Development Of An Enzyme Immunoassay For The Determination Of Ovine Growth Hormone In Plasma, Behi̇ç Serpek, Seyfullah Hali̇loğlu Jan 2000

Development Of An Enzyme Immunoassay For The Determination Of Ovine Growth Hormone In Plasma, Behi̇ç Serpek, Seyfullah Hali̇loğlu

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

A competitive enzyme immunoassay for the determination of ovine growth hormone (oGH) was developed. The assay is based on (anti-rabbit IgG) goat IgG-coated microtitreplates, anti-oGH from rabbits, biotinyl-oGH and streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase. The assay is done directly with 40 ml of plasma and the calibration graph (90% relative binding at 0.38 ± 0.02 ng ml -1 and 50% relative binding at 3.80 ± 0.18 ng ml -1 ) is prepared in plasma without measurable endogenous oGH. Recovery in different plasma samples with added oGH amounted to 96.78 - 100.03 %, and all variabilities were < 10.44. The assay shows no significant binding of oFSH, oLH, oTSH and oPRL. The assay detects high and low plasma oGH levels within the physiological variation as well as changes in plasma oGH after stimulation with growth hormone releasing factor. Hence, it offers a reliable alternative radioimmunoassay. However, a reference method providing evidence of the identity of exogenous oGH will be required for proving illegal treatment with oGH and for forensic purposes.

Localization Of Haemophilus Somnus Antigen By An Immunoper Oxidase Technique In Pneumonic Bovine Lungs, Rifki Haziroğlu, Jale Erdeğer, M. Yavuz Gülbahar, Oğuz Kul, Murat Yildirim

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

One hundred pneumonic lungs from calves were examined by an immunoper oxidase technique using avidin-biotin- per oxidase complex method in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections for Haemophilus somnus. In the histological examination of tissue sections, strong positive reactions against H. somnus were detected in 14% of the lungs. H. somnus antigens were observed at the surface and/or within the epithelial cells, macrophages, necrotic alveolar walls, alveolar -bronchial/br onchiolar exudates, fibrins, distended interlobular septa and perivascular areas. In addition, dense antigen accumulations were detected in the necrotic macrophages and neutrophils.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This research was carried out on mirror carps ( Cyprinus carpio, L.,1758) taken from Seyhan Dam Lake and Seyhan River between January and October 1996 to determine some blood parameters. Erythrocyte, leucocyte count, leucocyte cell formulas, total serum protein and serum glucose values of mirror Carps ( Cyprinus carpio, L.,1758 ) caught from Seyhan Dam Lake and Seyhan River were also compared statistically. Different values were recorded in erythrocyte and serum protein amounts for both environments (P0.05).

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo -p-dioxin), an addictive substance in cigarettes, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of pancreatic carcinoma. This compound has not been tested previously for carcinogenicity towards the pancreas, although TCDD is a known liver carcinogen. The present study was designed to ascertain whether TCDD may have a promoting effect on the development of precursor pancreatic lesions on the rat exocrine pancreas. For this purpose, 30 out of a total of 60 male Leeds rats aged two weeks received a single weekly i.p. injection of azaserine (30 mg/kg body weight) for 5 weeks. The rest of rats (n=30) were used …

Comparison Of Sister Choromatid Exchangefrequency Between Two Distinct Forms Ofanterior Uveitis, Murat Kaya, İbrahi̇m Koçer, Sitki Öztaş Jan 2000

Comparison Of Sister Choromatid Exchangefrequency Between Two Distinct Forms Ofanterior Uveitis, Murat Kaya, İbrahi̇m Koçer, Sitki Öztaş

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Acute anterior uveitis (AAU) is one of the most prevalent forms of intraocular inflammatory disorders. Although immunological and inflammatory factors are thought to play a part in the pathogenesis of the disease, its real etiology is unknown. AAU is mostly seen in two distinct types; the first one an idiopathic form, and the other frequently associated with a systemic disease such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and Behçet's disease (BD). Sister choromatid exchange (SCE) analysis was performed on peripheral lymphocytes from the patients with either idiopathic AAU or AAU associated with a systemic disease, in order to explore the genomic instability …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

In recent years, Endothelin-1 (ET-1), Platelet Activating Factor (PAF) and thromboxane have been considered responsible for the pathogenesis of acute cyclosporine nephrotoxicity (ACN). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the PAF antagonist gingko glycosid (EGb 761) on both renal histology and ET-1 and Nitric Oxide (NO) levels in experimental ACN. This study was carried out on 30 albino rabbits, divided into three groups. They were: group A (n=10) the control, group B (n=10), which was given intravenous cyclosporine (15mg/kg/day) and group C (n=10), which was given oral gingko glycosid (2.5mg/kg/day) in addition to cyclosporine.

Effects Of Misoprostol On The Endometrium Ofovariectomized Rats, Ali̇ Suha Sönmez, Mustafa Bi̇ri̇nci̇oğlu, Abdullah Aydin, Ertuğrul Kiliç, Nurhan Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Misoprostol (Cytotec, Searle, England), a prostaglandin E1 analogue, is indicated for protection of peptic disease induced by cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors. Since vaginal bleeding was reported during misoprostol use previously, we hypothesized that misoprostol might cause endometrial stimulation. Therefore, we investigated the effects of misoprostol on the endometrium of ovariectomized (OVX) rats to investigate any endometrial changes. Thirty-two, four month-old, parous female Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study. All rats underwent ovariectomy at the beginning of the study. Sixty days after the ovariectomy six rats were sacrificed to remove the uterus and the remaining 26 rats were divided into three groups. …

Serum Carnitine Levels In Patients With Coronaryartery Disease, Serkan Özgi̇rgi̇n, Di̇lek Özmen, Işil Mutaf, Nevbahar Turgan, Hakan Kültürsay, Oya Bayindir, Necla Ni̇şli̇

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Carnitine is an essential molecule for the transfer of long chain fatty acids through the inner mitochondrial membrane, for beta-oxidation (1). The long chain fatty acids provide a large proportion of the energy requirement of the myocardium. Thus, adequate amounts of tissue carnitine are required to maintain the normal function of the myocardium (2). Experimental studies on acute myocardial ischemia and clinical investigations of patients with congestive cardiac failure have indicated that the myocardial carnitine content was significantly lowered in both conditions, in contrast to raised or normal blood carnitine (3-5). In the present study, alterations in serum carnitine levels …

Peripheral blood lymphocytes were analyzed using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled CD3, CD4, CD8, CD14, CD19, CD45, CD56, CD45RA and CDW29 monoclonal antibodies by flow cytometry. Twenty patients aged 14-22 years who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for APSGN were evaluated during the 1st and 12th weeks of the of disease. Twenty-four age-matched healthy subjects served as controls. At the onset of the disease, all patients had macroscopic haematuria with red blood cell casts in urine, proteinuria (1.06±0.21 g/d), low complement 3 (C3) levels (200 IU/ml), edema, oliguria …

Biodegradable Implants In Orthopaedics And Traumatology, Haluk Yetki̇n, Alpaslan Şenköylü, Erdal Ci̇la, Aki̇f Muhtar Öztürk, Sezai̇ Aykin Şi̇mşek

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Biodegradable implants are an alternative to metallic implants and have the advantage of not being necessary to remove once the fracture has healed. Twenty-two patients with fractures were treated with biodegradable implants. There were osteolysis in eleven patients; however, no serious complication was encountered. Although biodegradable implants are expensive, a second surgical procedure to remove the implants is not necessary, relieving the patient of the related costs and risks.
