The clinical presentation is generally recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax and progressive dyspnea. No definitive treatment option is available and it leads to respiratory failure due to multicystic destruction of the lung parenchyma in the following years. A 39-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with the complaints of sudden onset dyspnea and diffuse chest pain. Auscultation revealed decreased respiratory sounds in both lungs. Chest X-ray showed bilateral pneumothorax and bilaterally tube thoracostomy was performed. Thoracic tomography demonstrated a few thin-wall cystic structures in both lungs with a higher number on the right side. We performed bullectomy, apical wedge resection, apical parietal pleurectomy and mechanic pleural abrasion on residual pleural spaces through right posterolateral thoracotomy. One month later, we performed bullectomy, bulla ligation, apical wedge resection, apical parietal pleurectomy and mechanic pleural abrasion on residual pleural spaces through left posterolateral thoracotomy due to the left recurrent pneumothorax. The patient was diagnosed with lymphangioleiomyomatosis based on the histopathological examination. No recurrent pneumothorax was observed at the end of the two-year follow-up period. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis should be kept in mind in premenopausal women who have bilaterally recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax. Early surgical treatment should be planned in these patients due to multiple pneumothorax recurrences with conservative procedures.Öğe Effects of Erdosteine on Experimental Acute Pancreatitis Model(Coll Physicians & Surgeons Pakistan, 2017) Karapolat, Banu; Karapolat, Sami; Gürleyik, Emin; Yaşar, MehmetObjective: To create acute pancreatitis condition experimentally in rats using cerulein, and to reveal histopathological effects in pancreatic tissue with erdosteine. Study Design: An experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of General Surgery, Duzce University, Turkey, from June to October 2014. Methodology: Thirty male Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups. No procedures were applied to Group 1. The rats in Group 2 and Group 3 were injected cerulein, to establish an experimental pancreatitis model and the blood amylase and lipase values were examined. The rats in Group 3 were given 10 mg/kg erdosteine. This treatment was continued for another 2 days and the rats were sacrificed. The pancreatic tissues were examined histopathologically for edema, inflammation, acinar necrosis, fat necrosis, and vacuolization. Results: The lipase and amylase values and the histopathological examination of pancreatic tissues evidenced that the experimental acute pancreatitis model was established and edema, inflammation, acinar necrosis, fat necrosis, and vacuolization were observed in the pancreatic tissues. The statistical results suggest that erdosteine can decrease the edema, inflammation, acinar necrosis, fat necrosis and vacuolization scores in the tissues. Conclusion: The severity of acute pancreatitis, induced by cerulein in rats, is reduced with the use of erdosteine.Öğe The Effects of Erdosteine on Tracheal Healing in Rats(Wroclaw Medical Univ, 2011) Karapolat, Sami; Gezer, Suat; Yıldırım, Ümran; Dumlu, Talha; Karapolat, Banu; Özaydın, İsmet; Kandiş, HayatiBackground. Proliferating scar tissue and strictures, which are still serious problems of tracheal surgery, are caused by an inflammatory reaction with subsequent edema and granulation tissue. Tracheal stenosis leads to severe morbidity and multiple surgical operations are sometimes needed in those patients. Objectives. To assess the effect of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory drug Erdosteine to prevent tracheal stenosis in a rat model. Material and Methods. Fourteen female adult Wistar albino rats were divided into two groups, a control group (Group A, n = 7) and an Erdosteine group (Group B, n = 7). Under general anesthesia, the tracheas were incised vertically, extending from the 3(rd) to the 5(th) cartilaginous rings and closed primarily with absorbable sutures. Group A had 0.5 cc/day 0.9% NaCl, and Group B had 10 mg/kg/day Erdosteine, both administered by gavages and maintained for 10 days. At the end of the procedure, the rats were sacrificed