Article Aqueous Parsley (Petroselinum crispum) Extract Ameliorated Methotrexate-Induced Brain and Small Intestine Damage in Rats(Ankara Univ, 2025) Saçan, Ozlem; Şener, Göksel; Yanardag, Refıye; Tunali-Akbay, Tugba; Sivas, Guzin Goksun; Karaoğlu, Sümeyye Yılmaz; Dursun, Ercan; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri Bölümü; Eczane Hizmetleri BölümüMethotrexate (MTX) is a widely used antiarthritic and chemotherapeutic agent known to cause damage to various tissues. This study investigated the potential protective effects of parsley extract against MTX-induced brain and intestinal tissue damage. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, control + parsley, MTX, and MTX + parsley. MTX (20 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered to the MTX and MTX + parsley groups. The control + parsley, and MTX + parsley groups were administered 2 g/kg parsley extract by oral gavage for five consecutive days. After the fifth day, brain and small intestinal tissues were taken. Total protein, nitric oxide, lipid peroxidation, glutathione levels, tissue factor, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione S-transferase activities were determined in these tissues. The protein profiles of the tissues were evaluated using SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Parsley administration caused a decrease in lipid peroxidation levels in both tissues of the MTX group. On the other hand, glutathione level, glutathione-S-transferase, and superoxide dismutase activities were found to be increased. On the other hand, parsley decreased the nitric oxide level which was increased in the intestinal tissues of the MTX group. There was no significant change in brain nitric oxide level and tissue factor activity between groups. MTX and parsley administration altered protein expression, leading to the appearance or disappearance of specific bands in intestinal and brain tissues. In conclusion, parsley alleviated MTX-induced damage in brain and intestinal tissues by reducing lipid peroxidation and modulating antioxidant defenses.Article The Correlation Between Vitamin D Levels and Thyroid Functions in Early Pregnancy(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2025) Dinmez, Sinem; Özlem, Dülger; Oğul, Zeynep; Ebelik BölümüVitamin D deficiency (serum vitamin D <10 ng/ml) and thyroid dysfunctions are prevalent issues globally, particularly during pregnancy. Evidence suggests a potential link between thyroid function and vitamin D levels. This study aims to investigate the correlation between serum vitamin D levels and thyroid functions in wome n during the first trimester of pregnancy. The study was conducted retrospectively at a University Education and Research Hospital’s pregnancy clinic, covering data from August 2023 to March 2024. The sample group consisted of first -trimester pregnant women who attended routine pregnancy check-ups and had complete vitamin D levels and thyroid function tests (n=185). The sociodemographic data form and blood serum level assessment forms were used as data collection tools. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The average age of the pregnant women participating in our study was 27.6±4.9 years, and the Body Mass Index (BMI) was 25.4±4.8 (overweight). The mean number of pregnancies was 1.13±0.3, and the gestational week was 8.19±1.8. Of the participants, 35 had subclinical hypothyroidism, 37 had thyroiditis, and 113 had normal thyroid functions. The study identified 36 women with normal/adequate vitamin D levels (≥20 ng/ml), 113 with vitamin D insufficiency (10–20 ng/ml), and 36 with vitamin D deficiency (<10 ng/ml). The correlation analysis revealed no significant relationship between the thyroid function tests and vitamin D levels of the pregnant women. It was determined that vitamin D levels do not affect thyroid gland function in the first trimester.Article Determination of Post-Earthquake Trauma Level and Investigation of the Relationship with Physical Activity Status(Turkish Physiotherapy Association, 2025) Tosun, Anil; Yılmaz, Nergis; Luque, Demet Tekın De Las Penas; Fizyoterapi Ve Rehabilitasyon BölümüAmaç: Çalışmanın amacı; 06 Şubat 2023’te meydana gelen Pazarcık-Elbistan merkezli depremler sebebiyle kişilerde oluşan travma düzeyinin, kişinin fiziksel aktivite durumu ile ilişkisini incelemektir. Aynı zamanda, kişilerde deprem sonrası ağrı varlığının sorgulanması ve bu durumun travma düzeyi ile ilişkisini ortaya koymaktır. Yöntem: Veriler çevrimiçi olarak Google formları aracılığıyla toplandı, 18-65 yaş arası 388 gönüllü katılımcı (299 kadın, 89 erkek) çalışmaya dahil edildi. Katılımcıların genel özelliklerini belirlemek için “Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formu”, travma düzeyini değerlendirmek için “Deprem Sonrası Travma Düzeyini Belirleme Ölçeği” (DSTDBÖ) ve fiziksel aktivite