Öğe Histopathological efficiency of amifostine in radiation-induced heart disease in rats(Comenius Univ, 2018) Gurses, I; Ozeren, M.; Serin, M.; Yucel, N.; Erkal, H. S.OBJECTIVE: Amifositine is a phosphorylated thiol that holds its radioprotective actions by several indirect mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate histopathologically whether amifositine administration prior to irradiation would have a long-term protective effect on heart tissue in an experimental rat model. METHODS: Single dose of 18 Gy radiation and sham radiation exposure were used in related groups. A dose of 200 mg/kg of amifostine was injected intraperitoneally 30 min prior to radiation exposure. Analyses were performed 6 months after irradiation. RESULTS: Vascular damage and vasculitis were significantly decreased in amifositine treatment group. At the same time, significant thickening of the medial layer was accompanied by vascular damage in irradiated groups. The number and severity of myocyte necrosis were diminished with amifostine. Nevertheless, it could not prevent epicardial and myocardial fibrosis. Severe myocardial fibrosis was observed prominently in three regions, particularly on the apex, tips of papillary muscles and in sites adjacent to the atrioventricular valves. The anti-inflammatory effect of amifostine was not seen. CONCLUSION: The development of vascular damage and vasculitis were prevented by the use of amifostine. There was a correlation between vascular damage and fibrosis development. According to histopathological results, amifostine could be used as a protective agent against the side effects of radiotherapy (Tab. 4, Fig. 2, Ref. 22).Öğe Histopathological efficiency of amifostine in radiation-induced heart disease in rats(Comenıus unıv, sch medıcıne, spıtalska 24, bratıslava ı, sk-813 72, slovakıa, 2018) Gurses, I; Ozeren, M; Serin, M.; Yücel, N; Erkal, HSOBJECTIVE: Amifositine is a phosphorylated thiol that holds its radioprotective actions by several indirect mechanisms.

Thirty-two New Zealand rabbits were divided into four groups: group 1, false electrode group; group 2, hole group; group 3, control group; and group 4, intramedullary electrical stimulation group. One-half of the rabbits in each group were evaluated angiographically, pathologically, and scintigraphically on day 7, and the rest were evaluated on day 21. Results proved that electrical stimulation was not capable of the induction of angiogenesis in the subjects killed on day 7 and day 21. Furthermore, we found some fibrotic changes secondary to electrical stimulation on day 7 ( P = 0.04) and day 21 ( P = 0.01). However, an increase in new capillary vessels occurred in the false electrode group ( P = 0.02). We found no useful effect of electrical stimulation in our study, a finding that is possibly due to our use of a method previously undocumented in the literature. We believe that this study can be the new baseline for further studies into the stimulation or inhibition of angiogenesis using intramedullary wire with or without electrical stimulation.Öğe The mechanical or electrical induction of medullary angiogenesis - Will it improve sternal wound healing?(Texas Heart Inst, 2004) Alat, I; Inan, M; Gurses, I; Kekilli, E; Germen, B; Harma, A; Eskin, AWe induced angiogenesis in the tibial medulla and cortex of rabbits by electrical and mechanical stimulation, with the aim of future application to ischemic disease. Sixteen New Zealand rabbits were divided into 4 groups: in Group 1, a wire was inserted into the medullary channel; in Group 2 a hole was drilled into the tibia; in Group 3, electrical stimulation was applied to the medullary channel; and in Group 4 (the control group), nothing was done. The interventions were applied during a 21-day period, after which all animals were evaluated scintigraphically and histopathologically. All 3 interventional groups were significantly superior to the control group in regard to medullary and cortical vascularity: the P values were 0.021 in all comparisons to control. However the most fibrotic changes in the medulla occurred in the group that had been treated with electricity (P=0.008). Slight fibrotic changes occurred in the hole group (P=0.040), and none occurred in the K-wire group. In sum, all 3 interventions are capable of inducing medullary angiogenesis, but electricity is inferior in regard to fibrotic change. We believe that this present study can establish a baseline for further work that explores clinical applications to problematic ischemic conditions, including delayed sternal wound healing after cardiac surgery.Öğe A newborn infant with infantile spinal muscular atrophy associated with trisomy 21 and congenital hypothyroidism(Medecine Et Hygiene, 2005) Gulcan, H; Uzum, I; Dayangac, D; Gurses, I[Abstract Not Available]
