Determination of differentially expressed late responsive genes upon treatments of bth, baba and trichoderma harzianum in wheat
No full textChemically and biologically induced genes are involved in complex sets of defense responses against a broad spectrum of pathogens. Understanding the cross-link between specific and non-specific responses, systemic acquired resistance (SAR), upstream and downstream signaling molecules that regulate the transduction pathway is essential to solve response mechanisms. The wheat line Avocet-S was treated with benzo (1,2,3) thiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid S-methyl ester (BTH), beta-aminobutyric acid (BABA) and Trichoderma harzianum Raifi KRL-AG2, potentially used as bio-control fungal agent, for identification of candidate genes/gene fragments induced/repressed upon treatments. The differentially expressed wheat genes were detected by Differential Display RTPCR (DDRT-PCR), then cloned and sequenced. GenBank database was searched for significant hits of known genes using blastn algorithm. To verify the differences in the expressions of these gene fragments quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) was conducted. The confirmed differentially expressed wheat genes are Triticum aestivum Ubiquitin conjugating enzyme (TaUBC2), T. aestivum inducible phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (TaPAL1), T.aestivum autophagy-related protein 8 (TaATG8) and an unknown protein (TR1AE_CS42_4AL_TGACv1_288542_AA0951670.1). These findings are useful for identification of novel mechanisms modulating the defense-signaling network. Autophagy, ubiquitination and phenylpropanoid metabolism are important for immune responses and they can be activated by nonpathogenic chemicals and biological agents.ODTÜ'deki MSA laboratuvar
Effects of health promotion program on maternal attachment, parenting self-efficacy, infant development: a randomised controlled trial
No full textThis study was designed to test the efficacy of the health promotion program used on maternal-infant attachment, parental self-efficacy, infant development. For this experimental study parallel-group randomised control design was used. Data was collected from 64 mother and their infants. The intervention group received the health promotion program in addition to standard care, the control group received only the standard care. Family Information Form, Prenatal Attachment Inventory, Maternal Attachment Inventory, Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale, and Denver II Developmental Screening Tests were used for the collection of the data. Pearson χ2 test, Yates corrected χ2 test, independent t-test, and Mcnemar test were used for analysing the collected data. The groups on maternal-infant attachment (d:1.20 [CI:0.671–1.736]), parental self-efficacy (d:1.37 [CI:0.835 to 1.925]), and development delays of infants (p = .003, C.V: 0.41) were found to be statistically significant. Health promotion program positively influenced the maternal attachment, parental self-efficacy, the development of the infants.IMPACT STATEMENT What is already known on this subject? Pregnancy and postpartum is a difficult period for mothers. Mothers need support. Parenting self-efficacy and maternal attachment are important for improving infant health. Infant should be supported to prevent developmental delays. What do the results of this study add? With the education and support program applied before and after birth, mother and baby were evaluated together and multi-faceted support was provided. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Supporting parenting self-efficacy, maternal attachment and infant development should be started during pregnancy and should be continued in the postpartum period

No full textAVESAmaç: Bağlanma, bebeğin doğumdan itibaren kendisi için önemli olan kişilere karşı geliştirdiği güçlü ve duygusal bağlardır. Bu çalışma bir kamu hastanesine başvuran 4-12 aylık bebeği olan babalarda baba bebek bağlanma durumunu ve bağlanmayı etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla planlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma bir kamu hastanesi çocuk polikliniğine başvuran 4-12 aylar arasında bebeği olan, 179 baba ile gerçekleşti. Veriler
Mart-Haziran 2017 tarihlerinde “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ve “Baba Bebek Bağlanma Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplandı. Veriler sayı, yüzde, ortalama ve
standart sapma olarak sunuldu ve gruplar Student t, Anova (F), Mann-Whitney U ve Kruskal-Wallis testleri kullanılarak karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan babaların “Baba-Bebek Bağlanma ölçeği (BBBÖ) düzeyleri 84,67±9,00’dur. Çalışmada bir çocuk sahibi olan babaların iki
ve daha fazla çocuğa sahip olan babalara göre, üniversite eğitim alan babaların lise eğitimi alan babalara göre BBBÖ puanı anlamlı düzeyde yüksekti
(p<0,05). Aylık geliri orta olan babaların BBBÖ puanı geliri düşük olan babalara göre ve kendi babaları ile ilişkisini iyi olarak tanımlayan babaların BBBÖ
puanı orta olarak tanımlayan babalara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu (p<0,05). Bebeğin cinsiyeti ve yaşı, babanın ilk kez baba
olma yaşı, çalışma durumu, evlilik süresi, aile tipi ve bebeğin istenme durumu ile babaların BBBÖ puanı arasında anlamlı ilişki saptanmadı (p>0,05).
