    (Comenius Univ, 2015) Toman, H.; Erbas, M.; Kiraz, H. A.; Sahin, H.; Ovali, M. A.; Uzun, M.
    AIM: We aimed to compare the effects of three different supraglottic airway devices, the classic LMA, PLA, and V-gel, on hemodynamics and QTc in rabbits under general anesthesia. METHOD: The rabbits were divided into four groups: Group C (n = 5) control group with no airway device used, Group L (n = 5, classic LMA), Group P (n = 5, CobraPLA) and Group V (n = 5, V-gel-rabbit). Basal values of heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and ECG for QTc interval were measured and the measurements were evaluated at 1, 5, 15, and 30 minutes after inserting the airway device RESULTS: The values of HR, MAP and QTc in Group V at minutes 1 and 5 were significantly different to those in Group L and Group P (p < 0.05). DISCUSSION: The classic-LMA and cobraPLA cover a wide part of the perilaryngeal area with cuffs inflated to about 60 cmH(2)O of pressure resulting in mucosal compression. As V-gel rabbit does not have a cuff, it covers a smaller part of the laryngopharyngeal area, and thus does not cause mucosal compression, and the hemodynamic response is weaker. CONCLUSION: When comparing hemodynamic responses to other supraglottic airway devices, the response to V-gel rabbit is minimal and we consider that similar studies using the I-gel on humans are required (Fig. 5, Ref. 31).

    Effect of levosimendan on erythrocyte deformability during myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury
    (Comenius Univ, 2015) Arslan, M.; Comu, F. M.; Alkan, M.; Kiraz, H. A.; Kip, G.; Ozer, A.; Sivgin, V
    Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder accompanied by an increase in oxidative stress. Ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is a cascade of events initiated by tissue ischaemia. The cellular damage produced by reperfusion leads to an active inflammatory response. Erythrocyte deformability and plasma viscosity are of crucial importance for the perfusion of tissues and organs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of levosimendan on erythrocyte deformability during IR myocardial injury in diabetic rats. Methods: Twenty-four Wistar albino rats were included in the study after streptozocin (55 mg/kg) treatment for 4 weeks to observe the existence of diabetes. The animals were randomly assigned to one of four experimental groups. In Group C and DC (sham-control group), the coronary artery was not occluded or reperfused in the control rats. Myocardial IR was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery for 30 min, followed by 2 h of reperfusion in the diabetes-IR (DIR) and diabetes-IR-levosimendan (DIRL) group. Deformability measurements were performed in erythrocyte suspensions containing Htc 5 % in a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) buffer. Results: The deformability index was significantly increased in the diabetic rats. It was similar in Group DC and DIRL It was significantly increased in the DIR group compared to Group C, DIRL and DC. The relative resistance was increased in the IR models. Conclusion: Erythrocyte deformability was decreased in rats with diabetes and IR injury. This injury might lead to further problems in microcirculation. Levosimendan may be useful in enhancing the adverse effects of this type of injury (Fig. 2, Ref. 41). Text in PDF www.elis.sk.

    Effects of tenoxicam in experimental corrosive esophagitis model
    (Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2015) Erbas, M.; Kiraz, H. A.; Kucuk, A.; Topaloglu, N.; Erdem, H.; Sahin, H.; Toman, H.
    Esophageal stricture, one of the important complications of corrosive esophagus, develops following edema and granulation tissue that forms during and after the inflammatory reactions. Tenoxicam, a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug with a long half-life, prevents various leukocyte functions including phagocyte and histamine secretion by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis and removes various oxygen radicals in the region of inflammation. We designed this as a histopathological study using tenoxicam in rats for which we created a corrosive esophagus model. After necessary authorizations were obtained, the study was performed in Canakkale 18 Mart University experimental animal laboratory. Twenty-four Wistar albino rats, weighing 220-240g, were used for the experiment. Experimental animals were randomized into three groups: tenoxicam group (group T, n:8), control group (group C, n:8), and sham group (group S, n:8). Tenoxicam 0.5mg/kg/day was administered to animals in group T, where esophageal burn was developed experimentally, 5mg/kg 0.9% NaCL was administered i.p. to rats in group C for 15 days, once in 24 hours. No procedure was applied to rats in group S. After 15 days, all animals were sacrificed under general anesthesia and their esophagi were extracted. As a result of histopathological evaluation, inflammation and fibroblast proliferation was not observed in rats in the sham group (group S). Intense inflammation was observed in six rats (6+/2-) in the control group, and fibroblast proliferation was observed as 5+/3-. And in treatment groups, inflammation was evaluated as 3+/5-, and fibroblast proliferation as 3+/5-. In our study, histopathologic damage score was higher in the control group (P < 0.005). We deduce that tenoxicam can be useful in the treatment of caustic esophageal injuries in the acute phase, but think that these drugs require further researches and clinical studies before routine clinical use.

