Bisphosphonates are systemic drugs. There is limited knowledge about their effects when applied locally and in osteomyelitis treatment. A prospective longitudinal randomised controlled study was designed in rat tibia to test the efficacy of local or systemically administered bisphosphonates for controlling the osteolytic reactions and possible effects on local infection control. Tibial osteomyelitis was induced in 72 Wistar albino rats with Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 strain. D,bridement was performed on all rats in all groups. No other treatment was given to the control group. Treatment groups received "plain bone grafts", "vancomycin-loaded bone grafts", "vancomycin-loaded bone grafts+systemic alendronate", "alendronate-impregnated bone grafts" and "vancomycin+alendronate-impregnated grafts". Study results were evaluated by swab cultures, radiology, quantitative computed tomography, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and histopathology. S. aureus was eradicated in groups II and IV by the sixth week. Diaphyseal widening, bone deformation, diaphyseal widening and osteolysis scores were significantly lower (p < 0.05), and bone mineral content, density measurements and DEXA scores were significantly higher (p = 0.001) with alendronate administration. Histology revealed marked osteoblastic activity. Local alendronate interfered with local infection control. Even though local alendronate at the given dose has stronger effects, the possible effects on the local inflammatory process needs to be clarified.

Possible interactions between antioxidant enzymes and free sialic acids in saliva: A preliminary study on elite judoists Cavas, L; Arpinar, P; Yurdakoc, K (Georg Thieme Verlag KG, 2005-12-01) Measurement of antioxidant enzyme activities is of great importance in the evaluation of oxidative stress in human metabolism. Sialic acids are also vital bio-markers for some diseases such as acute myocardial infarction and diabetes. In the present study, antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, GSH-Px) and free sialic acid (FSA) levels in saliva were determined before and after training in the elite Turkish judoists (ETJ). According to the results, antioxidant enzyme activities in post-exercise values wer...
Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Antagonist Administration Recovers Skeletal Muscle Dysfunction in Ovariectomized Rats Dagdeviren, Sezin; KANDİLCİ, HİLMİ BURAK; Uysal, Berna; ZEYBEK, NACİYE DİLARA; KORKUSUZ, PETEK; Gumusel, Bulent; Korkusuz, Feza (Wiley, 2011-02-01) Skeletal muscles deteriorate after ovariectomy. Molecular pathway of this deterioration has not been defined. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha activation is assumed to trigger muscle atrophy and administration of its antagonist is hypothesized to recover this atrophy in rats. Slow-twitch soleus and fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus muscle functions were investigated in intact, ovariectomized (OVX), and OVX plus 10 mu g/g/week TNF-alpha antagonist administered female rats. Maximum isometric twitch and t...
Drug Resistant MCF-7 Cell Lines Also Developed Cross-Resistance to Structurally Unrelated Anticancer Agents Iseri, Ozlem D.; Kars, Meltem D.; Eroglu, Seckin; Gündüz, Ufuk (2009-03-01) The cells developing resistance to an applied drug may also present cross-resistance to other anticancer drugs which are not applied. In this study, the development of cross-resistance in paclitaxel (MCF-7/Pac), docetaxel (MCF-7/Doc), vincristine (MCF-7/Vinc) and doxorubicin (MCF-7/Dox) resistant MCF-7 cells to selective anticancer drugs, tamoxifen and all trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) were investigated. Combined antiproliferative effects of these drugs in different combinations were also evaluated by checkerb...
Raloxifene delivery systems for osteoporosis treatment Kavas, Ayşegül; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Keskin, Dilek; Department of Engineering Sciences (2014) One of the osteoporosis drugs, Raloxifene (Ral) is systemically administrated in high dose at frequent intervals, causing high risk of side effects which influence all the body. As a solution to such issues, delivery systems providing controlled and sustained drug release at therapeutic level from a carrier have been studied recently. The aim of this study was to develop Ral- or Ral-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-loaded poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) or PCL:poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres and to...
Genotoxicity studies of tetrahydro-naphthalene-benzimidazole/thiazolidinedione as retinoid derivatives Doğan, Tuğba; Ates-Alagoz, Zeynep; Buyukbingol, Erdem (2015-11-01) Objective: Mutagenicity is an undesirable side effect of clinically prescribed drugs, thus raises the question of their potential carcinogenicity. Taking into account that nitro compounds are known for their genotoxicity, it will be considerable interest to assess the genotoxic activities of the benzimidazole/thiazolidinedione retinoid derivatives. For this reason, the present study reports the genotoxicity of previously synthesized benzimidazole/thiazolidinedione-retinoid derivatives (Ates-Alagoz and Buyuk...
