Background/aim: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic complex autoimmune disease. Genetic and environmental factors increase the risk of JIA. It is accepted that alterations in immune system pathways play an important role in the pathogenesis of JIA. The aim of the study was to investigate the possible association between immune system regulatory gene polymorphisms and JIA in Turkish patients. Materials and methods: We analyzed eight polymorphisms, TNF-alpha-863 C > A, TNFRII 196 T > G, IL2-631 G > A, IL13-1112 C > T, CCR2 190 G > A, CCR5delta32, CTLA4-1661 A > G, and PTPN22 1858 C > T, in 76 patients with JIA and in …

Fish usually have a simple body shape and many morphological characters can be easily obtained by 2-dimensional image analysis. Measuring errors are often analyzed using data from several researchers or repeated measurements, but the testing of accuracy and repeatability based on different methods has rarely been examined. Here we report the comparison of manual measurements using Proma 150D digital calipers and computer-assisted image analysis in LUCIA software to evaluate the accuracy of both methods and the suitability of digital images for exploration of fish morphology. Eighteen morphometric characters of 20 specimens of Prussian carp were examined by 2 researchers. The …

The objective of this study was to display the transverse foramens (TFs) of cervical vertebrae with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and to identify their variations. Materials and methods: This study included 127 (63 women and 64 men) patients. The mean age was 46.4 years. MDCT images of cervical vertebrae were formed with volume rendering (VR) and multiplanar reconstruction. VR images were formed for each cervical vertebra between C1 and C7 and they were examined for the shape, diameter, and congenital variations of TFs. The TF diameters of each cervical vertebra were measured from MDCT images. Results: The widest TF diameters …

Liza abu stocks from the rivers Orontes, Euphrates and Tigris were investigated using genetic and morphometric data. Allozyme electrophoresis for genetic comparison and the truss network system for morphometric comparison were simultaneously applied to the same sample set. Highly significant morphological differences were observed between the 3 Liza abu stocks. The correct classification of individuals into their original samples for morphological characters was very high (100% of individuals). In discriminant function analyses, plotting discriminant functions revealed high isolation of the 3 stocks; the Tigris stock was very isolated from the Euphrates and Orontes stocks, and the Euphrates stock was located …
