SO B1-Immobilized Amberlite XAD-16 for Solid-Phase Preconcentration of Cu(II) and Pb(II) and Their Determinations by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2015) Dündar, Abdurrahman; Ozdemir, Sadin; Dolak, Ibrahim; Okumus, Veysi; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Ziyadanogullari, Berrin; Aksoy, Zehra; Onat, Ruken; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri BölümüA new method for the determination of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) after preconcentrating on a column containing Anoxybacillus sp. SO B1-immobilized Amberlite XAD-16 was developed. The functional groups of Anoxybacillus sp. SO B1 immobilized on Amberlite XAD-16 were characterized in KBr tablets by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry. Various parameters such as pH, amount of the adsorbent, eluent type and volume, and flow rate of the sample solution were studied. The optimum pH values of quantitative sorption for Cu(II) and Pb(II) were found to be pH 7.0 and 5.0 and Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions could be quantitatively eluted with 5.0ml of 1.0mol L-1 HCI and 10.0ml of 0.25mol L-1 HNO3, respectively. Recoveries of Cu(II) and Pb(II) were found to be 100.9 +/- 1.57% and 100.3 +/- 0.49% (N = 5), the limits of detection of Cu(II) and Pb(II) in the determination by FAAS (3s, N = 10) were found to be 0.8 and 1.6 mu g L-1, respectively. The proposed enrichment method was applied for metal ion determination from water samples such as two parts of Tigris River water in Diyarbakir and Elazig, Lake of Hazar in Elazig, and tap water in Diyarbakir. Furthermore, the accuracy of the proposed method was verified by studying the analytical recovery and by analyzing certified reference material (NCS-DC 73350 leaves of poplar).Conference Object ANTİ-KANSER İLAÇ YÜKLENMİŞ MANYETİK O-KARBOKSİ METİL KİTOSAN NANOKOMPOZİTİN SİTOTOKSİSİTE ÇALIŞMALRI(2019) Tarhan, Tuba; Tural, Bilsen; Tural, Servet; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri BölümüGünümüzde kanser kemoterapisinin en önemli sorunlarına çözüm bulmak için nanoboyutta ilaç taşıyıcı sistemler geliştirilmiştir.

Murat; Çelik, Mustafa; Uçar, Edip; Güneşaçar, Ramazan; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri BölümüLeptin is a protein hormone which plays a critical role in the regulation of both body-weight through reducing food intake and stimulating energy expenditure. Several polymorphisms in leptin gene (LEP), which encodes for leptin, have been described. However, its association with obesity is still controversial. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to investigate whether LEP c.-2548 G > A polymorphism was associated with serum leptin levels, lipid parameters, and body mass index in Turkish obese patients. Forty-seven obese patients and 48 healthy individuals were included in the study. Blood samples were collected for DNA extraction. LEP c.-2548 G > A polymorphism were detected using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. Serum leptin levels and lipid parameters were measured by ELISA and enzyme colorimetric assay techniques, respectively. GA or AA genotypes and A allele carrier frequencies of the c.-2548 G > A polymorphism in the LEP were higher in obese (38.3, 34.0 and 72.3 %) when compared with controls (14.6, 12.5, and 27.1 %; p = 0.011, 0.016, and 0.002, respectively). On the other hand, AA or AG genotypes were also related to increased serum leptin levels (p < 0.001) and body mass index (p < 0.0001). All these consequences showed that LEP -2548 AA or AG genotypes are important predictors for increased levels of leptin and BMI in Turkish obese patients and it may be a useful marker for obesity risk in our population.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Biological assays, electrochemical behavior, and theoretical DFT calculations of Ru(II) complexes of chiral phosphinite based based on β-amino alcohols: Transfer hyrogenation of ketones using a HCOOH/Et3N mixture(Elsevier, 2024) Dündar, Abdurrahman; Meriç, Nermin; Ertekin Binbay, Nil; Okumuş, Veysi; Sever, M.

