19. Yüzyıl İstanbul Endüstri Mirasına Palimpsest Kavramı Üzerinden Ontolojik Değerlendirme
(Atatürk Üniversitesi, 2025) Ural, Ayşe Gülçin
Eski yazılı parşömen kağıtlarının silinip üzerine yeniden yazılar yazılması, ancak eski yazı izlerinin hala görünüyor olması hali palimpsest olarak tariflenmektedir. Mekân üzerinden bu kavramı incelemek gerekirse; yeniden işlevlendirilen yapılar içinden eski işlevin ve yapım biçiminin izlerini hala görebilmek şeklinde yorumlanabilmektedir. İstanbul gibi büyük tarihe sahip bir kentte, yeniden işlevlendirilmeye ihtiyaç duyan pek çok tarihi yapı bulunmaktadır. Bu yapılar içinde palimpsest kavramının daha net bir şekilde algılanabileceği yapı tipinin endüstri yapıları olduğu düşünülmüştür. Bu nedenle çalışma İstanbul, Avrupa ve Anadolu yakasında bulunan 19. yy. endüstri yapıları ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı ise İstanbul’da bulunan 19. yy. endüstri yapılarının 2024 yılındaki durumlarına göre palimpsest kavramı üzerinden değerlendirme ve sorgulama yapmaktır. Çalışmada veri toplama yöntemi olarak nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden genel tarama modeli, belgesel tarama modeli ve tarihsel tarama modelinden faydalanılmıştır. Kavramsal zemini oluşturmak için genel tarama modeli ile palimpsest kavramına ve mekân ontolojisine dair inceleme yapılmıştır. Belgesel tarama yoluyla, tespit edilen yapıların çeşitli özelliklerine dair veri toplanmıştır. Tarihsel tarama ile ise yapıların yapım yılından itibaren geçirdiği süreç ve 2024 aralık ayında ne durumda olduğuna dair tespit yapmak istenmiştir. Toplanan teknik veriler ve görseller hermenötik yöntem ile değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda İstanbul’da bulunan 19. yy. endüstri yapıları içinde 11 adet Avrupa yakasında, 4 adet Anadolu yakasında palimpsest olarak değerlendirilebilecek yapı tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma; İstanbul’da bulunan 19. yy. endüstri yapılarının 2024 yılındaki durumlarını listelemek açısından ve bu yapıları mekânın ontolojisi üzerinden değerlendirilerek palimpsest kavramı ile yorumlamak açısından gerekli görülmüştür.

Acute Serious Hepatitis of Unknown Cause in Children
(Galenos Publishing House, 2022) Kılbaş, E.P.K.; Altındiş, M.
On April 5, 2022, an increase in cases of acute hepatitis of unknown etiology was reported in previously healthy children under the age of 10 in the United Kingdom. Since there is no link between these patients, called acute non-HepA-E hepatitis, and viral hepatitis agents (hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E), the possible etiology, and pathogenesis of this emergency is being investigated. One of the alarming features of this epidemic is the high requirement for liver transplantation in a fraction of the cases. In cases other than hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E, a case definition is made by looking at a series of clinical pictures, including serum transaminase levels and age. As of August 26, 2022, 513 cases of acute hepatitis have been reported in Europe and 1,010 globally. Adenovirus was detected in 75% of cases tested in the UK, but data for other countries are still lacking. The role of other etiologic agents is still under investigation. The exact disease pathogenesis has not yet clear. Evidence of human-to-human transmission of the disease remains unclear. Epidemiological studies are critical in clarifying the uncertainties regarding the existence of links between the cases reported to date. Continuing the national and international surveillance activities of the countries in an organized manner is the most basic issue required for the elimination of the epidemic.

