No full text17th Congress of Anatomy -- JUN 10-12, 2005 -- Hissarya, BULGARIAObjectives: In this study, we aimed to find the average arithmetical values of some of the vertical proportions of the face in Turkish adult men and women. Patients and Methods: A total of 250 students (1125 females, 125 males) participated in this study. The subjects did not have any physical defects. The average age in females and males were 19.4 +/- 1.0 years and 20.1 +/- 1.4 years respectively. Measurements were made by the same researcher using the same millimetric calipers at the same place and at the same time of day. Results: The height of head, the height of face, the height of superior face and the height of inferior face were measured as 20.0/21.32 cm, 11.15/11.84 cm, 5.09/5.24 cm and 6.21/6.82 cm for females/males respectively. The proportions between these parameters were 55.75%/55.53% for the height of face to the height of head, 25.45%/24.57% for the height of upper face to the height of head, 31.05%/31.98% for the height of lower face to the height of head, 45.65%/44.25% for the height of upper face to the height of face and 55.69%/57.60% for the height of lower face to the height of face, in females/males respectively. Conclusion: We compared the results which are peculiar to Turkish people with the literature. We believe that the results of our study would be useful for other studies on the native Turkish people

Cystic artery anatomies in laparoscopic cholecystectomy and literature review
No full textAim: In laparoscopic surgery, knowing the anatomic variations helps to be ready for any possibilities. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the cystic artery (CA) variations and frequency in patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Material and Methods: The study was carried out by reviewing retrospectively the reports and movies of 100 LC. The positions of the cystic artery and cystic duct relative to Calot's triangle (CT) were determined and the frequency of variation was reviewed. Results: In 82% of our cases, the cystic artery was monitored as a single branch in the CT, whereas two CA were clipped in 12% of cases. In 3 cases in this study, CA went through the caudal of and parallel with the cystic duct, and entered the gall bladder. In one case, the cystic duct passed through the curve formed by the CA. This pattern was named spiral cystic artery. Discussion: The anatomy of the components, which make up a CT has so many diversifications that understanding these variations acts as a key role during LC

Electron Microscopic Evaluation of the Secretory Mechanisms of Renin from Juxtaglomerular Cells
No full textElectron Microscopic Evaluation of the Secretory Mechanisms of Renin from Juxtaglomerular Cells
No full textAlthough the structure and the functions of juxtaglomerular cells (JG) have been well defined, there is still a controversy about the secretory mechanisms of renin from these cells. It has been assumed that exocytosis is the main secretory mechanism in these cells in many studies, while others suggest that secretion occurs in a quite different way in these cells. There are several studies suggesting that diacrine secretion, which is very difficult to visualize, might be the other mechanism for secretion of renin. This study is an attempt to find the answers of these questions by identifying the fine structural features of the secretory granules in juxtaglomerular cells. Cyclosporin A (CyA) has been used in the current experimental study since it has already been reported that this drug increases the number of JG cells and stimulates secretion of Renin. Twelve female Sprague-Dawley rats had daily intraperitoneal injections of CyA for ten weeks. Tissue specimens from the kidneys of these animals were examined by electron microscopy. Fine structural characteristics of the secretory granules of juxtaglomerular cells have been examined. Considerable amount of granules, which goes to the exocytotic process, have been observed. Additionally, several cells, which their granules had been secreting their contents in a different way, were found. This was interpreted as the secretion type of diacrine secretion. In conclusion, this in vivo study presents morphologic evidences demonstrating that both exocytosis and diacrine secretion might occur in JG cells. We also had a chance to observe secretory granule probably exhibiting diacrine secretion, which is very difficult to visualize, at electron microscope level for the first time. This report also provides morphologic proof which shows that these two distinct secretory mechanisms might occur simultaneously in the same juxtaglomerular cell
The Effect of the Quadriceps Angle on the Gait Pattern in Young Adults Aged 18-25 Years
No full textAim: The Quadriceps angle (Q angle) is used for the prediction, diagnosis, and follow-up of pathologies of knee joint. It gives information about the direction and size of forces applied to the patella. It is described as the angle formed by lines drawn from anterior superior iliac spine to the midpoint of the patella, and from the midpoint of the patella to tibial tuberosity. It gives information about the alignment of anatomical structures of the knee joint. We aimed to investigate the effects of Q angle upon gait and static balance. Materials and Methods: A sample of 106 female and 105 male healthy subjects at age 18-25 years participated in our study. After notting their height and weight, bilateral Q angles were measured with goniometer in standing and supine positions. The force platform Zebris (c) FDM System Type FDM 1.5 and the WinFDM computer program were used for the gait and stance analysis. SPSS 20 program was used for statistical analysis of the obtained data. Statistical significance limit was determined as p<0.05. Results: We assessed that there was no significant relationship between Q angle and gait analysis parameters. We observed that some of ground reaction force parameters and the butterfly diagram parameters obtained through the gait analysis as well as some of the stance analysis parameters were weak or moderately related to the Q angle. Parameters related to the Q angle did not show a pattern that would be classified by the Q angle measurement method or by the side or by the gender. Conclusion: We think that it is necessary to conduct more extensive research in order to clarify the relationship between Q angle and walking pattern. We suggest that our research will contribute to the literature as a pioneering study in terms of the relationship between the Q angle and gait analysis as well as the stance analysis
