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.

Lipid Peroxidation And Lipid Metabolism Inpostmenopausal Women, Banu Önvural, Hülya Öztüre, Ata Önvural, Meral Fadiloğlu

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

The aims of this study were to determine the degree of lipid peroxidation in the sera of postmenopausal women and compare this with the lipid peroxidation of a premenopausal group, and to see if there was any correlation between lipid parameters and lipid peroxidation within the groups. We assayed the lipid profiles and malondialdehyde (MDA), a marker for lipid peroxidation, in a postmenopausal group (n=57, mean age=49.4±6.6), an age-matched male group (n=21, mean age=48.5±6.7) and a control group (n=31, mean age=27.7±5.2). MDA was measured as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) using a modified version of Yagi's method. MDA was significantly …

The Effects Of Vitamin E On Catalase Activies In Various Rat Tissues, Gülinnaz Alper, Mehtap Çinar, Cenk Can, Gülriz Menteş, Biltan Ersöz, Akgün Evinç

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Vitamin E and other antioxidants prevent or minimize oxidative damage in biological systems. The level of antioxidant defense sufficient to protect the organism from high free radical concentrations is one of the new horizons for Vitamin E research. The role of Vitamin E as a protective agent aganist oxidative stress was evaluated by meas-uring the antioxidant enzyme catalase (CAT) activities in different tissues of Swiss male albino rats aged two months. In this study, rats were divided to three groups; control (n=10), E 1 (n=5) which received 25 mg/kg. per day of Vitamin E, IM. for 10 days and E …

Identifying Global Anatomical Differences: Deformation-Based Morphometry, J Ashburner, C Hutton, R Frackowiak, Ingrid Johnsrude, C Price, K Friston Jan 1998

Identifying Global Anatomical Differences: Deformation-Based Morphometry, J Ashburner, C Hutton, R Frackowiak, Ingrid Johnsrude, C Price, K Friston

Brain and Mind Institute Researchers' Publications

The aim of this paper is to illustrate a method for identifying macroscopic anatomical differences among the brains of different populations of subjects. The method involves spatially normalizing the structural MR images of a number of subjects so that they all conform to the same stereotactic space. Multivariate statistics are then applied to the parameters describing the estimated nonlinear deformations that ensue. To illustrate the method, we compared the gross morphometry of male and female subjects. We also assessed brain asymmetry, the effect of handedness, and interactions among these effects.

Harnessing The Human Genome Through Legislative Restraint, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

The awesome predictive power of genetic medicine promises great advancements in not only the treatment of identifiable conditions but the prevention of their pathological manifestations. At the same time, the release and dissemination of this genetic or medical information poses a distinct risk of loss of privacy and stigmatization to carriers of genetic disorders. In order to safeguard the individual right of autonomy, privacy, confidentiality and informed consent-yet accommodate the legitimate interests of employers and insurers to obtain medical information relevant to their professional needs and economic responsibilities a balance must be struck legislatively at the federal and state levels …

The Effects Of Constant Darkness And Constantlight On The Pineal Gland And Thymusmorphology In The Rats, Nihal İçten, Filiz Karagöz, K. Ali Güneç Jan 1998

The Effects Of Constant Darkness And Constantlight On The Pineal Gland And Thymusmorphology In The Rats, Nihal İçten, Filiz Karagöz, K. Ali Güneç

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

It is known that periods of constant darkness and constant light cause stim-ulation and inhibition of melatonin secretion from the pineal gland. It is also suggested that neuroendocrine responses to environmental stimuli, such as light, can influence immune responses through the pineal gland. For these reasons, in this study the effects of the alterations in the photoperiod rhythm on the pineal gland and thymus morphology were experimentally investigated. 30 Swiss albino rats, aged 4 wk, were divided into 3 groups. Group I rats were kept in a dark room, group II in a room under a bright artificial light and …

Hüseyin Eray Bulut,Erdoğan Gürsoy, An Ultrastructural Study

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Cryptorchidism causes a failure in testosterone secretion from the testicles. The metabolism of the adrenocortical steroids is influenced by sex hormones. Therefore testicular failure may cause structural and func-tional alterations in adrenal cortex. It is the aim of the present study to evaluate the effect of experimental caryptorchidism on the ultrastructure of the rat adrenal cortex, especialy on the reticularis region during prepubertal and postpubertal ages. Three groups of animals were used in the present study. The first (prepubertal) group consisted of 5,21-day old rats whereas the second (postpubertal) group was made of 5,3-month old rats. Third group was the …


Identification Of Fibronectin Adhesins On Candidaalbicans, Gülhan Vardar-Ünlü Jan 1998

Identification Of Fibronectin Adhesins On Candidaalbicans, Gülhan Vardar-Ünlü

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

The pattern of distribution of fibronectin adhesins on yeast and hyphal-form Candida albicanswas studied with gold-labelled fibronectin and transmission electron microscopy. The germ-tube parts of the hyphal-form cells were the major binding sites for gold-labelled fibronectin, and the attached yeast-cell parts and yeast-form cell remained unlabelled. Therefore, the walls of the germ tube parts of hyphal-form cells might be sites of important interactions between C. albicans and host tissues containing fibronectin.

The Change Of Glutathione Dependentanti-Oxidant Mechanism In Patients With Chronicrenal Disease By Hemodialysis, Hatice Paşaoğlu, Sabahattin Muhtaroğlu, Mehmet Güneş, Cengiz Utaş

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

In order to test the for existence of a possible effect during hemodialysis we investigated glutathione and related enzymes before and after dialysis of 36 patients (20 M/16 F) with chronic renal failure (CRF). 25 healthy person (15 M/10F) served as controls. Erythrocyte reduced glutathione (GSH) concentrations, glucose -6- phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities and plasma GPX activities were significantly decreased in patients (p

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

In this study, we have evaluated the prevalence of RF and anti-n-DNA in dif-ferent age subpopulations grouped according to their clinical status. RF and anti-n-DNA were measured in the serum of 51 elderly people considered to be successfully aging (group 1), 65 chronically ill elderly (group 2), 65 chronically ill patients under 65 years (group 3) and 30 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (group 4). The results were compared to 100 healthy persons as a control group under 65 years. The prevalences of RF in group 1, group 2 and group 3 were significantly higher than the healthy younger controls. Particularly …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

The lack of a rapid and reliable method for diagnosis of active tuberculosis necessitated the development of new laboratory techniques. Diagnostic value of a re-cently developed ELISA for the detection of lgA antibodies to Kp 90 antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was evaluated in this study and the results were compared with the conventional methods and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Fifty six sera and body fluid (pleural, peritoneal, pericardial) samples from 23 patients with ac-tive tuberculosis and 26 control subjects were included in the study. Out of 28 samples obtained from the patients, 22 (79%) yielded positive result for lgA. Comparison …
