    Mesenchymal stem cells differentiate to retinal ganglion-like cells in rat glaucoma model induced by polystyrene microspheres
    (2023-10-01) ERASLAN, MUHSİN; ÇERMAN, EREN; BOZKURT, SÜHEYLA; AKKOÇ, TUNÇ; ERASLAN M., ÇERMAN E., BOZKURT S., Genç D., Virlan A. T., Demir C. S., Akkoç T., Karaöz E., AKKOÇ T.
    Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the differentiation ability of intravitreally injected rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rBM-MSCs) to retinal ganglion-like cells in a polystyrene microsphere induced rat glaucoma model. Materials and Methods: The glaucoma rat model was generated via intracameral injection of 7 microliter polystyrene microspheres. Green fluorescence protein-labeled (GFP) rBM-MSCs were transplanted intravitreally at or after induction of ocular hypertension (OHT), depending on the groups. By the end of the fourth week, flat-mount retinal dissection was performed, and labeled against Brn3a, CD90, GFAP, CD11b, Vimentin, and localization of GFP positive rBM-MSCs was used for evaluation through immunofluorescence staining and to count differentiated retinal cells by flow cytometry. From 34 male Wistar albino rats, 56 eyes were investigated. Results: Flow cytometry revealed significantly increased CD90 and Brn3a positive cells in glaucoma induced and with rBM-MSC injected groups compared to control(P = 0.006 and P = 0.003 respectively), sham-operated (P = 0.007 and P < 0.001 respectively), and only rBM-MSCs injected groups (P = 0.002 and P = 0.009 respectively). Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed differentiation of GFP labeled stem cells to various retinal cells, including ganglion-like cells. rBM-MSCs were observable in ganglion cells, inner and outer nuclear retinal layers in rBM-MSCs injected eyes. Conclusion: Intravitreally transplanted rBM-MSCs differentiated into retinal cells, including ganglion-like cells, which successfully created a glaucoma model damaged with polystyrene microspheres. Promisingly, MSCs may have a role in neuro-protection and neuro-regeneration treatment of glaucoma in the future.

    Langerhans cell histiocytosis located in the spheno-orbital bone and the pons: Illustrative case
    (2023-07-01) ÇEKİÇ, EFECAN; KARAGÖZ, AHMET; SAKAR, MUSTAFA; KAÇAR, KADRİYE EBRU; BOZKURT, SÜHEYLA; DAĞÇINAR, ADNAN; ÇEKİÇ E., Karagoz A., SAKAR M., Senay R. E., AKAR K. E., BOZKURT S., DAĞÇINAR A.
    BACKGROUND This is a case of aggressive Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) with an atypical intracranial location. OBSERVATIONS In this report, the authors present the diagnosis and treatment of a 12-year-old male patient diagnosed with LCH. The patient was admitted to the emergency department with left-sided facial palsy, and a solid lesion with mass effect in the pons was found. A biopsy was performed via suboccipital craniotomy, and the diagnosis was LCH. A chemotherapy regimen was started since the LCH sample was the resistant type. The patient showed improvement in his neurological deficit following treatment. LESSONS This rare localized and aggressive case’s diagnosis process and treatment choices may apply to future cases. https://thejns.org/doi/abs/10.3171/CASE22367.

    An Astonishing Extrarenal Wilms Localisation; Spinal Cord
    (2022-06-01) TOKUÇ, AYŞE GÜLNUR; BOZKURT, SÜHEYLA; KAÇAR, KADRİYE EBRU; EKER, NURŞAH; SAKAR, MUSTAFA; TOKUÇ A. G., EKER N., Tas B. T., BOZKURT S., SAKAR M., Aras S., AKAR K. E.
    Wilms\" tumour is a renal tumour mostly seen during the first 5 years of life and it accounts for 95% of renal malignancies during childhood. Its origin is primitive metanephric cells and, very rarely, it may occur in places other than the kidneys. The estimated rate of nephroblastoma outside the kidneys is approximately 0.5 to 1% of Wilms\" tumour cases. In this article, we report on a 3-year-old female patient who first presented with spinal dysraphism and a mass in the lumbar spinal cord with a histopathological diagnosis of nephrogenic rest, and after one year, a Wilms tumour arose in this location. This is a very rare extrarenal Wilms\" tumour location. Here, we report on a case with immature renal cells located in the lumber spinal cord associated with spinal dysraphism and the development of Wilms\" tumour there after one year.

    Pilocytic Astrocytoma of the Cerebellopontine Angle with cerebrospinal fluid Spread in an Adult: A Case Report
    (2022-12-01) KURŞUN, MELTEM; OĞUZSOY, TUBA; BOZKURT, SÜHEYLA; BAYRAKLI, FATİH; BIYIKLI, ERHAN; Bıyıklı E., Kurşun M., Oğuzsoy T., Bozkurt S., Bayraklı F.
    Introduction Pilocytic astrocytoma of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) is uncommon, and its spread to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) at the time of diagnosis has not been reported in the literature. Case Presentation We report the case of a 33-year-old man with multifocal pilocytic astrocytoma diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and confirmed by histopathological examination, and present the radiological and histopathological findings. Conclusion In the case herein reported, we observed spread of the pilocytic astrocytoma of the CPA to the CSF at the initial diagnosis, and early detection by MRI is very important regarding the treatment modality and prognosis.

    Towards development of a standard terminology of the world health organization classification of tumors of the central nervous system in the Turkish language, and a perspective on the practical implications of the WHO classification for low and middle income countries
    (2022-01-01) BOZKURT, SÜHEYLA; Soylemezoglu F., Oz B., Egilmez R., Pekmezci M., BOZKURT S., ERŞEN DANYELİ A., Onguru O., Kulac I., Tihan T.
    © 2022, Federation of Turkish Pathology Societies. All rights reserved.In our manuscript, we propose a common terminology in the Turkish language for the newly adopted WHO classification of the CNS tumors, also known as the WHO CNS 5th edition. We also comment on the applicability of this new scheme in low and middle income countries, and warn about further deepening disparities between the global north and the global south. This division, augmented by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, threatens our ability to coordinate efforts worldwide and may create significant disparities in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers between the \"haves\" and the \"have nots\".