durumlarını belirlemek için “Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi Kısa Formu” (IPAQ-KF) kullanıldı. Bulgular: Deprem bölgesinde bulunma durumuna göre DSTDBÖ genel puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı fark saptandı (p<0,001). Deprem bölgesinde bulunan 126 kişinin DSTDBÖ genel puan ortalaması 57,66±19,87 iken, bölgede bulunmayan 262 kişinin ortalaması 49,00±18,49 olarak bulundu. Spearman korelasyon analiziyle deprem bölgesinde olan ve olmayan bireylerin IPAQ-KF toplam puanları, DSTDBÖ alt faktör ve toplam puanları arasındaki ilişki incelenmiş olup sadece “Bilişsel Yapılandırma” alt faktörü ile IPAQ-KF toplam puanları arasında anlamlı bir ilişkiyi yansıtmayan negatif zayıf ilişki bulundu (deprem bölgesinde olanlar için Spearman korelasyon katsayı değeri =-0,18, p=0,042). Ve deprem sonrası ağrı yaşayan bireylerin DSTDBÖ puanları, ağrı yaşamayanlardan daha yüksek olarak saptandı (p=0,000). Sonuç: Bu çalışma ile deprem sonrası travma düzeyinin, fiziksel aktivite ile negatif ilişki gösterdiği belirlendi. İnaktif bireyler daha yüksek travma düzeylerine sahipken, minimal aktif bireylerde travma düzeyleri daha düşük bulundu. Bu bulgular, deprem sonrası fiziksel aktivitenin artırılmasının travma düzeylerini azaltmada etkili bir strateji olabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu alanda daha fazla araştırma, eğitim ve proje çalışmalarının yapılması gerekmektedir.Article Dodder (Cuscuta sp.) Extract Prevents Cognitive Deficits in a Rat Model of Hepatic Encephalopathy(Kare Publ, 2024) Cevik, Ozge; Sen, Ali; Şener, Göksel; Ercan, Feriha; Doğan, Ahmet; Özbeyli, Dilek; Hatipoğlu, Bilge Nur; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri BölümüOBJECTIVE: In our study, the protective effect of dodder plant extract against encephalopathy induced by cholestatic liver disease model was investigated. METHODS: Spraque Dawley rats were used in the study. For the cholestatic liver disease model, the bile duct ligation (BDL) was applied. The groups were determined as control, Cuscuta sp. (CUS), BDL and BDL + CUS. Double ligation was performed in the bile duct in the BDL groups. For the applications, saline (SF) was administered to the control and BDL groups for 28 days while 250 mg/ kg of Cuscuta sp. extract was given by oral gavage to the CUS and BDL + CUS groups. At the end of the experiment, cognitive eval- uations were made by applying new object recognition and Morris water maze tests. After these tests, blood-brain barrier (BBB) measurements were made in half of the groups. In the other half of the groups, brain tissue samples were taken by decapitation and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and sodium-potassium adenosine triphospha- tase (Na+/K+-ATPase) measurements were made in the tissues. Histological examinations of the tissues were also performed. RESULTS: Cognitive performance was low, and BBB permeability was found to be increased in the group with bile duct liga- tion. In addition, TGF-β and 8-OHdG levels were increased in tissues, while Na+/K+-ATPase enzyme activity was suppressed. Treatment with Cuscuta sp. increased cognitive performance and decreased BBB permeability. Other biochemical parameters examined were significantly (p<0.05–0.001) reversed and supported by histological findings. CONCLUSION: Our findings in the study suggest that dodder plant may be beneficial for the protection of cognitive perfor- mance and brain tissue in encephalopathy caused by cholestasis. Keywords: Cuscuta sp.; cholestasis; encephalopathy; fibrosis.Article The Effect of Vitamin D and Paricalcitol on Protein Disulfide Isomerase(Marmara University, 2025) Koksal, Murat; Şekerler, Turgut; Şener, Azize; Temel Eczacılık Bilimleri BölümüProtein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a multifunctional protein plays an important role as oxidoreductase, isomerase and chaperone in the cell. Prior studies have identified PDI is highly expressed in many different cancer types and presented as a new potential target for cancer treatment. Here, we investigated vitamin D and its analogue paricalcitol in silico interaction of the human PDI and inhibition of PDI reductase activity in vitro. We observed a non-covalent mechanism where the main skeleton of the vitamin D3 ans paricalcitol sturcture is located at the hydrophobic site in the b' domain of PDI and forms a hydrogen bond with a residue (His138) in tihs domain. They also form multiple weak hydrophobic interactions with various chemical groups of the b' subunit. For the first time, we demonstrate that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1a,25(OH)2 vitamin D3) and paricalcitol inhibit the PDI reductase activity in vitro and their IC50 values are 20.79±1.43 nmol/L and 32.83±3.15 nmol/L respectively. The two compounds can also block the denistrosation activity of PDI.Article