Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obese people are at increased risk of arrhythmia and sudden death, even in the absence of heart dysfunction. Increased insulin resistance, neurohumoral and autonomic changes in obesity can cause atrial and ventricular repolarization abnormalities. This study aimed to investigate the effect on ventricular repolarization parameters and to show the increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia in obese children. PATIENTS AND METHODS The data of 50 obese children aged 2-18 who applied to the Pediatric Endocrinology Outpatient Clinic were evaluated prospectively. In 12-lead ECGs, heart rate, Pmax, Pmin, P-wave dispersion (Pwdisp), QTmax, QTmin, QT dispersion (QTd), QTcmax, QTcmin, QTc interval dispersion (QTcd), Tpeak-Tend interval (Tp-e), Tp-e/QT, Tp-e/QTc were calculated electronically. RESULTS Tp-e time (0.041 ± 0.004/0.049 ± 0.015/p=0.018) and Tp parameters were measured in obese children with and without insulin resistance. Tp-e/QT ratio was also found to be high (p=0.035). There is a negative correlation between BMI SDS values and QTcmax and QTcmin values in patients with insulin resistance (p=0.015). CONCLUSIONS In our study, the Tp-e interval and Tp-e/QT ratios, which had been revealed in literature to be more sensitive in demonstrating ventricular arrhythmias, were found to be higher in obese individuals with insulin resistance than in those without insulin resistance. Obese individuals with or without insulin resistance should be carefully evaluated in terms of atrial and ventricular depolarization and repolarization parameters with 12-lead ECG during their outpatient controls, and annual 24-hour Holter control should be performed to detect arrhythmias.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Transcatheter closure of medium and large ventricular septal defects (VSDs) in young children is limited due to the use of over-sized devices that can cause hemodynamic instability and arrhythmia. In this study, we aimed to retrospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of the device in the mid-term in children weighing less than 10 kg whose transcatheter VSD was closed only with the Konar-MFO device. PATIENTS AND METHODS Among 70 children whose transcatheter VSD was closed between January 2018 and January 2023, 23 patients weighing less than 10 kg were included in the study. Retrospectively, the medical records of all patients were reviewed. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 7.3 (4.5-26) months. 17 of the patients were females, 6 of them were males, F/M: 2.83. The average weight was 6.1 (3.7-9.9) kg. The mean the pulmonary blood flow/ systemic blood flow (Qp/Qs) was 3.3 (1.7-5.5). The mean defect diameter was 7.8 mm (5.7-11) for the left ventricle (LV) side, and 5.7 mm (3-9.3) for the right ventricle (RV) side. Based on the utilized device dimensions, the measurements on the LV side were recorded as 8.6 mm (range 6-12), while those on the RV side were recorded as 6.6 mm (range 4-10). Antegrade technique was applied to 15 (65.2%) patients and retrograde technique was applied to 8 (34.8%) patients in the closure procedure. The procedure success rate was 100%. The incidence of death, device embolization, hemolysis, or infective endocarditis was zero. CONCLUSIONS Perimembranous and muscular VSDs in children under 10 kg can be successfully closed under the management of an experienced operator with the Lifetech Konar-MFO device. This is the first study in the literature to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the device in children under 10 kg in whom only Konar-MFO VSD occluder device is used for transcatheter VSD closure.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Is there any difference in this technique(swim-in) according to clinical results in ICSI cycles?
Summary answer
Fertilization rates are significantly better with this new technique(swim-in). There is no difference in pregnancy and ongoing pregnancy rates between swim-in and DGS techniques.
What is known already
