Öğe Antioxidant properties of propofol and erythropoietin after closed head injury in rats(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2005) Ozturk, E; Demirbilek, S; But, AK; Saricicek, V; Gulec, M; Akyol, O; Ersoy, MOReactive oxygen species play a role during brain injury due to closed head trauma. Enzymatic or nonenzymatic antioxidants may protect brain tissue against oxidative damage. The present study was performed to assess the changes of endogenous indices of oxidative stress in serum from rats subjected to head trauma and whether treatment with propofol and/or erythropoietin (EPO) modifies the levels of endogenous indices of oxidative stress. For these purposes, female Wistar Albino rats were divided into five groups: nontraumatic sham group, trauma performed control, trauma with propofol (i.p.), trauma with EPO (i.p.) and trauma with propofol and EPO performed study groups. At the end of the experimental procedure, blood was taken by cardiac puncture to determine superoxide dismutase (SOD) and xanthine oxidase (XO) activities as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in serum. Serum NIDA level of control traumatic brain injury (TBI) group was significantly higher than sham operation group (p < 0.012). Serum NIDA levels in propofol, EPO and propofol+EPO groups were found to be decreased in comparison with control group (p < 0.039, p < 0.030 and p < 0.018, respectively). Serum NO level was found to be increased in TBI group, but difference was not statistically significant when compared to sham-operated group (p=0.092). Propofol, EPO and propofol+EPO administration efficiently reduced serum NO levels to reach sham-operated group (p < 0.002, p < 0.001 and p < 0.015, respectively). These results suggested that acute administration of both propofol and EPO altered the indices of oxidative stress similarly against brain injury due to trauma. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.

In this study, we evaluated the effects of single-dose dexamethasone on wound healing in a prospective, randomized, experimental animal model. Anesthesia was induced with thiopental 100 mg/kg intraperitoneally. Dexamethasone 1 mg/kg was administered intraperitoneally in a dexamethasone group, and physiological saline was administered in a control group. Collagenization, epithelization, and fibroblast content were significantly less in the dexamethasone group compared with the control group (P values of 0.002, 0.041, and 0.023, respectively). The vascularity and the degree of inflammatory cells were more intense in the dexamethasone group compared with the control group (P values of 0.023 and 0.002, respectively). The white blood cell count was similar in the control (7.84 +/- 2.09) and dexamethasone (6.98 +/- 2.12) groups. The mean hydroxyproline level was 0.72 +/- 0.13 mg/g in the dexamethasone and 1.03 +/- 0.19 mg/g in the control group. Hydroxyproline levels were significantly less in the dexamethasone group (P = 0.001). We conclude that dexamethasone at I mg/kg may have negative effects on wound healing.Öğe Effects of various sodium selenite concentrations on some biochemical and hematological parameters of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)(Parlar Scientific Publications (P S P), 2005) Orun, I; Ates, B; Selamoglu, Z; Yazlak, H; Ozturk, E; Yilmaz, IIn this study the activity of selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase (Se-GSH-Px) and the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MA) of rainbow trouts exposed to various concentrations of selenium were determined. Furthermore, the hematological parameters from blood tissue were studied. Although, Se-GSH-Px activity generally increased in all groups for brain, heart and spleen tissues with respect to the control group, the only statistically significant difference (p<0.05) was found in liver tissues of trouts exposed to 4 and 6 ppm sodium selenite (SS). The SOD levels of spleen, heart, liver and brain tissues of 2 and 4 ppm SS-treated fish were also significantly higher than those of control group animals (p<0.05). The MDA values, an indicator for oxidative damage in the cell, were lower in all tissues with regard to control. Furthermore, the erythrocyte number, hemoglobin amount and hematocrit value of SS-treated rainbow trouts were significantly lower than that of control animals (p<0.05). The results show that SS has an important effect on the antioxidative defense at 2 and 4 ppm levels, whereas a 6 ppm dosage appears to be lethal for rainbow trouts.