When we treated [Ru(arene)(μ-Cl)Cl]2 {arene:p-cymene,benzene} with chelating phosphinite ligands, we obtained neutral Ru(II)-complexes possessing the general formula [Ru(arene)phosphiniteCl2]. The structure of the ligands and complexes was confirmed using analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The quantum chemical calculations were carried out for the ruthenium complexes at the DFT/CAM-B3LYP level of theory in gas phase. The phosphinite complexes were subjected to cyclic voltammetry studies in order to determine the energies of HOMO and LUMO levels and to estimate their electrochemical and some electronic properties. Organic complex-based memory substrates were immobilized using TiO2-modified ITO electrodes, and the memory functions of phosphinite-based organic complexes were verified by chronoamperometry (CA) and open-circuit potential amperometry (OCPA). In the present study, the antioxidant potentials of ruthenium-based p-cymene and benzene complexes through DPPH radical scavenging, metal chelating, and reducing power activities were also determined. In addition, DNA binding abilities and antimicrobial activities of these complexes against pathogenic bacteria were studied.

Serdar; Ozdemir, Sadin; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Kilinc, Ersin; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri BölümüThe potential biosorption abilities of apple shell (AS), orange peel (OP), banana peel (BP), and millet waste (MW) as a bio-waste material to remove 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), 2,4-dichlorophenoxy propanoic acid (2,4-DP), and 2,4-dichlorophenoxy butyric acid (2,4-DB) from aqueous solution were investigated in batch condition. Optimum biosorption conditions were determined as a function of contact time, pH of the solution, amount of biomass, and initial pesticide concentrations. The concentrations of the pesticides in the remaining solutions were simultaneously determined by high performance thin layer chromatography. Langmuir and Freundlich models were applied to describe the biosorption isotherm of the pesticides by agricultural wastes. The experimental adsorption data were fitted to Langmuir adsorption models (r(2)>0.99). It was found that adsorption of 2,4-DP was higher for all biosorbent. The highest maximum adsorption capacities of 2,4-DP were found as 40.08, 22.71, 33.26, and 45.45mg/g, respectively, for AS, OP, BP, and MW. Maximum adsorption capacity was obtained for 2,4-D as OP>MW>BP>AS, 2,4-DP as MW>AS>BP>OP, and 2,4-DB as OP>AS>BP>MW. From the results, it can be said that MW was an effective biosorbent for removal of 2,4-DP and OP was an effective biosorbent for removal of 2,4-D and 2,4-DB through the studied pesticides. Optimum biosorption conditions were determined as 60min of contact time, 100mg of biomass, AS at pH 6.0, OP at pH 6.0, MW at pH 7.0, and BP at pH 7.0. FT-IR was employed to understand the surface properties of biosorbents. According to the results, agricultural wastes have high adsorption capacity.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 24Boletus edulis loaded with gamma-Fe2O3 nanoparticles as a magnetic sorbent for preconcentration of Co(II) and Sn(II) prior to their determination by ICP-OES(SPRINGER WIEN, 2018) Kılınç, Ersin; Yalçın, M.

