| 1 | Evaluation of diagnostic findings and scoring systems in outcome prediction in acute pancreatitis显示文摘AIM: To determine factors related to disease severity, mortality and morbidity in acute pancreatitis. METHODS: One hundred and ninety-nine consecutive patients were admitted with the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (AP) in a 5-year period (1998-2002). In a prospective design, demographic data, etiology, mean hospital admission time, clinical, radiological, biochemical findings, treatment modalities, mortality and morbidity were recorded. Endocrine insuffi ciency was investigated with oral glucose tolerance test. The relations between these parameters, scoring systems (Ranson, Imrie and APACHE Ⅱ) and patients' outcome were determined by using invariable tests and the receiver operating characteristics curve. RESULTS: One hundred patients were men and 99 were women; the mean age was 55 years. Biliary pancreatitis was the most common form, followed by idiopathic pancreatitis (53/ and 26/, respectively). Sixty-three patients had severe pancreatitis and 136 had mild disease. Respiratory rate > 20/min, pulse rate > 90/min, increased C-reactive protein (CRP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, organ necrosis > 30/ on computed tomography (CT) and leukocytosis were associated with severe disease. The rate of glucose intolerance, morbidity and mortality were 24.1/, 24.8/ and 13.6/, respectively. CRP > 142 mg/L, BUN > 22 mg/dL, LDH > 667 U/L, base excess > -5, CT severity index > 3 and APACHE score > 8 were related to morbidity and mortality. CONCLUSION: APACHE Ⅱ score, LDH, base excess and CT severity index have prognostic value and CRP is a reliable marker for predicting both mortality and morbidity. | Ekrem Kaya Adem Dervi■o■lu Cafer Polat | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,22: | 64 |
| 2 | Current status of diagnosis and treatment of hepatic echinococcosis显示文摘Echinococcus granulosus(E.granulosus) and Echinococcus multilocularis(E.multilocularis) infections are the most common parasitic diseases that affect the liver.The disease course is typically slow and the patients tend to remain asymptomatic for many years.Often the diagnosis is incidental.Right upper quadrant abdominal pain,hepatitis,cholangitis,and anaphylaxis due to dissemination of the cyst are the main presenting symptoms.Ultrasonography is important in diagnosis.The World Health Organization classification,based on ultrasonographic findings,is used for staging of the disease and treatment selection.In addition to the imaging methods,immunological investigations are used to support the diagnosis.The available treatment options for E.granulosus infection include open surgery,percutaneous interventions,and pharmacotherapy.Aggressive surgery is the first-choice treatment for E.multilocularis infection,while pharmacotherapy is used as an adjunct to surgery.Due to a paucity of clinical studies,empirical evidence on the treatment of E.granulosus and E.multilocularis infections is largely lacking;there are no prominent and widely accepted clinical algorithms yet.In this article,we review the diagnosis and treatment of E.granulosus and E.multilocularis infections in the light of recent evidence. | Memmet Mihmanli Ufuk Oguz Idiz Cemal Kaya Uygar Demir Ozgur Bostanci Sinan Omeroglu Emre Bozkurt | 2016 | World Journal of Hepatology2016,8,28: | 50 |
| 3 | Efficacy and safety of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in pregnancy for the prevention of vertical transmission of HBV infection显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the effects of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF)use during late pregnancy to reduce hepatitis B virus(HBV)transmission in highly viremic mothers.METHODS:This retrospective study included 45 pregnant patients with hepatitis B e antigen(+)chronic hepatitis B and HBV DNA levels>107copies/mL who received TDF 300 mg/d from week 18 to 27 of gestation(n=21).Untreated pregnant patients served as controls(n =24).All infants received 200 IU of hepatitis B immune globulin(HBIG)within 24 h postpartum and 20μg of recombinant HBV vaccine at 4,8,and 24 wk.Perinatal transmission rate was determined by hepatitis B surface antigen and HBV DNA results in