Involvement of cholinoceptors in cadmium-induced endothelial dysfunction
(2003)
Cadmium (Cd) toxicity was produced in male rats to study the role of cholinoceptors in Cd-induced endothelial dysfunction. The changes in the tension of the aortic rings to constrictor and dilator agonists were compared ...
Serum soluble CD30 levels in Behçet's disease
(2004)
Behçet's disease is associated with the inflammatory response. Several reports indicate the presence of primarily CD4+ T cells of the Th1 subtype in the inflammation process of the disease. Serum soluble CD30 (sCD30) is ...
The detection of urinal neopterin concentration increases the efficiency of cervical smear in the diagnosis of cervical cancer.
(2004)
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the importance of urinal neopterin detection carried out together with cervical smear test, in the diagnosis of cervical cancer. METHODS: In this study, urine samples were collected from randomly ...
The effect of aging on the apparent diffusion coefficient of normal appearing white and gray matter
(2004)
PURPOSE: To test if the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values reflect the ultrastructural changes of normal appearing white and gray matter with advancing age. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We selected 45 patients with ...
The effects of darkness on retrobulbar hemodynamics in patients with early stages retinitis pigmentosa
(2004)
Purpose: To investigate the retrobulbar hemodynamic changes occurring in light and darkness in patients with early stages retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Methods: Eleven early stages RP patients were enrolled in the study. The ...
Anatomic variations of the colon detected on abdominal CT scans
(2004)
PURPOSE: The frequency of anatomic variations of the colon detected on abdominal CT scans was examined. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 296 consequtive abdominal tomography were evaluated prospectively for the presence of retrorenal ...
Determining the aortic and renal hemodynamic effects of propofol on rabbits using Doppler ultrasonography
(2004)
PURPOSE: The hemodynamic effects of propofol-fentanyl anesthesia were known to reduce arterial pressure and heart rate. We aimed to determine the effects of propofol-fentanyl anesthesia on renal artery blood flow and aorta ...
Transient arterial enhancement in a hepatic peritumoral fat-spared area
(2005)
Early-enhancing areas that are perfusion abnormalities rather than tumor deposit are sometimes encountered on arterial dominant-phase images in multisection dynamic magnetic resonance imaging. Focal sparing in diffusely ...
Postoperative spinal ultrasonography findings in spinal dysraphia
(2005)
Diastematomyelia is a form of spinal dysraphism involving sagittal clefting of the spinal cord, conus medullaris, and/or filum terminale into two hemicords. It can be an isolated finding or can be associated with ...
Osteochondral multiple autograft transfer (OMAT) for the treatment of cartilage defects in the knee joint
(2005)
The ideal articular cartilage repair tissue should be durable and well-integrated. We have been performing osteochondral multiple autograft transfers (OMAT) since 1996 with the experience we had using carbon fiber implants. ...
