Publication Metadata only Evaluation of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin as a biomarker in pediatric and adult patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction(2017-03-01) KAYA, CEVDET; ŞAHİN, BAHADIR; TANIDIR, YILÖREN; ŞEKERCİ, ÇAĞRI AKIN; ŞİMŞEK, FERRUH; Talibzade F., KAYA C., ŞAHİN B., TANIDIR Y., ŞEKERCİ Ç. A., AKBAL C., ŞİMŞEK F.Publication Metadata only The effect of intradetrusor botulinum neurotoxin type A on urinary NGF, TGF BETA-1, TIMP-2 levels in children with neurogenic detrusor overactivity due to myelodysplasia(WILEY, 2017) ŞEKERCİ, ÇAĞRI AKIN; Top, Tuncay; Sekerci, Cagri Akin; Isbilen-Basok, Banu; Tanidir, Yiloren; Tinay, Ilker; Isman, Ferruh Kemal; Akbal, Cem; Simsek, Ferruh; Tarcan, TufanAimsThe aim of this study was to determine the value of urine nerve growth factor (NGF), transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-Beta-1), tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2) levels to predict the urodynamic profile before and after botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) treatment in children with myelodysplasia. MethodsThis prospective study included 15 children with myelodysplasia who underwent intradetrusor BoNT-A injections due to neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDOA). Urine samples of each child were collected before and after BoNT-A injections, specifically at the first and third postoperative months. Urine samples were analyzed with ELISA method and NGF, TGF-Beta-1, and TIMP-2 levels were measured. Urine marker levels and clinical findings were assessed for statistical significance with Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and Friedman Test. ResultsA total of 15 children (5 boys and 10 girls) were assigned as the study group. Mean age of the patients was 7.12.5 years (range 2.5-11). A statistically significantly decline was observed in urinary TGF-Beta-1 and NGF levels following BoNT-A injections, compared to the preoperative levels (P<0.05). TIMP-2 levels also tend to decrease following BoNT-A injections but this was not statistically significant compared to the preoperative levels. ConclusionThis preliminary study, suggests urinary TGF-Beta-1 and NGF as a potent marker in children with NDOA, as they decline following BoNT-A injection. Further studies are needed in identifying their special role in assessing treatment success after invasive interventions.Publication Metadata only Intradetrusor botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT-A) injections decrease bladder fibrosis secondary to partial urethral obstruction in the male rat model(WILEY, 2012) TİNAY, İLKER; Tinay, Ilker; Tanidir, Yiloren; Cikler, Esra; Cetinel, Sule; Tarcan, TufanAims We evaluated effects of BoNT-A injections on bladder function and histomorphology in a male-rat-overactive-bladder model, created by partial urethral obstruction.Publication Open Access Super-Selective Embolization of Vesical Arteries with Micro-Catheter Technique in the Treatment of Intractable Hemorrhage due to Bladder Cancer(GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2016-03-30) BALTACIOĞLU, FEYYAZ; Sahin, Bahadir; Sulukaya, Muhammed; Tinay, Ilker; Tanidir, Yiloren; Baltacioglu, Feyyaz; Turkeri, LeventObjective: We aimed to share our experience about the super-selective embolization of the vesical artery performed with micro-catheter technique which was used as a palliative approach to control intractable hematuria in patients with bladder cancer. Materials and Methods: Super-selective embolization of the vesical artery with micro-catheter technique was performed in 12 bladder cancer patients whose hematuria could not be controlled with other palliative methods in our clinic. Hemoglobin levels, blood transfusion amounts, complications and urethral catheter removal duration before and after embolization were evaluated. Results: The average age of the patients was 73.3 (65-85, range) years. For the embolization process, n-butyl-2cyaboacrylate (glue) was used as the primary method in 3 patients and polyvinylalcohol (PVA) particle was used in the remaining 9 patients. In two of the patients whose hematuria could not be controlled after PVA embolization glue embolization was performed as the secondary procedure within one week. Super-selective embolization of the vesical artery with micro-catheter technique was performed in all of our cases. In 4 cases, embolization of the vesical artery was performed only to the side of the tumor, which was determined with cystoscopy. Bilateral embolization was performed to the remaining 8 cases. The average hemoglobin value before and after the embolization procedure was 7.9 g/dL and 9.2 g/dL, respectively. The average blood transfusion amounts before and after the procedure were 4 (2-15) and 2.3 (1-4) units erythrocyte/whole blood, respectively. The average urethral catheter duration after the procedure was 7 (2-16) days in 10 patients, who were treated one single embolization session. Urethral catheters were removed once the hematuria dissolved completely. There were no major complications or mortality related to the treatment after the embolization procedure. Conclusion: Super-selective embolization of the vesical artery performed with micro-catheter technique is a safe and effective alternative in patients with intractable hematuria due to bladder cancer whose hematuria could not be controlled with