    Abstract In this study, the effects of the additive on engine performance and emissions were investigated by adding cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles (NPs) into diesel fuel. The use of CeO2 NPs as an additive increased the lower calorific value (LHV) of the fuel while decreasing its viscosity and density. As a result of the experiments, an increase of 8.99% in engine torque was obtained in DCe100 fuel which 100 ppm CeO2 NPs were added compared to diesel (D0) fuel. The increase in the LHV had a positive effect on the specific fuel consumption. The use of CeO2 NPs resulted in an increase in brake thermal efficiency (BTE) due to the increased ending temperature of combustion. A 5.44% increase was obtained in DCe100 fuel compared to D0 fuel in terms of BTE. With an increase in the amount of CeO2, carbon dioxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC), and smoke emissions were reduced. Compared to D0 fuel, the lowest values were obtained with the DCe100 fuel. CO emissions were reduced by 18.27%, HC emissions by 30.12%, and soot emissions by 21.63%. However, nitrogen oxides (NOX) emissions increased with rising CeO2 amount and in-cylinder temperature. The highest NOX value in DCe100 fuel was obtained with an increase of 6.65% compared to D0 fuel.

    Abstract Fossil-based fuels while supply the energy needs of the world, on the other hand release greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere. In the last quarter century, biomass energy has gained importance, particularly in direct combustion systems. The continuity of raw material is an important matter in biomass energy production. At this point, giant reed (Arundo donax L.), a perennial C3 plant that can be easily grown in different ecological conditions, has drawn considerable interest in various countries of the world, mainly in Southern Europe and Costa Rica. The calorific value of the giant reed, which can deliver up to 100 tons of biomass per hectare under suitable conditions, is between 17,200 – 20,600 kj/kg. In this study, the usability of the giant reed, this unable to exceed the local usage in our country, in combustion systems was examined in the light of the studies in the literature. This review had been compiled under three main frameworks as general properties and usage areas, chemical characterization, biomass amount and calorific value of the giant reed. Thus, it had been tried to form a technical basis for the industrial usage of giant reed in combustion systems.

    Abstract The neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a promising biomarker in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response evaluation of neurological diseases. The aims of this study were to compare the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) NfL levels in multiple sclerosis (MS) and certain non-demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system (NDCNS); to determine the relationship between clinical and radiological features and CSF NfL levels in patients with MS; and to compare the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and single molecule array (SIMOA) methods for NfL measurement using paired CSF and serum samples. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and performed NfL measurements in CSF and serum samples of newly diagnosed and treatment-naive patients with CNS diseases evaluated between 1 January 2019 and 1 January 2020. Eligible patients were divided into three groups: MS (n=23), differential diagnosis of MS (n=19), and NDCNS (n=42). First, we compared the CSF NfL levels among the three groups using the previously validated CSF ELISA assay. Next, we evaluated the relationship between CSF NfL levels and the clinical and radiological findings in MS group. Finally, we compared CSF and serum samples from patients of the MS groups (paired serum and CSF samples, n=19) using two different methods (ELISA and SIMOA). The CSF NfL level was the highest in the NDCNS group (1169.64 [535.92-5120.11] pg/mL, p=0.025). There was a strong positive correlation between the number of T2 lesions and CSF NfL level (r=0.786, p<0.001) in the MS group. There was excellent consistency between ELISA and SIMOA for CSF samples, but not for serum samples. Our results indicated that CSF NfL levels may also be used in the management of NDCNS and that SIMOA is the most reliable method for serum NfL determination.

    Abstract Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR) staining intensity of pathologic specimens and Prostate Spesific Antigen (PSA) recurrence of patients with an organ-limited disease who underwent radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer.Materials and Methods:The data of 46 patients who underwent radical retropubic prostatectomy and who had prostate-limited disease without capsule invasion in the pathological evaluation were included in the study. AMACR expression was assessed by immunohistochemical staining. Expression levels were classified as negative (score=0), weak (score=1), moderate (score=2) and strong (score=3) staining. Patients with a PSA value of ≥0.2 ng/mL at postoperative follow-up were considered to have a biochemical recurrence. Patients were divided into two groups, according to biochemical recurrence. Groups were compared in terms of AMACR staining intensities of radical prostatectomy specimens.Results:Twenty-one patients developed PSA recurrence in a mean follow-up period of 32±8 months. The remaining 25 patients were recurrence-free. The mean recurrence time was 24±5 months. According to AMACR staining scores, the biochemical recurrence rates of the patients were 33.3%, 40.7%, and 61.5% for score 1, score 2, and score 3, respectively. Although higher rates of PSA recurrence were observed in patients with more intense AMACR staining, the difference between rates was not statistically significant (p=0.38).Conclusion:PSA recurrence rate increases with increasing AMAC-CR staining intensity. Further studies are needed to obtain statistically significant results.

