The aim of this experimental study was to investigate the potential effects of topical phenytoin on wound healing after nasal mucosal trauma in rats. Study DesignAn experimental study at the Inonu University Faculty of Medicine. MethodsTwenty-four rats were randomized into three groups: 1) phenytoin group (n=8), 2) control group (n=8), and 3) vehicle group (n=8). After damaging the right nasal cavity, in the phenytoin group, 1% topical phenytoin cream was applied for 7 days. The rats in the control group did not receive any treatment. The vehicle group was treated with daily topical cold cream for 1 week. The rats were sacrificed at the end, and the nasal cavities were excised. Tissue edema and inflammatory cell infiltration were compared among the groups. Additionally, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and cluster of differentiation 31 (CD31) immunoexpression levels were evaluated. Furthermore, in biochemical analysis, the tissue levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and (EGF) of the groups were investigated. ResultsIn the phenytoin group, tissue edema and inflammatory cell infiltration were significantly decreased, and PCNA and CD31 immunoexpression levels were more prominent (P<.001) and the tissue EGF levels were significantly higher (P<.01). ConclusionsTopical phenytoin treatment may alter the nasal wound healing after mechanical trauma. The potential beneficial effects of topical phenytoin on nasal mucosa should be investigated by further experimental and human trials. Level of EvidenceNA Laryngoscope, 124:E449-E454, 201
BÜTÜNCÜL BİR MODEL OLARAK AHİLİGİN GİRİSİMCİLİK BOYUTUNUN ZİHNİYET TEMELLERİ

RESEARCH IN USAGE OF FLY ASHES IN THE PRODUCTION OF INTERLOCKING CONCRETE PAVE
No full textUçucu kül (UK), termik santrallerde kömürün yakılması sonucu olusan atık malzemedir. Bu yan ürün betonda puzolanik malzeme olarak kullanılmaktadır.
Çimento veya beton üretiminde UK belirli oranlarda kullanılmaya baslamıstır. UK'ler beton üretiminde puzolanik katkı veya dolgu (filler) malzemesi olarak
kullanılmaktadır. UK kullanım alanının arttırılması hem ekonomi hem de çevre kirliligi açısından önemlidir.
Beton kilitli parke tasları, son zamanlarda oldukça yaygın kullanılmaktadır.
Özellikle sehir içi yol ve kaldırımlarda, araç park alanlarında, ticari merkezlerde, fabrika çevreleri ve benzeri yerlerde yogun çalısmalara maruz kalan bölgelerde kullanılmaktadır. Parke tası üretimi, UK kullanımı için genis hacimli bir alandır. UK'ün parke tası üretiminde kullanılması, daha iyi parke tası üretimi, ekonomiklik ve çevre açısından iyi bir yaklasım olacaktır.
Çalısmada üç farklı santralden elde edilen uçucu kül %10-20-30-40 oranda çimento yerine ikame edilerek kullanılmıstır. Üretilen parke taslarının yarısı
kontrol numunesi olarak kullanılmıstır. Diger yarısı tuzlu küre maruz bırakılmıstır. Kilit taslarının yarmada çekme, su emme ve asınma özellikleri
saptanmıstır.Genel olarak %10-20 UK ikameli numuneler, sahit numuneye benzer sonuçlar vermistir. Tuzlu sulama kürü, erken yaslarda, yarmada çekme dayanımını
arttırırken, ileriki yaslarda düsürmüstür. Diger fiziksel özelliklerde, tuzlu su kürü etkisi altında, UK kullanılan numuneler daha iyi sonuçlar vermistir.Fly ash is a waste material which is produced in the thermal power plants
by burning coal. This side product can be used as pozzolanic material in the
concrete.Fly ash has started to be used in concrete production in certain
amounts.Fly ashes are used as pozzolanic ingredients or filler materials.
Increasing the usage areas of the fly ash is important for both economical
and environmental reasons.
The usage of the interlocking concrete pave has been increased recently. It is
used in the areas in local roads and pavements, parking sites, commercial
centers and industrial areas, which are exposed to intensive usage.
