(Parlar Scientific Publications (P S P), 2019) Mis, Leyla; Comba, Bahat; Basbugan, Yildiray; Yasar, Semih; Comba, Arzu
In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of wheatgrass on antioxidant capacity and DNA damage in rats with renal failure. In the study, 200-300 g 24 healthy Wistar-Albino male rats obtained from YYU Experimental Animal Unit were used. The rats were randomly divided into 4 groups and each group was formed with 6 rats. Groups were allocated as; 1. Control Group, 2. Renal Failure Group (Genta Group) 3. Renal Failure + Wheatgrass Group (Genta +Wheatgrass) 4. Wheatgrass Group. Gentamicin sulfate was given intraperitoneal at a dose of 50 mg/kg for 1 week and once a day to the groups with renal failure (Groups 2 and 3). Wheat grass extract (10 ml/kg) was added to the drinking water of the wheatgrass group rats (3rd and 4th groups) once a day. This practice lasted for 4 weeks. Total oxidant, antioxidant quantities, DNA damage were evaluated at the end of 4 weeks. The result that wheatgrass could be useful in renal failure was reached.

(Elsevier Gmbh, 2020) Arslan Akveran, Gönül; Karasartova, Djursun; Keskin, Adem; Comba, Arzu; Çelebi, Bekir; Mumcuoğlu, Kosta Yani; Taylan Özkan, Hikmet Ayşegül
Hyalomma aegyptium (L., 1758) (Ixodida: Ixodidae) is a hard tick and the main host for adults are Palearctic tortoises of the genus Testudo, while larvae and nymphs are less host-specific and nymphs also attach to humans. In the present study, a total of 261 H. aegyptium ticks were removed from 26 Testudo graeca L., 1758 in Corum Province of Turkey. The most prevalent pathogens identified molecularly in the ticks were Hemolivia mauritanica (51.9 %), followed by Rickettsia aeschlimannii (32.6 %), Ehrlichia spp. (30.2 %), and Bartonella bovis (0.8 %). All samples were negative for Coxiella burnetii, Francisella tularensis, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Babesia spp., Hepatozoon spp. and Theileria spp. Overall, 97.4 % of the examined adult ticks and 26.3 % of nymphs were infected with at least one pathogen, while 40.9 % of all ticks were infected with only one pathogen, 27.4 % with two pathogens, and 9.9 % with three pathogens, concomitantly. Overall, 80.8 % of the examined blood smears of tortoises were H. mauritanica-positive, and the mean intensity of parasitemia was 4.8 % (1-21). As a conclusion, since the examined tortoises were sampled in gardens and vineyards close to human habitation, and as a rela-tively large percentage of them were infested with ticks carrying pathogenic agents affecting also humans, the importance of tortoises, their ticks and pathogens in terms of the public health should be farther examined.

(Refik Saydam National Public Health Agency (RSNPHA), 2020) Arslan Akveran, Gönül; Karasartova, Djursun; Comba, Arzu; Comba, Bahat; Keskin, Adem; Taylan Özkan, Hikmet Ayşegül
Objective: The Province of Çorum is an endemic area for tick-borne diseases such as the Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever. The aim of this study was to identify the tick species infesting stray dogs found in the surrounding of human habitations. Methods: Hundred stray dogs kept in the Animal Nursing Home of the Veterinary Service of the province were randomly selected during the period of April 2018 and March 2019. Ticks were removed with the help of forceps and placed in 96% ethyl alcohol and stored at +4°C until they were taxonomically identified. Results: The following tick species were found: Ixodes kaiseri, Hyalomma spp., Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Rhipicephalus turanicus and Haemaphysalis parva. The infestation prevalence was 20%, the infestation density 3.3 (1-7) and the abundance was 0.7. The highest numbers of tick were recorded in June and August, while the lowest in April and May. Conclusion: The number of ticks collected from dogs in this study was relatively low, showing that the efforts of the Veterinary Services to control ticks infesting dogs, is successful. This should lower the possibilities of tick-borne diseases and zoonoses which could be transmitted by stray dogs in the region. © 2020. Turk Hijyen ve Deneysel Biyoloji Dergisi. All rights reserved.

