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.

Advances in Ferritin Biosensors: Rapid and Cost-Effective Iron Level Assessment
(Field Crops Central Research Institute, 2025) Vonalioglu, Sena; Okur, Muhammed Daghan; Üstünsoy, Recep; Ertaş, Tahsin; Dinç, Bircan
Iron is an essential element crucial for oxygen transport in the bloodstream; however, deviations from its normal physiological levels can result in health complications. Iron deficiency is a widespread condition and a leading cause of anemia globally. Conversely, excessive iron accumulation can cause severe liver damage, such as cirrhosis, by exacerbating oxidative stress. Consequently, assessing iron status through biomarkers like ferritin, which is a protein that reflects the body’s iron stores, is critical for diagnosing iron-related disorders accurately. The ferritin test, which measures the concentration of ferritin protein in the blood, is a standard method for iron analysis. However, frequent hospital visits for such testing can be both time-intensive and expensive. This has driven significant interest in developing rapid and cost-effective methods for ferritin detection. To meet this demand, a variety of biosensors have been designed using diverse techniques to enable convenient ferritin analysis. Despite considerable advancements in biosensor technologies, a comprehensive classification and analysis of these devices remain lacking, leaving researchers without a unified understanding of their comparative strengths and limitations. This review addresses this gap by systematically categorizing ferritin biosensors based on their underlying mechanisms. The review explores electrochemical biosensors, such as those based on graphene, microfluidics, and ZnO–Mn3O4 nanocomposites, as well as electrical biosensors using quantum dots or gold nanorods. Additionally, optical biosensors, including photonic crystal sensors, surface plasmon resonance systems and magnesium sulfide nanosheets are discussed in detail. Unconventional and immunoassay-based biosensors, such as nanodiamond-based magnetic sensors and nanowire FETs, are also examined to highlight the breadth of detection strategies available. With the rising prevalence of iron-related disorders and the limitations of traditional diagnostic tools, this review underscores the critical need for portable, rapid, and cost-effective ferritin biosensing technologies, offering insights relevant to both clinical practice and future research. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

(Marmara Univ, Fac Medicine, 2024) Ayci, Nurdan Bulbul; Ertas, Busra; Kaya, Rumeysa Keles; Sevinc, Sevgi Kocyigit; Amuran, Gokce Gullu; Ercan, Feriha; Cetinel, Sule
Objective: The aim of this study was to reveal the effect of apocynin (APO) on the factors involved in obesity-related endothelial dysfunction (ED) and atherosclerosis (AS). Materials and Methods: Male Wistar albino rats were divided into control (CNT), high-fat diet (HFD) and HFD+APO groups. HFD and HFD+APO groups were fed HFD for sixteen weeks. APO (25 mg/kg) was administered to the HFD+APO group for the last four weeks. The effects of APO on: AS-related metabolic parameters (triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, insulin and leptin), oxidative stress (OS), [ malondialdehyde, glutathione, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)oxidase-2, oxidised-low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine], low-density lipoprotein and ox-LDL uptake potential (activin receptor-like kinase-1 and lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1, respectively), tissue inflammation inducible-nitric oxide synthase, nitric oxide), programmed cell death (terminal deoxynucleotidyl-transferase-dUTP-nick-end (alpha-smooth muscle actin), histology and ultrastructure of thoracic aorta were evaluated. Results: In obesity, APO had an ameliorative effect on metabolic parameters, OS, inflammation, ED, programmed cell death and oxLDL uptake potential, but not on foam cell formation and LDL uptake potential. Conclusion: Apocynin may improve ED and AS in obesity by suppressing OS-linked factors involved in the early stage of AS.
Assessments of Energy, Macro and Micronutrient Intakes in Children and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
(Marmara Univ, Fac Medicine, 2023) Ozkaya, Volkan; Ozkaya, Sebnem Ozgen
Objective: This study aims at examining dietary intake in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and comparing the results with national dietary intake recommendations. Patients and Methods: One hundred fifty children and adolescents (52.7% female) with an average age of 12.2 +/- 3.1 years and with type 1 DM who were followed by the Pediatric Endocrinology Polyclinic participated in the study. Three-day food intake records and clinical information regarding the type 1 DM condition of the participants were obtained. Results: No gender-related significant difference was found among the participants regarding food intake. The percentage of energy derived from fat (average 39.6%) and saturated fat (16.1%) were higher than the recommended levels in both gender groups. The percentage of energy derived from carbohydrates (female 44.1 +/- 5.7%, male 43.0 +/- 6.8%) was below the recommended levels. The dietary fiber intake in children aged 6-10 years with type 1 DM met recommendations, whereas, it was below the recommended levels in other age groups. Micronutrient inadequacy was common in children and adolescents with type 1 DM. Conclusions: The authors believe that guidelines and programs are needed for children and adolescents with type 1 DM to reduce total fat and saturated fat intake, increase carbohydrate and dietary fiber intake up to the recommended levels, and prevent multiple micronutrient inadequacies.

