Publication Metadata only Intracellular cytokine and cathelicidin secretion from monocytes and neutrophils in childhood lung tuberculosis and its relationship with vitamin D levels(2013-09-07T00:00:00Z) Çakır, Erkan; Torun, Emel; Aktaş, Esin; Deniz, Gülnur; ÇAKIR, ERKAN; TORUN, EMELPublication Open Access Evaluation of 563 children with chronic cough accompanied by a new clinical algorithm(2015-10-06) GEDIK, Ahmet Hakan; BAHALI, Kayhan; KUCUKKOC, Mehmet; NURSOY, Mustafa; GOKCE, Selim; Cakir, ERKAN; Ozkaya, EMİN; Uzuner, SELÇUK; Erenberk, UFUK; Torun, EMEL; DEMIR, Aysegul Dogan; AKSOY, Fadlullah; ÇAKIR, ERKAN; TORUN, EMEL; ERENBERK, UFUK; UZUNER, SELÇUK; NURSOY, MUSTAFA ATİLLA; ÖZKAYA, EMİN; AKSOY, FADLULLAHBackground: This study aims to evaluate the children with chronic cough and to analyze their etiological factors according to the age groups. Method: Five hundred sixty-three children with chronic cough were included. The last diagnosis were established and were also emphasized according to the age groups. Results: The mean age was 5.4 ± 3.8 years (2-months–17-years) and 52 % of them were male. The most common final diagnosis from all the participants were: asthma (24.9 %), asthma-like symptoms (19 %), protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB) (11.9 %), and upper airway cough syndrome (9.1 %). However, psychogenic cough was the second most common diagnosis in the subjects over 6 years of age. Conclusion: Asthma and asthma-like symptoms were the most common diagnosis in children. Different age groups in children may have a different order of frequencies. Psychogenic cough should be thought of in the common causes especially in older children.Publication Metadata only Chronic cough in childhood:Analysis of 505 cases(2014-09-07T00:00:00Z) Gedik, Ahmet Hakan; Çakır, Erkan; Torun, Emel; Doğan Demir, Ayşegül; Uzuner, Selçuk; Erenberk, Ufuk; Nursoy, Mustafa Atilla; Özkaya, Emin; ÇAKIR, ERKAN; TORUN, EMEL; DOĞAN DEMİR, AYŞEGÜL; UZUNER, SELÇUK; ERENBERK, UFUK; NURSOY, MUSTAFA ATİLLA; ÖZKAYA, EMİNPublication Open Access Serum paraoxonase 1 activity and oxidative stress in pediatric patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.(2014-01-01) TORUN, EMEL; GEDIK, AH; Cakir, ERKAN; UMUTOGLU, T; GOK, O; KILIC, U; TORUN, EMEL; ÇAKIR, ERKANObjectives: The aim of this study was to determine the oxidative stress and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) levels in children with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) compared to healthy controls, and to examine the association of demographical with oxidative stress. Subjects and methods: Forty children diagnosed with pulmonary TB and 40 age- and gender-matched healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Serum total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) and PON1 levels were measured. The oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated to indicate the degree of oxidative stress. Results: The TAS levels were lower (1.73 ± 0.5 vs. 2.54 ± 1.2 μmol Trolox Eq/l) while TOS levels were significantly higher (26.9 ± 14.4 vs. 13.4 ± 7.7 μmol H2O2 Eq/l) in the TB group than in the controls (p < 0.001). The OSI was significantly higher in the TB group than in the controls (21.2 ± 5.1 vs. 6.5 ± 4.9 units, p = 0.006). Serum PON1 levels were significantly lower in the TB group than in the controls (14.2 ± 13.2 vs. 28.4 ± 17.3 U/l, p < 0.001). The lower PON1 levels correlated with TAS and OSI levels but not with anthropometric parameters (r = 0.264, p = 0.018 and r = -0.255, p = 0.023, respectively). Conclusion: The TOS and OSI levels were higher and the TAS and PON1 levels were lower in pediatric patients with pulmonary TB when compared to healthy controls. This indicates greater oxidative stress in the patients.Publication Metadata only Analysis of 1022 procedures from a single center(2011-06-11T00:00:00Z) Kut, Arif; Çakır, Erkan; Çakır, Fatma Betül; Torun, Emel; ÇAKIR, ERKAN; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜL; TORUN, EMELPublication Metadata only Antimicrobial peptides cathelicidin (LL37) and human beta 2 defensin levels of pediatric patients with bronchiolitis obliterans(2014-09-07T00:00:00Z) Gedik, Ahmet Hakan; Çakır, Erkan; Gökdemir, Yasemin; Uyan, Seda; Koçyiğit, Abdürrahim; Torun, Emel; Karadağ, Bülent Taner; Ersu, Refika; Karakoç, Fazilet; ÇAKIR, ERKAN; KOÇYİĞİT, ABDÜRRAHİM; TORUN, EMELPublication Metadata only Serum paraoxonase activity and oxidative status in pediatric patients with pulmonary tuberculosis(2014-09-07T00:00:00Z) Gedik, Ahmet Hakan; Torun, Emel; Çakır, Erkan; Umutoğlu, Tarık; Gök, O; Kılıç, Ülkan; TORUN, EMEL; ÇAKIR, ERKANPublication Open Access An unusual case of foreign body aspiration mimicking cavitary tuberculosis in adolescent patient: Thread aspiration(2012-05-11T00:00:00Z) ÇAKIR, Erkan; TORUN, EMEL; Uyan, Zeynep Seda; Akca, Ozge; SOYSAL, ÖMER; ÇAKIR, ERKAN; TORUN, EMEL; SOYSAL, ÖMERForeign body aspiration continues to be a serious problem in childhood and adolescent period with significant rate of morbidity and rarely mortality. Half of the foreign body aspiration cases have no history of aspiration. The main foreign bodies inhaled are food fragments and different kinds of metallic objects. A 12-year-old girl was referred to the pediatric pulmonology department for chronic cough and hemoptysis. She had persistent infiltration and cavitary lesion mimicking cavitary tuberculosis. There was no contact history with tuberculosis in her family and acid resistant bacillus was not found in the sputum examination. Flexible bronchoscopy was performed for persistent infiltration and hemoptysis and inflamed thread was found in right lower lobe bronchus. This is the first case of thread inhalation mimicking cavitary tuberculosis in an adolescent patient.Publication Metadata only Tekrarlayan Ürtiker ve Anjioödemle Seyreden Kist Hidatik(2011-03-01) bayraktar, süleyman; kahraman, e; ÇAKIR, ERKAN; TORUN, EMEL; ÇAKIR, ERKANPublication Metadata only Total oxidative stress, total antioxidant status and paraoxonase activity in pediatric patients with bronchiolitis obliterans(2014-09-07T00:00:00Z) Gedik, Ahmet Hakan; Çakır, Erkan; Gökdemir, Yasemin; Uyan, Seda; Koçyiğit, Abdürrahim; Torun, Emel; Karadağ, Bülent Taner; Ersu, Refika; Karakoç, Fazilet; ÇAKIR, ERKAN; KOÇYİĞİT, ABDÜRRAHİM; TORUN, EMEL
