Methods: DOX conjugation was carried out in two different media [dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and methanol-trifluoroacetic acid (MeOH-TFA)]. The amount of conjugated drug was determined with two different methods. One method was applied the dissolution of the conjugate in chloroform: methanol (Ch: MeOH, 1: 1 v/v) solution without considering pH responsiveness, and the other method was after breaking pH sensitive hydrazone bonds in acidic medium [using three different media as 0.1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl), concentrated HCl (12 M HCl) and concentrated sulfuric acid (18.3 M H2SO4)]. Results: The highest conjugation efficiency was obtained when the conjugation was achieved in MeOH-TFA solution, and for the polymer-drug conjugates after the treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid. recognized by immune system rapidly (12). On the other hand, PEG is hydrophilic and can escape from the immune system. Scientists prepared or used copolymers or tri-block-polymers of PEG and PCL and prepared either nanoparticles or micelles as drug delivery vehicles and evaluated in vitro and in vivo properties (13). Gong et al studied affinity of PEG-PCL-PEG micelles (14). Hu et al prepared micelles and polymersomes from PCL-PEG-PCL polymers to be used as drug carriers (15). Cytotoxic properties of Doxorubicin loaded PEG-PCL micelles prepared with functionalized PEGs were evaluated by Chen et al. and promising results were reported (16). An accurate determination of drug conjugation is important since higher dose given to a patient may create some unwanted symptoms like cardiomyopathy.

There are numerous types of cancer related with different frequencies and mortality rate. Ovarian cancer is the seventh common type of cancer worldwide and is the fifth cause of cancer-related death. Although there are standard treatment methods for cancer types, people give different responses to these treatment methods. In spite of all the treatment strategy developed, ovarian cancer still has a high mortality rate. For this reason, it is very important to better understand the drug resistance mechanisms that prevent the effecttiveness of today’s treatment methods, to develop new treatment methods and the determination of molecular characterization. In recent years, research has focused on methods containing pathway analysis within the scope of developing targeted therapy strategies for ovarian cancer. In this context, the activity status of onco-proteins in pathways such as WNT, Hedgehog and NOTCH signaling pathways were evaluated. In addition, the innovative treatment efficiency of Nanog protein and photodynamic therapy options on ovarian cancer has been detailed in recent years.

Farklı görülme sıklığı ve ölüm oranları ile ilişkili birçok kanser türü vardır. Yumurtalık kanseri dünya genelinde yaygınlık olarak yedinci sırada gelmekte olup kansere bağlı ölüm nedeni olarak beşinci sırada gelmektedir. Kanser türlerinin kendi içinde standart tedavi yöntemleri olmasına rağmen bireyler bu tedavi yöntemlerine farklı cevaplar vermektedir. Geliştirilen tüm tedavi stratejilerine rağmen yumurtalık kanseri hala yüksek ölüm oranına sahiptir. Bu sebeple günümüzdeki tedavi yöntemlerinin etkinliğini engelleyen ilaca karşı oluşan direnç mekanizmalarını kavramak, yeni tedavi yöntemleri geliştirmek ve moleküler karakterizasyonunu belirlemek oldukça önemlidir. Son yıllarda oldukça gündeme gelen yumurtalık kanserinde hedefe yönelik terapi stratejileri geliştirilmesi kapsamında yolak analizleri üzerine odaklanılmıştır. Bu kapsamda onkoproteinlerin WNT, Hedgehog ve NOTCH sinyal yolağı gibi yolaklardaki etkinlik durumları değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca, son yıllarda etkinliği belirlenmiş Nanog proteini ve fotodinamik tedavi seçeneklerinin yumurtalık kanseri üzerindeki yenilikçi tedavi etkinliği detaylandırılmıştır.

However, in this procedure, infections, which often cause patient deaths, may develop due to catheter application. These infections are detected by monitoring the blood and/or catheter cultures of the patients. In the study, an analysis of the blood culture results of patients with CRF undergoing hemodialysis was performed in order to contribute to the epidemiological data. Methods: In this study, the culture results of patients who were thought to have catheter infection in the Hemodialysis Unit of SBU Samsun Training and Research Hospital between 2017 and 2020 were evaluated retrospectively. Blood cultures sent to the laboratory were incubated in the hemoculture organisms isolated from blood cultures were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.4%), Enterococcus faecalis (3.6%), E. coli , Enterobacter cloacae complex (3.6%), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (1.8%). Of the coagulase-negative staphylococci, 17 (70.8%) were resistant to penicillin and 18 (75.0) to methicillin. Of the S. aureus strains, 3 (50.0%) were found to be resistant to penicillin and 3 (50.0%) to methicillin. A statistically significant difference was found between CNS and S. aureus growth in blood cultures (p<0.05). Conclusion: High rates of bacteria were isolated from blood cultures of hemodialysis patients in our hospital. This result makes it necessary to draw attention to aseptic conditions in the hemodialysis process. Monitoring of blood and catheter cultures, detection of causative agents and evaluation of antibiogram results will play a key role in preventing infections and taking necessary precautions in hemodialysis patients.","PeriodicalId":35553,"journal":{"name":"Turk hijiyen ve deneysel biyoloji dergisi.

Gram negative bacteria are frequently isolated as causative agents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of the gram negative bacteria isolated from blood cultures in our hospital. Methods: Gram negative bacteria isolated from blood culture samples sent to the microbiology laboratory between 2016-2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The blood cultures were performed by BacT/ALERT 3D (bioMérieux, France) and Render-BC128 (China). Bacterial identification and antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed using conventional methods and BD Phoenix 100 (BD Phoenix System, Beckton Dickinson, ABD) automated systems. Results: A total of 10,315 blood cultures obtained from hospitalized patients between (95.4%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ciprofloxacin (26.1%). The most susceptible antibiotics were carbapenems and amikasin for Enterobacterales , amikasin and gentamycin for P. aeruginosa , amikasin and trimethoprim-sulfamethaxazole for A.baumannii . Conclusion: In our study, the frequency of gram-negative bacteria growth in blood culture was found to be 27.5%, similar to literature data. It was observed that the determined bacterial distribution was compatible with different studies. Blood culture is the most important test in the diagnosis of bacteremia and in directing the right treatment. The distribution of microorganisms isolated in bacteremia and their antibiotic resistance rates changes by center. For this reason, it was think that each hospital should determine its own data at regular intervals and guide antibiotic selection according to these results.","PeriodicalId":35553,"journal":{"name":"Turk hijiyen ve deneysel biyoloji dergisi.
