- Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to determine the histochemical structure of the venom gland of Lurus kraepelini (von Ubisch, 1922) scorpions. Telsons belonging to 50 Lurus kraepelini collected from Aksu district of Isparta were used as material. The histological structure of the venom sac and the histochemical structure of the glycoproteins were determined using appropriate staining techniques. In the general histological structure of the venom gland, it was determined that the inner part of the venom sac consisted of connective tissue, and that venom secreting cells, support cells and mucus cells were found in this connective tissue. By histochemical staining methods, it was determined that the venom gland had sulphate and carboxylic acidic, sialic acid, neutral and acidic mucosubstances, and it was understood that the glycoproteins in each region of the venom gland had different characters. As a result, the chitin layer in the venom gland was neutral, sulfated and acidic; neutral of the muscle layer and venom secretion cells; It was determined that epithelial secretory cells contained acidic mucosubstance intensely. On the other hand, it was noted that it did not contain glycoproteins with strong sulfates, weak sulfates and sulfate esters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The preparation of the scorpion antivenom is a process that must be meticulously performed, such as obtaining specific antibodies from the serum of the injected animal after a suitable period of time after the relevant venom has been administered to a suitable animal, mostly horses. Many physiological and pathological symptoms occur in the treated animal, depending on the quality, quantity and application of the venom injected. Androctonus crassicauda venom is used in the production of national scorpion antivenom. A. crassicauda is a common species in Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia (Elazığ, Diyarbakır, Şanlıurfa, Mardin, Adana, Hatay, Malatya, Mersin) and Leiurus abdullahbayrami is a common species in Southeastern Anatolia (Gaziantep, Adıyaman, Kilis, Şanlıurfa, Mardin). The aim of this study is that the national scorpion antivenom obtained with A. crassicauda venom; to evaluate its effectiveness against L. abdullahbayrami. Methods: National scorpion antivenom obtained from horses immunized with A. crassicauda venom was used in the study. The venoms of A. crassicauda and L. abdullahbayrami scorpions was obtained by electrical stimulation. The venoms of both species were prepared at 1 mg/ml. Lethal dose 50 (LD50) values were determined in mice for venoms of both species. Two-fold dilutions of A. crassicauda scorpion antivenom were prepared and the neutralization unit (NU) was determined by calculating the effective dose 50 (ED50) values in mice against A. crassicauda and L. abdullahbayrami venoms. Potency value of A. crassicauda antivenom and crossprotection of antivenom against L. abdullahbayrami venom were calculated by neutralization test. Results: The LD50 of A. crassicauda venom was 5.761 µg/mouse and the LD50 of L. abdullahbayrami venom was 5.265 µg/mouse. ED50 was found 0.1767 in A. crassicauda and 0.25 in L. abdullahbayrami. Potency values against A. crassicauda antivenom were obtained as 90.5488 NU/ml and 64 NU/ml for A. crassicauda and L. abdullahbayrami, respectively. Conclusion: Our study showed that A. crassicauda antivenom can also be used safely in L. abdullahbayrami scorpion stings and our study is the first study showing that A. crassicauda antivenom can be used in the treatment of L. abdullahbayrami scorpion stings.

Akrepler, Arachnida sınıfında yer alan zehirli arthropodlardan olup, bilinen en eski karasal eklembacaklılardır ve yaşayan fosiller olarak da tanımlanmaktadırlar. Akrepler kendilerine özgü bir takım özelliklere, özel yapılara sahip olmaları ve zehirlenme vakalarına sebep olmaları nedeniyle çeşitli araştırmalara konu olmuştur. Ancak, akreplere özgü bir duyu organı olan ve tarak organı olarak da bilinen pektin organın yapısı hakkında çok fazla bilgi bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Protoiurus kraepelini (von Ubisch, 1922) akrebinin tarak organ yapısı ışık mikroskobu ve taramalı elektron mikroskop (SEM) kullanarak çalışılmış, detaylı morfolojik ve histolojik özellikleri belirlenmiştir. Örnekler Eğirdir (Isparta, Türkiye)’de yapılan arazi çalışmalarında toplanamıştır. P. kraepelini’nin tarak organı diğer akreplerde olduğu gibi bir çift olarak mesosomal ikinci segmentin ventrolateralinde yerleşmiş olup genel mimariye uygun olarak marjinal lamella, median lamella ve pektinal dişler olmak üzere üç kısımdan oluşmaktadır. Aynı zamanda bu yapılar üzerinde yer alan duyusal kılları, pektinal dişler üzerindeki peg sensillanın morfolojileri incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, ilk kez P. kraepelini’nin tarak organının histolojisi ortaya konulmuş ve yapı - fonksiyon arasındaki bağlantı uyarınca olası fonksiyonları tartışılmıştır.