Öğe Hemodynamic, hepatorenal, and postoperative effects of desflurane-fentanyl and midazolam-fentanyl anesthesia in coronary artery bypass surgery(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2005) But, AK; Durmus, M; Toprak, HI; Ozturk, E; Demirbilek, S; Ersoy, MOObjective: The purpose of this study was to compare the hemodynamic, hepatorenal, and postoperative effects of desflurane-fentanyl and midazolam-fentanyl anesthesia during coronary artery bypass surgery. Design: Prospective study. Setting: University hospital. Participants: Sixty patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting surgery with ejection fraction more than 45%. Interventions: Anesthesia was induced with etomidate, 0.2 mg/kg, and fentanyl, 5 mu g/kg, in group D (n = 30) and with midazolam, 0.1 to 0.3 mg/kg, and fentanyl, 5 mu g/kg, in group M (n = 30). Anesthesia was maintained with desflurane, 2% to 6%, and fentanyl, 15 to 25 mu g/kg, in group D and midazolam infusion, 0.1 to 0.5 mg/kg/h, and fentanyl, 15 to 25 mu g/kg, in group M. Measurements and Main Results: Hemodynamic monitoring included a 5-lead electrocardiogram, a radial artery catheter, and a pulmonary artery catheter. Data were obtained before induction of anesthesia (t(0)), after induction of anesthesia (t(1)), after intubation (t(2)), after surgical incision (t(3)), after sternotomy (t(4)), before cardiopulmonary bypass (t(5)), after protamine infusion (t(6)), and at the end of the surgery (t(7)). Blood samples were obtained to measure total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma glutamyl transferase, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen just before induction of anesthesia and at the first, fourth, and 14th days postoperatively. Conclusions: Intraoperative hemodynamic responses were similar in both groups, and transient hepatic and renal dysfunctions were observed in the postoperative period in both groups. The extubation and intensive care unit discharge times were found to be shorter in the desflurane-fentanyl group. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.

We aimed to investigate whether hyperbaric bupivacaine dose in spinal anaesthesia has any effect on midazolam requirements. Methods: Sixty unpremedicated patients were allocated to three equal groups. Patients in Groups I and II received hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% 10 and 17.5 mg respectively for spinal anaesthesia and Group III was a control group without spinal anaesthesia. In Groups I and II, after the evaluation of sensory block, patients received intravenous midazolam I mg per 30 s until the Ramsay sedation score reached 3 (drowsy but responsive to command). In Group III, general anaesthesia was induced after sedation score had reached 3 using midazolam. The total dose of midazolam (mg kg(-1)) given to each patient, the level of sensory block and complications were recorded. Results: The level of sensory block was higher in Group II (T7) than Group I (T9) (P < 0.01). The doses of midazolam were 0.063 mg kg(-1) in Group I, 0.065 mg kg(-1) in Group II and 0.101 mg kg(-1) in Group III (P < 0.001). There was no correlation between level of sensory block and dose of midazolam in Group I (r = -0.293, P = 0.21) and Group II (r = 0.204, P = 0.39). Conclusions: Different doses of hyperbaric bupivacaine for spinal anaesthesia do not affect the midazolam requirements for sedation. However, spinal anaesthesia with hyperbaric bupivacaine with a maximum spread in the middle thoracic dermatomes may be associated with sedative effects and thus a reduced need for further sedation with midazolam.Öğe The use of magnesium to prevent laryngospasm after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy: a preliminary study(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2003) Gulhas, N; Durmus, M; Demirbilek, S; Togal, T; Ozturk, E; Ersoy, MOBackground : Laryngospasm is the most common cause of upper airway obstruction after tracheal extubation. Magnesium has a central nervous system depressant property, which contributes to the depth of anaesthesia. It also has calcium antagonist properties, which provide muscle relaxation. In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of magnesium on preventing laryngospasm. Methods : After approval of the Ethics Committee and informed parental consent, 40 patients, ASA I-II, aged 3-12 years, who were scheduled for tonsillectomy or/and adenoidectomy, were randomly divided into two groups. Anaesthesia was induced with sevoflurane, lidocaine 1 mg.kg(-1) , alfentanil 10 mug.kg(-1) , vecuronium 0.1 mg.kg(-1) and maintained with sevoflurane 2% and 60% nitrous oxide in oxygen. After intubation, patients in group I received 15 mg.kg(-1) magnesium in 30 ml 0.9% NaCl over 20 min. Patients in group II received 0.9% NaCl alone in the same volume. After reversal of neuromuscular blockade, all patients were extubated at a very deep plane of anaesthesia. The incidence of laryngospasm was determined until the time of discharge from the postanaesthesia care unit. Results : Although laryngospasm was not observed in group I, it was observed in five patients in group II (25%). The incidence of laryngospasm in group II was significantly higher than group I. The plasma magnesium concentrations were significantly higher in group I than group II. Conclusions : We found a significant decrease in the incidence of laryngospasm in paediatric patients receiving magnesium. It is suggested that the use of intravenous magnesium intraoperatively may prevent laryngospasm.
