With an aging population the frequency of postmenopausal fractures is increasing. Methods to enhance the repair of osteoporotic bone repair therefore become more important to reduce the society burden of care. We asked if absorbable collagen sponges containing recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) have the potential to enhance bone repair. We randomly assigned 40 rats into the ovariectomy and sham operation groups. A segmental defect was created in the right tibia 12 weeks after ovariectomy. rhBMP-2-containing absorbable collagen sponges were implanted into the defect in half of the animals in each group. We analyzed radiographs and histological sections and performed three-point bending tests to assess repair. Radiological scores in the rhBMP-2 applied rats were higher than those in controls at the end of 8 weeks after tibial osteotomy. The specimens failed under higher loads in the rhBMP-2-applied groups and histology revealed a higher fracture healing score, including callus formation, bone union, marrow changes, and cortex remodeling. We observed no adverse tissue responses such as fibrous connective tissue formation and inflammatory cellular infiltration. rhBMP-2 in absorbable collagen sponges enhanced bone repair in segmental tibial defects of ovariectomized rats. The sponges with rhBMP-2 appeared to enhance bone repair.

AIDS knowledge and educational needs of technical university students in Turkey Ungan, M; Yaman, H (Elsevier BV, 2003-10-01) AIDS is a main health problem of the recent century and is now considered a very important cause for mortality and morbidity among young people. The aim of this research is to determine the Turkish university students knowledge, sexual risk behavior, attitude towards AIDS and educational needs concerning AIDS. A cross-sectional exploratory design is utilized in this study. One thousand four hundred and twenty-seven university new registrants from the Middle East Technical University participated and answere...
Assessment of Longevity Risk on PensionFunds: Credibility Approach Yıldırım Külekci, Bükre (null; 2019-10-28) Over the last 100 years, there has been a steady decline in mortality rates. With the unexpected decrease in death rates; variability in the age of death declined and deaths are concentrated to the older years of life, therefore, causing deficits in the pooled funds of insurance and pension providers, which are built upon the underestimated rates. To correctly measure the effect of mortality rates on the financial stability of these providers, longevity risk should be taken seriously. This study aims to inv...
Effect of Turkish mortality developments on the expected lifetime and annuity using entropy measure Yıldırım Külekci, Bükre (2020-06-01) Over the past three centuries, there has been a steady and gradual decline in mortality rates due to a considerable process of eliminating hazards to survival, which have increased the life expectancy at birth remarkably. The improvements in mortality rates often been underestimated by annuity and pension providers. To measure the effect of mortality rate developments on life expectancy or annuity, many demographers use the idea of entropy. We use the entropy measure to explain the effect of any change in m...
Diagnosis of developmental dislocation of the hip by sonospectrography KAPICIOĞLU, MEHMET OSMAN KURTKAN; Korkusuz, Feza (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2008-04-01) Because not all infants can be screened for DDH by experts, early diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) by primary health care professionals is important. We developed a broadband electroacoustic sound transmission-detection (sonospectrography) system and explored its utility in 22 patients (average age, 5.9 years; range, 0.3-14 years) with unilateral DDH in this preliminary study. Distinct from ultrasonography, the sonospectrography system functions by sound transmission and recording throu...
Does bilateral total knee arthroplasty affect gait in women? Comparison of gait analyses before and after total knee arthroplasty compared with normal knees Solak, AS; Kentel, B; Ates, Y (Elsevier BV, 2005-09-01) We performed gait analysis of 24 patients with bilateral knee osteoarthritis (OA) before, 1 year, and 2 years after bilateral total knee arthroplasty and compared these results to 12 normal controls. Cadence was significantly decreased in OA patients when compared with controls. Step and stride lengths were significantly different preoperatively (shorter) and postoperatively (P < .05), but postoperative results showed no significant difference when compared with normal controls ( P < .05). Step and stride t...
