Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

One of the most important obstacles in renal transplantation is the rejection phenomenon. In spite of the developments in medical technology and immunology, early diagnosis of rejection and specific immunosuppression of the immune attack against the graft have not yet been totally accomplished. Lymphocyte cross-matching (LCM), a test to detect the presence of preformed antibodies in the donor against the recipient, is a practical and cheap method and is performed at almost all renal transplantation centers before transplantation. In this study, we searched for the relation between the posttransplant LCM status and graft survival. LCM was positive in 7 patients …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Cartilage grafts are widely used in maxillo-facial reconstruction operations. There are some difficulties of conventional suture techniques in these operations such as long operation time, mobilization, shifting, and implantation or fixation of small pieces of cartilage. Therefore the advantages of a tissue adhesive over conventional suture techniques became evident in these operations. Butyl 2-Cyanoacrylate (B2-CA) is one of the least histotoxic cyanoacrylate derivatives and is used as a tissue adhesive. In this study, B2-CA was compared with conventional suture techniques in securing rabbit auricular cartilage autografts. Sutures were used in the left control ears and B2-CA was used in the …

Pseudoleukocytosis And Pseudothrombocytosis Incryoglobulinemia, Naciye Şemnur İleri̇, Yahya Büyükaşik, Selma Karaahmetoğlu, Halûk Demi̇roğlu, Osman Müftüoğlu, Semra Dündar

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Cryoglobulinemia has been reported rarely to cause false elevation in platelet and/or leukocyte counts due to temperature-dependent protein precipitates that interpreted as blood cells at room temperature. Upon heating to 37°C, these blood counts decrease to normal levels as cryoproteins dissolve. Here, we report two cases with this rare phenomenon that may lead to inappropriate investigations in clinical practice and have diagnostic significance when kept in mind.