Scorpions are arthropods covered with a thick layer of chitin, whose adult individuals have a length between 11.5 and 220 mm. Since they cause situations of poisoning and due to their predatory nature, humans usually fear them. In scorpion envenomation, it is necessary to apply anti-venom especially for patients with severe symptoms. Turkey is a suitable country for scorpion life in terms of climate. Today, it is reported in the world that there are 2512 species of scorpions in terms of 21 families and 195 genera. In addition, when the recent increase is taken into account, it is reported that the number of Scorpion species in Turkey has reached 50 and will continue to increase. Although the most venomous scorpion species known in Turkey is Leirus abdullahbayrami, scorpion anti-venom is obtained from Androctonus crassicauda. The studies show that the antivenom from A. crassicauda in Turkey which had been produced in a continuous manner since 1942 gave better results than other anti-venoms. A. crassicauda, which is shown as one of the five most poisonous scorpions in the world, is about 90 to 100 mm in length, has dark brown or black color, and has claws which are very chunky and a very curved tail. It is one of the most important species regarding medical terms in Turkey. A. crassicauda is mainly found in the regions of Southeastern Anatolia and in the areas of the cities of Iğdır and Kars which have low altitude levels, located in Eastern Anatolia in Turkey. It is stated that the responsible scorpion is the A. crassicauda with respect to the majority of patients who are admitted to the hospital with complaints of scorpion stings especially in the Southeastern Anatolia Region. Scorpion sting events, occurring mostly during the summer period still continues to be a major problem both in Turkey and the world's other countries. The scorpion anti-venom produced from A. crassicauda has taken its place as a national monograph of the Turkish Pharmacopoeia, which was prepared for the first time after many years. This review aims to provide detailed information on the history of anti-venom preparations in Turkey, starting from the foundation of the Turkish Republic up until the present day.

Androctonus crassicauda scorpion species lives in nature both as a prey and a predator. So it has venom that can be effective for hunting and protection. It can cause venoming and death by stinging people and animals. It is of great importance to know the ecological characteristics and density of this scorpion species, especially in regions where venoming cases are high. In the present study, Şanlıurfa province, where the scorpion species Androctonus crassicauda is prevalent, was chosen as the research area. 289 samples were collected after field studies in all districts of Şanlıurfa province. Owing to desolated and stony structure, Androctonus crassicauda was observed to be more intensive in Harran district. It was generally found from April to October. The most abundant period of the species is June, July, and August. Considering the seasonal expectation, test results of correlation for a series with non-normal distribution were listed in two options, Kendall'stau_b correlation coefficient and Spearman'srho correlation coefficient. There was a positive correlation of 0,168 (16%) at 1% significance between month and population for the former (Kendall'stau_b) coefficient. A positive correlation of 0,231 (23%) at 1% significance level between month and population for the latter (Spearman'srho) coefficient. In the view of regional expectation, results of correlation test for a non-normal distribution were presented in two options. A negative correlation of 0,099 (9%) was found at 5% significance level between region and population for the former coefficient. There was a negative correlation of 0,128 (12%) at 5% significance level between region and population for the second coefficient. The study revealed a variation between seasons and districts., Androctonus crassicauda akrep türü doğada