    Su insanlık tarihinde yaşamsal öneme sahip olmasıyla birlikte dinler için de önemli anlamlar taşımaktadır. İslamiyet’te temizliğin önemi ve ibadetlerden önce abdest almanın zorunlu olması, dini yapılanmalarda veya kamusal alanlarda bu görevin yerine getirilebilmesi için şadırvan yapıları inşa edilmesi sonucunu doğurmuştur. Bu çalışmada şadırvan yapılarının gelişim süreci ifade edilmiş olup Konya ilinde seçilen 15 adet şadırvan yapısının tarihsel süreci bağlamında sınıflandırma çalışması yapılmıştır. Seçilen şadırvan yapılarının antropometrik verilere göre ergonomik parametreleri incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda şadırvan tasarımı için belirli ölçüt ve kriterler olmadığı için incelenen şadırvan yapılarının verileri çeşitlilik gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Şadırvan yapılarının problemlerine yönelik öneriler ile gelecekte yapılacak olan şadırvan yapıları için, insan odaklı potansiyelinin geliştirilmesi gerektiği konunun orijinal yönünü oluşturmaktadır

    Ekici, Husamettin/0000-0001-6403-737XWOS:000564411900010Melamine and its metabolites pose health concern as they are used in various industrial products including feed and drugs. There are a limited number of studies on melamine and cyanuric acid cytotoxicity and cellular damage without a certain conclusion. The present study aimed to evaluate melamine, cyanuric acid and its combined cytotoxic effects using 3-(4.5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl) methyl thiazole tetrazolium (MTT) bromide test. The study also evaluated apoptotic and necrotic effect using a double staining method of Hoechst 33342 and propidium iodide. Melamine, cyanuric acid and their combination (1:1) were applied to L929 fibroblasts and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells at various concentrations (1000 mu g/mL, 500 mu g/mL, 250 mu g/mL, 125 mu g/mL and 62.5 mu g/mL). At the highest concentration (1000 mu g/mL), the cell viability dropped down approximately to 50% both in CHO cells and L929 cells. Melamine, cyanuric acid and their mixture caused cytotoxicity in CHO cells and L929 fibroblasts in dose-dependent manner Cell death occurred through both apoptosis and mainly necrosis. Both cell types were more sensitive to the mixture of melamine and cyanuric acid and, furthermore, CHO cells were more sensitive than L929 fibroblasts. As a result, melamine, cyanuric acid and their combination caused cytotoxicity in CHO cells and L929 fibroblasts. Further studies should be conducted in different cell lines. These studies should also aim to reveal the mechanism of cytotoxicity and related pathways

    Background and Aim: To evaluate the release kinetics of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-6 or -7 loaded nanoparticles (NPs) that located inside the microparticles (MPs) carrying platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and test this NP-in-MP system with MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells. Materials and Methods: Poly-lactic acid-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) NPs was loaded with BMP-6 or -7 and inserted in sodium alginate MPs loaded with PDGF. To evaluate the osteoblastic effect; proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells that were treated with BMP-6, -7 and PDGF free solutions (FS) or within the particles (BMP-6 or -7 loaded PLGA NP alone and BMP-6 or -7 loaded PLGA NP in PDGF loaded alginate MP) were assessed at 2, 4, 7, 14 and 21 days. Results: It was shown that while both NP and NP-in-MP systems showed similar burst release at first time periods; especially in 24-72 h time period, NP-in-MP system exhibited a sustained release profile till 14th day. According to proliferation experiments, till the 7th day, both particle and FS groups exhibited similar profiles, but after that time particle groups, especially BMP-7 NP in PDGF MP, reached to statistically higher cell numbers than FS groups. NP-in-MP system exhibited a gradually longer time factor release resulting with delayed but elongated cell proliferation period. Conclusion: Findings indicate that NP-in-MP system might be promising in future for mimicking the natural bone formation process by providing sequential release of PDGF and BMPs, for bone tissue engineering. More comprehensive experiments evaluating mineralization and gene expression profile is necessary to verify these resultsAmaç: Mevcut çalışma trombosit kaynaklı büyüme faktörü (platelet-derived growth factor, PDGF) taşıyan mikropartiküller (MP) içerisine hapsedilmiş nanopartiküller (NP)'den kemik morfogenetik protein (bone morphogenetic protein, BMP)6 veya -7'nin salım kinetiğini değerlendirmek ve bu sistemi MC3T3-E1 osteoblastik hücreleri ile test etmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Polilaktik asit-glikolik asit (PLGA) NP'ler BMP-6 veya BMP-7 ile yüklenmiş ve PDGF ile doldurulmuş sodyum aljinat MP'lere yerleştirilmiştir. Osteoblastik etkiyi değerlendirmek için serbest veya partiküller içerisinde yüklü (BMP-6 veya BMP-7 yüklenmiş PLGA NP ile PDGF yüklenmiş aljinat MP içerisinde BMP-6 veya BMP-7 yüklenmiş PLGA NP) BMP-6, -7 ve PDGF ile muamele edilip 2, 4, 7, 14 ve 21. günlerde incelenmiştir. Bulgular: İlk zaman periyotlarında hem NP hem de MP içerisinde NP sistemleri benzer patlayıcı salım miktarı gösterirken özellikle 24-72 saat zaman diliminde MP içerisinde NP sistemi 14. güne kadar uzamış bir salım profili ortaya koymuştur. Proliferasyon deneylerine göre 7. Güne kadar her iki partikül grubu ve serbest solüsyon grupları benzer profiller oluşturmuştur ancak bu periyottan sonra özellikle PDGF MP içerisinde BMP-7 NP grubu olmak üzere partikül grupları, FS gruplarına kıyasla istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde daha fazla hücre sayısına ulaşmıştır. MP içinde NP sistemi ise dereceli ve daha uzun süren bir faktör salımı yaparak gecikmiş ve uzamış bir yüksek hücre proliferasyon periyodu sağlamıştır. Sonuç: Mevcut deneylerin bulguları MP içinde NP sisteminin PDGF and BMP'lerin ardışık salımını sağlayarak gelecekte kemik doku mühendisliğinde doğal kemik formasyon sürecini taklit edebileceği konusunda ümit vermektedir. Ancak bu sonuçları doğrulamak için mineralizasyon ve gen ekspresyon profillerini içeren daha kapsamlı deneylere ihtiyaç vardı

