In order to investigate the use of oil in water gelled emulsion (GE) prepared with healthier oil combinations as beef fat replacer in the fresh chicken sausage formulations, four batches of fresh sausages were produced. The first batch was control (C) sample formulated with %100 beef fat, other batches were codded as GE50, GE75, and GE100 respective to the percentage of beef fat replaced with GE. The addition of GE to sausage formulation resulted in an increment in moisture and protein contents while a decrement was observed in fat content (p<0.05). pH, cooking yield and water holding capacity values of GE added samples were found lower than C (p<0.05). GE addition caused lower CIE L* values in samples, however, this trend was not observed in CIE a* and CIE b* values. Initially, the lowest peroxide and the highest TBARS values were recorded in GE100 samples on the 0th d (p<0.05). Peroxide and TBARS values were in the limits. The texture of samples was softened while total saturated fatty acid content reduced up to 52.61% with the incorporation of GE (p<0.05). Taken together, our results showed that GEs can be used as fat replacers in meat product formulations without causing undesirable quality changes.

Purpose: This prospective study was done to analyze the efficacy of commercial fibrin glue application in the healing of patients with fistulas-in-ano from a long-term (mean 4.5 years) research period. Methods: This clinical trial of forty-six patients was performed during the period from January 2004 to February 2005. Thirty-nine men and seven women were treated for a fistula-in-ano with a commercial fibrin glue application. In the operating room, the patients underwent an anorectal examination under spinal anesthesia. The external and internal fistula tract openings were then identified. The fistula tract was curetted. Fibrin glue was injected into the external fistula opening until the fibrin glue could be seen coming from the internal opening. Results: The overall initial success rate was 86.95% (40/46). Recurrence rate was 41.30% (19/46). Two patients underwent a re-application with fibrin glue and the fistulas of these patients closed. The total recurrence rate was 36.95% (17/46). The long-term overall success rate was 63.04% (29/46). Conclusion: Fibrin glue application was thus found to be an easy, safe, acceptable, successful alternative treatment in the management of fistulas-in-ano. Choosing the patient correctly is very important because long (more than 4 cm) and non-ramificate fistula tracts usually close with commercial fibrin glue.

Arslan, Hü,lya,Hazer, Baki,Yoon, Sung C. Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company 2007 Journal of applied polymer science Vol.103 No.1

<P>Poly(3-hydroxy octanoate) (PHO), poly(3-hydroxy butyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), and linoleic acid were grafted onto chitosan via condensation reactions between carboxylic acids and amine groups. Unreacted PHAs and linoleic acid were eliminated via chloroform extraction and for elimination of unreacted chitosan were used 2 wt % of HOAc solution. The pure chitosan graft copolymers were isolated and then characterized by FTIR, <SUP>13</SUP>C-NMR (in solid state), DSC, and TGA. Microbial polyester percentage grafted onto chitosan backbone was varying from 7 to 52 wt % as a function of molecular weight of PHAs, namely as a function of steric effect. Solubility tests were also performed. Graft copolymers were soluble, partially soluble or insoluble in 2 wt % of HOAc depending on the amount of free primary amine groups on chitosan backbone or degree of grafting percent. Thermal analysis of PHO-g-Chitosan graft copolymers indicated that the plastizer effect of PHO by means that they showed melting transitions T<SUB>m</SUB>s at 80, 100, and 113°C or a broad T<SUB>m</SUB>s between 60.5–124.5°C and 75–125°C while pure chitosan showed a sharp T<SUB>m</SUB> at 123°C. In comparison of the solubility and thermal properties of graft copolymers, linoleic acid derivatives of chitosan were used. Thus, the grafting of poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) and linoleic acid onto chitosan decrease the thermal stability of chitosan backbone. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Burcu Ö,ztü,rk-Kerimoğ,lu,Hü,lya Serpil Kavuş,an,Damla Tabak,Meltem Serdaroğ,lu 한국축산식품학회 2020 한국축산식품학회지 Vol.40 No.5