hem av hem de yırtıcı olarak yaşar. Bu yüzden avlanma ve korunma için etkili olabilecek zehirlere sahiptir. İnsanları ve hayvanları sokarak zehirlenmeye ve ölüme neden olabilmektedir. Özellikle zehirlenme vakalarının yoğun olduğu bölgelerde bu akrep türünün ekolojik özelliklerinin ve yoğunluğunun bilinmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, araştırma alanı olarak Androctonus crassicauda akrep türünün yaygın olduğu Şanlıurfa ili seçilmiştir. Şanlıurfa ilinin tüm ilçelerinde yapılan saha çalışmaları sonucunda 289 örnek toplanmıştır. Harran ilçesinde ıssız ve taşlı yapısı nedeniyle Androctonus crassicauda'nın daha yoğun olduğu görülmüştür. Genellikle Nisan'dan Ekim'e kadar bulunmuştur. En yoğun olduğu dönem Haziran, Temmuz ve Ağustos aylarıdır. Mevsimsel beklenti gözetilerek ve normal dağılmayan bir seri için yapılan koralesyon testi sonuçları Kendall'stau_b korelasyon katsayısı ve Spearman'srho korelasyon katsayısı şeklinde iki opsiyon şeklinde listelenmiştir. İlk (Kendall'stau_b) katsayı için ay ile popülasyon arasında %1 anlamlılık seviyesine göre 0,168 (%16) pozitif bir korelasyon söz konusudur. İkinci (Spearman'srho) katsayı için ay ile popülasyon arasında %1 anlamlılık seviyesine göre 0,231 (%23) pozitif bir korelasyon olduğu görünmektedir. Bölgesel beklenti gözetilerek ve normal dağılmayan bir seri için yapılan korelasyon testi sonuçları iki opsiyon şeklinde listelenmiştir. Önceki katsayı için bölge ve popülasyon arasında %5 anlamlılık düzeyinde 0,099 (%9) negatif korelasyon bulunmuştur. İkinci katsayı için bölge ve popülasyon arasında %5 anlamlılık düzeyinde 0,128 (%12) negatif korelasyon bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma mevsimler ve ilçeler arasındaki değişiklikleri ortaya çıkarmaktadır.

An anomaly was recorded in the pecten shape of the scorpion species Mesobuthus turcicus Kovařík et al., 2022 that was recently described from Turkey. In this case, it is observed that marginal and median lamellae and fulcrae are fused in the right pecten. For this reason, the pecten is bent counter clockwise. Different from other pectinal anomalies, the size of teeth is developed normally but teeth number is fewer. This teratological anomaly on pecten is described and illustrated. This is the first report of pecten anomaly based on marginal and median lamellae. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Mesobuthus gibbosus (Brullé, 1832), known as Anatolian yellow scorpion belonging to the Buthidae family, has a wide distribution in our country and is therefore an important species in terms of public health. In this study, MTT test was performed to determine the cytotoxic effect of Mesobuthus gibbosus hemolymph on A549 lung cancer cell line and Beas-2B normal lung epithelial cell line. Ultrastructural changes were investigated morphologically by confocal microscope and transmission electron microscope. IC50 values were determined as 1.35% for A549 cells and 1.34% for Beas-2B cells as a result of 24 hours incubation with hemolymph A549 lung cancer and Beas-2B normal lung epithelial cell lines. In the study performed with confocal microscopy, rounding in the cells, membrane budding, chromatin condensation in the cell nucleus were displayed for both cells. The results obtained by electron microscopy showed distortion of the cell shape, shrinkage, deformations and lysosome formation, loss and swelling on cristae of mitochondria. With this study, dose depended antiproliferative and apoptotic effects of Mesobuthus gibbosus hemolymph in both cell lines are reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Incidents of scorpion stings are common in Turkey. These cases can cause severe envenomation and so represent an important public health problem. In Turkey, the most venomous species are Leiurus abdullahbayrami and Androctonus crassicauda. There has been no study on the effects of A. crassicauda stings on pregnant rats. Consequently, we investigated the effects of the scorpion venom on pregnant rats and their offspring. The