    Abstract Abstract Background/aim Certain constituents in migraine food triggers and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit sulfotransferases (SULTs) that detoxify drugs/chemicals and play role in the metabolism of neurotransmitters. We aimed to dissect SULT1A1 modulation of CSD susceptibility and behavior in an in vivo experimental model using hesperidin, a SULT1A1 inhibitor found in citrus fruits (known migraine triggers) and mefenamic acid (SULT1A1 inhibitor), an NSAID to simulate medication overuse. Methods Hesperidin was used as SULT1A1 inhibitor found in citrus fruits, known migraine triggers and mefenamic acid (NSAID), another SULT1A1 inhibitor, was used to induce MO in rats. The groups were; 1) Hesperidin (ip) or its vehicle-DMSO (ip) 2) Chronic (4 weeks) mefenamic acid (ip) or its vehicle (ip) 3) Chronic mefenamic acid+hesperidin (ip) or DMSO (ip). CSD susceptibility was evaluated and behavioral testing was performed. SULT1A1 enzyme activity was measured in brain samples. Results Single-dose of hesperidin neither changed CSD susceptibility nor resulted in any behavioral change. Chronic mefenamic acid exposure resulted in increased CSD susceptibility, mechanical-thermal hypersensitivity, increased head shake, grooming and freezing and decreased locomotion. Single dose hesperidin administration after chronic mefenamic acid exposure resulted in increased CSD susceptibility and mechanical-thermal hypersensitivity, increased freezing and decreased locomotion. SULT1A1 enzyme activity was lower in mefenamic acid and mefenamic acid+hesperidin groups compared to their vehicles. Conclusion Mefenamic acid and hesperidin have synergistic effect in modulating CSD susceptibility and pain behavior. Sulfotransferase inhibition may be the common mechanism by which food triggers and NSAIDs modulate migraine susceptibility. Further investigations regarding human provocation studies using hesperidin in migraine patients with medication overuse are needed.

    Abstract Amaç: Bu çalışmada tükürük numunelerinde ürik asit miktar tayini için yeni bir amperometrik biyosensör kullanılması amaçlanarak, hazırlanan sistemde elektrodun iyi çalışma koşullarının belirlenmesi ve çalışmayı etkileyen faktörlerin tanımlanması hedeflenmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Hazırlanan biyosensörde, BSA/jelatin kullanarak grafit elektrot üzerindeki ürikaz enzimi glutaraldehit ile çapraz bağlanmaktadır. Optimizasyon çalışmaları sırasında jelatin, sığır serum albümini ve glutaraldehit miktarları belirlendi. Karakterizasyon çalışmaları sırasında tekrarlanabilirlik, doğrusal ölçüm aralığı ve raf ömrü çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Validasyon ve verifikasyon çalışmaları için genç erişkin bireyler kontrol grubunu oluşturdu (n=26). Tükürük örneklerinden ürik asit değerleri kemilüminesans prensibi ile çalışan otoanalizör ile ölçüldü ve biyosensör sonuçları ile karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Tayin sınırının 6,0x10-4mM olduğu ve ürik asit konsantrasyonu için 6,0x10-4-5,0x10-3 mM aralığında doğrusal sonuçlar elde edildiği belirlenmiştir. Raf ömrü çalışmalarına baktığımızda sonuçlar 40. günün sonunda ,5 oranında korunmuştur, ölçüm tekrarlanabilirliği (n=15) standart sapması (S.S)=±0,1 ve % varyasyon (değişim) katsayısı (V.K)=0,2’dir. Otoanalizör sonuçları biyosensör sonuçları ile istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldığında çizilen ROC eğrisinde doğruluk oranı elde edilmiştir.Sonuç: Çalışmamızda geliştirdiğimiz yöntem kullanılarak ileri çalışmalarla taşınabilir ve girişimsel olmayan bir ürik asit tayin cihazı üretilebilir.
