In the experiment, 3 tritordeum varieties (EKA-1, EKA-2 and EKA-3), 2 bread wheat varieties (Köksal- 2000 and NKÜ Lider), 2 durum wheat varieties (Pınar-2001 and NKÜ Ziraat), 2 barley cultivars (Oberek and Ramata) and 2 Triticale cultivars (Tatlıcak-97 and Collegial) were used. As a result of the study, Tatlıcak-97 triticale variety has the longest plant height and spike length with 124.93 cm and 11.20 cm, and Tatlıcak-97 and Collegial triticale varieties have the highest spikelet number/spike with 29.40. The highest result was obtained from Collegial triticale variety with 54.90 grains for number of grains per spike, NKU Ziraat durum wheat variety with the highest grain weight of 1.96 g, and Oberek barley variety with the highest 1000-grain weight characteristic of 52.06 g, the highest result in terms of hectoliter weight from NKU Ziraat. It was obtained from durum wheat variety (80.76 kg/hl). The highest values in terms of protein content, sedimentation rate and gluten content were obtained from EKA-1 Tritordeum variety as 11.92%, 34.66 ml and 34.40%, respectively. In terms of grain yield, it is seen that Oberek barley variety has the highest grain yield with 883,16 kg/da. As a result, it was determined that EKA-2 cultivar had a grain yield value of 547.00 kg/da among Tritordeum cultivars, and EKA-1 Tritordeum cultivar had the highest values when its quality values were taken into account. It was concluded that these two Tritordeum cultivars can be evaluated in production in Bursa ecological conditions

The impact of childhood obesity on iron deficiency and its relationship with hepcidin, leptin, interleukin-6

WOS: 000392950600003Objective: The relationship between iron deficiency, and obesity has been shown in recent years. The reason is thought to be the anemia of chronic disease caused by chronic inflammation originating from adipose tissue. Our aim is to determine the relationship between obesity and iron deficiency, the place of hepcidin in iron homeostasis, and inflammation occurring in obesity, and also demonstrate its effect of the parametres of iron metabolism in obese children. Methods: This study was performed with 54 obese (body mass index (BMI)>95p) and 51 normal weighted (BMI: 5-95p) children aged between 5-16 years. In two groups serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), ferritin, hemoglobin, transferrin saturation index (TSI), interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), leptin and hepcidin were studied. Results: When compared with the control group; decreased serum iron (p=0.004), hemoglobin (Hb) (p=0.010), TSI (p=0.001), increased hepcidin (p=0.001), TDBK (p=0.041), leptin (p=0.001), CRP (p=0.001) levels were found in obese children. In 18 cases (%33.3) decreased levels of Hb were detected, while in 8 of these cases (% 14.8) the parameters were found compatible with iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Five cases (% 9.2) were accepted as anemia of chronic disease. In the obese group the number of patients with IDA was found statistically significantly higher (p=0.032). Besides higher BMI (p=0.001), however decreased hepcidin (p=0.008), and ferritin (p=0.006) levels were detected in anemia patients. Conclusion: In our study obesity was found to be associated with iron deficiency. The effect of hepcidin was shown to be the cause of iron deficiency. Every study to be performed in order to understand the relationship between inflammation, obesity and erythropoiesis will contribute to the development of nutritional, and/or pharmacological therapies with the aim to prevent the onset of iron deficiency in obese patients

The impact of childhood obesity on iron deficiency and its relationship with hepcidin, leptin, interleukin-6

