Efficacy of Vitamin D Therapy for Resolution of Symptoms(2015-01-01) Vehapoglu, AYSEL; Turel, Ozden; TURKMEN, Serdar; INAL, Berrin Belcik; Aksoy, TURGUT; OZGURHAN, Gamze; ERSOY, Murat; VEHAPOĞLU TÜRKMEN, AYSEL; TÜREL, ÖZDEN; AKSOY, TURGUTObjectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] status of children with growing pains and to evaluate the efficacy of vitamin D treatment on the resolution of pain symptoms. Subjects and Methods: One hundred and twenty children with growing pains were included in a prospective cohort study. Serum 25(OH)D and bone mineral levels were measured in all subjects at the time of enrollment. The pain intensity of those with vitamin D deficiency was measured using a pain visual analog scale (VAS). After a single oral dose of vitamin D, the pain intensity was remeasured by means of the VAS at 3 months. The 25(OH)D levels and VAS scores before and after oral vitamin D administration were compared by means of a paired Student-s t test. Results: In the 120 children with growing pains, vitamin D insufficiency was noted in 104 (86.6%). Following vitamin D supplementation, the mean 25(OH)D levels increased from 13.4 +/- 7.2 to 44.5 +/- 16.4 ng/ml, the mean pain VAS score decreased from 6.8 +/- 1.9 to 2.9 +/- 2.5 cm (a mean reduction of -3.8 +/- 2.1, p < 0.001) and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: Supplementation with oral vitamin D resulted in a significant reduction in pain intensity among these children with growing pains who had hypovitaminosis D. (C) 2015 S.

This study aimed to investigate serum nesfatin-1 and orexin-A levels in underweight children and the potential correlations of these levels with anthropometric and nutritional parameters. Methods: The study enrolled 44 prepubertal children (between 2 and 12 years of age) with thinness grades of 1-3 and 41 healthy age- and gender-matched children. The demographic, clinical and laboratory parameters including nesfatin-1 and orexin-A concentrations were compared between the two groups. The correlations of nesfatin-1 and orexin-A with biochemical and anthropometric parameters were investigated. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were also performed for evaluating nesfatin-1 and orexin-A in distinguishing children with malnutrition from healthy controls. Results: Thyroid-stimulating hormone, vitamin B12 and insulin levels were significantly lower in the study group than controls (p=0.001, p=0.049 and p=0.033, respectively). Mean nesfatin-1 levels in the malnourished group was also significantly lower compared to the healthy controls (3871.2 ± 1608.8 vs. 5515.0 ± 3816.4 pg/mL, p=0.012). No significant difference was observed in the orexin-A levels between the two groups (malnourished vs. control groups: 1135.7 ± 306.0 vs. 1025.7 ± 361.6 pg/mL, p=0.141). Correlation analyses revealed a positive correlation of nesfatin-1 and a negative correlation of orexin-A with body mass index (BMI) z-score. ROC analysis demonstrated that nesfatin-1 and orexin-A cannot be used to distinguish children with malnutrition from healthy controls (AUC: 0.620, p=0.061 for nesfatin-1 and AUC: 0.584, p=0.190 for orexin-A). Conclusion: The positive correlation of nesfatin-1 and the negative correlation of orexin-A with BMI suggest that these neuropeptides may be a part of a protective mechanism in the maintenance of nutritional status and that they may have a role in regulating food intake in undernourished children.Publication Open Access Serum catalase, thiol and myeloperoxidase levels in children passively exposed to cigarette smoke.(2019-05-09T00:00:00Z) Torun, Emel; Kahraman, Feyza Ustabas; Goksu, Ahmet Zaid; Vahapoglu, Aysel; Çakın, Zeynep Ebru; TORUN, EMEL; USTABAŞ KAHRAMAN, FEYZA; VEHAPOĞLU TÜRKMEN, AYSELBackground: Free radicals found in cigarette smoke can harm all tissues and cellular structures in the human body. Passive smoking increases free radical production, leads to the depletion of antioxidants and increases oxidative stress which causes lipid peroxidation. Many studies have been conducted to determine the effects of passive smoking on antioxidant enzymes and lipid levels in adults, but pediatric studies on this topic are few. In our study, we compared the levels of antioxidants, oxidants, total and LDL cholesterol in children exposed to passive cigarette smoking with a healthy control group that was not exposed to passive smoking.Publication Metadata only Clinical symptoms and microbiological findings in prepubescent girls with vulvovaginitis.(2022-07-09T00:00:00Z) Vehapoglu, Aysel; Kıyak, Merve Celep; VEHAPOĞLU TÜRKMEN, AYSELPublication Metadata only İntramuskuler seftriakson sonrası akut intravasküler hemoliz gelişen bir olgu sunumu(2014-06-01T00:00:00Z) RÜMEYSA, TUNA; VEHAPOĞLU TÜRKMEN, Aysel; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜL; VEHAPOĞLU TÜRKMEN, AYSEL; ÇAKIR, FATMA BETÜL
