Abstract
OBJECTIVE Vitamin D has been demonstrated to play a protective role in carcinogenesis. Polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) genes and 24-α-hydroxylase (encoded by CYP24A1) may affect the outcome of some cancers. This study examines the effects of the VDR gene and CYP24A1 single nucleotide polymorphisms on the outcome of supraglottic larynx cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients diagnosed with supraglottic larynx cancer between 2017 and 2022 were enrolled. Single nucleotide polymorphisms of the VDR gene (rs2228570, rs731236, rs7975232, rs11574113, rs11168267 and rs11168266) and CYP24A1 gene (rs4809960, rs6022999, rs6068816, rs2259735 and rs2296241) were investigated. All patients were followed up for any evidence of local recurrence, regional recurrence, distant metastasis, and second primary tumor development. Cox regression analysis was performed to evaluate the prognostic value of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. RESULTS 87 patients were included. The mean follow-up time was 45.02±24.47 months. Cox regression analysis for locoregional recurrence revealed that the hazard ratio of rs731236 GG was 2.098 (95% CI, range: 1.047-4.202, p=0.037). Locoregional recurrence for rs731236 AA, AG, and GG were 38.6%, 23.1%, and 53.3%, respectively. In the presence of rs731236 GG polymorphism, disease-specific survival was significantly shorter (47.63±7.48 months, p=0.015), and disease-free survival (45.71±6.3 months) was significantly shorter (p=0.040). Rates of metastases and second primary tumors were not significantly different between SNPs. CONCLUSIONS This study has demonstrated the possible effects of VDR rs731236 SNP on the locoregional recurrence and prognosis of supraglottic larynx cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different degrees of malnutrition are seen in patients with hematological malignancies. None of the approaches used to determine malnutrition risk have general acceptance. The use of the GLIM criteria developed by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition has promising results. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 67 patients with leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma were included in the study. NRS-2002 (Nutritional Risk Screening-2002) was used to screen the nutritional status of the patients, and malnutrition was diagnosed and graded using the GLIM criteria in patients who were found to be at risk of malnutrition in this test. The parameters followed in the groups with and without malnutrition were compared. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney U, and Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS Patients were analyzed by dividing them into two groups as those with and without malnutrition. The presence of infection, duration of fever, antibiotic, and antifungal use were significantly higher in malnourished than in nonmalnourished patients. Platelet counts and sodium levels were significantly lower in the malnourished arm. CONCLUSION Early nutritional support can increase the immunological status of patients with malignant disorders as well as their tolerability to treatment. Minimizing the risk of malnutrition and providing timely calorie and vitamin support are factors that may directly affect febrile neutropenia, duration of fever, and antifungal use, which will consequently lead to a decrease in the length of hospitalization.

Abstract
Background The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of nutritional status, comorbidity, and performance status on patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 112 DLBCL patients who were diagnosed at our center between 2009 and 2018. Demographic and disease characteristics and laboratory test results were recorded. Assessments were made using the age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (CCI-A) for comorbidity, albumin level for nutritional status, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score for performance status. Results The mean age of the patients was found to be 62.63 ± 15.16 years. The ECOG score of 65 patients (69.1%) was in the range of 0-1. The mean follow-up time of the patients was determined to be 25.24 ± 25.11 months, and at the end of the follow-up period, 64 patients (57.1%) were survivors. The progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and 5-year OS rates of those with CCI-A > 4 were found to be significantly lower than those with CCI-A score ≤4 (P < 0.05). As a result of the Cox-Regression (Backward: LR method) analysis, ECOG and albumin levels were found to be independent risk factors for both OS and PFS (P < 0.05). Conclusion This study demonstrated that CCI-A, ECOG, and nutritional status are independent prognostic markers for DLBCL patients. Initial evaluation of these patients should include all these parameters, which are easily available at the time of diagnosis.