infants at week 28.RESULTS:At week 28,none of the infants of TDFtreated mothers had immunoprophylaxis failure,whereas2(8.3%)of the infants of control mothers had immunoprophylaxis failure(P=0.022).There were no differences between the groups in terms of adverse events in mothers or congenital deformities,gestational age,height,or weight in infants.At postpartum week 28,significantly more TDF-treated mothers had levels of HBV DNA<250 copies/mL and normalized alanine aminotransferase compared with controls(62%vs none,P<0.001;82%vs 61%,P=0.012,respectively).CONCLUSION:TDF therapy during the second or third trimester reduced perinatal transmission rates of HBV and no adverse events were observed in mothers or infants. | Mustafa Kemal Celen Duygu Mert Müzeyyen Ay Tuba Dal Safak Kaya Necmettin Yildirim Serda Gulsun Tunga Barcin Sevgi Kalkanli Mehmet Sinan Dal Celal Ayaz | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,48: | 26 |
| 4 | Long-term success of ahmed glaucoma valve in refractory glaucoma显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the long-term results and complications of ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation in refractory glaucoma.· METHODS:A retrospective review of 13 patients (13 eyes) with refractory glaucoma who underwent AGV implantation and had a minimum follow-up of 18 months was performed.All patients underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination and intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement before surgery and at 1 month,3 months,6 months,1 year after surgery and yearly afterwards.Complications and the number of antiglaucoma medications needed were recorded.· RESULTS:Mean age was 27.3±16.0 years.All eyes (100%) had at least one prior incisional surgery.Mean follow-up was 61.3±30.8 months.IOP was reduced from a mean of 35.0±7.0mmHg to 18.2±7.9mmHg at 12 months and to 17.0±4.1mmHg at 96 months (P <0.05) with a lower number of medications from baseline,76.9% patients required additional procedures to achieve the success criteria set by previously published series.The most common complications were encapculated cyst formation in eight eyes (61.5%) and tube exposure in four eyes (30.8%).· CONCLUSION:Encapsulated cyst formation was the most common complication which hindered succesful IOP control after AGV implant insertion for refractory glaucoma.Despite cyst excision with anti-fibrotic agents,successful IOP reduction was not achieved in 76.9% of the patients without antiglaucoma medication. | Mahmut Kaya Zeynep Ozbek Aylin Yaman Ismet Durak | 2012 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2012,5,1: | 15 |
| 5 | Microbial profile and antibiotic sensitivity pattern in bile cultures from endoscopic retrograde cholangiography patients显示文摘AIM:To identify the frequency of bacterial growth,the most commonly grown bacteria and their antibiotic susceptibility,and risk factors for bacterial colonization in bile collected from patients with different biliary diseases.METHODS:This prospective study was conducted between April 2010 and August 2011.Patients with various biliary disorders were included.Bile was aspirated by placing a single-use,5F,standard sphincterotome catheter into the bile duct before the injection of contrast agent during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP).Bile specimens were transported to the microbiology laboratory in blood culture bottles within an anaerobic transport system.Bacteria were cultured and identified according to the standard protocol used in our clinical microbiology laboratory.The susceptibilities of the organisms recovered were identified using antimicrobial disks,chosen according to the initial gram stain of the positive cultures.RESULTS:Ninety-one patients (27% male,mean age 53.7 ± 17.5 years,range:17-86 years) were included in the study.The main indication for ERCP was benign biliary disease in 79 patients and malignant disease in 12 patients.The bile culture was positive for bacterial growth in 46 out of 91 (50.5%) patients.The most frequently encountered organisms were Gram-negative bacteria including Escherichia coli (28.2%),Pseudomonas (17.3%) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (15.2%).There were no significant differences between patients with