Growth Performance And Feed Conversion Efficiency Of Siberian Sturgeon Juveniles (Acipenser Baeri) Reared In Concrete Raceways, Gülten Köksal, Feri̇t Rad, Mevlüt Kindir

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Culture of sturgeon species is of great economical and ecological importance for those countries whose natural stocks of Acipenseridae spp. have declined or been exterminated. Siberian sturgeon ( Acipenser baeri) is considered one of the most suitable sturgeon species for aquaculture. This study was carried out in order to introduce the Siberian sturgeon to Turkey as a potential candidate for aquaculture and to investigate the growth and feed conversion performance of this species in concrete raceways (flow- through system) used in rainbow trout farming. A growth trial was conducted using 1300, 75 days old Siberian sturgeon juveniles imported from France. …

A Study On Selective Broths And Agar Media For The Isolation Of Escherichia Colio157:H7 Serotype, Mali̇he R. Noveir, A. Kadi̇r Halkman

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Modified tryptic soy broth, lauryl sulfate tryptose broth, modified EC broth, sorbitol MacConkey agar and Fluorocult E. coli O157 agar were tested for the recovery of 3 strains of Escherichia coliO157:H7 against E. colitype 1 and Citrobacter freundii as common competitive microflora of raw meat products. Two-stepped trials showed that modified EC broth and lauryl sulfate tryptose broth were superior to modified tryptic soy broth as selective enrichment media while sorbitol MacConkey agar was clearly better than Fluorocult E. coli O157 agar as a selective agar medium. Recovery of E. coli O157:H7 was difficult when selective enrichment broth-growing cohabitant microflora …

A Mouse Model For Evaluating The Induction Of Liver Glucose-6- Phosphate Dehydrogenase By Halothane, Ergül Belge Kurutaş, İlhan Tuncer

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The effect of halothane anesthesia in different doses and a period of two weeks on glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) activity of mouse liver were investigated. The mean and SD of G6PDH for liver of normal mice were 0.036±0.017 U/mg protein and 1.756±0.814 U/g liver, respectively. Although there was histopathological damage in the liver, liver weights in treated mice increased significantly compared to control animals. Increasing the dosage of halothane inhalation induced liver G6PDH enzyme activity (U/g liver) by 84%, 42% and 4%, showing an inverse relation with the dose of halothane (0.25, 0.50, 1.00 cc twice daily for two weeks). Although …

The Effect Of Halothane On The Enzymatic Activity Of Mouse Liver And Erythrocyte Glucose-6- Phosphate Dehydrogenase, Ergül Belge Kurutaş, Güneş T. Yüregi̇r, İlhan Tuncer

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

The effects of repeated halothane anaesthesia on 6-10 week old male, Mus musculus albino mice weighing 29-32 g were studied. Halothane, a widely used anaesthetic, is known to be metabolised in the liver to toxic intermediates through cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1). During the first week of repeated dosage, glucose-6- phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) activity decreased in both erythrocytes and liver cells, and during this time, livers increased significantly in weight and suffered histopathological damage, the damage increasing with the dosage of halothane, in the range 0.25-1.0 ml twice daily. When repeated anaesthesia was continued for a second week, G6PDH activity increased significantly …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

This prospective study was designed to investigate lymphocyte subsets in acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN). 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 …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Sulphydryl-containing captopril (CPR) appears to act as a scavanger of oxygen derived free radicals. This is not present in other angiotensin-converting enzymes such as enalapril (EPR). The hepatotoxic effect of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) may result from induction of reactive oxygen free radicals. The aim of this study was to analyse the effects of CPR and non- sulphydryl-containing enalapril (EPR) in healthy rats and in rats with CCL4-induced toxic hepatitis. The rats were divided into two major groups. The first group consisted of healthy rats, and the second group consisted of rats with CCl4- induced toxic hepatitis. Each major group was …

Evaluation Of Chitosan As A Potential Medical Iron (Iii) Ion Adsorbent, Ayer Burke, Elvan Yilmaz, Nesri̇n Hasirci

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Chitosan, a derivative of the natural polysaccharide chitin, is known for its biocompatibility and metal-binding capacity. The aim of this study was to combine these two properties of chitosan and investigate its potential as a new iron (III) ion (ferric ion) adsorbing agent. The development of a safe and orally active iron chelating agent is especially important for the treatment of thalassemics. In this study, the physicochemical parameters affecting the ability of chitosan flakes to adsorb iron (III) ions were studied by complexometric titration. The results showed that the iron (III) adsorption capacity of chitosan increases with the amount of …

Electrochemical Biosensor Based On Horseradish Peroxidase For The Determination Of Oxidizable Drugs, Arzum Erdem, Aysun Pabuccuoğlu, Burcu Meric, Kagan Kerman, Mehmet Özsöz

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

An amperometric biosensor based on a carbon paste electrode modified with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is defined as a device for the quantitative and qualitative detection of oxidizable drugs. This paper demonstrates the advantages of using HRP as the biocatalyst in the in vitro detection of oxidizable drugs in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Amperometric analysis and batch experiments were carried out in acetate buffer (pH 4.8) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Amperometry was performed by applying a potential of -0.1 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and adding a drug which has an oxidizable group (OxG; …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Identification of 78 Candida isolates was carried out by a commercial Fungichrom test kit, the reliability of which was further confirmed by conventional biochemical tests and the API 20C kit. Differentiation between different Candida species was also observed when sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of whole cell proteins was used. The most frequently isolated species of yeast from vaginal swabs obtained from patients was Candida albicans, which accounted for 39 of 78 (50.00%) of the isolates from women in Ankara. The next most frequent Candida species were Candida glabrata ( Torulopsis glabrata) and Candida krusei, which were isolated …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Since frequent and serious infections occur in diabetic patients, the investigation of the function of neutrophils is of importance. Any change in the lipid composition of the plasma membrane could be one of the causes of these infections. In order to investigate this possibility and to determine any abnormalities, neutrophils and monocytes were separated by the Histopaque- 1119 method from the blood samples (20 ml) of 10 diabetic and 10 healthy persons. After disruption of the cells, membrane lipids and proteins were isolated. Free fatty acids of phospholipids in membrane lipids were isolated by hydrolysing with phospholipase B under an …

Invasiveness Of Radiological Procedures: State-Trait Anxiety In Women Undergoing 3 Different Investigations And 3 Months Follow-Up, Fatma Gül Aksoy, Ayşegül Özdemi̇r, Yasemi̇n Genç

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Over the past decade, there has been considerable growth in interest in the application of stress management techniques for the preparation of patients needing to undergo noxious medical procedures. Here, we studied state-trait anxiety in women awaiting three different radiological examinations; abdominal ultrasonography, mammography, and hysterosalpingography, which involved various degrees of intrusiveness, and low, intermediate, and high levels of pain and physical/emotional discomfort respectively. We aimed to investigate whether the degree of anxiety corresponded to the level of invasiveness. In addition, we examined the impact of demographic variables on the degree of anxiety and conducted three months of follow-up measurements. …
