Say, Y.; Aksakal, B.
To improve corrosion resistance of metallic implant surfaces, Rex-734 alloy was coated with two different bio-ceramics; single-Hydroxyapatite (HA), double-HA/Zirconia(Zr) and double-Bioglass (BG)/Zr by using sol-gel method. Porous surface morphologies at low crack density were obtained after coating and sintering processes. Corrosion characteristics of coatings were determined by Open circuit potential and Potentiodynamic polarization measurements during corrosion tests. Hardness and adhesion strength of coating layers were measured and their surface morphologies before and after corrosion were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), XRD and EDX. Through the SEM analysis, it was observed that corrosion caused degradation and sphere-like formations appeared with dimples on the coated surfaces. The coated substrates that exhibit high crack density, the corrosion was more effective by disturbing and transmitting through the coating layer, produced CrO3 and Cr3O8 oxide formation. It was found that the addition of Zr provided an increase in adhesion strength and corrosion resistance of the coatings. However, BG/Zr coatings had lower adhesion strength than the HA/Zr coatings, but showed higher corrosion resistance.

Benzer, Fulya; Özçelik, Mehtap; Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu
The effects of dietary antioxidants (vitamine E, vitamine C, Astaxhantin, beta carotene) on arginase activity and nitric oxide levels of hepatopancreas and muscle of freshwater crayfish (Actacus leptodactylus) were investigated during moulting. 150 mg kg(-1) vitamine E (VE), 200 mg kg(-1) vitamine C (VC), 200 mg kg(-1) Astaxhantin and 200 mg kg(-1) beta carotene were added to experimental diets. A. leptodactylus with these diets were fed with 2% of their total weight daily, in a day during 75 days. Arginase activity was increased in muscle of crayfish fed the diets VC, VE, astaxanthin and beta karoten but in hepatopancreas arginase activity was increased with beta carotene when compared to control. NO levels in muscle were decreased when compared to control but this decrease was not statically significant. NO levels in hepatopancreas of crayfish fed the diets VC and astaxanthin were higher than control groups. Our results demonstrated that dietary antioxidants affect the arginase activity and nitric oxide level of freshwater crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus, Esch. 1823) during moulting.

Akbaba, Emel; Aydin, Sevinc; Sanyurek, Nesrin Karaca
Vitis vinifera L. is cultivated throughout the World including Turkey which is one of the largest producers of grape. Grape is consumed as fresh or dry fruit as well as used in the wine industry in which good quality of grapes are preferred. Grape is also a part of the traditional Mediterranean diet which is linked to a low risk of cardiovascular and degenerative diseases. Kohnu is a geographically labeled type of grape cultivated in the eastern cities of Turkey. In this study, Kohnu grapes harvested from two different cities of Turkey were compared through phenolic compounds, phytosterols, vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidative properties. The concentrations of phenolic compounds in the sample from Elazig were obtained to be significantly higher as compared to the sample from Malatya. Especially vanillic acid was found to be much higher in Elazig samples. The concentrations of fatty acids especially palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid were obtained significantly higher in Elazig samples as compared to Malatya samples. Vitamin and phytosterol concentrations of the samples from Elazig were also determined as higher as compared to Malatya samples. Significantly higher antioxidant activity of Kohnu grape seeds from Elazig was obtained via DPPH radical scavenging activity and MDA levels. The antioxidant profile of Kohnu grape seeds of Elazig samples could be related to phenolic composition and vitamins.

This comprehensive research has been conducted to consider the distribution of PTEs in the surface sediments of a recently developed Dar-e-Allo copper mine in dependence on the potential ecological and human health risks. Field sampling was carried out discreetly at preselected sampling spots including the natural background, the streams around the mine, waste rock drainages, evaporative deposits, sediments containing Fe oxy-hydroxides and secondary phases. Distribution of target elements (Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, S, Sb, Se, and Zn) showed high levels of crustal elements. As regards, Fe, Al, and S are identified to exist as the most copious elements in the earth's crust, so have the major portion of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the sediment concentrations. Evaluating environmental indices reflected that in general, Cu, S, and Mo have a higher quota of contamination in sedimentary systems. the pollution load index (PLI), modified contamination degree (mCd), Contamination factor (C-f), Sediment potential index (SPI), Geo-accumulation index (I-geo) and Contamination degree (C-d) confirm that sedimentary systems of mining area are heavily contaminated by PTEs and were not found within the guideline acceptable values. The potential ecological risk index (PERI) displayed a high or severe risk level for Cu with a peak in green-blue sediments containing secondary minerals. The results of total carcinogenic risk (TCRs) show that As has high toxicity level and carries a risk of carcinogenicity among children and adults. The TCRs for Cd, Cr, Ni, and Pb with carcinogenic potential are found only in children and they are classified as the prime concern elements that have serious dangers to children's public health. The results of contamination source presumed that the sources of PTEs contamination were principally geogenic along with the anthropogenic sources in the study area. Therefore, the present study has highlighted the implication of human health risks of PTEs in sedimentary systems of copper mining, also will grant advice for prime stakeholders, including mine managers, Environmental Protection Agency, the government and public organizations in connection to protecting the environment, aquatic biota and consumer's health.