supernatant of the A. crassicauda venom obtained after the venom extraction was dissolved in 7 mL of sterile saline before the experiment, in this way the injection volume was standardized as 1 mL/rat. Pregnant rats were randomly divided into two groups with six animals in each. A. crassicauda venom in 1 mL physiological saline solution (NaCl 0.9%) was subcutaneously injected in rats of the experimental group (EG), while sterile saline solution (1 mL) was subcutaneously administered to the rats of the control group (CG). All injections were applied to each group from the 7th to the 13th days of pregnancy, which correspond to the critical organogenesis period. Based on these results, it was shown that the scorpion venom affects the body weight of pregnant rats, the weights of placental tissues and fetuses in the rat model during pregnancy. A. crassicauda venom can induce abortion and cause restrictions in placenta and fetal growth. Therefore, medical professionals should be informed about possible adverse effects and risks in pregnancy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Akrepler, Arachnida sınıfında yer alan zehirli arthropodlardan olup, bilinen en eski karasal eklembacaklılardır ve yaşayan fosiller olarak da tanımlanmaktadırlar. Akrepler kendilerine özgü bir takım özelliklere, özel yapılara sahip olmaları ve zehirlenme vakalarına sebep olmaları nedeniyle çeşitli araştırmalara konu olmuştur. Ancak, akreplere özgü bir duyu organı olan ve tarak organı olarak da bilinen pektin organın yapısı hakkında çok fazla bilgi bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Protoiurus kraepelini (von Ubisch, 1922) akrebinin tarak organ yapısı ışık mikroskobu ve taramalı elektron mikroskop (SEM) kullanarak çalışılmış, detaylı morfolojik ve histolojik özellikleri belirlenmiştir. Örnekler Eğirdir (Isparta, Türkiye)’de yapılan arazi çalışmalarında toplanamıştır. P. kraepelini’nin tarak organı diğer akreplerde olduğu gibi bir çift olarak mesosomal ikinci segmentin ventrolateralinde yerleşmiş olup genel mimariye uygun olarak marjinal lamella, median lamella ve pektinal dişler olmak üzere üç kısımdan oluşmaktadır. Aynı zamanda bu yapılar üzerinde yer alan duyusal kılları, pektinal dişler üzerindeki peg sensillanın morfolojileri incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, ilk kez P. kraepelini’nin tarak organının histolojisi ortaya konulmuş ve yapı - fonksiyon arasındaki bağlantı uyarınca olası fonksiyonları tartışılmıştır. Scorpions are the oldest known terrestrial arthropods of the Arachnida class and are also known as living fossils. Scorpions have been subjected to various researches because they have special properties and unique structure, and they cause cases of poisoning. However, there is not much information about the structure of the pectine organ, a specific sense organ of the scorpion, which is also called sensory comb. In this study, the comb organ structure of Protoiurus kraepelini (von Ubisch, 1922) was studied by using light microscopy and scanning electron microscope (SEM) and detailed morphological and histological features were determined. Some of the comb organs of the P. kraepelini scorpions collected in the field studies from Eğirdir (Isparta, Turkey) were prepared for SEM by using routine methods. A portion of the comb organs were embedded in parafine and sections were taken and stained sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and histological features were examined in light microscope. The comb organ of P. kraepelini is located in the ventrolateral part of the mesosomal second segment as in other scorpions and consists of three parts as marginal lamella, median lamella and pectinal teeth in accordance with the general architecture. At the same time, sensory hairs on these structures and peg sensilla on pectinal teeth were examined. In this study, the histology of the comb organ of P. kraepelini was first time demonstrated and its possible functions were discussed in the relationship between structure and function.