Association Between Carbohydrate Quality Index and Dietary Patterns, Sleep Quality, Anxiety Level, and Depression Symptoms: a Cross-Sectional Study
(Soc Chilena Nutricion, Bromatologia & Toxicologia, 2022) Yuksel, Aysun; Yilmaz-Onal, Hulya; Basturk, Berrak; Yalcin, Bahar
Aim: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between carbohydrate quality and sleep quality, depression, anxiety, stress and anthropometric measurements. Methods: The carbohydrate quality was calculated using the total fiber intake, ratio of whole grains to total grains, the ratio of solid carbohydrates to total carbohydrates, and the glycemic index. Sleep status was determined using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and nutritional status was determined by taking a 1-day food consumption record and food consumption frequency. Results: It was found that 20% of the participants with the highest carbohydrate quality had the highest sleep quality and the lowest body mass index. Conclusion: Adults should be informed that the quality of carbohydrates that they consume, was associated with better sleep quality and some micronutrients (potassium, magnesium, vitamin A-D-K-C-81-86, Folate) but no significant correlation was found between anxiety, depression, and stress scores

Bitter Melon (Momordica charantia) Fruit Extract Ameliorates Methotrexate-Induced Reproductive Toxicity in Male Rats
(Marmara University, 2021) Kanpalta, Fatma; Özbeyli, Dilek; Sen, Ali; Cevik, O. Dağdeviren; Şener, Göksel; Ercan, Feriha
Objective: Methotrexate (MTX) is a drug commonly used for the treatment of malign neoplastic and inflammatory diseases. Anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of bitter melon (BM) were reported. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of BM fruit extract on MTX-induced testicular and epididymal damage. Materials and Methods: Sprague Dawley male rats were divided into three groups (n=8) as control, MTX and MTX+BM. A single dose of MTX (20 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally to the MTX and MTX+BM groups. BM fruit extract (600 mg/kg) was applied to the MTX+BM group orally for 5 days. Testes were examined for general histopathology, proliferating and apoptotic cells. The epididymis samples were used for the evaluation of sperm morphology. Oxidative and inflammatory markers were analysed biochemically. Results: Increased abnormal spermatozoa, degenerated seminiferous tubules with increased apoptotic cells and decreased proliferative cells were observed in the MTX group. TNF-α, IL-1β, 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine and caspase-3 levels increased, superoxide dismutase and catalase levels decreased in both testis and epididymis samples. All these histological and biochemical parameters were ameliorated in the MTX+BM group. Conclusion: Methotrexate causes testis damage by decreasing spermatogenic cells and increasing apoptosis through oxidative stress and inflammation. BM extract improves testis and epididymis damage with its possible anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

(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.

Objectives: The number of studies on mindfulness in children and adolescents has rised in recent years, and it is crucial to evaluate the mindfulness-based interventions applied with standardized measurement tools. This aim of this study was to make the Turkish language validity and reliability of the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM), which can be used in children and adolescents about mindfulness, which has been very well-liked in recent years, and which has validity and reliability in many languages, and to bring it into our language for the ages of 9-18. Materials and Methods: The total sample of the current study consisted of 156 children and adolescents, 48 of whom were children and adolescents with any mental disorderdiagnosis according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (DSM-5). One hundred eight of them did not have any mental disorders diagnosis according to DSM-5, who had only periodic problems or were brought for counseling. Results: In the reliability analysis of the scale, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was found to be 0.76 for the whole scale. In test-retest reliability two weeks apart, the two measurements have a strong correlation between the measurements (r=0.634 p<0.0001). Conclusion: In conclusion, our findings show that the Turkish version of the CAMM is a valid and reliable measurement tool for the 9-18 age group. © 2024, Galenos Publishing House.

