Investigation of Undercover Systems in Terms of Structural Criteria in Aydin Region

WOS: 000572511700007Undercovered activities in Turkey have been developed due to ecological conditions, and have become widespread in the Aegean Region, especially in the Mediterranean coast, where the climate is favorable. in the province of Aydin in the Aegean Region, 45 farmers engaged in undercover farming determined by the Aydin Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry were surveyed and mesurement and photographing of structures were studied. in the survey, the structural system used in undercover cultivation and their structural characteristics were determined. Common problems encountered in under covered structures were identified. Information on heating, heat preservation, irrigation, ventilation, cooling and illumination of undercovered structures were obtained. As a result of the research, the structural features and competencies of the undercover production systems in the region were determined and suggestions for the development of these structures were presented. It has been evaluated whether the recent developments and changes of undercover enterprises are reflected in the traditional undergone production in Aydin region and the current situation of undercover structures in recent years has been evaluated

The Investigation of Protective Effects of the Panax ginseng on Oxidative Damage Induced by Chronic Fluoride Toxicity in Mice Testis Tissue

The aim Of this Study was to investigate the effects of Panax ginseng (PG) on antioxidant activity in testis tissue Of healthy mice. In the Study, totally 40 adult male Swiss albino mice were randomly divided into 4 equal groups; each group containing 10 mice. These groups were divided as control (group K, only drinking water), fluoride (group F, 40 mg F/lt/day flouride), fluoride + Panax ginseng (group F+PG, 40 mg F/lt/day fluoride +100 mg/kg/day PG) and Panax ginseng (group PG, 100 mg/kg/day PG). At the end of the experimental period (30 days), the mice were sacrifed by cervical dislocation. Lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde, MDA), the activities of glutathione (GSH), glutathione-peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were investigated in testis tissues. Also were examined histological changes occured in testes tissue. In fluoride treated mice were observed significant increases in MDA levels and marked decreases in GSH, GSH-Px and SOD activities (p<0.05), and was determined damage of cell integrity in wall of tubuli seminiferous contorti and decrease to density of spermatozoon in epididymal lumen in compared to the control group. Panax ginseng treatment was significantly blocked the increases of MDA level and the decreases of GSH, GSH-Px and SOD activities (P<0.05). Also, the degenerative changes and the decreases of spermatozoon density induced by fluoride administration were ameliorated with PG treatments. As a result, fluoride may affect spermatogenesis by enhancing lipid peroxidation, and this injury can be decreased with PG treatment

Low-dose natural human interferon-alpha lozenges in the treatment of Behcet's syndrome

Objectives. There had been evidence that low-dose local IFN could be beneficial in the management of recurrent oral ulcers (OUs). We investigated the efficacy and collected initial data on the safety of low-dose natural human IFN-alpha administered by the oral mucosal route in Behcet's syndrome (BS) in a placebo controlled, double blind study
