Investigation of the effect of sex on caffeine-induced brown fat tissue activation by infrared thermography: A preliminary report
(Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi, 2025) Ercan Karakaya, Zeynep; Günalan, Elif; Mutlu, Hayrettin
Amaç: Bu ön çalışmada, cinsiyetin diyetle indüklenen termojenez (DİT) sürecinde kahverengi yağ dokusu (KYD) aktivasyonu üzerindeki etkisinin kızılötesi termografi (IRT) yöntemiyle değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kasım-Aralık 2024 döneminde beden kütle indeksi 18,5–24,9 kg/m² aralığındaki kadın (n=4) ve erkek (n=4) gönüllülerin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcılara 0.dk karbonhidrat jeli verilmiş ve 45. dk’da ise 200 mg kafein kapsülü uygulanmıştır. Termonötr koşullarda gerçekleştirilen 120 dakikalık deney protokolü süresince, supraklaviküler (SCV) bölgeden her 15 dakikada bir IRT ile sıcaklık ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Bulgular: 0., 45., 60. ve 75. dakikalarda kadın katılımcılarda KYD aktivasyonuna işaret eden Tscf sıcaklıkları erkeklere göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksektir (p<0.05). Ancak 90. dakikadan itibaren cinsiyetler arası istatistiksel anlamlı fark kaybolmuştur. Tref değerlerinde ise hiçbir ölçümde istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır. Tscf ile vücut ağırlığı arasında negatif yönde, yağ yüzdesi ile pozitif yönde korelasyon ilişkisi bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Sonuç: Cinsiyetin DİT’e etkisini IRT üzerinden tanımlayan bu ön çalışma raporuna göre subklaviküler bölgedeki KYD’nin diyetle uyarımı kadınlarda erkeklere oranla daha erken ve belirgin şekilde gerçekleşmektedir. Bu farklılığın seks hormonları ve yağ kütlesindeki farka bağlı olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bununla birlikte gelecekte planlanacak daha geniş katılımlı ve biyokimyasal parametrelerle desteklenmiş çalışmalarla cinsiyetin DİT sürecine etkisinin ortaya konması gerekmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra bu araştırma ile KYD sıcaklık düzeyinin vücut kompozisyonu ile ilişkili olabileceği gözlenmiştir.
The role of breast milk in the formation of the newborn’s circadian rhythm
(Sivas Cumhuriyet University, 2025) Yıldırım Çavak, Betül; Mutlu, Hayrettin
Circadian rhythm, also called the biological rhythm, refers to the repetition of an individual's 24-hour biochemical, physiological, and behavioral cycles. The sleep wake cycle is the most basic circadian rhythm. The hormones that play a key role in regulating it are cortisol and melatonin. In the first years of life, breast milk plays an important role in the formation of the circadian rhythm and helps the newborn adapt to its new environment outside the womb. The composition of breast milk is quite variable, and this variability provides the baby with clues about the outside world. Breast milk secreted during the day has a high lactose content, which provides energy for the baby, improves learning ability, and quenches thirst. Breast milk secreted at night has a lower lactose concentration but higher fat and melatonin concentrations. In the case of feeding with expressed milk, the time of expression and the time of feeding should align to maintain the sleep-wake cycle.

