Article Citation - WoS: 5The Evaluation of Serum Endocan, Interleukin-6, and Crp Levels Following Sleeve Gastrectomy(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2023) Sariyildiz, Gulcin Turkmen; Demir, Canan Cicek; Demir, Mehmet Emin; Arslan, Aykut Ilker; Banli, Oktay; Dursun, Ali DoganBackground: The excessive accumulation of fat tissue in obesity is the source of chronic low-level inflammation and causes future dysmetabolic and cardiovascular disorders. Removal of this excessive fat tissue with the aid of bariatric surgery (BS) techniques, such as sleeve gastrectomy, may reverse adverse inflammatory outcomes. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of sleeve gastrectomy on inflammatory markers, specifically endocan, IL-6, and CRP, in individuals with obesity.Methods: Thirty-two patients with class 3 obesity and class 2 obesity + comorbidities were enrolled in the study. Clinical characteristics including age, comorbidity, body mass index (BMI), waist, and hip circumferences of the participants were noted before and 3 months after sleeve gastrectomy. Blood samples were collected during those periods to assess biochemical features such as serum endocan, interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive peptide, fasting insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c levels, and lipid panel. A statistical package program was used for the analysis of those parameters, and p<0.05 was accepted as significant at a 95.0% confidence interval.Results: BMI reduced from 43.55 +/- 6.78 to 36.16 +/- 6.14 kg/m(2) within 3 months following BS (p<0.001). Preoperative serum endocan, IL-6, and CRP levels were correlated with BMI, and in line with BMI reduction, their serum levels decreased after BS (p<0.05). HOMA-IR also reduced after BS, and both in the pre and post-BS periods correlated with BMI, IL-6, endocan, and CRP levels (p<0.05). The mean total body weight loss was 20.4% within 3 months post-BS.Conclusion: BS techniques are effective in weight loss and reversing the inflammatory processes caused by obesity. Serum endocan, IL-6, and CRP levels are promising markers for describing obesity-related inflammation and objectively checking the alleviation of inflammation following BS.Article Investigation of Sars-Cov Antibody Levels After Covid-19 Vaccine in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients(Aepress Sro, 2024) Kinikli, Sami; Afsar, Fatma Elcin; Dursun, Ali Dogan; Aksoy, Altan; Karahan, Gizem; Cesur, Salih; Urtimur, UfukAIM: The aim was to compare SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody levels in chronic hepatitis B patients and healthcare personnel selected as the control group and to determine factors such as age, gender, vaccine type, and number of vaccines that may affect the antibody levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 87 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients followed in Ankara Training and Research Hospital Infectious Diseases Clinic and Mamak State Hospital Infectious Diseases outpatient clinic and 89 healthcare personnel selected as the control group were included in the study. SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody levels in the serum samples of patients and healthcare personnel who received the COVID-19 vaccine were studied with the ELISA method in the Microbiology Laboratory of Ankara Training and Research Hospital, using a commercial ELISA kit (Abbott, USA) in line with the recommendations of the manufacturer. In the study, SARS-CoV-2 IgG levels were compared in CHB patients and healthcare personnel. In addition, the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 antibody level, gender, average age, natural history of the disease, number of vaccinations, vaccine type (Coronavac TM vaccine alone, BNT162b2 vaccine alone or Coronavac TM and BNT162b2 vaccine (heterologous vaccination)), treatment duration of CHB was investigated. Statistical analyses were made in the SPSS program. A value of p <= 0.05 was considered statistically significant. FINDINGS: A total of 167 people, including 87 CKD patients and 80 healthcare personnel as the control group, were included in the study. SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody levels were detected above the cut-off level in the entire study group, regardless of the vaccine type. No difference was detected in SARS-CoV-2 IgG titers after COVID-19 vaccination between CHB patients and healthcare personnel. There was a statistically significant difference in SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody levels among individuals participating in the study according to vaccine types. Compared to those who received Coronavac TM vaccine alone, the average SARS-CoV-2 IgG level was found to be statistically significantly higher in those who received BNT162b2 vaccine alone or heterologous vaccination with Coronavac TM + BNT162b2 vaccine. There was no