Sperm separation is crucial in assisted reproductive technologies, based on different principles like migration, filtration, or density gradient centrifugation techniques. However, there are some studies that centrifugation steps and using gradient solutions may increase sperm DNA fragmentation. On the other hand, multiple contacts to different plastic surfaces such as pipettes, plastic tubes, etc., and also pipetting the ejaculate in sperm preparation may have detrimental effects. The ideal sperm separation technique should be non-invasive, not time-consuming, easy, and cost-effective, not cause sperm damage or non-physiological alterations of the separated sperm cells, eliminate dead spermatozoa and other cells, including leukocytes.
Study design, size, duration
This is a prospective randomized study between 01/02/2019...01/01/2021. Sperms were prepared either with this new technique that we call “swim-in”(n = 359) or with density gradient centrifugation(n = 404) before microinjection (ICSI). Fertilization rates, clinical pregnancy rates, and on-going pregnancy rates were compared between groups. Sperm motility is less than%20 patients are not included in the study. t-test and Chi-square test used. p < 0.05 significant.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
For this new centrifugation free technique(swim-in), a Braun injector, 21G green needle, and sperm washing medium are used. First, we pulled a 0.5 ml sperm wash medium in a Braun injector. After sperm liquefaction, we put Braun injector with the needle in the sperm cap perpendicularly and waited 30 minutes at 37-degree Celcius. Sperms swam through the needle to the injector used for ICSI. For DGC sperms were prepared according to the 2015 WHO manual. Main results and the role of chance: We try to make a centrifugation-free, gentle, cost-effective, and easy sperm preparation technique and called it a swim-in technique. Groups were comparable according to mean age, collected oocyte numbers, and oocyte maturation ratios. Fertilization rates are%73,2(1786/2438) vs%66,9(2167/3237) respectively for swim-in and DGC groups. Clinical pregnancy rates are%45,1 vs%42,3 respectively for swim-in and DGC groups. On-going pregnancy rates are%41,5 vs%39,6 for swim-in and DGC respectively. There is a significant difference between the two techniques according to fertilization rates but no difference according to clinical pregnancy and ongoing pregnancy rates.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Sperms can move by their own motility from ejaculate to the sperm washing medium for that reason with severe sperm problem patients are not suitable for this technique.
Wider implications of the findings: This technique is centrifugation free so there are no detrimental g-forces. The needle used may mimic the physiological environment like Uterine Tube. Alternative sperm washing mediums like follicular fluid or chemical attractor progesterone rich medium can be used.DNA fragmentation rates and live birth rates should be established for future aspect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to evaluate the protective effect of dexmedetomidine on nephrotoxicity and the mechanism of renoprotection following vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. METHODS Thirty-two albino Wistar rats were divided into four groups. The control group received intraperitoneal (IP) physiological saline solution, the vancomycin (VMC) group received IP 200 mg/kg vancomycin, the dexmedetomidine (DEX) group received IP 5 µg/kg dexmedetomidine, and the vancomycin and dexmedetomidine (VMC+DEX) group received IP 200 mg/kg vancomycin followed by IP 5 µg/kg dexmedetomidine 20 min after the vancomycin injection. On the 8th day of the experiment, histopathological and biochemical parameters were assessed. RESULTS Creatinine levels were significantly higher in VMC and VMC+DEX groups. The endothelin-1 level was significantly higher in VMC group. Nitric oxide levels were statistically lower in VMC and VMC+DEX groups. Histopathologic assessments revealed that the extent of renal damage was significantly higher in group VMC (n = 4 with damage of Grade 3) compared to group VMC+DEX (n = 0 with damage of Grade 3). CONCLUSION It was determined that dexmedetomidine can reduce the extent of renal damage by preventing the elevation of vasoconstrictor agents (Tab. 2, Fig. 1, Ref. 36).

