    Aim: This study used specular microscopy to evaluate the possible effects of applying autologous serum to the anterior chamber on the corneal endothelial damage created by the ultrasonic vibrations of phacoemulsification (PHACO) in rabbits. Material and Method: The study, which was approved by the Ethics Committee, involved both eyes of nine 5 month-old (about 3 kg) New Zealand genus albino male rabbits. Group 1(6 eyes) received only an application of 0.2 ml autologous serum; Group 2 (6 eyes) received only the ultrasonic vibrations for 20 seconds: and Group 3 (6 eyes) received 0.2 ml autologous serum followed by ultrasonic vibrations for 20 seconds. Measurements were made before the intervention and at the 1st and 7th days postoperatively using specular microscopy, intraocular pressure, and pachymetry metrics, and the data were compared statistically. Results: Postoperative 1st week, the cornea thickness increased from 385 mu to 445 mu in Group 2 (PHACO only) and from 398 mu to 402 mu in Group 2 (PHACO plus autologous serum). However, this difference was not statistically significant. Postoperative 1st day standard deviation (p < 0.05) and variation coefficient (p < 0.05) values of the specular microscopy parameters for Groups 2 and 3 were higher than for Group 1. Postoperative 1st week it was observed that the parameters of the three groups were similar and had returned to the preoperational values. Between the endothelial cell numbers, the cell density, the cell space average, the largest and the smallest percentage of the cell and the hexagonal cell area values, there were no statistically significant differences at the three measurement time points. Discussion: This study showed that, after the phacoemulsification process, autologous serum applied to the anterior chamber can, by positive possible effects on endothelial pump functions, reduce corneal edema without morphological changes, which can be confirmed with specular microscopy

    Comparison of the Efficacy of Gutta-percha and Thermafil in Endodontic Treatment in Dogs
    (Academic Journals Inc, 2011) Pekcan, Zeynep; Kurum, Baris; Gurkan, Mehmet; Kumandas, Ali; Karsli, Birkan; Elma, Ertugrul
    Endodontic treatment is performed to save periodontally intact teeth with pulpal inflammation, infection or necrosis. There are some endodontic filling materials used in dogs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical application of two different root canal treatments with thermafil and gutta-percha, in dogs. Nineteen tooth roots were treated in 11 dogs. The treated teeth comprised of six first incisors, five second incisors, three third incisors and five canine teeth. Root canal treatment was decided to be performed after clinical and radiological examination. The depth of the gingival sulcus, dental mobility, haemorrhage after probing and change of tooth colour were assessed and periapical lesions and root resorption were evaluated after dental radiographic examination. In clinical examination, exposed dental pulp, dental mobility, discoloration and fracture were recorded in 14, 3, 6 and 4 teeth, respectively. Periapical lesions were recorded in 4 teeth and root resorption was determined in 2 teeth during dental radiological examination. The root canal was filled with gutta-percha in 12 tooth roots and with thermafil in 7 tooth roots. Afterwards, access openings were closed with a composite resin. Of the 12 tooth roots obturated with gutta-percha, 4 were filled with 55 mm long-gutta-percha plugs manufactured specifically for carnivores and the others were obturated with commercially available 25 mm-long gutta-percha plugs. Both techniques were observed to be applicable; however, obturation with thermafil proved to be much easier. As regards the time needed for application, thermafil was applied within shorter periods compared to gutta-percha. However, the results obtained showed that, instead of using gutta-percha cones and a file of the same size, it would be better to prefer a smaller size thermafil cone to obturate the full length of the root canal.

    The Effects of Ketoprofen and Meloxicam on Bone Healing in Rat Model: A Comparative Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Study
    (Kafkas Univ, Veteriner Fakultesi Dergisi, 2012) Kurum, Baris; Pekcan, Zeynep; Karsli, Birkan; Kumandas, Ali; Elma, Ertugrul
    Pain control is a common clinical approach in trauma and postoperative care especially complicated orthopedic surgeries to ease the deleterious effects of pain. Various kinds of pain killers have been used, and nowadays nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most commonly used drugs for pain control purposes. Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthetase, also commonly called cyclooxygenase (COX), is one of the key enzymes in prostaglandin bio-synthesis. The COX enzymes have subgroups of enzymes, each of which suppresses different inflammatory mediators. These enzymes are involved in different functions, some of which are essential for continuity of physiological processes. Thus, NSAIDs are expected not to cause any change of functions of some enzymes while suppressing others. Among the COX enzymes, COX-1 is associated with gastrointestinal system functions and gastrointestinal mucosa while COX-2 is associated with inflammation and pain. Like most drugs, NSAIDs have known and possible side effects. In various studies related to NSAIDs, inhibitory effects of conventional NSAIDs with non-selective effects and specific COX-2 inhibitors on bone healing have been reported. In this study, the effects of ketoprofen and meloxicam on bone fracture healing induced in 24 adult male Wistar rats was studied by Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA). The results indicates that meloxicam inhibits the fracture healing to some degree.
