Objective: To assess and compare the effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation (LIPUS) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the bone mineral density (BMD) of bone formed through distraction osteogenesis (DO) using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Background data: LIPUS and LLLT are noninvasive supporting treatment concepts used for wound healing. LIPUS has been used to accelerate bone healing through the therapeutic effect arising from piezoelectric and angiogenetic effects on cell membranes. LLLT known as "photobiomodulation'' is used in the treatment of soft and hard tissue injuries. Methods: The study was conducted with 15 New Zealand rabbits randomly divided into three groups of 5 according to treatment, as follows: Group A: DO was performed with no further treatment; Group B: DO was performed followed by 30mW/cm(2) LIPUS at 1 Mhz for 20 min/day during the distraction period; Group C: DO was performed followed by 25mW/cm(2) LLLT at 650 nm for 10 min/day during the distraction period. DEXA was used to examine the treated areas prior to surgery and at 30 and 60 days postoperatively. Results: In the control group, the mean BMD values at both 30 and 60 days postoperatively were below the baseline level, whereas they were above at the same time intervals in the LIPUS group. In the LLLT group, the mean BMD value at 30 days postoperatively was below the baseline level, whereas it was above the baseline level at 60 days postoperatively. Conclusions: LIPUS and LLLT applied during the distraction period accelerated the DO treatment.

A cost-effective and simple culture method for primary hepatocytes Aday, Sezin; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Deliloglu Gurhan, Ismet (2011-03-01) Hepatocytes, the major epithelial cells of the liver, maintain their morphology in culture dishes coated with extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen and fibronectin or biodegradable polymers (e.g. chitosan, gelatin). In these coated dishes, survival of cells and maintaining of liver-specific functions may increase. The aim of this study was to determine a suitable, cost-effective and simple system for hepatocyte isolation and culture which may be useful for various applications such as in vi...
The molecular investigation of the effects of simvastatin, a cholesterol reducing drug, on different rat skeletal muscle tissues Şimşek Özek, Nihal; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biology (2007) In the present study Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Attenuated Total Reflectance FTIR (ATR-FTIR) Spectroscopy were used to examine the effects of simvastatin on structure, composition and function of macromolecules of three different rat skeletal muscles EDL (Extensor Digitorium Longus), DIA (Diaphragm) and SOL (Soleus) containing different amount of slow and fast twitch fibers, at molecular level. Simvastatin, a lipophilic statin, is widely used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and cardiovas...
The effect of hip rotation on bone mineral density of the proximal femur measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry Celik, Oezguer; Salci, Yasar; MANİSALI, METİN; Korkusuz, Feza (2009-01-01) Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of lower extremity position changes on hip bone mineral density measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.
A NONINVASIVE FOCAL FIELD INTENSITY ESTIMATION METHOD USING FINITE-AMPLITUDE EFFECTS IN ULTRASOUND HYPERTHERMIA OZYAR, MS; KOYMEN, H (1991-12-11) A method for noninvasive in situ estimation of intensity in ultrasound hyperthermia is presented. The method employs the nonlinear theory of sound propagation in a focused ultrasound hyperthermia system in order to determine the focal field intensity, where the sound intensity levels are relatively high in the focal volume.