(Marmara Univ, 2022) Alev-Tuzuner, Burcin; Genc-Kahraman, Nevin; Ipekci, Hazal; Ustundag, Unsal Veli; Tunali-Akbay, Tugba; Emekli-Alturfan, Ebru; Yarat, Aysen
Caloric restriction (CR) and exercise (EX) have impacts on improving metabolic risk factors. This study aimed to investigate the changes in the brain after EX and/or CR in metabolic syndrome (MeS) induced by a high fructose diet in rats. Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into five groups. Drinking water including 10% fructose solution was given to rats for 12 weeks to develop a MeS rat model. Animals with MeS were submitted to EX and/or CR for 6 weeks. Blood glucose, and brain tissue damage and antioxidant parameters were measured. Brain lipid peroxidation, sialic acid, mucin, fucose levels increased in the MeS group compared to the control (C) group. These parameters reduced significantly in the metabolic syndrome with caloric restriction (MeS+CR) group, and more significantly in the metabolic syndrome with exercise and caloric restriction group (MeS+EXCR), compared to the MeS group. Glutathione levels, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities decreased in the MeS group compared to the C group, increased both in the MeS+CR group, and MeS+EXCR group compared to the MeS group. High fructose diet consumption can lead to brain tissue damage and decreased antioxidant levels were found to be improved best in the MeS+EXCR group.

(Inonu University, 2024) Elmali Şimşek, H.; Aksoy, M.
The present study aimed to determine and compare the hidden curriculum of two institutions that provide undergraduate nursing education in two different regions of Türkiye. The descriptive and cross-sectional research was conducted with 319 nursing students. Data were collected with the Introductory Information Form and Hidden Curriculum Evaluation Scale in Nursing Education (HCES-N). While the mean score of the HCES-N total score of the nursing students attending the university in the West of Türkiye was 163.31 ± 21.69. The HCES-N total mean score of the nursing students attending in the East of Türkiye was calculated as 145.50 ± 25.81. While the HCES-N total score, school atmosphere, and professional achievement scores of the nursing students attending the university in the West of Türkiye were statistically higher than the nursing students attending the university in the east, the student-teacher-school interaction score was statistically lower. It was determined that the perceptions of the students participating in the study towards the hidden curriculum were moderate, while the perceptions of the students studying in the West of Türkiye were better. In line with these results, it is important to improve the physical conditions of schools in improving the hidden curriculum. © 2024, Inonu University. All rights reserved.
The Correlation Between Vitamin D Levels and Thyroid Functions in Early Pregnancy
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2025) Dinmez, Sinem; Özlem, Dülger; Oğul, Zeynep
Vitamin 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.

(Turkey Assoc Physiotherapists, 2025) Analay Akbaba, Yildiz; Emirza Cilbir, Cigdem; Poyraz Isleyen, Tugce; Evrendilek, Halenur; Gungor Eroglu, Nazli; Asena Yekdaneh, Aye; Gungor, Feray
Purpose: To determine the age-and gender-specific reference values for the five functional tests performed with or without cognitive dual-task in young adults. Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, a total of 107 participants were divided into four subgroups based on gender and age: females 18-25 years (G1), and 26-35 years (G2), and males 18-25 years (G3), and 26-35 years (G4). Participants completed the timed up and go test (TUG), 4 meter gait speed test, 10 meter walk test (10MWT), timed 25-foot walk test, and 1 minute sit-to-stand test (1MSTS) with and without dual-tasks. The mean value of each test was recorded. Results: Significant differences were observed in some functional tests. TUG was longer in G1 compared to G2 (p=0.019), 10MWT dual-task performance differed between G1 and G3 (p=0.041), and 1MSTS and 1MSTSdual scores were higher in G3 compared to G4 (p=0.044 and p=0.035, respectively). All dual-task conditions led to decreased performance compared to single-task conditions (p<0.001) Conclusion: The dual-task added to the performance tests changes the time, speed, and number of repetitions in healthy individuals, and these effects may vary according to age and gender. These reference values can guide clinical assessments of dual-task performance in this population.

(Turkish Physiotherapy Association, 2025) Tosun, Anil; Yılmaz, Nergis; Luque, Demet Tekın De Las Penas
Amaç: 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.

