Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 14Preconcentration with Bacillus subtilis-Immobilized Amberlite XAD-16: Determination of Cu2+ and Ni2+ in River, Soil, and Vegetable Samples(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2015) Okumus, Veysi; Ozdemir, Sadin; Kilinc, Ersin; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Yuksel, Uyan; Baysal, ZubeydeSolid-phase extraction (SPE) method was developed for the preconcentration of Cu2+ and Ni2+ before their determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Bacillus subtilis-immobilized Amberlite XAD-16 was used as biosorbent. Effects of critical parameters such as pH, flow rate of samples, amount of Amberlite XAD-16 and biosorbent, sample volume, eluent type, and volume and concentration of eluent on column preconcentration of Cu2+ and Ni2+ were optimized. Applicability of the method was validated through the analysis of the certified reference tea sample (NCS ZC73014). Sensitivity of ICP-OES was improved by 36.4-fold for Cu2+ and 38.0-fold for Ni2+ by SPE-ICP-OES method. Limit of quantitation (LOQ) was found to be 0.7 and 1.1ng/ml for Cu2+ and Ni2+, respectively. Concentrations of Cu2+ and Ni2+ were determined by ICP-OES after application of developed method. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) were lower than 4.9% for Cu2+ and 7.9% for Ni2+. The Tigris River that irrigates a large agricultural part of Southeast Turkey is polluted by domestic and industrial wastes. Concentrations of Cu2+ and Ni2+ were determined in water, soil, and some edible vegetables as a biomonitor for heavy metal pollution.Article Citation - WoS: 65Citation - Scopus: 70Cyclophosphamide induced oxidative stress, lipid per oxidation, apoptosis and histopathological changes in rats: Protective role of boron(Elsevier, 2020) Cengiz, Mustafa; Şahintürk, Varol; Cetik Yildiz, Songul; Kurcanay Şahin, İlknur; Bilici, Namık; Onur Yaman, Suzan; Altuner, Yılmaz; Appak-Baskoy, Sıla; Ayhanci, AdnanBackground 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: 25Citation - Scopus: 29Economic fast synthesis of olive leaf extract and silver nanoparticles and biomedical applications(Taylor & Francis Online, 2021) Atalar, Mehmet Nuri; Baran, Ayşe; Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Keskin, Cumali; Aktepe, Necmettin; Yavuz, Ömer; İrtegun Kandemir, SevgiIn 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 Investigation of toxin genes in Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated in Mustafa Kemal University Hospital(2011) Demir Cemil; Aslantas, Ozkan; Duran, Nızamı; Ocak, S; Özer, BurcınAim: The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of genes encoding staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs), exfoliative toxins (ETAs, ETBs), and toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from various clinical samples from the Mustafa Kemal University Hospital. In addition, PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the coa gene was employed to genotype the isolates. Materials and methods: A total of 120 S. aureus strains isolated from various clinical samples (blood, wounds, urine, conjuctival swabs, and tracheal aspirate) over a 1 year period, 2007-2008, were used in this study. Results: Almost 65.8% of the isolates possessed at least one toxin gene. The genes most frequently found were seg-sei (40.8%), followed by sea (30%) and eta (19.2%). Overall, 35 toxin genotypes were observed, among which the genotypes seg-sei, sea-seg-sei, and sea-see predominated at the rate of 8.3%, 5.8%, and 5%, respectively. Four coagulase genotype patterns were observed, with molecular sizes ranging from 570 to 970 bp. Coo-based RFLP analysis revealed 7 different patterns using Conclusion: Our results have revealed that toxin genes were very prevalent among S. aureus isolates, and the toxigenic isolates were independent of the genotypes obtained by PCR-RFLP of the coa gene (P > 0.05).Article Citation - WoS: 57Citation - Scopus: 58O-carboxymethyl chitosan Schiff base complexes as affinity ligands for immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography of lysozyme(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018) Acet, Ömür; Baran, Talat; Erdönmez, Demet; Aksoy, Neşe Hayat; Alacabey, İhsan; Menteş, Ayfer; Odabaşı, MehmetWe synthesized Ni2+-attached O-Carboxymethyl chitosan Schiff base complexes embedded composite cryogels (Ni2+-O-CMCS-CCs) by means of polymerization of gel-forming precursors at subzero temperatures. Prepared affinity cryogel showed excellent adsorption performance for lysozyme selected as model protein to test adsorption parameters, demonstrating an adsorption capacity of 244.6 mg/g (15.3 mg/g for Ni2+ minus O-CMCS-CCs), with fast adsorption equilibrium within 30 min and good reversibility. The performance of Ni2+-O-CMCS-CCs for lysozyme was also evaluated by SDS-PAGE, and a purification efficiency of 86.9% with 89.5% purification yield was determined. The swelling test, FT-IR, and SEM analysis were carried out for the characterization of Ni2+-O-CMCS-CCs. At the end of 35 adsorption-desorption cycles, there was no significant change in the adsorption capacity. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.