This study dealt with the use of quinoa flour (QF) or teff flour (TF) as partial beef fat replacers in the formulation of emulsion-type sausages. A control (C) group was manufactured with 20% beef fat, while the other three groups were formulated with 10% beef fat plus 5% QF (Q), 5% TF (T), and 2.5% QF+2.5% TF (QT). Water-holding capacity of the emulsions was higher in Q (81.81%), T (82.20%), and QT (84.10%) samples than in C (64.83%) samples. Total expressible fluid and expressible fat were the lowest in Q and T samples, indicating the highest emulsion stability of those groups. Incorporation of QF and TF into formulations increased moisture and carbohydrate contents while decreased fat and energy values. Besides, the use of QF was effective to increase protein and dietary fiber contents. T sausages had lower luminosity (L*) and higher yellowness (b*) than C sausages, whilst Q sausages did not result in significant color changes. Higher cook yield values were recorded in Q (97.96%), T (98.21%), and QT (98.15%) samples compared with C (96.44%) samples. Inclusion of QF and TF to formulation led to lower hardness and gumminess, while utilization of TF was also effective to decrease chewiness. Consequently, healthier emulsified sausages were obtained by the inclusion of QF or TF that could decrease the fat content more than 50% without sacrificing overall quality, bringing advantages by quinoa over teff for increasing nutritional value and leading minimal modifications on color and texture.

A. Ali Gu¨ rten,Hu¨ lya Keles,Emel Bayol,Fatma Kandemirli 한국공업화학회 2015 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.27 No.-

Inhibition effect of Schiff base namely 1-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-3-(2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-4-yl) urea(ALS) was studied on carbon steel corrosion in 1.0 M HCl by using the electrochemical impedancespectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization and linear polarization (LPR) and quantum chemicalstudy. The values of activation energy (Ea), equilibrium constant (Kads), adsorption free energy DG8ads,adsorption enthalpy DH8ads and adsorption entropy DS8ads were discussed. The adsorption of inhibitor onmetal followed Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm. The thermodynamic parameters of adsorption revealthat there is a strong interaction between inhibitor and carbon steel. The highest inhibition efficiencywas observed 5.0 10 4 M ALS concentration at 318 K. SEM and EDX observations confirmed theexistence of protective inhibitor film on metal surface. Quantum chemical study supports thecomparative inhibition effect of ALS.

Tayfun Kara,İ,smail Akaltun,Bedia Cakmakoglu,İ,lyas Kaya,Salih Zoroğ,lu 대한신경정신의학회 2018 PSYCHIATRY INVESTIGATION Vol.15 No.3

Objective-Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have a complex pathophysiology including genetic, inflammatory and neurodevelopmental components. We aim to investigate the relationship between ASD and gene polymorphisms of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and its receptor CXC chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4), which may affect inflammatory and neurodevelopmental processes. Methods-101 children diagnosed with ASD aged 2–18 and their biological parents were included in the study. All participants were assessed using an information form and the Children were assessed using Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). SDF-1 G801→A and CXCR4 C13→T polymorphisms were detected by genetic techniques. The results were evaluated using the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) and haplotype relative risk (HRR). Results-Following TDT evaluation for CXCR4, the assumption of equality was not rejected (χ2=1.385, p=0.239). HRR for the C allele was 1.037 [HRR (95%CI)=0.937 (0.450-2.387), χ2=0.007, p=0.933] and HRR for the T allele was 0.965 [HRR (95%CI)=0.965 (0.419-2.221), χ2=1.219, p=0.270], but the findings were statistically insignificant. Based on TDT evaluation for SDF1, the assumption of equality cannot be rejected (χ2=0, p=0.999). HRR for the A allele was 0.701 [HRR (95%CI)=0.701 (0.372-1.319), χ2=1.219, p=0.270] and HRR for the G allele was 1.427 [HRR (95%CI)=1.427 (0.758-2.686), χ2=1.219, p=0.270], but the findings were statistically insignificant. Conclusion-The genetic screening of blood samples from mother, father and child trios could not show a significant association between SDF1/CXCR4 genes and ASD on the basis of TDT and HRR tests. More extensive genetic studies are now needed to investigate the relationship between SDF1/CXCR4 gene polymorphisms and ASD.