Amaç: Obezitenin son yıllarda demir eksikliği ile ilişkisi gösterilmiştir. Bunun nedeni olarak adipoz doku kaynaklı oluşan kronik inflamasyonun neden olduğu düşünülmüştür. İnflamasyonla hepsidin artışı çesitli çalışmalarda gösterilmiştir. Çalışmamızda, obezite ve demir eksikliği arasındaki ilişki, obezitede hepsidin ve leptinin demir homeostazında yeri ve obezitede oluşan inflamasyonun saptanıp demir parametrelerine etkisinin gösterilmesi amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Elli dört obez (vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ)>95p) ve 51 normal kiloda (VKİ: 5p-95p) olan 5-16 yaş arası çocuklarda yapılan bir olgu kontrol çalışmasıdır. İki grupta demir, total demir bağlama kapasitesi (TDBK), ferritin, tam kan sayımı, transferrin saturasyon indeksi (TSİ), interlökin-6 (IL-6), C- reaktif protein (CRP), leptin ve hepsidin çalışıldı. Bulgular: Obez grup kontrol grubuyla karşılaştırıldığında, azalmış serum demir (p=0,004), hemoglobin (Hb) (p=0,010), TSİ (p=0,001) düzeyi, artmış hepsidin (p=0,001), TDBK (p=0,041), leptin (p=0,001), CRP (p=0,001) düzeyleri bulundu. Obez grubunda Hb düzeyleri 18 (%33,3) olguda düşük saptanırken, bunların 8 (%14,8)'inde demir eksikliği anemisi (DEA) ile uyumlu parametreler saptanmıştır. Beş (%9,2) olgu ise kronik hastalık anemisi kabul edilmiştir. Obez grubunda DEA saptananların sayısı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek saptanmıştır (p=0,032). Hasta grubu Hb düzeyine göre karşılaştırıldığında, anemisi olan olguların VKİ'nin artmış (p=0,001), hepsidin (p=0,008) ve ferritin (p=0,006) düzeylerinin ise azalmış olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, demir eksikliği ile obezite birbiriyle ilişkili bulundu. Demir eksikliği nedeni olarak hepsidinin etkisi gösterildi. Obezite, inflamasyon ve eritropoez arasındaki ilişkiyi anlamaya yönelik olarak yapılacak her çalışma, obez hastalarda demir eksikliği ortaya çıkmasını engellemek için nütrisyonel ve/veya farmakolojik terapiler geliştirilmesine katkı sağlayacaktır.Objective: The relationship between iron deficiency, and obesity has been shown in recent years.

Henoch-Schonlein purpura: A case with involvement of the penis and scrotum

Henoch-Schönlein purpurası (HSP), artrit / artralji, gastrointestinal ve genitoüriner sistem tutulumunun eşlik ettiği non- trombositopenik purpura ile karakterize, çocukluk çağının en sık görülen vaskülitidir. Genitoüriner sistem tutulumu olan olgularda hem skrotum hem de penis etkilenmesi oldukça nadirdir. Bu yazıda, tipik deri bulguları, eklem bulguları, skrotum ve penis tutulumu olan üç buçuk yaşındaki bir erkek olgu sunulmak istenmiştir. Hastada prednizolon ve ibuprofen tedavisi ile dört günde tamamen iyileşme sağlanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, penis ve skrotum tutulumu gösteren HSP olgularında, tartışmalı olmakla birlikte, ibuprofen ve steroid tedavisi uygulanabilir.Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), characterized by non-thrombocytopenic purpura accompanied by arthritis / arthralgia, gastrointestinal and genitourinary system involvement is the most common vasculitis in childhood. In case of genitourinary system involvement, the involvement of both the scrotum and the penis is very rare. In this report, a 3.5 year-old boy with typical skin symptoms, joint symptoms, scrotum and penis involvement is presented. In this patient, prednisolon and ibuprofen treatment has resulted in the resolution of the symptoms in four days. In conclusion, ibuprofen and steroid treatment could be administered in HSP children with penile and scrotum involvement although controversial

Morphologic evaluations of hypoglossal canal using cone beam computed tomography

Hypoglossal canal (HC) which begins from very slightly above the inner part of the anterolateral portion of the foramen magnum and is located above the occipital condyle of the occipital bone. The aim of this study is to examine HC morphology and variations using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The morphology and types of HC were investigated with 303 CBCT images (606 side). Type 1 variation in 606 HC examined becomes the most commonly observed type (57.3%) while type 5 variation was the least common type of variation (0.8%). Type 1 HC was statistically higher in males (p=0.004). Because of HC, which is an anthropologically important point and enters the field of images in CBCT scan, it is recommended that dental radiologists should be aware of their variations and be wary of the pathologies that may occur in this region
