In this study, we evaluated the effect of costal cartilage resections on the lung volume by using computed tomography with stereologically. Methods: In this study, sixteen 4-weeks-old New Zealand rabbits were employed. Young subjects were preferred to evaluate the effect of the operation on the growth process. In order to avoid postoperative complications, only 2 costal cartilage resection was performed. The surgical group was resected to the right 4 and 5 costal cartilages (n = 8). The group that was not operated was accepted as the control group (n=8). The growth of the subjects was followed. Computed thorax tomography (CTT) scans of all animals were performed preoperatively and at the 4th postoperative week. Estimation of pre- and postoperative lung volumes was performed with the Cavalieri principle. Results: In the control group followed up during growth, bilateral lung volume was increased (15.75% and 20.62% respectively right and left lungs). In the surgical group, both the surgical side and the opposite lung volume decreased after costal cartilage resection (20.09% and 1.07% respectively right and left lungs). Conclusions: Even though the number of resected cartilage was limited, total lung volume decreased after costal cartilage resection. In the treatment of chest wall deformities, costal cartilage resection should be considered as the last option in children.","PeriodicalId":15770,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental & Clinical Medicine","volume":"44 1","pages":"61-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91231456","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}

Atlantoaxial instability can lead to spinal cord compression and neck pain, but, spasticity and radicular symptoms as well. The purpose of surgery is to remove the compression and stabilize the joint permanently. To date, several surgical techniques have been described to remedy C1-C2 instability. In this study, the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients who operated with the C1 (Atlas bone) laminar hooks fixation and bilateral C2 (Axis bone) trans-pedicular screw technique were shown. Also, the advantages and disadvantages of this technique are discussed. Methods From March 2010 to December 2017, 12 patients who have atlantoaxial instability were surgically treated by modified fixation technique which consists C1 laminar hooks fixation and bilateral C2 transpedicular screw. Results Twelve patients were operated with this procedure from March 2010 to December 2017. All the patients were checked with flexion-extension x-rays at the end of the twelfth week. The posterior bony fusion formation was observed on imaging in all patients. Conclusion C2 bilateral pedicle screw combined with C1 laminar hook system is a good method for atlantoaxial instability in the conditions which is not convenient for insertion of C1 lateral mass and C2 trans-articular screw. However, this method may not be available in some cases such as traumatic, infection, neoplastic or degenerative pathologies in which the posterior arch of the atlas is damaged.","PeriodicalId":15770,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental & Clinical Medicine","volume":"131 1","pages":"94-98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78517449","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 present study aimed to evaluate serum variations of Cu and Se in H. pylori infected individuals. Materials and methods: A prospective case-control study was performed on 69 participants with abdominal pains (40 patients with H. pylori gastritis versus 29 control group). Serum levels of Cu and Se were measured using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Comparisons of elements between included groups were done using independent sample t-test. Subgroup analysis between male and female (with or without H. pylori) was performed using one way analysis of variance. Correlation between serum Cu and Se was assessed using Pearson’s correlation test. The p-value levels less than 0.05 were considered as significant. Results: There were no significant differences in serum levels of Cu and Se between H. pylori positive and negative persons. In male with H. pylori, Se levels were 38.4% higher than control male (p-value=0.03). A positive and significant correlation was observed between serum Cu and Se levels (r = 0.51, P-value = 0.024). Conclusion: Although no statistic difference was observed in serum Cu and Se levels, the significant correlation between measured elements represent as good evidence for some discrepancies. Given the importance of well controlled micronutrients in whole body health, especially in high risk H. pylori patients, more studies are needed to clarify the exact relation of these and other trace elements with H. pylori outcomes.","PeriodicalId":15770,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental & Clinical Medicine","volume":"73 1","pages":"182-186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80575860","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 volume of the testes, seminiferous tubules and interstitial tissue, the surface area and height of the seminiferous epithelium, as well as the length and diameter of seminiferous tubules, were analyzed by means of stereology. Results showed a decrease in the evaluated parameters in experimental groups, in comparison with the control group.

Material and Methods: A 30-item questionnaire was applied on-line to a total of 240 pregnant women from all the cities of Turkey between 18-24 May 2020. With this questionnaire, demographic data of the participants, their knowledge and concerns about Covid-19, general measures they took against Covid-19, pregnancy follow-ups and their delivery preferences were evaluated. In addition, the State-trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) adapted to Turkish was applied to each participant. Personal and obstetric information were grouped and compared with the anxiety scale. Anxiety levels of the groups were calculated. Results: The STAI score means of 240 pregnant women who filled our questionnaire was 46.39±12.36 and the Cronbach Alpha value was calculated as 0.93. It was found that 125 pregnant women received help by contacting their doctor over the phone during the Covid-19 outbreak. It was also found that 106 pregnant women wanted to give birth at home. It was again found that 47.9% of pregnant women received information about Covid-19 from television. The STAI scores of pregnant women whose one or more family members’ Covid-19 test were positive was 59.60 ± 5.63. The anxiety scores of pregnant women who were healthcare workers was 48.30 ± 12.27.

Pearson test was used for correlation analysis, ordinal variables were analyzed with Spearman correlation test. State anxiety is higher, if the participant is woman, has an acquaintance with the COVID-19 positivity, has a chronic medical condition and currently receiving or has history of psychiatric treatment. Age, monthly income, trait anxiety level and somatosensory amplification are also factors related to state anxiety.
