To investigate the role of Wnt/\beta-catenin signaling pathway in cell apoptosis and proliferation in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats. Materials and methods: The ICH rats were established by stereotaxic infusion of 50 µL autologous arterial blood into the right striatum. Pathological characteristics of brain tissue was assessed by hematoxylin and eosin and TUNEL staining, and the expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Wnt3a/\beta-catenin/cyclin D1 were investigated by immunohistochemistry or reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results: The number of apoptotic cells and PCNA-positive cells kept increasing from the day following the ICH induction and reached a peak on the 3rd …

Penetrating heart injuries result in high mortality. We designed a new catheter to facilitate the treatment of penetrating cardiac injuries and provide more effective initial bleeding control and fluid replacement. Materials and methods: The cardiac injury model was applied to 8 female 1-year-old Sus domesticus pigs. Subjects were grouped according to whether a Foley catheter or a newly designed catheter was placed into the heart through cardiac lacerations. Changes in systolic blood pressures, mortality, and problems encountered during surgery and other intraoperative findings were recorded. Results: There were higher mean blood pressure measurements in the newly designed catheter group during …

To investigate vasoconstrictor responses of healthy blood vessels to short-term hyperglycemic conditions such as postprandial hyperglycemia, gestational diabetes mellitus, and steroid-induced diabetes. Materials and methods: Female Wistar rat aorta rings were incubated in normal (11 mM) and high (22 mM and 44 mM) glucose concentrations for 4 h. Responses of vasoconstriction were measured in reaction to serotonin (10-5 M), phenylephrine (10-6 M), and KCl (60 mM) compared to the ambient condition, including different glucose concentrations. Results: While the responses of vasoconstriction to KCl were increased in the presence of Krebs' solution with high glucose, no statistically significant changes were observed …

To examine the effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on mean platelet volume (MPV), lipid profile, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in postmenopausal women who have a high risk and incidence of cardiovascular disease. Materials and methods: This study was performed retrospectively. Twenty-seven healthy postmenopausal women received 1 mg estradiol and 2 mg drospirenone orally for 6 months. Twenty-eight healthy postmenopausal women not taking any HRT were admitted to the study as the control population. Results: Time effect (independent from group effect) was statistically significant for the MPV variable (P = 0.025), but there was no significant change in MPV …

Vascular risk factors play an important role in the progression of Alzheimer disease (AD). Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a determinant of platelet functionality and increased MPV is associated with an increased risk of vascular inflammation. Here we aimed to examine whether MPV could be used as a marker of vascular damage in AD and to discuss the relation between MPV and other vascular risk factors. Materials and methods: A total of 109 outpatients with AD and 81 healthy controls were included in this study. Diagnosis of AD was made according to defined criteria. The Turkish version of the Mini …

Hemophilia is an inherited disease with serious repercussions. Psychiatric symptoms are frequently seen in children and adolescents with hemophilia. The aim of this study was to assess symptoms of anxiety in children with hemophilia and parental attitude towards children with hemophilia. Materials and methods: 42 boys were assessed according to child and adolescent psychiatry. Anxiety symptoms and parental attitude were obtained by the State-Trait Anxiety Scale, the Self-Report for Childhood Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED) and the Parent Attitude Research Instrument (PARI). Results: The mean age was 11.6 ± 2.5 (range; 7-16). State anxiety scores (44.02 ± 6.9) were higher than …

We report here an instrument designed by Dr Hasan Börekci that provides support to the knot to facilitate knot tying in laparoscopic procedures. We call the device the 'Börekci knot-supporting instrument' and the technique 'Börekci's knot technique'. Materials and methods: To evaluate the efficacy of this instrument, 17 surgeons performing laparoscopic surgery tied 3 knots using the classical intracorporeal method and then using the intracorporeal knot-supporting instrument. The times required to tie each knot were recorded and compared statistically. Results: Comparing the 2 knotting methods, the time spent tying the knots was shorter with the knot-supporting instrument in all 3 …