difference between the groups in terms of age, gender, number of vaccinations, natural transmission of the disease, and duration of antiviral therapy in the CHD patient group. CONCLUSION: As a result, SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody levels above the cut-off value were achieved with Coronavac TM and BNT162b2 vaccines in both CHD patients and healthy control groups. however, both CHD patients and healthcare personnel had higher antibody levels than those who received BNT162b2 alone or those who received heterologous vaccination had higher antibody levels than those with Coronavac TM alone. Therefore, if there are no contraindications, BNT162b2 vaccine may be preferred in CHB and health personnel (Tab. 2, Ref. 14) .Article Effectiveness of Boric Acid in Sepsis in Rats With Cecal Perforation(Springer Nature, 2025) Kurtipek, Ali Can; Dursun, Ali Dogan; Yigman, Zeynep; Ozdemir, Cagri; Kucuk, Aysegul; Gonullu, Ugur; Arslan, MustafaIntroduction and AimSepsis is a systemic inflammatory response that develops in the host against microorganisms, which results in end-organ damage. Boric acid (BA) has been shown to have immune modulatory effects in vitro and in animal studies. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of high dose BA on lung and kidney tissues in rats with sepsis induced by the CLP method.Method28 rats were randomly divided into four groups: Group C (control group), Group BA, Group CLP (cecal ligation and puncture), and Group CLP + BA. Cecum was ligated below the ileocecal valve and punctured. BA was administered to the treatment groups at an intraperitoneal dose of 200 mg/kg, and at the end of 24 h, lung and kidney tissue samples were collected and evaluated for biochemical and histopathological parameters.ResultsHistopathologically, in kidney tissue, CLP + BA group showed significantly less peritubular capillary dilatation and brush border loss in the proximal tubule epithelium compared to the CLP group. In lung tissue, CLP + BA group had significantly less alveolar wall thickening compared to the CLP group. Biochemical analyses indicated that BA administration reduced oxidative stress in both renal and lung tissues.ConclusionWe found that intraperitoneal administration of high dose boric acid partially ameliorated the tissue damage in rats subjected to CLP induced sepsis. Further studies are needed regarding the dosage and application at different time points.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Effects of Eccentric Exercise on Different Slopes(Jmni, 2019) Gokce, Evrim; Akat, Firat; Dursun, Ali Dogan; Gunes, Emel; Bayram, Pinar; Billur, Deniz; Koc, Emine; Basic SciencesObjectives: Eccentric contraction occurs when the muscle lengthens under tension. Damage-induced responses seen in the muscle after eccentric exercise usually experienced by sedentary individuals. This study aims to investigate muscle damage on different slopes. Methods: 32 male Wistar albino rats randomly divided into four groups: sedentary, horizontal running, and eccentric exercise (-8 degrees, -16 degrees) groups. Animals ran for 90 min with the speed of 25 m/s for five days. After 48h from the last exercise, rats were sacrificed, and plasma creatine kinase (CK), heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) levels were examined. Plasma and soleus total oxidant/antioxidant status (TOS-TAS) and histological changes of soleus muscle assessed. Results: CK and HSP70 significantly increased in 16 degrees EE group. TOS increased at 16 degrees EE and 8 degrees EE, but oxidative stress index (OSI) was only high at 8 degrees EE group. Mononuclear cell infiltration and the angiogenesis increased in soleus after eccentric exercise, and there was a correlation with slope. Sarcomere breaks were detected in 16 degrees EE group also in a correlation with slope. Conclusions: Consequently, sedentary individuals are vulnerable to injuries induced by eccentric contraction. Therefore, our study provides information for reconsidering rehabilitation and training programs.Article Deneysel Tip 1 Diabetes Mellitusta Aralıklı Hipoksinin Kardiyak Kas Kalsiyum Homeostazisine Etkisi(2019) Tanyeli, Ayhan; Baştuğ, Metin; Erdoğan, Derya Güzel; Dursun, Ali Doğan; Akat, Fırat; Tekin, Demet; Fıçıcılar, HakanAmaç Bu çalışmada; Deneysel diyabetik kardiyomiyopatide aralıklı hipoksinin kardiyak fosfolamban ve Ca+2- kalmodulin bağımlı protein kinaz II (CaMKII) düzeylerine etkisiaraştırıldı.