    KISA, Ucler/0000-0002-8131-6810; Soyer, Tutku/0000-0003-1505-6042WOS: 000429301400046PubMed: 28693848Purpose: To investigate the effects of penile tourniquet (PT) application on bacterial adhesion to urothelium. Methods: Fifty-six ratswere allocated into control group (CG), shamgroup (SG), PT group (PTG). No intervention was applied in CG. A 5mm-length urethral repair was performed in SG and PTG. In PTG, a 10-min duration of PT was applied during the procedure and the tissue oxygenation monitor was used to adjust the same degree of ischemia in all subjects. Sampleswere examined for wound healing parameters and tissue levels of inflammatory markers, eNOS, e-selectin, and ICAM-1antibodies. The adhesion of Escherichia coli to urotheliumwas investigated with in vitro adhesion assay. Results: Inflammation was higher and wound healing was worse in SG than CG and in PTG in comparison to CG and SG (p < 0.05). The endothelial damage, as shown by eNOS expression, was significantly higher in PTG compared to CG and SG (p < 0.05). The staining with ICAM-1 and e-selectin antibodies, showing increased inflammatory response to bacterial adhesion, was significantly higher in PTG compared to CG and SG (p < 0.05). In vitro urethral cell proliferation was achieved only in CG and SG revealing significantly increased adhesion in SG compared to CG (p < 0.05). The PT application caused endothelial corruption and prevented cell proliferation in cell culture. Conclusion: The PT application does not improve wound healing and increases bacterial adhesion molecules in penile tissue. The in vitro assays showed that PT causes severe endothelial damage and inhibits endothelial cell proliferation. (c) 2017 Elsevier Inc.

    No full text
    Various studies conducted on Centaurea species indicate that the relevant plant is good source of bioactive phytochemicals. In this study, in vitro studies were used to determine bioactivity properties of methanol extract of Centaurea mersinensis - endemic species in Turkey - on extensive basis. Furthermore, the interaction of target molecules, identified for breast cancer and phytochemicals in the extract, was investigated via in silico analyses to support findings received in vitro. Scutellarin, quercimeritrin, chlorogenic acid and baicalin were primary phytochemicals in the extract. Methanol extract and scutellarin had higher cytotoxic effects against MCF-7 (IC50=22.17 µg/mL, and IC50=8.25 µM, respectively), compared to other breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231, SKBR-3). The extract had strong antioxidant properties and inhibited target enzymes, especially α-amylase (371.69 mg AKE/g extract). The results of molecular docking indicate that main compounds of extract show high-strength bonding to the c-Kit tyrosine among target molecules identified in breast cancer, compared to other target molecules (MMP-2, MMP-9, VEGFR2 kinase, Aurora-A kinase, HER2). The tyrosinase kinase (1T46)-Scutellarin complex showed considerable stability in 150 ns simulation as per MD findings, and it was coherent with optimal docking findings. Docking findings and HOMO-LUMO analysis results corresponds with in vitro experiments. Medicinal properties of phytochemicals, which was determined to be suitable for oral use along with ADMET, were found to be within normal limits except for their polarity properties. In conclusion, in vitro and in silico studies indicated that the relevant plant yields promising results regarding its potential to develop novel and effective medicational products.