(International Society for Fluoride Research, 2018) Yıldırım, Serkan; Ekin, Suat; Huyut, Zübeyir; Oto, Gökhan; Comba, Arzu; Uyar, Hasan; Şengül, Emin; Çınar, D. Ali
This study aimed to investigate the effects of both sodium fluoride (NaF) and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA), both separately and in combination, on some blood parameters and hepatic, renal, and cardiac histopathology in rats. Forty male Wistar albino rats, weighing 250-300 g, were randomly divided into one control and three experimental groups (i) a NaF group who received 15 ppm of NaF in their drinking water for 90 days, (ii) a DMBA group who received 10 mg DMBA/kg body weight/po/ weekly for 90 days, and (iii) a NaF+DMBA group who received 15 ppm NaF in their drinking water plus 10 mg DMBA/kg bw/po/weekly for 90 days. The animals in the groups were sacrificed at the end of the 90 days. The AST, ALT, LDH, CK, creatinine, troponin I, and MDA levels increased in the NaF, DMBA, and NaF+DMBA groups compared to the control group, while the WBC, K, Na, Cl, urea, SOD, GSH-Px, CAT, and GSH values showed a statistically significant decrease (p<0.05). In addition, the CK-MB significantly increased in the DMBA and NaF+DMBA groups compared to the control group (p<0.05). The histological structure of the liver, kidney, and heart tissues in the control group was normal. In the NaF and DMBA groups, degenerative and necrotic changes were detected. In the NaF+DMBA group: (i) the liver exhibited hydropic degeneration and coagulation necrosis in hepatocytes, severe dilation in the sinusoids, congestion in the central and portal regions, and mononuclear cell infiltration in the portal region; (ii) the kidneys displayed congestion in the glomerulus and interstitial vessels, interstitial nephritis, diffuse hydropic degeneration, and coagulation necrosis in the tubule epithelium; (iii) the heart showed myocardial hyperemia, severe mononuclear cell infiltration in interstitial tissue, hyaline degeneration, and Zenker’s necrosis in myocardium As a result of these blood and oxidative stress parameters and histopathological findings, it was determined that NaF, DMBA, and NaF+DMBA induce toxicity in the liver, kidney, and heart tissues and thus play an important role in the physiopathology of toxicity. © 2018, ISFR.