    Investigation of histopathological effects after intra-arterial sugammadex injection in an experimental animal model
    (Comenius Univ, 2016) Kiraz, H. A.; Toman, H.; Erbas, M.; Karabulut, Yuyucu Y.; Simsek, T.; Hanci, V; Uzun, M.
    PURPOSE: Intra-arterial injection of medications are related to mortality and morbidity. It was aimed to investigate the histopathological effects caused by two different intra-arterial doses of sugammadex, a new selective relaxant binding agent used to reverse the effects of steroidal systemic muscle relaxants used in surgeries carried out under general anesthesia. METHODS: A total of 15 rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups. The control group was given 1 mL saline bolus into the central artery of the ear. The other two groups (Group Sgdx2 and group Sgdx16) were given 2 and 16 mg/kg sugammadex, respectively, intra-arterially. RESULTS: In control group, histopathological evaluation was in normal limits. The cross-sections belonging to Group Sgdx2 did not have any significant pathological change compared with control group (p > 0.05). Edema and single-cell necrosis were significantly higher in Group Sgdx16 when compared to control group (p < 0.05). In comparison to Group Sgdx2, single-cell necrosis was significantly higher in Group Sgdx16 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Being broadly used in anesthesia, sugammadex should be administered with care because when given by intra-arterial route it may cause tissue damage and tissue loss and the patients' arteries should be carefully checked (Tab. 2, Fig. 3, Ref. 21).

    The effects of low and high doses of sugammadex on kidney tissue in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
    (Comenius Univ, 2015) Kip, G.; Turgut, H. C.; Alkan, M.; Aydin, M. E.; Erbatur, M. E.; Kiraz, H. A.; Kartal, S.
    BACKGROUND: Sugammadex is primarily excreted via renal route. We investigated effects of low and high doses of sugammadex (16 mg/kg versus 96 mg/kg) on renal tissue samples of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty-four Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups. Group C (control - 0.9 % NaCl), Group DC (diabetes control; 55 mg/kg streptozotocin, IP, only), Group DR-16S (diabetes-rocuronium - 16 mg sugamnnadex, IV.) and Group DR-96S (diabetes- rocuronium - 96 mg sugammadex, IV). Renal tissue histopathological evaluation and antioxidant status (measurements of MDA levels and NO activities) were studied. RESULTS: Significantly higher levels of all inflammation parameters (inflammation, degeneration/necrosis, tubular dilatation, tubular cell degeneration, dilatation in Bowman's space, tubular hyaline casts, and lymphocyte infiltration) were found in the 96 mg/kg sugammadex group. Higher MDA tissue levels and lower NO activity were found in the 96 mg/kg sugammadex group. DISCUSSION: We can conclude that high-dose (96 mg/kg) sugammadex administration resulted in significant renal tissue damage in diabetic rats. As a consequence, low doses of sugamnnadex have to be preferred in diabetic patients (Tab. 2, Fig. 4, Ref. 26). Text in PDF www.elis.sk.

    The Radioprotective Effects of Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester and Thymoquinone on Oxidative and Nitrosative Stress in Liver Tissue of Rats Exposed to Total Head Irradiation
    (Univ West Indies Faculty Medical Sciences, 2016) Cikman, O.; Taysi, S.; Gulsen, M. T.; Demir, E.; Akan, M.; Diril, H.; Kiraz, H. A.
    Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of addition of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) and thymoquinone (TQ) on oxidative and nitrosative stress in the liver tissue of irradiated rats. Methods: Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups to test the radioprotective effectiveness of TQ and CAPE administered by intraperitoneal injection. Appropriate control groups were also studied. Results: Liver antioxidant capacity, as measured by levels of total superoxide scavenger activity (TSSA), non-enzymatic superoxide scavenger activity (NSSA) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity except superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, were statistically lower in the irradiation (IR) group compared to all other groups. Total superoxide scavenger activity and NSSA were statistically higher in the IR plus TQ and IR plus CAPE groups compared to all other groups. In contrast, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity was significantly found to increase in the IR plus CAPE group compared to control groups. The xanthine oxidase (XO), nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activities, nitric oxide (NO.) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the IR group were statistically higher than in the other groups. Moreover, XO activity in the IR plus TQ group was statistically lower than all other groups including the IR plus CAPE group. In addition, NO. level was found to increase in all groups when compared to the normal control group. Conclusions: Thymoquinone and CAPE decrease oxidative and nitrosative stress markers and have antioxidant effects, which also increase antioxidant capacity in the liver tissue of irradiated