Production of the concrete pave is a wide area for the consumption of the
FA. The usage of the FA in the production concrete pave is a more high
quality production, more economical and a more environmentally friendly
approach.
In this study, fly ash gathered from three different thermal power stations
has been used as a substitude to cement in 10-20-30-40 % ratios.Half of the
produced paves has been used as control example.The other half has been
exposed to salt cure.The splitting tensile strenght and water absorbtion
characteristics of the pave have been determined.
Generally, the examples with 10-20% substitude, had outcomes similar to the
witness example.While the salt cure has improved the tensile strenght in early
ages, it has reduced it in older ages.In other physical properties, under exposure
to salt cure, the examples with the fly ash had better outcomes
POLYESTER VE POLİPROPİLEN TELLİ BETONLARIN YOL KAPLAMASI OLARAK KULLANILABİLİRLİGİNİN ARASTIRILMASI
No full textYapılan arastırmalar liflerin beton performansını önemli derecede etkiledigini
göstermektedir. Literatürde çelik liflerin betonun egilme dayanımını ve enerji
yutma kapasitesini arttırdıgı belirlenmistir. Ancak çelik liflerin beton yol gibi
korozif ortamlarda sürekli bulunması zamanla lif etkisinin ortadan kalkmasına
neden olabilmektedir. Bu nedenle mikro sentetik lif üreticileri kimyasallara ve
korozif ortamlara dayanıklı, aynı zamanda çelik life alternatif olması amacıyla
makro sentetik polyester ve polipropilen telleri piyasaya sunmuslardır.
Bu çalısmanın amacı, polyester (PYTB) ve polipropilen tel takviyeli betonların
(PPTB) çelik tel takviyeli (ÇTB) ve tel takviyesiz betonlara göre taze ve
sertlesmis beton deneyleri ile performansları belirlenerek karayolu üst yapısı
olarak kullanılabilirliginin arastırılmasıdır. Çalısmada PYTB, PPTB ve
ÇTB'lar ile bunlara referans olması için iki farklı tel içermeyen beton tasarımı
olmak üzere toplam bes tür beton üretilmistir. Referans betonlarından R1,
karısım tasarımı olarak tel içerikli betonlar ile aynıdır. Diger referans beton R2
ise normal yol betonu olarak üretilmistir. Betonlar üzerinde fiziksel deneylerin
yanı sıra plak, kiris egilme, yarmada çekme dayanımı, basınç ve elastiklik
modülü, yüzey sertligi yardımıyla yaklasık basınç dayanımı, ultrasonik ses geçis
hızı, asınma, kapiler su emme ve karbonatlasma derinligi deneyleri yapılmıstır.
Çalısmada yapılan plak, kiris egilme ve yarmada çekme deney sonuçlarına göre
polipropilen (PP) tellerin betonun ilk çatlak yükünü arttırdıgı, çelik ve polyester
(PY) tellerin ise önemli bir etkisinin olmadıgı belirlenmistir. Betonların plak
deneylerinden elde edilen enerji yutma degerlerine bakıldıgında PPTB'ların
ÇTB'nunun ~%23,5'i ve PYTB'larında ~%14,8'i seviyesinde oldugu
görülmüstür. Kiris egilme deney sonuçları da bunu dogrulamaktadır. Asınma
deneylerinde asınma kaybı en çok ÇTB'larında görülmüstür
Sonuç olarak agır tasıt yükleri ve olumsuz hava kosullarına maruz beton yollar
için ÇTB'ların yüksek enerji yutma kapasiteleri sayesinde daha uygun olacagı
görülmüstür. Ancak ÇTB'ların ilerleyen yaslarda, özellikle çelik tellerin
betonun ilk çatlak yüküne etki etmemesi, asınma nedeni ile betondan daha iri
parçalar koparması ve diger korozif sartlar nedeniyle özelligini kaybedebilecegi
de dikkate alınmalıdır. Özellikle PP tellerin betonun ilk çatlak yükünü
arttırması ve asınma ve korozif sartlardan çok daha az etkilenmesi PPTB'ların
ancak ilerleyen yaslarda ÇTB'lara alternatif olabilecegini göstermistir.Researches have been shown that fibres have a significant affect on the concrete
performance and also steel fibres increases flexural strength and energy
absorbsion. However corrosive environment affects the fibres negatively.
