    Enhancing the potential of employing thermosetting powder recyclates as filler in LLDPE by structural modifications

    Kismet, Yilmaz; Wagner, Manfred H.

    Potential of using powder coating recyclates as filler material for polyethylene compounds was investigated. Due to their strong adhesion to the metal surface during compounding at extrusion temperatures higher than 100 degrees C, the coating powder recyclates were chemically modified to facilitate its processing by extrusion and injection molding at higher temperatures. For this purpose, the coating powder recyclates were first hydrolyzed with addition of an alcohol as swelling agent. The deactivated recyclates were mixed at different ratios with the matrix polymer, a linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). The mixtures obtained were then compounded by extrusion and subsequently injection molded to plates to produce specimens for testing. The resulting samples were characterized mechanically by tensile, bending, and impact strength tests. In summary, the powder coatings recyclates can be processed as filler for thermoplastic material, without any adhesion problems up to 160 degrees C and 180 degrees C in the extruder and in the injection molding machine, respectively.

    COMPARATIVE MICROMORPHOLOGY AND ANATOMY OF CHRYSOCHAMELA (FENZL) BOISS. (CRUCIFERAE) GROWING IN TURKEY

    Çakilcioglu, Ugur; Paksoy, Mehmet Y.; Babacan, Ebru Yuce; Polat, Ridvan

    The micromorphological and anatomical characteristics of three species of Chrysochamela genus have been comparatively presented by using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The micromorphological studies are related to the epidermal and seed surface. In anatomical studies, cross sections of the stems and leaves were examined and biometric measurement of cell and tissues were made. The stem and leaf anatomy of the genus were described. In addition, the stomatal index rate and stomatal index of these species were calculated. The leaf is dorsiventral in mesophyll-type. Except its C. noeana taxon, stellate trichomas are coincided in other taxon. Stoma can be observed on both sides of the leaf. Whereas stoma index rates of this genus were found in the range of 0.7 - 1.2, stoma types were observed as aniocytic and anomocytic. Seed surface of the genus can be found in reticulate, verrucae or in verrucaerugose types. In conclusion, the presence/absence of trichome over stem and leaves, the presence/absence of collenchyma in middle the vascular region, the seed shape, epidermal cell shape, and the characteristics of anticlinal boundaries and periclinal cell walls were found to be the important characters for identification of the Chrysochamela genus.

    SEASONAL CHANGES IN ANTIOXIDANT DEFENCE SYSTEM ON BROWN TROUT (SALMO SP.) IN MUNZUR STREAM

    Can, Erkan; Cikcikoglu-Yildirim, Nuran; Erdogan, Devrim

    The aim of the present study was to evaluate the oxidant and antioxidant status of the indigenous brown trout (Salmo sp.) caught from Munzur stream (Tunceli, Turkey) at different seasons in different tissues. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant status (TAS) and total oxidant status (TOS) levels were measured. These measurements were read in a microplate reader using commercial kits with ELISA method. At the end of the study, significant variations of oxidative stress biomarkers were observed between seasons and tissues. The results of this study show that oxidative stress responses in tissues of Salmo sp. are sensitive to the tissues and the seasons in relation to the contaminants, climatic parameters and reproductive period in Munzur stream. The selected parameters are in valuable biomarkers for monitoring of water systems since at molecular levels they give an early warning signal of xenobiotics on aquatic organisms. It was concluded that the measurement of antioxidants biomarkers known such as SOD, CAT and GSH-Px activities, TAS and TOS levels may also be promising indicators of an oxidant impact on aquatic organisms.

    THE ROLE OF GLUTATHIONE IN THE DETOXIFICATION OF PERCHLOROETHYLENE

    Sahilli, Yeliz Cakir

    Environmental factors have important roles in the development of cancer. Especially, the exposure of chemicals existing in the workplace with people is a very important issue. People at such places are exposed to chemicals more especially via respiratory and dermal route. Thus, their health is under the risk. Dry cleaning centers are intensively subjected to PCE, which is a common chemical used at these work places, and the risk of cancer is very high for them. The main aim of the present study is to investigate, if PCE exposure results in glutathione efflux from human erythrocytes. In the present study, the changes in intracellular and extracellular non-protein sulfhydryl (NPSH) levels were determined in PCE exposed erythrocytes. PCE significantly depleted intracellular NPSH level in a time and concentration-dependent manner. PCE significantly increased the NPSH levels measured in the extracellular media. Along with the change in extracellular nonprotein thiol levels, significant increases in extracellular glutathione levels were detected. Erythrocyte membranes were not damaged over the course of PCE exposure as indicated by the absence of lactate dehydrogenase activity in the extracellular media. Utilization of MK571 an MRP inhibitor decreased the rate of glutathione efflux from erythrocytes suggesting a role for this membrane transporter in the process. The results of the present study indicate that erythrocytes efflux glutathione when exposed to PCE. In addition to glutathione oxidation, glutathione efflux also contributes to intracellular loss of glutathione when exposed PCE.

