Öğe Effect of melatonin against oxidative stress in rat exposed to alcoholic rat heart tissue(Blackwell Publishing, 2006) Karabulut, A.; Sogutlu, G.; Karadag, N.; Cikim, A.; Kiran, T.[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Effects of Calcium Channel Blockers on Trypsinogen Activation and Severity of Cerulein-induced Acute Pancreatitis in Rats(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2018) Uyumlu, A.; Satilmis, B.; Batcioglu, K.; Karadag, N.; Genc, M.Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas associated with high mortality but without a specific therapy. Intrapancreatic protease activation appears to be an early event in the development of acute pancreatitis but its association with pathogenesis has not been established. Recently it has been demonstrated that an enormous rise in the cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels of pancreatic acinar cells could be associated with the development of acute pancreatitis, thereby suggesting that Ca2+ channel could be a potential target for treatment. In this study, the protective effects of calcium channel blockers such as 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, dantrolene and verapamil were investigated in cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in vivo. Rats were divided into five groups. Group 1 (control), group 2 (cerulein, 100 mu g/kg), group 3 (cerulein+2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, mg/kg), group 4 (cerulein+dantrolene, 10 mg/kg) and group 5 (cerulein+verapamil, 2.5 mg/kg). Activities of amylase, lipase, cathepsin B, pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor, trypsin, levels of trypsinogen activation peptide and trypsinogen were measured addition to histological examination of the sections of pancreas. The results showed that cerulein increased the amylase, lipase and trypsin activities and trypsinogen activation peptide levels significantly. Administration of calcium channel blockers significantly protected the pancreas from histological damage (p<0.05). The results of this study demonstrated that calcium channel blockers can mitigate early protease activation and pancreas injury. It was suggested regulation of calcium channels would be relevant to maintain pancreatic acinar cell homeostasis and further research is necessary to understand the protective effects of calcium channel blockers.Öğe Effects of goserelin treatment on microvessel density and blood loss associated with transurethral resection of the prostat(Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine, 2014) Kılıç, Süleyman; Karadag, N.; Ergin, H.; Altunoluk, B.Aim: To determine the effects of one dose goserelin before transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) on blood loss and microvessel density (MVD) of prostatic suburethral tissues in the patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Material and Method: The patients who planned to have a TUR-P were randomly divided into two groups. Group-1 consisted of 18 patients who were pretreated with 3,6 mgr subcutaneous injection of goserelin acetate one month before the operation. Group-2 was constructed from 21 patients without goserelin acetate pretreatment. The amount of intraoperative haemorrhage was calculated. Total blood loss, total blood loss/duration of surgery and total blood loss/gram of resected tissue were calculated for each patient. Sections from the prostatic suburethral tissues were examined for microvessel density. Results: Quantitative decreases in Hb were greater in group 1 than in group 2, and mean Hb level was statistically significantly lower in group 1 than in group 2 at the control just after the operation (p=0.028). Although all the differences were statistically insignificant, Hb concentration in irrigation fluid and total blood loss during surgery were higher in the group 1 than in the group 2, contrarily, blood loss by duration of TURP and blood loss by weight of resected prostate tissue were less in the group 1 than in the group 2. The MVD was significantly lower in group 2 than in the group 1. Discussion: Single dose goserelin treatment given for one month is not effective in reducing blood loss during TURP and has not suppressive effects on MVD in prostatic tissues.Öğe Polyurethane stent obstruction as a cause of recurrent epiphora - Case report(Edizioni Centauro, 2006) Doganay, S.; Sarac, K.; Miman, M. C.; Karadag, N.; Cokkeser, Y.A Song's nasolacrimal duct stent was placed in a patient with epiphora due to primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction and the stent was kept for 32 months. Mitomycin C 0.02% eye drops four times a day were prescribed for four weeks following polyurethane stent placement procedure. No epiphora-related complaints occurred for thirty months after then the epiphora started. Nasolacrimal stent was removed from nasal cavity endoscopially and the tissues within the extruded stent were examined histopathologically. The patient's complaints were relieved following stent removal. Dacryocystogram revealed normal passage and a filling defect within the lacrimal sac. Macroscopic evaluation of the stent revealed a firm mass in the stent mushroom, causing complete obstruction. Pathological examination of the mass revealed chronic inflammation, increased connective tissue and vascular proliferation. Nasolacrimal polyurethane stents can be removed easily by nasal approach. Nasolacrimal passage may be left open temporarily after stent removal. The use of Mitomycin C drop is a novel approach in nasolacrimal stent placement cases. However, when the long-term results of endoscopic and external dacryocystorhinostomy are considered, further research is needed on the biocompatibility of stent material.