and their tracheas were excised from cricoid cartilage to carina. The specimens were histologically evaluated using light microscopy and scored for inflammatory cell infiltration, angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation, collagen deposition, and epithelial regeneration. All of the results were statistically analyzed and a value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results. There were only meaningful differences in epithelial regeneration (p = 0.001), displaying that epithelial regeneration was better in Group B. However, the differences in inflammatory cell infiltration, angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition did not reach statistical significance. Conclusions. The severity of pathological changes forming in the tissue after tracheal surgery could not be reduced with Erdosteine use. Thus, Erdosteine does not seem to be an applicable preventive treatment agent for possible postsurgical tracheal stenosis (Adv Clin Exp Med 2011, 20, 1, 31-37).Öğe Effects of Urtica dioica on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats(Hospital Clinicas, Univ Sao Paulo, 2010) Kandiş, Hayati; Karapolat, Sami; Yıldırım, Ümran; Sarıtaş, Ayhan; Gezer, Suat; Memişoğulları, RamazanOBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of Urtica dioica on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS: Thirty adult male Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups: sham group (group 1), control group (group 2), and Urtica dioica group (group 3). All the rats were exposed to hepatic ischemia for 60 min, followed by 60 min of reperfusion. In group 2, a total of 2 ml/kg 0.9% saline solution was given intraperitoneally. In group 3, a total of 2 ml/kg Urtica dioica was given intraperitoneally. At the end of the procedure, liver tissue and blood samples were taken from all rats. Serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, ceruloplasmin, catalase, paraoxonase, arylesterase, and lipid hydroperoxide levels were measured. Liver tissue histopathologies were also evaluated by light microscopy. RESULTS: Serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase levels were significantly higher in group 2 than in group 1, and significantly lower in group 3 than in group 2. Also, group 2 had higher serum lipid hydroperoxides and ceruloplasmin levels but lower catalase, paraoxonase, and arylesterase levels than group 1. In group 3, serum lipid hydroperoxides and ceruloplasmin levels were significantly lower, and catalase, paraoxonase, and arylesterase levels were higher than those in group 2. Histopathological examination showed that liver tissue damage was significantly decreased in group 3 compared with group 2. CONCLUSIONS: Urtica dioica has a protective effect on the liver in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion-injured rats.Öğe Entübasyon Sonrası Gelien Trakeal StenozunAnestezi Yönetimi ve Cerrahi Prosedürü(2013) Erbaş, Mesut; Ateş, Hakan; Gezer, Suat; Karapolat, Sami; Aydın, Leyla Yılmaz; Öztürk, Ömür; Demiraran, YavuzEndotrakeal tüp veya trakeostomi kanüllerinin kafları fazla volümde hava ile i irildikleri takdirde temas halinde oldukları hava yollarına basınç uygulayarak mukozada travmaya yol açmaktadırlar.

In Turkey; accidents arising from motorized vehicles, named Pat-Pat, which are used by farmers in the Western Black Sea region is not unusual. Methods: One hundred five patients who were brought into the Emergency Department of Duzce University, Medical Faculty Hospital between September 2009 and August 2010 due to Pat-Pat related accidents were evaluated. Results: The cases consisted of 73 (69.5%) males and 32 (30.5%) females, ranging from 2 to 73 years of age. In the 10-39 age group, a total of 63 (60.0%) cases were determined. The months when the greatest rate of cases applied to the hospital consisted of July, August, September and the season is summer. The cases were exposed to trauma in roads in 54 (51.4%), and 51 (48.6%) occurred in agricultural area without roads. Eighty seven (82.9%) cases were injured due to the overturning of vehicle. The patients were brought to the hospital using a private vehicle in 54 (51.4%) of the cases and in 51 (48.6%) cases, 112 ambulance system was used. The cases were determined to apply to the hospital most frequently between 6 pm-12 am. The injuries frequently consisted of head-neck and spine traumas, thorax traumas and upper extremity traumas. In 55 (52.4%) cases, open wound-laceration was determined. Seventy five (71.4%) cases were treated in the Emergency Department, and 28 (26.7%) were hospitalized. Three (2.9%) cases were deceased. Conclusions: Serious injuries can occur in Pat-Pat related accidents, and careful systematic physical examination should be conducted. In order to prevent these accidents, education of farm operators and engineering studies on the mechanics and safety of these vehicles should be taken and legal regulations should be created.