Peripheral joint disease (PJD) is the most common peripheral manifestation in spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients. This study aimed to determine PJD characteristics and associated factors in patients with axial SpA (AxSpA) and peripheral SpA (pSpA). This cross-sectional and multicenter study involved 13 different rheumatology and physical medicine & reha bilitation clinics, and patients diagnosed with axSpA or pSpA were included in the study. PJD was defined as the ‘ever’ related to SpA according to the physician. Multivariable analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with PJD. A total of 394 patients were enrolled in the study (57.6% male, mean age 40.8 years), of whom 359 (91.1%) were clas sified as AxSpA and 35 (8.9%) as pSpA. Peripheral arthritis was reported in 118 patients (29.9%), comprising 85 (72%) with AxSpA and 33 (28%) with pSpA. Among the whole population with PJD, the main joint involvement pattern was monoarticular (33.9%, n=40) and oligoarticular (49.2%, n=58). The rate of predominantly lower limb and large joint involvement was approximately 60% (n=68) and the major course of PJD was transient (42.4%, n=50) and intermit tent (40.7%, n=48). pSpA patients had a higher rate of persistent (33.3% vs. 14.3%, p=0.021) and progressive arthritis (15.2% vs. 1.2%, p=0.007). The coexistence of PJD with other peripheral involvement and extra-articular manifestations excluding psoriasis was widespread. Dactylitis, enthesitis, and high CRP level were positively associated with PJD; on the contrary, ever alcohol intake, presence of sacroiliitis on MRI, and family history for SpA were negatively associated. PJD was accompanied by both other peripheral involvements and extra-articular manifestations, excluding psoriasis and the course of PJD was more persistent in pSpA patients. This undoubtedly contributes to an increased disease burden.
Insufficient impact of the aldose reductase inhibitor cemtirestat on the skeletal system in type 2 diabetic rat model

Cemtirestat, a multi-target drug combining aldose reductase inhibition with antiox idant properties, is considered a promising therapeutic agent for chronic diabetic complications. Current evidence suggests that long-standing diabetes adversely affects skeletal health, leading to diabetic bone disease. As the impact of cemtirestat on the skeletal system in an animal model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is still unknown, our study first investigated its effect on impaired bone health in Zucker dia betic fatty (ZDF) rats. Adult rats were divided into four groups: L (untreated lean ZDF rats), D (untreated obese ZDF rats), DT2.5 (obese ZDF rats treated with 2.5mg/kg/ day cemtirestat), and DT7.5 (obese ZDF rats treated with 7.5mg/kg/day cemtirestat), with cemtirestat treatment lasting 2 months. Group D had increased levels of plasma glucose, insulin, triglycerides, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, alkaline phos phatase, alanine aminotransferase, C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen, greater body weight, femoral weight, structure model index, reduced cortical bone volume fraction, cortical bone thickness, trabecular bone volume fraction, and trabecular thickness compared to group L. Cemtirestat supplementation only elevated plasma phosphate levels in group DT2.5, trabecular bone volume fraction and trabecu lar thickness in group DT7.5, but the treatment had no effect on other parameters demonstrated in ZDF rats by macroscopic analysis, micro-CT cortical bone analysis, and mechanical testing. These findings indicate that the efficacy of cemtirestat in restoring deteriorated bone health caused by T2DM is not substantiated due to its insufficient effect on the skeletal system in the ZDF rat model.
Evaluation of the prevalence and location of second mesiobuccal canals in 2100 upper first and second molar teeth: A cone beam computed tomography study
(Inonu University, 2025) Kaplan, Bahar; Adıgüzel, Özkan; Öner Talmaç, Ayşe Gül; Aslan Öztürk, Elif Meltem
It is essential to undertake thorough preparation, debridement and filling of all root canals in order to achieve a clinically successful treatment outcome. A total of 525 CBCT images of both maxillary first and second molars were analyzed. The observations and measurements were positioned 1 millimeter (mm) apically from the pulp base to standardize the methodology for the detection of the second mesiobuccal canal (MB2). To assess the distances between the canals and the relationship between the presence of MB2 and mesiobuccal (MB) root length, MB root length was quantified in millimeters. IBM SPSS Version 21.0 was employed for statistical analyses, with a type I error level of 5% accepted. MB2 was identified in 36.5% of the first maxillary molar (1MM) and second maxillary molar (2MM) teeth of the patients included in the study. When the frequency of MB2 was evaluated according to gender and right-left side, no statistically significant difference was found (p>0.05). When examining the relationship between the presence of MB2 and the length of the MB root, it was observed that only in the left second molars with MB2 present, the root length was slightly shorter. It is our contention that this study will furnish dentists with crucial data that will enhance the efficacy of root canal therapy for these teeth.
