    The antioxidant effects of dry apricot in the various tissues of rats with induced cold restraint stress
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012) Uguralp, S.; Ozturk, F.; Aktay, G.; Cetin, A.; Gursoy, S.
    alpha-Tocopherol and beta-carotene are the best known and most widely used natural antioxidant substances. Apricot contains beta-carotene, tocopherols and flavonoids. This experimental study was designed to investigate the protective effect of Malatya kabashi apricot in stress-induced injury in various tissues of rats. In total, 32 male Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: control, apricot, stress and apricot-stress groups. Apricot was administrated to rats by gavage for 10 days in the apricot and apricot-stress groups. Then rats were kept at 4 degrees C for 4 h in stress and apricot-stress groups. The rats were killed at the end of the experiment for biochemical and histological examinations. This study shows apricot supplementation decreased oxidative stress injury in both the stomach and intestine.

    A comparison of two-dimensional radiography and three-dimensional computed tomography in angular cephalometric measurements
    (British Inst Radiology, 2010) Nalcaci, R.; Ozturk, F.; Sokucu, O.
    Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the reliability of three-dimensional (3D) cephalometric approaches by comparing this method with authenticated traditional two-dimensional (2D) cephalometry in angular cephalometric measurements. Methods: CT images and lateral cephalometric radiographs of ten patients (five women, five men) were used in this study. Raw CT data of the patients were converted to 3D images with a 3D simulation program (Mimics 9.0, Leuven, Belgium). Lateral cephalometric radiographs were used manually for 2D measurements. The comparisons of the two methods were made using 14 cephalometric angular measurements. The Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-ranks test (alpha = 0.05) was used to determine the difference between the two methods. To assess the intra-and interobserver reproducibility, two sets of recordings made by each observer, in each modality were used. Dahlberg's formula was used to determine the intraobserver reproducibility, and the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test (alpha = 0.05) was used to assess the interobserver reproducibility. Results: The method errors of both observers ranged from 0.35 degrees to 0.65 degrees. In addition, there were no significant differences between the measurements of the two observers (P > 0.05). However, comparison of 2D and 3D parameters showed significant differences in U1-NA and U1-SN measurements (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The 3D angular cephalometric analysis is a fairly reliable method, like the traditional 2D cephalometric analysis. Currently, the 3D system is likely to be more suitable for the diagnosis of cases with complex orthodontic anomalies. However, with the decrease in radiation exposure and costs in the future, 3D cephalometrics can be a suitable alternative method to 2D cephalometry.