malignant and benign disease (58% vs 49%,P = 0.474),patients with acute cholangitis and without acute cholangitis (52.9% vs 50%,P = 0.827),patients who were empirically administered antibiotics before intervention and not administered (51.4% vs 60.7%,P = 0.384),with regard to the bacteriobilia.We observed a large covering spectrum or low resistance to meropenem,amikacin and imipenem.CONCLUSION:We did not find a significant risk factor for bacteriobilia in patients with biliary obstruction.A bile sample for microbiological analysis may become a valuable diagnostic tool as it leads to more accurate selection of antibiotics for the treatment of cholangitis. | Muhsin Kaya Remzi Bestas Fatma Bacalan Ferhat Bacaksz Esma Gülsun Arslan Mehmet Ali Kaplan | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,27: | 13 |
| 6 | Tumors of the spine显示文摘Spine tumors comprise a small percentage of reasons for back pain and other symptoms originating in the spine.The majority of the tumors involving the spinal column are metastases of visceral organ cancers which are mostly seen in older patients.Primary musculoskeletal system sarcomas involving the spinal column are rare.Benign tumors and tumor-like lesions of the musculoskeletal system are mostly seen in young patients and often cause instability and canal compromise.Optimal diagnosis and treatment of spine tumors require a multidisciplinary approach and thorough knowledge of both spine surgery and musculoskeletal tumor surgery.Either primary or metastatic tumors involving the spine are demanding problems in terms of diagnosis and treatment.Spinal instability and neurological compromise are the main and critical problems in patients with tumors of the spinal column.In the past,only a few treatment options aiming short-term control were available for treatment of primary and metastatic spine tumors.Spine surgeons adapted their approach for spine tumors according to orthopaedic oncologic principles in the last 20 years.Advances in imaging,surgical techniques and implant technology resulted in better diagnosis and surgical treatment options,especially for primary tumors.Also,modern chemotherapy drugs and regimens with new radiotherapy and radiosurgery options caused moderate to long-term local and systemic control for even primary sarcomas involving the spinal column. | Mert Ciftdemir Murat Kaya Esref Selcuk Erol Yalniz | 2016 | World Journal of Orthopedics2016,7,2: | 13 |
| 7 | Effects of disease severity and necrosis on pancreatic dysfunction after acute pancreatitis显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the effects of disease severity and necrosis on organ dysfunctions in acute pancreatitis(AP).METHODS:One hundred and nine patients treated as AP between March 2003 and September 2007 with at least 6 mo follow-up were included.Patients were classified according to severity of the disease,necrosis ratio and localization.Subjective clinical evaluation and fecal pancreatic elastase-Ⅰ(FPE-Ⅰ)were used for exocrine dysfunction evaluation,and oral glucose tolerance test was completed for endocrine dysfunction.The correlation of disease severity,necrosis ratio and localization with exocrine and endocrine dysfunction were investigated.RESULTS:There were 58 male and 51 female patients,and mean age was 56.5±15.7.Of the patients,35.8%had severe AP(SAP)and 27.5%had pancreatic necrosis.Exocrine dysfunction was identified in 13.7%of the patients[17.9%were in SAP,11.4%were in mild AP(MAP)]and 34.7%of all of the patients had endocrine dysfunction(56.4%in SAP and 23.2%in MAP).In patients with SAP and necrotizing AP(NAP),FPE-Ⅰlevels were lower than the others(P<0.05 and0.001 respectively)and in patients having pancreatic head necrosis or near total necrosis,FPE-1 levels were lower than 200μg/g stool.Forty percent of the patients who had undergone necrosectomy developed exocrine dysfunction.Endocrine dysfunction was more significant in patients with SAP and NAP(P<0.001).All of the patients in the necrosectomy group had endocrine dysfunction.CONCLUSION:Patients with SAP,NAP,pancreatic head necrosis and necrosectomy should be followed for pancreatic functions. | Gokhan Garip Emre Sarandl Ekrem Kaya | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,44: | 12 |