Öğe Evaluation of Quality of Life After Bilateral Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy for Primary Hyperhidrosis(Wroclaw Medical Univ, 2010) Şanlı, Aydın; Önen, Ahmet; Karapolat, Sami; Eyüboğlu, Gün Murat; Taşdöğen, Aydın; Ulugün, İlknur; Özdemir, NezihBackground. Primary hyperhidrosis is a disorder from which 1% of the society suffers. Objectives. This present study is aimed to evaluate the effects of endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy on the primary hyperhidrosis. Material and Methods. Between February 2008 and April 2010, 30 patients with primary hyperhidrosis underwent endoscopic thoracoscopic sympathectomy. Before the operation, 4 (13.3%) cases had sweating on scalp with flushing on the forehead. There was primary palmar hyperhidrosis in 25 (83.3%) cases, facial hyperhidrosis in 17 (56.6%) cases and primary plantar hyperhidrosis in 19 (63.3%) cases. The second and the third thoracic sympathetic ganglia were bilaterally cauterized in 6 (20.0%) of the cases, while 2(nd), 3(rd) and 4(th) thoracic sympathetic ganglia were bilaterally cauterized in 24 (80.0%) cases. Results. Quality of life was evaluated by Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale in preoperative and postoperative period. Before the operation, 10 (33.3%) cases expressed that hyperhidrosis was barely tolerable followed by 20 (66.7%) cases expressing that hyperhidrosis was intolerable. After the operation, compensatory sweating was never noticeable in 8 (26.6%) cases, tolerable in 15 (50.0%) cases, barely tolerable in 5 (16.7%) cases, intolerable in 2 (6.6%) cases. In order to assess the quality of life before and after the operation, a scale between 1 (very poor) and 10 (very good) has been implemented. It was found that average before the operation was 7 (2-8), while average after the operation was 8.2 (6-10) (P < 0.001). Conclusions. Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy is most efficient treatment method of primary hyperhidrosis for enhancing the quality of life (Adv Clin Exp Med 2010, 19, 5, 619-624).Öğe GERIATRIC POPULATION AND FORENSIC TRAUMAS(Gunes Kitabevi Ltd Sti, 2011) Kandiş, Hayati; Karakuş, Ali; Katırcı, Yavuz; Karapolat, Sami; Kara, İsmail HamdiIntroduction: The lessening in the functions of body by aging increases traumatic injury risk. Materials and Method: The cases of the age 65 and over, who referred to Kirikkale High Specialization Hospital Emergency Service, between January 2007-June 2009, and had undergone forensic trauma were evaluated from the points of sex, age, monthly cumulative distribution, cause of trauma, way of transferring, pathologies, Glasgow coma scale, follow up duration, rates of hospitalization and mortality. Results: Of the 224 cases, 155 (69.2%) were male and 69 (30.8%) were female. The range of age was 65-98. Most of the cases occurred between 5th-8th months. Motor-vehicle accident was the most frequent cause. 178 (79.5%) cases were taken to hospital by private automobiles. Soft tissue injury was the most frequent pathology. The mean score of Glasgow coma was 14.5 +/- 1.6. The follow up duration time was 4.8 +/- 2.2 hours. 38 (17%) cases were hospitalized and followed 5.4 +/- 3.5 days. 8 cases (3.6%) were died. Conclusion: After comprehensive physical examination, the necessary tests of geriatric trauma patients should be done and the follow up should be prolonged. Also, it is necessary not to avoid hospitalization that should be kept under control during the follow up and early period.Öğe Geriatrik yaş grubu ve adli travmalar(2011) Kandiş, Hayati; Karakuş, Ali; Katırcı, Yavuz; Karapolat, Sami; Kara, İsmail HamdiGiriş: Yaşlanma ile vücut fonksiyonlarında oluşan azalma travmatik yaralanma riskini artırmaktadır.

