Publication Fatal traumatic heart wounds: A review of 160 autopsy cases(Elsevier, 2003-09-01) Durak, Dilek; Fedakar, Recep; Turkmen, Nursel; DURAK, DİLEK; FEDAKAR, RECEP; TÜRKMEN İNANIR, NURSEL; Tıp Fakültesi; AAH-6287-2021; ACP-5545-2022; COU-4601-2022Publication Importance of β-app, adam9, 10, 17 in alzheimer disease: Preliminary autopsy study with immunohistochemical expression in human brain(Suamthi Publications, 2019-01-01) Eren, Filiz; İnanır, Nursel Türkmen; Fedakar, Recep; Eren, Bülent; Gürses, Murat Serdar; Ural, Mustafa Numan; Akyol, Sümeyya; Aynekin, Buşra; Demircan, Kadir; TÜRKMEN İNANIR, NURSEL; FEDAKAR, RECEP; Tıp Fakültesi; AAH-6287-2021; ACP-5545-2022Alzheimer's disease (AD) is encountered as an important health problem. It was exposed that in the pathophysiology of AD, formation, and aggregation of amyloid beta from amyloid precursor protein (APP), was restrained by a-secretase group, ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) enzymes. From this perspective, ADAM group of enzymes can be presumably used in the future both as a diagnostic marker, and potential treatment modality. In our study, 9 cases with or without AD in different age groups with various causes of death who were autopsied in the Bursa Morgue Department of the Council of Forensic Medicine of Turkey were included in the study. Tissue samples harvested from temporal regions of the brains of the cases were immunohistochemically stained with beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP), ADAM9, ADAM10, and ADAM17. The specimens were evaluated as for distribution, and intensity of staining. The lowest mean distribution score of immunohistochemical staining (2.44) was detected for beta-APP, and ADAM 9, while it was 3 for ADAM10. The highest distribution score (3.11) belonged to ADAM17. Our aim was to analyze histochemically cerebral beta-APP and ADAM9, ADAM10, ADAM17 expressions in cases with and without a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Based on their staining patterns, we revealed their characteristic features, compared our study results with those of the scarce number of studies in the literature, and despite our limited number of cases, we intended to contribute to the future studies.Publication Road traffic collisions in Bursa, Turkey, during 2003, 2004 and 2005(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2008-05-01) Durak, Dilek; Fedakar, Recep; Türkmen, Nursel; Akgöz, Semra; Baduroğlu, Erol; DURAK, DİLEK; FEDAKAR, RECEP; TÜRKMEN İNANIR, NURSEL; Akgöz, Semra; Baduroğlu, Erol; Tıp Fakültesi; Adli Tıp Ana Bilim Dalı; 0000-0003-3469-340X; AAH-6587-2021; AAH-6287-2021; ACP-5545-2022; JGZ-0807-2023; ENO-6380-2022Aim: To highlight the demographic pattern of road traffic injuries in Bursa and to improve emergency care and health facility-based treatment.Methods: Records of all registered road traffic collisions maintained by the Uludag University Emergency Department in Bursa for the period 2003 to 2005 and trauma files of 1307 road traffic collision victims were examined in this study. A form was designed to document patients' age, gender, type of trauma, time of trauma (hour, day, month and year), type and time to hospital of transport, presence of safety devices, presence of alcohol and blood alcohol concentration, localisations of wounds, trauma scores and outcomes.Results: Of the 1307 cases, 418 (32%) were female and 889 (68%) were mate. Ages ranged from 3 months to 87 years; mean age (+/-S.D.) was 34.8 (+/-17.3) years. The mean (+/-S.D.) ages of women and men were 35 +/- 17.6 and 34.7 +/- 17.2 years, respectively. Trauma was most commonly sustained within the motor vehicle (72.2%), followed by pedestrian injuries (21.7%), motorcycle injuries (5.5%) and bicycle injuries (0.6%). Collisions were most frequent in summer (34.7%) and on Fridays and weekends (48.5%). Seat belts were used in only 1.8% of incidents. In 90 cases (6.9%) alcohol was found in the blood; mean blood alcohol concentration was 139.2 +/- 88.3 mg/dl.Conclusions: The identification of RTC characteristics may contribute to the development of injury prevention measures. Road travel requires extra attentiveness at peak accident times. Seat-belt use should increase, as well as use of other safety equipment such as collision helmets. Shorter transportation time of casualties to hospital would improve outcome. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

Formic acid induces severe metabolic acidosis causing death, and is the primary agent responsible for ocular toxicity. Glial fibrillary acidic protein ( GFAP) immunostaining is the most commonly used method for examining astrocyte proliferation and hypertrophy after various central nervous system injuries. The antigen CD34 is expressed widely on vascular endothelium, including that of the central nervous system and high endothelial venules.Methods: In this study, GFAP and CD34 were immunohistochemically localised in the post-mortem optic nerve head, and brain tissue ( basal ganglia putamen) samples were collected from methanol-exposed and non-methanol-exposed ( control) subjects.Results: There was a positive correlation between the GFAP and CD34 intensity of staining scores in the methanol-exposed