Öğe An attempt to decrease ammonia levels after portacaval anastomosis in dogs - Hepatic periarterial neurectomy(Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publ, 2002) Yilmaz, S; Kirimlioglu, V; Katz, D; Basak, K; Caglikulekci, M; Kayaalp, C; Yildirim, BHepatic encephalopathy and elevated serum ammonia levels occur commonly after portacaval shunt and are hypothesized to be, in part, due to decreased hepatic blood flow. Prior work has demonstrated increased blood flow to the liver following hepatic periarterial neurectomy. In this experimental study, we investigated the functional, hemodynamic, and histopathological changes in the liver and kidney occurring after the addition of hepatic periarterial neurectomy to side-to-side portacaval shunt in dogs. It is our hypothesis that the addition of hepatic periarterial neurectomy to portacaval shunt will decrease postshunt ammonia levels. Side-to-side portacaval shunt was performed in 12 dogs (group I). Hepatic periarterial neurectomy was added to portacaval shunt in 9 dogs (group II). Serum levels of ammonia, urea, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, albumin, and bilirubin together with hepatic blood flow were determined in both groups preoperatively and on postoperative day 21. The pre- and postoperative histopathologic changes of the liver and kidney were evaluated. There was significantly less postoperative elevation of serum ammonia and aspartate aminotransferase when hepatic periarterial neurectomy was added to the portacaval shunt procedure. Hemodynamic studies of hepatic artery and hepatic tissue indicated better blood flow in group II. The histopathologic evaluation of group II showed expansion of sinusoids, portal vessels, and portal areas and increased portal fibrosis as compared to group I. The results of this experimental study show that adding hepatic periarterial neurectomy to the portacaval shunt procedure improves postoperative serum levels of ammonia and aspartate aminotransferase and hepatic artery and tissue blood flow.Öğe Choledochal cyst spontaneously rupturing the hepatic artery(Springer, 2000) Kirimlioglu, V; Yilmaz, S; Katz, DA; Hilmioglu, F; Caglikulekci, M; Kayaalp, C; Akoglu, M[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Effects of nucleoside analogues on liver regeneration 70% partially hepatectomized rats(Elsevier Science Inc, 2006) Yilmaz, S; Kirimlioglu, V; Kirimlioglu, H; Coban, S; Kayaalp, C; Yilmaz, M; Karakoc, YThe alternatives for prophlaxis and treatment of recurrent hepatitis B virus infection have increased since new oral nucleoside analogues have become available. We conducted this experimental study to investigate the effect in the liver of these agents on the expression of transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) and on proliferation index, estimated by Ki-67. Thirty male Wistar albino rats were randomized into three groups: group A (n = 10) received adefovir dipivoxil (40 mg/kg/d per gavage); group B (n = 10), lamivudine (L; 30 mg/kg/d per gavage); and group C (n = 10) did not receive any treatment and were the control group. Groups A and B were treated for 3 days. Animal treatment began on day -1. After performing 70% partial hepatectomy on day 0, all rats were sacrificed on postoperative day 2 to harvest liver tissues for histopathological examination. We stained and indexed Ki-67 and TGF-alpha immunohistochemically on the hepatectomy surface and in the parenchyma, Ki-67 and TGF-a indices were significantly higher in group A compared with group B (P = .001 and P = .004, respectively, and P = .003 and P = .001, respectively). When the L group was compared with the control group for results on the hepatectomy surface and the parenchyma, Ki-67 and TGF-a indexes were insignificantly different (P = .6 and P = .3, respectively, and P = .1 and P = .6, respectively). Based on the results of this experimental study, we concluded that Adefovir dipivoxil has greater proliferative effect on liver parenchyma and in the cut surface than does lamivudine.Öğe Hypertonic saline in hydatid disease(Springer, 2001) Kayaalp, C; Balkan, M; Aydin, C; Ozgurtas, T; Tanyuksel, M; Kirimlioglu, V; Akoglu, MThe objective of this study was to determine the scolicidal effects of saline in different concentrations using different exposure times and to examine whether hypertonic saline can be used to irrigate the abdomen when there is a free intraperitoneal perforation of hydatid disease. Various concentrations of saline solutions (0.09%, 3.0%, 6.5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%) were added to concentrated echinococcus granulosus sediments for the following times: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. Normal (0.09%), 3.0%, and 6.5% saline resulted in high viability ratios after 60 minutes' exposure. Complete lethality for 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% saline occurred at the end of 75, 10, 6, 3, and 3 minutes, respectively. During the second part of the study, 20 Sprague-Dawley rats were used for abdominal saline irrigation in four groups: 30% NaCl for 3 minutes; 20% NaCl for 6 minutes; intravenous isotonic dextrose water and furosemide plus 30% NaCl irrigation for 3 minutes; the same prophylactic therapy plus 20% NaCl irrigation for 6 minutes. Sodium and chloride values rose significantly (20-30%) shortly after hypertonic saline irrigation in each group (p < 0.01). Support with isotonic dextrose and furosemide before irrigation did not have any beneficial effect on biochemical values or mortality. The 24- and 48-hour mortality rates were 70% and 90%, respectively. These studies illustrate that the scolicidal effect of hypertonic saline is limited in low concentrations, but an increase in the concentration can augment its adverse effects. Peritoneal irrigation with hypertonic saline should be avoided for intraabdominal perforated hydatid disease. Therefore, we concluded that hypertonic saline is not a good scolicidal agent to prevent recurrence of hydatid disease.Öğe Randomised clinical trial of two bypass operations for unresectable cancer of the pancreatic head(Taylor & Francis As, 2001) Yilmaz, S; Kirimlioglu, V; Katz, DA; Kayaalp, C; Caglikulekci, M; Ara, CObjective: To compare two different types of prophylactic gastric bypass in patients with cancer of the pancreatic head who were not suitable for curative resection. Design: Prospective study. Setting: University hospital, Turkey. Subjects: 44 patients with unresectable cancer of the pancreatic head without duodenal obstruction who presented between May 1995 and June 2000 who were randomised into 2 groups. Interventions: 22 patients had an antecolic, isoperistaltic gastrojejunostomy, jejunojejunostomy, and hepaticojejunostomy after cholecystectomy. The remaining 22 had a hepaticojejunostomy and antecolic, antiperistaltic gastrojejunostomy procedure after cholecystectomy. Main outcome measures: Mortality, morbidity, postoperative course, and survival. Results: There were no significant differences between the groups in the incidence of postoperative complications, time until restoration of oral diet, relaparotomy rate, late upper gastrointestinal bleeding, mortality, duration of hospital stay, and survival. The isoperistaltic operation took significantly longer than the antiperistaltic operation (p < 0.001) and there was less delayed gastric emptying in the antiperistaltic group but not significantly so. Both operations caused a significant lengthening in the postoperative gastric emptying time (p = 0.04 and p = 0.01, respectively). Conclusions: Both procedures are suitable for patients with unresectable carcinoma of the pancreatic head without impending duodenal obstruction. There was a trend towards better clinical results with the isoperistaltic procedure.Öğe To the editor - Reply(Springer-Verlag, 2002) Kayaalp, C; Akoglu, M; Balkan, M; Ozgurtas, T; Oner, K; Pekcan, M; Tanyuksel, M[Abstract Not Available]
