Urothelial carcinomas (UC) are the most common cancer type of the urinary system. The early diagnosis and treatment of UC are very important.The aim of this study was to evaluate the importance of the nuclear matrix protein 22 (NMP22) in early diagnosis of UC and to present its variation in cystitis and urothelial dysplasia (UD). Twenty patients with UC, 20 patients with UD and 20 patients with cystitis diagnosed by urinary cytological examination were enrolled in this study. In addition, 20 healthy people constituted the control group. Urine samples were collected from all patients and control subjects for NMP22 measurement …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Overproduction of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species leads to oxidative stress and decreased total antioxidant capacity, which is responsible for high mortality from several diseases such as endotoxic shock. Nitric oxide (NO) produced by inducible NO synthase (iNOS) during endotoxemia is the major cause of vascular hyporeactivity, hypotension and multiple organ failure. We investigated whether NO-mediated oxidative stress in rat heart, aorta and mesenteric artery is involved in the attenuation of endotoxin-induced hypotension by inhibition of iNOS. In conscious male Wistar rats, injection of endotoxin (10 mg/kg, i.p.) caused a gradual fall in mean arterial pressure (MAP) for 4 hours …

Ethidium Bromide Spot Test Is A Simple Yet Highly Accurate Method In Determining Dna Concentration, Murat Kasap, Si̇nem Torol, Gülçi̇n Gacar, Fatma Budak
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
A commonly used method to measure the amount of DNA in nucleic acid preparations is to use UV irradiation. However, if the DNA sample contains impurities, measuring UV irradiation is misleading. A quick way to estimate the amount of DNA in such samples is to analyze spot densities created by UV-induced fluorescence emitted by ethidium bromide. The amount of DNA is proportional to the amount of fluorescence. In many references, the spot density analysis is recommended for rough estimation of DNA concentration and is done by visual examination and comparison of the densities of each spot with the densities of …

The Oncocytic Variant Of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma, Reşi̇t Doğan Köseoğlu, Nurper Onuk Fi̇li̇z
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has many subtypes. A rare subtype consisting of papillary projections covered by cells oncocytic in character has been defined in recent years. Oncocytes with characteristic nuclear features of PTC are seen in the thyroid aspiration cytology of this subtype. In the cytological diagnosis, this variant could be confused with other oncocytic lesions of the thyroid. We discuss here the cytological and histopathological features of the oncocytic variant of PTC diagnosed in the aspiration biopsy and thyroid resection material in a 42-year-old female patient.

Agronomic Potential And Industrial Value Of Madder (Rubia Tinctorum L.) As A Dye Crop, Hasan Baydar, Tahsi̇n Karadoğan
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Madder (Rubia tinctorum L.) is a valuable dye crop due to its roots, which are rich in anthraquinone pigments, one of them being alizarin. This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic potential and industrial value of madder plants under rainfed conditions in Southwest Anatolia, Turkey. Three different propagation materials (seeds, seedlings and root cuttings), and 5 different propagation methods (autumn root transplanting, spring root transplanting, autumn seed sowing, spring seed sowing, and spring seedling transplanting) were used in the study. At the end of the 3-year growing period, fresh root yield varied from 1640.1 kg ha^{-1} (in the spring root …

Genetic Transformation Of Citrus Paradisi With Antisense And Untranslatable Rna-Dependent Rna Polymerase Genes Of Citrus Tristeza Closterovirus, Bayram Çevi̇k, Richard F. Lee, Charles L. Niblett
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Protein and RNA-mediated forms of pathogen-derived resistance (PDR) have been developed against many viruses in different plants. However, no resistance has been reported against Citrus tristeza virus (CTV), a closterovirus, in Citrus species transformed with coat protein genes or other sequences of CTV. The successful use of replication-associated genes in RNA-mediated resistance in other crops prompted the use of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene of CTV for the development of RNA-mediated PDR in Citrus. The RdRP gene was amplified from CTV isolate DPI3800 from Florida and used to generate antisense (RdRp-AS) and untranslatable (RdRp-UT) constructs with point mutation consecutive …
