Objective: To investigate Blastocystis’ etiologic role and association with gastrointestinal symptomatology in acute and chronic urticaria patients and to identify Blastocystis subtypes responsible for urticaria. Methods: The study included urticaria patients and healthy individuals that presented to our polyclinic between June 2015 and May 2017. The participants were assigned into Group I (137 patients), subdivided into acute (72) and chronic urticaria patients (65), and Group II (129 control individuals). Blastocystis presence was investigated by native-Lugol examination, trichrome staining, ...Daha fazlası

tBackground: mecA is a predefined gene causing methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)isolates; however, it has been shown that some methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains do notcarry this gene. Recently, in isolates found to be MRSA-positive but mecA-negative, a new resistance gene called mecC, which is a homolog of mecA, has been reported. This study aimed to investigate the mecCand mecA genes in MRSA strains isolated from different geographic regions in Turkey.Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 494 MRSA strains isolated from seven geographical regionsi ...Daha fazlası
Mycobacterium cinsi, tümünün aside dirençli boyanma özelliği gösterdiği gram-pozitif basil türlerini içerir. Önemli bir tür olan Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), Dickens zamanında tüketici, korkunç bir hastalık olarak nitelendirilen tüberküloz (verem) etkenidir. Çoğu zengin ülkeler dışında olmak üzere, tüberküloz, dünya nüfusunun hâlâ üçte birini enfekte etmekte ve her yıl yaklaşık 2 milyon kişinin ölümüne neden olmaktadır. Mycobacterium leprae, eski ve şekil bozucu bir hastalık olan lepra (cüzzam) etkenidir. Daha az patojenik olan çok sayıda tür ise, başta AIDS olmak üzere immün yetmezliği o ...Daha fazlası

Lyme disease is a common tick-borne infection caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.). B. burgdorferi s.s. may utilize chemotaxis, the directional migration towards or away from a chemical stimulus, for transmission, acquisition, and infection. However, the specific signals recognized by the spirochete for these events have not been defined. In this study, we identify an Ixodes scapularis salivary gland protein, Salp12, that is a chemoattractant for the spirochete. We demonstrate that Salp12 is expressed in the I. scapularis salivary glands and midgut and expression ...Daha fazlası

Candida species cause cutaneous and systemic infections with a high mortality rate, especially in immunocompromised patients. However, the emergence of resistance to the most common antifungal drugs, also due to biofilm formation, there is an increasing need to design new and more effective antifungals with less toxic. Sulfonyl hydrazones are well-known for their pharmacological effects, such as antifungal and antibacterial potential and can act as an antinociceptive, antidepressant, antineoplastic activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-candidal and anti-biofilm activity o ...Daha fazlası

Background: Cryptorchidism is the most common developmental abnormality of the male reproductive system. If left untreated, it results with infertility and testicular cancer. According to current evidence, surgery is the mainstay of treatment, and hormonal therapy approaches are still under investigation. For the protection of testicular functions, antioxidants have emerged as novel options. This study aimed to evaluate the protective properties of ozone, a strong antioxidant, on testicular tissue. Material/Methods: Thirty-five male Wistar-albino rats, 1-month-old, were used for the study. Gro ...Daha fazlası

Background: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of symptomatic tinea capitis infections of the scalp and its asymptomatic carriage in students attending primary schools in Erzincan, Turkey. Materials and Methods: Eighteen primary schools were visited; 1 located in the central district and 17 located in other districts of the Erzincan province. From 2015 November to 2016 April, scalp scrapings were obtained from a total of 1879 students aged 6 to 13 years (mean age: 9.37±1.69) 924 (49.2%) male and 955 (50.8%) female using sterile hairbrushes, and assessed for tinea capitis and asympt ...Daha fazlası
BACKGROUND: High asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels have been associated with endothelial dysfunction and contribute to the development of several diseases. However, data on the relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) and ADMA are limited. The aim of our study was to explore the relationship between ADMA and HBV by comparing the ADMA levels in patients with chronic active hepatitis B (CHB), inactive HBV carriers (carriers), and healthy volunteers (controls). METHODS: The participants were divided into three groups: 90 patients with CHB, 90 HBV carriers, and 90 controls. Serum ADM ...Daha fazlası
