Hemodynamic Changes After Aortopulmonary Separation, Ersi̇n Fadillioğlu, M. Kemal Irmak, Murat Yağmurca, Hasan Erdoğan Jan 2003

Hemodynamic Changes After Aortopulmonary Separation, Ersi̇n Fadillioğlu, M. Kemal Irmak, Murat Yağmurca, Hasan Erdoğan

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

The neural crest origin of the aortopulmonary septum has led us to investigate the septum. We designed the present study to assess the hemodynamic changes following aortopulmonary separation in the rat. We freed the ascending aorta from the pulmonary artery by blunt dissection and placed aluminium foil between them in anesthetized, ventilated, open-chest animals and found that the procedure resulted in a slight but significant increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure and in an insignificant elevation of the heart rate. The hemodynamic deterioration observed after the separation process might be a result of a possible function of the aortopulmonary …


Design Of A Tem-Cell With Increased Usable Test Area, Kresimir Malaric, Juraj Bartolic Jan 2003

Design Of A Tem-Cell With Increased Usable Test Area, Kresimir Malaric, Juraj Bartolic

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Transversal electromagnetic mode cells (TEM-cells) are used for electromagnetic compatibility measurements (emission and immunity), and for biomedical applications. Over the years, higher and higher frequencies are being used, which demands smaller transmission structures in order to obtain the homogeneous field distribution due to resonance. Such resonance destroys the TEM field, introducing higher order modes. The goal was to design the TEM-cell for GSM frequencies that will have a larger area with a homogeneous field used for testing, while still obtaining the characteristic impedance. Commercial TEM-cells used for frequencies of 900 MHz have only 2 cm in height available for testing, …

Reproductive Response Of Adult Siberian Hamsters To One-Hour Melatonin Infusions, Bülent Gündüz, Milton H. Stetson

Turkish Journal of Biology

The pineal hormone melatonin is known to play an important role in mediating photoperiodic messages to the reproductive system in seasonal breeding animals. In this study, we investigated whether a 1 h subcutaneous infusion of 50 ng of melatonin at 2000-2100 hours, effective in causing inhibition of testicular development in the juvenile Siberian hamsters (Phodopus sungorus), would cause testicular regression in adults of this species housed on a long photoperiod (LD16:8). Pinealectomized adult hamsters received programmed subcutaneous infusions of 50 or 500 ng of melatonin or vehicle (0.12 ml) at 2000-2100 hours each day for 8 weeks. We found that …