PDMS was firstly applied for the removal of carbol fuchsin (CF) cationic organic dye pollution in this study. Besides, the adsorption capacity of 3D PDMS for removal of the CF was found quite high compared to other materials in already published results. The synthesized PDMS was characterized using several spectroscopic and imaging techniques such as FTIR, Raman, SEM, stereomicroscope, EDX, UV/Vis, and TGA. The optimal conditions were found as 10 mg L−1 initial concentration, 20 mg of adsorbent dose, 2 h contact time, pH 10, and 25°C temperature. The removal % of CF and the maximum adsorption capacity were calculated at approximately 89% and 88.8 mg g−1, respectively. Furthermore, the equilibrium studies showed that the Langmuir isotherm model fitted well with the removal of CF. Moreover, according to the kinetic results, the second-order kinetic model was found suitable (qe,cal 89.3 mg g−1 and qe,exp 88.8 mg g−1 close to each other) for the adsorption of CF. Also, the thermodynamic studies indicated that adsorption occurs spontaneously, and the adsorption process was physical adsorption. Besides, the reusability of the adsorbent was studied. Practitioner points: Water treatment technology should be low cost, economically viable and in the meantime, eco-friendly. The 3D porous PDMS was prepared by using cheap material with a highly simple method and eco-friendly This unique material was firstly applied for the removal of organic dye in water in this study.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 7Investigation into the protective effects of Hypericum Triquetrifolium Turra seed against cyclophosphamide-induced testicular injury in Sprague Dawley rats(Taylor & Francis Online, 2022) Can, Senanur; Çetik Yıldız, Songül; Keskin, Cumali; Şahintürk, Varol; Cengiz, Mustafa; Appak Başköy, Sıla; Ayhanci, Adnan; Akıncı, GülsemaFor centuries, Turkey has been a significant location here around 80 species of Hypericum with differing names widely occur, which is also known as Turkish folk medicine in treating some bacterial diseases as well as stomach and intestine inflammation. Recent studies have reported this herb family to contain numbers of bioactive compound contents. The study aims to investigate the protective effects of Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra (HT) upon oxidative stress and apoptosis in a rat model in which testes injury was induced by CP. The testicular injury was caused using CP (150 mg/kg). The rats were treated with a single dose (100 mg/kg) of methanol extract of HT to investigate various biochemical markers in the serum and plasma of blood samples apart from assessing the prognosis of CP-induced testicular damage. Added to that, histological analyses were performed to identify possible structural changes and apoptotic indicators, like Bax, Caspase-3, and Bcl-2. In CP Group, there was a rise in the levels of total oxidant status (TOS), malondialdehyde (MDA), oxidative stress index (OSI), Caspase-3, and Bax while superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), Bcl-2, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) all decreased. Also, our histological analysis showed damaged testes. On the other hand, neither biochemical nor histological analysis showed testicular damage in HT Alone Group. In CP + HT Group, a significant number of the negatives changes due to CP were observed to have improved remarkably following an HT treatment. This study results suggest that HT could help improve CP-induced testicular injury thanks to its anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic properties.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 14In-Vitro Antioxidant, Cytotoxic, Cholinesterase Inhibitory Activities and Anti-Genotoxic Effects of Hypericum Retusum Aucher Flowers, Fruits and Seeds Methanol Extracts in Human Mononuclear Leukocytes(Iranian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research, 2017) Keskin, C.; Keskin, Cumali; Aktepe, N.; Aktepe, Necmettin; Yükselten, Y.; Asuman,; Boğa, M.; 21.02.