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Although mortality rates decreased in recent years, pancreaticoduodenectomy is still associated with high morbidity rates. Pancreatic fistula is the leading cause of morbidity after pancreaticojejunal anastomosis and commonly occurs in soft pancreas. The objective of this study is to compare outcomes of conventional modified invaginated end to side pancreaticojejunostomy with a new practical method using V-Loc 'rM 180 wound closure device in soft pancreas. METHODOLOGY Between December 2011 and August 2013, a total of 90 pancreaticoduodenectomy procedures were performed in our hospital. 28 of them were defined as soft pancreas according to attending surgeon and included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups consecutively and analysed for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) rate, length of stay, operation time, cost and particular duration of anastomosis. Pancreatic fistulas were classified according to International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) definition. RESULTS 1 grade A and 2 grade B fistulas appeared in V-Loc group (Group 1), whereas 1 grade A, 2 grade B and 1 grade C fistulas appeared in conventional anastomosis group (Group 2). CONCLUSIONS Pancreaticojejunostomy with V-Loc suture is a convenient method in soft pancreas and can be performed safely.

Abstract
AIM To search whether calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are associated with lower hemoglobin levels in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who are not on renal replacement therapy (RRT), vitamin D and anti-anemic treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS CKD patients were classified into two groups. Patients on CCBs treatment (103 patients) and patients not using CCBs (104 patients) were compared cross-sectionally regarding clinical findings, complete blood count (CBC), biochemistry and regular medication use. Patients with polycystic kidney disease, comorbidities that could influence CBC other than iron deficiency of obscure origin, patients receiving RRT, erythropoietin (EPO), vitamin D, phosphate binders and drugs that could influence CBC were excluded. Under dependent variable of CCB use, all significantly different independent variables were subjected to multivariate binary logistic regression analysis (MBLRA). RESULTS Lower hemoglobin, lower bilirubinemia, higher serum EPO, higher systolic blood pressure were observed in CCB users. Two groups were similar concerning age, gender, BMI, CKD etiology, CKD stage, pretibial edema prevalence, cardiothoracic index, diastolic blood pressure, corrected reticulocyte count, BUN, creatinine, eGFR, proBNP, parathormone, alkaline phosphatase, phosphorous, corrected calcemia, sCRP, relative EPO deficiency and prevalence of relative EPO deficient patients. Groups were comparable regarding comorbidities, types and usage frequencies of all antihypertensive medications other than CCBs. Higher systolic blood pressure and lower hemoglobin were significantly associated with CCB use after MBLRA. CONCLUSIONS Hemoglobin was significantly lower in CCB users compared to non-users, among CKD patients who did not receive RRT, EPO, phosphate binders, vitamin D, iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid.

Abstract
Abstract
The main objective is to study the effects of spectral shifting in an inertial confinement system for kT/shot energy regime on the breeding performance for tritium and for high quality fissile fuel. A protective liquid droplet jet zone of 2 m thickness is used as coolant, energy carrier, and breeder. Flibe as the main constituent is mixed with increased mole-fractions of heavy metal salt (ThF4 or UF4) starting by 2 moles% up to 12 moles%. Spectrum softening within the inertial confinement system reduces the tritium production ratio (TBR) in the protective coolant to a lower level than unity. However, additional tritium production in the 6Li2DT zone of the system increases TBR to values above unity and allows a continuous operation of the power plant with a self-sustained fusion fuel supply. By modest fusion fuel burn efficiencies (40 to 60 %) and with a few mol.% of heavy metal salt in the coolant in form of ThF4 or % UF4, a satisfactory TBR of > 1.05 can be realized. In addition to that, excess fissile fuel of extremely high isotopic purity with a rate of ∼ 1000 kg/year of 233U or 239Pu can be produced. Radiation damage through atomic displacements and helium gas production after a plant operation period of 30 years is very low, namely dpa < 1 and He < 2 ppm, respectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study retrospectively compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with bilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip who underwent either a single-stage operation (using a Salter innominate osteotomy for one hip and a Pemberton pericapsular osteotomy for the other hip) or a two-stage procedure comprising consecutive operations. METHODS Extensive pre- and postoperative clinical, surgical and radiological examinations were undertaken. RESULTS A total of 63 patients received the single-stage operation (group A), and 55 patients received consecutive operations (group B). There were no significant between-group differences in acetabular index or centre-edge angle correction. Group A had significantly reduced anaesthetic exposure, duration of hospitalization, blood transfusion volume, antibiotic costs and hospitalization costs. Group A also had a lower rate of surgical complications and avascular necrosis than group B. CONCLUSIONS The single-stage surgical procedure was more economical and allowed more rapid recovery than two consecutive operations. The surgical and anaesthesia team must be highly proficient in order to perform single-stage operations successfully.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prostacyclin (PGI2) has been shown to inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic mediators in pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, we aimed to test the preventive effects of intraperitoneally administered iloprost, a stable PGI2 analog, on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats and to compare the effects of iloprost with the effects of methyl-prednisolone, a traditional therapy. METHODS Rats were randomly allocated into four groups: 1. Saline alone (n=6); 2. Bleomycin+placebo (n=7); 3. Bleomycin+methyl-prednisolone (n=7); 4. Bleomycin+iloprost (n=7). Fibrotic changes in the lungs were demonstrated by analyzing the cellular composition of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, histological evaluation and lung hydroxyproline content. RESULTS Fibrosis was made in the lungs of rats by bleomycin experimentally. Fibrosis scores in the methyl-prednisolone and the iloprost groups were significantly lower than in the placebo group (p<0.05). Furthermore, the score of the iloprost group was significantly lower than the score of the methyl-prednisolone group. The hydroxyproline content was significantly less in the methyl-prednisolone and the iloprost groups (p<0.05). In the placebo group, the neutrophil percentage in bronchoalveolar lavage was significantly higher than in the other groups, whereas the macrophage percentage in placebo group was significantly lower (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Iloprost has protective effect on the pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin and it may be more effective in decreasing fibrotic changes than methyl-prednisolone.