| 8 | 蒸发毛细弯液面热质传输特征及其稳定性分析显示文摘在基于增广杨拉普拉斯方程及Wayner界面传质方程的蒸发毛细弯液面薄膜区热质传输模型的基础上,利用数值计算分析方法,讨论了系统运行参数、几何参数、工质物性参数对界面热质传输能力和稳定性的影响.结果表明:高过热度和高弯液面温度下,弯液面具有较强的热传输能力,但稳定性下降;毛细通道几何参数对界面热质传输的影响较小,而选择不同的工质其界面热质传输特征会有较大差异.相对而言,高热质传输能力对应了较低的界面稳定性,故在毛细抽吸两相回路的设计中需综合考虑二者的关系. | 黄晓明 TARIK Kaya | 2010 | 西安交通大学学报2010,44,3: | 11 |

| 10 | Osteocyte dysfunction promotes osteoarthritis through MMP13-dependent suppression of subchondral bone homeostasis显示文摘Osteoarthritis(OA),long considered a primary disorder of articular cartilage,is commonly associated with subchondral bone sclerosis.However,the cellular mechanisms responsible for changes to subchondral bone in OA,and the extent to which these changes are drivers of or a secondary reaction to cartilage degeneration,remain unclear.In knee joints from human patients with end-stage OA,we found evidence of profound defects in osteocyte function.Suppression of osteocyte perilacunar/canalicular remodeling(PLR)was most severe in the medial compartment of OA subchondral bone,with lower protease expression,diminished canalicular networks,and disorganized and hypermineralized extracellular matrix.As a step toward evaluating the causality of PLR suppression in OA,we ablated the PLR enzyme MMP13 in osteocytes while leaving chondrocytic MMP13 intact,using Cre recombinase driven by the 9.6-kb DMP1 promoter.Not only did osteocytic MMP13 deficiency suppress PLR in cortical and subchondral bone,but it also compromised cartilage.Even in the absence of injury,osteocytic MMP13 deficiency was sufficient to reduce cartilage proteoglycan content,change chondrocyte production of collagen II,aggrecan,and MMP13,and increase the incidence of cartilage lesions,consistent with early OA.Thus,in humans and mice,defects in PLR coincide with cartilage defects.Osteocyte-derived MMP13 emerges as a critical regulator of cartilage homeostasis,likely via its effects on PLR.Together,these findings implicate osteocytes in bone-cartilage crosstalk in the joint and suggest a causal role for suppressed perilacunar/canalicular remodeling in osteoarthritis. | Courtney MMazur Jonathon JWoo Cristal SYee Aaron JFields Claire Acevedo Karsyn NBailey Serra Kaya Tristan WFowler Jeffrey CLotz Alexis Dang Alfred CKuo Thomas PVail Tamara Alliston | 2019 | Bone Research2019,7,4: | 10 |
| 11 | Use of Atomic Absorption Spectrometry in Assessment of Biomonitor Plants for Lead,Cadmium and Copper Pollution显示文摘Eleven plant species were collected from the vicinity of lead-battery plant in the city of Gaziantep,Turkey.Lead,cadmium and copper concentrations in the soil and leaves of plants were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry.Lead,Cd and Cu concentrations in the soil samples taken from battery area were found to be in the ranges of 304~602,0.4~0.44 and 31~37 mg·kg-1,respectively.Significantly increased lead concentration up to 2 750 mg·kg-1 was found in the leaves of Eleagnus angustifolia L.plant.The lead concentrations in the other plant leaves taken from 50 m around battery factory followed the order Ailanthus altissima>Morus sp.>Juglans regia L.>Ficus carica L.>Cydonia oblonga Miller>Prunus x domestica L.The plants,Populus nigra L.,Eleagnus angustifolia L.and Salix sp.were found useful for Cd,and the plant,Eleagnus angustifolia L.for Pb,to be considered as potential biomonitor.Especially,leaves of trees and plants taken from the distance of 50 m from battery plant have relatively higher Pb concentrations.Therefore,people who and animals which live in this area and benefit from these soil and plants have vital risks. | Gokce Kaya Mehmet Yaman | 2012 | 光谱学与光谱分析2012,32,1: | 9 |
| 12 | N-acetylcysteine attenuates alcohol-induced oxidative stess in rats显示文摘AIM: To investigate free-radical scavenger effect of nacetylcysteine in rats intragastrically fed with ethanol.METHODS: Twenty-four rats divided into three groups were fed with ethanol (6 g/kg/day, Group 1), ethanol and nacetylcysteine (1 g/kg, Group 2), or isocaloric dextrose (control group, Group 3) for 4 weeks. Then animals were sacrificed under ether anesthesia, and intracardiac blood and liver tissues were obtained. Measurements were made in both serum and homogenized liver tissues.Malondialdehyde (MDA) level was measured by TBARS method. Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were studied by commercial kits.Kruskal-Wallis test was used for statistical analysis.RESULTS: ALT and AST in Group 1 (154 U/L and 302 U/L,respectively) were higher than those in Group 2 (94 U/L and 155 U/L) and Group 3 (99 U/L and 168 U/L) (P=0.001for both). Serum and tissue levels of MDA in Group 1 (1.84nmol/mL and 96 nmol/100 mg-protein) were higher than that in Group 2 (0.91 nmol/mL and 64 nmol/100 mg protein)and Group 3 (0.94 nmol/mL and 49 nmol/100 mg-protein)(P<0.001 for both). On the other hand, serum GSH-Px level in Group 1 (8.21 U/g Hb) was lower than that in Group 2(16 U/g Hb) and Group 3 (16 U/g-Hb) (P<0.001). Serum and liver tissue levels of SOD in Group 1 (11 U/mL and 26U/100 mg-protein) were lower than that in Group 2 (18 U/mL and 60 U/100 mg protein) and Group 3 (20 U/mL and 60 U/100 mg-protein) (P<0.001 for both).CONCLUSION: Ethanol-induced liver damage was associated with oxidative stress, and co-administration of n-acetylcysteine attenuates this damage effectively in rat model. | Resat Ozaras Veysel Tahan Seval Aydin Hafize Uzun Safiye Kaya Hakan Senturk | 2003 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2003,9,4: | 9 |
| 13 | Metabolic-associated Fatty Liver Disease(MAFLD):A Multi-systemic Disease Beyond the Liver显示文摘Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)is a multisystemic clinical condition that presents with a wide spectrum of extrahepatic manifestations,such as obesity,type 2 diabetes mellitus,metabolic syndrome,cardiovascular diseases,chronic kidney disease,extrahepatic malignancies,cogni-tive disorders,and polycystic ovarian syndrome.Among NAFLD patients,the most common mortality etiology is cardiovascular disorders,followed by extrahepatic malignancies,diabetes mellitus,and liver-related complications.Furthermore,the severity of extrahepatic diseases is parallel to the severity of NAFLD.In clinical practice,awareness of the associations of concomitant diseases is of major importance for initiating prompt and timely screening and multidisciplinary management of the disease spectrum.In 2020,a consensus from 22 countries redefined the disease as metabolic(dysfunction)-associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD),which resulted in the redefinition of the corre-sponding population.Although the patients diagnosed with MAFLD and NAFLD mostly overlap,the MAFLD and NAFLD populations are not identical.In this review,we compared the associations of key extrahepatic diseases between NAFLD and MAFLD. | Eda Kaya Yusuf Yilmaz | 2022 | Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology2022,10,2: | 8 |
| 14 | Interaction between seed size and NaCl on germination and early seedling growth of some Turkish cultivars of chickpea(Cicer arietinum L.)显示文摘Chickpea is an important food legume crop of Turkey and is largely grown for human consumption on low moisture or salt-affected soils. The objective of the study was to find the effects of NaCl stress at electrical conductivities of 4.5,8.6,12.7 and 16.3 dS/m and seed sizes(7,8 and 9 mm) on germination and early seedling growth of three popular chickpea cultivars(AKN-97,Gokce and Uzunlu-99). Mean frequency of germination,germination time,germination index,root length,shoot length and seedling fresh weight showed seed size-dependent responses of cultivars to salt stress. In general,small seeds germinated and grew more rapidly compared to medium and large seeds of the same cultivars against all levels of salt stress,with the best results in cultivar Uzunlu-99. No effect of NaCl treatments was observed on frequency of germination;however,a drastic decrease in early seedling growth was recorded at increased NaCl concentrations. Regression analysis results showed a significantly positive rela-tionship(P<0.01) between seed size and mean germination time,whereas a significantly negative relationship was recorded between seed size and germination index,root length,shoot length. Moreover,linear regression values apparently confirmed that increased seed size in each cultivar affected decreased germination index,root and shoot lengths with enhanced mean germination time. Thus,it was concluded that the use of small seeds could considerably reduce the production costs of chickpea in salt-affected soils. | Muharrem KAYA Gamze KAYA Mehmet Demir KAYA Mehmet ATAK Sevil SAGLAM Khalid Mahmood KHAWAR Cemalettin Yasar CIFTCI | 2008 | Journal of Zhejiang University-Science B(Biomedicine & Biotechnology)2008,9,5: | 8 |