Sonuç: Çalışmada babaların bebek bağlanma ölçeğinden yüksek puan aldığı sonucuna varıldı. Çocuk sayısı, babanın yaşı, eğitimi, gelir durumu ve
kendi babası ile ilişki düzeyinin baba bebek bağlanmasıyla ilişkili olduğu görüldü.Objective: Attachment is a strong and emotional connection to the person associated with the birth of an infant. This study was planned to determine the status of paternal infant attachment and the factors that affect the attachment of 4-12-month-old infant in a public hospital. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted with 179 fathers, who had children between the ages of 4 months and 12 months, who were referred to a public hospital child polyclinic. Data were collected between March-June 2017, using the Personal Information Form and the Paternal Infant Attachment Scale. The data are presented as numbers, percentages, mean, and standard deviation, and the groups were compared using the Student's-t, Anova (F), Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis tests (p<0.05). Results: The Paternal Infant Attachment Scale (PIAS) levels of the fathers participating in the study are 84.67±9.00. According to the parents who had two or more children and fathers with one child, the score of PIAS in them was higher than that of the parents who received university education (p<0.05). The PIAS score of the fathers with moderate monthly income was statistically higher than the fathers who had low monthly income and the fathers who defined their relationship with their fathers as good (p<0.05). The gender and age of the baby, the age of father for the first time, working status, duration of marriage, type of family, and the condition of the baby were not significantly correlated with the PIAS score of the fathers (p<0.05). Conclusion: In the study, it was concluded that fathers scored higher than the infant attachment scale. The number of children, the age of the father, his education, his income level, and his level of relationship with his father were related to his father's attachment to the baby. @ Archives of Health Science and Research.All rights reserved

No full textYardimci, Figen/0000-0002-1550-985XBackground & Objective: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and progressive disease characterized by inflammation, demyelination and degeneration of the central nervous system. This study aimed to describe the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of children with multiple sclerosis. Methods: The cross-sectional study was collected data from 120 children who met the research criteria and were under follow-up at 7 hospitals in T & uuml;rkiye between August 2021 and February 2022. Ethical approval was obtained from the Medical Research Ethics Committee of Ege University. The researchers developed the "The Sociodemographic Form "used in the study by based on a comprehensive literature review and previous research experiences. The form was used according to expert opinion. Results: The study included 120 eligible patients, of whom 71.2% were girls. The mean age (+/- SD) at disease onset was 13.6 +/- 2.2 years, while the mean age at the time of the study was 15.7 +/- 1.5 years. Most of the participants were high school students (84.2%), and 53.3% resided in metropolitan areas. All participants were receiving disease-modifying therapy. The study found that 67.5% of the children had school absenteeism due to the disease. Furthermore, 75% of the children experienced supratentorial symptoms, with 50% presented with optic symptoms, and 37.5% exhibiting brainstem symptoms prior to diagnosis. Drug-related side effects were reported in 58.3% of children. Additionally,99.2% of the children received information about the disease. Furthermore, 75% of the children experienced challenges during the disease and treatment process. Among these children who encountered difficulties, 52.5% reported psychological problems, 42.5% experienced side effects due to medication, 42.5% had difficulty accessing accurate and sufficient information about disease and treatment management, 32.5% encountered social and school-related issues, and 5.8% had concerns related to the clinical environment. Conclusion: Childhood multiple sclerosis is more prevalent among girls, particularly in the relapsing-remitting form. The most commonly used treatments for pediatric multiple sclerosis include interferon beta-1a and glatiramer acetate. The findings of this study indicate that a significant proportion of participating children encountered challenges during the disease and treatment process, with more than half experiencing drug-related side effects. These challenges underscore the potential negative impact on treatment adherence in this population.Science Citation Index Expande
