Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes education in Turkey is provided by diabetes nurse educators in almost all healthcare organizations. However, the education is not standardized in terms of learning content, duration, and methods. This multi-center study was performed to assess the self-care behaviors and glycemic control following education provided to the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by diabetes nurse educators. METHODS This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study and included 1535 patients admitted to 28 public hospitals for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The education was assessed by using a Patient Identification Form and Self-care Scale. RESULTS The proportion of individuals who received diabetes education within the last year was 78.5%, with 46.7% of them having received it once. Of the patients, 84.8% reported that they received diabetes education individually. It was found that the proportion of individuals who received education about oral antidiabetics (78.5%) and glucose testing at home (78.5%) was higher than the proportion of individuals who received education about exercise (58.8%) and foot care (61.6%). The status of diabetes education, education intervals, and the correlation of the education method with self-care and glycemic control was evaluated. Self-care and glycemic control levels were better among the patients who received diabetes education thrice or more and in patients who received education both individually and in a group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Approximately three-quarters of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus received education by diabetes nurse educators in Turkey. Diabetes education is positively correlated with self-care and glycemic control levels among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Efforts for generalization and standardized education for all diabetes patients are necessary.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a transtheoretical model (TTM)-based foot care program on foot self-care behaviors and self-efficacy among adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). A prospective, assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial was conducted between January 2020 and October 2020 at the endocrinology outpatient unit of a hospital in the north-west Turkey. The sample was composed of 51 adults with T2DM randomly allocated to the intervention group (n = 25) and control group (n = 26). The intervention group received the TTM-based foot care program during a 6-month period. The data were analyzed using the two-way repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA). After intervention, the intervention group's the diabetic foot care self-efficacy scale scores increased significantly at 3 and 6 months, compared with the control group. Similarly, the intervention group's the foot self-care behavior scale scores also increased significantly at 3 months and 6 months.

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
Recently a parvovirus called bufavirus (BuV) has been implicated as a causative agent of diarrhoea. To further reveal the epidemiology and genetic characteristics of BuV, this study was performed in Turkish children with diarrhoea. BuV was detected in 1.4% (8/583) of stool samples. All stool samples from healthy children (n = 148) were negative for BuV. Diarrhoea in BuV-positive patients was severe and occurred mainly during the colder months of the year. Complete genome sequences were generated from four BuVs. Only BuV3 was found, which was genetically and phylogenetically similar to Bhutanese BuV3, indicating that BuV3 is prevalent in Asian countries.

Abstract
Data arising from the recent literature directed the researchers to study on the degree and extent of bisphosphonate toxicity on oral mucosa in further detail. The aim of this study is to determine the half maximal inhibitory concentration of pamidronate (PAM) and alendronate (ALN) on human gingival fibroblasts in vitro using 3-[4.5-thiazol-2-yl]-2.5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and to evaluate the effects of both agents on the proliferation and apoptotic indices. Cells used in the study were generated from human gingival specimens and divided into alendronate (n = 240), PAM (n = 240), and control groups (n = 60). Based on the MTT assay results, 10(-4), 10(-5), 10(-6), and 10(-7) M concentrations of both drugs were administered and the effects were evaluated for 6, 12, 24, 48, or 72 h periods. An indirect immunofluorescence technique was used to evaluate apoptotic (anti-caspase 3) and proliferation (anti-Ki67) indices. Toxicity of both PAM and ALN was found to be the most potent at 10(-4)-10(-5) M range. The apoptotic index of PAM group was found to be significantly higher than ALN group for all concentrations especially at 24 h incubation time (p < 0.05). The decrease in the proliferation index was found similar in first 48 h for both drugs; however, after 72 h of incubation decrease in proliferation index in PAM group was found to be significantly higher (p < 0.05). Micromolar concentrations of not only PAM but also ALN rapidly affect cells generated from human oral gingival tissue by inducing apoptosis together with inhibition of proliferation. Cytotoxic effects of both ALN and PAM on primary human gingival fibroblasts, which cause significant changes in apoptotic and proliferative indices as shown in this in vitro study, suggests that the defective epithelialization of oral mucosa is possibly a major factor on the onset of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the biomechanical qualities of the perichondrium and cartilage, and to determine the strength of the septal cartilage against bending forces. STUDY DESIGN This paper describes an experimental cadaver study. MATERIALS AND METHODS The nasal septal cartilages of 14 fresh cadavers (8 hours postmortem) were excised from the cadavers and cut into two strips: one with the perichondrium (group A) and one without perichondrium (group B). A bending test was then performed on the strips. RESULTS The deflection of group A strips was larger than the deflection of group B strips. Flexural strength was also larger in group A strips compared to group B strips. The average modulus of elasticity was 122% higher in group A compared to group B. All conducted tests revealed statistically significant differences between groups. CONCLUSION This study objectively shows that the perichondrium provides the cartilage with a 25% bending strength.

