    Güler, Halil İbrahim; Ay Şal, Fulya; Can, Zehra; Kara, Yakup; Yildiz, Oktay; Beldüz, Ali Osman; Çanakçi, Sabriye; Kolayli, Sevgi

    Propolis is a multi-functional bee product rich in polyphenols. In this study, the inhibitory effect of Anatolian propolis against SARS-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) was investigated in vitro and in silico. Raw and commercial propolis samples were used, and both samples were found to be rich in caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, t-cinnamic acid, hesperetin, chrysin, pinocembrin, and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) at HPLC-UV analysis. Ethanolic propolis extracts (EPE) were used in the ELISA screening test against the spike S1 protein (SARS-CoV-2): ACE-2 interaction for in vitro study. The binding energy values of these polyphenols to the SARS-CoV-2 spike and ACE-2 protein were calculated separately with a molecular docking study using the AutoDock 4.2.6 program. In addition, the pharmacokinetics and drug-likeness properties of these eight polyphenols were calculated according to the SwissADME tool. The binding energy value of pinocembrin was highest in both receptors, followed by chrysin, CAPE, and hesperetin. Based on the in silico modeling and ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) behaviors of the eight polyphenols, the compounds exhibited the potential ability to act effectively as novel drugs. The findings of both studies showed that propolis has a high inhibitory potential against the Covid-19 virus. However, further studies are now needed.

    Saatchian, Vahid; Türkmen, Mutlu; Esfahani, Mahdi; Zadeh, Reza Amin; Talib, Ahmed Mushtaq; Azimkhani, Amin

    Whole Body Electrical Stimulation (WB-EMS) is a relatively new training method that has been used extensively in recent years, however, the lack of consensus on the efficacy of Whole Body Electrical Stimulation exists, and the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of this method on postural structure problems and musculoskeletal pain. Summary of articles by ISC, Google Scholar, American Journal of Sports Medicine, PubMed Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, Cochrane, and Sports Medicine Journals between 2000 and 2019 were studied to identify all studies that report electrical stimulation applied simultaneously to the upper and lower limbs. Keywords: Electrical stimulation, Electrical muscle stimulation, Functional electrical stimulation, Whole body electrical stimulation, Wearable sensors, Electrotherapy, Electrode vest, Electrode vest for treatment and rehabilitation, E-fit, Electronic muscle stimulation, Whole body electronic muscle stimulation, Electronic Stimulation, Electronic Suit, Wearable Sensor, and Electrotherapy were used to obtain relevant articles and finally, 22 articles were compared according to the set criteria of 107 papers. Based on the results of studies on the effects of Whole Body Electrical Stimulation, this tool is based on parameters such as muscle strength, muscle size, body composition, obesity, sarcopenia, sarcopenia- induced obesity and pain reduction in non-specific chronic low back pain patients, have a significant positive effect. Due to the lack of studies on the effects of Whole Body Electrical Stimulation and the inconsistency between studies and the lack of similar consensus, further research is needed.

    Assessment of powder flow, functional and microbiological characteristics of ozone-treated skim milk powder

    Sert, Durmuş; Mercan, Emin

    The influence of ozone treatment (OT) of skim milk powder (SMP) on functional, physicochemical characteristics, powder flow behaviours and microbiological quality was evaluated. SMP was ozone-treated for 0 (control), 30, 60, 90 or 120 min. Particle size parameters of samples were not affected by OT. OT increased dispersibility and foaming capacity, but decreased wettability time. The cohesion index of samples ranged from 11.98 to 18.34, with higher treatment times decreasing it. OT significantly decreased the tendency for caking and cohesion, as well as compaction characteristics, and increased the flow stability of ozone-treated samples compared with control. OT could be effective for improving SMP flow behaviours in terms of caking, cohesion, and compaction. OT for 120 min decreased the count of all analysed microorganisms to under the detection limit. Inactivation of microorganisms and improving functional and powder flow characteristics by OT may have applications in dairy powder processing and food safety.