group ( P=0.711, P=0.010). Furthermore, there was also a positive correlation between the brain putamen and optic nerve head GFAP extent of staining in the methanol-exposed group ( P=0.720, P=0.008). A statistically significant difference was found between the methanol-exposed group and the control group optic nerve CD34 intensity scores ( P=0.014), but no significant difference was found between optic nerve CD34 and GFAP extent scores ( P=0.05).Conclusion: The study revealed that methanol affects brain putamen and the optic nerve selectively. We detected a positive significant correlation between brain and optic nerve GFAP expression. CD34 expression was markedly decreased by the toxic effects of methanol.Publication Immunohistochemical determination of hif, tsp-1, adamts1, and adamts8 expressions in the brains of alzheimer's disease patients: A preliminary autopsy study(Erciyes Univ Sch Medicine, 2016-03-01) Eren, Filiz; Eren, Bülent; Demircan, Kadir; Akyol, Sümeyya; Aynekin, Büşra; TÜRKMEN İNANIR, NURSEL; Fedakar, Recep; FEDAKAR, RECEP; Gürses, Murat Serdar; Ural, Mustafa; Tıp Fakültesi; Adli Tıp Ana Bilim Dalı; JAC-4250-2023; ACP-5545-2022; AAH-6287-2021Objective: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that mostly affects the elderly population. Recent studies performed in AD highlight the pathophysiological relevance of disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1-like motifs (ADAMTS) genes and their products, namely hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1). Thus, the aim of this study was to describe and identify the distribution, characteristics, and any changes in the expression and immunoreactivity for HIF-1, TSP-1, and ADAMTS1 and 8 in AD brains.Materials and Methods: Nine patients who were autopsied in the Council of Forensic Medicine, Bursa Morgue Department in 2013, were selected. All patients were sent for autopsy to the Morgue Department within 8 h after death. At the autopsy, tissue samples of the organs were obtained for histopathological examination for determining the cause of death. Among these, two patients were clinically diagnosed with AD.Results: Immunohistochemical staining was performed, and the staining intensity/extensity was evaluated using a semi-quantitative scoring system. Median distribution (extensity) scores of the immunohistochemical staining were estimated as 2 for HIF-1, 0.67 for TSP-1, 3.11 for ADAMTS1, and 2.78 for ADAMTS8. Intensity scores were estimated as 1.22 for HIF-1, 0.56 for TSP-1, 3 for ADAMTS1, and 2.11 for ADAMTS8.Conclusion: Our study suggests that ADAMTS1 and ADAMTS8 expressions are not specific for AD. To understand and provide definitive data on all aspects of metalloproteinases, extracellular matrix proteins, and transcriptional factor effects to AD, further studies are needed, where other metalloproteinases and related molecules/enzymes should be studied.Publication The importance of hemosiderin deposition in the infant brain: An autopsy study(Lithographia, 2015-01-01) İnanır, Türkmen N.; Eren, F.; Akgöz, S.; Eren, B.; Çetin, S.; Gündoğmuş, U. N.; Çomunoğlu, N.; Çomunoğlu, C.; TÜRKMEN İNANIR, NURSEL; Tıp Fakültesi; Adli Tıp Ana Bilim Dalı; ACP-5545-2022Background/aim: Iron is an essential element involved in many metabolic processes. Presence and accumulation of iron in various body systems can result in different outcomes. Its accumulation in the central nervous system (CNS) cannot be detected routinely by application of hematoxylin-eosin staining. Detection of the presence of hemosiderin in the brain and cerebellum by application of Perls' dye is of importance in cases of infant deaths.Material and Methods: In this study, brain and cerebellar specimens obtained from 52 eligible infants (aged 0-1 years) autopsied in our institute between the years 2010 and 2013, independent of the cause of death, were analyzed in order to detect possible presence of hemosiderin. Perls' dye was used to detect histopathological staining intensity and distribution of hemosiderin in the brain and cerebellum.Results: Cases did not differ significantly as for the patients' age and gender (p = 0.473), type of the culprit trauma (p = 0.414), death/crime scene (p = 0.587), and diagnosis groups (p = 0.550). In this autopsy study blue colored hemosiderin granulations, stained with Perls' dye were detected in the brain (n: 39, 75%), and cerebellum (n: 35, 67.3%). A weakly negative, but significant correlation was detected between the postmortem interval and intensity values of cerebellar hemosiderin (Spearman's correlation coefficient: -0.381, p = 0.024). A statistically significant difference was found between the distribution scores of cerebral hemosiderin in cases with and without trauma history (p = 0.03). Median cerebral hemosiderin distribution scores were 2.5 and 2, respectively.Conclusions: The detection of a correlation between the presence of cerebral and cerebellar hemosiderin, and post-mortem interval in the age group of 0-1 years, should be interpreted as an important finding in the analysis of cerebral iron. The presence of hemosiderin in the CNS may be a significant finding in the elucidation of infant deaths and this procedure should be carried out on a routine basis.