(Istanbul University Press, 2022) Albayrak, O.; Ozbeyli, D.; Sen, A.; Cevik, O.; Erdogan, O.; Ercan, F.; Sener, G.
Objective: The aim is to examine the possible protective effect of Cuscuta sp. extract against liver damage induced by biliary obstruction in rats. Materials and Methods: To induce biliary obstruction, the bile duct ligation (BDL) method was used. Sprague Dawley rats were allocated to 4 groups: Control (C), Cuscuta (CUS), bile duct ligation (BDL), and bile duct ligation + Cuscuta (BDL+CUS). Control and BDL rats were given physiological saline (SF), while CUS and BDL+CUS groups were administered 250 mg/ kg of Cuscuta extract by oral gavage. At the end of 28th day, the rats were decapitated, serum and tissue samples were collected, and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and direct and total bilirubin (DB and TB) levels were determined in blood samples. In liver tissues, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), 8-hydroxyguanosine (8-OHdG), hydroxyproline, and sodium-potassium ATPase (Na+/K+-ATPase) levels were determined. Results: Serum samples of rats with cholestasis had high ALT, AST, DB, and TB levels, while TGF-β, 8-OHdG, and hydroxyproline concentrations were found to be significantly high in tissues. Hepatic Na+/K+-ATPase levels were decreased through biliary obstruction. Biochemical parameters were drastically reversed by Cuscuta care; also, this was supported histologically. Conclusion: Results showed that Cuscuta extract, through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, provided protection against oxidative injury by biliary obstruction. Also, these results confirm the traditional use of Cuscuta sp. as hepatoprotective. © Ankara Medical Journal.All rights reserved.

The Effect of cotinus Coggygria L. Ethanol Extract in the Treatment of Burn Wounds
(Marmara Univ, 2022) Erta, Busra; Okuyan, Betul; Sen, Ali; Ercan, Feriha; Onel, Huseyin; Goger, Fatih; Sener, Goksel
The overall aim of the present research is to evaluate for the first time the curative effect of Cotinus coggygria leaves on burn injury in an experimental burn model along with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity potential. Also, phenolic compounds of C. coggygria were characterised by LC-MS/MS. Wistar albino rats weighing 200-250 g were exposed to 90 degrees C bath for 10 s to induce burn injury, involving 30% of the total body surface area. In the treatment groups, 5% C. coggygria ethanol extract was applied topically as a cream immediately after the burn. Blood and skin tissue samples were taken after decapitation at the 4th and 48th hours following the burn procedure. Interleukin 1-beta (IL-1 beta) and tumour necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) were determined in serum samples, and hydroxyproline, prostoglandin E2 (PGE2), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxy-guanosine (8-OHdG) levels were determined in skin tissue samples. Increased levels of serum cytokines were decreased with C. coggygria treatment in both periods. MPO activity, prostaglandine (PGE2), and 8-OhdG levels increased, while hydroxyproline levels decreased due to burn damage. On the other hand, these parameters were returned to its normal levels with C. coggygria treatment. In addition, the tissue histology of animals treated with C. coggygria showed a complete epithelialization with increased collagenation. As a result, C. coggygria may be an alternative treatment approach for burns-induced skin damage and wounds.
The Effect of Vitamin D and Paricalcitol on Protein Disulfide Isomerase
(Marmara University, 2025) Koksal, Murat; Şekerler, Turgut; Şener, Azize
Protein 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.
The Effects Of Panax Ginseng on Serum Oxidative Stress Following Bisphenol a Exposure
(Istanbul Univ, 2024) Fazalyar, Najiullah; Pazarbasi, Seren Ede; Dorucu, Dogancan; Sener, Goksel; Tunali-Akbay, Tugba
Objective: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a toxic compound that causes oxidative stress by disrupting antioxidant enzymes and promoting tissue lipid peroxidation. This study aimed to examine the impacts of BPA on serum oxidative stress in rats and to detect the antioxidant feature of Panax ginseng (PxG) in reducing BPA-induced oxidative stress. Materials and Methods: Wistar Albino rats (250-300 g) were divided into control, control + PxG, BPA, and BPA + PxG groups. 50 mg/kg BPA and 100 mg/g PxG were given for six weeks. Serum total antioxidant and oxidant status, lipid peroxidation, and glutathione levels were determined. Results: BPA administration increased total oxidant status and lipid peroxidation, while PxG administration to the BPA group decreased these parameters. PxG also increased total antioxidant status and glutathione levels compared to the BPA group. Conclusion: BPA was seen to cause an increase in oxidative parameters and PxG administration to restore the oxidative stress that was generated after BPA exposure, suggesting that this may help to prevent the adverse effects caused by BPA exposure.
Ensemble-Based Alzheimer's Disease Classification Using Features Extracted From Hog Descriptor and Pre-Trained Models
(Sakarya University, 2024) Muzoğlu, Nedim; Akbacak, Enver
Alzheimer'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.

