Bir İstanbul semtinin tarihsel panoraması: ondokuzuncu yüzyıl sonundan 2000'lere Cihangir
No full textThis study can be seen as a contribution to the history of a cosmopolitan Istanbul neighborhood, Cihangir, where Greeks, Armenians, Jews, Levantines, Turks, and other Muslim and non-Muslim inhabitants lived in harmony for centuries. Based on oral history narratives by older and new inhabitants of the neighborhood as well as primary sources identified by the author, the present study aims to shed light on its cosmopolitan fabric and the changes it has undergone throughout the republican history of Turkey. It reflects its author’s perspective which situates the story of Cihangir within the framework of the story of the decline of cosmopolitan Istanbul due to the Turkification policies of the nationalist state. After a series of regrettable events like the notorious Wealth Tax of 1942, the 6-7 September riots in 1955, and the 1964 decree for the deportation of Greek nationals, Cihangir lost its original human fabric with the gradual departure of its non-Muslim inhabitants, specifically the Greeks, who were the main population in the neighborhood. It also presents the cosmopolitan mahalle life in Cihangir, especially in the 1950s and the 1960s. After a period of déclassement, however, Cihangir was reinvented in a globalizing metropolis, Istanbul. This study also discusses the process of gentrification in Cihangir and its effects on the neighborhood and the daily mahalle life there. Present day Cihangir is a culturally heterogeneous but ethnically less mixed neighborhood embracing the few remaining Greeks, Armenians, Jews and Levantines. However, it is a neighborhood still living together with its past.Bu çalışma yüzyıllardır Rum, Ermeni, Musevi, Levanten, Türk ve diğer Müslüman ve gayrimüslim unsurların bir arada uyum içinde yaşadıkları kozmopolit bir İstanbul semti olan Cihangir'in tarihine bir katkı olarak görülebilir. Eski ve yeni Cihangirlilere ait sözlü tarih anlatıları ve yazar tarafından ortaya çıkarılan birincil kaynaklara dayanan bu çalışma semtin kozmopolit dokusuna ve onun Cumhuriyet tarihi boyunca geçirdiği dönüşümlere bir ışık tutmayı hedeflemektedir. Bu çalışma Cihangir'in hikayesini milliyetçi devletin Türkleştirme politikaları ile ilintili olarak kozmopolit stanbul'un düşüş hikayesi içerisine yerleştiren yazarının perspektifini yansıtmaktadır. 1942 Varlık Vergisi, 6-7 Eylül 1955 olayları, 1964'te Yunan tebaalıların sınır dışı edilmesine yol açan kararname gibi bir dizi üzücü olay sonrasında Cihangir gayrimüslim, özellikle de semtin ağırlıklı nüfusu olan Rum sakinlerinin zaman içerisinde ayrılması sonucunda orijinal insan dokusunu kaybetmiştir. Çalışma aynı zamanda özellikle 1950'ler ve 1960'ların Cihangirindeki kozmopolit mahalle hayatını da yansıtmaktadır. Bununla birlikte Cihangir bir dönem geçirdiği sınıfsal düşüşün ardından küreselleşen bir metropol olan İstanbul'da yeninden keşfedilmiştir. Bu çalışma aynı zamanda Cihangir'de mutenalaşma sürecini ve onun semt ve oradaki mahalle hayatı üzerindeki etkilerini tartışmaktadır. Günümüzde Cihangir kültürel anlamda heterojen ama etnik olarak daha az karışık fakat hala az sayıdaki Rum, Ermeni, Musevi ve Levanten sakinlerini kucaklayan ve her şeye rağmen bugünü dünü ile birlikte yaşayan bir semttir
Frequency of sister chromatid exchanges in the lymphocytes of patients with atopic dermatitis
No full textThe combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental factors can induce allergic sensitization and subsequent local inflammation, resulting in atopic dermatitis (AD). Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) is a sensitive method that may reflect an instability in DNA or a deficiency in DNA repair. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether patients with AD have defects in DNA repair and whether SCE frequency can be used as a genetic marker in the pathogenesis of AD. Between September 2004 and July 2005, SCE was analyzed in the peripheral blood lymphocyte chromosomes of 32 patients with AD and 28 control subjects at the Dermatology Unit of Erzurum State Hospital. This study found that the SCE frequency was significantly increased in patients with AD (P < 0.00001). The prevalence of SCE was not correlated with patient age, sex, disease duration or AD disease severity. Our results indicate that increased chromosome instability may play an important role in the etiology of AD
Is confluent and reticulated papillomatosis without papillomatosis early or late stage of confluent and reticulated papillomatosis?
No full textThe histologic findings of confluent and reticulated papillomatosis include papillomatosis, hyperkeratosis, and minimal or no acanthosis. We present a patient with the clinical findings of confluent and reticulated papillomatosis who responded dramatically to azithromycin, but histologic examination did not reveal papillomatosis. We observed invagination of basket-weave hyperkeratosis through the epidermis. We considered this finding may give a clue for the diagnosis of confluent and reticulated papillomatosis
A case of early onset confluent and reticulated papillomatosis with an unusual localization
No full textConfluent and reticulated papillomatosis is a relatively rare dermatosis of unknown origin. It is characterized by papules that become confluent in the center and reticulated at the periphery. The sites of predilection are the neck, interscapular region, inframammary area and abdomen. In a 15-year-old girl diagnosed with confluent and reticulated papillomatosis, the lesions first appeared on her knees and elbows when she was 4-years-old, and on the interscapular area when she was 13. Similar lesions arose on the left hand a few weeks previous to her visit. Two biopsy specimens were taken from the interscapular and elbow areas. The histopathological findings of this case fit the diagnosis of confluent and reticulated papillomatosis. We expect good results from azithromycin therapy
Purpuric pityriasis rosea
No full textPityriasis rosea (PR) is a common self-limited exanthem of unknown
cause. The typical presentation of PR is easily recognized. Since
purpuric PR is a very rarely seen variant, its diagnosis is sometimes
difficult. In our 16-year-old female patient, maculopapular eruptions
were healed spontaneously after one month. Erythrocyte extravasation in
the dermis was observed in the histopathologic examination
