Authors:Sönmez, Emine; Sönmez, Ali Suha; Bayındır, Yaşar; Coşkun, Diler; Ariturk, Sedat
Publisher and Date:(Elsevier Science, 2002)In this prospective study our aim was to test the effect of simultaneous administration of preS2 and S containing recombinant hepatitis B vaccine (S2SRHB) with tetanus toxoid (TT) to the individuals who did not respond after three doses of hepatitis B vaccine previously. There were three groups (healthy individuals pregnant women hemodialysis patients) each was divided into two subgroups as groups A and B. Group A received S2SRHB + TT and group B received only S2SRHB. We found that in groups ...

A comparison of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase and catalase activity in patients with hepatitis C infection
Authors:Bayındır, Yaar; Karabulut, Aysun Bay; Sönmez, Emine; Gözükara, Engin M.
Publisher and Date:(2002)Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains important due to difficulties in treatment up to a chronic state. It is considered that free radicals, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense play a role in various tissue damages, just as in certain types of viral hepatitis. Since only limited data has been reported concerning oxidative stress in viral hepatitis, a comparative study was planned for patients with hepatitis C. In this study, we searched for erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ...

Effect of the treatment of brucellosis on leukocyte superoxide dismutase activity and plasma nitric oxide level
Authors:Karabulut, Aysun Bay; Sönmez, Emine; Bayındır, Yaşar
Publisher and Date:(Sage Publications Inc, 2005)Background: The mechanisms by which brucellae evade intracellular killing by polymorphonuclear leukocytes are incompletely understood. In this study we evaluated changes of leukocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and plasma total nitrite as an indicator of nitric oxide (NO) levels during brucellosis therapy. Methods: Thirty-two patients with acute brucellosis 27 patients with chronic brucellosis and 30 healthy controls were included in the study. Patients with acute brucellosis were tested ...
