Determination of Paraoxonase 1 Activity and Phenotype Distribution in Cervical Disk Herniation Patients Abstract Objectives: Cervical disk herniation (CDH) is a common disease that usually develops as a result of intervertebral disk degeneration (IVDD) or trauma, which can cause pain or neurological deficiency by nevre root or spinal cord compression. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) has antioxidant qualities, and its function may vary based on genetic variations and ethnic background. This study aims to compare PON1 activity and phenotype distribution in CDH patients and individuals without the condition. Materials and Methods: This study involved 70 CDH patients and 70 individuals in good health. Spectrophotometric tests were conducted to measure the serum PON1 and arylesterase (ARE) activities. The PON1 ratio, which indicates the salt-stimulated PON/ARE level, showed a three-peak distribution. This ratio was utilized to determine the various phenotypes; QQ, QR, and RR for each participant. Results: The PON1 activity was lower in CDH patients compared to the healthy individuals (p < 0.05). CDH patients exhibited a statistically significant QQ phenotype in comparison to the healthy participants (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Patients with CDH exhibited significantly reduced PON1 activity, indicating that low PON1 activity and the PON1 QQ phenotype could potentially be a risk factor for the development of CDH. Keywords: Cervical disk herniation, Paraoxonase, Phenotype, PON1

Objective: The Marx Activity Rating Scale (MARS) is a recently developed in English to assess patients’ who have knee problems activity level. However, there is no Turkish validation for it. Materials and Methods: MARS was translated into Turkish language according to the recommended stages by Beaton et al. 100 Patients (mean age, 30.90 ± 10.46) with various types of the knee problems were included. Each participant completed the MARS twice at fourteen day intervals to determine the test-retest reliability using the interrater correlation coefficient and Cronbach's alpha evaluating internal-consistency. Spearman's correlation coefficient was done to measure construct validity between the MARS, the EUROQoL (EQ-5D), the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Scale. Results: A total of 100 patients (37 females, 63 males) completed the Turkish-language MARS. The reliability of the test-retest was 0.905, with Cronbach's alpha of 0.828 at the initial and 0.782 for the retest. High correlations were found between the IKDC and MARS (r =0.253). MARS also strongly correlated with the EQ5D-VAS component score (r =0.265). Floor or ceiling effects were not found for the overall MARS score. Conclusion: MARS is a valid, reliable and might be preferred for patients with numerous knee problems. Keywords: Validity, Reliability, Knee, Activity.

Köpek Ostesarkomunda BMP-2,- 4, -7, TGF-Β1 ve Gremlin1’in İmmunohistokimyasal Karakterizasyonu Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, köpeklerde doğal yollarla oluşan osteosarkomun (OS) farklı alt tiplerinde BMP-2, -4, -7, TGF-β1 ve Gremlin1 ekspresyonlarının immünohistokimyasal yöntemle değerlendirilmesi ve tümör mikroçevresinin daha iyi anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Doğal yollarla meydana gelen 16 köpek OS’u formalinde fikse edildi ve parafine gömüldü. Tümörler, WHO’nun modifiye uluslararası histolojik pet tümörleri sınıflandırmasına göre sınıflandırıldı. Kontrol için beş sağlıklı köpekten alınan kompakt kemik dokusu kullanıldı. Bulgular: İmmünohistokimyasal olarak, kontrol dokusunda BMP-2,-4, -7, TGF-β1 ve Gremlin1 ekspresyonu gözlenmedi. Tüm OS alt tiplerinde andiferensiye mezenşimal hücrelerde ve ekstraselüler matrikste BMP-2, -4, -7, TGF-β1 ve Gremlin1 ekspresyonu gözlendi. Bununla birlikte, tümör dokusunun farklı bileşenlerinde bu faktörlerin ekspresyonlarında farklılıklar olduğu görüldü. BMP-2, -4, -7, TGF-β1 ve Gremlin1'in bazı yolaklarda antagonistik etkileri olmasına rağmen, farklı OS alt tiplerinde bazı bölgelerde eş zamanlı olarak birlikte eksprese edildiği belirlendi. Sonuç: BMP-2, -4, -7, TGF-β1 ve Gremlin1'in tümör dokularının aynı veya farklı bileşenlerinde birlikte ifade edilebileceği ve her birinin birlikte veya bağımsız rolleriyle tümör hücrelerinin davranışını etkileyebileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Aim: This study aims to retrospectively evaluate the fundamental motor competence of early adolescents and to examine the affecting factors. Methods: 89 children aged 11.33±0.95 were included in the study. Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test (MMDT) for manual dexterity, 9-Hole Peg Test (9-HPT) for finger dexterity, Korebalance™ Premiere for balance, manual muscle strength measurement device for quadriceps muscle strength, hand dynamometer for hand grip strength, EMG Biofeedback for muscle activation was used. Results: Compared by gender, there was a statistically significant difference in the right and left-hand placing of MMDT and 9-HPT (p=0.004, p=0.041, p=0.004, respectively). Comparison’s of age groups, there was a statistically significant difference in the left-hand placing and turning subtests of MMDT and left grip strength (p=0.010, p=0.048, p=0.025, respectively). In a correlation analyses, age had a correlation with the left-hand placing of MMDT (r=-0.336,p=0.001); and left grip strength (r=0.219,p=0.039). Height and weight had a correlation with dynamic balance (r=-0.242,p=0.022; r=-0.244,p=0.021). Weight and BMI had a correlation with static balance (r=0.342,p=0.001; r=0.305,p=0.004) and EMG Biofeedback score (r=0.237,p=0.025; r=0.212,p=0.046). Conclusion: Manual dexterity and hand grip strength develop with age in children, and girls' manual and finger dexterities are better than boys. While the increase in BMI and weight affect static balance negatively, the increase in height and weight affect dynamic balance positively. It is thought that investigating the factors affecting motor competence will be important in evaluating the development of children and directing them to appropriate sports.