Abstract
Fire blight, caused by Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winslow et al., affects plants in the Rosaceae family, which includes trees and shrubs in orchards, nurseries, and landscape plantations. During the springs and summers of 2008 and 2010, dying branches, necrotic leaves attached to shoots, and blighted twigs of meadowsweet (Spirea prunifolia) were observed at three different locations of landscape areas in Konya Province, Turkey. Disease incidence was approximately 1% on the plants during the surveys. Initial symptoms of reddish to brownish streaks on the shoots of infected plants were observed in spring. Nine representative bacterial strains were isolated from the lesions on shoots of seven meadowsweet plants on nutrient sucrose agar (NSA) medium and identified as E. amylovora on basis of biochemical, physiological (2,3) and molecular tests (1). Bacteria were gram-negative, rod shaped, aerobic, fermentative, yellow-orange on Miller and Scroth medium (2), positive for levan formation and acetoin production, did not grow at 36°C, positive for gelatin hydrolysis, and negative for esculin hydrolysis, indole, urease, catalase, oxidase, arginine dehydrolase, reduction of nitrate, acid production from lactose, and inositol. All strains were hypersensitive response-positive on tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum var. White Burley) plants. All strains were identified as E. amylovora using the species-specific primers set, A/B (1), by PCR assay, and by fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiles determined by Sherlock Microbial Identification System software (TSBA 6 v. 6.00; Microbial ID, Newark, DE) with similarity indices ranging from of 79 to 99%. Pathogenicity was tested by injecting of petioles and actively growing three shoot tips of 2-year-old S. prunifolia seedlings cv. number 29 using a 0.46 mm-diameter hypodermic needle with bacterial suspensions containing 108 CFU mL-1 in sterile distilled water (SDW) Plants were inoculated with each of the nine bacterial strains and two references strains, Ea29 and NCPPB 2791 (Selcuk University, Department of Plant Protection, Konya, Turkey). Symptoms resembling those associated with natural infection appeared on the inoculated plants 7 days after inoculation. Plants inoculated with SDW served as a negative control treatment, and no symptoms were observed on these plants. All tests were repeated three times with the same results. Bacterial re-isolations were attempted from the control plants as well as shoots and leaves inoculated with the two reference strains and the nine bacteria identified as E. amylovora. Bacteria isolated from inoculated plants were identified as E. amylovora using the biochemical, physiological, and molecular tests described above, but this bacterium was not isolated from the control plants. Phytosanitary measures must be taken to avoid spread of the pathogen to ornamentals in new landscape areas in Turkey. This report is important because infected Spirea spp. can be a potential inoculum source for other rosaceous ornamentals. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the occurrence of fire blight on meadowsweet in Turkey. References: (1) S. Bereswill et al. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 58:3522, 1992. (2) A. L.

