Aim: This study aimed to determine the aflatoxin and heavy metal levels in the samples of unpackaged red pepper, black pepper and cumin sold in Van and to estimate the health risks of heavy metals. Materials and Methods: In 60 samples (20 of each spice sample) obtained from herbal shops and markets, aflatoxin analysis was done with HPLC device and heavy metal analysis was done with ICP-MS device. Results: Although AFG1 and AFG2 were not detected in all spice samples, AFB1 and AFB2 were not detected in all cumin samples, AFB1 was detected in all red pepper samples and only one black pepper samples, and AFB2 in 18 red pepper samples. As a result of heavy metal analysis, the average concentration of Ni, Cd, Pb and Al were 5.08, 0.35, 2.47, 392.45 ppm in black pepper, 9.12, 0.20, 1.40, 514.4 ppm in cumin and 8.95, 0.06, 0.11, 33.75 ppm in red pepper, respectively. Arsenic was detected only in cumin and its average concentration was 0.06 ppm. Conclusion: In 90% (18 samples) of red pepper samples, AFB1 was detected above the permisisble limit value in Turkish food codex. The Cd level in black pepper samples and Ni levels in all spice samples determined in this study were above the limit values. According to daily intake tolerance limits, although Ni, As, and Cd levels in spices do not pose any risk, Al in all spice samples and Pb levels in black pepper samples are above the daily intake tolerance limits. Spice samples do not pose risk of non-carcinogenic effects, as THQ exposure values are less than 1.

Nanopartiküller (NP’ler) 1 ile 100 nm arasında bulunan partiküllere verilen isimdir. NP’ler normal malzemelerden farklı belirli fiziksel ve kimyasal özelliklerinden dolayı ticari kullanım için yapay olarak sentezlenmekte, endüstriyel üretim esnasında kasıtsız bir yan ürün veya doğal olarak meydana gelmektedir. Her gün gelişmekte olan nanoteknoloji, elektronik, tıp, inşaat, kozmetik, tekstil, otomotiv, çevre, gıda, ev aletleri, yenilebilir enerji, petrol, tarım, matbaacılık, spor ve sağlık gibi alanlarda kullanılmaktadır. En yaygın kullanılan NP’ler ise gümüş (Ag), titanyum (Ti) ve silikon dioksit (SiO2) veya karbon (C) tabanlı olanlardır. Ticari olarak üretilen NP'ler, üretim aşamalarında veya yaşam döngülerinin son aşamasında atık ürünler olarak sucul ortama deşarj edilebilmektedir. Bu NP'ler yüzey veya yeraltı suyu ortamlarına geçebilmektedir. Su kaynaklarına doğrudan, yağış veya topraktan süzülüp gelen NP’ler balık, kabuklular ve hatta tek hücreli organizmalar gibi sucul organizmalara yönelik önemli etkilere neden olabilmektedirler. Sucul organizmalar NP’lere solungaçları, yutma, dermal temas, hücrelere adsorpsiyon gibi yollarla maruz kalmaktadırlar. NP’ler canlılarda lipid peroksidasyonuna, hücre yapısının bozulmasına, mitokondride bozulmaya, protein oksidasyonuna ve DNA hasarı gibi etkilere neden olmaktadırlar. NP’ler çevresel risk değerlendirmeleri çoğunlukla tüm risk faktörlerini dikkate almayan standart laboratuvar koşulları altında gerçekleştirilmektedir. Bu nedenle çevre ve atık su ortamları gibi karmaşık ortamlara salınan NP’lerin bu ortamlardaki davranışları laboratuvar ortamından farklı olabilmektedir.
纳米粒子(NPs)是指 1 到 100 纳米之间的颗粒。由于某些物理和化学性质不同于普通材料,纳米粒子是人工合成的商业用途,是工业生产过程中无意产生的副产品或自然产生的物质。纳米技术的发展日新月异,其应用领域包括电子、医药、建筑、化妆品、纺织品、汽车、环境、食品、家用电器、可再生能源、石油、农业、印刷、体育和健康等。使用最广泛的纳米粒子是基于银(Ag)、钛(Ti)和二氧化硅(SiO2)或碳(C)的粒子。商业生产的纳米粒子在生产阶段或生命周期结束时会作为废品排入水生环境。这些氮氧化物可进入地表水或地下水环境。直接进入水体、通过降水进入水体或从土壤中沥滤进入水体的氮磷态污染物会对鱼类、甲壳类甚至原生动物等水生生物造成严重影响。水生生物通过鳃、摄食、皮肤接触和细胞吸附等途径接触氮氧化物。氮氧化物会导致脂质过氧化、细胞结构破坏、线粒体破坏、蛋白质氧化和 DNA 损伤。对 NPs 的环境风险评估大多是在标准实验室条件下进行的,没有考虑到所有风险因素。因此,释放到环境和废水环境等复杂环境中的氮氧化物的行为可能与实验室环境不同。

This study was carried out in order to compile the information obtained from current studies in Turkey on the use of pesticides and antibiotics and metal residue in other bee products, especially honey, offered for human consumption. The beekeeping sector has been rapidly advancing towards industrialization both in our country and around the world. It is rapidly progressing towards becoming an additional income especially for families located in rural areas. Honey should be clean and healthy by nature. As in other living things including humans, various pesticides and antibiotics are used against viral, bacterial, fungal and ectoparasites in honeybees, although their use is prohibited. Therefore, there is a drug residue problem in bee products, especially honey, in our country and in the world. At this point, both bee health and human health are adversely affected. In order to prevent this situation, people working in the health sector, especially veterinarians, have great duties. First of all, beekeeper should be made aware, and researchers should accelerate their efforts to find the most appropriate treatment methods against honey bee diseases by researching natural treatment methods instead of pesticides and antibiotics. These studies should be supported by both the state and the private sector.