Sergilediği olağanüstü özellikler sayesinde oldukça dikkat çekmiş ve çığır açacak yeni uygulamalar için beklentileri artırmıştır. Yapısal olarak karbon sistemine benzeyen BN'ler dört farklı poli kiristal formda bulunur: grafit benzeri altıgen BN (h-BN), eşkenar dörtgen (r-BN), elmas benzeri kübik BN (c-BN) ve wurtzite BN (w-BN) (1-3). Özellikle h-BN, iki boyutlu (2D) katmanlı yapı sunan standart koşullar altında en kararlı BN fazıdır. Bor atomları için sp2 hibridizasyonu gözlemlenir ve B-N-B veya N-B-N arasında beklenen bağ açısı 120˚ olup, grafit gibi mükemmel bir altıgen halka bağ ağı oluştururken, 2D katmanlar zayıf van der Waals kuvvetleri tarafından bir arada tutulur (2,4,5). BN nanomalzemeleri, nanoküreler, nanotüpler (BNNT), nanolifler, nanofulleren (BNFL), kuantumdot (BNQD) nanoşeritler (BNNR), ince filmler ve nanolevhalar (BNNS) gibi tüm morfolojik şekillerde bulunabilir (Şekil 1) (6,7).İlgi çekici kimyasal, fiziksel ve biyolojik özelliklerinden dolayı bor nitrür, bilimsel ve teknolojik topluluklar tarafından büyük ilgi görmüştür (4). BN malzemeleriyle ilgili yayınların sayısı son on yılda çarpıcı bir biçimde arttmıştır (bkz. Şekil 2a). Şekil 2b, 2019'daki BN materyallerinin yayın durumunu göstermektedir: yaklaşık %50'si nanomalzemelerle ilgilidir ve hem BNNT'ler hem de BNNS'ler üzerine yapılan araştırmalar yaklaşık %20'sini oluşturmaktadır. Bu raporlara göre BN sistemleri optoelektronik cihazlar (1,8,9), kuantum yayıcılar (1,10,11), yarı iletkenler (1,12), enerji depolama (1,13), termal iletkenler (1,14), kozmetik ürünler (1,15), su temizleme (1,16,17), fotokatalitik (1,18) ve ayrıca biyomedikal bilimi (1,19) vb. üzerine yapılan çalışmalar ile ilgili verileri içermektedir (1).Bu bölümde, odak noktasının in vivo ve in vitro olduğu, bor nitrürün kedisi, türevleri, bir kaplama malzemesi veya kompozit halinin biyouyumluluğu ve anti-bakteriyel özelliklerinden dolayı biyomedikal uygulamalarda kullanılabilme potansiyelleri araştırılıyor. Bor nitrür, ilaç dağıtımı, görüntüleme ve hücre stimülasyonu gibi tıbbi alanlarda bazı uygulamalar için yeni bir kapı açacaktır (20). Ayrıca, BN nanoparçacıkları van der Waals, hidrofilik, hidrofobik, hidrojen bağı ve π-π etkileşimleri gibi moleküller arası etkileşimlerin yanı sıra kovalent olmayan etkileşimler ile işlevselleştirilebilmesi sayesinde, konakçı sistemlere güçlü bir şekilde bağlanır (4,21). Moleküllerin sahip olduğu bu fiziksel etkileşimlerin (konjuge, yüzey aktif maddeler vb.) avantajlarını kullanarak kontrollü fizikokimyasal özellikleri ile farklı ortamlara homojen bir şekilde dağılırlar (4, 22). Literatürde, selüloz filmler veya lifler (4,23,24), kitosan (4,25), polietilenimin aşılanmış nanoşerit (mikro RNA'nın tanınması için) (4,26), vinil asetat kopolimeri (4,22), oktadesilamin (4,27), glukoz oksidaz biyoalgılama (4,28), poli (etilen glikol) (4,29), DNA (4,30) ve metalik nanopartiküller gibi farklı nanoparçacıkları içeren kovalent ve kovalent olmayan çeşitli işlevselleştirme metodolojileri sunulmuştur (4). Bu bileşiklerin başarısı ve performansı için en önemli konu, her türlü inorganik veya biyolojik sistem için en uygun işlevselleştirme sürecinin (biyo-nanomühendislik) seçimidir (4). Fiziksel-kimyasal modifikasyonlar ve uygulamaları için en önemli adım, nanokompleksin kimyasal olarak kararlı, iyi dağılmış ve ilgili biyolojik ortamla uyumlu olmasıdır. Böylece tanı ve tedavi amaçlı ekolojik paketleme, biyo-robotlar, tümör belirteçleri gibi biyoteknoloji ve biyomedikal alanlarda gelişmiş uygulamalara sahip akıllı nano sistemler üretilebilmektedir (4). Bu bölümde, bor nitrürün işlevselleştirilmesinin ana yöntemleri, bunların biyoteknoloji ve nanotıp alanındaki gelişmeleri ve potansiyel uygulamaları hakkında kısa bir rapor sunuyoruz.Article Citation - WoS: 31Citation - Scopus: 33Competitive adsorption of VOCs (benzene, xylene and ethylbenzene) with Fe3O4@SiO2-NH@BENZOPHENONE magnetic nanoadsorbents(Elsevier, 2023) Ece, Mehmet Şakir; Ece, Mehmet Şakir; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri BölümüVolatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic, are considered a critical factor for air pollution and cause serious harm to the eco-environment and human health. In this study, Fe3O4, Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2, Fe3O4@SiO2-NH@BENZOFENONE were synthesized as new