Introduction: Scorpion stings represent an important health problem in many developing countries, particularly in the tropic and subtropic areas of the world. Materials and Methods: A retrospective examination of patient files and treatment charts was performed for a total of 424 cases presenting with scorpion stings to the pediatric emergency department between January 2010 and January 2015. Results: The mean age of the patients was 82.1 ± 19.5 months. There were 228 (%53,4) female and 196 (%46,6) male patients, with a median body weight of 19.3 ± 4.2 kg, and median height of 104 ± 8.2 cm. Three-hundred and six patients (72.1%) had stage 1, 83 (19.6%) had stage 2 and 35 (8.3%) had stage 3 disease. Of the scorpion stings 72 (16.98%), 254 (59.90%), and 96 (22.64%) occurred in spring, summer, or autumn, respectively. The distribution of the site of sting involved the extremities in 339 (79.95%), trunk in 96 (22.64%) and head and neck in 27 (6.36%). The most common signs involved those locally occurring at the site of the sting, with erythema and redness found in 368 cases (86.79%). Of the cardiovascular signs, tachycardia occurred in 274 cases (64.62%) and 12 had systolic dysfunction. While the great majority of the cases could be discharged uneventfully, 4 patients died due to cardiogenic shock and multiorgan failure. Conclusions: Scorpion stings remain a major health problem in our country, particularly in the South East Anatolia. The incidence of scorpion stings is highest during the summer season. The most common forms of involvement include respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological and gastrointestinal involvement, with rare occurrence of mortality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Scorpion envenomation still remains a major health problem in many tropical and subtropical countries. Antivenom is still widely administered in the treatment of envenomation. Scorpion venoms is used as source of antigen to the production of antivenom. Therefore, quality control and homogeneity of venom are a crucial point. In this study, adult Mesobuthus gibbosus and Mesobuthus eupeus scorpions were collected from Osmaniye and Nigde provinces in Turkey. After extraction, the venom composition was analyzed using one-dimensional gel electrophoresis (1-DE). Only one common protein (70 kDa) band was found in all venom samples. Three protein bands (70, 87 and 100 kDa) were also detected in the venom of female scorpions in Osmaniye and Nigde provinces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Calchas nordmanni yakın zamana kadar Artvin-Erzurum çevresinde endemik olduğu sanılan fakat son zamanlardaki çalışmalarla Türkiye’nin bir çok bölgesinde ve bazı Yunan adalarında bulunduğu ortaya çıkan Iuridae familyasına ait bir akrep türüdür. Günümüzde antibiyotiklere direnç kazanan bakterilerin neden olduğu enfeksiyonların önemli halk sağlığı problemlerinden birisi olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu çalışma; akrep venomunun antibakteriyal etkinliğinin belirlenmesi üzerine odaklanmıştır. Bu amaçla, seçilen klinik önemi olan bakterilere karşı ham venomun antibakteriyal etkinliği belirlenmiştir. Ardından; yüksek performans sıvı kromatografisinde fraksiyonlarınmıştır. Bu fraksiyonların Salmonella typhimirium, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis ve Micrococcus luteus bakterileri üzerinde agar difüzyon yöntemi kullanılarak antibakteriyal aktiviteleri araştırılmıştır. En geniş inhibisyon zonuna sahip olan Bacillus cereus’a ait çalışmalar bir adım daha ileri taşınmış ve yüksek performans sıvı kromatografisinde yeniden fraksiyonlanarak etkin peptid/peptidler bulunmaya çalışılmıştır. Aktivitesi belirlenen pikler arasında en geniş inhibisyon zonuna sahip olan 21.3 dakika alıkonma süreli fraksiyon olmuştur. Bu fraksiyon Trici-Tricine jel elektroforezinde yürütülmüş ve molekül ağırlığının 3,4 kDa ile 6,2 kDa arasında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma, Calchas nordmanni venomunun elektroforetik profilini ve seçilen bakterilere karşı antibakteriyal etkili bileşenlerin varlığını ilk kez bildirmektedir. Elde edilen sonuçların yeni antibiyotiklerin tasarımında yardımcı olması beklenmektedir. Calchas nordmanni that was thought to be endemic to Artvin-Erzurum region till recent studies claimed that it also exists in lots of regions in Turkey and some Greek Islands, is a species of scorpion from Iuridae family. Nowadays, it is known that infections, which are caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria, are one of the serious public health problems. Because the new antibacterial molecules to control these bacteria are required all over the world, this study is focused to define the antibacterial activity of scorpion’s venom. For this purpose, crude venom’s antibacterial activity against clinically impostatnt bacteria was determined. Then they were separated to one minute fractions by high performance liquid chromatography. The antibacterial activities of these fractions on Salmonella typhimirium, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus bacteria were determined by using agar diffusion method. The studies on Bacillus cereus, that has the widest inhibition zone, were researched one step more and they were studied to find the active peptides peak by peak fractionation on high performance liquid chromatography. The fraction which has 21.3 minutes retention time, was the peak, that has the widest inhibition zone, between the peaks which activities have been determined. This fraction was analyzed by Trici-Tricine gel electrophoresis and its molecular weights determined between 3.4 and 6.2 kDa. This study declares the electrophoretic profile of Calchas nordmanni's venom and the presence of antibacterial active components against to chosen bacterias, to the world literatures for the first time.