Abstract
Insular carcinoma of thyroid is a rare tumor, which accounts for 4 to 6% of thyroid malignancies. Clinically and morphologically it is considered to be in an intermediate position between well-differentiated carcinoma of the thyroid (papillary or follicular) and undifferentiated or anaplastic carcinoma of the thyroid. Capsular and blood vessel invasion is seen frequently, and metastases to regional lymph nodes, lungs and bones are common. The initial presentation of distant metastasis in patients with thyroid cancer is rare. Thus metastatic thyroid carcinoma rarely involves the orbit. We report a rare case of choroidal metastasis from insular thyroid carcinoma.

Abstract
Four cats were presented with respiratory signs and first-stage larvae of Aelurostrongylus abstrusus were found in faecal samples. Anthelmintic treatment was given to the infected cats and venous blood gases were analysed during the treatment period. Blood gas analysis suggested hypoventilation and respiratory acidosis in infected cats. Hypoventilation may be the result of airway obstruction by adults and larvae in respiratory bronchioles and the alveolar canals. The blood gas values had returned close to the physiological range by two months after treatment. Assessment of respiratory acidosis may aid development of additional treatment methods in cats infected with A. abstrusus.

Abstract
Malignant mesothelioma is a rare tumor. The most common localization of mesothelioma is pleura. It rarely arises from the peritoneum. It has been suggested that familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) may cause the development of peritoneal mesothelioma. We describe a case of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in a hemodialysis patient with FMF. The patient was a 56 year old female. A history of FMF was present since her childhood. She did not use colchicine and suffered from recurrent ascites. To the best of our knowledge, this is the seventh case of FMF diagnosed as having malignant peritoneal mesothelioma in the medical literature.

Abstract
The histogenetic origin of salivary gland tumours is not clear. In normal tissues smooth muscle actin (SMA) is expressed in myoepithelial cells, CK14 immunoreactivity is seen in myoepithelial and basal cells and CK10 in keratinized squamous epithelium. In this study, we examine the immunophenotypic properties of salivary gland tumours in order to obtain further insight into their histogenesis. 30 cases of salivary gland tumours (18 pleomorphic adenomas, 8 Warthin's tumours, 2 basal cell adenomas, 2 acinic cell carcinomas) were included in our study. Cytokeratin (CK) 10, CKI4, CKI7, CK18, CK 19, and smooth muscle actin (SMA) immunostains were applied to the sections. Immunoreactivities were detected and the statistical significance was evaluated by chi square test. SMA was not detected in Warthin's tumour (p < 0.0001). CK14 was found in all tumours except acinic cell carcinomas (p < 0.0001). CK10 immunoreactivity was observed in 5 Warthin's tumour. In conclusion, pleomorphic adenomas and basal cells adenomas originate from stem cells. Immunophenotypic profile of Warthin's tumour is suggestive of an embryological remnant origin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effects of desflurane and sevoflurane on oxytocin-induced contractions of isolated human myometrium. METHODS Following delivery of the infant and placenta, a small segment of myometrium was excised from the upper incisional surface of the lower uterine segment and 20 strips, randomly assigned into two groups (n = 10), were obtained from 20 non-laboring term parturients. The study protocol consisted of a 60-min period of spontaneous contractions, control recording with oxytocin 2 x 10(9) m (10-min period), washout interval of 10 min, volatile administration (three times per 15-min period) of 0.5, 1 and 2 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC), response to oxytocin (10-min period), a further washout interval (10-min period) and subsequent control recording with oxytocin without anesthetics. RESULTS After oxytocin administration, the frequency and amplitude of contractions increased (P < 0.05) and the duration decreased (P < 0.05). The frequency and amplitude of contractions induced with oxytocin decreased significantly at 0.5, 1 and 2 MAC of desflurane and sevoflurane (P < 0.05). The amplitude of contractions was significantly different at 1 MAC between the two groups (P < 0.05). The duration of contractions at 2 MAC decreased in both groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Desflurane and sevoflurane at 0.5, 1 and 2 MAC inhibit the frequency and amplitude of myometrial contractions induced with oxytocin in a dose-dependent manner. However, desflurane inhibits the amplitude less than sevoflurane at 1 MAC. We suggest that 0.5 MAC of both agents and 1 MAC of desflurane may be safely used in the presence of oxytocin following delivery of the infant and placenta during Cesarean section without fear of uterine atony and hemorrhage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the recovery properties of desflurane and sevoflurane in patients undergoing elective surgery, according to the gender differences. METHODS In the study, 160 ASA class I-II patients aged between 20 and 60 years were included. The patients were assigned into two groups according to their gender, and these groups were randomly divided into two groups according to a selected volatile anaesthetic agent. Intraoperative bispectral index, time of postoperative achievement for end-tidal concentrations of volatile agents to decline 50% (ET-AA%50), time for extubation, time for eye opening and orientation, and time for bispectral index values to reach control values were recorded. Aldrete scores and error points of a delayed memory recall test were determined. RESULTS Desflurane groups had a shorter ET-AA%50 time, extubation and eye-opening time in male and female patients compared to the sevoflurane groups, and these results were statistically significant (P < 0.05). In both the desflurane and sevoflurane groups, ET-AA%50 time, extubation and eye-opening time were shorter in male patients than in female patients, and these results were also statistically significant (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences among the groups in terms of Aldrete scores and error points of delayed memory recall test (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION In conclusion, early recovery time was shorter in male patients compared to female patients in both the desflurane and sevoflurane groups. Additionally, in the desflurane groups it was shorter in the sevoflurane groups for both genders.

