

Author(s): Dr. Thomas Anderson, Dr. Mei Wong

Abstract: Environmental exposure to microplastics (MPs) and phthalates is ubiquitous, yet their combined endocrine effects are unexplored. We demonstrate that polystyrene microplastics (5 μm) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) synergistically impair thyroid hormone synthesis and metabolism in murine models. Co-exposure disrupted intestinal tight junction proteins (occludin, claudin-1), increasing gut permeability and systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) translocation. TLR4-NFκB-mediated inflammation suppr...

AI-Augmented Digital Pathology Predicts Mismatch Repair Deficiency in Colorectal Cancer with Superior Sensitivity to Immunohistochemistry

Author(s): Dr. Sarah Okafor, Dr. Li Wei, Dr. Ahmed Hassan

Abstract: Lynch syndrome screening relies on immunohistochemistry (IHC) for mismatch repair (MMR) proteins, which suffers from pre-analytic variability. We developed a deep learning algorithm (PathMMR-AI) trained on 5,000 whole-slide images (WSIs) of colorectal cancer (CRC) to predict MMR deficiency (dMMR) directly from hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) stained slides. The model achieved 96.8% sensitivity and 94.2% specificity, outperforming conventional IHC (sensitivity 89.3%) in a prospective validation c...

A Comparative study to evaluate marginal adaptation of Bioceramic, MTA in vital pulpotomy on primary teeth (an in vitro study)

Author(s): Rama Awad, Abdul Wahab Nourallah

Abstract: Aim: The main goal of this study was to compare the microleakage of MTA and Bioceramic, using Scanning Electron Microscopy in pulpotomized primary molars. Materials and Methods: Study design: 10 extracted primary molars (caries-free or not) were used and randomally distributed among two groups of study (n=5). Pulpotomy was conducted using either MTA or Bioceramic, the teeth were then restored with composite resin. The crowns were resected longitudinally (bucco-lingual direction) into two...

Base Editing of the PCSK9 Gene in Human Hepatocytes via Lipid Nanoparticle-Delivered Adenine Base Editors: A Non-Viral Approach for Familial Hypercholesterolemia

Author(s): Dr. Alexander Petrov, Dr. Amina Diallo

Abstract: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is characterized by loss-of-function mutations in the LDL receptor pathway. Current therapies require lifelong administration. We report a non-viral gene editing strategy employing adenine base editors (ABE8e) packaged in liver-targeted lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to precisely disrupt the PCSK9 translational start site in human hepatocytes. In humanized PCSK9 mouse models and primary human hepatocyte spheroids, a single intravenous administration achieve...

Patient-Derived Cortical Organoids from Ischemic Stroke Surrogates Reveal Neuronal Excitotoxicity Mechanisms Mediated by GRIN2B Glutamate Receptor Variants

Author(s): Dr. Isabella Romano

Abstract: The molecular determinants of selective neuronal vulnerability in acute ischemic stroke remain poorly characterized. We established patient-derived cortical organoids from fibroblasts of stroke survivors with extreme phenotypes (large infarct volume versus small lesion size) and subjected them to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). Organoids derived from high-vulnerability patients exhibited exaggerated calcium influx and delayed neuronal death following OGD. Whole-exome sequencing identif...
