Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have been known to inhibit the effects of angiotensin II which increases the vascular resistance. In this study, we studied the acute effects of a single dose of 2.5 mg oral cilazapril, ACE inhibitor on blood flow velocity and vascular resistance parameters of central retinal artery (CRA) by color Doppler ultrasonography in 17 patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and compared the effects of the drug with a placebo group including 17 patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy. After cilazapril medication, peak systolic blood flow velocity of central retinal artery didn't change, while peak diastolic and …

Effect Of Selenium On "Low T_3 Syndrome" Inhepatic Failure, Emir Dönder, Mehmet Çay, Necip İlhan, Giyasettin Baydaş, Mustafa Naziroğlu Jan 1998

Effect Of Selenium On "Low T_3 Syndrome" Inhepatic Failure, Emir Dönder, Mehmet Çay, Necip İlhan, Giyasettin Baydaş, Mustafa Naziroğlu

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Triiodothyronine occurs especially in 5'-monodeiodination of thyroxin in peripheral tissues. Deiodination of thyroxin mainly occurs in the liver. The enzyme which catalyzes this reaction is a seleno-enzyme. Deiodinase enzyme activity and the triiodothyronine level decrease in selenium deficiency. After the occurrence of chronic hepatic failure by carbon tetrachloride in rats, we gave sodium selenite to these rats. Then, we tried to evaluate the changes in thyroid hormone levels. Liver function tests, thyroxin and triiodothyronine levels, and hepatic 5'-deiodinase and glutathione peroxidase enzyme activities were measured. Triiodothyronine levels in the carbon tetrachloride group and carbon tetrachloride + selenium group were significantly …

Effects Of Silver On Humans Living Near A Silvermine, Burhanettin Işikli, Temur Ali Demi̇r, Ünal Özelmas, Asiye Berber

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of silver mining on individuals living in Gümüs, a province of Kütahya in Turkey, which is located near a silver mine. For this purpose, two groups of subjects were chosen. The first group consisted of 59 people (n=59) above the age of 30 who had been potentially exposed to silver. The second group, which formed the control group of the study, were the same age as the first group (p>0.05) but had not been exposed to silver manufacturing, and lacked a history of silver medication. Blood, urine, hair, soil, …

Association Of Hla Type With Pseudoexfoliationof The Lens Capsule, Hakkı Doğan, Türkan Patiroğlu, Engin Baykal, Kuddusi Erkiliç Jan 1998

Association Of Hla Type With Pseudoexfoliationof The Lens Capsule, Hakkı Doğan, Türkan Patiroğlu, Engin Baykal, Kuddusi Erkiliç

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Exfoliation of the lens capsule is asymptomatic but it is associated with the development of glaucoma and blindness if undetected and untreated. The occurrence of exfoliation varies widely in different countries where the population is ethnically homogeneous. It is suggested that both genetic and environmental influences are important in the development of exfoliative syndrome (ES). This study was carried out to determine if there was any relation between ES and HLA. HLA antigen types were determined in 45 patients with exfoliative syndrome. We found a strong association between HLA-A2, HLA-DR5, HLA B21 and HLA-DR7 and the existence of ES (Chi …

Helicobacter Pylori Seropositivity In Children Withrecurrent Abdominal Pain, Engin Günel, Duygu Findik, Fatma Çağlayan, Zerrin Topgaç

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) is a significant problem in pediatric patients, and there has been much recent interest in the role that Helicobacter pylori (Hp) might play in this disorder. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalance of Hp infection in children with RAP, and to determine whether there was an association between Hp and RAP. The study was conducted on 50 children with RAP and 20 asymptomatic children admitted for inguinal surgery as a control group. Serum samples from the 70 children were tested for anti-Hp Ig G and anti-Hp Ig A by ELISA. Of the …

G6pd Deficiency In Turkish Cypriots, Ayşe Sözüöz, İlkay Çamber Jan 1998

G6pd Deficiency In Turkish Cypriots, Ayşe Sözüöz, İlkay Çamber

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

1108 Turkish Cypriot men and 318 male labourers from mainland Turkey were screened for G6PD deficiency and haemoglobinopathy traits. The results revealed a 6.7% G6PD deficiency rate in the Turkish Cypriot men and a 1.6% prevalance rate in the Turkish men. The mean haemoglobin level of the G6PD deficient males was approximately 1g/dl lower than that of the non-deficient males.

The aim of this stduy was to evaluate the eitology, clinical distribution, complications, progress and hospitalization time of the cerebral palsy patients treated at Ankara Rehabilitation Center during the last 2.5 years. Clinical grouping was done according to the John F. Kennedy Institute system of clasification. Degrees of head control, sitting balance, ability to crawl, balance on hands and knees, standing balance, gait and ambulation on admission and discharge were compared. The study group consisted of 305 patients (ages 2-14, mean 5.8; 129 girls and 176 boys). Perinatal factors were the most common etiologic factors in cerebral palsy. The clinical …

Detrusor Hyperreflexia In Stroke, Zafer Aybek, Türker Şahi̇ner, Atilla Oğuzhanoğlu, Levent Tuncay Jan 1998

Detrusor Hyperreflexia In Stroke, Zafer Aybek, Türker Şahi̇ner, Atilla Oğuzhanoğlu, Levent Tuncay

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

In this study detrusor hyperreflexia was investigated by urodynamic study during the acute phase of stroke in patients who became incontinent after a cerebrovascular accident. Urodynamic studies reveal physiopathological findings of incontinence while the acute period of cerebrovascular accident do not cover neurogenic bladder features. In our study it was observed that most of the patients (60%) had normal bladder functions and detrusor hyperreflexia was a rare rindings. This result is consistent with the other studies in literature.

The Effects Of Different Metal Surfacetreatments On Marginal Microleakage In Resin-Bondedrestorations, Y. Şinasi Saraç, Kürsat Eser, Bedri Beydemi̇r, Tanju Akbay Jan 1998

The Effects Of Different Metal Surfacetreatments On Marginal Microleakage In Resin-Bondedrestorations, Y. Şinasi Saraç, Kürsat Eser, Bedri Beydemi̇r, Tanju Akbay

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Margins are one of the most important aspects in the success of restorations. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of different metal surface treatments on the marginal microleakage of a resinbonded non-precious alloy (Remanium CS). After alloy surfaces were roughened by chemical etching or sandblasting the tooth and metal specimens were bonded together in pairs with a chemically curing resin cement (Panavia 21 EX) and placed in methylene blue dye. Spectrophotometry was used to assess marginal leakage. Statistical analysis was completed using the ANOVA test. No statistically significant difference in leakage was found between the groups (F=0.4387, p>0.05).