Nanomedicine uses cutting-edge technologies that emerge from interdisciplinary influences. In the literature, there are very few in vivo and in vitro studies on how cerium oxide (CeO2) affects systemic anti-inflammatory response and inflammation. Therefore, in our study, we aimed to investigate whether CeO2 administration has a protective effect against myocardial I/R injury in the liver and kidneys. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into four groups after obtaining approval from an ethics committee. A control (group C), cerium oxide (group CO), IR (group IR), and Cerium oxide-IR (CO-IR group) groups were formed. Intraperitoneal CeO2 was administered at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg 30 min before left thoracotomy and left main coronary (LAD) ligation, and myocardial muscle ischemia was induced for 30 min. After LAD ligation was removed, reperfusion was performed for 120 min. All rats were euthanized using ketamine, and blood was collected. Liver and kidney tissue samples were evaluated histopathologically. Serum AST (aspartate aminotransferase), ALT (alanine aminotransaminase), GGT (gamma-glutamyl transferase), glucose, TOS (Total Oxidant Status), and TAS (Total Antioxidant Status) levels were also measured. Results: Necrotic cell and mononuclear cell infiltration in the liver parenchyma of rats in the IR group was observed to be significantly increased compared to the other groups. Hepatocyte degeneration was greater in the IR group compared to groups C and CO. Vascular vacuolization and hypertrophy, tubular degeneration, and necrosis were increased in the kidney tissue of the IR group compared to the other groups. Tubular dilatation was significantly higher in the IR group than in the C and CO groups. TOS was significantly higher in all groups than in the IR group (p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001, and p = 0.006, respectively). However, TAS level was lower in the IR group than in the other groups (p = 0.002, p = 0.020, and p = 0.031, respectively). Renal and liver histopathological findings decreased significantly in the CO-IR group compared to the IR group. A decrease in the TOS level and an increase in the TAS level were found compared to the IR group. The AST, ALT, GGT, and Glucose levels are shown. Conclusions: CeO2 administered before ischemia-reperfusion reduced oxidative stress and ameliorated IR-induced damage in distant organs. We suggest that CeO2 exerts protective effects in the myocardial IR model.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 12Protective Effects of Hydrogen Rich Saline Solution in Rats With Experimental Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion Injury(Cell Press, 2023) Koksal, Zeynep; Kurtipek, Omer; Arslan, Mustafa; Dursun, Ali Dogan; Yigman, Zeynep; Ozer, AbdullahAim: The aim of our study is to show whether the administration of hydrogen-rich saline solution (HRSS) intraperitoneally before left main coronary artery (LAD) ischemia protects the myocardium against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury.Materials and methods: After ethics committee approval, 24 Wistar Albino rats were divided into 4 groups, 6 rats in each group. For experimental IR, myocardial ischemia was performed by LAD ligation. Left thoracotomy was performed without ischemia in the Control group (Group C). Left thoracotomy was performed without myocardial ischemia to the rats in the HRSS group, and HRSS was given intraperitoneally (ip) at a rate of 10 ml/kg throughout the procedure. In the MIRHRSS group, a single dose of 10 ml/kg HRSS was administered 5 min before reperfusion. Histopathological and biochemical parameters were compared in myocardial tissue samples taken at the end of the reperfusion period.Results: When the groups were compared among themselves in terms of TOS and TAS levels, there was a significant difference between the groups (p = 0.006, p = 0.002). The severity of cardiomyocyte degeneration was significantly greater in MIR group than that in the control and HRSS groups (p = 0.002 and p = 0.001, respectively), as well as severity score of cardiomyocyte degeneration was higher in MIR-HRSS group compared with HRSS group (p = 0.035).Conclusion: Our study shows that HRSS is protective in IR injury, with the application of HRSS 5 min before reperfusion, interstitial edema severity, subendocardial haemorrhage are reduced, and oxidant status parameters are increased, while antioxidant status parameters are decreased. We believe that when it is supported by other studies, the protective effects of HRSS on IR damage will be shown in detail and its indications will be expanded.Article Enhancement of Paclitaxel Therapeutic Effect by Aptamer Targeted Delivery in Plga Nanoparticles(2021) Dursun, Ali; Dursun, Ali Doğan; Ucak, Samet; Özalp, Veli Cengiz; Poyraz, Fatma Sayan; Yilmaz, Elif; Mansuroglu, Banu; Ozalp, Veli Cengiz; Dursun, Ali Doğan; Özalp, Veli Cengiz; Basic Sciences; Basic SciencesObjectives: Paclitaxel is a drug molecule used in the therapy of various cancer types, including breast cancer. It is one of the preferred chemotherapy agent due to its high efficacy. However, many side effects have been observed associ- ated with paclitaxel use such as allergy, hair loss, diarrhea and pain. Methods: We evaluated therapeutic efficacy of paclitaxel when it is actively targeted to breast cancer tumours