    Acet, Tuba; Özcan, Kadriye; Sefalı, Abdurrahman

    Psephellus appendicigerus, is a plant endemic to Turkey, belonging to the Asteraceae family, which is traditionally used in folk medicine in Turkey. The aim of this study is to reveal for the first time the biological activities of this plant and evaluate its potential use as a natural product. For this reason, different extracts (ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane) of the plant’s aerial parts were used in determining the antioxidant (2,20-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl assays), antimicrobial (disc diffusion and microdilution methods), and enzyme inhibition activity (calorimetric methods) related to diabetes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase). Moreover, the phenolic constituents were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography. Methanol extract of the plant exhibited significant biological activity compared to other extracts. This extract had the highest amount of chlorogenic acid as phenolic compound. In addition, all extracts showed inhibition against at least one test microorganism. According to the results, P. appendicigerus has the potential to be used as a natural antioxidant, antimicrobial and enzyme inhibitor.

    Students’ Well-Being and Academic Achievement: A Meta-Analysis Study

    Kaya, Metin; Erdem, Cahit

    A considerable amount of literature has been published on students’ well-being, but empirical research has yielded ambiguous results regarding the relationship between well-being and academic achievement. Meta-analysis studies on this issue are scarce, and the available studies focus on a single domain of well-being. Meta-analyses investigating students’ general well-being and academic achievement are needed. To this end, we carried out a meta-analysis study on the association between students’ general well-being and academic achievement based on data from correlational studies involving 54,426 participants in 81 independent samples. We report a significant and positive but small effect size based on this dataset. The effect sizes differ significantly in terms of the moderator variables of publication year, age, school level, and publication type, while the correlation is robust across well-being domains, academic areas, scale types, and development levels of countries. Results are discussed and implications are suggested in line with the literature.

    Synthesis and characterization of cellobiose-derived oligosaccharides with Bifidogenic activity by glucansucrase E81

    İspirli, Hümeyra; Bowman, Michael J.; Skory, Christopher D.; Dertli, Enes

    Cellobiose-derived oligosaccharides were produced from acceptor reactions with glucansucrase E81 and their prebiotic potentials were determined in this study. The major product was a mixture of trisaccharides formed by the addition of an α-linked glucose to cellobiose at either the 2-O position of the reducing end (86%) glucose or the 6-O position of the non-reducing end glucose (11%) demonstrated by NMR spectroscopy and LC-MS-LTQ analysis. The purified DP 3 cellobiose-derived oligosaccharides were then tested for in vitro human gastric juice and α-amylase digestion and no digestion was observed during the 6 h digestion period. Importantly, DP 3 cellobiose-derived oligosaccharides promoted the growth of Bifidobacteria at high levels demonstrating a Bifidogenic effect and a mild level of proliferation was observed for Lactobacilli suggesting the prebiotic roles of cellobiose-derived oligosaccharides.

    Differential effects of inhibitors of PTZ-induced kindling on glutamate transporters and enzyme expression

    Taspinar, Numan; Hacimuftuoglu, Ahmet; Butuner, Selcuk; Togar, Basak; Arslan, Gokhan; Taghizadehghalehjoughi, Ali; Okkay, Ufuk; Agar, Erdal; Stephens, Robert, Jr.; Turkez, Hasan

    Epilepsy is a neurological disorder resulting from abnormal neuronal firing in the brain. Glutamate transporters and the glutamate-glutamine cycle play crucial roles in the development of seizures. In the present study, the correlation of epilepsy with glutamate transporters and enzymes was investigated. Herein, male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into four groups (six animals/group); 35 mg/kg pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) was used to induce a kindling model of epilepsy. Once the kindling model was established, animals were treated for 15 days with either valproic acid (VPA, 350 mg/kg) or ceftriaxone (CEF, 200 mg/kg) in addition to the control group receiving saline. After treatment, electrocorticography (ECoG) was performed to record the electrical activity of the cerebral cortex. The glutamate reuptake time (T-80) was also determined in situ using an in vivo voltammetry. The expression levels of glutamate transporters and enzymes in the M1 and CA3 areas of the brain were determined using a real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). ECoG measurements showed that the mean spike number of the PTZ + VPA and PTZ + CEF groups was significantly lower (p < 0.05) than that of the PTZ group. Compared with the PTZ group, VPA or CEF treatment decreased the glutamate reuptake time (T-80). The expression levels of EAAC1, GLT-1, GLAST, glutamine synthetase (GS), and glutaminase were increased in the PTZ group. Treatment with VPA or CEF enhanced the expression levels of GLT-1, GLAST, EAAC1, and GS, whereas the glutaminase expression level was reduced. The current results suggest that VPA or CEF decreases seizure activity by increasing glutamate reuptake by upregulating GLT-1 and GLAST expression, implying a possible mechanism for treating epilepsy. Also, we have suggested a novel mechanism for the antiepileptic activity of VPA via decreasing glutaminase expression levels. To our knowledge, this is the first study to measure the glutamate reuptake time in situ during the seizure (i.e., real-time measurement).