| 16 | Surface-enhanced Raman scattering on dielectric microspheres with whispering gallery mode resonance显示文摘Conventionally, metallic nanostructures are used for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS), but recently there has been increasing interest in the enhancement of Raman scattering from dielectric substrates due to their improved stability and biocompatibility compared with metallic substrates. Here, we report the observation of enhanced Raman scattering from rhodamine 6 G molecules coated on silica microspheres. We excite the whispering gallery modes(WGMs) supported in the microspheres with a tapered fiber coupler for efficient WGM excitation, and the Raman enhancement can be attributed to the WGM mechanism. Strong resonance enhancement in pump laser intensity and modified Raman emission from the Purcell effect in the microsphere resonator are observed from the experiment and compared with theoretical results. A total Raman enhancement factor of 1.4 × 10~4 is observed, with contribution mostly from the enhancement in pump laser intensity. Our results show that, with an efficient pumping scheme, dielectric microspheres are a viable alternative to metallic SERS substrates. | STEVEN H.HUANG XUEFENG JIANG Bo PENG COREY JANISCH ALEXANDER COCKING SAHIN KAYA OZDEMIR ZHIWEN LIU LAN YANG | 2018 | Photonics Research2018,6,5: | 7 |
| 17 | Geotechnical investigations and remediation design for failure of tunnel portal section: a case study in northern Turkey显示文摘Mass movements are very common problems in the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey due to its climate conditions, geological, and geomorphological characteristics. High slope angle, weathering, dense rainfalls, and anthropogenic impacts are generally reported as the most important triggering factors in the region. Following the portal slope excavations in the entrance section of Cankurtaran tunnel, located in the region, where the highly weathered andesitic tuff crops out, a circular toe failure occurred. The main target of the present study is to investigate the causes and occurrence mechanism of this failure and to determine the feasible remedial measures against it using finite element method(FEM) in four stages. These stages are slope stability analyses for pre-and postexcavation cases, and remediation design assessments for slope and tunnel. The results of the FEM-SSR analyses indicated that the insufficient initial support design and weathering of the andesitic tuffs are the main factors that caused the portal failure. After installing a rock retaining wall with jet grout columns and reinforced slope benching applications, the factor of safety increased from 0.83 to 2.80. In addition toslope stability evaluation, the Rock Mass Rating(RMR), Rock Mass Quality(Q) and New Austrian Tunneling Method(NATM) systems were also utilized as empirical methods to characterize the tunnel ground and to determine the tunnel support design. The performance of the suggested empirical support design, induced stress distributions and deformations were analyzed by means of numerical modelling. Finally, it was concluded that the recommended stabilization technique was essential for the dynamic long-term stability and prevents the effects of failure. Additionally, the FEM method gives useful and reasonably reliable results in evaluating the stability of cut slopes and tunnels excavated both in continuous and discontinuous rock masses. | Ayberk KAYA Kadir KARAMAN Fikri BULUT | 2017 | Journal of Mountain Science2017,14,6: | 7 |