inside a polymeric nanoparticle. Targeted delivery of paclitaxel to tumour sites has been reported as an improved cytotoxicity strategy with a variety of nanoparticles. In this study, poly Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA) nanoparticles were used as drug carrier and nucleolin aptamers as affinity targeting agents. Results: Paclitaxel molecules were entrapped during the synthesis of PLGA nanoparticles of 238 nm in diameter. The encapsulation and loading efficiencies of paclitaxel was 97% and 21% respectively. The paclitaxel loaded PLGA nanoparticles were functionalized with nucleolin aptamers and their targeting ability to cultured mouse cancer cells was determined for two cell lines (E0771 and 4T1). E0771 cell line was chosen for the preparation of allograph breast cancer mouse models. Evaluations of the targeted paclitaxel in PLGA nanoparticles showed 38% better performance in inhibiting tumour growth compared to free paclitaxel treatment groups of mouse models. Conclusion: The chemotherapeutic effect of cancer drugs like paclitaxel can be increased by loading inside tumour targeted polymeric nanoparticlesArticle Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 6Surface Plasmon Resonance Aptasensor for Soluble Icam-1 Protein in Blood Samples(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2022) Dursun, Ali Dogan; Dogan, Soner; Kavruk, Murat; Tasbasi, B. Busra; Sudagidan, Mert; Yilmaz, M. Deniz; Tuna, Bilge G.Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is considered to be a cancer biomarker in the assessment of metastatic potential in patients and an early indicator of atherosclerosis. A labelless biosensor based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) signal from the specific affinity interaction of an aptamer and a soluble ICAM-1 protein was developed for blood samples. The developed aptasensor provided real-time information on the concentration of the ICAM-1 protein in blood when integrated to a purification step based on a magnetic pull-down separation. The SPR aptasensor was highly specific with a limit of detection of 1.4/0.2 ng ml(-1), which was achieved through aptamer-functionalized silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Effects of Sevoflurane and Fullerenol C60 on the Heart and Lung in Lower-Extremity Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes Mice(Mdpi, 2024) Ornek, Ender; Alkan, Metin; Erel, Selin; Sarıkaya, Badegül; Dursun, Ali Dogan; Sarıkaya, Badegül; Arslan, MustafaBackground and Objectives: Lower-extremity ischemia-reperfusion injury can induce distant organ ischemia, and patients with diabetes are particularly susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Sevoflurane, a widely used halogenated inhalation anesthetic, and fullerenol C60, a potent antioxidant, were investigated for their effects on heart and lung tissues in lower-extremity ischemia-reperfusion injury in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. Materials and Methods: A total of 41 mice were divided into six groups: control (n = 6), diabetes-control (n = 7), diabetes-ischemia (n = 7), diabetes-ischemia-fullerenol C60 (n = 7), diabetes-ischemia-sevoflurane (n = 7), and diabetes-ischemia-fullerenol C60-sevoflurane (n = 7). Diabetes was induced in mice using a single intraperitoneal dose of 55 mg/kg STZ in all groups except for the control group. Mice in the control and diabetes-control groups underwent midline laparotomy and were sacrificed after 120 min. The DIR group underwent 120 min of lower-extremity ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion. In the DIR-F group, mice received 100 mu g/kg fullerenol C60 intraperitoneally 30 min before IR. In the DIR-S group, sevoflurane and oxygen were administered during the IR procedure. In the DIR-FS group, fullerenol C60 and sevoflurane were administered. Biochemical and histological evaluations were performed on collected heart and lung tissues. Results: Histological examination of heart tissues showed significantly higher necrosis, polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration, edema, and total damage scores in the DIR group compared to controls. These effects were attenuated in fullerenol-treated groups. Lung tissue examination revealed more alveolar wall edema, hemorrhage, vascular congestion, polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration, and higher total damage scores in the DIR group compared to controls, with reduced injury parameters in the fullerenol-treated groups. Biochemical analyses indicated significantly higher total oxidative stress, oxidative stress index, and paraoxonase-1 levels in the DIR group compared to the control and diabetic groups. These levels were lower in the fullerenol-treated groups. Conclusions: Distant organ damage in the lung and heart tissues due to lower-extremity ischemia-reperfusion injury can be significantly reduced by fullerenol C60.
