BACKGROUND: In wind instrument performance, there is a constant contact between the player and the instrument, during which microorganisms in the mouth flora of the player are transferred into the instrument. The inner surface of the brass instruments provides the perfect environment for microorganisms to grow. As a result, players repeatedly inter...

Research shows that wind instruments are often contaminated with various bacteria and mould, creating a potential threat to musicians. These microorganisms are partially transferred from the players to the instrument during playing. Since the moist and dark inner surface of the instruments cr...
Background
Tabanus bromius (Diptera: Tabanidae) is one of the most notable Tabanidae species of veterinary and medical importance distributed throughout the Palearctic region. In this study, we investigate the genetic diversity and the phylogeographic structure of T. bromius sampled from Turkey, Croatia, and Iran.
Methods
For this purpose, a 686-b...
Quetiapine is one of the most commonly prescribed antipsychotics to treat schizophrenia in adults, in particular. In this study, quetiapine’s effects were assessed on healthy sperm production in rats at repeated-pharmacological doses. Additionally, the effects of quetiapine on oxidative status and hormonal balance were also evaluated in rats. Queti...
Süt ve ürünlerinden izole edilen 50 laktik asit bakterisinin lipaz aktivitesi taranmıştır. E114 ve E114.11 numaralı izolatlarda yüksek aktivite görülmesi nedeniyle enzim üretimi için seçilmiştir. 16S rRNA gen bölgesine göre test bakterilerinin dizi analizi sonuçları Enterococcus durans olarak belirlenmiştir. Lipaz üretimi için optimum üretim koşull...
Although it is reported that olanzapine (OLZ), which is an atypical antipsychotic drug, causes sexual dysfunction in men, it is noteworthy that there is not any study evaluating the toxic effects of OLZ on the male reproductive system. In the scope of this research, it was aimed to assess the reproductive toxic effects of OLZ by oral administration...
Risperidone (RIS), a commonly used drug during a lifetime for the treatment of schizophrenia, causes some adverse effects in the male reproductive system; however, there is no comprehensive reproductive toxicity study of RIS. For this purpose, male rats were administered orally for 1.25, 2.5 and 3 mg/kg RIS for 28 days and the sperm count, motility...
Zonisamide (ZNS) is an anticonvulsant which is used to treat the symptoms of epilepsy. Although it is frequently used during reproductive ages, studies that investigated the effects of ZNS on reproductive system are limited. Therefore, we aimed to assess the effects of ZNS on male reproductive system by oral administration to rats in 25, 50, and 10...
Liver plays a pivotal role in host defense mechanisms related to endotoxemia. However, liver dysfunction often occurs in early sepsis. This study investigated the hepatoprotective potential of natural stilbenoid piceatannol (PIC) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxemic mice. Swiss Albino mice were divided into four groups: Control (C), LPS...
Trazodone (TRZ) is an antidepressant drug commonly used in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Although some studies demonstrated the adverse effects of TRZ related to cardiovascular system, the conflicting results were observed in these studies. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the cardiac adverse effects of TRZ in rats at repeat...
Depression and anxiety are recognized as public health problems. Epidemiological studies have shown that depression and anxiety often occur during reproductive ages between 20 and 60 years of age in males. Trazodone is one of the most frequently prescribed drugs in the treatment of depression and anxiety. Drugs used in repeated doses also play a ro...
The research objective of the present study was to evaluate antimicrobial activity of ZnO powder systems in different size, shape and array platelet forms with undoped and doped Ag at different concentrations. In particular, a novel particle morphology, called MicNo-ZnO, is micron size hexagonal platelet particles composed of primary nano ZnO parti...
Sertraline is an antidepressant that is frequently prescribed to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and anxiety. This drug had a safe cardiotoxicity profile, until the reporting of cases of sertraline-associated cardiotoxicities in the early 2000s. Since then, there have been conflicting results on the cardiotoxicity o...
Talyum (Tl)’un canlı sistemler üzerindeki etkisi
son yıllarda önemli bir sorun haline gelmiştir. Bununla birlikte, sucul
sistemlerin Tl’a maruz kalmasının sonuçları ile ilgili çok az bilgi mevcuttur. Bu
çalışmanın amacı, sucul oligoket Tubifex
tubifex’in antioksidan biyolojik belirteçlerinde (metallotionein (MT), toplam glutatyon (GSH), glutatyon

Haloferax alexandrinus Strain TM JCM 10717T = IFO 16590T is an extreme halophilic archaeon able to produce significant amounts of canthaxanthin. Its genome sequence has been analysed in this work using bioinformatics tools available at Expasy in order to look for genes encoding nitrate reductase-like proteins: respiratory nitrate reductase (Nar) an...
Levetiracetam (LEV) is an antiepileptic drug commonly used in the treatment of epilepsy because of its excellent safety profile in all age groups. It is remarkable that there are no studies evaluating the toxic effects of this drug on the male reproductive system, as it is commonly used in male patients of reproductive age. From this point of view,...
Objectives
To compare biofilm formations of two Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) isolates with known biofilm formation capacities on four different intraocular lenses (IOL) that have not been studied before.
Materials and Methods
Two isolates obtained from ocular surfaces and identified in previous studies and stored at -86 °C in 15% gl...
Background:
Citalopram hydrobromide (CTL) has been shown to cause sexual dysfunction; however, its reproductive toxicity potential has not been sufficiently elucidated in men. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the toxic effects of CTL on the reproductive system of male rats.
Methods:
For this purpose, CTL was administered at 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg/day...
This study was conducted to clarify the toxic effects of sertraline (SRT) on the reproductive system of male rats and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Rats were treated orally with SRT at doses of 5, 10, and 20 mg kg-1 for 28 consecutive days. At the end of the treatment period, sperm concentration, sperm motility, and sperm morphology were...
Metal accumulation in agricultural soils threaten human and environmental health in the first place but also constitute a risk for animals living in their natural habitat. Chemical analysis alone does not provide adequate information concerning the biotoxicity of these metals. Hence, the present study assessed a suite of biomarkers in Aporrectodea...
As one of the most important components copying DNA molecules in the PCR system, Taq DNA polymerase has a high processivity however lower persistence when compared to other polymerases. Studies for the enhancement of stability of Taq DNA polymerase is of great importance. The present study describes the integration of PCR application of cross-linke...
The present study aims to investigate the effect of Tl on the survival and morphology of Tubifex tubifex (sludge worm). For this purpose, Tl was applicated to the animals for 96 h of daily renewal tests at the following test concentrations: 0.005, 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5 mg/L -1. Acute toxicity was analysed by the measurement of 96-h LC 50 v...
The aim of the present study was to investigate the toxic effects of cadmium (Cd) in the liver and gills of Aphanius chantrei at the histopathological level. Fish were exposed to the acute concentration of Cd (5.5 mg/L) for 96 h, and the tissues were processed for light and electron microscopic analysis. Cd was highly accumulated in liver rather th...