Abstract
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeting therapies have become crucial in the management of HER2-positive breast cancer. Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is a microtubule inhibitor and HER2-targeted antibody conjugate. T-DM1 resistance is most likely influenced by factors involved in the biological mechanisms of T-DM1 action. This study aimed to examine the efficacy of statins, which influence HER-2-based therapies via the caveolin-1 (CAV-1) protein, in female breast cancer patients receiving T-DM1. Our study included 105 patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer treated with T-DM1. The progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients who received statins concurrently with T-DM1 versus those who did not were compared. During the median 39.5 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 35.6-43.5) months of follow-up, 16 (15.2%) patients received statins, and 89 (84.8%) patients did not. Median OS was significantly higher in patients using statins than in patients not using statins (58.8 vs 26.5 months, P = .016). The association between statin use and PFS did not reach statistical significance (34.7 vs 9.9 months, P = .159). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that better performance status (hormone receptor [HR]: 0.30, 95% CI: 0.13-0.71, P = .006), use of trastuzumab plus pertuzumab prior to T-DM1 (HR: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.18-0.76, P = .007) and use of statins with T-DM1 (HR: 0.29, 95% CI: 0.12-0.70, P = .006) were independent factors that prolong OS duration. Our study showed that T-DM1 is more effective at treating HER2-positive breast cancer in people who receive statins concurrently with T-DM1 than those who do not.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The prognostic significance of hemoglobin (HGB) -red cell distribution width (RDW) ratio (HRR) has been indicated in various cancer types. However, its clinical significance in patients with metastatic pancreas cancer (MPC) is unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prognostic importance of pre-treatment HRR in patients with metastatic pancreas cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS MPC patients (≥18 years of age) who received at least one course of chemotherapy between January 2001 and January 2021, were evaluated retrospectively in terms of pre-treatment HRR values. RESULTS Of 111 patients, the mean HRR value was 0.84, and the patients were divided into low HRR and high HRR groups. The median follow-up was 8.7 months (95% CI 1.8-51.6). The median duration of first-line treatment was 4.4 months (95% CI 0.5-31.3). The median overall survival (OS) was 7.6 months (95% CI 3.4-11.8) in the low HRR group and 8.7 months (95% CI 5.7-11.8 months) in the high HRR group (p=0.276) (Figure 1). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.2 months (95% CI 2.7-5.6 months) in the low HRR group and 5.1 months (95% CI 2.8-7.4 months) in the high HRR group (p=0.044) It was found that high HRR decreased progression event in both univariate (HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.45-0.99, p=0.046) and multivariate (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.42-0.93, p=0.022) analysis. CONCLUSIONS The present study emphasized that low HRR was a poor prognostic factor for PFS in patients with MPC. There was no statistically significant difference between the HRR groups regarding OS. This is the first study evaluating the prognostic significance of HRR in MPC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There have been significant advances in the treatment of hepatobiliary cancers, especially for advanced-stage disease. However, data is limited for optimal therapy selection in the first line and sequencing of available options. AREAS COVERED This review covers the systemic treatment of hepatobiliary cancers with an emphasis on the advanced stage. The previously published and ongoing trials will be discussed to create an algorithm for the current practice and to give future perspectives on how the field could go forward. EXPERT OPINION While there is no standard-of-care option in the adjuvant treatment of hepatocellular cancer, capecitabine is the standard of care for biliary tract cancer. The efficacy of adjuvant gemcitabine and cisplatin and the added benefit of radiotherapy to chemotherapy are yet to be defined. For the advanced stage, immunotherapy-based combinations became the standard of care for both hepatocellular and biliary tract cancers. The molecularly targeted therapy has profoundly changed the second-line and later treatment for biliary tract cancers, while the optimal second-line treatment for advanced hepatocellular cancer is yet to be defined due to rapid advances in the first-line setting.

Abstract
Background In in vitro studies, it is desirable that the storage solutions in which dental samples kept between extraction and experiment should prevent dehydration and have antimicrobial properties. However, it should be taken into consideration that these solutions may have some effects that directly change test results on physical and mechanical properties of laboratory samples. Aims The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of different storage media on dentin moisture, microhardness, and microshear bond strength of resin composite to dentin. Thirty non-carious human premolars were randomly divided into three groups: 1. 0.1% Thymol (T), 2. Distilled water (DW), 3. Dry storage (DS) (control) (n = 10). Dentin moisture was measured with a digital grain moisture meter. Dentin microhardness was measured with the Vickers test. The bond strength was measured with a microshear test. Materials and Methods Analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by the Bonferroni test was used for statistical evaluation (p = 0.05). Results Dentin moisture of the experimental groups was statistically higher than that of the control group (p < 0.05). In addition, the dentin moisture of group DW was significantly higher than that of group T (p < 0.05). The mean microshear bond strength of resin composite to dentin was higher in group DW than in group T and group DS (p < 0.05), while there was no statistical difference between group T and group DS. The microhardness values of all groups were statistically similar. Conclusions Storage solutions used for disinfection and to prevent dehydration may have negative effects on dentin moisture and bond strength.