Clinical Outcomes of Conservative Versus Surgical Treatment for Patients With Proximal Humeral Fracture Before Physiotherapy
(Acta Medica Belgica, 2024) Kus, G.; Alpozgen, A. Zengin; Gungor, F.; Ozdincler, A. Razak; Altun, S.
Fear of movement, pain, and loss of shoulder function are the most common problems irrespective of their approach to management after proximal humeral fracture (PHF). However, it has been unclear whether there could be differences between both treatments in early clinical outcomes. It can help physiotherapists to guide in choosing treatment approaches. This study aimed to compare kinesiophobia, pain, range of motion (ROM), shoulder function, and Quality of life (QoL) in patients treated with either conservative (CT) versus surgical (ST) after PHF. In addition, it aimed to determine correlations between fear of movement and seconder outcome measures. This cross-sectional study enrolled the patients having 5-6 weeks (being permitted active movement) after being treated either CT or ST and receiving no physical therapy. Pain, passive and active ROMs, shoulder function, fear of movement, and QoL were evaluated. 42 patients were recruited. Kinesiophobia scores were similar (p=0.55) and moderate in both groups. There was a significant difference in degrees of shoulder active flexion, active and passive abduction in favor of the CT group (p=0.05, p=0.02, p=0.04, respectively). However, there was no difference between groups regarding the remaining clinical outcomes. Furthermore, kinesiophobia showed a moderate negative correlation with energy/fatigue, social functioning, and general health. These findings showed that patients treated surgically did not have more kinesiophobia, less function, and QoL before starting physiotherapy, despite having soft tissue damage and different types of fractures. However, surgically treated patients had significantly less range of motion.

Comparison of HLA-G Levels for Cord Blood Derived-MSC and Wharton's Jelly Derived-MSC
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2025) Abatay Sel, Figen; Erol Bozkurt, Ayse; Karatas, Sule; Suleymanoglu, Mediha; Yasa, Beril; Yasa, Cenk; Savran Oguz, Fatma
Objectives: A special group of stem cells with multipotent and immunomodulatory properties are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Many modulatory factors are thought to mediate immunomodulatory properties of MSCs. One of these modulatory factors is thought to be HLA-G, one of human leukocyte antigens (HLA). This study aimed to compare HLA-G levels in both stimulated and unstimulated of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) cultures with "cord blood-MSC" (CB-MSC) and "Wharton's jelly-MSC" (WJ-MSC) at different rates and different incubation periods. Methods: WJ-MSCs were obtained by explant method, and CB-MSCs using Ficoll-paque. They were characterized by flow cytometry. MSCs and PBMCs were directly co-cultured for 24 and 72 h at 1:5 and 1:10, respectively. After incubations, the media were collected and HLA-G levels were measured by ELISA. Results: In the unstimulated group, the highest HLA-G level was found in the PBMC:WJ-MSC-72-1:5 group, while the lowest HLA-G level was found in the PBMC:CB-MSC-72-1:5. When 24-1:5 and 72-1:5 groups were examined, the HLA-G level decreased significantly in CB-MSC groups compared to WJ-MSC, while it increased significantly in the 24-1:10 and 72-1:10 groups (p<0.05). In stimulated groups, the highest HLA-G level was observed in the PBMC:CB-MSC-24-1:5. Conclusions: Our study aimed to evaluate the immunomodulatory effect of MSCs via HLA-G molecule. HLA-G levels changed with different incubation times of two different MSC sources. In this study, we suggest that MSCs as a cell therapy, in particular for immune system-related disease, may be a preliminary in vitro approach to evaluate the immunomodulatory effect via HLA-G.

(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.
The Correlational Study of the Vertical Jump Test and Wingate Cycle Test as a Method To Assess Anaerobic Power in Road Cyclists
(Nevzat Demirci, 2023) Ulusoy, Y.; Koçak, F.
Road Cycling is an important sport that uses anaerobic and aerobic metabolism and especially sprinter cyclists have higher anaerobic capacity. The assessment of anaerobic power in cyclists often involves the use of the vertical jump and Wingate cycle tests. The lack of research in the field of cycling-specific tests to assess anaerobic performance has led to the improvement of existing research. The objective of this research was to investigate the correlation between the vertical jump test and the Wingate anaerobic cycling tests, both of which are often used to assess anaerobic power in road cyclists. A correlation study was conducted on 15 athletes of the Turkish national road cycling team in the 14-16 age group (15.107 ± 0.717 (SD)). The sample of the study was determined by using the convenient sampling method. On the first day, anthropometric measurements and the vertical jump test were conducted. The Wingate cycle ergometer test, lasting for a duration of 30 seconds, was administered to the participants on the second day. The computer application was used to determine the 30-second peak and average anaerobic power during the test. The results acquired from the study revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between the vertical jump performance and the peak power production measured during the Wingate cycle test (r=0.321, p<0.05). The findings indicate that vertical jump tests may serve as suitable field measurements of anaerobic power for road cyclists, as an alternative to the laboratory-based Wingate anaerobic test. © The Author(s) 2023.

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.