Abstract
During the summers of 2008 and 2010, leaf and shoot blight, wilting of the tips of young infected shoots, and cankers with brown discoloration on twigs were observed on six dog rosehip (Rosa canina) plants from four different private orchards in Eregli district of Konya Province, Turkey. Disease incidence was estimated to be approximately 0.5% on rosehips over 2 years within all survey areas, and surveys showed that ~4 ha was infested. Bacteria isolated from diseased leaf and shoot tissues was macerated and streaked on nutrient sucrose agar (NSA) and King's medium B (KB). Typical light cream, levan-positive colonies developed on NSA medium after a 2-day incubation at 25°C. Colonies on KB were white and non-fluorescent (1). Bacterial strains were identified on the basis of biochemical, physiological (2), and molecular tests (3). Eleven representative bacterial strains isolated were gram-negative, rod-shaped, mucoid, fermentative, yellow-orange on Miller & Scroth medium, positive for levan formation and acetoin production, no growth at 36°C, positive for gelatin hydrolysis, and negative for esculin hydrolysis, indole, urease, catalase, oxidase, arginine dehydrolase, reduction of nitrate, and acid production from lactose and inositol. Two reference strains of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winslow et al. (Ea43b and NCPPB 2791) obtained from culture collection of Selcuk University, Department of Plant Protection, Turkey, were used as positive controls. All strains induced a hypersensitive response in tobacco (Nicotiana tabaccum cv. White Burley) plants within 24 h after inoculation with a 108 CFU/ml bacterial suspension in sterilized distilled water (SDW) (~50 μl), and the strains produced ooze on inoculated immature pear fruit slices cv. Ankara. All strains were identified as E. amylovora using the species-specific primers set A/B (A: 5' CGGTTTTTAACGCTGGG 3' and B: 5' GGGCAAATACTCGGATT 3') (3) by PCR assay to generate a 1-kb DNA fragment, and fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiles determined by Sherlock Microbial Identification System software with similarity indices ranging from 84 to 97%. Pathogenicity was tested by inserting a suspension (108 CFU/ml SDW) of each of the 11 bacterial strains and two references strains into actively growing shoot tips and petioles of 4-year-old plants of Rosa canina using a 0.46-mm-diameter hypodermic needle. Leaf and shoot blight symptoms resembling the natural infection were developed on the inoculated plants 7 to 10 days after inoculation. SDW was injected similarly as a negative control treatment, and no symptoms were observed on the control plants. All tests were repeated three times. Re-isolations were done from shoots and leaves of inoculated plants with the two reference strains and the 11 bacteria, and control plants. Obtaining bacteria were identified as E. amylovora using the biochemical, physiological, and molecular tests described above, but this bacterium was not isolated from the control plants. To our knowledge, this is the first report of E. amylovora on rosehip in Turkey. References: (1) R. A. Lelliott and D. E. Stead.

Abstract
During 2008 and 2009, a new disease on blackberry (Rubus fruticosus cv. Chester) causing leaf and shoot blight and cankers with brown discoloration of necrotic tissues on mature branches was observed in Isparta and Konya provinces of Turkey. Disease incidence was estimated to be 4% for the two years. Isolations were made from lesions on leaves and shoots on nutrient sucrose agar (NSA) medium. Bacteria consistently isolated from the diseased tissues were identified on the basis of biochemical, physiological (2), and molecular tests (1). Eleven representative bacterial strains were gram-negative, rod-shaped, mucoid, fermentative, yellow-orange on Miller and Scroth (MS) medium, positive for levan formation and acetoin production, no growth at 36°C, positive for gelatin hydrolysis, and negative for esculin hydrolysis, indole, urease, catalase, oxidase, arginine dehydrolase, reduction of nitrate, acid production from lactose, and inositol. Two reference strains of Erwinia amylovora (EaP28 and NCPPB 2791) obtained from the culture collection unit of Selcuk University were used as positive controls. All strains induced a hypersensitive response in tobacco (Nicotiana tobaccum cv White Burley) 24 h after inoculation with a 108 CFU/ml bacterial suspension in water. All strains were identified as E. amylovora using the species-specific primers set A/B (1), which amplified a 1-kb DNA fragment in PCR, and fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiles determined by Sherlock Microbial Identification System software (TSBA 6 v. 6.00; Microbial ID, Newark, DE) with similarity indices ranging from of 79 to 99%. Pathogenicity was confirmed by injecting bacterial suspensions (108 CFU/ml-1) in sterile distilled water into the shoot tips of 2-year-old R. fruticosus cv. Chester and the first blighting symptoms were observed on leaves within 3 days and also 10 days later after inoculation on shoots. Sterile distilled water was used as a negative control. No symptoms were observed on control plants. All tests were repeated three times. The bacterium was reisolated from inoculated plants and identified as. E. amylovora. To our knowledge, this is the first report of E. amylovora on blackberry in Turkey. Phytosanitary measures are needed to prevent any further spread of the bacterium to new blackberry areas.