Vocational School of Health Services / Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiThe present study investigates the antioxidant, anticancer, anticholinesterase, anti-genotoxic activities and phenolic contents of flower, fruit and seed methanol extracts of Hypericum retusum AUCHER. The amounts of protocatechuic acid, catechin, caffeic acid and syringic acid in methanol extracts were determined by HPLC. Total phenolic content of H. retusum seed extract was found more than fruit and flower extracts. The DPPH free radical scavenging activity of flower and seed methanol extracts showed close activity versus BHT as control. Among three extracts of H. retusum only flower methanol extract was exhibited considerable cytotoxic activities against to HeLa and NRK-52E cell lines. Moreover, seed methanol extract showed both acetyl and butyrl-cholinesterase inhibitory activity. The highest anti-genotoxic effects were seen 25 and 50 μg/mL concentrations. In this study, the extracts showed a strong antioxidant and anti-genotoxic effect. The seed extract was more efficient- than extracts of fruit and flowers. Our results suggest that the antioxidant and anti-genotoxic effects of extracts depend on their phenolic contents. Further studies should evaluate the in-vitro and in-vivo the benefits of H. retusum seed methanol extracts. © 2017 by School of Pharmacy.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 16In situ atom trapping of Bi on W-coated slotted quartz tube flame atomic absorption spectrometry and interference studies(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2013) Kilinc, Ersin; Bakirdere, Sezgin; Aydin, Firat; Ataman, O. YavuzAnalytical performances of metal coated slotted quartz tube flame atomic absorption spectrometry (SQT-FAAS) and slotted quartz tube in situ atom trapping flame atomic absorption spectrometry (SQT-AT-FAAS) systems were evaluated for determination of Bi. Non-volatile elements such as Mo, Zr, W and Ta were tried as coating materials. It was observed that W-coated SQT gave the best sensitivity for the determination of Bi for SQT-FAAS and SQT-AT-FMS. The parameters for W-coated SQT-FAAS and W-coated SQT-AT-FAAS were optimized. Sensitivity of FAAS for Bi was improved as 4.0 fold by W-coated SQT-FAAS while 613 fold enhancement in sensitivity was achieved by W-coated SQT-AT-FAAS using 5.0 min trapping with respect to conventional FAAS. MIBK was selected as organic solvent for the re-atomization of Bi from the trapping surface. Limit of detection values for W-coated SQT-FAAS and W-coated SQT-AT-FAAS was obtained as 0.14 mu g mL(-1) and 0.51 ng mL(-1), respectively. Linear calibration plot was obtained in the range of 2.5-25.0 ng mL(-1) for W-coated SQT-AT-FAAS. Accuracy of the W-coated SQT-AT-FAAS system was checked by analyzing a standard reference material, NIST 1643e. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

A Clinical Trial(Anesthesiology and pain medicine, 2019) Sedigh Maroufi, Shahnam; Moradimajd, Parisa; Moosavi, Seyed Ali Akbar; Imani, Farnad; Samaee, Hamidreza; Oguz, MehmetBackground: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is considered a common complication of anesthesia, which, particularly in eye surgery, may exert pressure on stitches and open or leak the surgical wound, leading to bleeding. Objectives: We aimed to study the effect of ginger on PONV and changes in vital signs after eye surgery. Methods: In this triple-blind randomized controlled trial, 120 candidate patients for eye surgery were divided into group A (n = 40) and group B (n = 40). Patients in group A received the capsules of ginger 1 g while patients in group B received a placebo one hour before the procedure with 30 mL water. The incidence of nausea and the frequency of vomiting were evaluated at 0, 15, 30 minutes, and 2 hours after the operation. Also, the vital signs of the participants were recorded at certain times. Results: The results demonstrated a statistically significant difference in the frequency of nausea between group A and group B (P < 0.05). The severity of nausea was lower in group A than in group B immediately and 2 hours after recovery (P < 0.05). The incidence of vomiting was significantly lower in group A than in group B (P < 0.05). The vital signs were not significantly different between group A and group B (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Ginger was effective in the prevention of PONV after eye surgery but had no impact on vital signs. Hence, ginger is proposed to use as a low-cost, prophylactic measure for PONV reduction.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 6Several biological properties and synthesis of 2-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl) ethoxy substitute zinc phthalocyanine(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2023) Güngördü Solgun, Derya; Özdemir, Sadin; Dündar, Abdurrahman; Ağırtaş, Mehmet SalihIn this study, 4-(2-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl) ethoxy) phthalonitrile (3) and zinc phthalocyanine complex (4) were synthesized and characterized. UV–vis and fluorescence spectra, aggregation, and fluorescence parameters of the zinc phthalocyanine compound were investigated. As biological properties, DPPH radical capture, antidiabetic, DNA cutting, antimicrobial, photodynamic antimicrobial, anti-biofilm activities, and microbial cell viability parameters of the compounds were determined. The highest antioxidant activity was found as 62.80% at 100 mg/L concentration with compound 4, and compound 4 also showed the best antidiabetic activity as 65.17% at 400 mg/L concentration. In DNA cutting activity, it was determined that 3 and 4 cut DNA at all concentrations. For compounds 3–4, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were found to be 32 and 16 mg/L for Enterococcus hirae and Enterococcus feacalis, respectively. The strongest MIC value of photodynamic antimicrobial activity was achieved as 4 mg/L for E. feacalis with 4. It was observed that both compounds inhibited the microbial viability activity of Escherichia coli by 100% at concentrations of 100 mg/L. Compound 4 inhibited biofilms of Pseudomonas aureginosa and Staphylococcus aureus as 92.48% and 98.56% at 50 mg/L concentration, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 29Preparation, spectral studies, theoretical, electrochemical and antibacterial investigation of a new Schiff base and its some metal complexes(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2014) Ilhan, S.; Baykara, H.; Seyitoglu, M.