Objective: Tension-type headache (TTH) with an average lifetime prevalence of 46% (12-78%) in adults is the most common primary headache type. Acupuncture treatment is one of the adjunctive therapy in tension type headache so we wanted to evaluate the response difference of acupuncture between genders. Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, the medical records of TTH patients, aged between 18 and 60, who did not receive conventional medical treatment (patient refusing medical treatment or intolerance due to drug side effects) and completed pre-determined sessions of acupuncture therapy in the outpatient clinics between 2017 and 2019 were evaluated. The monthly attack frequency, attack severity (Visual Analogue Scale), and the duration of attacks before and after acupuncture treatment between genders were documented. Results: A total of 17 patients meeting the study criteria were included in the study. No statistically significant difference in the frequency, the duration, and the severity of monthly attacks before and after the treatment were found between the genders. The monthly attack frequency and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score were found to be significantly decreased in women themselves before and after treatment in themselves. There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency, duration and severity of monthly attacks before and after the treatment among the men. Conclusion: Acupuncture should be considered as an alternative treatment option, especially in women with chronic TTH who do not want to use drugs or who have tolerability problems due to side effects or combination with medical therapy.

Physiotherapy approaches appeal to all individuals in society, including healthy individuals. Physical Activity Counseling (PAC), one of these applications, can be defined as providing verbal and written advice or guidance to encourage increased physical activity and can be applied face-to-face or with technology-based methods. PAC, one of the preventive health services, is recommended by many public health organizations, including the World Health Organization. The aim of this review is to research the literature about the role and applications of PAC in preventive health and to provide current evidence-based information to clinicians and academics working in this field.

Jujuba (Ziziphus jujuba) has a long history of usage as a fruit and remedy. The main biologically active components are vitamin C, phenolics, flavonoids, triterpenic acids, and polysaccharides. Many phytochemical studies of jujuba fruits indicate that Z. jujuba has important biological effects, such as the anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiobesity, immunostimulant, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective and gastrointestinal protective activities. This review aims to explain bioactive characteristics of Z. jujuba by several examples of studies.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine clinical findings associated with vitamin B12 deficiency in patients presenting to the pediatric neurology department with various different symptoms and to discuss these in the light of the current literature. Materials and Methods: Children aged between one month and 18 years presenting to the Balikesir University Medical Faculty pediatric neurology clinic, Turkey, between 01.08.2019-01.08.2021 and with vitamin B12 levels lower than 250 ng/mL were included in this retrospective, cross-sectional study. Results: One hundred sixty-one cases were included in the study 63 (39.1%) female and 98 (60.9%) male. The patients’ mean age was 7.43±5.77 (0-17) years. The majority of patients of both genders were in the 0-6 age group. Neurological findings were present in 81.98% of patients with Vitamin B12 deficiency, and non-neurological findings in 18.01%. The most frequent neurological finding was neuromotor retardation (N=73, 45.34%), followed by seizures (N=33, 20.50%).The most frequent reason for presentation was neuromotor retardation in both boys and girls with vitamin B12 deficiency (N=55, 56.1% and N=18, 28.57%). The mean Vitamin B12 level among all the patients was 167.70±45.17 (58-250) pg/ml. No statistically significant difference was determined between boys and girls in terms of Vitamin B12 and ferritin levels or complete blood count parameters [Hb, Htc, and MCV] (respectively p = 0,428, p = 0,646, p = 0,110, p = 0,128, p = 0,864). Conclusions: This study provides a general evaluation for health professionals regarding clinical presentations encountered by us in association with the disease
目的:本研究的目的是确定在小儿神经科出现各种不同症状的患者中与维生素B12缺乏症相关的临床表现,并结合目前的文献对这些症状进行讨论。材料和方法:这项回顾性横断面研究纳入了2019年8月1日至2021年8月1日期间在土耳其Balikesir大学医学院儿科神经病学诊所就诊的年龄在1个月至18岁之间、维生素B12水平低于250 ng/mL的儿童。结果:共纳入161例患者,女性63例(39.1%),男性98例(60.9%)。患者平均年龄为7.43±5.77(0 ~ 17)岁。男女患者以0-6岁年龄组居多。81.98%的维生素B12缺乏症患者出现神经系统症状,18.01%的患者出现非神经系统症状。最常见的神经学表现为神经运动迟缓(N=73, 45.34%),其次是癫痫发作(N=33, 20.50%)。在缺乏维生素B12的男孩和女孩中,最常见的表现是神经运动迟缓(N=55, 56.1%和N=18, 28.57%)。所有患者的平均维生素B12水平为167.70±45.17 (58-250)pg/ml。在维生素B12和铁蛋白水平或全血细胞计数参数[Hb, Htc和MCV]方面,男孩和女孩之间没有统计学上的显著差异(分别p = 0,428, p = 0,646, p = 0,110, p = 0,128, p = 0,864)。结论:本研究为卫生专业人员提供了一个关于我们遇到的与疾病相关的临床表现的一般评估
