This study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the CSI in a clinical sample of children and adolescents.Materials and methods: The study sample consisted of 52 children and adolescents diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder in the 8-17 age group and their families. As a structured diagnostic interview, the Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA) was applied to all participants included in the research. Hoarding disorder (HD) diagnosis was made clinically by considering the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria. The Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive- Compulsive Scale Symptom Checklist (CY-BOCS) was administered by an experienced clinician. The parents and children filled out the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Child Version (OCI-CV) and CSI scales independently.Results: The 20-item CSI Turkish version demonstrated good internal consistency. This 4-factor structure of the scale was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. Children's Saving Inventory showed convergent and discriminant validity with the OCI-CV and CY-BOCS subscales, and the higher CSI total scores in children and adolescents diagnosed with HD confirmed the construct validity.Conclusion: These findings support the use of the CSI Turkish version as a valid and reliable scale to investigate the hoarding behavior of children and adolescents in a clinical sample. In addition, the CSI Turkish version is currently the only validated instrument to evaluate hoarding behavior in children and adolescents, as rated by parents in Türkiye.","PeriodicalId":53592,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Medicine","volume":"55 3","pages":"243-248"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10724780/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71429065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the long-term and postradiotherapy changes in blood flow of buried de-epitelized flaps in breast reconstruction by using the quantitative values obtained through superb microvascular imaging.Materials and methods: Retrospective review of the 14 patients who underwent nipple-sparing breastconserving surgery and immediately breast reconstruction with a de-epitelized extended latissimus dorsi flap was done. In order to demonstrate the effect of radiotherapy on flaps microvascular circulation, patients were evaluated using superb microvascular imaging postoperative first week, first month, and postradiotherapy first week and sixth month. The normal distribution of the data was evaluated with the Shapiro-Wilk test. Paired samples t-test was used for comparisons.Results: According to the paired samples t-tests, postoperative first week mean vascular index was higher than postoperative first month and postradiotherapy first week (P < .05). Besides, postradiotherapy first week mean vascular index was higher than postoperative first month and also than postradiotherapy sixth month (P < .05).Conclusion: Radiotherapy can affect the results of breast reconstruction by endothelial and fibrotic injury. In this study, the changes in the microvascular circulation of the latissimus dorsi flap were discussed and found to increase at postoperative and postradiotherapy early period related to inflammation and not decreased significantly at long-term follow-up after radiotherapy.","PeriodicalId":53592,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Medicine","volume":"55 3","pages":"213-217"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10724750/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71429067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There were a total of 24 questions on the survey. The first section included 5 questions collecting demographic data, and the second part encompassed 19 questions about the YouTube nerve block videos.Results: Among the participants, 232 of practitioners (86.9%) performed peripheral nerve blocks, and only 35 practitioners (13.1%) had no experience of nerve blocks so and used YouTube videos for educational purposes. According to our results, YouTube videos frequently improved performance. In addition, YouTube improved the training of practitioners in terms of the type of block procedure, identifying anatomical landmarks, target structures like nerves and blood vessels, needle visualization, needle depth, and patient position.Conclusion: YouTube contributes to the performance of regional anesthesia and to learning at all academic levels. It should not be forgotten that such videos are not peer reviewed by professionals in the relevant field.","PeriodicalId":53592,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Medicine","volume":"55 3","pages":"208-212"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10724838/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71429069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, molecular pathways of 7,8-dihydroxyflavone for hepatocarcinoma are uncertain. Our aim was to identify the impact of 7,8-dihydroxyflavone on human hepatocarcinoma.Material and methods: Human hepatocarcinoma cell line-7 cells were used as human hepatocarcinoma cells, and 7,8-dihydroxyflavone was applied to the cells at various doses. The cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of 7,8-dihydroxyflavone were determined with Alamar Blue and flow cytometry. The properties of 7,8-dihydroxyflavone on the mRNA expressions related with Bcl-2, Bax, cleaved-caspase-3 genes, and protein expressions were determined via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis, respectively.Results: 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone-enhanced cell death in human hepatocarcinoma cell line-7 via the overexpression of cleaved-caspase-3 (P=.003) and decreased Bcl-2 (P=.038) protein levels. Furthermore, cleavedcaspase-3 mRNA overexpression (P=.001) markedly led to 7,8-dihydroxyflavone-induced apoptosis.Conclusion: 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone could promote apoptotic cell death by modulating caspase pathways and suppressing antiapoptotic protein. These characteristics may mediate to clinical practice of 7,8-dihydroxyflavone for prevention and therapy of hepatocarcinoma.","PeriodicalId":53592,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Medicine","volume":"55 3","pages":"199-203"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10724746/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71429142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
