Basic physical properties of the low-temperature contact binary system V781 Tau and the near-contact binary system V836 Cyg

WOS: 000232867000019We present a detailed photometric study of the low-temperature contact binary V781 Tau, and the near-contact binary V836 Cyg. We have combined the parameters obtained from the light-curve analysis with those found by the spectral studies and we have determined the orbital and physical parameters of the stars. We have collected the times of the mid-eclipses obtained so far and combined with the times obtained in this study. By analysing all these data we determined the mass transfer rate from the massive star to the less massive one for V781 Tau, and from the less massive component to the massive one in the case of V836 Cyg. Finally, we have compared the results obtained for V781 Tau and for V836 Cyg with similar systems.We present a detailed photometric study of the low-temperature contact binary V781 Tau, and the near-contact binary V836 Cyg.

The frequencies of mutated alleles of CYP2D6 gene in a Turkish population

PubMedID: 22910059Allele and genotype frequency distribution of CYP2D6*3, *4, *5, *6 and *10 variants were analyzed in blood samples of 100 unrelated healthy individuals by Real-Time PCR.The allele frequencies of CYP2D6*3(A2549del), *4(G1846A), *6(T1707del) and *10(C100T) were 1%, 10%, 2.5% and 14.5% respectively, while allele frequency of CYP2D6*5 was 3% of the subjects tested.Extensive, poor and intermediate metabolizer (EM, PM, IM) genotype frequencies were 63%, 4% and 12%, respectively. CYP2D6 gene duplication was 4%.Our results show that the frequencies of the mutated alleles of CYP2D6 in Turkish populations are similar to some European populations.4% of Turkish people who have two nonfunctional defective allele are a high risk group and 12.5% of Turkish people who have two decreased functional defective allele or one normal and one non functional defective allele were also in the risk group. Findings of this study demonstrate the importance of genetic variation in drug intoxicants. © 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.TF2010-33This study was supported by the Research Fund of the University of Cukurova (project number: TF2010-33) .

Mitochondrial DNA control region haplotype and haplogroup diversity in South Eastern Turkey

PubMedID: 27479879Despite its large geographic and population size only little is known about the mitochondrial (mt)DNA make up of Turkey.orensically relevant data are almost completely absent in the literature. We analyzed the mtDNA control region of 224 volunteers from South Eastern Turkey and compared the data to populations from neighboring countries. The haplotypes will be made available via the EMPOP database (EMP00670) and contribute to the body of forensic mtDNA data. © 2016 Elsevier Ireland LtdTF2010-32This study was supported by the Research Fund of the University of Cukurova (project number: TF2010-32) and the Institute of Legal Medicine, Medical University of Innsbruck (EMPOP).

Comparative assessment of the diagnostic value of neopterin and acute phase proteins in angiographically assessed stable coronary artery disease

WOS: 000221890100005Assessment of markers of systemic inflammation, such as acute-phase reactants C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen and ceruloplasmin, sialic acid, a major component of these proteins and neopterin, a specific marker of cellular immune activation, in clinically stable coronary artery disease, may contribute to staging and risk stratification. These markers were measured in 225 consecutive stable coronary artery disease patients before undergoing coronary angiography. According to their angiographic scores 32 patients were designated as having minor, 34 moderate and 96 severe coronary artery disease. 63 patients with negative angiograms were taken as the anglographic controls. High sensitive-CRP (hs-CRP) and fibrinogen were found to be higher in patients with angiographically established coronary artery disease, than in angiographic controls (p < 0.05) and correlated with the severity and extent of disease. Ceruloplasmin and sialic acid concentrations did not differ between patients with and without angiographically established coronary artery disease. Serum neopterin levels were sigificantly higher in patients undergoing coronary angiography than in healthy controls. Neopterin levels were similar between the different subgroups of coronary artery disease, suggesting that neopterin determinations do not contribute to the assessment of the presence and severity of disease in clinically stable patients. In stable angina, serum hs-CRP and plasma fibrinogen levels proved to be more effective than ceruloplasmin, sialic acid and neopterin in discriminating between patients with positive and negative angiograms and various degrees of coronary artery disease, thus in pointing out to increased risk. Our results, do not support the inclusion of neopterin in risk assessment of stable coronary artery disease