(Parlar Scientific Publications (P S P), 2020) Comba, Arzu; Oto, Gokhan; Comba, Bahat; Ozdemir, Hulya; Keskin, Siddik; Akveran, Gonul Arslan
The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of boric acid (BA) on tumor necrosis factor-alfa (TNF-alpha), interleukin 1 beta (IL-beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6), total oxidative (TOS)-total anti oxidative status (TAS) and leucocyte (WBC), erythrocyte (RBC), thrombocyte (PLT) and their other parameters in rats applied benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P). In this study, rats were divided into 4 groups and each group were containing 6 rats. 1st group was separated as control group. 100 mg/kg total dosage of B(a)P was applied to the 2nd group 2 times a week total in 4 equal dosage with i.p. way. Only BA 300 mg/L was applied to 3rd group in drinking water every day during 150 days. B(a)P was applied twice a week first 2 weeks, 25 mg/kg dose with i.p. way and BA were given with drinking water during 150 days to 4th group. In the end of study was determined TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta levels in B(a)P group, increases compared with other groups. there was a statistically significant increase in levels of WBC and LY in group B(a)P+BA compared to other groups (P <= 0.05). % LY level in other groups was higher; its % NEU level was lower according to control group. RBC and PLT values in BA group were higher, than the other groups. HGB was higher in group BA than group B(a)P and BA+ B(a)P; HCT was higher in group BA than group B(a)P , significantly (P <= 0.05) As a result, neutropenia and lenfositos develop in case exposure of B(a)P and BA; furthermore, combination of B(a)P and BA increases WBC. BA used alone having considerable effect on excitation of eritopoezis and thrombocytosis. BA has protective effects for organisms together with decrease in the TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta levels caused by BA cure as solution of B(a)P exposition.
How long-term intake of sodium fluoride (NAF) in different doses and 7,12 dimethylbenz(A)anhtracene (DMBA) affect the erythrocyte parameters in rats?
(Pas Forum, 2019) Comba, Bahat; Oto, Gökhan; Arıhan, Okan; Comba, Arzu; Uyar, Hasan
This study was aimed to search the effect of Sodium Fluoride (NaF) and 7,12 dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) to erythrocyte fragility and parameters in rats. The nine groups were formed and each group contained 8 animals. Group 1: Control group (without any treatment). Group 2: Sesame oil (vehicle for DMBA). Group 3: 1 ppm NaF. Group 4: 15 ppm NaF. Group 5: 30 ppm NaF. Group 6: DMBA.Group 7: 1 ppm NaF + DMBA. Group 8: 15 ppm NaF + DMBA. Group 9: 30 ppm NaF + DMBA. Fluoride was added into the animals’ drinking water in the form of NaF once a day, for 12 weeks. DMBA (10 mg/kg) was administered once a week and in a total of 12 weeks with oral gavage. Erythrocyte fragility was analyzed with osmotic hemolysis method and erythrocyte parameters with blood cell counter in whole blood. At 0.4% NaCl concentration groups 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9 showed significantly higher erythrocyte fragility values than control group (p?0.05). At 0.5% NaCl concentration, groups 6, 8 and 9 showed significant increase in erythrocyte fragility compared to other groups (p?0.05). The erythrocyte and hematocrit values were found significantly high in group 5 (p?0.001) and group 4 (p?0.01) while it was found low in all groups with DMBA (6, 7, 8, 9) (p?0.05) compared to control group. Hemoglobin amount in group 5(p?0.01) and group 4 (p?0.05) were significantly higher than other groups. MCV and MCH in group 5 were significantly lower and these values in all groups with DMBA (6, 7, 8, 9) were determined significantly high compared to other groups. RDWC in group 5 (p?0.001) and group 4 (p?0.01) and in all groups with DMBA (6, 7, 8, 9) (p?0.05) was significantly increased compared to other groups. As a result, exposure to high doses of floride and DMBA may cause augmented erythrocyte fragility, abnormal erythrocyte parameters and anemia. Therefore, measures must be taken to protect the health of all living organisms in area exposed to high levels of fluoride and DMBA.

Retinol, ?-tocopherol and vitamin D3 in White Muscle disease
(Medycyna Weterynaryjna, 2018-01-26) Mert, Handan; Yıldırım, Serkan; Yörük, İbrahim Hakkı; Irak, Kıvanç; Comba, Bahat; Mert, Nihat; Aysin, Nesrullah; Comba, Arzu
Vitamins are essential for the health of all living organisms. Vitamins E, A, D and K are known as fat-soluble vitamins, and deprivation of vitamin E causes various disorders, especially in the reproduction and cardiovascular systems and in muscle functions. Vitamin A, on the other hand, has roles in various biological functions – like eyesight – and the growth, reproduction and differentiation of epithelial cells. Vitamin A deficiency leads to the keratinization of the epithelium, and disorders related to the metaplasies of the genital and genitourinary systems. Conversely, vitamin D is defined as a pro-hormone and is responsible for Cahomeostasis, and thus indirectly affects the bone metabolism, bone structure, and cellular and neural functions of Ca. White muscle disease (WMD) can occur in newborn lambs, but is more commonly seen in lambs of up to 3 months of age. In this study, 30 lambs of 3 to 50-days-old from different flocks diagnosed with White Muscle Disease (WMD) were selected as research material, while the control group consisted of 8 healthy lambs. With the aim of clarifying the cause of WMD, serum fat-soluble vitamins, retinol, ?-tocopherol and vitamin D3 levels were determined in 16 lambs. Gluteal and heart musclet issue samples also were taken from 30 lambs with WMD. The vitamin levels of the samples were analysed by HPLC. The levels of serum ?-tocopherol, retinols, and vitamin D3 were foundto be low in the diseased animals, but only retinol (p<0.001) and ?-tocopherol (p<0.0011) level differences were statistically relevant. Macroscopically, Zenker’s necrosis was determined in the heart muscles of 17 lambs, and in the gluteal and chest muscles of 6 lambs. 7 lambs displayed necrosis in both their heart and in gluteal muscles. The samples were analyzed microscopically to reach similar findings: swollen homogeneous pink muscles, pycnotic nuclei, and hyperaemic and haemorrhagic blood vessels in gluteal, chest and heart muscles. Hyaline degeneration and Zenker's necrosis, dystrophic regions in necrotic areas, cc was detected as a severe disease in lambs at an early stage of life with advanced degeneration in different muscle tissues. Deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins was also detected in the sick animals. Control group lambs had higher levels of ? tocopherol and retinol (p<0.001) compared to the sick lambs