Abstract
PURPOSE A significant portion of patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) relapse despite multimodality treatment denoting the need for biomarkers. The pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) is a recently developed blood count-based prognostic biomarker. We evaluated the relationship between PIV and survival in locally advanced HNSCC patients treated with chemoradiotherapy (CRT). METHODS A total of 199 patients who underwent CRT at Hacettepe University Oncology Hospital were included. The relationship between clinical and laboratory parameters with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) was analyzed by multivariate analyses. RESULTS The median age was 59 years and 90.5% of the patients were male. 66.8% of the patients had laryngeal primaries, and 78.9% had T3-T4 disease. 84.9% of the patients received CRT with cisplatin. The optimal PIV threshold value was calculated as 404 in ROC analyses. This PIV value had 75.8% sensitivity and 70.4% specificity for OS prediction (AUC 0.781; 95% CI 0.715-0.846; p < 0.001). In multivariate analyses, high PIV levels (≤ 404 vs. > 404, HR 2.862; 95% CI 1.553-5.276; p = 0.001), higher NLR (≤ 2.5 vs. > 2.5, HR 1.827; 95% CI 1.017-3.281; p = 0.044) levels and ECOG performance score of 2 (HR 2.267; 95% CI 1.385-3.711; p = 0.001) were associated with shorter OS. These factors were associated with shorter DFS also (HR for PIV 2.485, 95% CI 1.383-4.467, p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS We observed shorter OS and DFS in locally advanced HNSCC patients with high PIV levels. If prospective studies support our findings, the PIV score could be a prognostic biomarker in HNSCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mouse sperm can be stored for long or short-time periods. Nevertheless long-term storage leds to significantly reduced sperm quality and fertility because of cryodamage. Thus, in the storage of semen in mice, it is necessary to focus on media and temperatures that gives good results in short-term storage. OBJECTIVE To determine favorable media for short-term storage of mice spermatozoa by evaluating progressive motility, viability, membrane function integrity, acrosome integrity and fragmented DNA rates at various storage temperatures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mouse spermatozoa were collected from epididymides of mature CD1 males and samples were stored at 24 degree C and 4 degree C for 60 h. RESULTS Motility, viability and membrane function of mice spermatozoa were greatest when stored in KSOM media. Motility and viability were not different when stored at refrigerator or room temperature in KSOM compared to HTF or PBS mediums for 48 h, but were after 60 h. There was not any significant variation in terms of acrosome integrity in different preservation conditions. Fragmented DNA rates were similar in fresh sperm with KSOM and HTF media, while there was higher damage in PBS medium at 60 h. Overall, sperm parameters were affected significantly by the time of storage and type of preservation medium, and PBS extender was not suitable for mice spermatozoa at room and refrigerated temperatures as it caused the lowest progressive motility, viability, membrane function integrity and the highest DNA damage. CONCLUSION Mice spermatozoa stored in KSOM retained the best sperm quality parameters both 24 degree C and 4 degree C for the first 48 h. doi.org/10.54680/fr22610110612.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The clinical symptoms in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are directly proportional to prostate volume. We aimed to show whom and when to intervene in a noninvasive way, correlating the patient's subjective symptoms with objective diagnostic tools. MATERIAL AND METHOD International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was evaluated in patients who consulted the urology outpatient clinic for the first time with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Subsequently, PSA, urea, creatinine, complete urinalysis, uroflowmetry, urinary tract ultrasound and non-contrast lower abdominal computed tomography (CT) examinations were requested. Prostate central (transitional zone) zone and peripheral zone HU scores, prostatic urethral length and bladder wall Hounsfield units (HU) scores were recorded by using computed tomography (CT). The ellipsoid formula was used for ultrasonographic and tomographic measurements of prostate size (anteroposterior diameter × transverse diameter × longitudinal diameter × 0.52). RESULTS A statistically significant negative correlation was found between the prostate peripheral zone/central zone HU ratio and the maximum flow rate measured in the uroflowmetry test. CONCLUSION This is the first study in the literature to evaluate the correlation between voiding parameters such as Qmax, Qave and IPSS scores, and prostate and bladder wall HU scores obtained by computed tomography examination in BPH patients. A significant relationship has been detected between the peripheral zone/central zone HU ratio and Q max. Additional studies with larger patient populations could better clarify the contribution of HU in the diagnosis of BPH and treatment decision making of these patients.