    PERSISTENCE OF TWO SULPHONYLUREA HERBICIDES IN WHEAT PLANTED FIELD, THRACE REGION IN TURKEY

    Erguven, G. O.; Yildirim, N.

    This study is concerning the environmental fate of chlorsulfuron and tribenuron-methyl herbicide in a wheat planted field at Thrace Region in Turkey. Use of herbicides containing these active ingredients is advised in the Marmara region in Turkey for cereal agriculture. The study was conducted in wheat planted fields where these herbicides were used. Over nine months, in each two or three week periods, soil samples were obtained from selected sampling points and herbicide residuals were determined by gas chromatography with electron capture detector (GC-ECD) and high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). As a result of these studies, persistence of chlorsulfuron was determined as approximately 1.2% at the second half of June, 2016 and tribenuron methyl seemed to be approximately 1% at the end of May, 2016. The results of the present study showed that chlorsulfuron is generally adsorbed weakly by soil when compared to tribenuron-methyl. pH, organic material, climatic factors and clay content of soil were the main factors influencing the adsorption and desorption properties of the herbicides. The results of this study demonstrated that chlorsulfuron and tribenuron-methyl residues in the soil might depend on their different chemical structures, soil temperature, precipitation and humidity.

    C-REACTIVE PROTEIN AND ADRENOMEDULLIN LEVELS IN CAPOETA UMBLA (HECKEL, 1843) AS NOVEL BIOINDICATORS FOR BIOMONITORING THE MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION IN INLAND WATERS OF TUNCELI, TURKEY

    Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Danabas, Durali; Yildirim, Numan; Tanyol, Mehtap; Danabas, Seval

    The present study focused on changes in the C-reactive protein (CRP) and adrenomedullin (ADM) levels in the liver and gill tissues of Capoeta umbla as biomarkers of environmental pollution and ecosystem health in inland waters of Tunceli (Turkey). The CRP levels in liver and gills were not significantly changed in March and September at every site (p>0.05) except for site 3 in gill tissues (p<0.05). The results of statistical analysis indicate that significant differences in CRP levels were found in liver and gills among sites (p<0.05), but no changes in the gills at March (p>0.05). In March, ADM levels in gills and liver were statistically changed among sites (p<0.05), while no statistical changes were determined in September (p>0.05). The results of this study indicated that CRP levels in the tissues of the C. umbla could be utilized as a significant bioindicator for disease pathogenesis in fish infections.

    A food waste utilization study for removing lead(II) from drinks

    Ince, Olcay Kaplan; Ince, Muharrem; Yonten, Vahap; Goksu, Ali

    This is the first study about removal of lead (Pb(II)) from energy drinks. In this paper, food waste, namely eggshell (hydroxyapatite) utilization, was used to remove Pb(II) from mineral water and energy drinks. Mineral water and energy drinks were chosen for removal of lead since the latter is severely hazardous to human health even in small amounts. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was performed to optimize the application process by practice of the quadratic model united with the Central Composite Design (CCD) and quadratic combined program was utilized to study the most effective parameters on aforementioned liquids. Through the application of variance analysis (ANOVA) factors critical to removing of lead were identified for each experimental design response. Maximum adsorption capacity of eggshell was achieved as 923 mg g(-1) for Pb(II). The obtained optimum conditions were applied to drinks. Results showed that used adsorbent was quite effective in removing Pb(II) from drinks. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Marine Fungi Against Aquaculture Pathogens and Induction of the Activity via Co-Culture

    Özkaya, Ferhat Can; Peker, Zerife; Camas, Mustafa; Camas, Anil Sazak; Altunok, Muhammet

    Ethyl acetate extracts from 70 strains of marine-derived fungi, isolated from sponges, were screened against four fish pathogenic bacteria. Sixteen of the fungal isolates exhibited antibacterial activity against at least one pathogen. All the strains showed antibacterial activity against Vagococcus salmoninarum. Three isolates showed strong inhibition against all test pathogens and they may therefore be remarkable as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial. Nine isolates showed antibacterial activity against Lactococcus garvieae, six were against Vibrio anguillarum, and four isolates inhibited the growth of Yersinia ruckeri. Co-culture of the fungus with the mix of the pathogen bacteria led to the induction of bioactivity in two isolates. Aspergillus iizukae produced strong and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against pathogens with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 0.8-406 mu gmL(-1). The screening results confirmed the sponge associated fungi as a source of environmentally friendly antimicrobials that may contribute the sustainable development of aquaculture. In addition, co-culture technique is a promising strategy to increase antimicrobial activity that can stimulate the production of novel compounds, and increases the antimicrobial activities of marine derived fungi.

