OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare 2 methods of ulnar variance (UV) measurement (the perpendicular method and the circular method) and to determine whether UV changed based on the demographic characteristics (sex and age). METHODS: UV was measured on bilateral wrist radiographs of 124 patients (62 men, 62 women; mean age=48.5 years; range=18–79 years) who had no history of trauma, congenital wrist anomaly, previous wrist surgery, and wrist osteoarthritis by a single radiologist with 4 years of experience. All measurements were made on standardized radiographic images using 2 methods: the perpendicular method and the circular method. All the patients were then divided into groups based on sex and age, and the study population was determined by selecting a similar number of patients for each sex and age group. RESULTS: The mean UV of the right and left wrists was measured as 0.33 (range=−4.3 to 5.7) mm by the perpendicular method and as 0.034 (range=−5 to 5.7) mm by the circular method. A significant difference was determined between the 2 measurement methods (p

During neck surgery; Zuckerkandl’s tubercle, Berry’s ligament, the inferior horn of thyroid cartilages have become crucial anatomical landmarks in order to protect the integrity of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Forty-two male postmortem human cadavers were used. The proximal part of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, before the inferior thyroid artery arises from its source has been observed in 87% inside the tracheoesophageal groove and in 13% running laterally to the trachea. The recurrent laryngeal nerve was encountered passing behind and through the branches of the inferior thyroid artery in 92% and 8% respectively. At all sides; the nerve was piercing the larynx 0.6 ± 0.1 mm below the inferior horn of thyroid cartilage, passing next to the inner-lower side of Berry’s ligament and running under the lower middle part of Zuckerkandl’s tubercle. These landmarks and their upper mentioned distances to the laryngeal nerve can be taken into consideration as important surgical guides.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the morphology and location of mandibular lingula in relation to the surrounding structures in adult mandibles to provide data that can be used during oral and maxillofacial procedures. Methods: This study was performed on 50 dry adult mandibles of Turkish population. The shape of the lingula was examined bilaterally and classified into four types. Osteometric measurements were performed on both sides using a digital caliper. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the differences between right and left side measurements. Results: The most frequently encountered shape of lingula was triangular type (42%). The assimilated type was not observed among the mandibles studied. The mean distance between the lingula and the anterior border of the ramus of the mandible and between the lingula and the posterior border of the ramus of the mandible was measured as 16.86±2.73 mm and 14.7±1.6 mm, respectively. The mean height of the lingula was measured as 11.92±2.03 mm. No statistically significant differences were observed between the right and left side measurements for any parameters. Conclusion: The findings of present study may be used for various oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures and help surgeons in avoiding inferior alveolar nerve injury during mandibular osteotomies.

To investigate the possible therapeutic or protective effects of green tea in diabetic rat's testicular tissue, either as a single agent, or together with vitamin E.The present study was carried out at the Faculty of Medicine, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey from May to August 2011 for 10 weeks. Forty-eight adult male Wistar albino rats, weighting 250-300 g, were divided into 8 groups: control; nondiabetic vitamin E (0.4 mg/kg/NG); nondiabetic green tea (300 mg/kg/NG); nondiabetic vitamin E plus green tea administered groups; diabetic group (60 mg/kg/IV streptozotocin); diabetic vitamin E; diabetic green tea; and diabetic vitamin E plus green tea administered groups. Proliferative and apoptotic indexes were determined using anti-PCNA antibody immunohistochemistry and TUNEL assays respectively. Tubule degeneration was evaluated using the Johnson's score and also seminiferous tubules diameters, epithelial thickness were measured.Histopathological examination in diabetic group revealed degenerative changes in the seminiferous tubules together with a statistically significant decrease in PCNA positive cells, in epithelial thickness, diameter of the tubules and in Johnson's score, while exhibited an increase in the number of apoptotic cells. When all these findings are considered together, the most successful protective effects in diabetes were obtained in the combined antioxidant group.Combined therapy of vitamin E and green tea in diabetes was more effective than monotherapy. Therefore, these antioxidants may be use as a supporting therapy for reproductive dysfunction.

To investigate dose-dependent ultrastructural changes in rat cornea after oral methylphenidate Ritalin administration.This study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey between March and May 2005, with a total of 27 female prepubertal Wistar albino rats, divided into 3 different dose groups 5mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg, and their control groups. They were treated orally with methylphenidate, and eye tissue was removed to process for electron microscopic studies.We observed that all cells, and prominently basal cells of the corneal epithelium show dose-dependent degenerative changes such as apoptotic bodies, chromatin condensation, and ondulation in their nuclei and crystolysis of the mitochondrion. In the stroma, the most evident finding was the increase of the collagen fiber. In addition to dose-dependent changes related to the apoptotic process, which is chromatin condensation in their nuclei, electron dense material accumulation, and pericellular edema in the cytoplasm were also seen. In the endothelial cell lines, disruption of the junctional complexes, vacuolization in the cell cytoplasms, and crystolysis of the mitochondrion's with rough endoplasmic reticulum cisternae activity were observed.Ritalin is inducing an evident degeneration, especially in epithelium cells with increasing doses. Ultrastructural cell organelle composition degeneration with stromal fibrosis has a negative effect on cornea dehydration. In light of these findings, we believe that the Ritalin treatment doses need to be kept to a minimum to maintain healthy cornea ultrastructure and related physiology.