Abstract
Purpose: With the widespread use of immunotherapy agents, we encounter treatment responses such as hyperprogression disease (HPD) that we have not seen with previous standard chemotherapy and targeted therapies. It is known that survival in patients with HPD is shorter than in patients without HPD. Therefore, it is important to know the factors that will predict HPD. We aimed to identify HPD-related factors in patients treated with immunotherapy. Methods: A total of 121 adult metastatic cancer patients treated with immunotherapy for any cancer were included. Baseline demographics, the ECOG performance status, type of tumors and baseline blood count parameters were recorded. Possible predisposing factors were evaluated with univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: The median age was 62.28 (interquartile range (IQR) 54.02−67.63) years, and the median follow-up was 12.26 (IQR 5.6−24.36) months. Renal cell carcinoma (33%) and melanoma (33.8%) were the most common diagnoses. Twenty patients (16.5%) had HPD. A high LDH level (p: 0.001), hypoalbuminemia (p: 0.016) and an NLR > 5 (p: 0.007) were found to be associated with hyperprogression. Sex (female vs. male, p: 0.114), age (>65 vs. <65, p: 0.772), ECOG (0 vs. 1−4, p: 0.480) and the line of treatment (1−5, p: 0.112) were not found to be associated with hyperprogression. Conclusions: In this study, we observed HPD in 16.5% of immunotherapy-treated patients and increased HPD risk in patients with a high LDH level (p: 0.001), hypoalbuminemia (p: 0.016) and an NLR > 5 (p: 0.007).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinicopathological features and survival of CD, which is quite rare and has many unknowns. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study was conducted by retrospectively evaluating patients diagnosed with CD in six different centers in Turkey. RESULTS The median age of 33 patients included in the study was 49 and 51.5% (n = 17) of these patients were women. 18 (54.5%) patients were in the hyaline vascular subtype and most of the patients were UCD (n = 20, 60.6%). The most common involvement region was head and neck (n = 19, 57.5%). The UCD group was younger than the MCD group (p=0.027). Visceral lymph node involvement was higher in MCD than in UCD (p=0.001). Similarly, it was observed that there was more hepatomegaly (p=0.035) and splenomegaly (p=0.013) in the MCD group. During the median 19.5 months follow-up period, there were no patients who died. CONCLUSIONS It was observed that UCD and MCD are different clinical entities. Promising survival times can be achieved with surgical and systemic treatments in both subtypes of this extremely rare disease. However, this result should be supported by well-designed prospective comprehensive studies.

Abstract
Background COVID-19 infection increases mortality in hematological malignancies. In a large meta-analysis, patients aged 60 years and older had a significantly higher risk of death than patients under 60 years of age [1]. Furthermore, a high risk of death and reduced survival in patients receiving B cell depletion therapy with prolonged COVID-19 infection was reported in a recent study [2]. High-grade B-cell lymphomas are classified as morphologically aggressive lymphomas with the presence of a high mitotic index and Ki-67 proliferation rates. They demonstrate aggressive behavior clinically as well as morphologically, and COVID-19 infection is an important factor that increases mortality in these patients. Herein, we present an elderly patient with a diagnosis of high-grade B-cell lymphoma, in whom a complete response was observed after prolonged COVID-19 infection. Case summary An 81-year-old female patient received her first cycle of R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisolone) treatment after being diagnosed with high- grade B-cell lymphoma. After being discharged from the hospital, the patient was referred to the emergency department with complaints of fever and fatigue when she came for the second cycle of chemotherapy. Her COVID-19 PCR test was found positive. She was admitted to the infectious diseases service and favipiravir treatment was started. On the 24th day of hospitalization, it was decided to perform interim FDG-PET/CT (Fluorodeoxyglucose - Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography) scan at a time that her PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test was still positive. A complete metabolic response was detected in her imaging. On the 26th day, the PCR test became negative and the patient was transferred to the oncology service and received the second cycle of R-CHOP treatment. Conclusion Our case emphasizes that antitumor effect could be seen in a patient with SARS-CoV-2 infection and a hematologic malignancy. It also highlights being alert to prolonged COVID-19 infection in patients receiving B-cell depletion therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the association of RDW with all-cause mortality and disease progression in patients with CKD in stage 3-4. METHODS This longitudinal observational cohort study of patients with CKD was conducted at a single center. We categorized baseline RDW into two groups by its median (14.9 %). The associations between baseline RDW values and all-cause mortality over 56 months were examined in unadjusted and adjusted models. The effect of RDW value on renal outcomes and mortality was evaluated by using Cox regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 261 patients were enrolled in the study. During an average follow-up of 56 months, 19.8 % of patients died. The area under the ROC curve for RDW for all-cause mortality was 0.746, with sensitivity of 0.74 and specificity of 0.69 for a cut-off point of 14.3 %. The incidence of all-cause mortality in the group with increased RDW was significantly higher than in the normal RDW group (p < 0.001). The Cox proportional hazard model showed that the elevated RDW level was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in patients with CKD in stage 3-4. CONCLUSION RDW is a powerful and independent prognostic marker for predicting all-cause mortality and disease progression in stage 3-4 of CKD (Tab. 4, Fig. 4, Ref. 29).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the pregnancy period, it is recommended to limit the consumption of caffeine. However, the mechanisms of caffeine effect during pregnancy are not fully known. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effect of prenatal caffeine consumption on the embryonic implantation in rats as well as shed light on the relationship between the molecules and implantation stages.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-five Wistar albino pregnant rats were randomly divided into 3 main groups, namely into control, low‑dose and high‑dose groups, representing the dose-dependent effects of caffeine. Each main group was divided into 3 subgroups, namely those to be sacrified on days 4 (pre-implantation), 5 (peri-implantation) and 6 (post-implantation) . Different doses of caffeine were given on consecutive days, starting from day 1 of pregnancy up to the day of euthanasia. The implantation sites were investigated with the use of hematoxylin et eosin, Masson trichrome and immunostaining of VEGF, MMP-9, integrin αVβ3, mucin-1 and HB-EGF. RESULT Prenatal caffeine consumption in rats resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in the number of implantation sites. It has been shown that the immunoreactivity of integrin αVβ3 and MMP-9 underwent a change. CONCLUSION It has been shown that the levels of integrin αVβ3 and MMP-9 were decreased by prenatal caffeine consumption in rats, which resulted in a decrease in embryo implantation in a dose-dependent manner, especially in the high-dose group (Fig. 5, Ref. 36).