Multiscale modeling of moisture transport coupled with quality changes in selected foods
No full textThe availability and movement of water inside the food materials play essential roles for food stability by affecting their physical and chemical properties, and microbiological activity. Understanding the moisture transport is a necessary step to control food properties. Food processing unit operations, like drying and sorption, influence the behavior of foods. These processes alter many aspects of foods such as acceptability, nutritional value, quality, and shelf-life. Understanding the water transport in foods and the changes occurring in functional properties has a great importance in describing and modeling their sorption and drying behavior. Due to complexity and dynamic nature of the drying and sorption processes, purely experimental methods are not capable of obtaining information on transport mechanisms. In other words, experimental methods can only be used to express one process condition. Therefore, there is a need for a general modeling approach to express the sorption and drying processes, which would allow predicting not only the water transport but also the quality attributes of the product during the process as a function of process conditions. Primary mechanisms occurring during water transport such as moisture sorption, swelling/shrinkage, and glass transition were incorporated using hybrid mixture theory (HMT)-based multiscale modeling approach (Chapter 2).
It is important to understand the viscoelastic properties of cereals since they affect product texture as a result of moisture transport. The stress relaxation behavior of oat flakes is presented in Chapter 3. The linear viscoelastic region of oat flakes was found to be below 2% strain levels. The relaxation behavior was highly dependent on moisture content. The viscoelastic behavior of oat flakes was represented with two-element generalized Maxwell model. A decreasing trend was observed in stress relaxation coefficients, G_0, G_1 and G_2, as moisture level increased due to changes in oat structure such as alterations in secondary structure of proteins, gelatinization mechanism of starch molecules, and water holding capacity of fibers.
The effect of drying conditions on physical and viscoelastic properties of strawberries and carrots, as representative products for fruits and vegetables, was investigated (Chapters 4 and 6, respectively). For both samples, drying followed falling rate period, denoting that the water transport was limited by internal resistances, especially due to shrinkage effect during drying process. An increase in either drying temperature or drying duration resulted in lower color values, moisture content, and volumes. However, the effect of duration compared to temperature was found to be more important for carrots. The decreasing trend in color parameters can be associated to degradation of carotenoids and anthocyanins, which are responsible from the major color reflection of carrots and strawberries, respectively. The creep and stress relaxation behavior of both samples are expressed using Burger’s (R2 ≥ 0.971) and three-element Maxwell models (R2 ≥ 0.998). The frequency sweep measurements showed that both carrots and strawberries presented solid-like behavior. The findings from these experimental studies were used to solve a multiscale model to estimate the moisture and stress distribution throughout the sample during drying, and to estimate the quality attributes.
The hybrid mixture theory-based multiscale models are able to describe the physico-chemical changes and general transport mechanisms occurring within a porous food matrix. This theory can also be used to predict the quality changes in food products during processing by coupling transport equations with kinetic equations. A multiscale model using hybrid mixture theory was solved for drying of carrots and strawberries (Chapters 5 and 7). The models for carrots and strawberries were validated comparing the experimental results obtained in Chapters 4 and 6. Good agreements were obtained for moisture content, color parameters, and shrinkage. The model results clearly showed the importance of glass transition in water transport. For both samples, the drying in the vicinity of glass transition regime resulted in sharper moisture profiles, indicating non-Fickian transport. Especially the boundaries due to lower moisture content in these regions underwent glass transition during the drying process, which affected the textural properties. Similar to experimental results, it was found that higher drying temperature led to greater shrinkage and deformation throughout the samples, and a greater loss in color values and nutrient content, beta-carotene for carrots and ascorbic acid for strawberries. The developed model for drying of fruits and vegetables would allow finding optimum drying conditions for specific products.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Oguz Kaan Ozturk, accepted the attached license on 2019-01-24 at 20:17.The student, Oguz Kaan Ozturk, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2019-01-24 at 20:26.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-03-11 at 10:47.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13368 on 2019-08-22 at 15:03:58Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:28:04Z (GMT).
