    Diagnostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in emergency department patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis
    (CUKUROVA UNIV, FAC MEDICINE, 2016) Kara, Hasan; Dogru, Ali; Degirmenci, Selim; Bayir, Aysegul; Ak, Ahmet; Kafali, Mehmet Ertugrul; Nazik, Emet Ebru
    Purpose: Decreased lymphocyte count and increased neutrophil count may be associated with severe sepsis, bacteremia, and surgical stress. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) may be used to assess inflammatory conditions and surgery. We evaluated whether NLR may be useful in the differentiation between biliary and nonbiliary acute pancreatitis. Material and Methods: Data from patients aged >18 years who were diagnosed with acute pancreatitis between January 2011 and July 2014 were evaluated retrospectively. Patients were grouped as having biliary or nonbiliary pancreatitis. The white blood cell, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts and NLR were evaluated and compared between the 2 groups. Results: In the 225 patients with acute pancreatitis (mean age, 59+/-18 y; 81 male patients [36%]), most patients had biliary pancreatitis (biliary, 144 patients [64%]; nonbiliary, 81 patients [36%]). Frequency of hypertension and mean arterial pressure were lower in patients who had biliary than nonbiliary pancreatitis. The mean white blood cell, neutrophil, and platelet counts were greater in patients who had nonbiliary than biliary pancreatitis. Conclusions: Although the NLR was increased in acute pancreatitis, there were no differences in NLR between patients who had biliary or nonbiliary acute pancreatitis. Therefore, the NLR is not useful in differentiating biliary from nonbiliary acute pancreatitis.

    Efficacy of aprotinin treatment on bilateral blunt chest trauma created in rabbits
    (PAKISTAN MEDICAL ASSOC, 2013) Kaya, Halil; Kafali, Mehmet Ertugrul; Aydin, Kemal; Kocak, Sedat; Sahin, Mustafa; Duran, Arif; Gul, Mehmet
    Objectives: To investigate the effects of aprotinin, on blood gasses, oxidant-antioxidant status, and lung histopathology in an experimental bilateral blunt chest trauma model. Methods: Conducted at the Experimental Animal Laboratory of Meram Medical School at Selcuk University, Konya, Turkey, the study comprised 21 New Zealand female albino rabbits who were divided into three groups. Trauma was applied on the sham and aprotinin groups, which was administered intravenous Aprotinin 20.000 U/kg. Arterial blood samples were obtained from all rabbits at hours 0, 3, 24, and 96. At hour 96 after trauma, all rabbits were sacrificed using the decapitation method, and then blood and lung tissue samples were obtained. Blood nitric oxide, malondialdehyde and blood gas measurements were made. Histopathological changes in the lung were examined with a light microscope. Results: While no positive effect of aprotinin was observed on nitric oxide malondialdehyde and partial pressure of carbon dioxide values, it was seen to have an increasing effect on partial oxygen pressure level. Aprotinin had a partial effect on lung histopathology. Conclusion: Aprotinin was determined to have a positive effect on PO2 levels. We could not find any positive effects especially on alveolar haemorrhage.