Ensemble-Based Alzheimer's Disease Classification Using Features Extracted From Hog Descriptor and Pre-Trained Models(Sakarya University, 2024) Muzoğlu, Nedim; Akbacak, Enver; Bilgisayar Mühendisliği BölümüAlzheimer's Disease is the most common type of dementia and is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease. The disease worsens over time, and the patient becomes bedridden, unable to move or understand what is happening around him. The main concern of medicine is to slow down the progression of the disease for which no treatment has yet been developed. Artificial intelligence studies have achieved significant success in detecting many diseases. In this study, an artificial intelligence-based approach that uses MR images of the early stage of Alzheimer's Disease to detect the disease at an early stage is presented. Initially, a new dataset was created through the application of the fuzzy technique, thereby expanding the feature space. Then, an ensemble learning-based hybrid deep learning model was developed to reduce the misclassification rate for all classes. The features derived from the inception module, residual modules, and histogram of oriented gradients descriptor are subjected to classification through bagging and boosting algorithms. The proposed model has surpassed many state-of-the-art studies by achieving a high success rate of 99.60% in detecting Alzheimer's disease in its early stages.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Global Health Emergencies During the Pandemic and Their Solutions(2021) Sencan, Irfan; Bulut, Dilek; Agalar, Canan; Sencan, Ismail Hakki; Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikler BölümüAbstract: In this review, we evaluated health care problems, which were not common before pandemic outbreak but have been common issues after its appereance and approaches to control pandemic considering its influences on people. We revised current health care developing approaches under the light of experience obtained throughout the pandemic so far. The aim is to be prepared in advance for possible upcoming pandemics. As in Covid 19 pandemics, such long lasting and widely affecting situations, durability is also very important together with flexibility and quickness. To provide durability, we need global policies taking the health to its center as well as health system policies.Key words: Covid-19, health system, emergency, crisis, vulnerability, durabilityArticle In Silico Evaluation of H1-Antihistamine as Potential Inhibitors of SARS-CoV RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase: Repurposing Study of COVID-19 Therapy(Turkish Pharmacists Association, 2024) Küçükgüzel, İlkay; Kulabaş, Necla; Hamdan, Mazın; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri BölümüIntroduction: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), from the family Coronaviridae, is the seventh known coronavirus to infect humans and cause acute respiratory syndrome. Although vaccination efforts have been conducted against this virus, which emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and has spread rapidly around the world, the lack of an Food and Drug Administration-approved antiviral agent has made drug repurposing an important approach for emergency response during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of H1-antihistamines as antiviral agents against SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase enzyme. Materials and Methods: Using molecular docking techniques, we explored the interactions between H1-antihistamines and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), a key enzyme involved in viral replication. The three-dimensional structure of 37 H1-antihistamine molecules was drawn and their energies were minimized using Spartan 0.4. Subsequently, we conducted a docking study with Autodock Vina to assess the binding affinity of these molecules to the target site. The docking scores and conformations were then visualized using Discovery Studio. Results: The results examined showed that the docking scores of the H1-antihistamines were between 5.0 and 8.3 kcal/mol. These findings suggested that among all the analyzed drugs, bilastine, fexofenadine, montelukast, zafirlukast, mizolastine, and rupatadine might bind with the best binding energy (< -7.0 kcal/mol) and inhibit RdRp, potentially halting the replication of the virus. Conclusion: This study highlights the potential of H1-antihistamines in combating COVID-19 and underscores the value of computational approaches in rapid drug discovery and repurposing efforts. Finally, experimental studies are required to measure the potency of H1-antihistamines before their clinical use against COVID-19 as RdRp inhibitors.Article Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG Alleviates Bisphenol-A Induced Oxidative Stress in Serum(Marmara