    A Case of Two Synchronous Cutaneous Collision Tumors
    (Gazi Univ, Fac Med, 2017) Ayva, Sebnem Kupana; Tepeoglu, Merih; Gunduz, Ozgur; Yazici, Ilker; Bozdogan, Onder
    Cutaneous collision tumors are known as two independent tumors which are close anatomically and separated from one another by well boundaries. We, herein report a 83-year-old female patient with two cutaneous collision tumors in two different localizations at the same time. First cutaneous collision tumor located on left ala nasi was squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma and second one located on the right commisure was composed of malignant melanoma (Clark Level IV) and basal cell carcinoma. However, the presence of collision tumors is not uncommon and is often reported in the literature, to the best of our knowledge, it is the first case which shows the association of two synchronous cutaneous collision tumor in the same individual.

    The effect of intraperitoneal n-acetylcysteine on postoperative adhesions in rat models
    (Edizioni Luigi Pozzi, 2017) Asian, Gizem Inal; Otgun, Ibrahim; Acer, Tugba; Tepeoglu, Merih; Hicsonmez, Akgun
    ATM: In this study, we researched the effect of local administration of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on postoperative intra-abdominal adhesion formation in the rat models. METHODS: 20 female Wistar Albino rats which were 5-7 months old are used for the study. The rats were divided into two equal groups. Group one was administered saline solution (n=10) while group two was administered NAC (n=10) after caecal abrasion. They were dissected on postoperative tenth day and were examined macroscopically and microscopically for the adhesion formation. Intraperitoneal adhesion formation was scored blinded with Evans model. The most adherent bowel section was excised for histopathologic examination. Mann Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: In Group one, all rats have had adhesions. None of the rats in Group two had either severe inflammatory cell reaction or dense interstitial fibrosis. Macroscopic adhesion formation and microscopic inflammatory cell reaction and interstitial fibrosis formation after surgery were less at the group two (NAC applied) (p<0.05, p<0.05, p<0.05). CONCLUSION: We believe that the intraperitoneal single dose usage of NAC may be promising for decreasing the postoperative intraabdominal adhesions.