beta Vulgaris L. Var. Cicla Improves Memory Deficits in Intracerebroventricular Streptozotocin Injected Rats: Role on Neuroinflammation
(Marmara Univ, 2021) Ertas, Busra; Topal, Fadime; Gulhan, Rezzan; Yanardag, Refiye; Sacan, Ozlem; Sener, Goksel
Alzheimer's disease is a challenging disease for patients due to progressive loss of cognition and behavioral disorders. Disruption of cholinergic transmission and neuroinflammation are the most important mechanisms underlying cognitive damage. Beta vulgaris L. var. cicla (BV) has been reported to have various pharmacological effects associated with its rich antioxidant content. In addition, anti-cholinesterase and antiinflammatory activities of BV have been demonstrated in vitro. The aim of this study is to elucidate the therapeutic effect of BV against cognitive impairment, reduction in cholinergic transmission and neuroinflammation caused by intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of streptozotocin (STZ). STZ was administered bilaterally at a dose of 3 mg/kg via ICV to rats, and BV treatment at a dose of 2 g/kg for 21 days was administered orally to STZ-induced animals. After behavioral tests, AChE activity, TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta levels were measured in hippocampus and cortex tissues excised from decapitated animals. Novel object recognition and passive avoidance test showed that the treatment of BV reverted the ICV-STZ induced memory dysfunctions in rats. Furthermore, increased AChE levels in the hippocampal and cortical tissues of STZ-induced rats were significantly reduced with 21 days of BV treatment. In conclusion, these results confirm that STZ administration caused cholinergic hypofunction, neuronal inflammation and cognitive dysfunction in rats, and BV therapy significantly inhibited these changes with its potential neuroprotective activity.

(Istanbul Univ, 2025) Mete, Ergun; Ozel, Yener; Bardakci, Hilal; Durmuskahya, Cenk; Koseler, Aylin; Kurt, Ozgur
Objective: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a common clinical manifestation of leishmaniasis. Here, the in vitro anti-leishmanial efficacy of sumac extracts was tested for the first time on both Leishmania (L.) tropica and L. mexicana isolates using Rhus (R.) coriaria plant, which was collected in western Anatolia. Materials and Methods: The dried and powdered fruits of R. coriaria were macerated in acetone, ethyl alcohol, and ethyl alcohol-water mixture at room temperature for two days. The pooled extracts were evaporated under reduced pressure and lyophilized form for the study. Isolates of L. tropica and L. mexicana in Acibadem University R&D Laboratory were initially thawed and cultivated in NNN medium. Assessments were made using the haemocytometer and MTT methods at 24 and 48 h, compared with meglumine antimoniate as the control group. Results: For L. tropica, the effective concentration ranges of the extracts and the infusion were found to be 578.13-289.06 pg/mL and 289.06-144.53 pg/mL, respectively. For L. mexicana, the ranges were found to be 289.06-144.53 pg/mL and 144.53-72.27 pg/mL, respectively. It was shown that all extracts of R. coriaria were effective against both L. tropica and L. mexicana in higher doses, compared to meglumine antimoniate. Conclusion: An interesting finding was that higher sumac doses were required to eliminate L. tropica of the Old World, compared to L. mexicana of the New World. In addition, the aqueous alcohol extract showed efficacy that lasted for 48 h in half doses compared to others in L. tropica. Further assessments for both the identification of the active compounds within R. coriaria and their efficacy in vivo are planned.

This study investigated the possible protective and therapeutic effects of Myrtus communis subsp. communis ethanol extract (MC) in aluminum chloride (AlCl3) and D-galactose (D-Gal) induced Alzheimer's disease in rats. MC was orally given to rats as a protective treatment for 90 days and, in other two groups starting from the 60th day MC (100-200 mg/kg) was administered, concomitantly with AlCl3 and D-Gal. Learning and memory functions were evaluated by the behavioral tests. Biological activities of MC treatment were examined in hippocampal tissues by ELISA tests. D-Gal and AlCl3-treated rats showed increased amyloid beta (A ss) and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8OHdG) levels, acetylcholinesterase activity and decreased neprilysin, Na+-K+ATPase and SOD levels in parallel with a decrease in Novel Object Recognition Test, Morris Water Maze and Passive Avoidance Test scores. On the other hand, MC administration reversed the behavioral impairments and improved learning and memory. Moreover, MC treatment decreased A ss and 8-OHdG levels and acetylcholinesterase activity and increased neprilysin levels, Na+-K+ATPase and SOD levels. Our results suggest that MC has beneficial effects on cognitive and neuronal functions through its anticholinesterase and antioxidant properties.