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
In the present study, we investigate the association of acute-to-chronic (A/C) glycemic ratio with no-reflow (NR) development in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Material and methods
This retrospective study included 905 consecutive STEMI patients who were treated with primary PCI. The A/C glycemic ratio was determined as admission blood glucose (ABG) divided by the estimated average glucose (eAG). We evaluated two primary models (full model and reduced model).The primary outcome was the presence of NR.
Results
The incidence of NR was 22.7% (206 cases) in the present study. We divided the study population into three tertiles (T1, T2, and T3) based on the ABG/eAG ratio. There was a stepwise increase of the frequency of NR development from the T1 to T3 group (36 patients [12%] vs. 70 patients [23%] vs. 100 patients [33%]; respectively [p <0.001, for each group comparison]). In a full model, the ABG/eAG ratio (OR; 2.274, 95% CI; 1.587–3.26, p<0.001) was associated with NR. After the performance of a step-down backward variable selection method, the thrombus grade, the ABG/eAG ratio, the infarct-related artery diameter, and age remained in the reduced model. The ABG/eAG ratio (contributing 25.3% of the explainable outcome in the model) was one of the strong predictors of NR in the reduced model.
Conclusion
To the best of our knowledge, this might be the first study showing a significant relationship between the ABG/eAG ratios with NR in STEMI patients after primary PCI.

Abstract
Aims Our aim was to compare three different voxel sizes of CBCT images for the determination of residual filling material volume in root canals when compared with micro CT. Material and Methods Forty-two root canals of 14 extracted human maxillary molar teeth were retreated by using ProFile® instruments. Images were obtained after retreatment by using ProMax 3D Max CBCT at 3 different voxel sizes (1) High resolution (0.1 mm); (2) High definition (0.15 mm); and (3) Normal resolution (0.2 mm). Two observers measured volumes of residual filling materials in exported CBCT images by means of 3D Doctor Software. Micro CT measurements were served as gold standard. Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon Test were used for the comparison of CBCT and micro CT measurements. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Results No statistically differences were found between the two observers for all measurements (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences among different CBCT voxel sizes used (0.1 mm, 0.15 mm, and 0.2 mm) (P > 0.05). The Spearman correlation coefficients between CBCT at different voxel sizes significantly highly correlated with micro CT measurements for each observer (P < 0.05). Furthermore, no significant differences were found between the measurements obtained by the two observers in consideration to root canal location (P > 0.05). Conclusion CBCT images may provide useful information in the volumetric assessment of the amount of residual filling material in root canals for retreatment procedures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE 18F-Fluorine fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) imaging is considered the standard imaging modality for patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma. The aim of this study was to compare clinical staging (cTNM) performed with 18F-FDG PET/CT and surgical staging (sTNM) in patients with non-small cell carcinoma treated with surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 99 surgical patients with non-small cell carcinoma who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT examination. Semiquantitative measures were calculated from the primary lesions and mediastinal lymph nodes. Findings of cTNM were compared with final surgical-pathological evaluation. Subjects were divided into two groups as postsurgical cTNM changed and cTNM unchanged. Patients in the cTNM changed group were further classified as postsurgical upstaged (US) and downstaged (DS). Results of the US patients were compared with the results of the remaining patients consisting of cTNM unchanged and DS to evaluate the predictable roles of semiquantitative parameters for postsurgical upstaging. To determine mediastinal tumoral involvement, cut-off values were obtained from calculated semiquantitative results of FDG uptakes in lymph nodes. A p value<0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Subjects were aged 40-82 years with a mean age of 64.78±8.70 years. Classification agreement was observed in 43 patients (43%) and in 57%, postsurgical stage migration was seen. Concurrence of cTNM and sTNM was more pronounced in the T1 and N0 subsets which were 84% and 74%, respectively. The lowest concurrence was observed in N1 classification followed by T4 and N2 (1%, 50% and 58%, respectively). Change in T staging occurred in 20 of 56 (36%), in N staging 22 of 56 (39%) and change in T and N in 14 patients (25%). Distribution of US and DS patients in the cTNM changed group was 43% (24 of 56) and 57% (32 of 56), respectively. Results of semiquantitative measures were significantly higher in US patients than the results of the group consisting of DS patients and cTNM unchanged patients, for all parameters. Cut-off value calculated from mediastinal uptakes was most specific for metastases in MTV (metabolic tumor volume) with an acceptable sensitivity (90% and 67%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The concordance between cTNM and sTNM was better in staging T category compared to N stations. Semiquantitative measures of primary tumor may play a role in predicting postsurgical upstaging. Taking MTV into consideration in the mediastinal region may be more valuable than other parameters in the assessment of nodal involvement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between the triglyceride/high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and the risk of acute myocardial infarction in young adults. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 621 patients, who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) due to Myocardial Infarction (MI) at our hospital were included in this study. Demographic characteristics, risk factor profile, laboratory test results, electrocardiographic and CAG findings were assessed in the selected groups. RESULTS Total cholesterol, triglyceride/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (Tg/HDL) ratio, Tg levels, were higher in younger patients with MI, while glucose and high-density lipoprotein levels were lower. Using propensity score matching in the matched population comparing young patients to the older ones, serum triglyceride levels [179 (145-231) vs 148 (101-197)] and triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio [5.8 (4.1-9.1) vs 3.0 (1.8-4.6)] were significantly higher, whereas high density lipoprotein levels were observed dramatically lower (32.6 ± 8.2 vs 41.7 ± 8.8). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that Tg/HDL ratio may be an important predictor for an acute coronary syndrome in the young adult population. Tg/HDL ratio can be used to prevent MI in young adults (Tab. 3, Fig. 1, Ref. 32.).