Abstract
PURPOSE Shoulder arthroplasties are increasingly performed, but data on periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) in this anatomical position are limited. We retrospectively investigated the characteristics and outcome of shoulder PJI after primary arthroplasty from 1998 to 2010 in a single centre. METHODS Periprosthetic joint infection was defined as periprosthetic purulence, presence of sinus tract or microbial growth. A Kaplan-Meier survival method was used to estimate relapse-free survival of prosthesis. RESULTS From 1,571 primary shoulder prostheses, we evaluated 16 patients with a PJI at different stages, i.e, early (n = 4), delayed (n = 6) and late (n = 6) infections. The median patient age was 67 (range 53-86) years, and 69 % were females. The most commonly isolated microorganism was Propionibacterium acnes in 38 % of patients (monobacterial in four and polymicrobial in two patients). In 14 of the 16 patients, surgical interventions consisting of debridement and implant retention (6 patients), exchange (7) and explantation (1) were performed. Four patients had a relapse of infection with P. acnes (n = 3) or Bacteroides fragilis (n = 1). The relapse-free survival of the prosthesis was 75 % (95 % confidence interval 46-90 %) after 1 and 2 years, 100 % in six patients following the treatment algorithm for hip and knee PJI and 60 % in 10 patients not followed up. All but one of the relapses were previously treated without exchange of the prosthesis. CONCLUSIONS As recommended for hip and knee PJI, we suggest treating shoulder PJI with a low-grade infection by microorganisms such as P. acnes with an exchange of the prosthesis. Cohort studies are needed to verify our results.

Abstract
In the late summer and early winter of 2008 and 2009, leaf and shoot blight and cankers with reddish and brownish necrotic tissue on mature branches of Cotoneaster horizontalis were investigated in landscape areas of Konya province in Turkey. Disease incidence was estimated at 2%. Bacteria were consistently isolated from the lesions on leaves and shoots on nutrient sucrose agar medium. Twelve representative bacterial strains were isolated and characterized as gram-negative, rod-shaped, mucoid, fermentative, yellow-orange on MS medium, positive for levan formation and acetoin production, no growth at 36°C, positive for gelatin hydrolysis, and negative for indole, urease, oxidase, arginine dehydrolase, reduction of nitrate, and acid production from lactose and inositol (2). Two reference strains of Erwinia amylovora (EaP28 and NCPPB 2791) obtained from the culture collection unit of Selcuk University were used as positive controls. All strains induced a hypersensitive response in tobacco (Nicotiana tobaccum cv. White Burley). All strains were identified as E. amylovora on the basis of amplification of a 1 kb DNA fragment with a species-specific primer set, A/B (1) by PCR, and fatty acid methyl ester profiles determined by Sherlock Microbial Identification System software (TSBA 6 v. 6.00; Microbial ID, Newark, DE) with similarity indices ranging from of 83 to 96%. Pathogenicity tests were performed by injecting 20 μl of a bacterial suspension (108 CFU ml-1) into the shoot tips of 3-year-old C. horizontalis seedlings. Leaf and shoot blighting symptoms were observed within 10 to 15 days, but no symptoms were observed on control plants treated with sterile water. The bacterium was reisolated from the lesions on leaves and shoots and identified as described above. To our knowledge, this is the first report of E. amylovora on cotoneaster in Turkey. Control measures are needed to prevent any further spread of the bacterium to new landscape areas. References: (1) S. Bereswill et al. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 58:3522, 1992. (2) A. L. Jones and K.

Abstract
Mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis is a rare disease in adults. Dysphagia as the accompanying symptom is even a rarer manifestation. Cases with esophageal symptoms may present as esophageal ulceration, mucosal or submucosal mass, fistula or sinus formation, extrinsic compression or displacement of the esophagus. Extrinsic compression may radiologically or endoscopically present as a submucosal tumor. Our case is a 30-year-old woman with dysphagia for a month. Extrinsic compression was seen endoscopically on the mid-esophagus. On thoracic CT and MRI images, a multiloculated cystic/necrotic mass 5.5×4.8×3.1 cm in size consisting of multiple septa was located subcarinally in the middle mediastinum. In Wang needle aspiration, a mucopurulaent liquid was aspirated from the subcarinal localization by bronchoscopy. Diagnostic thoracotomy was carried out because histological and bacteriological examinations were not diagnostic. It was reported as tuberculous lymphadenitis pathologically. The control thoracic CT performed after antituberculous treatment showed complete regression of the mass. We herein report a rare form of tuberculous lymphadenitis.