    Correlation of IGF-I and IGFBP5 Gene Expression in Schizophrenia Patients

    Ozcan, Halil; Karabulut, Sevgi; Yeloğlu, Çağdaş Hünkar

    Objective: Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder affecting more than 21 million people worldwide. Disruptions of the GH-IGF-I axis likely lead to schizophrenia by causing deficits in early stages of neurodevelopment and low IGF-I levels are related to pre/postnatal growth and schizophrenia. IGF axis has effective role on healthy cell growth both prenatal and postnatal. IGF-I function effecting cancer cells is regulated by IGFBP-5. Several studies showed that IGF-I expression is low in schizophrenia patients. Aim of this study is to investigate relation of IGF-I and IGFBP-5 mRNA expression levels in Schizophrenia. Materials and Methods: Fırstly, we collected the serum samples from patients who are diagnosed with schizophrenia and healthy control group. Then RNA was isolated from these serum samples. RNA expression was investigated by real time PCR. Results were evaluated using delta delta Ct. In this study IGF-I and IGFBP5 gene expression levels were calculated. For this purpose a portion of serum taken for routine tests was used. Results: Results of this study showed that there is no significant difference of IGF-I and IGFBP5 gene expression levels between patients and healthy subjects. On the other hand an important negative correlation between IGFBP5 expression level and age was found (p<0,05). Beside that there was not any association between PANNS points and gene expression levels. Conclusion: Consequently, relation of PANSS and gene expressions was not significant. Otherwise IGFBP5 and IGF-I mRNA expression levels had not an important relation for schizophrenia patients.

    İş Kazalarının Lojistik Regresyon Yöntemi İle İncelenmesi: Bayburt İli Örneği

    Eygu, Hakan; Bulut, Mehmet

    Çalışanların sağlığı ve güvenliği, öncelikle beden ve ruh bütünlüğünün korunması yükümlülüğünüortaya çıkarmaktadır. Nitekim hukuk, kişinin beden ve ruh bütünlüğü üzerindeki hakkın korunması içinzarar vermeme yükümlülüğünü hem çalışana hem de işverene yüklemiştir. Bu doğrultuda iş kazalarınınortaya çıkmasına yönelik önlemlerin alınması oldukça önemlidir. İş kazaları, Türkiye’nin çözüm bulmaya çalıştığı ancak sonuca ulaşma noktasında başarılı olunamayan sorunlardan birisidir. Bunun enönemli sebeplerinden birisi ise iş sağlığı ve güvenliği kültürünün yerleşmemesidir. İş kazaları ile ilgiligerek sektörel gerekse de bölgesel bazda akademik çalışmaların yapılması önem arz etmektedir. Türkiye’de iş kazaları konusunda sektörel bazda bir çok akademik çalışma yapılmasına karşın bölgesel veyail bazında yapılan çalışmalar çok azdır. Bu doğrultuda çalışma ile yerli literatürdeki boşluğun doldurulmasına katkı sağlamak istenmektedir. Kullanılan teknik ile bu alanda yapılan çalışmalara farklı birboyut kazandıran özgün bir çalışma olduğu söylenebilir. Çalışmamızda Bayburt ilinde 2016-2019yılları arasında meydana gelen iş kazalarının Binary lojistik regresyon yöntemi ile incelenmesiamaçlanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda bağımlı değişkenimiz olan kaza sonucu (ölümlü ve yaralanmalı) ilebağımsız değişkenler arasında iş görememe durumu açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur.

