Combined Effect of Factor V Leiden, MTHFR, and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (Insertion/Deletion) Gene Mutations in Hypertensive Adult Individuals: A Population-Based Study from Sivas and Canakkale, Turkey
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2011)Background: Hypertension is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in the world, which is influenced by environmental and genetic factors. The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and angiotensin-converting ... -
Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus in Ticks Collected from Humans, Livestock, and Picnic Sites in the Hyperendemic Region of Turkey
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2011)During June and July 2007, about 3125 adult ticks were collected from humans, animals, and vegetation in a hyperendemic region (Sivas and Tokat) of Turkey. A total of 2193 ticks were pooled in 225 pools and screened for ... -
Determination of In Vitro Antioxidative and Antimicrobial Properties and Total Phenolic Contents of Ziziphora clinopodioides, Cyclotrichium niveum, and Mentha longifolia ssp typhoides var. typhoides
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2009)The aerial parts of Ziziphora clinopodioides, Cyclotrichium niveum, and Mentha longifolia ssp. typhoides var. typhoides were screened for their possible antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in addition to their penolic ... -
Effect of Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Clearfil Protect Bond, and KTP Laser on Microleakage Under Metal Orthodontic Brackets with Thermocycling
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2010)Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of antimicrobial pretreatments [chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), Clearfil Protect Bond (CPB), and potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser] on microleakage under ... -
The effects of magnetic field on the biomechanics parameters of soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2008)Background: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the magnetic field (MF) on the isometric contractile characteristics of the soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles in rats both with and without ... -
Evaluation of the cell death pathway and apoptosis-stunning effect relationship after low- and high-dose I-131 administrations in rat thyroid tissue
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2006)Objectives: This study had two aims; (1) to describe the cell death pathway (apoptosis or necrosis) induced by a low and high dose of radioiodine (I-131) in rat thyroid tissue in in vivo conditions and (2) to determine the ... -
In Vitro Amoebicidal Activity of a Ceragenin, Cationic Steroid Antibiotic-13, Against Acanthamoeba castellanii and Its Cytotoxic Potential
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2011)Acanthamoeba is a free-living amoeba causing a potentially blinding infection of the cornea. Acanthamoeba keratitis is difficult to treat, without total efficacy in some patients because of cysts that are less susceptible ... -
In vitro amoebicidal activity of propolis on Acanthamoeba castellanii
(MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2007)Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro effects of an ethanolic extract of propolis on the growth and adherence of Acanthamoeba castellanii trophozoites and cysts. Methods: The effect of propolis ... -