Travma nedeni olarak en sık trafik kazası tespit edildi. Olguların 178'i (%79.5) özel araçla hastaneye getirilmişti. Oluşan patolojiler içinde en sık yumuşak doku travması gözlendi. Glaskow koma skoru ortalaması 14.5 1.6 idi. Olguların ortalama gözlem süreleri 4.8 2.2 saatti. 38 (%17) olgu hastaneye yatırıldı ve ortalama 5.4 3.5 gün takip edildi. Takipte 8 (%3.6) olgu kaybedildi. Sonuç: Yaşlı travma olgularında daha kapsamlı yapılacak fizik muayene sonrası gerekli görülen tetkikler tamamlanmalı ve bu olguların gözlem süreleri daha uzun tutulmalıdır. Ayrıca takip ve erken dönemde kontrol edilmesi gereken olguların hastaneye yatırılmalarından kaçınmamak gerekmektedir.Öğe Histological Investigation of the Effects of Tenoxicam on Pulmonary Complications of Pneumoperitoneum - Tenoxicam Reduces Lung Injuries Caused by Pneumoperitoneum(Wroclaw Medical Univ, 2011) Gezer, Suat; Karapolat, Sami; Yıldırım, Ümran; Türüt, Hasan; Erbaş, Mesut; Özaydın, İsmetObjectives. Pneumoperitoneum increases intra-abdominal pressure and generates oxidative stress, which mediates tissue injury. One of the causes of oxidative stress production is an inflammatory reaction. Taking this into consideration, the current animal study was designed, using tenoxicam before a laparoscopy procedure in order to ascertain whether tenoxicam can prevent lung injury caused by pneumoperitoenum. Material and Methods. Fourteen female Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: the tenoxicam group (seven rats) and the control group (seven rats). The tenoxicam group was given two doses (totalling 0.5 mg/kg) of intraperitoneal tenoxicam, and the control group was given 0.5 cc of 0.9% NaCl, 12 hours and 1/2 hour before the operation. Under intra-peritoneal anesthesia, a Veress needle was placed in the peritoneal cavity and a 15 mm-Hg pneumoperitoneum was established and maintained for 20 minutes; the peritoneal gas was then desufflated. The lungs were resected at the 180(th) minute from the beginning of the operation and were evaluated histopathologically. Histopathological evaluations including intra-alveolar hemorrhage, alveolar edema, congestion and leukocyte infiltration were carried out for both groups. Results. A statistical comparison of the evaluation scores revealed significant differences between the two groups for intra-alveolar hemorrhage (p = 0.007), alveolar edema (p = 0.023) and congestion (p = 0.005) and a nonsignificant difference for leukocyte infiltration (p = 0.114). Conclusions. Pneumoperitoneum causes injuries to lung tissue; tenoxicam reduces that damage and protects the lungs by decreasing intra-alveolar hemorrhage, alveolar edema and congestion (Adv Clin Exp Med 2011, 20, 4, 503-507).Öğe The histopathological evaluation of mediastinal lymph node stations in sarcoidosis(Drunpp-Sarajevo, 2012) Karapolat, Sami; Yıldırım, Ümran; Karapolat, Banu; Erbaş, MesutBackground: Even if the clinical and radiological findings indicate sarcoidosis, diagnosis can be established by showing histopathologically the sarcoid granulomas in the tissue. Mediastinoscopy is a surgical procedure that is commonly used to obtain histological specimens to examine for mediastinal lymph node involvement in sarcoidosis. Objective: To demonstrate which of the mediastinal lymph node stations that the biopsies were taken had the highest diagnostic value for histopathological examination in sarcoidosis. Methods: Operative and histopathology reports of 14 patients who underwent mediastinoscopy and diagnosed with sarcoidosis in the Thoracic Surgery Clinic of Duzce University School of Medicine, between January 2009 and January 2011 were reviewed retrospectively. Results: On thorax tomography images of the patients with sarcoidosis, lymph nodes of the bilateral lower paratracheal and hilar mediastinal lymph node stations were frequently enlarged to pathological dimensions. In the majority of the cases, biopsies were taken by mediastinoscopy from the bilateral lower paratracheal lymph node stations. Histopathological examination of the biopsy material showed severe noncaseating granulomatous inflammation, most commonly in the right lower paratracheal, followed by left lower paratracheal and at least common highest mediastinal lymph node stations. Conclusions: During mediastinoscopy to be performed on patients with suspected sarcoidosis, we recommend that priority be given to taking biopsies from the lower paratracheal lymph nodes and sent for frozen examination for definitive diagnosis to prevent unnecessary mediastinal dissection that might result in serious complications.