Abstract
This report describes a case of massive cystic tetrathyridiosis in a four-year-old female dobermann. The larvae were distributed in both the peritoneal and pleural cavities, as well as in the lumen of the small intestine along with adult Mesocestoides species. These parasites were identified as tetrathyridia. Numerous cysts were dispersed on the peritoneal, pleural and mesenteric surfaces. The same cysts were seen both on subcapsular surfaces and within sections of the spleen, liver, kidneys and lungs. Histopathological examination also revealed characteristics of tetrathyridium of Mesocestoides species.

Abstract
This study was conducted in order to determine the prevalence and fertility of hydatid cysts in sheep in Kirikkale, Turkey. A total of 3.2% of 553 lambs and 50.9% of 1320 adults were found to be infected with hydatid cysts. The most common locations of cysts were in the liver and lung. Liver cysts tended to be more fertile than lung cysts (81.53% v. 76.47%), though the difference was not significant. The mean number of viable protoscoleces in the liver and lung cysts were 12,400 and 5,800, respectively. In general, 1-10 cysts were found in liver (51.8%) and lung (64.7%). The findings of this study indicate that hydatid cysts are common in sheep and the fertility rate of cysts is quite high. Sheep play an important role in the life cycle of Echinococcus granulosus in this region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We studied the inhibitory effects of desflurane and sevoflurane on oxytocin-induced contractions of isolated gravid rat myometrium. METHODS Twenty strips were obtained from rats and these were randomly assigned into two groups. The effects of desflurane and sevoflurane were evaluated by treating strips with oxytocin alone 2x10-9 M or with oxytocin after desflurane and sevoflurane at 0.5, 1, and 2 MAC. RESULTS Oxytocin significantly increased the amplitude and duration of contractions (P< 0.05), but it did not increase the frequency. The duration (84%, 79%), amplitude (90%, 84%) and frequency (88%, 75%) were inhibited at 2 MAC of desflurane and sevoflurane, respectively. CONCLUSION These results suggest that the in vitro application of desflurane and sevoflurane similarly inhibit oxytocin-induced myometrial contractions of gravid rat in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
Our purpose was to investigate the direct depressant effects of desflurane and sevoflurane at 0.5, 1 and 2 minimum alveolar concentrations (MAC) on spontaneous contractions of isolated gravid rat myometrium. Ten gravid, albino Wistar rats, weighing 240-310 g and at 19-20 days' gestation were used. Sixty myometrial strips were obtained from 10 rats, and randomly assigned into six groups of 10. After obtaining spontaneous myometrial contractions in de Jalon solution for 45 min, 0.5, 1 or 2 MAC of desflurane or sevoflurane were continuously bubbled in the bath for 15 min and myometrial contractions evaluated during the last 10 min. Desflurane 0.5 MAC did not affect duration or amplitude of spontaneous contractions, but frequency was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Duration, amplitude and frequency were all significantly decreased by desflurane 1 and 2 MAC (P < 0.05). Sevoflurane did not affect duration, amplitude or frequency at 0.5 MAC, but amplitude and frequency were significantly decreased at 1 MAC and all were significantly decreased at 2 MAC (P < 0.05). The frequency of contractions was decreased 21.2% with 1 MAC desflurane versus 17.1% with 1 MAC sevoflurane. The amplitude and frequency of contractions were decreased 48.2% and 48.7% with 2 MAC desflurane versus 58.9% and 49.3% with 2 MAC sevoflurane, respectively. We suggest that due to tocolytic activity, desflurane and sevoflurane can be useful in non-obstetric surgery during pregnancy.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to compare the clinical activity of remifentanil or alfentanil under propofol sedation with regard to respiratory rate, sedation and recovery rate when used for outpatient endometrial biopsy. Patients were randomized to receive intravenously either bolus remifentanil 0.4 microgram/kg and propofol 1 mg/kg in the remifentanil group (n = 30), or bolus alfentanil 20 micrograms/kg and propofol 1 mg/kg in the alfentanil group (n = 30). Patients were monitored for heart rate, systolic and diastolic arterial pressure, peripheral O2 saturation (SpO2), respiration rate, and Aldrete sedation score. Pulse oximetry was used to monitor heart rate and SpO2 during endometrial biopsy. Apnoea was observed in five patients from the remifentanil group, and in three patients from the alfentanil group. The groups did not differ with regard to apnoea incidences. Times were recorded for orientation and Aldrete score > 8, and were similar between the two groups (13.20 +/- 3.64 min and 14.0 +/- 3.87 min in the remifentanil group, 14.7 +/- 3.64 min and 15.9 +/- 3.15 min in the alfentanil group, respectively). The sedative and analgesic combination of remifentanil-propofol does not offer any advantages compared with a combination of alfentanil-propofol with regards to respiration and recovery during sedation for outpatient endometrial biopsy.