(Parlar Scientific Publications (P S P), 2017) Comba, Bahat; Mis, Leyla; Uslu, Sema; Comba, Arzu
This study was aimed to search the effect of barley grass (BG) on the Total Antioxidant (TAS)-Oxidant Status (TOS) and DNA damage (8OHdG) in rat with renal failure. The rats which are used in the study were randomly divided into 4 groups that each of has 8 rats: Control (C) group; injected i.p. with physiological saline once a day for 7 days, GM group; Gentamicin (80 mg/kg/day) was injected i.p. for 7 days, BG group; was given oral BG (250 mg/kg/day) for 4 weeks, GM+BG group was injected gentamicin (80 mg/kg/day) with i.p. for 7 days and BG (250 mg/kg/day) was given by oral for 4 weeks. After from the process of experiment for 4 weeks, blood sample and kidney tissue were taken. The analyses of urea and creatinine were done by autoanalyser; TAS, TOS levels by colorimetric kits; 8OHdG level by ELISA kits in serum. The kidney tissues were examined histologically. In the GM+BG group was statistically decreased levels of urea, creatinine, TOS (p<0.05) and OSI (p<0.01) compared to GM group. In the group of BG was determined the levels of TAS p<0.05 statistically increased other groups. The statistical significance was not found in the level of serum 8OHdG differences between the groups. BG decreased widespread damage to the renal glomerulus and proximal tubulus. As a result, adverse effects of high dose gentamicin application such as kidney damage can be reduced when used barley grass.

(Zoological Socety of Pakistan, 2017-10) Karakuş, Kadir; Comba, Bahat; Taş, Abuzer; Sancak, Tunahan; Comba, Arzu; Sarıpınar Aksu, Devrim; Koyun, Hasan; Tariq, Mohammad Masood
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of surgical and chemical castration on body weight and some hormones. In the present study, 2.5-3-month-old weaned male Norduz sheep were used. The sheep were obtained in the year 2015 from Livestock Application and Research Directorate of Yuzuncu Yil University. The sheep were randomly allocated into three groups each of which contained 10 sheep. The groups were formed as; Group 1 The Control Group (No castration), Group 2 (Surgical castration group) and Group 3 (Chemical castration group), respectively. Blood sample was taken from vena jugularis of the animals before the application and every two months for a total of 4 times for 6 months and hormone analyses were performed. The order of statistical significance for TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) were found as Surgical > Control > Formol (P<0.05). The order of statistical significance for growth hormone was Formol = Surgery > Control (P<0.05). In August month, the application factor was found to be significant only in testosterone (P<0.05). No significant difference between the control and surgical groups in testosterone was noted. In this study, although the application of different castration methods in 4-month-old male Norduz sheep resulted in changes in the blood hormone levels, it was determined that these changes did not affect body weight. In conclusion, the evaluation of the process in castrated six-month-old sheep revealed an increase in the body weight which was similar to that in the control group.
