Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

A new approach is proposed to characterize and discriminate temporomandi-bular joint vibrations. It consists of three steps. First, signals recorded during each cycle of mandibular movement are unified into a single time series. Second, this time series is embedded in some multidimensional space. Third, nonlinear analysis methods are applied to extract the pertinent signal characteristics. In this way two groups of signals have been characterized; those in the first group were recorded from patients whose post-treatment results werebad and the ones in the second group were recorded from patients whose post-treatment results were good. But patients in both groups had …

Infantile Galactosialidosis Associated Withvitamin D Deficiency Rickets, Koray Boduroğlu, Ergül Tunçbi̇lek, Turgay Coşkun, Canan Uçar

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Galactosialidosis is an autosomal recessive disease with combined deficiency of two lysosomal enzymes due to the lack of a protective protein. We report on a boy with infantile galactosialidosis who has an intermediate phenotype and vitamin D deficiency rickets. Due to the possible role of vitamin D deficiency in the pathogenesis of dysostosis multiplex we recommend that patients with lysosomal storage disease should be supplemented with vitamin D.

Arginine Hydrolysis By Mycoplasma Fermentansisregulated By Glucose, Sema Aşkin Özcan Jan 1999

Arginine Hydrolysis By Mycoplasma Fermentansisregulated By Glucose, Sema Aşkin Özcan

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Arginine metabolism by mycoplasmas has been reported to be correlated with pathogenicity. Since a clinically important mycoplasma; M. fermentans hydrolyses arginine as an energy source, the arginine metabolism amongst M. fermentans strains belonging to different isolation sites was investigated. Arginine hydrolysis was detected by the increase in NH 4+ concentration, measured using an NH 4+ -sensitive electrode. The method proved simple to use and gave reproducible results. In broth medium, arginine and glucose were both shown to act as energy sources for growth. It was also shown that, in contrast to previous work, glucose inhibited arginine hydrolysis during growth. There …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Malate Dehydrogenase (MDH) and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) activities were demonstrated in the mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions of an intestinal cestode, Taenia saginata, and then the in vitro effects of three anthelminthics, albendazole, niclosamide, and piperazine on these enzymes were investigated. The Vmax and Km values of MDH were found to be 3.00 \mumol (min mg protein) -1 and 0.0166 mM respectively. In vitro addition of albendazole and niclosamide increased the Vmax value of MDH, whereas it decreased Km value of MDH (p

Total And Lipid-Bound Sialic Acid Levels Inactinic Keratosis And Basal Cell Carcinoma, Pervi̇n Vural, Mukaddes Canbaz, Di̇lek Selçuki̇

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Malignant cells have more sialic acid in their cell membrane than normal cells. Many studies have shown that mean values of total sialic acid (TSA) or lipid-bound sialic acid (LSA) were higher in patients with cancer than in normal subjects. Sialic acid levels correlate with stage of disease, tumor burden, degree of metastasis and recurrence of disease. The aim of the present study was to determine the plasma TSA, LSA, total protein (TP) and TSA/TP values in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and evaluate if they are sensitive markers for malignancy. Plasma TSA and LSA were measured according to the method …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Cardiac troponin T (TnT) is a regulatory contractile protein not normally found in blood. Minor elevations of TnT in patients with unstable angina have been associated with an increased risk of subsequent death or Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). We used a neewly developed enzyme immunoassay for TnT to determine whether its presence in the serum of patients with unstable angina was a prognostic indicator. We screened 105 hatients with unstable angina (23 with accelerated or subacute angina and, 82 with acute angina at rest) for TnT every eight hours for two days after admission to the hospital.

Accuracy Of Sphygmomanometers, Okay Başak, Şebnem Karazeybek

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

One of the factors affecting the accuracy of readings of blood pressure is the equipment used. Defects or inaccuracy of aneroid sphygmomanometers may be source of error in blood pressure measurement. We inspected 100 sphygmomanometers for physical defects and assessed their accuracy against a standard mercury manometer at four different pressure points. 46 of the 100 sphygmomanometers were determined to be intolerant (deviation from the mercury manometer by greater than±3 mm Hg at two or more of the test points). There were faults in the inflation-deflation system of 34 sphygmomanometers. The most common physical defects were: defective pump bulb, defective …