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM About 20-25% of the testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are relapsed or refractory after first line therapy and optimal treatment for this group is poorly defined. We aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in this patient group.Material and. METHODS 19 patients with 28 ASCT were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were treated with BEP (Bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin) as first line therapy and TIP(paclitexalifosfamide, cisplatin) was given as salvage chemotherapy. Stem cell collection was performed with TIP and granulocyte stimulating factor. ASCT was performed with carboplatin(700mg/m2) and etoposite(750mg /m 2). The results were provided as median(min-max). P<0.05 was accepted as statistical significant level. RESULTS After ASCT, complete(CR) and partial remission (PR) rates were 47.3% and 31 .5% respectively. The median overall survival(OS) and progression free survival (PFS) were 18(0-37.4 months) and 7(0-15months) months respectively. Estimated 2-year OS was 47.4% and PFS was 35.3%. Grade 3/4 toxicities including diarrhea, mucositis, and toxic hepatitis were observed in 5 patients. Only one patient died due to complication of transplantation. CONCLUSION Although the number of the patients in this study is limited, ASCT seems to be a safe and effective treatment modality in relapsed refractory non-seminomatousTGCT with an acceptable OS, PFS and mortality rates.

Abstract
We present here a rare case of barotraumatic orbital blowout fracture. An 18-year-old man with sudden swelling of the right orbital region after severe and prolonged sneezing attack presented to our emergency department. Computed tomographic examination demonstrated a blowout fracture of the right orbital floor, which led to orbital emphysema and herniation of the orbital soft tissue. He was managed with nasal decongestants, steroids, anti-inflammatory drugs and an antibiotic. He developed no visual disturbance subsequently. (Hong Kong j.emerg.med. 2015;22:256-258)

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common cause of acute kidney injury. The pathologic mechanisms underlying renal I/R injury are complicated, involving reactive oxygen species, necrosis, cell apoptosis, and inflammation, but the exact mechanisms remain unclear. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the effect of oxymatrine (OMT) on renal I/R injury and its underlying mechanism. METHODS Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated to three groups (n = 10): the sham-control group, the renal I/R-untreated (I/R-untreated) group, and the I/R-OMT group. Renal I/R injury were induced by clamping the left renal artery for 45 min followed by 24 h of reperfusion. At 10 min before reperfusion, the rats in the I/R-OMT-treated group rats received an intravenous injection of 40 mg/kg OMT. Renal function and histological changes were compared and the relevant parameters of oxidative stress and inflammation were detected. RESULTS Oxymatrine pretreatment significantly decreased the level of renal dysfunction, attenuated the renal histological changes, the levels of reactive oxygen species production in renal tissue upon I/R. Additionally, OMT pretreatment could further activate the serum antioxidant enzyme activities. CONCLUSION The beneficial effects of OMT were likely mediated by the inhibition of lipid peroxidation and the increase in endogenous antioxidant activity. The results of this study indicate that oxymatrine may represent a potent anti-oxidant drug to protect the kidney against I/R injury (Fig. 5, Ref. 29).

