Objectives: Based upon inflammatory-related factors in chronic systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), as well as the long-term prescription of corticosteroids, metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence is expected to be higher in SLE patients than among those without SLE. The aim of this study was to systematically analyze: (1) the worldwide prevalence of MetS in patients with SLE using different criteria, (2) the risk of MetS in patients with SLE compared with those without SLE, and (3) the risk of MetS component in patients with SLE compared with healthy controls. Methods: We searched international databases, such as: Web of Science, Medline, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, CABI, CINAHL, DOAJ and Google Scholar. The articles which reported the prevalence of MetS in SLE patients, between 2006 and 2017, were included in the study if they had a: clear study design, study time and location, sound sampling approach and appropriate statistical analyses. Studies without sufficient data to determine the prevalence of MetS were excluded. Also, studies in patients suffering from other clinical diseases were not included. Results: The meta-analyses of the prevalence (40 studies (n = 6085)) and risk (20 studies (n = 2348)) of MetS in SLE patients were conducted separately. The pooled prevalence of MetS among SLE patients was found to be 26% (95% confidence interval (CI): 22-30%), but varied from 18% (95% CI: 11-25%) to 34% (95% CI: 25-42%), depending upon the diagnostic criteria used. The overall pooled odds ratio (OR) of MetS in SLE patients, compared with healthy controls, was (OR = 2.50; 95% CI: 1.86-3.35), but this ranged from (OR = 1.23; 95% CI: 0.61-2.49) to (OR = 10.71; 95% CI: 1.33-86.48), depending upon the criteria used. Also, the risk of high fasting blood sugar (FBS; OR = 1.59; 95% CI: 1.05-2.40), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C; OR = 1.43; 95% CI: 1.02-2.01), high blood pressure (BP; OR = 2.76; 95% CI: 2.19-3.47), high triglycerides (TG; OR = 2.85; 95% CI: 2.05-3.95) and high waist circumference (WC; OR = 1.37; 95% CI: 0.97-1.94) were all found to be higher in SLE patients compared with healthy controls. Conclusions: The risk of MetS was significantly higher in SLE patients, compared with healthy controls, even after adjusting for publication bias. Among MetS components, high TG and high BP were most strongly associated with SLE. Considering that high TG and high BP are preventable, there is an international need to implement effective interventions to reduce MetS components in SLE patients in order to prevent serious outcomes such as cardiovascular diseases and mortality.

Social construction of "pseudo disease" in Turkey: Clinicians' practice of "giving diagnosis", patiens' voices from "subject positions" Usubütün, Seda; Aksu, Meral; Department of Psychology (2003) Pseudo diseases" that will be explored in that study are Undifferentiated Somatoform Disorder (USD), Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). CFS is a diagnostic label that is not currently used in Turkish medical practice. In order to document the latency or absence of CFS diagnosis in our context, 108 medical specialists from Neurology, Infectious Diseases, Physical Treatment and Rehabilitation, and Psychiatry were asked to read a case scenario of a possible CFS patient and to give ...
The effects of high cholesterol/high fat diet on endoplasmic reticulum stress and neuronal dysfunction in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex of APOE-/- MICE Mengi, Naz; Yanık, Tülin; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2019) Hyperlipidemia is an obesity-associated lipid metabolism disorder with high serum total cholesterol (TC) levels and is known to be a risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases. High-fat diet (HFD) induced elevated inflammation levels accompanied by increased levels of apoptosis markers and decreased levels of synaptic proteins in the hippocampus points out a possible neuronal loss. Protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) pathway is activated by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. The acti...
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NONSPECIFIC INFLAMMATION MARKERS AND COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY IMAGING IN NON-TRAUMATIC ACUTE ABDOMEN Kozaci, Nalan; Ay, Mehmet Oguzhan; Cetinkunar, Suleyman; Soker, Gokhan; Başbuğ Erkan, Berna Burçak; Celikdemir, Alper; Acehan, Selen; Gulen, Muge; Satar, Salem (2014-01-01) Aims: The purpose of the study was to establish whether the patients presenting with abdominal pain should undergo to contrast enhanced CT (Computed tomography). For this purpose, we have investigated the possible relationship between CRP (C-reactive protein),WBC (White blood cell), neutrophil levels and the presence of pathological findings determined on abdominal pelvic CT images.
The Utility of fNIRS Signals versus Self-Report for Classification of Fibromyalgia Syndrome EKEN, AYKUT; Gökçay, Didem; BASKAK, BORA; Baltaci, Aysegul; KARA, MURAT (2017-05-18) Fibromyalgia (FM) is a widespread painful disease that has a 2-8% prevalence. Its diagnosis is generally performed by American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. However, these criteria are subjective and their reliability is controversial. In this study, painful stimulation and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) were applied to both hands of healthy controls and FM patients and hemodynamic responses was measured by using Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS). Features extracted...
The effects of antioxidants on some rat tissues and membranes Görgülü, Güvenç; Güray, Tülin; Department of Biochemistry (2004) High blood glucose levels induce metabolic disorders that initiate a sequence of events including renal, arterial, cardiac and retinal disorders. Diabetes mellitus increases oxidative stress in tissues of animals including humans. The resulting oxidative stress might play role in the development of diabetic complications. In the present study, 36 male Wistar rats (250-300g) were divided into 5 groups as Control (n=6), Diabetic (n=7), Diabetic + Vit C (n=7), Diabetic + a-Lipoic acid (n=6) and Diabetic + Comb...
