Myostatin, along with its binding protein follistatin, have been demonstrated to inhibit skeletal muscle development during embryonic and postnatal development, whereas IGF-1 has been reported to stimulate skeletal muscle development and overall growth. The objectives of the current study were to determine the expression profiles of myostatin and follistatin genes, and to evaluate the impact of in ovo administration of recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1 (rhIGF-1) on these gene expression patterns during quail embryogenesis, with an emphasis on skeletal muscle development. Quail eggs were injected once with 100 ng rhIGF-1 in 10 mM acetic acid, 0.1% BSA per embryo on …

Comparison Of Polymerase Chain Reaction And Conventional Methods For The Diagnosis Of Listeria Monocytogenes In Stuffed Mussels, Ergün Ö. Göksoy, Şükrü Kirkan, Osman Kaya

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of stuffed mussel as a source of Listeria monocytogenes. Polymerase chain reaction is a rapid procedure with both sensitivity and specificity for quick detection and identification of L. monocytogenes. A total of 50 mussel samples were investigated for L. monocytogenes. L. monocytogenes was not identified by the conventional method. However, PCR amplification products demonstrated that 5 out of 50 samples showed positive reactions with L. monocytogenes. The PCR positive samples showed specific amplification at approximately 343 bp for L. monocytogenes.

Effects Of Feeding Acidified Milk Replacer On The Growth, Health And Behavioural Characteristics Of Holstein Friesian Calves, Mete Yanar, Olcay Güler, Bahri̇ Bayram, Jale Meti̇n

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The objective of this study was to compare the performances of calves fed acidified milk replacer (AMR) or sweet (regular) milk replacer (SMR) at 8% of birth weight. Twenty-one calves (10 males, 11 females) were offered replacers reconstituted to 12% of dry matter over 5 weeks. In the group fed AMR, daily body weight gains of calves at the different stages of growth were comparable to those for calves fed SMR. In the preweaning period, calves offered AMR had similar dry matter intakes from starter, milk replacer and dry hay as well as total intake as those fed SMR. In …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Leteux-Meyer mixture (LMM) contains formalin and malachite green and can be externally applied to fish as an antimicrobial agent. To determine the effects of prophylactic treatment with LMM on plasma lysozyme levels and the secondary stress indices, alterations in plasma glucose, chloride, sodium, potassium and hematocrit were monitored in healthy rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss W. Fish were i) exposed to 25 ppm Leteux-Meyer mixture for 60 min and ii) the same treatment followed by 60 min recovery in clean freshwater. Treatment with LMM resulted in a decrease in plasma lysozyme values. After a recovery period of 60 min plasma lysozyme …

Seroprevalence Of Cytomegalovirus Antibodies In Haemodialysis Patients, Sebahatti̇n Ocak, Ni̇zami̇ Duran, Ali̇ Fuat Eski̇ocak

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Background: Although symptoms of infection caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV) in healthy adults are generally mild, the virus is known to produce severe symptoms most often in immunocompromised patients. Patients with chronic renal failure are prone to CMV infection. CMV, as a nosocomial infection in immunocompromised patients, is a problem for clinicians. Aim: We aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of CMV infection among the haemodialysis (HD) patients in our region. Patients and Methods: Serum samples were taken from 255 patients who received treatment in 3 different HD clinics and a control group of 70 healthy persons. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was …

Comparison Of The Diagnostic Value Of The Standard Tube Agglutination Test And The Elisa Igg And Igm In Patients With Brucellosis, Mustafa Ertek, Hali̇l Yazgi, Zülal Özkurt, Ahmet Ayyildiz, Mehmet Parlak

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Background and Aims: Brucellosis is endemic in Turkey. Since it affects many organs and the symptoms are non-specific, the diagnosis by clinical findings is difficult and may be easily missed. Many serological tests have been used for the diagnosis of human brucellosis. This study compared the diagnostic value of the Brucella standard tube agglutination test (SAT) with that of ELISA (Brucella specific IgG and IgM) tests in patients with Brucella bacteremia. Patients and Methods: Thirty-two patients with brucellosis who had positive blood and/or bone-marrow cultures for Brucella species, and 20 healthy individuals as controls were included in the study. Results: …

Investigation Of Four Different Normality Tests In Terms Of Type 1 Error Rate And Power Under Different Distributions, Derya Öztuna, Ati̇lla Hali̇l Elhan, Ersöz Tüccar Jan 2006

Investigation Of Four Different Normality Tests In Terms Of Type 1 Error Rate And Power Under Different Distributions, Derya Öztuna, Ati̇lla Hali̇l Elhan, Ersöz Tüccar

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Background: An important aspect of the "description" of a variable is the shape of its distribution, which tells you the frequency of values from different ranges of the variable. Typically, as most of the statistical tests are based on the normality assumption, a researcher is interested in how well the distribution can be approximated by the normal distribution. Unless there are extreme violations of the normality assumptions, approved statistical tests usually provide accurate results. Although simple descriptive statistics can provide some information relevant to this issue, more precise information can be obtained by performing one of the tests of normality …

Treatment Of Periapical Dental Implant Pathology With Guided Bone Regeneration, Tolga Fi̇kret Tözüm, Cenk Erdal, Işil Saygun

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Peri-implantitis is the inflammatory process that takes place around alveolar bone surrounding the dental implant. Unless treated, it may result with the loss of the implant. Another cause of the loss of implant is the periapical implant pathology (PIP). Resective surgical procedures are used in the treatment of PIP, however; this case report will provide information about regenarative applications performed on a dental implant. After the referral of the patient, the surgical debridement followed by bone graft and a resorbable membrane application were performed to complete the surgery. Six months follow-up of the patient who received regenerative treatment, resulted with …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is an inflammatory condition of unknown etiology. The exact role of the leukocytes in the pathogenesis of RAS is not known. The aim of this study was to evaluate the status of the oxidative system in neutophils of RAS patients. A total of 26 patients and 22 sex and age matched healthy control subjects were analyzed by measuring intracellular oxidant/antioxidant enzymes and related parameters; myeloperoxidase (MPO), xanthine oxidase (XO), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), adenosine deaminase (AD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO). Statistically significant increases in the activities of SOD, CAT and levels of MDA, …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

The aim of this study is to compare two accepted techniques; intravenous (IV) remifentanil infusion versus its combination with paracervical block (PCB) in patients undergoing transvaginal ultrasound guided oocyte retrieval (TUGOR). One hundred unpremedicated patients were divided into two groups to receive either IV remifentanil (Group R) or IV remifentanil plus PCB (Group R+PCB). After monitoring cardiopulmonary parameters, remifentanil infusion of 0.25 µg kg^{-1} min-1 was started in both in groups. Additionally, when the patient felt dizzy, PCB with 10 ml 1% lidocaine was performed only in Group R+PCB followed by remifentanil infusion reduction to 0.15 µg kg^{-1} min-1. Hemodynamic …
