Biocompatibility evaluation of cigarette and carbon papers used in repair of traumatic tympanic membrane perforations: experimental study
(SPRINGER, 2013)
The purposes of this study were to investigate the biocompatibility of two different paper patches (carbon and cigarette papers) and compare the adhesion and proliferation features of L929 fibroblast cells by using ...
Does hydatid disease have protective effects against lung cancer?
(SPRINGER, 2013)
We hypothesized that solid tumors rarely occur in patients with hydatid disease. We obtained the serum of 14 patients diagnosed with hydatid disease, the serum of 10 patients who did not have a history of hydatid disease, ...
Vitamin E and antioxidant activity; its role in slow coronary flow
(CLINICS CARDIVE PUBL PTY LTD, 2013)
Aim: Oxidative stress, which is widely recognised as an important feature of many diseases, can be defined as an increased formation of reactive oxygen species or decreased antioxidant defense. In this study we measured ...
Separation of lysozyme with magnetically stabilized spherical hydroxyapatite microcomposites in a continuous flow system
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2013)
The aim of this study was to produce a spherical and magnetic hydroxyapatite (HA) microcomposite to use as an adsorbent for the separation of lysozyme in a magnetically stabilized fluidized bed and to separate lysozyme ...
Reliability analysis of a rubble mound breakwater using the theory of fuzzy random variables
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2013)
This study investigates the possibility of applying the theory of fuzzy random variables through the fuzzy Monte Carlo simulation approach for the reliability-based risk analysis of a rubble-mound breakwater. The results ...
The effect of 3-methylcholanthrene and butylated hydroxytoluene on glycogen levels of liver, muscle, testis, and tumor tissues of rats
(TUBITAK SCIENTIFIC & TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL TURKEY, 2013)
This study examined the effects of separate and combined applications of 3-methylcholanthrene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and potent carcinogenic agent, and butylated hydroxytoluene, the antioxidant food additive, ...
Removal of radioactive elements from aqueous solutions by adsorption onto polyacrylamide-expanded perlite: Equilibrium, kinetic, and thermodynamic study
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2013)
In this research, a novel composite, poly(aaylamide-expanded perlite) [P(AAm-EP)], was synthesized and its adsorptive features were investigated for UO22+ and Th4+ ions. The composite's adsorptive features were evaluated ...
Evaluation of geo-mechanical properties of very weak and weak rock materials by using non-destructive techniques: Ultrasonic pulse velocity measurements and reflectance spectroscopy
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2013)
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the geo-mechanical properties of very weak and weak rock materials by using ultrasonic pulse velocity measurements and considering specifically detailed mineralogical compositions. ...
Sheehan's syndrome
(INFORMA HEALTHCARE, 2013)
Sheehan's syndrome (SS) is characterized by various degrees of hypopituitarism, and develops as a result of ischemic pituitary necrosis due to severe postpartum hemorrhage. Increased pituitary volume, small sella size, ...
High Risk of Malignant Mesothelioma and Pleural Plaques in Subjects Born Close to Ophiolites
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2013)
Background: Ophiolites, a special sequence of geologic rock units, are known sources of naturally occurring asbestos. The aim of this study was to test whether the occurrence of malignant mesothelioma (MM) or pleural plaques ...
