    The activities of GST isozymes in stomach tissues of female obese patients
    (De Gruyter Open Ltd, 2020) Yilmaz C.; Bulus H.; Oguztuzun S.; Cihan M.; Fidan C.
    Objectives: Obesity has become an important public health problem because of its increasing prevalence and relation with many diseases and mortality. Studies have shown its association with oxidative stress. In this study, the effect of obesity on total amount of thiol and some glutathione S-transferase (GST) isozymes were investigated which could serve as an important criteria in dose adjustment of some certain drugs in obese. Methods: The gastric tissues removed by gastrectomy operation from 29 morbid obese female patients were analysed for thiol levels and activities of total GST, GSTT1-1 and GSTM1-1. Patients were grouped according to age, presence of hypertension and/or diabetes, and family history. Results: The average total thiol was 131.22 (±7.74) nmol/ mg protein with no significant differences in between the groups. GSTT1 specific activities were about 20% higher in four groups: with ages over 35 years old, with hypertension, without diabetes and finally without family history, with respect to other groups. The differences between total GST and GSTM1 activity levels of experimental groups were not significant. Conclusions: This is the first study to compare activities of GST isozymes and total thiol content in the stomach tissues of obese female patients accompanying some common metabolic disorders, age and family history. © 2020 De Gruyter.

    Talon cusps occurring concurrently with dens invaginatus on a permanent maxillary lateral incisor: A case report and literature review
    (Academy of General Dentistry, 2014) Colak H.; Yilmaz C.; Keklik H.; Colak T.
    A talon cusp is a prominent accessory horn-like structure that projects from the cingulum or cementoenamel junction of the maxillary or mandibular teeth. It can occur in primary and permanent dentition and can lead to occlusal interference, irritation of the tongue, pulpal necrosis, caries, and periodontal problems. Talon cusp has been reported to affect both sexes, and may be unilateral or bilateral. Talon cusps occur most often on the palatal surface of permanent maxillary incisors. A comprehensive literature review revealed only 6 reported cases of facial talon cusps. A talon cusp occurring simultaneously with dens invaginatus in a tooth is extremely rare; to date, only 9 case reports have been published. This article presents a unique case of concurrent dens invaginatus and palatal and facial talon cusps in the right maxillary central incisor of a 12-year-old girl. © 2014, Academy of General Dentistry.
