To investigate the association between paraoxonase 1 (PON1) c.163T>A and c.575A>G polymorphisms coronary artery disease (CAD), whether specific in PON1 gene are associated with CAD southeastern Turkish population. Many different genetic clinical factors have been identified as causes or contributors to atherosclerosis. Complex diseases such CAD, hypertension, diabetes usually caused by an individual’s susceptibility various genes, environmental factors, interactions them. The enzyme has...

Medical improvements are needed to prevent ischemia-reperfusion injury in thoracoabdominal aortic surgery. The aim of this study was determine the antioxidant effects thymoquinone, silymarin, and curcumin against associated with abdominal aorta.Twenty-five Wistar albino rats were included study. Sham, control, treatment (thymoquinone, curcumin) groups set equal numbers. Ischemia-reperfusion applied by clamping (120 minutes) de-clamping (60 infrarenal aorta all groups, except sham group....

Behçet's syndrome is a multisystemic disease characterized by relapsing uveitis, oral and genital ulcerations, vascular system involvement. The involvement seen as venous occlusion, arterial aneurysm formation in this disease, the surgical treatment of has technical difficulties. In report, we suggest that huge popliteal artery can be treated ligation artery. A 58-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic because an infrapopliteal great mass at left leg. Color Doppler ultrasonography...

Introduction Cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP) is the most widely used method in cardiac surgery. During CPB procedure, studies are conducted to maintain myocardial perfusion adequacy, reduce oxidative stress caused by immune reactions, and understand longevity of procedure. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have come fore changes CPB. In vivo shown that many different miRNAs regulate critical signaling molecules including cytokines, growth factors, transcription proapoptotic, antiapoptotic proteins....

Abstract Objective: To evaluate preoperative and postoperative body fluid distribution with a bioelectrical impedance analyzer in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods: Fifteen adult bypass were included this study. Total changes, basal metabolism rates, fat masses, lean total cell masses recorded. The patients’ values measured before anesthesia, after sternotomy, at the 5th, 30th, 60th minutes of bypass, on 1st, 3rd, 5th days. All compared values. Results: changed...

We report a case of 76-year-old man who was admitted at our institution for unstable angina.Cardiac catheterization revealed multiple idiopathic spontaneous coronary artery dissection with ectasia both right and left (Figs. 1 and2).The patient well over six months follow-up.

Aim: Pericardial fluid composition changes in coronary artery disease.This study aims to investigate interleukin 33 (IL 33), total antioxidant status (TAS), oxidative stress (TOS), and index (OSI) levels the pericardial blood plasma of patients who have undergone bypass surgery contribute understanding pathophysiology disease.Material Methods: In study, IL 33, TAS, TOS, OSI were determined 40 had surgery, relationship between these parameters was investigated.Results: level (51.44 pq/mL)...

Background: Serum prolidase levels change decisively in coronary artery disease and valvular disease. The aims of this study are to determine how the serum level will vary patients who have undergone bypass surgery due mitral insufficiency those without ischemic regurgitation with regurgitation. Methods: A total 45 were operated selected. Group 1 defined as had did not (25 patients), 2 (20 patients). Before after surgery, blood was taken from their measured. Results: In patients, pre-...

Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms are extremely rare aneurysms. Treatment options conventional open surgery, endovascular and conservative treatment. Surgical treatment of such is challenging it important to determine the strategies wisely. There still no definite association for modalities. In this case report, we present surgical a 58-year-old female patient with internal aneurysm. The was admitted our clinic spontaneous pulsatile mass in right jugular region. Computed tomography...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) gene variants and their possible association with coronary artery disease (CAD) in Şanlıurfa province. Materials methods: We used polymerase chain reaction restriction enzyme digestion determine ESR1 (NM_001122742.1, GI: 2099): c.454-351 A>G (XbaI A>G) c.454-397 T>C (PvuII T>C) polymorphisms 100 healthy individuals 80 angiographically confirmed CAD patients. Results: body mass index (28.1 ± 5.4),...

Halting ventilation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is implemented to operate in a less bleeding setting. It sustains better visualization of the operation area and helps perform much more comfortably. On other hand, it may lead series postoperative lung complications such as atelectasis pleural effusion. In this study, we investigated effects low tidal volume on inflammatory cytokines CPB.Twenty-eight patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery were included study. Operation standards...

cyst of the pericardium is very rare (Figs.1a, b and2a, b).We report a case 62-year-old man who was diagnosed with intrapericardial hydatidosis.The patient received albendazole to avoid recurrence.
