Effect Of Selenium On "Low T_3 Syndrome" Inhepatic Failure, Emir Dönder, Mehmet Çay, Necip İlhan, Giyasettin Baydaş, Mustafa Naziroğlu

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Triiodothyronine occurs especially in 5'-monodeiodination of thyroxin in peripheral tissues. Deiodination of thyroxin mainly occurs in the liver. The enzyme which catalyzes this reaction is a seleno-enzyme. Deiodinase enzyme activity and the triiodothyronine level decrease in selenium deficiency. After the occurrence of chronic hepatic failure by carbon tetrachloride in rats, we gave sodium selenite to these rats. Then, we tried to evaluate the changes in thyroid hormone levels. Liver function tests, thyroxin and triiodothyronine levels, and hepatic 5'-deiodinase and glutathione peroxidase enzyme activities were measured. Triiodothyronine levels in the carbon tetrachloride group and carbon tetrachloride + selenium group were significantly …

Association Of Hla Type With Pseudoexfoliationof The Lens Capsule, Hakkı Doğan, Türkan Patiroğlu, Engin Baykal, Kuddusi Erkiliç

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Exfoliation of the lens capsule is asymptomatic but it is associated with the development of glaucoma and blindness if undetected and untreated. The occurrence of exfoliation varies widely in different countries where the population is ethnically homogeneous. It is suggested that both genetic and environmental influences are important in the development of exfoliative syndrome (ES). This study was carried out to determine if there was any relation between ES and HLA. HLA antigen types were determined in 45 patients with exfoliative syndrome. We found a strong association between HLA-A2, HLA-DR5, HLA B21 and HLA-DR7 and the existence of ES (Chi …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Margins are one of the most important aspects in the success of restorations. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of different metal surface treatments on the marginal microleakage of a resinbonded non-precious alloy (Remanium CS). After alloy surfaces were roughened by chemical etching or sandblasting the tooth and metal specimens were bonded together in pairs with a chemically curing resin cement (Panavia 21 EX) and placed in methylene blue dye. Spectrophotometry was used to assess marginal leakage. Statistical analysis was completed using the ANOVA test. No statistically significant difference in leakage was found between the groups (F=0.4387, p>0.05).
