Extracellular matrix provides a healthy functional condition for skin; it is composed largely of collagen and secreted by fibroblasts. As the aging develops, cellular proteins change shapes which prevents the proteins from proper communications resulting in the loss of extracellular matrix and collagen. Finally, the wrinkles and aging effects start building up. Meanwhile, the use of collagen stimulating products can reverse this process. Many herbal products have been produced for the repair of aging effects. Besides the benefits, some of those manufactured herbal products have the adverse effects as a result of unscientific production. In this study, in-vitro experimental steps were planned for the search of herbal ingredients to help the induction of collagen biosynthesis. Plant samples that are used were selected from the effective facial mask recipes, as seed cotyledon of Aesculus hippocastanum and aerial parts of Hyperricum perforatum, Primula vulgaris, Achillea millefolium. vi The plant samples were extracted in methanol and experimental steps were started with the anti-oxidant tests. Hypericum perforatum extract revealed the highest antioxidant effect. Then, human fibroblasts were exposed to each extract and the effects of crude extracts were investigated on the expression level of type 1 collagen by qPCR and westen blot analysis. In qPCR analysis Achillea millefolium extract and in westen blot analysis Primula vulgaris extract had the highest induction rate. Those two extracts were fractionated with appropriate solvents (hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, water respectively). The effects of the ethyl acetate and water fractions as well as the crude extracts were again investigated on the expression level of type 1 collagen. The highest induction rate of collagen was found with the crude extract treatments. In conclusion, the crude extract of Primula vulgaris was found to reveal the highest induction on collagen biosynthesis, which can be used in dermatological skin care products.

Examination of the dielectrophoretic spectra of MCF7 breast cancer cells and leukocytes
Çağlayan, Zeynep; Demircan Yalçın, Yağmur; Külah, Haluk (Wiley, 2020-03-01)
The detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood is crucial to assess metastatic progression and to guide therapy. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a powerful cell surface marker-free method that allows intrinsic dielectric properties of suspended cells to be exploited for CTC enrichment/isolation from blood. Design of a successful DEP-based CTC enrichment/isolation system requires that the DEP response of the targeted particles should accurately be known. This paper presents a DEP spectrum method to inve...
Evaluation Of Emotional Conditions of Patients with Rheumatic Diseases Who Participated in Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach Through Telerehabilitation with respect to the course of COVID-19 outbreak in Turkey
Taştekin, Elif; Yet, Barbaros; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2021-7-20)
Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach (CETA) is an innovative exercise method that approaches patients from biological, social, and psychological perspectives. It takes advantage of physical exercises and cognitive therapy in a way to support each other. This study investigates the emotional states of patients with rheumatic diseases who participated in CETA during the Coronavirus outbreak and the quarantine period in 2020 and 2021 in Turkey. CETA has been applied to a group of patients for some time through ...
Development of a UV crosslinked biodegradable hydrogel containing adipose derived stem cells to promote vascularization for skin wounds and tissue engineering
Eke, Gozde; Mangir, Naside; Hasırcı, Nesrin; MacNeil, Sheila; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2017-06-01)
The aim of this study was to design a dermal substitute containing adipose derived stem cells (ADSC) that can be used to improve the regeneration of skin on difficult wound beds by stimulating rapid neovascularization. This was achieved by first synthesizing methacrylated gelatin (GeIMA) and methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HAMA) precursors which could be stored at -80 degrees C after lyophilisation. Polymer precursors were then dissolved in media (in 15:1 ratio), ADSCs added together with the photoinitiator ...
Evaluation of methylation profiles of an epidermal growth factor receptor gene in a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patient group
Mutlu, M.; Mutlu, Pelin; Azarkan, S.; Baylr, Ö.; Öcal, B.; Saylam, G.; KORKMAZ, MEHMET HAKAN (2021-03-23)
Upregulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene has shown an important impact on the development of head and neck cancers due to its important regulation role on multiple cell signaling pathways. The aim of this study was to investigate the methylation pattern of the promoter region of the EGFR gene between head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients and a control group. Forty-seven unrelated HNSCC patients, clinically diagnosed at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Dlşkapl Y...
The Comparison of Fixed and Flexible Progestin Primed Ovarian Stimulation on Mature Oocyte Yield in Women at Risk of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency
Kalafat, Erkan; Dizdar, Merve; Turkgeldi, Engin; Yildiz, Sule; Keles, Ipek; Ata, Baris (2022-02-01)
While gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists have been the standard of pituitary suppression during ovarian stimulation for ART, progestin primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) has emerged as an alternative. Progestins can be started simultaneously with gonadotrophins (fixed PPOS) or later in the cycle depending on follicle growth (flexible PPOS). However, the flexible and fixed PPOS regimens have not been directly compared as of yet. This was a retrospective cohort study including women with dimini...