Kocabas, M.; Bascinar, N.; Kutluyer, F.
This study focused on the variation in number and shape of parr marks in three fish species of the genus Salmo [S. abanticus Tortonese, (1954), S. caspius Kessler, (1877) and S. labrax Pallas, (1814)] and two ecotypes of cultured brown trout [S. trutta macrostigma (Dumeril, 1858) and S. trutta fario Linnaeus, (1758)]. The brown trouts were collected from 11 streams in Turkey by electrofishing and transferred to the laboratory in an aerated container and then stocked in the adaptation tanks. Artificially fertilized eggs were incubated and larvae were maintained in fiberglass tanks and the variations in number and shape of parr marks in all five groups were studied for one year. The data collected indicated that there were significant differences in the number and size (length and width) of parr marks among the groups (p<0.05). The highest number of parr marks (11-13) was recorded in S. trutta macrostigma. Parr marks on the skin of S. trutta. macrostigma was found to remain stable during development.

Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Yurekli, Muhittin
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of chronic cold stress on adrenomedullin levels and tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme activities in some rat tissues. In this study, 12 female Sprague Dawley rats weighing 200 to 250 g were used. Rats were housed under diurnal lighting conditions (12-12 h) with free access to food and water. For this study, rats were divided into two groups, namely control group and cold stress treated group. Adrenomedullin levels were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. Tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme activities was spectrometrically measured. Tyrosine hydroxylase activity was found to be increased significantly (p<0.05) in adrenal medulla, hypothalamus and heart tissues depending on cold stress treatment. Adrenomedullin levels were determined to be decreased in the cold stress treatment group. The differences of between control and cold stress treatment groups were significant (p<0.05). The results suggested that adrenomedullin may play a possible role in adaptation to stress. Exposure to cold increases the synthesis and release of catecholamines. Tyrosine hydroxylase is the rate limiting step in the biosynthesis of catecholamines for this reason cold stress increased tyrosine hyroxylase enzyme activities. Further studies are needed to reveal correlation between adrenomedullin, tyrosine hydroxylase and cold stress.

Kizak, V.; Ozden, O.; Guner, Yusuf
In this study, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) (162.7 +/- 3.03 g) and brown trout (Salmo trutta forma fario) (160.9 +/- 2.94 g) were transferred to full-strength seawater (36.5 gl(-1)) for directly and gradually (21 days), then changes in gill Na+-K+-ATPase activity and size of chloride cells associated with environmental salinity were investigated and also survival of trouts were evaluated in seawater. All fish died when brown trouts were transferred into seawater directly but rainbow trouts survived 50 - 58.3 %. However, significant difference was recorded between brown and rainbow trouts in terms of survival rates by gradual acclimation. Survival of brown trout and rainbow trout that were transferred in seawater gradually, was 66.7 - 75 % and 83.3 - 91.7 %, respectively (p < 0.05). Gill chloride cell sizes in both species increased at 36.5 gl(-1) salinity. The lowest sectional area of chloride cells was determined at the point of death in brown trouts which were transferred directly. Following direct transfer to seawater, the largest sectional area of chloride cells were determined in rainbow trout. There are significant differences between acclimated and non-acclimated fish in terms of chloride cell sizes and Na+-K+-ATPase activities (p < 0.05). The highest gill Na+-K+-ATPase activity was in brown trouts which were transferred gradually, while the lowest activity was detected in freshwater phase. According to the results, gradually acclimated trouts can perform better adaptation than their directly acclimated counterparts.

Demir, V.; Bin-Shafique, S.
Batch studies indicated that low cost native materials such as loam soil, juniper mulch, hardwood mulch, pine mulch and sawdust performed efficiently as media in bioretention cell for removal of copper and lead from stormwater runoff. Juniper mulch performed best in batch studies was used in column studies. Column studies suggested that the presence of phosphate has a pronounced effect on metal immobilization. This is due to the formation of metal phosphates that have extremely low solubility. The remaining metals were adsorbed on bioretention media of the bioretention cell. Breakthrough adsorption and desorption curves for lead and copper were measured in presence and absence of phosphate immobilization. Copper reached a breakthrough curve in around 20 days and lead in 30 days. Column studies showed that in all samples addition of phosphate also decreased the leaching of lead and copper back to aqueous solution consistent with lead and copper immobilization.