Abstract
Evaluating the performance of well child clinics on adherence to recommended perinatal hepatitis B prevention programmes as well as assessing the outcome of infants living with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive parents is important. A retrospective study was performed of 336 babies who had at least one HBsAg-positive parent and were followed-up in the well child clinic of Gazi University Hospital (Ankara, Turkey) between 2001 and 2009. Rates of passive immunisation in 109 babies with HBsAg-positive mothers and initiation of hepatitis B vaccination of all 336 babies with HBsAg-positive parents were 98.8% and 100% respectively. Ninety-two babies (27.4%) were lost to follow-up before completing primary immunisation. The recommended perinatal hepatitis B prevention programme was performed successfully in 194 of the 306 infants who were old enough for post-vaccination serotesting (63.4%). One baby became HBsAg-positive, and 88.1% of babies were seroprotected. Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) levels were found to be increased if the HBsAg-positive parent was the father. There was a negative correlation between serotesting time and anti-HBs titres. The study infants had a total of 187 siblings and 123 (65.8%) were serotested after completing primary immunisation with 108 found to be seropositive. Although the vaccination rate in the perinatal hepatitis B prevention programme is satisfactory, post-vaccination serotesting and evaluation of infants and their siblings are still deficient.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the cytotoxicity of five root canal sealers on L929 mouse fibroblasts and primary human dental pulp cells. METHODOLOGY Cylindrical specimens of AH Plus (Dentsply De Trey GmbH, Konstanz, Germany), RoekoSeal (Coltène Whaledent, Langenau, Germany), EndoREZ (Ultradent Products Inc., South Jordan, UT, USA), Epiphany (Pentron Clinical Technologies, LLCC, Wallingford, CT, USA) and Activ GP (Brasseller Inc., USA, Savannah, GA, USA) were kept at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO(2) for thrice the length of the setting time given by the manufacturer. Extraction of specimens was performed after setting in cell growth medium for 1, 4 and 7 days. Undiluted, 50% and 25% diluted eluates were incubated with cultured cells for 24 and 72 h. Cytotoxicity was assessed using MTS colorimetric bioassay. Kruskal-Wallis test and post hoc Dunn's multiple comparison test were used to compare the sealers and diluted/undiluted eluates in terms of cell viability (% of control). Friedman test and post hoc Dunn's multiple comparison test were performed to compare extraction periods. Wilcoxon test was utilized in comparing 24- and 72-h readings. RESULTS Undiluted 1-day eluate of Activ GP was significantly more cytotoxic than all other sealers (P < 0.0001). Undiluted 4- and 7-day eluates of Epiphany and Activ GP were significantly more cytotoxic than the other three sealers (P < 0.0001). Diluted eluates of Activ GP and Epiphany were generally less toxic than the undiluted ones. The cytotoxicity of Epiphany significantly increased as the extraction period increased (P < 0.0001). Epiphany became more toxic with time of exposure to cells. No or minimal cytotoxicity was observed with RoekoSeal, AH Plus and EndoREZ. CONCLUSIONS The sealers exhibited varying degrees of cytotoxicity dependent on their chemical composition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The percentiles of weight, height and body mass index (BMI) change markedly from one country to another and also from one city to another, particularly in childhood. The aim of the present study is to construct BMI percentile curves for predominantly breastfed Turkish children aged 0-2 years from Ankara, Turkey. METHODS The study population consisted of healthy boys and girls aged 0-2 years from the middle-high socioeconomic status between 2002 and 2004 in well child clinic of Gazi University School of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey. The BMI values for boys and girls were calculated from the height and weight measurements, and BMI percentile values and curves were obtained separately for boys and girls by the LMS method. RESULTS The current findings indicate that the BMI percentile values for boys are higher than those for girls in general. The estimated curves for BMI showed that there was a constant increase in BMI values towards 7th or 8th month and a slight decrease until 24th month in both boys and girls. CONCLUSIONS The current study presents percentile curves for BMI values in predominantly breastfed Turkish children aged 0 to 2 years living in Ankara, Turkey. To our knowledge, this is the first study considering BMI percentiles for predominantly breastfed Turkish children aged 0-2 years. However, WHO multicenter growth reference study curves can be used until constructing multicenter BMI reference curves representing Turkey (Fig. 2, Tab. 3, Ref. 19).

