    EFFECTS OF CYP2C19 AND P2Y12 GENE POLYMORPHISMS ON CLINICAL RESULTS OF PATIENTS USING CLOPIDOGREL AFTER ACUTE ISCHEMIC CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE
    (Macedonian Acad Sciences Arts, 2014) Sen, H. M.; Sılan, Fatma; Sılan, Coşkun; Degirmenci, Y.; Kamaran, Ozisik H., I
    The CY2C19 and P2Y12 gene polymorphisms are responsible for resistance to clopidogrel, known as drug unresponsiveness. In this study we researched the effect of gene polymorphism on clinical results of patients who began clopidogrel therapy after acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease. The study included 51 patients. The patient group included patients who had begun prophylactic clopidogrel due to acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease in the last 2 years. All patients were monitored by the Neurology Outpatient Clinic at Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University Research Hospital, Canakkale, Turkey, and only those monitored for at least 1 year were included in the study. When the *1, *2 and *3 alleles of the CYP2C19 gene polymorphism were evaluated, two patients were homozygotes for *2/*2, 13 patients were heterozygous for *1/*2 and 36 patients were homozygotes for the wild type *1/*1. No patient had the *3 allele. Three heterozygous patients, one for *2/*2 and two for *1/*2, stopped clopidogrel therapy due to repeated strokes and began taking warfarin. When evaluating P2Y12 52 (G>T) and 34 (C>T) polymorphisms, all alleles were of the wild type. The CYP2C19 and P2Y12 gene polymorphisms may cause recurring strokes linked to insufficient response to treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular disease. In our patient group, three patients suffered repeated strokes and these patients had the CYP2C19*2 gene polymorphism. As a result, before medication use, genetic testing is important for human life, quality of life and economic burden.

    The Importance of Education in Diabetic Foot Care of Patients with Diabetic Neuropathy
    (Johann Ambrosius Barth Verlag Medizinverlage Heidelberg Gmbh, 2015) Sen, H. M.; Sen, H.; Asik, M.; Ozkan, A.; Binnetoglu, E.; Erbag, G.; Karaman, H. I. O.
    Objective: Our aim is to research the effect of the knowledge and routine gained from the diabetic foot (DF) care education program given to patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) with diabetic neuropathy. Materials and Method: A total of 104 patients with Type 2 DM and diabetic neuropathy participated in a survey to evaluate standards of DF care, and knowledge of and behavior relating to personal care. The difference in knowledge and personal care between the group who had received education on diabetes and the group who had not was researched. Results: A total of 42.3 % of patients reported receiving education about diabetes. The education for Type 2 DM patients increased the frequency of attending yearly check-ups (p:0.028), and helped develop the habit of having doctors check their feet (p:0.004). When comparing the daily practice of those who had received education about DF care with those who had not, positive effects of education were seen in all questions evaluating foot care, nail care and choice of shoe. The statistical analysis proved that the educated group were significantly better in terms of foot care such as using moisturizer (p:0.002) and using insoles (p:0.042). Conclusion: Our study reveal that educating diabetic patients about foot care is an effective method to develop their knowledge. However we observed that this education is not provided to all diabetic patients. We believe that every diabetic patient should receive education from the moment of diagnosis and repeated education during check-ups by doctors will increase effectiveness.