In this work, the L-asparaginase (L-ASNase) obtained from Escherichia coli was chosen as a model enzyme and immobilized onto the Fe3O4@Au-carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) through adsorption. TEM, SEM, FT-IR, XRD, EDS, and TGA analyses were performed to examine the structure with and without L-ASNase. The yield of immobilized L-ASNase on Fe3O4@Au-CMC was found to be 68%. The biochemical properties such as optimum pH, optimum temperature, reusability, and thermal stability of the Fe3O4@Au-CMC/L-ASNase were comprehensively investigated. For instance, Fe3O4@Au-CMC/L-ASNase reached maximum activity at pH 7.0 and the optimum temperature was found to be 50 °C. The noticeably lower Ea value of the Fe3O4@Au-CMC/L-ASNase revealed the enhanced catalytic activity of this enzyme after immobilization. The Km and Vmax values were 3.27 ± 0.48 mM, and 51.54 ± 0.51 μmol min−1 for Fe3O4@Au-CMC/L-ASNase, respectively, which means good substrate affinity. The Fe3O4@Au-CMC/L-ASNase retained 65% of its initial activity even after 90 min at 60 °C. Moreover, it maintained more than 75% of its original activity after 10 cycles, indicating its excellent reusability. The results obtained suggested that this investigation highlights the use of MNPs as a support for the development of more economical and sustainable immobilized enzyme systemsArticle Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 25Investigation of the effectiveness of waste nut shell–based hydrochars in water treatment: a model study for the adsorption of methylene blue(SpringerLink, 2022) Teğin, İbrahim; Demirel, Mehmet Ferit; Alacabey, İhsan; Yabalak, ErdalThousands of tons of walnut and pistachio green outer shells emerge as waste sources. Recycling such wastes in environmental applications is of great importance. In this study, the efciency of waste walnut and pistachio shell–based hydrochars in removing methylene blue (MB), which represents hazardous chemicals, from the water was investigated. Outer green pistachio shell–based hydrochar (PH) and outer green walnut shell–based hydrochar (WH) were characterized by FT-IR, SEM, EDX, TG–DTA, and BET analyses. The adsorption of MB was carried out at diferent concentrations and temperatures using WH and PH, and the adsorption parameters of Langmuir and Freundlich were investigated. The R2 values of PH were calculated as 0.9963, 0.9974, and 0.9950 and of WH adsorbent were calculated as 0.9759, 0.9939, and 0.9981 for the MB adsorption at 298 K, 313 K, and 323 K, respectively. The separation factor (RL) values for WH and PH were calculated as 0.1650≥RL≥0.103, 0.1108≥RL≥0.0177, respectively. Both adsorbents ft the Langmuir model. The ΔH° values of the WH and PH adsorbents were found to be 37.0940 and 22.2493, respectively. Positive ΔH° values indicated that the adsorption was endothermic. The negative ΔG° values of both adsorbents indicated a spontaneous adsorption process. It was shown that waste nut shell–based hydrochars can be used efectively in water treatment.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 5Evaluation as time-dependent of pesticides applied in pre-harvest period of grown vegetables: removal of pesticide residues in the vegetables(Taylor & Francis Online, 2022) Elmastas, Ayhan; Umaz, Adil; Pirinc, Vedat; Aydin, FiratPesticide use has benefits such as increasing the quality and amount of food required to sustain the human population. However, its harmful effects on the environment and human health are of great concern. The aim of this study was to evaluate concentrations as timedependent of the pesticide and the removal of pesticide residues in vegetable samples with the aid of the QuEChERS 2007.01 procedure. The analytical method has been validated according to SANTE/12682/2019. Good linearity (2.5–100 ng/mL, R2 > 0.99) was observed, and the recovery yields ranged from 94.76% to 104.03%, repeatability (RSDr) ranged from 2.33% to 4.59% and reproducibility (RSDwR) ranged from 4.06% to 8.40%. LOD and LOQ values were determined to be 3.00 ng/g and 10.00 ng/g, respectively. The grown tomato, eggplant and cucumber samples were sprayed with drugs against pests and diseases. Imidacloprid in the grown tomato, cucumber and eggplant samples was determined to be 0.026, 0.186 and 0.096 mg/kg, respectively. Trifloxystrobin was determined to be 0.102, 0.129 and 0.063 mg/kg, respectively. It was determined that pesticide residue in vegetable samples decreases by washing and peeling but does not disappear completely. The peeling process was determined to be more effective than washing. The concentration of pesticide residues in the shell part was found to be hight than in the whole product. Thus, it is important to consume vegetables with their skin peeled and to consume the unpeeled ones by washing them with water at least.