In cases where experimental data are missing, cross-section calculations can be used, and the existence of the cross-section data may provide various advantages in managing time, cost, and efficiency. In this context, investigated detailed cross-section calculations of the 64Cu isotope. To this end, cross-sections acquired from various calculation codes were compared with the literature, and alternative production routes were investigated. Using the nuclear reaction codes TALYS and EMPIRE, cross-section data of the 64Cu isotope were obtained from the 64Ni(p,n)64Cu, 65Cu(p,n+p)64Cu, 68Zn(p,n+α)64Cu, 65Cu(n,2n)64Cu, 64Ni(d,2n)64Cu, and 63Cu(d,p)64Cu reactions with the equilibrium and pre-equilibrium models. The results were compared with the available literature data from the EXFOR database.","PeriodicalId":10906,"journal":{"name":"Cumhuriyet Science Journal","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135133272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The complex was identified by FT-IR, 1H NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis. The solid state structure of [Ni(L)(PPh3)] was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. It was determined that the complex, whose nickel center has a distorted square planar configuration, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group I2/c. Bisthiocarbohydrazone (L) binds to the nickel center through its phenolate O, azomethine N and thioenolate S atoms in a dianionic tridentate mode. The antioxidant capacity of L and Ni(II) complex was examined using the CUPRAC (cupric reducing antioxidant capacity) method. Also, the DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method was used to test free radical scavenging activity of the compounds. Antioxidant activity results showed that L exhibited better activity than Ni(II) complex.","PeriodicalId":10906,"journal":{"name":"Cumhuriyet Science Journal","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135133144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Polypropylene (PP) hernia mesh is a commercially available medical textile used in surgical repair of different types of hernia. It was aimed to investigate the effect of two different knitting patterns of PP meshes on the flexural properties of the PMMA denture base resin when they are used as reinforcement and compare with glass fiber mesh reinforced and no mesh used resins. Knitting patterns of the PP mesh structures were hexagonal honeycomb pattern and square pattern and these were used as single or double layer as reinforcement. 6 groups were established in the study: control group with no mesh and 5 reinforced groups with meshes (glass fiber mesh, single layer honeycomb patterned PP mesh, double layer honeycomb patterned PP mesh, single layer square patterned PP mesh, double layer square patterned PP mesh). A total of 60 samples with the dimensions of 65x10x3 mm, n=10 in each group were fabricated. The flexural strength, maximum deformation, and flexural modulus were determined by three-point bending test. Fracture surfaces were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. The obtained data were statistically analyzed by two-way ANOVA test with Bonferroni corrections. The single layer square patterned PP mesh group exhibited the highest (76.67 ± 7.64 MPa), and the control group showed the lowest (63.49 ± 7.18 MPa) flexural strength values. The single layer glass fiber mesh group showed the highest (7.13 ± 0.55 mm) and the control group showed the lowest (4.72 ± 0.81 mm) maximum deformation values. The single layer glass fiber mesh group exhibited the highest (2131.87 ± 205.76 MPa), and the control group exhibited the lowest (1582.26 ± 98.63 MPa) flexural modulus values. Significant increase in flexural strength was observed in all polypropylene mesh-reinforced groups compared to the control group except double layer honeycomb patterned PP mesh group (p < 0.05). Using PP fiber mesh for reinforcement provide a very favorable aesthetic view and PP fiber mesh is concluded to be a promising material for reinforcement of heat-cured PMMA denture base resins.","PeriodicalId":10906,"journal":{"name":"Cumhuriyet Science Journal","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135133137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The procedure was based on clopidogrel being electrochemically oxidized at a platinum electrode in nonaqueous solutions. At 1.93 V, the oxidation peak was noted. It was discovered that clopidogrel's oxidation was diffusion-controlled. Additionally, a quick and easy SWV approach was developed and validated in this work to determine clopidogrel in pharmaceutical preparations. At concentrations between 5 and 50 µg/mL, the calibration curve was linear. The precision was given by relative standard deviation and was less than 2.73%. Accuracy was given with relative error and did not exceed 3.89%. In pharmaceutical preparations, clopidogrel had an average recovery of 100.1%. Under the chosen experimental conditions, no interference was found. The suggested method is extremely accurate and precise. Therefore, the method is applicable to the measurement of clopidogrel in pharmaceutical formulations.","PeriodicalId":10906,"journal":{"name":"Cumhuriyet Science Journal","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135133257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analyses performed for nanocomposite drug carrier systems; FT-IR, XRD, TGA, BET analysis, Zeta potential, TEM and SEM. Paclitaxel (PTX), a chemotherapeutic drug used in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, was loaded into HAP nanocrystals (PTX- loaded n-HAP) and its activity on pancreatic cancer cells was investigated. When PTX was 1 and 2 mg, Encapsulation Efficiency (EE) and Drug Loading Content (LC) were 79.17-72.24% and 80.01-80.27%, respectively, for H-n-HAP crystal structure only, while EE and LC were 88.57-81.57% and 90.84-110.57%, respectively, when H-n-HAP crystal structure was loaded with 1 and 2 mg PTX together with GO. Here, it was observed PTX release profiles are according to the Hixson model. According to Fick's law, release profile was observed with values of k=1.89, n=0.21, SSD=0.04, R2=0.997, FIC=2.03, SD=0.004. In cell culture studies, as GO nanomaterials were loaded into H-n-HAP nanocrystal structure, the effect of PTX drug on pancreatic cancer increased and the viability of cancer cells decreased.