Abstract
A 23-year-old, male patient previously operated on four times for a recurring, benign, paranasal mass was admitted to our clinic with pain and swelling under the knee. Physical and radiological examination revealed a malignant process. The histopathological examination of the fine-needle biopsy specimen of the tibia was a malignant mixed tumor. Then. en-bloc resection, free fibular grafting, and fixation with blade plate was performed for one-third of the tibia, conserving the knee joint. Recurrences and metastasis were not observed after surgery and radiotherapy.

Abstract
We report on two girls with large epidermoid splenic cysts. They presented with abdominal pain, fever, and non-bilious vomiting. In both cases the cyst was diagnosed by means of computer tomography and ultrasonography. One of the patients was successfully treated with partial splenectomy. In the other case percutaneous drainage was initially carried out, but this treatment was insufficient. Splenectomy was then performed.

Abstract
Two rare cases of mesenteric fibromatosis are presented. The first patient had a right upper quadrant mass and colicky abdominal pain. The tumor originated from the mesentery of the colon and it infiltrated the gallbladder, cystic duct, and the liver. The second patient had severe hematemesis and melena. The origin of the tumor, which infiltrated 3/4 part of the stomach, the gastrohepatic ligament, the first part of the duodenum, and the liver could not be determined. In the first patient, partial colectomy and cholecystectomy were performed and the liver lesion was completely excised. The second patient underwent subtotal gastrectomy and left lobectomy of the liver. The first part of the duodenum was excised. Gastrojejunostomy was performed. No recurrence was recorded in either patients during 16 and 13 months follow-up, respectively. In this report, diagnostic aids, differential diagnosis and treatment of this rare disease are discussed.