Objective: The subject of our study is to determine the efficacy and safety of non-chemical compounds thyme, eucalyptus, and oxalic acid against Varroa destructor ectoparasite, which is widely observed in honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies both in our country and in the world. Materials and Methods: The study was designed of five groups and these groups were designed as group 1 (oxalic acid), group 2 (thymol), group 3 (eucalyptus), group 4 (positive control), group 5 (negative control). Seven honey bee colonies were included in each group. The first, second, and third groups were designed to form the treatment groups, and the last two groups to form the positive and negative control groups. Each group consisted of 7 hives. In the treatment groups, oxalic acid was dissolved in glycerin, thyme and eucalyptus were dissolved in ethyl alcohol, and they were absorbed into special towels. Two pieces per beehive were placed on the frames in the beehives. The treatments were applied weekly for 3 wk during the September. Treatment efficiencies were calculated with the Henderson-Tilton formula and the statistical difference between the oxalic acid, thyme, and eucalyptus treatment groups was determined by the General Linear Model procedure. Results: Treatment efficiencies were determined as 91.74%, 82.25%, and 79.2% in oxalic acid, thyme, and eucalyptus treatment groups, respectively. Conclusion: The findings revealed that completely natural herbal extracts and organic acids can be used instead of chemical drugs against Varroosis. Toxication and unnatural deaths were not observed in honey bees throughout the trials. Keywords: Varroosis, Oxalic acid, Thyme, Eucalyptus.

Objective: Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the Nurses’ Effect of Emotional Labor Levels on their Attitudes of Elderly Care. Material and Methods: The research was planned in descriptive type. The population of the research was composed of 309 nurses, 204 female (66.0%) and 105 male (34.0%) who work in a training and research hospital of Turkey. The data of the research was collected by utilizing Socio-Demographic Form, Emotional Labor Behaviors Scale for Nurses (ELS) and Kogan Aged Attitudes Scale (ATE). Results: In this study, the mean scores of ELS (97.20± 12.48) and ATE are 3.77± 0.62 and 97.20± 12.48, respectively. In the correlation analysis between total scores of ELS and ATE, a statistically significant positive relation was found (r=0.320, p>0.001). It was established that Attitudes towards the ATE has a positive effect on ELS. The effect of the characteristics depending on the qualitative data on the ATE was determined, and R=.405 was found as R2=.164, and it was found out that ELS has a positive effect on ATE. Conclusion: In the study, it was determined that socio-demographic factors and emotional labor behavior levels of nurses affected their attitudes of elderly care by 16.4%.
