Background: Intra-abdominal adhesions and their complications following abdominal surgery are serious problems, with an incidence of 67-93%. Prevention of peritoneal adhesion formation may eliminate the need for surgical intervention, decreasing complications, morbidity, and cost. Bevacizumab is a recombinant monoclonal antibody which specifically binds vascular endothelial growth factor, an important cytokine in adhesion formation, and neutralizes its biological activity. We developed an experimental model in rats to determine the effect of bevacizumab in preventing adhesion formation and analyzed its effect both micro-and macroscopically. Methods: We used 32 Wistar rats randomly divided into two groups: Group A (control) and Group B (bevacizumab), with 16 rats each. A modified cecum abrasion model was developed; 0.9% NaCl solution was administered intraperitoneally to Group A and bevacizumab to Group B. On day 15, adhesion formation was evaluated both macro-and microscopically. Results: Both micro-and macroscopic adhesion grades in Group B were significantly lower than those of control Group A; macroscopic grades were 2.69 ± 0.95 and 0.69 ± 0.8, and microscopic grades were 2.25 ± 1.06 and 0.5 ± 0.52 for Groups A and B, respectively. Conclusions: Bevacizumab was effective in preventing intraperitoneal adhesion formation in our study; however, its inhibitory effects on embryogenesis and the hematopoietic, endocrine, and immune systems may limit its clinical use.
Dericilik ilk çağlardan itibaren insanoğlunun taş ve ağaçtan sonra en çok kullandığı malzeme olmuş ve insanların zamanla deri işlemeyi öğrenmesiyle birlikte gelişmiş, ev ve giyim eşyalarından, çeşitli aksesuarlara kadar sayısız dalda yerini almıştır.Bu alanlardan birisi de askeri alanda deri kullanımıdır. Türklerin yaşamında çok geniş bir kullanım alanı olan derinin; Osmanlı'nın kuruluşundan başlayarak ordunun başlıca gereksinimlerinden, çizme, at koşumları, tirkeş, sadak, yay krişi, davul, kös vb. eşyaların yapımında kullanıldığı bilinmektedir. Bugün ülkemizde müze ve koleksiyonlarda deri sanatlarını belgeleyecek örnekler bulunmaktadır. İstanbul Harbiye Askeri Müzesi'nde bulunan deri ürünler geniş bir yelpazaye sahiptir. Bu çalışmada İstanbul Harbiye Askeri Müzesi'nde bulunan silah aksesuarlan üzerinde durulmuştur. Deri, eşya ve aksesuarlar, kullanılan malzeme, desen ve kompozisyon özellikleri açısından incelenmiştir.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