| 18 | Effect of acupuncture therapy on fracture healing in rats with femur fractures显示文摘OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of acupuncture therapy on fracture healing in rats with femur fractures.METHODS: A total of 10 groups were formed;control group, groups sacrificed on 7 th, 14 th, and 21 st days of fracture formation, groups to which acupuncture was applied for 7, 14, and 21 d, groups to which fracture and acupuncture were applied for 7,14, and 21 d. A transverse fracture line was formed in femurs of rats by using a Gigli saw. The Kirschner wire was driven retrograde down from the fracture line to proximal part of the bone and then, the fracture was fixed towards distal part. Acupuncture was applied to the rats for 7, 14, and 21 d as 4 sessions per week after formation of the fracture.RESULTS: Malondialdehyde(MDA), reduced glutathione(GSH) levels, catalase(CAT), glutathione-Stransferase(GST), superoxide dismutase(SOD), and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G6 PD) activities were measured. Despite the increased MDA levels, G6 PD and SOD activities reduced during the fracture healing. There was a statistically significant increase in MDA, GSH levels, and G6 PD activity in fracture groups compared to control group, but CAT, GST, and SOD activities decreased. The use of acupuncture enhanced callus development and bone mineralization during bone healing.CONCLUSION: The acupuncture therapy can affect suppression of the effects of free oxygen radicals and regulation of the antioxidant enzyme activity in fracture healing. Thus, it is suggested that acupuncture treatment would be beneficial for fracture healing in order to eliminate the negative effects induced by oxygen free radicals. | Seval Yilmaz Emre Kaya Erhan Yilmaz Ahmet Kavakli Suleyman Gurbuz Mustafa Ozkaraca | 2020 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2020,40,2: | 6 |
| 19 | Clinical presentation and management of Fasciola hepatica infection:Single-center experience显示文摘AIM:To identify the characteristic clinical,laboratory and radiological findings and response to treatment in patients with fascioliasis.METHODS:Patients who were diagnosed with Fasciola hepatica infection were included in this prospective study.Initial clinical,laboratory and radiological findings were recorded.All patients were followed until a complete response was achieved or for 6 mo after treatment discontinuation.RESULTS:Fasciola hepatica infection was diagnosed in 30 patients(24 females;mean age:42.6 years) between January 2008 and February 2011.Twentytwo(73%) patients had hepatic phase fascioliasis,5 patients had biliary phase,and 3 patients had biliary phase associated with acute pancreatitis.Of the 8 patients with biliary phase fascioliasis,2 patients displayed features that overlapped with both hepatic and biliary phase.Abdominal pain and right upper abdominal tenderness were the most prominent signs and symptoms in all patients.Eosinophilia was the most prominent laboratory abnormality in both patients with hepatic and biliary phase(100% and 50%,respectively).Multiple nodular lesions like micro-abscesses on abdominal computerized tomography were the main radiological findings in patients with hepatic phase.Small linear filling defects in the distal choledochus were the main endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) findings in patients with biliary phase.Patients with hepatic phase were treated with triclabendazole alone,and patients with biliary phase were treated with triclabendazole and had live Fasciola hepatica extracted from the bile ducts during ERCP.CONCLUSION:Fasciola hepatica infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with hepatic or biliary disease and/or acute pancreatitis associated with eosinophilia. | Muhsin Kaya Remzi Bestas Sedat Cetin | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,44: | 6 |
| 20 | Raman lasing and Fano lineshapes in a packaged fiber-coupled whispering-gallery-mode microresonator显示文摘We report Raman lasing and the optical analog of electromagnetically-induced-transparency(EIT) in a whispering-gallery-mode(WGM) microtoroid resonator embedded in a low refractive index polymer matrix together with a tapered fiber coupler. The microtoroid resonator supports both single mode and multimode Raman lasing with low power thresholds. Observations of Fano and EIT-like phenomena in a packaged microresonator will enable high resolution sensors and can be used in networks where slow-light effect is needed. These results will open up new possibilities for portable, robust, and stable WGM microlasers and resonator-based sensors for applications in various environments. | Guangming Zhao Sahin Kaya Ozdemir Tao Wang Linhua Xu Eshan King Gui-Lu Long Lan Yang | 2017 | Science Bulletin2017,62,12: | 6 |
