  • House dust mites play an important role in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases. Many factors may influence mite growth. The presence of mites is related to mean temperature and humidity as well as altitude. The aim of this study was to analyze the mite fauna in 5 regions of western Anatolia, Turkey, that have similar climatic properties with low mean temperature and humidity, but differ in altitude. During the period October-November 2004, house dust was collected from 290 homes in 5 different cities. House dust mites were isolated in 67 (23.1 %) of 290 samples. The family Pyroglyphidae (Astigmata) was present in all positive samples. This study suggests that the selected western Anatolian regions that share similar environmental conditions host similar dust mite populations.

  • 아나톨리아 반도는 북쪽의 폰타이드 지판, 남쪽의 아나톨리드-토우리드 지판 및 남동쪽의 아라비안 석회암 대지를 포함하는 몇 개의 대륙 조각들로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 대륙 조각들은 제 3기 말에 하나의 대륙으로 병합되었으나 현생 이언 동안에는 고테티스해와 신테티스해와 같은 고해양에 의해 분리되어 있었다. 북쪽에 위치하는 폰타이드 지판은 고생대 동안에 바리스칸 조산운동과 중생대 동안의 키메리안 조산운동을 받은 증거들을 보존하고 있으며 비교적 약한 알파인 조산운동의 영향을 받는 등 라우라시아 대륙과 비슷한 지체구조 발달사를 보인다. 폰타이드 지판은 스트랜드자대, 이스탄불대, 사카라야대로 세분되며 이들은 백악기 중기에 하나의 지판으로 병합되었다. 남쪽에 위치하는 아나톨리드-토우리드 지판은 삼첩기에 곤드와나 대륙으로부터 분리되어 중생대 동안에 광역적인 탄산염 대지로 존재하는 등 곤드와나 대륙과 비슷한 지체구조 발달사를 보인다. 아나톨리드-토우리드 지판은 알파인 조산운동 시기에 의해 심하게 변형되었고 부분적으로 변성작용을 받아 변형과 변성의 시기와 형태를 기준으로 세분될 수 있다. 남동쪽에 위치하는 아라비안 석회암 대지는 아라비아 판의 북쪽 연장으로 고생대 동안에는 탄산염암이, 중생대 동안에는 쇄설성 퇴적암이 우세한 아나톨리드-토우리드 지판과 비슷한 층서를 보인다. 이러한 지판들이 마지막으로 합병된 이후 올리고세와 마이오세 동안에는 새로운 구조운동의 시기가 있었다. 이러한 신기구조운동은 주향이동성 단층작용과 확장, 육성 퇴적작용, 광역적인 칼크-알카리 계열의 화성작용 등으로 특징지어 지며 이러한 신기 구조운동은 아나톨리아 반도의 오늘날의 지형을 형성하는데 매우 중요한 역할을 하였다.

  • 터키의 동부 지역과 서부 지역 간의 경제 문화적 지역격차는 국가균형개발을 위해 터키정부가 해결해야 할 주요 과제 중 하나이다. 남동 아나톨리아 개발계획은 티그리스강과 유프라테스강의 수자원을 이용하기 위한 수력개발에서 시작하여, 1980년대 지역균형개발과 사회통합을 목표로 하는 종합적인 지역개발계획으로 발전하였다. 본 연구는 반건조 기후 지역으로 관개용수의 공급 없이는 상품작물의 재배가 불가능한 터키의 남동부 지역이 개발계획에 의해 주요 목화생산지로 변화한 것에 주목하여, 이를 가능하게 한 남동 아나톨리아 개발계획의 배경, 과정, 내용과 그에 따른 목화 생산성의 변화 등을 살펴보았다. 또한, 남동 아나톨리아 개발계획의 중심축으로써, 정부의 집중적인 투자가 이루어지고 있는 샹르울파주를 대상으로, 목화농업의 성장배경과 전개과정을 살펴보았다. 샹르울파주는 터키 전체 목화생산량의 37.6%를 생산한다. 이는 하란평원을 중심으로 시행된 정부의 경지정리 사업, 관개용수로 사업, 도로와 농로 등 농업을 위한 기반시설 확충이 큰 역할을 담당하였다. 또한, 목화재배에 따른 보조금 지급도 목화재배가 활성화된 주요 요인 중 하나이다. 관개용수의 공급은 이 지역 인구이동에 커다란 변화를 가져왔다. 관개 이전, 계절적 노동을 위해 다른 지역으로 이주했던 심각한 인구유출 현상은 관개 이후, 관개 지역을 중심으로 한 지역 내 이동과 다른 지역으로부터의 인구 유입 형태로 그 내용이 변화하였다. 관개용수는 국가수자원 총국(DS$\dot{I}$)으로부터 관개용수 관리 운영권을 이양받은 관개용수 조합(Sulama Birli$\breve{g}$i)이 각 농가에 공급한다. 그러나 관개용수 조합은 부족집단(Aşiret)을 기본으로 하는 전통적 봉건사회 구조하에 있으며, 이로 인해 농민을 위한 효율적 경영이 이루어지지 않고 있다. 또한, 이는 농민 자치조직의 형성에도 걸림돌로 작용하고 있다.