University, Faculty of Pharmacy, 2025) Şener, Göksel; Tunali-Akbay, Tugba; Dorucu, Dogancan; Ede-Pazarbasi, Seren; Dede, Pınar; Eczacılık Meslek Bilimleri Bölümü; Eczane Hizmetleri BölümüThe objective of this investigation was to identify changes in the serum oxidant-antioxidant balance of rats exposed to bisphenol A (BPA) and to investigate the impact of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) administration on those changes. Twenty-four rats (Wistar Albino, 250-300 grams, male) were divided into control, BPA, and BPA+LGG groups with an equal number of rats. BPA and LGG were applied to the rats in the relevant groups for six weeks, five days each week. Six weeks later, the blood samples were withdrawn and serum samples were prepared. Total oxidant and antioxidant status (TAS), glutathione, and lipid peroxidation determinations were determined in serum samples, and the oxidative stress index was calculated. BPA exposure decreased serum total antioxidant status and increased serum total oxidative status, oxidative stress index, and lipid peroxidation level compared to the control group. LGG administration improved the increased serum oxidative stress caused by BPA. Administration of LGG to BPA-treated rats reversed oxidative stress-induced changes. In conclusion, administration of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG to rats for 30 consecutive days prevented oxidative stress in serum caused by bisphenol A.Article Life and Stigma Experiences of Individuals with Substance Use Disorder: A Qualitative Study(Turkish Green Crescent Soc, 2025) Dikec, Gul; Umut, Gokhan; Albal, Esra; Hemşirelik BölümüThis study aimed to determine the life and stigma experiences of individuals with substance use disorder who received inpatient treatment in an adult detoxification center. Data for this qualitative phenomenological study were collected in Istanbul between April and December 2023. The data were analyzed using Colazzi steps. A total of 26 individuals with substance use disorder were interviewed. The content analysis identified three main themes. The initial topic discussed was the effect of substance use on individuals’ lives. The sec- ond theme discussed was stigmatization. The final theme addressed coping with stigmatization. The study revealed that participants experienced negative emotions, including regret, guilt, and shame, due to stigma- tization, exclusion, and discrimination. Substance use treatment should not only focus on pharmacotherapy but also the psychological and social needs of the individual. Furthermore, to address negative attitudes in society, mental health professionals could inform families and disseminate anti-stigma programs.Article Magnetic Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Synthesis and Application for Selective Separation of Quercetin(Turkish Chemical Society, 2025) Başkan, Kevser Sözgen; Ersoy, Şeyda Karaman; Akyüz, Merve; Temel Eczacılık Bilimleri BölümüQuercetin (QUE) is the most active compound in the flavone family, commonly found in the leaves, fruits, and flowers of many plants. The separation of QUE from various plant matrices has been a key research area due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antitumor properties. In this study, the conditions for synthesizing MMIPs and their use in QUE recovery were examined. Iron (II) chloride tetrahydrate (FeCl2·4H2O) and iron (III) chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3·6H2O) were used to prepare magnetic nanoparticles, and Fe3O4 was synthesized. Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) was used to coat the resulting Fe3O4 surface with silica. [3-(methacryloxy)propyl] trimethoxysilane (γ-MPS) was used to functionalize the surface of the formed Fe3O4@TEOS structure. The synthesis was carried out using QUE as the template molecule; tetrahydrofuran (THF), ethanol (EtOH), and a solvent mixture of acetone and acetonitrile (ACN) (3:1, v/v) served as porogen solvents; acrylamide (AM), methacrylic acid (MAA), and 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) were used as functional monomers; ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) served as the cross-linker, and 2,2’-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was used as the initiator at different molar ratios (T:M:CrL, 1:4:20, 1:8:20, and 1:8:40). The recognition and selectivity properties of these polymers were evaluated based on absorbance values at 370 nm obtained through equilibrium assays, which used QUE solutions prepared in THF, ACN, and 50% (v/v) EtOH solvent mixtures at different ratios. It was established that the magnetic imprinted polymer prepared with a 50% (v/v) EtOH solvent mixture and molar ratios of 1:8:40 (QUE:4-VP:EDMA) exhibited the highest adsorption capacity and imprinting factor. Using the prepared QUE-MMIP, QUE was recovered with 33% efficiency