Abstract
In recent years, a stolbur-like disease has had devastating effects on the yield and marketable quality of potato production in Erzurum (Eastern Anatolia) and Akcakale-Sanliurfa (Southern Anatolia) regions of Turkey. Potato plants exhibited several different symptoms including stunting, upward rolling of the top leaves along with reddish or purplish coloration, chlorosis, shortened internodes, swollen nodes, proliferated axillary buds, aerial tubers, and early plant decline. An extensive survey from 2003 to 2010 was performed and diseased plant samples were collected. Total genomic DNAs were isolated from the leaf mid-veins of the six different symptomatic and two symptomless plants selected. Nested-PCRs, carried out by using phytoplasma-universal primer pair P1/P7 followed by R16F2n/R16R2 (2), amplified 16S rDNA fragments (F2nR2) from only templates derived from symptomatic plants. F2nR2 PCR products from two independent symptomatic plants were cloned and sequenced from both directions with M13 universal primers. The obtained 16S rDNA sequence (GenBank Accession No HM485579) was subjected to virtual restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis using iphyclassifier software (3). Results indicated that the phytoplasma, here identified in association with potato plants, shared best sequence identity (99%) with members of subgroup 16SrXII-A (e.g., GenBank Accession No. EU010006). Moreover, collective RFLP pattern of potato-associated phytoplasma differed from digestion profiles of previously described 16SrXII subgroups, sharing best similarity coefficient (0.94) with the reference phytoplasma strain of subgroup 16SrXII-A (GenBank Accession No. AJ964960). Thus, it was confirmed that potato-associated phytoplasma represents a new 16SrXII subgroup (16SrXII-N). Furthermore, a new primer set (PatsecF/PatsecR) was designed for priming specific PCR-amplification of potato-associated phytoplasma 16S rDNA sequence. PCR reaction was successfully used for specifically detecting stolbur phytoplasma in infected potato plants. The use of this method may help to determine possible alternative hosts and vectors of potato phytoplasma, which is important for development of an integrated management strategy for effective control of this disease in the future. Presence of potato stolbur diseases in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey has previously been reported (1). To our knowledge, this is the first report of occurrence of a 16SrXII group phytoplasma causing potato stolbur diseases caused in the Eastern and Southern Anatolia regions of Turkey.

Abstract
Cavernous malformations can occur in both sporadic and autosomal dominant forms. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphisms of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene in the development of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM). Forty-one members of two families affected by familial CCM were included in this study. DNA was isolated from peripheral venous blood, and polymerase chain reaction analysis was used to detect I/D polymorphisms of the ACE gene, using HACE3s and HACE3as as primers. Only 10 participants had MRI-confirmed CCM. Of these 10 subjects, seven had the I/D, two had the D/D, and one had the I/I genotype. Of the remaining 31 subjects, 14 had the I/I, 13 had the I/D, and four had the D/D genotype. There was a greater proportion of subjects with the D allele among those with MRI-confirmed CCM than among those without (p<0.05). These results suggest that the D polymorphism of the ACE gene may be involved in the pathogenesis of familial CCM.

Abstract
Lymphangiomas, or cystic hygromas, are relatively uncommon congenital malformations of the lymphatic system that usually present during the first years of childhood. They are rare in adults. A search of the literature on MedLine revealed only few reports about lymphangioma as a cause of difficult airway management after the neonatal period. Herein, we present a case of difficult intubation due to protruding macroglossia in a 5-year-old girl diagnosed with recurrent lesions of lymphangioma. We also discuss possible problems in airway protection, drug choice, and post-operative follow-up associated with surgical excision of these lesions.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study was to develop a Turkish version of ECOS 16 Questionnaire and assess its reliability and validity. METHODS Sixty four women with postmenopausal osteoporosis were included in the study. It was mandatory for all patients to be Turkish literate and without symptoms of dementia. Patients who were diagnosed as secondary osteoporosis by clinical and laboratory examinations were excluded from the study. After translation process, the Turkish version of the scale was applied to each participant twice with an interval of 2 weeks. For reliability study, internal consistency (Chronbach alpha) of ECOS 16 total score and test-retest intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated. Validation study was assessed by correlating the scale with QUALEFFO 41. RESULTS The mean age at menopause and age of patients were 45.61+/-6.04 years and 59.91+/-8.69 years respectively. Chronbach alpha of the Turkish version of the ECOS 16 was 0.90. The test-retest reliability (ICC) of the Turkish version of the ECOS 16 was determined as 0.83 for the total score, and ranged between 0.72-0.88 for individual items. In terms of validity; the Turkish version of ECOS 16 correlated significantly with QUALEFFO 41 (r=0.844 P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS . The Turkish version of the ECOS 16 is a reliable and valid questionnaire to be used in the evaluation of Turkish women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
