The objective of this study was to compare serum endocan levels in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) and control subjects in order to elucidate whether RLS is associated with endothelial dysfunction. Methods: A total of 31 drug naïve female patients with RLS and 31 age- and BMI-matched women were included in the study. Patients with pathological or physiological conditions or with a history of medication use that could potentially influence endothelial functions were excluded, as well as those with alcohol or drug abuse history. The two groups were compared with routine blood tests and serum endocan levels. Results: Patients with RLS had lower serum endocan levels than the controls (P=0.037). There was a negative bivariate correlation between RLS severity score and serum endocan levels (r=-0.406, P=0.023). While white blood cell count was significantly higher in RLS group, 25-hydroxy vitamin D3, vitamin B12, transferrin saturation rate, and HDL-cholesterol were significantly lower. Creatininemia and diastolic blood pressure were also marginally insignificantly lower in RLS group. Due to the presence of differences between two groups in these variables, a linear regression analysis was performed that showed a positive association between endocan and creatininemia (β=0.310, P=0.022), and a negative association between endocan and RLS (β=-0.502, P,0.001). Conclusion: The results of this study seem to suggest that patients with RLS may have better endothelial functions when compared with the general population and that these patients may be better protected against atherosclerosisPublication Evaluation of the relationship between vitamin D level and adropin, IL-1β, IL-6, and oxidative status in women(2022-01-01T00:00:00Z) ZORLU, MEHMET; ŞEKERCİ, ABDÜSSELAM; TUNÇ, MUHAMMED; Güler, Eray Metin; Gülen, Bedia; KARATOPRAK, CUMALİ; KISKAÇ, MUHARREM; ÇAKIRCA, MUSTAFA; ZORLU, MEHMET; ŞEKERCİ, ABDÜSSELAM; TUNÇ, MUHAMMED; KARATOPRAK, CUMALİ; KISKAÇ, MUHARREM; ÇAKIRCA, MUSTAFABackground: Vitamin D, adropin, proinflammatory cytokines, and oxidative stress closely related with metabolic homeostasis and endothelial dysfunction. The aim of the present study is to investigate how vitamin D levels affect serum adropin, IL-1ß, IL-6, and oxidative stress. Methods: A total of 77 female subjects were divided into 3 groups according to vitamin D levels. Biochemical parameters, adropin, IL-1ß, IL-6, oxidative stress markers were studied in these groups, and the results were compared statistically. Results: Serum adropin, IL-1ß, IL-6, total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) levels differed significantly between the vitamin D groups (p < 0.05). A significant positive correlation was detected between vitamin D, and adropin and TAS (r = 0.807; p < 0.001, r = 0.814; p < 0.001, respectively). A significant negative correlation was detected between vitamin D, and IL-1ß, IL-6, TOS, OSI (r = -0.725; p < 0.001, r = -0.720; p < 0.001, r = -0.238; p = 0.037, r = -0.705; p < 0.001, respectively). Discussion: Vitamin D could show its effects through vitamin D receptors on tissues or on the ENHO gene in adropin secreting tissues via direct or indirect mechanisms. Proinflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, and adropin targeted studies could contribute to the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with vitamin D deficiency in future.Publication Cutoff point of waist circumference for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in Turkish population(2011-10-18) HURSITOGLU, MEHMET; TUKEK, TUFAN; CIKRIKCIOGLU, MEHMET ALI; YIGIT, YILDIZ; CAKIRCA, MUSTAFA; ZEREN, GUZIN; APIKOGLU, S RABUS; KARA, OSMAN; CORDAN, ILKER; YETMIS, MIKAIL; SOYSAL, PINAR; ÇAKIRCA, MUSTAFA; SOYSAL, PINARPublication Splenomegaly in primary antiphospholipid syndrome without accompanying portal hypertension or comorbidity.(2010-01-01T00:00:00Z) CIKRIKCIOGLU, MA; HURSITOGLU, M; ERKAL, H; INAN, BEKİR; OZTURK, T; Cakirca, MUSTAFA; CANPOLAT, F; ERKAL, S; BAHTIYAR, I; CORDAN, I; TUKEK, T; İNAN, BEKİR; ÇAKIRCA, MUSTAFAPublication Association of calcium channel blocker use with lower hemoglobin levels in chronic kidney disease(2013-09-01) Karatoprak, CUMALİ; CIKRIKCIOGLU, M.

Patients and methods: CKD patients were classified into two groups. Patients on CCBs treatment (103 patients) and patients not using CCBs (104 patients) were compared cross-sectionally regarding clinical findings, complete blood count (CBC), biochemistry and regular medication use. Patients with polycystic kidney disease, comorbidities that could influence CBC other than iron deficiency of obscure origin, patients receiving RRT, erythropoietin (EPO), vitamin D, phosphate binders and drugs that could influence CBC were excluded. Under dependent variable of CCB use, all significantly different independent variables were subjected to multivariate binary logistic regression analysis (MBLRA). Results: Lower hemoglobin, lower bilirubinemia, higher serum EPO, higher systolic blood pressure were observed in CCB users. Two groups were similar concerning age, gender, BMI, CKD etiology, CKD stage, pretibial edema prevalence, cardiothoracic index, diastolic blood pressure, corrected reticulocyte count, BUN, creatinine, eGFR, proBNP, parathormone, alkaline phosphatase, phosphorous, corrected calcemia, sCRP, relative EPO deficiency and prevalence of relative EPO deficient patients. Groups were comparable regarding comorbidities, types and usage frequencies of all antihypertensive medications other than CCBs. Higher systolic blood pressure and lower hemoglobin were significantly associated with CCB use after MBLRA. Conclusions: Hemoglobin was significantly lower in CCB users compared to non-users, among CKD patients who did not receive RRT, EPO, phosphate binders, vitamin D, iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid.Publication Diyabetik hastalarda diyetisyen kontrolü sıklığı bunun hasta memnuniyeti ve kan şeker regülasyonu üzerine etkisi(2011-05-15) KISKAÇ, MUHARREM; ÇAKIRCA, MUSTAFA; YOLBAŞ, SERVET; ÇIKRIKÇIOĞLU, MEHMET ALİ; ZORLU, MEHMET; BÜYÜKAYDIN, BANU; KISKAÇ, MUHARREM; ÇAKIRCA, MUSTAFA; ZORLU, MEHMET; BÜYÜKAYDIN, BANUPublication Oxidative stress and autonomic nervous system functions in restless legs syndrome.(2011-07-01) CIKRIKCIOGLU, MA; HURSITOGLU, M; ERKAL, H; KINAS, BE; SZTAJZEL, J; Cakirca, MUSTAFA; ARSLAN, ADNAN; EREK, A; HALAC, G; TUKEK, T; ÇAKIRCA, MUSTAFA; ARSLAN, ADNAN