from red onion peel extract.Article Seçici Enternasyonalizmden Askeri İzolasyona ABD Dış Politikasında Türkiye (1918-1923)(Istanbul University, 2025) Papuççular, Hazal; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler BölümüBu makale Millî Mücadele döneminde Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin Türkiye’ye yaklaşımını ve bu yaklaşımın zaman içindeki değişimini incelemektedir. Çalışma, Amerika’nın Millî Mücadele ile olan ilişkisine dair dört bulgu ortaya koymak- tadır. Birincisi, 1918 sonrasında Başkan Wilson’ın bölgeye bakışının çoğunlukla Ermenistan mandası üzerinden şekillenip sekteryan bir tercihi yansıttığıdır. Bu durum, başkanın enternasyonalist düşüncelerinde seçici olduğunu göstermektedir. İkincisi, Anadolu’daki gayrimüslimlerin durumunun Wilson’ın başkanlığından sonra da ABD’nin bölgeye bakışındaki önemli unsurlardan biri olmaya devam ettiğidir. Ancak Wilson döneminin aksine, ABD bu meseleleri takiple yetinmiş ve çoğu zaman konuya müdahil olmamıştır. Bu durum, ABD dış politikasında yaşanan askeri-siyasi izolasyon süreci ve bu zaman zarfında dış ilişkilerde ticari çıkarların ön planda olmasıyla yakından ilişkilidir. Üçüncüsü, Türklerin Millî Mücadele’de zamanla artan başarısının da ABD’yi iktisadi ve ticari çıkarları sebebiyle Ankara’ya karşı daha farklı bir politika izlemeye itmesidir. Sonuncusu ise hem gayrimüslimler hem de iktisadi çıkarlar çerçevesinde, yardım misyonları, iş çevreleri, lobi grupları gibi birbiriyle çatışan hedefleri olan çeşitli aktörlerin bu süreçte Amerikan siyasetini etkilemek için yoğun çaba sarf ettiğidir. Makale, Ankara’nın ABD’ye temel bakışının ise İngiltere ve Fransa’ya karşı bir denge oluşturma politikası olarak analiz etmektedir. Bu bağlamda, Türkiye’nin ABD ile olan ilişkileri kuruluş dönemi diplomasisini de iyi bir biçimde yansıtmaktadır.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Synthesis, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Evaluation of Some Novel Hydrazinecarbothioamides(Galenos Publishing House, 2025) Güler, Emrah; Dinç, Harika Öykü; Dincel, Efe Doğukan; Güzeldemirci, Nuray Ulusoy; Başoğlu-ünal, Faika; Kuran, Ebru DıdemObjectives: This study focused on synthesizing and characterizing novel thiosemicarbazide derivatives containing a 1,2,4-triazole moiety and evaluating their antimicrobial activity against several bacterial strains. The research aimed to identify key structural features that enhance antimicrobial efficacy through structure-activity relationship analysis and identify the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the most potent compounds to assess their potential for further development as antimicrobial agents. Materials and Methods: Nine novel thiosemicarbazide derivatives containing a 1,2,4-triazole moiety were synthesized by reacting 1,2,4-triazole derivatives with thiosemicarbazide precursors, and the products were characterized using infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR) spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The antimicrobial activity of these compounds (5a-i) was tested against Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), using microdilution, disk diffusion, and broth microdilution methods. Dimethyl sulfoxide was used as a negative control, and Vancomycin and Meropenem were used as positive controls, with all results converted to µM for consistent analysis. Results: The synthesized thiosemicarbazide derivatives (5a-i) were confirmed to be structurally correct through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Among the tested compounds, 5e (4-bromophenyl) and 5g (n-propyl) showed significant antimicrobial activity, with 5g exhibiting the strongest effects against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. Other derivatives, such as 5b (4-NO2Ph), 5c (4-FPh), and 5d (4-ClPh), showed moderate activity, while no significant activity was observed against K. pneumoniae or E. faecalis. Conclusion: The study successfully synthesized a series of novel thiosemicarbazide derivatives with a 1,2,4-triazole moiety and evaluated their antimicrobial potential. Compounds 5e and 5g exhibited significant antibacterial activity, particularly against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, with MIC values in the low micromolar range. These findings suggest that the compounds hold promise as potential antimicrobial agents, and further studies should focus on optimizing their efficacy and exploring their mechanism of action.Article Uzman Hemşirelerin Uzmanlık Alanlarına Uygun Birimlerde Çalışma Durumlarının Değerlendirilmesi(Association of Executive Nurses, 2024) Tuna, Rujnan; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmancı; Ates, Nimet; Hemşirelik BölümüAmaç: Bu çalışma uzman hemşirelerin uzmanlık alanlarına uygun birimlerde çalışma durumlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