  • In this paper, we determine all repdigits, which are difference of two Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers. It is shown that the largest repdigit which is difference of two Pell numbers is 99 = 169 - 70 = P7 - P6 and the largest repdigit which is difference of two Pell-Lucas numbers is 444 = 478 - 34 = Q7 - Q4.

  • Aim: Although preoperative chemoradiatherapy (CRT) has proven its benefits in terms of decreased toxicity, there is still a considerable amount of cases that do not receive postoperative CRT. Oncologists at different geographic locations still need to know the long-term effects of this treatment in order to manage patients successfully. The current paper reports on long-term quality of life (QOL) and late side effects after adjuvant CRT in rectal cancer patients from 5 centers in Anatolia. Methods: Rectal cancer patients treated with postoperative CRT with minimum 1-year follow-up and were in complete remission, were evaluated according to RTOG and LENT-SOMA scales. They were also asked to complete Turkish version of EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire and the CR-38 module. Each center participated with the required clinical data. Results: Two hundred and thirty patients with median age of 55 years participated and completed the study. Median follow-up time was 5 years. All patients received RT concomitant with chemotherapy. Common parameters that both increased functional health scales and yielded better symptom scores were long term interval after treatment and sphincter-saving surgery. In addition, surgery type and follow-up time were determined to be predictors of QOL scores and late toxicity grade. Conclusion: Postoperative CRT was found to have a great impact on the long term QOL and side effects in rectal cancer survivors. The factors that adversely affect these are abdominoperineal resection and shorter interval. The findings may encourage life-long follow-up and cooperation with patients, which should be mentioned during the initial counseling.

  • Background: Lung cancer is the most frequent cancer among men and second highest among women overall, including in Turkey. Cigarette smoking is the most important etiologic factor for the development of cancer in both men and women. Objective: To determine the lung cancer incidence in Northeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey with a focus on clinical properties, cancer subtypes, the relationships of tumors with cigarette smoking and radiological properties of the lesions. Materials and Methods: In a retrospective study design, 566 lung cancer cases diagnosed at the Pathology Department of Ataturk University in Erzurum over the last seven years extending from January 2006 to June 2012 were investigated. The results were compared with statistical analyses. Results: The most common histopathological subtype of primary bronchogenic carcinoma in our study was found to be the squamous cell carcinoma, 46.1% (261 out of 566), and the second was small cell lung carcinoma 15.7% (89 out of 566). Based on our data, an overall male predominance was noted with a male/female ratio of 6.1/1. While 296 (52.2%) of the patients were found to be smokers at the time of diagnosis, 125 (22.0%) were nonsmokers and 145 (25.6%) were ex-smokers. Smoking status was found to have a strong correlation with primary lung cancer (p<0.05), and there were significant differences between males and females (p<0.001). Conclusion: Although relative prominence of subtypes of lung cancers differ between Turkish and other populations, lung cancer overall remains as an important health problem in Turkey. Our findings stress the critical need for effective cancer prevention programs such as anti-smoking campaigns.

  • A case of Fasciola gigantica-induced biliary obstruction and cholestasis is reported in Turkey. The patient was a 37-year-old woman, and suffered from icterus, ascites, and pain in her right upper abdominal region. A total of 7 living adult flukes were recovered during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). A single dose of triclabendazole was administered to treat possible remaining worms. She was living in a village of southeast of Anatolia region and had sheeps and cows. She had the history of eating lettuce, mallow, dill, and parsley without washing. This is the first case of fascioliasis which was treated via endoscopic biliary extraction during ERCP in Turkey.

  • A greenhouse experiment was conducted for evaluation of ecological effects of transgenic melon plants in the rhizospheric soil in terms of soil properties, enzyme activities and microbial communities. Organic matter content of soil under transgenic melon plants was significantly higher than that of soil with non-transgenic melon plants. Significant variations were observed in organic matter, total P and K in soil cultivation with transgenic melon plants. There were also significant variations in the total numbers of colony forming units of fungi, actinomycetes and bacteria between soils treated with transgenic and non-transgenic melon plants. Transgenic and non-transgenic melon significantly enhanced several enzymes activities including urease, acid phosphatase, alkalin phosphatase, arysulphtase, ${\beta}$ glucosidase, dehydrogenase, protease and catalase. Soil polyphenoloxidase activity of $T_1$ transgenic melon was lower than that of $T_0$ transgenic melon and a non-melon plant during the same period. The first generation transgenic melon plants ($T_0$) showed significantly greater (p<0.05) effect on the activitiy of arylsulfatase, which increased from $2.540{\times}10^6CFU\;g^{-1}$ (control) to $19.860{\times}10^6CFU\;g^{-1}$ ($T_0$). These results clearly indicated that transgenic melon might change microbial communities, enzyme activities and soil chemical properties.
