There are different imaging methods used in the evaluation of bone structure, disc, ligaments and muscles that make up Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ). The aim of this review is give information about choice of suitable imaging methods for TMJ diseases from past to present. In the past, conventional radiographs have often been used for TMJ imaging, but nowadays magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard for soft tissue imaging and disc position determination. Another new technology, ultrasonography can be used for disc displacement, effusion, diagnosis of intraarticular defects. Cone beam computed tomography, it is used for the evaluation of cortical and trabecular structure of bone components of TMJ, developmental anomalies and traumatic injuries affecting TMJ, pathological changes such as osteophyte, erosion, fractures, ankylosis, glenoid fossa-condyle relationship. Nowadays, in parallel with the developing technology, a single imaging method is not used for TMJ imaging and evaluation is performed with several imaging methods. Imaging methods should be selected by evaluating the factors such as radiation dose, contribution to diagnosis and treatment plan, easy applicability.

Every day, modern dentistry faces with new technologies, which have begun to be used in daily clinical practice, and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing has brought new technologies and opportunities to all fields of dentistry. The first step is acquiring the true data, which belongs to the patients, digitalization of intraoral structures. By acquiring these data, the restorations can be designed and fabricated by using digital workflow. Dentists have two main options for capturing the data from the related surfaces; one is the direct digitalization and the other one is the indirect digitalization process. In the indirect process, extraoral scanners, which are called lab scanners or cast scanners, are used. Every system has different advantages and disadvantages, and the clinicians or dental technicians should know the technology and different features of these devices to choose the optimal device for their workflow.

Aim: Our aim was to investigate RSV related parameters by comparing clinical findings and physical examination with routinely ordered whole blood counts and biochemical variables in under two age children hospitalized for lower respiratory tract infections. Methods: The sample consisted of 193 children [RSV positive (n=85), RSV negative (n=108)] with lower respiratory tract infections from May 2010 to May 2013. Sociodemographic findings, chief complaints and physical examination findings were retrospectively evaluated. RSV positive and negative groups were compared using Chi-square test (% 95 Confidence Interval- %95 CI), Mann-Whitney U test (p:0,05). Results: No significant differences were found in demographic variables and treatment decisions between two groups. In RSV positive group, higher hyponatremia (p ≤0.001) and AST values (p=0.003) were found. Decreased MPV were determined 71.8% in RSV positive group. RSV positive patients had decreased MPV values (OR:10.929, 95% CI ). Conclusions: Higher hyponatremia and increased AST values were found to be associated with RSV infection; and decreased MPV was significantly related with RSV infection. This is the second study in literature within our knowledge that found decreased MPV values in RSV positive patients. The mechanism related with decreased MPV, hyponatremia, and increased AST values in RSV infection should be investigated further.

The importance of early cancer diagnosis has led to development of many different diagnostic methods. In this context, the studies investigating the presence and amount of sugar residues to use as indicators in the identification of cancer cell type have become prominent. In the present study, sialic acids found on the membrane surfaces of ER (+) MCF-7 and ER (-) MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines were labeled using three dimensional (3D) cell culture (Spheroid) model as the closest method to the patient sample, thus its natural environment, among the cell culture methods. These sugar units that play a role in regulation of important immune characteristics such as recognition, binding and metastasis were made visualizable by applying fluorescent-labeled lectins such as FITC-(Wheat Germ Agglutinin) specifically binding to sialic acid units (GlcNAc, Neu5Ac) including particularly s-GlcNAc and FITC-(Maackia Amurensis-Lectin-1) specifically binding to Gals4GlcNAc type sialic acids. These glycan units were specifically labeled with FITC-(Maackia Amurensis-Lectin-1) and FITC-(Wheat Germ Agglutinin) and radiation intensities were analyzed relatively. The two different breast cancer cell cultures were compared with respect to change in the amounts of sialic acid residues containing α-2,3- and α-2,6 bonds using fluorescent-labeled lectins. In the present study, we have performed a precise, accurate and rapid determination of the sugar content in the different breast cancer cell surface lines by means of fluorescent-labeled lectins and carried out a relative comparison between the micrographs.

Santolina chameacyparissus (Santo) is an evergreen plant which is traditionally used for its anti-inflammatory effects in various diseases. In this study, we aimed to explore the effects of Santo in non-small cell lung cancer cells. We extracted volatile oil from the plant and evaluated cytotoxicity, apoptosis and motility effects of the extract on two non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines; one is a patient derived and the other one is a commercially available. We also identified its components via GS/MS and investigated possible targets of the major components of the plant using qPCR and docking studies. Cytotoxicity tests showed dose dependent cell killing activity and flow cytometry assays exposed apoptotic effects of Santo. The essential oil also remarkably decreased migration rate of A549 cells, therefore we evaluated the expression levels of epithelial to mesenchymal transition related genes E-cadherin and Vimentin ratio, ZEB1 and SNAIL and another motility related gene Ezrin. Santo did not change the expression of EMT related genes but decreased Ezrin levels. According to the results of the GS/MS analysis, Artemisia ketone and Camphor were identified as major molecules of the extract. Docking analysis also revealed that artemisia ketone, the major component of the Santo extract, potentially showed strong binding to the active site of ezrin protein and both artemisia ketone and camphor had ability to bind DNA. The results of the present study indicate that Santo and its components artemisia ketone and camphor are promising anti-cancer agents, and their potential in targeting DNA and oncogenic proteins in the lung cancer cells seems worth to focus on this plant in cancer related drug discovery science.

Myoclonic contractions that may occur after hypoxia might be related to post-hypoxic status epilepticus (PHSE) or Lance Adams syndrome (LAS). It is important to distinguish these two myoclonic conditions in terms of treatment and prognosis. In the literature, both PHSE and LAS have not been reported in pediatric age group including adolescents. Here we report an adolescent case with chronic renal failure who developed PHSE and then LAS after a long-term cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Chest pain is highly prevalent in adolescence, represents a considerable burden for health services, and rarely associated with cardiac disease. Since psychosocial factors are related to chest pain there is a need for exploring the accompanying family functioning and mental health problems in adolescents with non-cardiac chest pain. Here, we assessed these determinants in 68 adolescents with non-cardiac chest pain and 68 age and-sex matched control participants using the 4-item Patient Health Questionnaire-4 for a brief screening for anxiety and depression and the Family APGAR Scale to assess the perception of family functioning. Adolescents with non-cardiac chest pain reported more depression, anxiety, and experienced impaired family functioning (p=0.003, p<0.001, p<0.001). The results indicated that non-cardiac chest pain is a warning sign of an underlying mental health problem with accompanying family issues and it deserves further psychosocial investigation including anxiety, depression, and impaired satisfaction of the adolescents’ family’s responsiveness.
