Background/Purpose: The roles of mitochondrial DNA alterations in acute appendicitis (AA) remain unclear. We evaluated the alterations of mtDNA copy number and mtDNA integrity [proportion of mtDNA templates without 8-hydroxyl-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG)] of the resected cecum appendixes in clinically...
