Objectives. Increased levels of hypomethylated CpG-containing DNA in sera from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may contribute to the initiation anduor perpetuation of the disease. This study characterizes the in vitro response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from SLE patients to CpG DNA. Methods. Secretion of cytokines and IgM, cell proliferation and up-regulation of co-stimulatory molecules were evaluated in PBMC from SLE patients (n=24) and normal controls (n=24) after stimulation with synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) containing CpG motifs. Results. Up-regulation of co-stimulatory molecules and the secretion of interferon-a and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in response to CpG ODN was significantly reduced in monocytes and dendritic cells from SLE patients. Secretion of interferon-c by natural killer (NK) cells was also reduced. In contrast, the IgM and IL-10 response of B cells to CpG ODN was normal. Conclusion. Monocytes, dendritic cells and NK cells from SLE patients respond abnormally to CpG ODN stimulation, which may contribute to the cytokine imbalance observed in SLE.

Relationships Between Epidemiological Features and Tumor Characteristics of Breast Cancer Dogan, Lutfi; Kalaylioglu, Zeynep; Karaman, Niyazi; Ozaslan, Cihangir; Atalay, Can; Altinok, Mehmet (2011-01-01) Objectives. Breast cancer is a histological, morphological and molecular heterogenous disease. Like clinical outcomes and prognoses of different subtypes, etiologies might also be different. Therefore, epidemiologic risk factors like sociologic, demographic, antropometric, reproductive, and menstrual factors can be considered as an entity reflected in tumor features. This study was planned to explore the relation between well known risk factors of breast cancer and histological and molecular features of the...
Biomechanical Evaluation of a Novel Apatite-Wollastonite Ceramic Cage Design for Lumbar Interbody Fusion: A Finite Element Model Study BOZKURT, CELAL; ŞENKÖYLÜ, ALPASLAN; Aktas, Erdem; SARIKAYA, BARAN; SİPAHİOĞLU, SERKAN; Gürbüz, Rıza; Timucin, Muharrem (2018-01-01) Objectives. Cage design and material properties play a crucial role in the long-term results, since interbody fusions using intervertebral cages have become one of the basic procedures in spinal surgery. Our aim is to design a novel Apatite-Wollastonite interbody fusion cage and evaluate its biomechanical behavior in silico in a segmental spinal model. Materials and Methods. Mechanical properties for the Apatite-Wollastonite bioceramic cages were obtained by fitting finite element results to the experimenta...

Psychosocial issues of the Syrian Refugee College Students in Turkey Erdur Baker, Özgür; Özmen, Onur (2017-07-14) Objectives 1. Identify the institutional pressures ethnic minorities experience in a Chinese dominant society 2. Evaluate the coping strategies used in developing resilience 3. Develop a theoretical framework that can explain high levels of self-efficacy and its effects on marginalised groups Method Interviews were conducted with a sample of Hong Kong ethnic minority youth (n=20). The data were coded in multiple ways to enable comparisons, develop connections between different codes and validate the emergin...