Abstract
Cutaneous hemangiomas are the most common tumors of infants and children. Although they frequently resolve spontaneously, approximately 5% produce complications such as bleeding, infection, consumption coagulopathy and unesthetic appearance. Various methods of treatment are described for these complicated hemangiomas. We used a new type of treatment for complicated cutaneous hemangiomas as intralesional bleomycin (BLM) injection, for the first time in the literature. This agent produced extensive fibrosis and spontaneous resolution of hemangiomas. Fourteen patients with complicated hemangiomas (twelve capillary and two cavernous) have been treated with this method during a three-years period. Of these fourteen patients, five had bleeding, three had infection, one had ulceration, and five had unesthetic appearance and continued rapid growth. Lesions of three patients were completely excised after only one BLM injection. In the other eleven patients lesions regressed 60-100% during 6-14 months with two to three BLM injections. We believe that intralesional BLM injection is simple, and very useful for treatment of complicated cutaneous hemangiomas.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of unilateral testicular torsion on both testes, we studied 4 groups of adult male New Zealand rabbits using sham operation, torsion and detorsion after one or eight hours and permanent torsion. Bilateral orchiectomy was performed 9 weeks after the operation, and testicular weights, Johnsen scores, quantitative analyses, tubular diameters were calculated and histopathologic diagnosis was determined. Testicular weights, Johnsen scores, spermatid counts and tubular diameters were all decreased in torsioned testes depending on the duration of torsion. The contralateral testes showed no significant change in any of the study groups when compared with the control group.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia is a common clinical event and reperfusion results in further tissue damage exceeding that of ischemia alone. The present study was designed to test this and to assess the role of pentoxifylline, (administered intravenously as a bolus dose of 25 mg/kg in 1 ml normal saline, followed by continuous infusion of 0.2 mg/kg/minute for 95 minutes), in ischemia-reperfusion injury of the rat intestine. Intestinal ischemia was produced by occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) with interruption of the collateral flow for 30 minutes. Reperfusion was established by declamping the (SMA) for 1 hour and evaluation of the mucosal damage was determined using a grading scale from 0 to 5, with estimation of mean mucosal thickness, villous height and crypt depth. The grade of mucosal damage, mucosal thickness, villous height and crypt depth were 2.2, 407 microns, 210 microns, and 196 microns respectively in the ischemia group, and 3.6, 327 microns, 156 microns, and 171 microns respectively in the ischemia reperfusion group, while these values in ischemia reperfusion with administration of pentoxifylline group were 2.5, 505 microns, 294 microns, and 200 microns respectively. The severity of the tissue injury increased considerably after reperfusion of the ischemic intestine and pentoxifylline was effective in attenuating the reperfusion injury significantly.

Abstract
Carcinoma in the thyroglossal duct remnant is relatively uncommon. Since the first report by Uchermann (1915), more than 150 cases of carcinoma have been reported, and the majority have been papillary thyroid carcinomas (Li Volsi et al., 1974; McNicol et al., 1988). In this report, we present a case of papillary carcinoma in the thyroglossal duct with a normal thyroid gland.

Abstract
In this study we presented 92 cases with regional lymphadenitis (over 1 cm in diameter) which was caused by BCG vaccination generally performed a few days after birth. The patients were divided into four therapy groups. In group I, the lymphadenitis in 26 cases was excised totally by a surgical operation and they improved in a median period of four weeks (average: 4.4). No therapy was applied in 33 patients constituting group II and their periods of improvement were 28 weeks (average: 29.1). Sixteen cases in group III were given isoniazid (INH) 10 mg/kg for six months in addition to total surgical excision and their healing period was 4.5 weeks (average: 4). Seventeen cases in group IV were administered only INH for six months and the median improvement period was found to be 27 weeks (average: 28.2). The statistical differences in terms of the improvement periods between groups I and III, and groups II and IV were found to be insignificant (p greater than 0.05) but these differences were significant between groups I and II, groups I and IV, groups II and III, and groups III and IV (p less than 0.05). These results show that spontaneous healing is possible. Total excision is the best therapy for BCG lymphadenitis in suppurative forms and INH has no effect in shortening the therapy period.

Abstract
In this study orchiopexy was performed in 30 Sprague-Dawley rats in order to compare traumatic effects of surgical and autologous fascial suture materials on testicular histology. Abscess formation was observed in 72.7% of the chromic, in 36.3% of the nylon, and in 18.1% of the vicryl fixed groups. There were no abscess formations in the dartos and autologous fascial fixed group. Examination of the testes revealed complete absence of spermatogenesis in the chromic fixed group. Spermatogenesis was normal, 72% in the vicryl, 18.1% in the nylon, 90.9% in the dartos and autologous fascial suture fixed groups. Antisperm antibody was not observed in any rat sera. We consider that it is preferred to use dartos pouch fixation. If necessary, it is advisable to use autologous fascial suture materials.