magnetic nanoadsorbents (MNAs) and used for the first time in the removal of gas-phase benzene, xylene and ethylbenzene. The synthesised MNAs were characterized by SEM-EDS, TEM, FTIR, XRD, VSM, TGA and BET analyses. The characterization results showed that the MNAs have mesoporous structure, type IV physioresorption and type H3 hysteresis loop character. In order to clarify the comparative and competitive adsorption behaviour, the adsorption capacity of Fe3O4@SiO2-NH@BENZOFENONE MNA was found to be in the order of xylene > ethylbenzene > benzene in both single, binary and ternary component systems. The adsorption kinetics of benzene, xylene and ethylbenzene with Fe3O4@SiO2-NH@BENZOFENONE MNA were found to be governed by multistep mechanisms. Fe3O4@SiO2-NH@BENZOFENONE MNA showed reuse efficiencies of 83.07%, 84.35% and 82.99% after 5 cycles for benzene, xylene and ethylbenzene respectively. In the framework of the results, Fe3O4@SiO2-NH@BENZOPHENONE MNA, which has a high potential in terms of both adsorption capacity and reuse efficiency, is proposed as a promising adsorbent for the efficient removal of benzene, xylene and ethylbenzene. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.Conference Object Competitive Biosorption of Azo-Dyes in Aqueous Solution on Magnetic Biosorbent Nanoparticles(2018) Tarhan, Tuba; Tural, Bilsen; Tural, Servet; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri BölümüAbstract— In this study, glutaraldehyde cross-linked magnetic chitosan nanoparticles (GMCNs) were prepared through crosslinking modification of magnetic chitosan nanoparticles (MCNs) using glutaraldehyde as crosslinker that exhibited excellent adsorption performance Reactive Black 5 (RB5) and Metanil Yellow (MY) in dyes mixture solution. The characterization of synthesized GMCNs was performed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) analyses. Adsorption characteristics of dyes mixture solution on to GMCNs have been studied and results indicated that the adsorption capacities were affected by initial dye concentrations and contact time. The adsorption of dyes mixture solution experiments were well fitted the pseudo-second-order reaction. The technique used in this study offers a convenient and economical method for the preparation of nanoparticles, which can facilitate a higher adsorption capacity and thus more efficient adsorption of dyes in an aqueous solution compared with nature or other synthetic materials Keywords— Azo Dye, Biosorption, Biosorption isotherm, Biosorption kinetics, Magnetic BiosorbentArticle Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Crystal structure, IR and NMR spectra of (E)-2‑methoxy-4-(2-morpholinovinyl)phenol molecule and its DFT calculations(ScienceDirect, 2023) Çavuşoğlu, Mehmet; Altınoz, D.E.; Cavusoglu, M.; Diken, S.; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri BölümüIn this study; molecular structure, IR and NMR spectroscopic properties of (E)-2–methoxy-4-(2- morpholinovinyl)phenol are investigated both experimentally and theoretically for the first time. The structural characterization of the compound was carried out by X-ray diffraction technique. The bond lengths, bond angles and dihedral angles of the compound were optimized using DFT with the B3LYP 6–311G(dp) base set. Using the optimized results, the infrared vibration frequencies and intensities of the compound as well as the 1H and 13C chemical shift values in the NMR spectrum were calculated with the B3LYP 6–311G(dp) basis set. In addition, the potential energy distributions (PED) of the structure were calculated to determine some characteristic vibrational frequencies of the compound. It is found that the theoretically calculated data support the experimental results. As a result, there is a good agreement between the experimentally determined structural parameters, vibrational frequencies, chemical shifts and theoretically calculated data of the compound.Article Citation - WoS: 56Citation - Scopus: 60Cyclophosphamide induced oxidative stress, lipid per oxidation, apoptosis and histopathological changes in rats: Protective role of boron(Elsevier, 2020) Çetik Yıldız, Songül; Şahintürk, Varol; Cetik Yildiz, Songul; Kurcanay Şahin, İlknur; Bilici, Namık; Onur Yaman, Suzan; Altuner, Yılmaz; Appak-Baskoy, Sıla; Ayhanci, Adnan; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri BölümüBackground Cyclophosphamide (CP) is an alkylating chemotherapeutic drug used in the treatment of many types of cancer. However, as with other chemotherapeutic drugs, the use of CP is limited by the damage to healthy tissues such as testes, bladder and liver as well as cancerous tissue. Boron (B) is a trace element with many biological properties such as antioxidant, anti-apoptotic and anti-lipid per oxidation. Methods This current study aims to determine protective effects of B on CP induced testicular toxicity. The rats were divided into 4 groups (control, CP, B and B plus CP groups). The testes of experimental animals were taken for histological, apoptotic markers and biochemical analysis. Results The damage to some seminifer tubules, loss of typical appearance, thinning of seminifer epithelium and relative enlargement of the tubule lumen were watched in testis of the group that administrated CP. Moreover, Bcl-2, TAC and GSH levels decreased while TOC, OSI, MDA, Bax and Caspase-3 levels increased. On the other hand, pretreatment limited to B in the B plus CP group, testicular tissue improved. In addition, Bcl-2, GSH, TAC levels increased, Bax, MDA, TOC, OSI and caspase-3 levels decreased. Conclusion B significantly reduced testicular lipid per-oxidation and strengthened antioxidant defenses. Our results showed that pre-treatment B can protect rat testis against CP-induced testicular damage owing to its anti-lipid per oxidation, anti-oxidant and anti-apoptotic properties.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Determination of hydroxymethylfurfural in Turkish honeys, pekmez (grape molasses), and jam samples by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection(Wiley Online Library, 2022) Umaz, Adil; Aydin, Firat; Umaz, Adil; Kılınc, Ersin; Arslan, Yasin; aydin, Isil; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri BölümüHydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a chemical contaminant that is not naturally present in carbohydrate-containing food samples. The HMF amounts were changed between 4.8 and 214.1 mg/kg in honey; between 7.8 and 204.0 mg/kg in pekmez (grape molasses); between 5.9 and 22.4 mg/kg in strawberry jam; between 6.0 and 65.4 mg/kg in apricot jam; and between 9.2 and 55.9 mg/kg in cherry found by HPLC. The linear calibration plot of HMF was ranged from 0.05 to 10.0 mu g/ml. The correlation coefficient was found to be 0.99997. LOD and LOQ values were found to be 12.0 and 40.0 ng/ml, respectively. According to the experimental results, HMF amounts of four honey samples, three pekmez (grape molasses) samples, one apricot jam, and one cherry jam for investigated samples were found to be higher than the permission amount of Turkish Food Codex. Novelty impact statement Based on experimental results in this study, if the honey is in a transparent package such as a glass, it should be stored in a dark environment. It would be healthier to prefer molasses produced by reliable brands at low temperatures under vacuum instead of molasses made with traditional methods in open boilers. Generally, since jams with high HMF amount have an overcooked or even burnt flavor, this is an extremely negative situation for consumers.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 10Determination of trace Bi by ICP-OES after magnetic solid phase extraction with fullerene C-60 modified gamma-Fe2O3 superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2015) Kılınç, Ersin; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri BölümüIn this research, a procedure for the preconcentration of Bi at trace levels in milk samples prior to inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) is proposed. It is based on the batch magnetic solid phase extraction of Bi ions by fullerene C-60 modified maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3 superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles - SPION) nanoparticles. The various factors that influence the preconcentration of Bi such as pH, the amount of magnetic nanoparticles, initial Bi concentration, sample volume and the effects of possible interfering ions were investigated. A linear analytical curve was achieved in the concentration range of 0.25-10 ng mL(-1) with a limit of detection of 0.06 ng mL(-1). The precision expressed as a RSD was 7.5% for a concentration of 0.25 ng mL(-1). The method was validated by the analysis of a standard reference material (NIST SRM 1643e). In addition, 96.6-98.7% recoveries were achieved for the spiked samples. Bi concentrations in ten milk samples were successfully determined after the developed method was applied. Bi content in the milk samples ranged from 6.5 to 14.3 ng mL(-1).Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Determination of zinc in dried nuts by slotted quartz tube-flame atomic absorption spectrometry (SQT-FAAS) with citric acid-coated magnetic nanoparticle (CAMNP) based solid phase extraction (SPE)(Taylor & Francis inc, 2025) Umaz, Adil; Umaz, Adil; Aydin, Isil; Aydin, Firat; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri BölümüThis study reports a sensitive method for trace zinc using slotted quartz tube-flame atomic absorption spectrometry (SQT-FAAS) with citric acid-coated magnetic nanoparticle-solid phase extraction (CAMNP-SPE).

Herein, novel magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone (1,4-DAAQ), namely, Fe3O4/activated carbon (AC)@SiO2@1,4-DAAQ, were innovatively synthesized via co-precipitation and sol-gel techniques. After that, these nanoparticles were used for high-efficiency removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (i.e., benzene and toluene). The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by various techniques such as Fourier transform IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis. The dynamic adsorption process of VOCs was optimized based on operating parameters. The adsorption experiments revealed that Fe3O4/AC@SiO2@1,4-DAAQ showed exceptional performance for the removal of VOCs. It was observed that for benzene, Fe3O4, AC, Fe3O4/AC, Fe3O4/AC@SiO2, and Fe3O4/AC@SiO2@1,4-DAAQ exhibited dynamic adsorption capacities of 180.25, 228.87, 295.84, 382.10, and 1232.77 mg/g, respectively. Additionally, for toluene, they exhibited dynamic adsorption capacities of 191.08, 274.53, 310.26, 421.30, and 1352.16 mg/g, respectively. This indicated that the modification of 1,4-DAAQ could greatly enhance the dynamic adsorption capacity of Fe3O4/AC@SiO2@1,4-DAAQ for VOCs. In addition to the apparent adsorptive behavior in removing VOCs, Fe3O4/AC@SiO2@1,4-DAAQ exhibited high repeatability. After ten consecutive adsorption/desorption cycles, for benzene and toluene, Fe3O4/AC@SiO2@1,4-DAAQ retained 79.36 and 78.24% of its initial adsorption capacity, respectively. According to the characterization results, the average pore diameter for Fe3O4/AC@SiO2@1,4-DAAQ was determined to be 24.46 nm, indicating that they were in the mesopore range. The adsorption mechanism of the VOCs on Fe3O4/AC@SiO2@1,4-DAAQ was clarified by investigating the isotherm and kinetic criteria in detail. Isotherm models suggested that the adsorption process of VOCs is physical. Moreover, from the analysis of diffusion-based rate-limiting kinetic models, the findings reveal a combination of intraparticle diffusion as well as film diffusion throughout the adsorption process of VOCs. In addition, it was concluded from the analysis of the mass transfer model factors that global mass transfer and internal diffusion are more effective than film diffusion. The results demonstrated that the Fe3O4/AC@SiO2@1,4-DAAQ nanoadsorbent is a promising material for the effective removal of VOCs.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 19Economic fast synthesis of olive leaf extract and silver nanoparticles and biomedical applications(Taylor & Francis Online, 2021) Keskin, Cumali; Aktepe, Necmettin; Baran, Ayşe; Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Aktepe, Necmettin; Yavuz, Ömer; İrtegun Kandemir, Sevgi; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri Bölümü; Department of Nursing / Hemşirelik BölümüIn this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized economically and simply using an environmentally friendly method with the extract obtained from agricultural waste olive leaves. AgNPs synthesized according to the analysis data were determined to have maximum absorbance at 433.5 nm wavelength, spherical appearance, 7.2 nm crystal nano size and -19.9 mV zeta potential. It was determined by the microdilution method with Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) that AgNPs exert a suppressive effect on the growth of pathogen gram-negative, positive bacteria and yeast at very low concentrations. The cytotoxic effects of the particles were investigated on healthy cell lines (HDF) and cancerous cell lines (U118, CaCo-2, Skov-3). AgNPs showed up to 70% suppression in cancer cell lines.