    Türkiye’de Global Bütçe Uygulamasının Hastane Seçme Hakkına

    Bulut, Mehmet

    Sağlık harcamalarının hemen hemen tüm ülkelerde artma eğiliminde olması bütçe üzerindeki yükünün artmasını ve finansman sorununu beraberinde getirmektedir. Sağlık hizmetlerinin finansmanında ekonomik yönün yanı sıra sağlık hakkı ve hasta hakları açısından hukuksal yönün de göz önünde bulundurulması gerekmektedir. Nitekim ekonomik kaygılar ön planda tutularak geliştirilen sağlık hizmeti politikaları bazen sağlık hakkına ve hasta haklarına aykırı sonuçlar doğurabilmektedir. Sağlık sisteminin finansmanında, sağlık hizmet sunucularının gerçekleştirdikleri hizmetler neticesinde katlandıkları maliyetleri, finansör kamu kurumuna yansıtması ve bu kamu kurumunun sağlık hizmet sunucusuna ödeme yapması esastır. Yapılan bu ödemelere geri ödeme yöntemi adı verilmekte olup finans yöntemine göre sosyal parafiskal gelirler veya vergilerle karşılanmaktadır. Türkiye’de sağlık hizmetlerinin finansmanı açısından global bütçe uygulaması önemli bir yere sahiptir. Ancak söz konusu uygulama bireylerin hastane seçim hakkını dolaylı olarak sınırlandırmaktadır. Hastane seçme hakkı, birincil hasta haklarından olup sunulan hizmetin kalitesi, hijyen ve bekleme süresi en önemli belirleyiciler olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Ayrıca cepten ödemelerin daha az olduğu hastaneler de hasta tercihlerinde belirleyici olmaktadır. Bu çalışmamızda global bütçe uygulamasının hastane seçme hakkına olumsuz etkisi ele alınmıştır. Türkiye’de yasal düzenlemelerin ruhuna uygun şekilde yapılacak ikincil mevzuat düzenlemeleri ile tereddütlerin ortadan kaldırılmasıve hastane seçme hakkını ortadan kaldıran uygulamalardan vazgeçilmesi gerekmektedir. Konunun daha önceden herhangi bir akademik çalışmada ele alınmamış olması çalışmamızı özgün kılmaktadır.

    Butter production from ozone-treated cream: Effects on characteristics of physicochemical, microbiological, thermal and oxidative stability

    Sert, Durmus; Mercan, Emin; Kara, Ummugulsum

    The goal of this research was to investigate the effects of the ozone treatment (OT) to raw cream on the physicochemical, microbiological, thermal, and oxidative properties of butter. For this purpose, butter samples were produced from raw cream, which was ozone-treated for 5 (OT-5), 15 (OT-15), 30 (OT-30), and 60 (OT-60) min. The control sample was also produced from non-ozonated raw cream. OT increased firmness, consistency, and fat particle size values of cream. The firmness of butter was between 97 and 380 N. Average fat particle size of samples (D[3.2]) ranged from 22.1 to 30.2 mu m, in which OT decreased it. A monomodal fat particle size distribution was determined in all-butter samples. OT decreased b value (yellowness) of butter, and the lowest value was determined in OT-60. The induction time of butter changed from 1.04 (OT-60) - 32.9 h (control). Two melting peaks were determined in butter samples at 14.2-14.6 and 32.3-33 degrees C. Ozonation for 60 min caused 2.01 log reduction in Staphylococci. Above 15 min, OT completely inactivated Salmonella and yeast-mould. Coliform was not detected in OT-30 and OT-60. The results showed that OT resulted in higher microbiological quality in butter from raw cream.

    Bayrain Temur, H.; Kilinçboz, Hilal

    It was aimed to investigate whether the increase in arm and leg circumference measurement values of weight training applied in a training has an effect on strength. Twenty-two boxers with a mean age of 20.09 +/- 1.41 years were included in the study. Measurements were taken twice, after the warm-up, before starting and after training. Right and left upper arm and forearm circumference, right and left femur and calf circumference values were determined. In addition, right and left-hand grip strength, leg strength and back strength values were determined. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that there was no significant difference (p<0.05) between right and left-hand grip strength pre-test and post-test values. It was determined that there was a difference between the leg strength pre-test and post-test values and between the pre-test and post-test values of all other parameters in favour of the post-test. However, the right arm and forearm circumference measurement values were calculated with the right-hand grip strength, respectively. Left-arm and forearm circumference measurement values were calculated with the left-hand drag force, respectively. Shoulder circumference measurement values with both right hand and left-hand drag force, respectively and correlation was detected.

The blood samples were taken on an empty stomach four times before the training of Zumba and at the end of each week. Blood samples were taken 24 hours after exercise at the end of every four weeks. These blood samples were studied in a healthcare facility laboratory. The lengths and body weights of the participants were also determined. We found that there was a decrease in body weight and BMI measurement values and AST measurement values. However, no significant change in serum HDL, LDL and triglyceride values was evidenced.
