Publication Metadata only 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 Metadata only 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.Publication Metadata only Raftlin, presepsin levels and thiol-disulfide homeostasis in acute appendicitis: A pilot study(2018-11-01) KOÇYİĞİT, ABDÜRRAHİM; ERSOY, YELİZ EMİNE; SELEK, ŞAHBETTİN; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; ÖZER, ÖMER FARUK; GÜLER, ERAY METİN; MERAL, İSMAİL; YİĞİT, MEHMET; ÖZER, ÖMER FARUK; GÜLER, ERAY METİN; KOÇYİĞİT, ABDÜRRAHİM; MERAL, İSMAİL; SÜMBÜL, BİLGE; SELEK, ŞAHABETTİN; ERSOY, YELIZ EMINEObjective: To investigate some of the new inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in acute appendicitis.Publication Metadata only <i>Clostridium difficile</i> infection: Is there a change in the underlying factors?

The sheepraising areas of Turkey also pose a high risk for cystic hydatid disease (CHD). Both HBV infection and CHD are major public health issues particularly in eastern parts of Turkey; however, there is no data regarding HBV infection in patients who have had CHD. The aims of this study were to evaluate the association between HBV infection and CHD and suggest ways to reduce HBV infection which is still widespread in Turkey. A retrospective study was conducted with 94 adult patients with active CHD referred to the hepatology department, Yuzuncuyil University School of Medicine from December 2010 to December 2012. All subjects came from rural areas of the region and underwent ultrasonography of abdomen which detected CHD of the liver. All the patients were serologically positive for Echinococcus granulosus. The control group consisted of 500 patients (300 men and 200 women) referred to the internal medicine clinics for other reasons. The patients with CHD and in the control group were tested for the existence of HBs antigen according to the standard procedures. The seroprevalence of HBs antigen was significantly higher in patients with active CHD than those in the control group (12.7% vs 5.2%; P=0.0017). Our data indicate that there is significant association between HBV infection and CHD. All patients with CHD should be screened for HBV infection.