Objectives: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent and disabling joint disease in the world. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) exercise is a widely used treatment and could be a beneficial and long-term tool for treating TMJ OA. The present study aims to evaluate the effects of therapeutic exercise in the conservative treatment of TMJ OA. Materials and Methods: A single-group experimental pre-post test was performed. We included patients who met the diagnostic criteria for TMJ OA. Outcome variables were pain intensity (visual analogue scale), functionality (Helkimo index), and structural changes (ultrasound). Follow-up peri-ods were at months 1, 3, and 6. The intervention included a home-based program with thermotherapy, manual therapy, and therapeutic exercise during the entire follow-up period. Results: We included 15 patients and 26 joints, all women with a median age of 57 years (range, 49-62 years). Median change in pain intensity on joint palpation, mouth opening, and at rest at the first month was 47.5 mm, 51 mm, and 60 mm, respectively, and 48 mm, 49.5 mm, and 42.5 mm, at six months (P=0.001). The Helkimo index showed significant improvement in medians from baseline severe dysfunction (17 points) to minimal dys-function at three and six months (2 points) (P=0.001). Ultrasound showed improved disc position. Conclusion: This study demonstrated significant improvements in pain, function, and joint disc position and represents a valuable tool for the long-term treatment of patients with TMJ OA.

Hakime Hülya Orak,Hülya Yagar,Sebnem Selen Isbilir,Ahmet Şükrü Demirci,Tuncay Gümüş,Neslihan Ekinci 한국식품과학회 2011 Food Science and Biotechnology Vol.20 No.5

In present study, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L.) leaves were investigated. Antioxidant activity was determined by methods of DPPH scavenging, β-carotene bleaching,reducing power, metal chelating, superoxide anion scavenging, and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity. Total phenolic content were determined to be 197.16±1.43mg GAE/g extract in aqueous extract. The EC_50 value of methanolic extracts was found to be 0.423 mg/mL. The extracts of leaves showed nearly 1/4 metal chelating capacity of standard EDTA, high reducing power,superoxide anion scavenging, and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities. While the strawberry tree leaves exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, there was no inhibitory effect against Escherichia coli and Salmonella enteritidis. The strawberry tree leaves exhibited antifungal effect against 2 aflatoxigenic molds namely Aspergillus parasiticus NRRL 2999 and NRRL 465. These results suggest that the strawberry tree leaves may be used as an antioxidant source for pharmaceutical application, nutraceutical and functional food industries.

Hülya Turan,Demet Kocatepe 한국식품과학회 2013 Food Science and Biotechnology Vol.22 No.6

Shelf life of cultured sea bass packaged in air,vacuum, and gas mixture packages stored for 40 days at2.90±0.02oC was compared. The gas mixtures used containedCO2, O2, and N2 at difference percentages (M1: 75% CO2/25% N2; M2: 60% CO2/40% N2; M3: 30% O2/30% CO2/40% N2). Sensory and physical parameters, chemicalchanges, and microbiological counts were monitoredduring storage. Storage with a gas mix including 75 and60% CO2 was more effective than vacuum processing andpackaging with a gas mix that included oxygen. Vacuumwas the most effective method for preventing lipidoxidation. The optimum method for sea bass in view of allanalysis results was modified atmosphere packaging(MAP) and the most suitable gas mix ratio was 75% CO2/25% N2. The best days for consumption of sea basspackaged with air, MAP (M1, M2, and M3), and vacuumwere 4th, 28th, 28th, 16th, and 20th days, respectively.