Immunoregulatory effects of dental mesenchymal stem cells on T and B lymphocyte responses in primary Sjogren's syndrome
No full textBackground: In this article, the authors investigate the modulatory effects of dental mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on lymphocyte responses in primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS), which is an autoimmune disease resulting from keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia. Methods: Mononuclear cells isolated from pSS patients cultured with or without dental MSCs and analyzed for lymphocyte responses via flow cytometry. Results: Dental-follicle (DF)- and dental-pulp (DP)-MSCs downregulated CD4(+) T lymphocyte proliferation by increasing Fas-ligand expression on T lymphocytes and FoxP3 expressing Tregs, and decreasing intracellular IFN-gamma and IL-17 secretion in pSS patients. DF-MSCs decreased the plasma B cell ratio in the favor of naive B cell population in pSS patients' mononuclear cells. Conclusion: DF- and DP-MSCs can be the new cellular therapeutic candidates for the regulation of immune responses in pSS
The mediating role of gratitude in the relationship between self-efficacy and psychological resilience in elderly individuals: The case of Malatya
No full textThe old-age period can be seen as an important experience point in the psychological resilience process. In this sense, the high levels of gratitude and self-efficacy of elderly individuals increase their psychological resilience. This study aimed to examine the gratitude, self-efficacy, and psychological resilience levels of elderly individuals. In addition, the study investigated whether the variables differ according to gender. 78 female (39%) and 122 male (61%) elderly individuals participated in the study. Brief Psychological Resilience Scale (BPRS), General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Gratitude Scales were applied to 200 participants in the Elderly Care Center. In this analysis using a relational screening model, the mediator role analysis of Baron and Kenny was performed to determine the mediator effect of life satisfaction together with a t-test. The findings of the study showed that there is a positive relationship between self-efficacy, gratitude, and psychological resilience. The gratitude was determined to have a mediating role in the relationship between the participants' self-efficacy and psychological resilience. Accordingly, developing the gratitude and self-efficacy skills of the elderly people in elderly care centers or carrying out activities related to this may be beneficial. Thus, it would be appropriate to conduct programs that focus more on self-efficacy and gratitude as two important conditions for preserving the psychological resilience of the elderly
An inexact successive quadratic approximation method for L-1 regularized optimization
No full textWe study a Newton-like method for the minimization of an objective function that is the sum of a smooth function and an regularization term. This method, which is sometimes referred to in the literature as a proximal Newton method, computes a step by minimizing a piecewise quadratic model of the objective function . In order to make this approach efficient in practice, it is imperative to perform this inner minimization inexactly. In this paper, we give inexactness conditions that guarantee global convergence and that can be used to control the local rate of convergence of the iteration. Our inexactness conditions are based on a semi-smooth function that represents a (continuous) measure of the optimality conditions of the problem, and that embodies the soft-thresholding iteration. We give careful consideration to the algorithm employed for the inner minimization, and report numerical results on two test sets originating in machine learning.National Science Foundation [DMS-1216554, DMS-0810213]; Department of Energy [DE-SC0001774]; ONR [N00014-14-1-0313 P00002]; US Department of Energy [DE-FG02-87ER25047]; Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey [113M500]; U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) [DE-FG02-87ER25047, DE-SC0001774] Funding Source: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)Richard H.