Therefore synthetic micro-fibre producers have supplied alternative macrosynthetic
polyester and polypropylene fibres to prevent negative effects of
corrosion and chemicals.
The purpose of this study is to research polyester (PYTB) and polypropylene
(PPTB) reinforcement concrete according to steel fiber reinforcement concrete
(SFRC) and without fiber concrete which indicated performance by fresh and
hardened concrete tests as a concrete pavement. In this study, five species
concrete produced that PYTB, PPTB and SFRC fibre concretes and two
concretes without fibre to make reference of them. Reference concrete R1 mix
design with content is the same as the PYTB, PPTB and SFRC. Other reference
R2 mix design is produced normal pavement concrete. On all types of concrete
were performed physical experiments, slab tests, beams flexural toughness,
tensile split strength, compressive strength and elasticity module, determination
of compressive strength of concrete by surface hardness, ultrasonic pulse
velocity, abrasion resistance, capillary water absorption and depth of carbonate
experiments.
According to results of the slab tests, beams flexural toughness and tensile split
strength tests PP fibers increased first crack load, steel (S) and polyester (PY) of
fibers was not a significant effect. Results of the energy absorbsion have been
determined PYTB ~23.5% and PPTB ~14.8% level of SFRC from slab tests
verifying by beams flexural toughness test results. The most loss abrasion were
seen SFRC.
Consequently, SFRC are suited for subjected to heavy vehicle loads and
negative air condition concrete pavements owing to high energy absorbsion. But
especially steel fibres first crack load on concrete are not a significant effect
should be taken into consideration because of the abrasion pull off big
particular and other corrosive condition may lose property in later years. It is
shown that PP fibres are increased first crack and loss effected abrasion and
corrosion, so PPTB should be alternative SFRC in later years
Marked changes in olfactory perception during early pregnancy: a prospective case-control study
No full textSIMSEK, GOKCE/0000-0001-5281-0986Pregnancy seems to be related with a significant change in olfaction. Here, we investigate this theory by testing the odor identification abilities of uncomplicated pregnant women and compare the results with non-pregnant controls. The study included 31 healthy pregnant women in the first trimester (Group 1), 30 in the second trimester (Group 2), 31 in the third trimester, and 30 non-pregnant healthy controls (Group 4). In order to measure odor identification abilities, each subject completed the 12-item Brief Smell Identification Test (BSIT). Next, the demographic characteristics and BSIT scores of the groups were compared. The total BSIT scores of the subjects in Group 1 were found to be significantly lower than those of the other groups (p 0.05). Early pregnancy might be related to significant changes in olfactory performance. The distortion of odor identification in the first trimester might be a causative factor for the development of pregnancy-specific conditions, such as morning sickness and hyperemesis gravidarum, which are both common complaints during the early phase of parturition

No full textMean Platelet Volume Decreases in Adult Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea After Uvulopalatal Flap Surgery
No full textSIMSEK, GOKCE/0000-0001-5281-0986Aim:The main purpose of the study was to investigate changes in mean platelet volume (MPV) values in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) who had undergone uvulopalatal flap (UPF) surgery.Method:The study included a review of the medical records of 37 adult patients who had undergone UPF surgery after being diagnosed with OSAS. The baseline blood parameters of patients, including the MPV and platelet distribution width (PDW) values, were measured and repeated 3 months after treatment. Polysomnographic evaluations of the patients were also performed during admission and the 3rd month control. Comparisons of MPV values and their correlation with polysomnographic parameters were the main outcomes measured.Results:The blood parameters of all patients were similar except for MPV values, which were significantly lower after treatment (P0.05).Conclusion:The UPF surgery, which is a relatively simple surgical intervention to treat OSAS, alleviates nocturnal hypoxic episodes and lowers platelet volume. These may both be important predictors of adverse cardiovascular outcomes related to OSAS
