Öğe Chronic hepatitis C infection is associated with increased coronary artery atherosclerozis defined by modified Reardon severity score(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2008) Kacmaz, F.; Alyan, O.; Deveci, B.; Ozdemir, O.; Astan, R.; Celebi, A. S.; Ilkay, E.[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Effects of Tarantula cubensis alcoholic extract and Nerium oleander distillate on experimentally induced colon cancer(Ecole Nationale Veterinaire Toulouse, 2019) Er, A.; Ozdemir, O.; Coskun, D.; Dik, B.; Bahcivan, E.; Faki, H. Eser; Yazar, E.The aim of this research was to determine the effects of Tarantula cubensis alcoholic extract (TCAE) and Nerium oleander distillation (NOD) on the colon aberrant cryptal foci (ACF) score, serum cytokines [Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6, IL-10], prostaglandin E2, and oxidative status parameters (malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase) in an experimentally induced colon cancer model in rats. Male rats (38 in total) were divided into 4 groups: Control group (n = 8), Colon Cancer group (CC, n = 10), CC+TCAE group (n = 10), and CC i NOD group (n = 10). Except for the Control group, the rest of rats received azoxymethane (15 mg/kg, SC) once a week for two weeks to induce colon cancer. TCAE was administered once a week at 0.2 mL/kg (SC) and NOD was administered in water to CC+TCAE and CC+NOD groups for 18 weeks. After blood samples were collected, the rats were euthanized, colons were removed, washed with saline, then fixed with 10% formaldehyde, and stained with 0.2% methylene blue. ACFs were scored by light microscopy. Serum levels of cytokines, prostaglandin E2, and oxidative status parameters were determined with ELISA. ACF score of the CC group was higher than CC+TCAE and CC+NOD groups. The prostaglandin E2 level of the Control group was lower than the CC i TCAE group, while IL-2 and IL-10 levels of the Control group were lower than all other groups. In conclusion, it can be stated that TCAE and NOD applications may be beneficial in the treatment of colon cancer.Öğe The prevalence of Familial Mediterranean Fever common gene mutations in patients with simple febrile seizures(Verduci Publisher, 2014) Ozen, F.; Kocak, N.; Kelekci, S.; Yildirim, I. H.; Hacimuto, G.; Ozdemir, O.BACKGROUND: Febrile seizures (FS) represent the most common form of childhood seizures that occurs in 2-5 % of the children younger than 6 years. There have been many recent reports on the molecular genetic and pathogenesis of FC. It has been recognized that there is significant genetic component for susceptibility of FC with different reported mutation. FEB1, FEB2, FEB4, SCNA1, SCNA2, GABRG2 and IL-1 beta are related to with febrile convulsions (FCs). Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta) is a cytokine that contributes to febrile inflammatory responses. There are conflicting results on increasing this cytokine in serum during FC. AIM: The determine the association between mutations of MEFV gene product pyrine and febrile seizures. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study was carried out on 104 children that were diagnosed as FS and 96 healthy children. MEFV gene mutations were detected and analyzed with Pyro-Mark Q24. PCR was performed using the Pyro-Mark PCR Kit and pyrosequencing reaction was conducted on instrument instructions. RESULTS: M694V is the most common mutation in our patient group and we found a significant association between MEFV gene mutations and FSs. Of 104 patients, 68 were heterozygotes for any mutation and 10 patients were compound. 17.7% of control group were heterozygotes for any studied mutation. Statistical analyses showed that there was strongly significant statistical difference between results obtained from FS and control group (X = 46.20, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: MEFV gene mutations, especially M694V mutation, are positively associated with FSs.