other palliative methods.Publication Metadata only Safety and Efficacy of Retropubic or Transobturator Midurethral Slings in a Randomized Cohort of Turkish Women(KARGER, 2014) TARCAN, TUFAN; Tarcan, Tufan; Mangir, Naside; Sahan, Ahmet; Tanidir, Yiloren; Sulukaya, Muhammed; Ilker, YalcinObjective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of retropubic (RP) or transobturator (TO) midurethral slings (MUS) in a prospective randomized cohort of Turkish women. Patients and Methods: A total of 54 women with urodynamic stress urinary incontinence (SUI) were randomized to undergo either RP or TO MUS between August 2006 and February 2013 in a tertiary referral center by a single surgeon. All patients had history, physical examination, urodynamic evaluation and quality of life assessments. The validated Turkish versions of the SEAPI, ICIQ-SF and OAB-V8 questionnaires were used. The Advantage (R) RP and the Obtryx (R) TO MUS Systems were used for all RP and TO procedures. Results: Twenty-seven patients were randomized to each group. The median follow-up was 48.5 +/- 21.8 months. The median hospital stay was 24.0 +/- 4.8 h and median operative time was 35.0 +/- 19.9 min. The overall objective and subjective cure rates were 92.6 and 79.6%, respectively. The quality of life of all patients significantly increased after the operation compared to their preoperative status. Patients with a poorer subjective cure rate were those with mixed urinary incontinence, whose preoperative SEAPI and OAB-V8 scores were significantly higher. Conclusion: MUS surgery is highly effective and could safely be performed in a cohort of Turkish women with SUI in subspecialty centers by experienced surgeons. There is no significant difference between RP or TO applications in terms of safety and efficacy. Further studies with long-term follow-up data are required. (C) 2014 S. Karger AG, BaselPublication Open Access Radical Prostatectomy is a Valuable Treatment Alternative in Patients with High-Risk Prostate Cancer(GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2015-09-05) TİNAY, İLKER; Mangir, Naside; Top, Tuncay; Tinay, Ilker; Tanidir, Yiloren; Turkeri, LeventObjective To review the high-risk prostate cancer (PCa) patient database with special emphasis on the role of radical prostatectomy (RP) in comparison to external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). Materials and Methods A total of 102 patients with complete and long-term follow-up data were included. High-risk PCa was defined as: a pre-treatment PSA level of >= 20 ng/mL and/or a primary Gleason score of >= 4 and/or clinical stage >= T3N0M0 disease. A total of 45 (42.5%) patients underwent radical RP with extended pelvic lymphadenectomy for-high risk PCa and a total of 57 (53.8%) patients received EBRT. Results The mean overall survival (mean survival 95.2 vs. 129.2 months, log rank p=0.73) and cancer-specific survival (mean survival 104 vs. 151.4 months, log rank p=0.35) were not significantly different between RP and EBRT groups. Univariate analysis of variables that may affect overall survival showed no significant effect of pre-treatment PSA, Gleason score, clinical stage or type of therapy. The only factor which reached statistical significance was patient age (p=0.002). Multivariate analysis of variables also showed no significant effect of pre-treatment PSA, Gleason score, clinical stage or type of therapy and, again, the only factor which reached statistical significance was patient age (p=0.012). Conclusion Radical prostatectomy appears to be an effective and a non-inferior treatment option in patients with high-risk localized PCa with acceptable overall and cancer-specific survival compared to RT. Therefore, as the guidelines suggest, it should be provided as an option during patient consultation for a proper informed decision-making.Publication Metadata only The effect of doxazosin and sildenafil citrate combination on bladder tissue contractility, alpha adrenergic receptor, and iNOS subtype expression in a male rat model of partially bladder outlet obstruction(WILEY, 2017) TİNAY, İLKER; Gumrah, Abdulkadir; Tanidir, Yiloren; Tinay, Ilker; Ozyurek, Mustafa; Tarcan, TufanAimsOur aim was to investigate the effects of doxazosin, sildenafil, and their combination on bladder tissue contractility and adrenergic receptor (AR) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression utilizing a male rat model of partial urethral obstruction (PUO). MethodsThirty male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into five groups. Except the SHAM group, all animals in remaining four groups underwent surgery for PUO. No further treatment was given to the first group (NT group). Remaining three groups received 6 weeks of treatment with 20mg/kg doxazosin (D group), 20mg/kg sildenafil (S group), 20mg/kg doxazosin, and 20mg/kg sildenafil combination (DS group), respectively via oral gavage. Then, bladder strips were harvested from each animal for isometric tension studies and for real time polymerase chain reaction studies of both AR subtypes and iNOS mRNA. ResultsContractile responses to carbachol and electrical field stimulation at various concentrations/frequencies showed a significant increase after PUO. Any treatment helped to normalize these increased responses. Alpha 1a and 1d AR subtype expressions were found to be down- and up-regulated, respectively, in every group with PUO, compared to SHAM group. iNOS expression was similar in D and NT groups and significantly increased in S and DS groups. ConclusionsContractile changes of rat bladder tissue due to PUO were prevented by sildenafil or doxazosin alone or in combination where combination treatment did not provide any additional advantage. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of phosphodiesterase inhibitors and combination treatment in the treatment of LUTS.Publication Metadata only Effects of platelet-rich plasma against experimental ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat testis(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2017) YARAT, AYŞEN; Sekerci, C. A.; Tanidir, Y.; Sener, T. E.; Sener, G.; Cevik, O.; Yarat, A.; Alev-Tuzuner, B.; Cetinel, S.; Kervancioglu, E.; Sahan, A.; Akbal, C.Background Testicular torsion is a common problem and, to date, there is no agent to preserve testicular function following detorsion. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), with its rich growth factor composition, has proven beneficial in regenerative therapy. It is believed that PRP has not been studied in testis for ischemia/ reperfusion (I/R) injury. Objective This study investigated the effect of PRP in an I/R rat model 1 month after detorsion. Study design Of 24 adult male Spraguee-Dawley rats, 18 were randomly assigned into three groups, with six in each: control, I/R and I/R + PRP. The PRP was prepared from the remaining six. Each group underwent right orchiectomy. Ischemia was performed by rotating the left testis 720 degrees and fixing with a nylon suture for 4 h. Reperfusion occurred 4 h later by removing the suture, and PRP was administered at a dose of 10 ml (2000 x 10(9)/l) into the left testis via the intra-parenchymal route. Animals were sacrificed at the fourth week, and testes were taken for malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), myeloperoxidase (MPO), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), and caspase-3 measurements. Results Ischemia/reperfusion caused a significant increase in MDA, MPO and caspase-3 activity, and significant decrease in GSH levels and SOD activity. The PRP treatment helped correct the alterations in SOD, caspase-3, and MPO activities and MDA levels. However, the mean MDA level and MPO activity were not totally restored compared with the controls. Serum testosterone levels of the I/R group were significantly lower compared with the control and I/R + PRP groups. TGF-b and caspase-3 protein expressions were significantly higher in the I/R group compared with the control group and were low with PRP administration compared with I/R groups (summary Table). Discussion The findings of the present study suggest that PRP, by inhibiting neutrophil infiltration and oxidative stress and increasing antioxidant defense, exerts protective effects on testicular tissues against I/R. This study had some limitations: a scoring system was not used in the assessment of spermatogenesis in the histopathological findings and specific testis cell types were not histologically assessed. Conclusions In light of the biochemical, histological and, especially, hormonal findings, intraparenchymal PRP injection may have a protective effect in testicular tissue against I/R injury.Publication Metadata only Turkish version of the Ureteral Stent Symptoms Questionnaire: linguistic and psychometric validation(SPRINGER, 2017) TANIDIR, YILÖREN; Tanidir, Yiloren; Mangir, Naside; Sahan, Ahmet; Sulukaya, MuhammedPurpose Ureteric stents are frequently used in urology practice and can cause significant impairment in quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study was to validate the Ureteral Stent Symptoms Questionnaire (USSQ) to be used in the evaluation of stent-related symptoms and impairment in QoL in Turkish-speaking patients. Methods After linguistic validation of the original USSQ into Turkish language, the Turkish version of the USSQ (T-USSQ) was self-administered to all participants at week 1 and 4 after stent placement for test-retest reliability and internal consistency and at week 8 (4 weeks after stent removal) for sensitivity to change analysis. Control patients completed the form only once. Additionally male and female patients completed the validated Turkish versions of International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Marmara Overactive Bladder (mOAB) Symptom Scores, respectively. Results A total of 68 patients with ureteral stents and 37 controls were available for the final analysis. The Cronbach's alpha value was higher than 0.7 at week 1 for all sub-domains except additional problems domain. The test-retest reliability of the T-USSQ was high for all subdomains except the additional problems domain. Relatively high correlation coefficients were found for the visual analog scale for pain, IPSS (for males), mOAB score (for females) with the corresponding USSQ domains, suggesting good convergent validity. Also the T-USSQ could effectively differentiate between patients and controls. Conclusions The T-USSQ is a reliable and robust instrument that can be self-administered to patients of Turkish population with ureteral stent in the clinical applications.Publication Metadata only Tam gün yasasinin üroloji̇ alanindaki̇ akademi̇k üretkenli̇ğe olan etki̇si̇(2016-11-06) ŞAHİN, BAHADIR; ŞENER, TARIK EMRE; TANIDIR, YILÖREN; TİNAY, İLKER; ŞAHİN B., ŞENER T.