Abstract
Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may have a profound impact on quality of life. There is increasing interest in measuring quality of life in lupus patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of SLE Quality of Life Questionnaire (L-QoL) in Turkish SLE patients. Methods SLE according to 2012 Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics Classification Criteria were recruited into the study. Demographic data, clinical parameters and disease activity measured with the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index-2000 (SLEDAI-2K); were noted. Nottingham Health Profile and Health Assessment Questionnaire were filled out in addition to the Turkish L-QoL (LQoL-TR). Internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and convergent and discriminant validity were evaluated. Results The mean age of participants was 43.55 ± 14.33 years and the mean disease duration was 89.8 ± 92.1 months. The patients filled out LQoL-TR in 2.5 min. Strong correlation of LQoL-TR with all subgroups of the Nottingham Health Profile and the Health Assessment Questionnaire were established showing the convergent validity. The highest correlation was demonstrated with emotional reactions (rho = 0.72) and sleep component (rho = 0.65) of the Nottingham Health Profile scale ( p < 0.0001). Its poor and not significant correlation with nonfunctional parameters (age, disease duration, perceived general health, SLEDAI-2K) showed its discriminative properties. LQoL-TR demonstrated good internal reliability with a Cronbach’s α of 0.93 and test–retest reliability with intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.87. Conclusion The LQoL-TR is a practical and useful tool which demonstrates good validity and reliability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between level of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) accumulation in primary breast tumour assessed by positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and histopathological and clinical prognostic factors. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed using the medical records of 58 female patients (age range: 31-86 years, mean age: 56) with biopsy of proven breast carcinoma, and who had undergone 18F-FDG PET/CT examination before chemotherapy/surgery. The 18F-FDG uptake of breast tumours was calculated as tumour to background ratio (TBR), which was compared with histopathological and clinical prognostic parameters. RESULTS The histology of the breast tumour in the 58 patients was ductal type in 52 (90%), lobular in 4 (7%), and mucinous in 2 (3%). Tumour size was ≤ 2cm in 31 (53%) patients, and>2cm in 27 (47%). The levels of TBRs were not significantly different between the patients groups with tumours of 2cm or less and greater than 2cm (P=0.131). No significant difference between levels of TBR was observed neither with regards to axillary lymph node involvement (P=0.065) nor in terms of distant metastases (p=0.123). No statistically significant difference was found in levels of TBRs between patients with c-erbB-2 receptor positive and negative ones (P=0.107). Progesterone receptor (PR) expression was observed in 33 patients (57%), and 25 patients (43%) were PR negative. As regards progesterone receptor status, a statistically significant difference was observed in mean TBR levels between patients with and without progesterone receptor expression (P=0.020). Oestrogen receptor expression was positive in 41 (71%) patients, and negative in 17 (29%) patients. The difference in the levels of TBRs between patients with and without oestrogen receptor expression was at the level of significancy (P=0.050). CONCLUSIONS It is concluded that 18F-FDG uptake correlates with progesterone negativity of the tumour. However, a significant association with clinical prognostic parameters and level of 18F-FDG uptake levels could not be demonstrated.

Abstract
The Banff Working Group on Liver Allograft Pathology reviewed and discussed literature evidence regarding antibody-mediated liver allograft rejection at the 11th (Paris, France, June 5-10, 2011), 12th (Comandatuba, Brazil, August 19-23, 2013), and 13th (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, October 5-10, 2015) meetings of the Banff Conference on Allograft Pathology. Discussion continued online. The primary goal was to introduce guidelines and consensus criteria for the diagnosis of liver allograft antibody-mediated rejection and provide a comprehensive update of all Banff Schema recommendations. Included are new recommendations for complement component 4d tissue staining and interpretation, staging liver allograft fibrosis, and findings related to immunosuppression minimization. In an effort to create a single reference document, previous unchanged criteria are also included.