Öğe Is standard cervical mediastinoscopy still a valuable operation?(Drunpp-Sarajevo, 2012) Karapolat, Sami; Erbaş, Mesut; Yıldırım, Ümran; Gezer, SuatBackground: Mediastinoscopy is a widely used surgical procedure in the diagnosis of mediastinal disease and the staging of lung cancer. Objective: To question the feasibility of mediastinoscopy procedure at a newly established thoracic surgery center. Methods: Fifty patients who underwent mediastinoscopy at the Thoracic Surgery Clinic of Duzce University School of Medicine, between January 2009 and January 2011 were reviewed retrospectively. Results: In a majority of cases, mediastinoscopy was conducted with diagnostic purposes, and frequently, sarcoidosis and tuberculosis diagnoses were made. Among patients with malignancy who had mediastinoscopy for staging purposes, N2 or N3 were determined in half of them. In mediastinoscopy, which has a 98% success rate, 16% morbidity rate was determined, where hoarseness due to nervus laryngeus recurrens damage and pneumothorax are frequently observed. There was no mortality among patients. Conclusions: Although mediastinoscopy may cause various complications in newly established thoracic surgery centers, it is an essential surgical procedure that should be routinely applied to patients.Öğe Lenfanjiyoleiomyomatozise bağlı iki taraflı nüks spontan pnömotoraks(2013) Karapolat, Sami; Erbaş, Mesut; Dumlu, Talha; Erdem, Havva; Karapolat, Banu; Erekul, SelimPulmoner lenfanjiyoleiomyomatozis oldukça nadir görülen bir interstisyel akciğer hastalığıdır. Klinik tablo genellikle nüks spontan pnömotoraks ve progresif dispne şeklindedir. Kesin bir tedavi seçeneği olmamakla birlikte, yıllar içerisinde akciğer parankiminde oluşan multikistik destrüksiyonla solunum yetmezliğine neden olmaktadır. Otuz dokuz yaşında kadın hasta ani başlayan nefes darlığı ve yaygın göğüs ağrısı yakınmaları ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Oskültasyonda her iki akciğerde solunum seslerinde azalma tespit edildi. Akciğer grafisinde iki taraflı pnömotoraks gözlenmesi üzerine iki taraflı tüp torakostomi uygulandı. Toraks tomografisinde sağda daha fazla olmak üzere her iki akciğerde yerleşmiş birkaç ince duvarlı kistik yapı tespit edildi. Hastaya sağ posterolateral torakotomi ile büllektomi, apikal kama rezeksiyonu, apikal parietal plörektomi ve geri kalan plevral alanlara mekanik plevral abrazyon yapıldı. Hastada bir ay sonra oluşan sol nüks pnömotoraks nedeni ile sol posterolateral torakotomi ile büllektomi, bül ligasyonu, apikal kama rezeksiyonu, apikal parietal plörektomi ve geri kalan plevral alanlara mekanik plevral abrazyon uygulandı. Histopatolojik inceleme ile hastaya lenfanjiyoleiomyomatozis tanısı konuldu. İki yıllık takip süresinin sonunda pnömotoraks nüksü gözlenmedi. İki taraflı nüks spontan pnömotoraks gelişen premenopozal kadınlarda lenfanjiyoleiomyomatozis mutlaka akılda tutulmalıdır. Bu hastalarda konservatif yöntemlerle pnömotoraksın sıklık ile nüks etmesi nedeni ile erken dönemde cerrahi tedavi yapılmalıdır.Öğe Management of traumatic pneumothorax(2010) Karapolat, Sami; Gezer, Suat; Aydın, Leyla Yılmaz; Dumlu, Talha; Kandiş, Hayati[No abstract available]Öğe Mediastinal masses; the analysis of 28 cases in the western black sea region(2013) Gökçe, Mertol; Saydam, Özkan; Kılıçgün, Hacı Ali; Karapolat, Sami; Gezer, SuatAmaç: Mediastinal kitleler hayati organlara yakın olması ve çeşitli histopatolojik tipler içermesinden dolayı çok önemlidir.
