Publication Metadata only Nasal fluid secretory immunoglobulin A levels in children with allergic rhinitis(2016-04-01T00:00:00Z) Dilek, Fatih; ÖZKAYA, EMİN; Gultepe, Bilge; YAZICI, MEBRURE; Iraz, Meryem; ÖZKAYA, EMİN; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; YAZICI, MEBRUREObjectives: There is growing knowledge about the immunoregulatory and possibly preventative roles of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in allergic diseases. This study aimed to investigate secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) levels in the nasal fluid of children who were either being treated for their allergic rhinitis (AR) with intranasal mometasone furoate or were not receiving treatment.Publication Metadata only Antibiotic resistance patterns of Escherichia Coli strains isolated from urine cultures İdrar kültürlerinden izole edilen Escherichia coli suşlari’nin antibiyotik direnç paterni(2014-01-01) IRAZ, Meryem; Gültepe, BİLGE; CEYLAN, AYŞE NUR; DOYMAZ, MEHMET ZİYA; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; CEYLAN, AYŞE NUR; DOYMAZ, MEHMET ZIYAPublication Metadata only Prognostic value of procalcitonin in infection-related mortality of cancer patients(2016-05-01) Sedef, Ali Murat; Kose, Fatih; Sumbul, Ahmet Taner; Dogan, Ozlem; Kursun, Ebru; Yurdakul, Zafer; Gultepe, BİLGE; Mertsoylu, Huseyin; Sezer, Ahmet; Ozyilkan, Ozgur; SÜMBÜL, BİLGEPurpose: Infectious diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. Tumor-induced inflammatory responses may increase the value of classical inflammatory markers in blood, so these markers may not be as useful in cancer patients as in non-cancer patients. Serum procalcitonin (PCT) is a sensitive and specific biomarker for severe infection, and has been shown to be unaffected by tumor-induced inflammatory response. In this study we aimed to evaluate the possible role of PCT in mortality in cancer patients with infection.Publication Metadata only Doğurganlık Çağındaki Kadınlarda Toksoplazma ve Rubella Seroprevalansı(2015-01-01) IRAZ, MERYEM; GÜLTEPE, BİLGE; CEYLAN, AYŞE NUR; DOYMAZ, MEHMET ZİYA; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; CEYLAN, AYŞE NUR; DOYMAZ, MEHMET ZIYAPublication Metadata only Examination of antimicrobial effect of fluoxetine in experimental sepsis model: An in vivo study(2022-10-01T00:00:00Z) Cakir, Ahsen; Bozali, Kubra; Celikten, Mert; Guler, Eray Metin; Sahan, Ebru; DURDU, BÜLENT; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; KOÇYİĞİT, ABDÜRRAHİM; ŞAHAN, EBRU; DURDU, BÜLENT; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; KOÇYİĞİT, ABDÜRRAHİMSince most infectious diseases can develop into sepsis, it is still a major medical problem. Some in-vivo studies showed promising properties of fluoxetine in the treatment of infections. This study aims the antimicrobial effect of fluoxetine on the inflammatory process used in the treatment of sepsis-modeled rats. Besides, to investigate the efficacy of fluoxetine on modifying the antibiotic effect of imipenem in the inflammatory response. An experimental sepsis model was divided into negative control, positive control, fluoxetine 5 mg/kg, imipenem 60 mg/kg, and combined (fluoxetine; imipenem). Procalcitonin (PCT), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), lactate, myeloperoxidase activity (MPO), the inflammation markers interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alfa (TNF-alpha), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Oxidative stress markers, total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), total thiol (TT), and native thiol (NT) were measured using photometric methods. Oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated according to TAS and TOS levels. The statistical analysis was performed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22.0. After treatment with fluoxetine, imipenem, and combined groups, IL-1 beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha, MPO activity, MCP-1, hs-CRP, PCT, lactate, and the oxidative stress markers OSI, and disulfide levels were decreased (p < 0.05). The TT, NT, and TAS levels significantly statistically increased (p < 0.05). This research demonstrates that fluoxetine has effects as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, and the combined treatment with antibioticum imipenem indicates positive synergistic effects in the experimental sepsis model.Publication Metadata only Perforated appendicitis in children: antimicrobial susceptibility and antimicrobial stewardship(2018-09-01) TÜREL, ÖZDEN; MİRAPOĞLU, SEMİH LÜTFİ; GÜLTEPE, BİLGE; TÜREL, ÖZDEN; MİRAPOĞLU, SEMİH LÜTFİ; SÜMBÜL, BİLGEPublication Metadata only HBsAg, Anti-HBs and Anti-HCV Seroprevalence of the Patients Applied to the Medical Faculty of Bezmialem Foundation University(2013-12-01T00:00:00Z) Iraz, Meryem; Gultepe, Bilge; DOYMAZ, Mehmet Ziya; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; DOYMAZ, MEHMET ZIYAObjective: The infections caused by hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus are still remain one of most important health problems for our country. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of HBsAg, anti-HBs and anti-HCV positivity in the patients who were admitted to the Research Hospital of the Medical Faculty of Bezmialem Vakif University between November 2011 and May 2013.Publication Unknown Evaluation of nasal fluid beta-defensin 2 levels in children with allergic rhinitis(2017-06-01) DILEK, Fatih; EMIN, Ozkaya; Gultepe, BİLGE; Yazici, MEBRURE; Cakir, ERKAN; GEDIK, Ahmet Hakan; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; YAZICI, MEBRURE; ÇAKIR, ERKANAim: Knowledge about the role of the innate immune system in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases has been expanding in recent years. Defensins are antimicrobial peptides that are components of the innate immune system. Defensins have strong efficacy against bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Moreover, they have regulatory functions in many physiologic processes such as antitumoral immunity, chemotaxis, inflammation, and wound healing. In this study, we aimed to investigate a-defensin 2 levels in the nasal fluids of children with allergic rhinitis.Publication Unknown Can D-dimer levels predict the treatment outcome in a patient with tuberculosis?(2014-07-01T00:00:00Z) Dulger, Ahmet Cumhur; Karadaş, Sevdegül; Gonullu, Hayriye; Beyazal, Mehmet; Bulut, Gulay; Gultepe, BİLGE; SÜMBÜL, BİLGETuberculous peritonitis is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity particularly in the developing world. Delay in initiation of treatment distinctively increases mortality. Treatment response to anti-tuberculosis drugs is usually observed by regression of symptoms and clearance of ascites. With initiation of treatment, laboratory values including CA-125 levels generally return to normal levels in 3 months. However, there is still no consensus about treatment response during the follow-up period. Serum D-dimer level is used as an inflammation marker in some cases. A case with Tuberculous peritonitis successfully monitorised by serum D-dimer levels is presented.Publication Unknown Utility of Rapid Antibody Test for Screening COVID-19 Among Healthcare Professionals(2020-10-01T00:00:00Z) Okay, Gulay; Kacmaz, Asiye Bahar; Sumbul, BİLGE; Bolukcu, Sibel; Akkoyunlu, Yasemin; Meric Koc, Meliha; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; OKAY, GÜLAY; DURDU, BÜLENT; AKKOYUNLU, YASEMİNObjective: This study aims to assess the effectivity of a rapid antibody test on detecting the occupational exposure in healthcare professionals who have been working in a pandemic hospital since the initial cases were seen in our country.