Kizak, Volkan; Güner, Yusuf; Türel, Murat; Kayim, Murathan
The aim of this study was to compare growth, gonadal structure and red blood cell sizes of triploid and diploid brown trout (Salmo trutta fario). Triploidy was induced by providing a heat shock treatment to the fertilized eggs. From the 18th month post-fertilization triploid (TBT) and control diploid (CBT) brown trout groups were investigated up to 32nd month. Survival, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio, condition factor, relative growth rate, absolute growth rate, gonadosomatic index, hepatosomatic index and carcass yield were determined in both groups. It has been determined that the triploid fish showed greater live weight than diploid fish despite the difference was not significant (P>0.05). In triploid group triploidisation success was obtained as 95% and male/female ratio was found as 44.4-55.6%. The red blood cells were significantly larger in triploids than diploid ones (P<0.05). Regarding histological section of gonads, triploidy resulted in reduced gonadal development in female, while triploid males seem to exhibit normal gonadal development. Our results suggest that since triploid females could grow more than males, the growth performance studies on triploid brown trout should be performed with all-female stocks under fish farming practices especially for the production of large size trout.

Purpose: To evaluate the fatty acid composition of six Centaurea species, viz, Centaurea behen, C. saligna, C. depressa, C. urvillei subsp. urvillei, C. urvillei subsp. hayekiana and C. aggregata subsp. aggregata, from Elazig, Turkey. Methods: Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) of the oil extracts of four Centaurea species were prepared. The fatty acid compositions of Centaurea species were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC). Results: Saturated fatty acids (SFAs) in Centaurea species and subspecies ranged from 24.61 - 50.92% of their total fatty acid content, while monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) were in the range of 3.40 - 37.96% and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) 12.21 - 20.57%. Palmitic acid C 16: 0, oleic acid C 18:1 omega 9 and linoleic acid C 18:1 omega 3 were the major fatty acids in all the species. Oleic acid was the main constituent of C. urvillei subps. urvillei and C. agrregata subsp. aggregata with a content of 26.92 and 50.92%, respectively. Conclusion: The oil extracted from Centaurea species is a good source of essential fatty acids.

Nas, Mehmet Salih; Gür, Aycan; Gür, Tugba; Yönten, Vahap
The thermodynamic parameters and immobilization kinetics of catalase enzyme via adsorption onto krill clay were performed in aqueous solution in batch system. The adsorbent was characterized by X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscope and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller N-2 adsorption measurements. The effect of some parameters to the adsorption process such as contact time, stirring speed, initial enzyme concentration, initial ionic strength, temperature and pH were analyzed. Maximum adsorption capacity (q(m)) showed a great dependence on pH and initial enzyme concentration. It was found at pH 5.5, and initial enzyme concentration, 0.0075 g L-1 values. Pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion were used to fit the kinetics data on kinetic models. Furthermore, thermodynamic activation parameters such as enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs free energy and activation energy (Delta H degrees, Delta S degrees, Delta G degrees and E-a) which reveal that catalase enzyme adsorption occur spontaneously and in endothermic nature were determined. The obtained results confirmed that the applicability of krill clay is an efficient immobilizing supporter for catalase enzyme and krill clay material can be used as a very effective adsorbent in immobilization of this enzyme from aqueous solutions.

Heavy metal pollution of waters is a major environmental problem. Due to their toxicity, long persistence, bioaccumulative and nonbiodegradable properties in the food chain, heavy metals constitute a core group of aquatic pollutants. Capoeta trutta is an economically important fish and the object of significant commercial fishery in the Munzur River. Levels of Cu were measured in samples of the muscle, gill and liver tissues of C. trutta from Munzur River. In liver copper levels were higher at Station I (6.15 mg kg(-1)) polluted by domestic waste than Station II (5.48 mg kg(-1)) (P<0.05). The highest copper level (7.25 mg kg(-1)) was measured in muscle tissue at Station II. There was found no statically differences between stations in gill and muscle (P>0.05). It is suggested that ecological condition of freshwater fish and contamination levels in Munzur River must be regularly monitored.

In this study, the anatomical and micromorphological structure, karyological characteristics and biochemical content of Scutellaria orientalis subsp. virens and endemic Scutellaria salviifolia, whose distributions areas overlap, were compared. Some anatomical and micromorphological differences were observed on the taxa; scleranchymatic pericycle layer on the stem, stomata density, distribution of trichomes, as well as the main vascular bundle and general shape of the petiole. The chromosome numbers of both taxa were determined as 2n = 22. However, there was a difference between chromosome length range and total chromosome length. The chromosome numbers and chromosome morphologies of these species have been defined for the first time in this paper. Differences in biochemical content were observed between species. Chlorophyll a (Chl a), total chlorophyll (Total Chl), total carbohydrate and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents were determined higher in leaf and stem samples of S. orientalis subsp. virens than S. salviifolia. There was no significant difference between the two taxa in terms of chlorophyll b (Chl b) content. Carotenoid (Car) content was detected higher in leaves samples of S. orientalis subsp. virens, but no significant difference was found between stems samples. Also, the effect of taxa on biochemical contents in relation to the habitat they live in is given in this study.