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 19Green synthesis and characterization of selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) from the skin (testa) of Pistacia vera L. (Siirt pistachio) and investigation of antimicrobial and anticancer potentials(SpringerLink, 2023) Keskin, Cumali; Mehmet Fırat Baran, Cumali Keskin, Ayşe Baran, Kadri Kurt, Polat İpek, Aziz Eftekhari, Rovshan Khalilov, Ismayil Fridunbayov, William C. ChoMetallic nanoparticles created by ecologically friendly synthesis processes are becoming increasingly useful in a variety of applications. Because of their strong bioactive component qualities, biocompatible architectures, high stability, and low toxicity, green-produced selenium nanoparticles are particularly signifcant materials for various medicinal applications. Plants include a wealth of essential phytochemicals with therapeutic and medical capabilities. Pistachio vera L. (Siirt pistachio) is a seasonal fruit that is frequently consumed for its nutritional worth and health advantages. However, the outer colored skin of the P. vera (Siirt pistachio) fruit, which is not consumed, contains many biologically active compounds. In this study, plant-mediated synthesis of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) was successfully accomplished after adding the sodium selenite solution to the aqueous extract of P. vera colored skin waste. The synthesized Se NPs were characterized with UV–Vis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta distribution, atomic force microscope (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), thermogravimetric (TGA) and diferential thermal analysis, X-ray difraction (XRD), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDX). Biogenic Pistacia vera (PV) PV-SeNPs were also tested for their ability to suppress the development of various pathogenic bacteria and cancerous cell lines. The UV-visible (UV–Vis) spectra revealed an absorption peak at 325 nm, which refected the surface plasmon band. The signifcant selenium signal on the EDX spectrum at 1.5 keV confrmed the creation of Se NPs. The presence of several peaks on the FTIR spectrum of the aqueous extract of Pv and the nanoparticles indicated the presence of some important functional groups such as amines, carbonyl compounds, and phenols, which are important in facilitating the process of capping and bioreduction, as well as conferring stability to nanoparticles. The TEM microphotographs revealed that the nanoparticles were highly distributed, had a spherical morphological form, and were monodisperse below 10 nm. Biogenic Pv-SeNPs exhibited similar antimicrobial activity as standard antibiotics. However, it was determined that the cytotoxic activity of Se-NPs against cancer cell lines was quite high depending on the dose and time. As a result, the Pv-SeNPs are likely to be extremely benefcial in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors, as well as in the food and cosmetic industries, in producing antimicrobial and/or anticancer medications.Article Citation - WoS: 108Citation - Scopus: 116Investigation of Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Properties and Specification of Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) Derived From Cicer arietinum L. Green Leaf Extract(FRONTIERS, 2022) Baran, Ayşe; Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Keskin, Cumali; Hatipoğlu, AbdulkerimUsing biological materials to synthesize metallic nanoparticles has become a frequently preferred method by researchers. This synthesis method is both fast and inexpensive. In this study, an aqueous extract obtained from chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) (CA) leaves was used in order to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). For specification of the synthesized AgNPs, UV-vis spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron dispersive X-ray (EDX), and zeta potential (ZP) analyses data were used. Biologically synthesized AgNPs demonstrated a maximum surface plasmon resonance of 417.47 nm after 3 h. With the powder XRD model, the mean crystallite dimension of nanoparticles was determined as 12.17 mm with a cubic structure. According to the TEM results, the dimensions of the obtained silver nanoparticles were found to be 6.11–9.66 nm. The ZP of the electric charge on the surface of AgNPs was measured as −19.6 mV. The inhibition effect of AgNPs on food pathogen strains and yeast was determined with the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) method. AgNPs demonstrated highly effective inhibition at low concentrations especially against the growth of B. subtilis (0.0625) and S. aureus (0.125) strains. The cytotoxic effects of silver nanoparticles on cancerous cell lines (CaCo-2, U118, Sk-ov-3) and healthy cell lines (HDF) were revealed. Despite the increase of AgNPs used against cancerous and healthy cell lines, no significant decrease in the percentage of viability was detected.

Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri Bölümü; 21. Vocational School of Health Services / Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiThe concentrations of Cd, Ni, Cu, Pb, Cr, Fe, B, and A1 were determined in four different medicinal plants of the Hyoscyamus species: Hyoscyamus reticulums L, Hyoscyamus leptocalyx STAPF, Hyoscyamus aureus L, and Hyoscyamus albus L by ICP-OES. By considering the sensitivity of ICP-OES with respect to the trace level determination of Cd, Ni, Cu, Pb, Cr, Fe, B, and Al in the studied plant samples and the limitations of sample amount possible in a microwave digestion procedure, the ashing method was applied before analysis and proved the quantitative measurements of the elements.The accuracy of the method was verified by comparison to the certified reference sample NCSZC 73014 Tea Leaves. The RSD values were between 0.14-10.4%, while the error values were in the 90-107% range. The results show that with the proposed method higher concentrations of Ni, Cr, Pb, Fe, and B were determined in H. aureus. Interestingly, the concentration of Cu in H. reticulatus was approximately 48.5 times higher than the mean Cu values of the other three Hyoscyamus species, while the Pb concentration levels in H. aureus were 17.8 times higher than in the H. reticulatus L, H. leptocalyx STAPF, and H. albus L species.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, ErsinIn 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: 39Citation - Scopus: 43Fabrication and characterization of Fe3O4/perlite, Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2, and Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2@sulfanilamide magnetic nanomaterials(SpringerLink, 2022) Kutluay, Sinan; Şahin, Ömer; Ece, Mehmet ŞakirAbstract In this study, the fabrication of perlite-supported Fe3O4 (Fe3O4/perlite), SiO2-coated Fe3O4/perlite (Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2), and sulfanilamide-modified Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2 (Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2@sulfanilamide) magnetic nanomaterials and their characterization by various spectroscopic techniques were presented. For this purpose, first, Fe3O4/perlite was fabricated via the co-precipitation method. Then, Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2 and Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2@sulfanilamide nanomaterials were fabricated using the sol–gel method. The structural properties of the fabricated nanomaterials were characterized using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), SEM-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis-differential thermal analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The SEM, SEM–EDX, FTIR, and XRD analyses revealed that the fabrication and surface coatings of the Fe3O4/perlite, Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2, and Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2@sulfanilamide were successfully performed. It was concluded that the Fe3O4/perlite, Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2, and Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2@sulfanilamide showed a type IV-H3 hysteresis loop according to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry classification. According to the BET analysis, it was found that the specific surface areas of the Fe3O4/perlite, Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2, and Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2@sulfanilamide were 8.09, 12.71, and 5.89 m2/g, respectively. The average pore radius of the Fe3O4/perlite, Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2, and Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2@sulfanilamide were 9.68, 7.91, and 34.69 nm, respectively, using the Barrett-Joyner-Halenda method. Moreover, the half-pore widths of the Fe3O4/perlite, Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2, and Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2@sulfanilamide were 2.27, 1.58, and 17.99 nm, respectively, using the density functional theory method. Furthermore, in light of characterization findings, the Fe3O4/perlite, Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2, and Fe3O4/perlite@SiO2@sulfanilamide were in crystalline cubic spinel form, and they had mechanical and thermal stability and a mesoporous structure. Within the framework of the results, these developed nanomaterials, which have potential in many applications, such as sustainable technologies and environmental safety technologies, were brought to the attention of related fields.
