No full textWOS: 000516134000001This study investigated the effects of different concentrations of zeatin and thidiazuron on the accumulation of phenolics and activity of phenylalanine ammonia lyase gene in the micropropagated Satureja spicigera shoots. S. spicigera clones were generated from cultured nodal segments on Murashige and Skoog including vitamins medium supported with zeatin and thidiazuron concentrations. Shoots were subcultured three times in the same medium and harvested at the end of the third month. The expression levels of phenylalanine ammonia lyase gene were conducted using semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction technique. Rosmarinic acid contents were determined using reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector. Genetic stability of regenerants was performed using random amplified polymorphic DNA markers. Essential oils from shoots were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry analysis. It has been detected that 0.1 mg/L thidiazuron is more effective on the node formation and shoot elongation. Contrarily, 4.0 mg/L thidiazuron caused a significant increase in shoot multiplication. The highest biomass accumulation was calculated from medium including 1.0 mg/L zeatin. According to random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis, all banding profiles from micropropagated plants were monomorphic. Gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry analysis showed that rising concentrations of zeatin and thidiazuron increased the thymol and decreased the carvacrol content. It was also found that rosmarinic acid production increased significantly at 1.0 mg/L zeatin application. However, thidiazuron applications had no positive effect on rosmarinic acid accumulation. Comparing phenylalanine ammonia lyase gene expression and rosmarinic acid accumulation in in vitro shoots, it was found that they were correlated.Giresun UniversityGiresun University [FENBAP-A-140316-28]This study was supported by Project No: FENBAP-A-140316-28 of Scientific Research Projects, Giresun University.

Percutaneous coronary intervention of a single coronary artery arising from the right sinus of Valsalva

In this report we present a patient with a single coronary ostium, with both the left and right coronary artery systems arising from it. The right coronary artery was found to contain a significant flow-limiting lesion that was successfully treated with percutaneous coronary intervention.Keywords: single coronary artery, percutaneous coronary interventio

No full textFollow-up of Patients with Hyperlipidemia in Policlinic
No full textCoronary heart disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Turkey and one of the most predictive risk factors of coronary disease in Turkish population is the ratio of total/HDL cholesterol. Therefore, adequate treatment of dyslipidemia, particularly with statins is very important with regard to prevention of coronary heart disease. However, lipid-lowering therapy is implemented suboptimally in Turkey. There is much to do for both patients and physicians

Bilateral same-session flexible ureterorenoscopy for renal and/or ureteric stone disease treatment
No full textArda, Ersan (Trakya author)Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of bilateral same-session flexible ureterorenoscopy (f-URS) in the treatment of bilateral renal and/ or ureteric stone disease. Patients and methods: From October 2007 to December 2015, 62 patients who had undergone bilateral, same-session f-URS were included in the study. The procedures were performed under general anaesthesia, in lithotomy, and initiated on the side in which the patient was clinically symptomatic or on the side in which the stone was smaller. Plain abdominal radiography, intravenous urography, renal ultrasonography and/or non-contrast computed tomography scans were conducted in all patients. The success rate was defined as, patients who were stone-free or only had residual fragments of < 3 mm. Results: A total of 62 patients (43 male, 19 female), with a mean (SD) age of 39 (15.1) years, were included. The mean (SD) stone size was 23.2 (6.11) mm with a mean (SD) operative time of 58.8 (16.24) min. The stone-free rates were 90.3% and 100% after the first and second procedures, respectively. The mean (SD) hospital stay was 1.58 (0.72) days. There were minor complications (Clavien-Dindo grade I-II) in 10 (16%) patients and major complications (Clavien-Dindo III-IV), e.g. distal ureter laceration and laser injury of the ureter, in two patients. Conclusion: Same session bilateral f-URS is a successful and safe method for bilateral renal and/or ureteric stones.
