    A comprehensive analysis of 12 thrombophilic mutations and related parameters in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
    (Springer, 2006) Yilmaz, Serif; Bayan, Kadim; Tuezuen, Yekta; Batun, Sabri; Altintas, Abdullah
    Background Possible association of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with the most common inherited prothrombotic conditions has been the focus of many investigations. Advance in modern molecular biology is expanding the thrombophilia evaluation steadily. We tried to put forward a comprehensive thrombophilic profile in IBD and to see the probable role of this profile in pathogenesis. Methods A total of 60 adults (33 patients and 27 healthy controls) were included. We used the CVD-StripAssay which is based on the reverse-hybridization principle to identify a total of 12 thrombophilic gene mutations: Factor V R506Q, Factor V H1299R, prothrombin G20210A, Factor XIII V34L, beta-Fibrinogen-455 G-A, PAI-1 4G/5G, platelet GPIIIa L33P, MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298C, ACE I/D, Apo B R3500Q and Apo E2/E3/E4, respectively. Besides, we evaluated many related blood parameters such as protein C, protein S, AT-III, IL-6, TNF-alpha, Apo-A1, Apo-B100, homocysteine (tHcy) etc. using commercially available assays. Results The frequencies of genetic polymorphisms were found to be statistically insignificant among patients and controls, except for three: Beta-Fibrinogen-455G-A, MTHFR A1298C and ACE-I/D. Two patients with a history of deep venous thrombosis had more than one polymorphism. Patients with MTHFR C677T and MTHFR A1298C gene mutations had a similar mean tHcy levels with controls. Patients with Apolipoprotein B R3500Q and Apolipoprotein E4 gene mutations had similar mean LDL-cholesterol levels. Mean total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were similar in patients and controls of Apo E2, E3, E4 alleles. Conclusion Predominantly, the presence of genetic mutations that predispose to hypercoagulable states does not appear to be in correlation with IBD. There was a statistical difference between the proportions of the mutated allele frequencies of Beta-Fibrinogen-455G-A, MTHFR A1298C and ACE-I/D in IBD.

    The prevalence of primary and secondary Helicobacter pylori resistance to clarithromycin and probable contributing cofactors
    (H G E Update Medical Publishing S A, 2008) Tuezuen, Yekta; Bayan, Kadim; Yilmaz, Serif; Dursun, Mehmet; Ozekinci, Tuncer
    Background/Aims: Antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pytori is the most important reason for failure in its eradication. We aimed to determine the prevalence of primary and secondary H. pylori resistance to clarithromycin in isolated H. pylori from dyspeptic patients in southeastern Anatolia and to evaluate the cofactors affecting this clinical problem. Methodology: The study involved adult patients who had already been diagnosed with symptomatic H. pylori infection based on rapid urease test, gastric histopathological examination and culture. H. pylori strains were isolated from antral biopsies taken during upper endoscopy in 142 dyspeptic patients with no previous therapy against the microorganism. MICs of clarithromycin were determined by E-test. Patients were treated for 14 days with standard triple-agent protocol. H. pylori eradication rate was assessed after 8 weeks. Each patient was re-interviewed to determine secondary resistance. Primary clarithromycin resistance was defined as pre-treatment resistance, while secondary as after treatment resistance. Strains were considered resistant to clarithromycin if the MIC 1 mu g/mL. Results: In total 213-105 women and 108 men-patients was enrolled to the study. The mean age was 35.5 +/- 14.1 years. In 142 (66.7%) patients out of the total patients enrolled in the study, H. pylori was detected. H. pylori could be cultured from only 61 (43%) of them. In 16.4% of the cases, primary clarithromycin resistance was noted. After 8 weeks, seventy-seven (54.2%) of the 142 patients were reevaluated. Helicobacter pylori eradication could be achieved in 68.8% of them. The proportion of H. pylori eradication in clarithromycin-sensitive patients was 75.8% and the respective proportion was 10% for resistant cases. In the group where H. pylori was still positive the secondary resistance percentage was found to be 27.2%. Conclusions: The prevalence of primary clarithromycin resistance is relatively high in our geographical area. Secondary resistance rate was 27.2%. None of the criteria of age, gender, presence of endoscopic lesions, detected H. pylori concentration and gastritis activity showed any effect on the primary resistance.

    Pyloric giant Brunner's gland hamartoma as a cause of both duodenojejunal intussusception and obscure gastrointestinal bleeding
    (Aves, 2009) Bayan, Kadim; Tuezuen, Yekta; Yilmaz, Serif; Yilmaz, Guelsen; Bilici, Aslan
    Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding is an important dilemma. Brunner's gland hamartoma is an extremely rare tumor generally localized in the duodenal bulb. We present a 34-year-old woman who had suffered from several episodes of melena for the past three years. Endoscopic examinations were normal. Computed tomography showed a large target lesion over the right abdomen and an image representing intestinal malrotation, which was supported by enteroclysis. At exploratory laparotomy, ligamenturn of Treitz was located in the mid-to-right side of the columna vertebralis, and the duodenal bulb was found to be invaginated into the proximal jejunum. After longitudinal aduodenotomy, a pedunculated ring-shaped large polyp originating from the pyloric ring was seen and excised. Histology was consistent with Brunner's gland hamartoma. This case with obscure bleeding was original with respect to its rarity and being a huge, ring-shaped tumor with pyloric localization. Moreover, the patient had a rare clinical presentation of duodenojejunal intussusception with accompanying intestinal malrotation.