    Anticancer and Cytotoxic Activities of [Cu(C6H16N2O2)2][Ni(CN)4] and [Cu(C6H16N2O2) Pd(CN)4] Cyanidometallate Compounds on HT29, HeLa, C6 and Vero Cell Lines

    Aydin, Ali; Korkmaz, Sengul Aslan; Demir, Veysel; Tekin, Saban

    Background: In cancer, apoptosis relevant proteins-such as CaM kinase, Bcl-2 or P53, topoisomerase I, cell migration feature and DNA/BSA-macromolecules represent significant targets for current chemotherapeutics. Objective: We recently reported two coordination compounds-[Cu(C6H16N2O2)(2)][Ni(CN)(4)] (1) and [Cu(C6H16 N2O2) Pd(CN)(4)] (2)-together with their IR spectra, magnetic properties, thermal analyses and crystal structures. Herein, we describe the ability of these complexes to induce apoptosis in relevant proteins and stimulate topoisomerase I activity, cell migration velocity and DNA/BSA binding properties. Method: The in vitro antiproliferative effects and cell toxicity of both compounds were investigated through pharmacological measurement techniques, and interactions between both compounds and CT-DNA/BSA were studied with UV-Vis spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Results & Conclusion: Studies on cells revealed that 2 (i) demonstrated a high antiproliferative effect, which was higher toward HeLa and C6 cancer cells than toward healthy Vero cells; (ii) impaired the migration of HeLa cells; (iii) altered the P53-Bcl-2 ratio in favor of apoptosis; (iv) strongly bound to DNA/BSA macromolecules; and (v) inhibited human topoisomerase I and KpnI or BamHI restriction endonucleases. In conclusion, this preliminary information demonstrates that 2 may represent a promising antiproliferative agent and a potential candidate for a therapeutic approach against HeLa.

    SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION OF PHYTOPLANKTON IN KARKAMIS DAM LAKE (SANLIURFA/TURKEY)

    Sonmez, Feray; Kutlu, Banu; Sesli, Ahmet

    The environmental factors that affect the seasonal change of the phytoplankton community and composition in Karkamis Dam Lake were investigated on samples taken from five stations between January 2015 and December 2015. It was found that the phytoplankton of Karkamis Dam Lake consisted of 85 taxa belonging to Bacillariophyta (56 taxa), Chlorophyta (15 taxa), Chrysophyta (1 taxon), Cyanophyta (10 taxa), Dinophyta (2 taxa) and Euglenophyta (1 taxon). Members of Bacillariophyta and Chrysophyta increased well during spring, summer and also at the end of fall whilst Chlorophyta grew well only in summer and fall. Cyanophyta became dominant at the end of spring and in summer. However Dinophyta was remarkably conspicuous in winter as well as in spring and fall in terms of prevalence. Excessive reproduction of Cyanobacteria, which is a characteristic aspect of mesotrophic lakes, was observed in Karkamis Dam Lake in both May and July. Results of physical and chemical measurements and analysis indicated that the lake was mesotrophic based on PCA and Carlson trophic state index. Phytoplankton composition was found to be affected by environmental factors such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, phosphate and nitrate through the year. Using these data, a strong model was developed for sustainable management in Karkamis Dam Lake.

    Barim-Oz, Ozden; Yilmaz, Seval; Sahin, Hulya; Benzer, Fulya

    In the present study was determined the effects of monthly variability on enzymatic antioxidant (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px)), antioxidant (reduced glutathione (GSH)) and the oxidant status (nitric oxide (NO), lipid peroxidation (MDA)) in hepatopancreas, muscle, gills and gonad tissues of freshwater crayfish (A. leptodactylus) the monthly collected throughout the year from Keban Dam Lake of Turkey. Results indicate that variations in oxidants and antioxidants with relation to month were not only tissue specific but also were gender specific. The levels of oxidant parameters were generally higher in hepatopancreas in comparison to muscle, gills and gonad of crayfish. Moreover, in tissues were also determined the different oxidants and antioxidants responses in moulting, mating, breeding and egg laying periods.