Abstract
AIM We evaluated the outcomes of patients who underwent renal transplantation (Rtx) due to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) related to Alport syndrome in our study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-five patients (female/male: 9 [36%]/16 [64%]) who underwent Rtx at our center between 2002 and 2014 were enrolled in the study. Mean ages of patients and donors (cadaveric/living: 8 [32%]/17 [68%]) were 28.2 ± 11.6 and 42.3 ± 15.8 years, respectively. As immunosuppressive therapy, tacrolimus plus mycophenolic acid were used for 17 (68%) patients and cyclosporin plus mycophenolic acid were used for 8 (32%) patients where induction therapy was basiliximab 20 mg (day 0 and 4) for 11 (44%) patients and anti-thymocyte globulin for 8 (32%) patients. Acute rejection was diagnosed using biopsy and evaluated with Banff classification. Analyses were performed by using SPSS 20.0 software with outcomes of mean 75.4 ± 31.4 months follow-up. Patient and graft survival were measured by using Kaplan-Meier survival curve and compared by using log-rank test. RESULTS Graft survival rate was 89%, patient survival rate was 92.9%, and acute rejection rate was 12% (3 cases; 1 was cellular and 2 were antibody-mediated). Delayed graft function was observed in 4 (16%) cases, 1 patient (4%) had BK virus nephropathy and 2 (8%) patients required hemodialysis and had cytomegalovirus infection. At the last follow-up, mean serum creatinine level was 1.57 ± 1.23 mg/dL, spot urine protein creatinine ratio was 0.13 (0.04-1.84), and glomerular filtration rate was 71.7 ± 34.9 mL/min. CONCLUSION Rtx is an effective and successful treatment modality for ESRD cases related to Alport syndrome.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the predictors for limb loss among patients with diabetes who have complicated skin/soft-tissue infections. In this observational study, consecutive patients with diabetic foot infection (DFI) from 17 centres in Turkey, between May 2011 and May 2013 were included. The Turkish DFI Working Group performed the study. Predictors of limb loss were investigated by multivariate analysis. In total, 455 patients with DFI were included. Median age was 61 years, 68% were male, 65% of the patients were hospitalized, 52% of the patients had used antibiotics within the last month, and 121 (27%) had osteomyelitis. Of the 208 microorganisms isolated, 92 (44.2%) were Gram-positive cocci and 114 (54.8%) were Gram-negative rods (GNR). The most common GNR was Pseudomonas; the second was Escherichia coli, with extended spectrum β-lactamase positivity of 33%. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus species were found in 14% (29/208). Amputations were performed in 126/455 (28%) patients, 44/126 (34%) of these were major amputations. In multivariate analysis, significant predictors for limb loss were, male gender (OR 1.75, 95% CI 1.04-2.96, p 0.034), duration of diabetes >20 years (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.18-3.11, p 0.008), infected ulcer versus cellulitis (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.11-3.18, p 0.019), history of peripheral vascular disease (OR 2, 95% CI 1.26-3.27, p 0.004), retinopathy (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.19-4.25, p 0.012), erythrocyte sedimentation rate >70 mm/hr (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.01-2.68, p 0.05), and infection with GNR (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.08-3.02, p 0.02). Multivariate analysis revealed that, besides the known risk factors such as male gender, duration of diabetes >20 years, infected ulcers, history of peripheral vascular disease and retinopathy, detection of GNR was a significant predictor of limb loss.

Abstract
Trauma management shows significant progress in last decades. Determining the time and place of deaths indicate where to focus to improve our knowledge about trauma. We conducted this retrospective study from data of trauma victims who were brought to a major tertiary hospital which is a level one trauma center in Ankara, Turkey, and died even if during transport or in the hospital between 1 March 2010 and 1 March 2013. The patients' demographic characteristics, trauma mechanisms, time frames and causes of deaths determined by physicians were recorded. Traumas were grouped as "high energy trauma" (HET) and "low energy trauma" (LET). Falls from ground level were defined as LET. 209 traumatic deaths due to trauma or trauma-related conditions were found in the study period. 161 of 209 (78 %) patients suffered from HET. Motor vehicle collisions (MVC) (56 %) were the most common mechanism of trauma followed by burns (16 %), falls (11 %), gunshots (9 %) and stabs (6 %) in this group and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) (41 %) were the most common cause of death followed by circulatory collapse (22 %) and multi-organ failure (20 %). 36 % of deaths occurred before arrival at hospital, 25 % in the first 24 h of admission, 18 % between 2nd and 7th day and 21 % after first week. Trimodal distribution of traumatic deaths was not valid for all types of injuries and the most important factor to decrease traumatic deaths is still prevention. Also we have to keep on searching to improve our knowledge about trauma management.

Abstract
Objective: We aimed to identify the role of major respiratory viruses in the aetiology of human nasal polyps using polymerase chain reaction technique. Methods: Thirty patients with nasal polyps and a group of 20 healthy patients (control group) were included in this study. Mucosa was obtained from the polyps of patients with nasal polyposis and from the middle turbinate of the control group patients by means of biopsy. The samples were stored at -80 °C until molecular analysis by polymerase chain reaction was carried out. Results: In the control group, the human coronavirus and human rhinovirus were diagnosed in one of the patients and the human respiratory syncytial virus in another. In the group with nasal polyposis, the influenza B virus was identified in one of the patients and the human coronavirus in another. Conclusion: The results did not demonstrate a statistically significant relationship between nasal polyposis and respiratory viruses.