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Effects of topiramate on inflammatory parameters in migraine prophylaxis(Wiley Online Library, 2022) Özdemir, Hasan Hüseyin; Dönder, AhmetAim: Many medical agents are used in migraine prophylaxis. Topiramate is used as a first-line treatment option for migraine prophylaxis. It has different side effects, but its effects on inflammatory markers are unknown. In this study, we investigate the effects of topiramate in neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) with migraine patients without aura. Method: In this retrospective study, 60 healthy controls and 78 patients who were followed up and had a diagnosis of migraine and took a topiramate therapy were evaluated pretreatment, 3rd, and 6th months after treatment. The number of days with pain, duration of pain, Migraine Disability Assessment Test (MIDAS), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores of the patients were evaluated before treatment and during the controls. Results and Conclusions: A significant decrease was observed in the painful days, duration of pain, MIDAS, and VAS scores in the evaluations in the 3rd and 6th month periods after the initiation of topiramate. Thrombocytopenia developed in one patient, generalized paresthesia in two patients, and treatment was discontinued for these patients. NLR, PLR, and CRP values before the topiramate treatment were statistically higher than the values at 3rd and 6th months of treatment. Neutrophil, platelet, and lymphocyte counts also decreased during treatment. There was no statistically significant difference between inflammatory parameters and number of days with pain, duration of pain, MIDAS, and VAS scores. NLR, PLR, and CRP values decreased topiramate therapy. Studies are needed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effectiveness of topiramate in the treatment of migraine.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 21Efficacy of antimicrobial peptide LL-37 against biofilm forming Staphylococcus aureus strains obtained from chronic wound infections(Elsevier, 2022) Demir, Cemil; Yigin, Akin; Demir, Cemil; Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri BölümüThe antimicrobial peptide LL-37 showed inhibitory effects against Staphylococcus aureus strains, which often responsible for wound infections. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of biofilm-containing wound infections is important. Thus, this study aimed to investigate both the antimicrobial and biofilm efficacy of LL-37 against biofilm-positive methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) strains and biofilm-positive methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains obtained from chronic wound infections and its effect on different quorum sensing and virulence genes at suboptimal concentrations. Fifteen biofilm-forming MRSA and 15 biofilm-forming MSSA strains were included in this study. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values and biofilm formation were tested by microdilution methods. Real-time PCR was performed to determine gene expression levels. MIC values for LL-37 were 89.6 mg/L and 132.3 mg/L for MSSA and MRSA strains, respectively. No statistically significant difference was found between MRSA and MSSA strains in terms of the effect of LL-37 on biofilm formation. A statistically significant difference was found between MRSA and MSSA strains for atlA, RNAIII, and agrA gene expression levels following exposure to a suboptimal concentration of LL-37. Ultimately, the required LL-37 antimicrobial concentration was quite high; however, LL-37 antibiofilm concentration may be acceptable for use in humans against biofilm-forming MRSA and MSSA strains. This is the first study to investigate to effect of a suboptimal LL-37 concentration on gene expression levels of biofilm-forming MSSA and MRSA strains. LL-37 affected quorum sensing and biofilm producing mechanisms, even at suboptimal MIC concentrations.
