During the study, 24 Taekwondo athletes were randomly but homogenously classified into three groups. In 2 of these groups elastic bands (Uguralp® Istanbul-Turkey) with different elasticity levels were utilized while the 3 rd group remained as the control group. The 1 st group used a kind of elastic band with (n=8):1.5 m stress value and 7.25 kg impact value which was particularly designed for the sport of Taekwondo (Type 1 band); the 2 nd group used a kind of elastic band with (n=8):1.5 m stress and 14.5 kg impact value (Type 2 band); and the 3 rd group did not used any elastic bands and maintained their usual Taekwondo training schedule. Each of these groups went on with their training which comprised of a 6-week training period for 3 days a week with 90 minutes a day covering the same number of strikes and techniques. During the pre-and post-training periods of the 6-week long training period, the variations of impact force of the participants were measured for Palding chagi (roundhouse kick), Dollyo chagi (turning kick) and aeryo chagi (downward kick). In order to realize the measurements, Herman Digital Trainer®, which measures and records the impact of a preselected number of hits, was utilized. As a result, it was established that resistance training sessions conducted with elastic bands have positive effects on strike force of Taekwondo athletes (p< .05). The same way, it was observed that through 2 different elastic bands better results were obtained for the members of the 2 nd group (p<.05).

A retrospective study was performed to investigate vertebral body BMD changes in the patients who underwent posterolateral fusion with transpedicular screw fixation at thoracic and lumbar spine. A total of 160 patients were enrolled into the study. According to the follow-up period, patients were divided into two subgroups (group 1, early follow-up, mean follow-up period, 279.3±162.3 days and group 2, later follow-up, mean follow-up period, 969.1±274.2 days). The trabecular BMDs (mg/cm³) were measured from T12 to L5 as screw free levels by using QCT measurement software. Comparisons between preoperative and postoperative BMD values were assessed using paired t-test. The mean postoperative BMD values of both group 1 and 2 weresignificantly lower, compared with the preoperative values (79.2±31.3mg/cm³ vs. 91.5±31.4mg/cm(3), 76.1±25.5mg/cm(3) vs. 89.3±30.4mg/cm(3), p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;0.001 and p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;0.001, respectively). There was no significant correlation between BMD loss and number of fused segments. Vertebral BMD loss was significantly higher in the L3 vertebra when located caudally to the operation site than when located cranially (-27.7±19.8% vs. -12.8±27.1%; p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;0.01). The vertebral body BMD values are decreased at the adjacent of the posterolateral fusion with transpedicular screw fixation levels in both cephalad and caudad sides at an average of 9-months-follow-up postoperatively. This BMD loss persisted, but not worsened at an average of 32-months-follow-up. Vertebral BMD loss was significantly higher in the L3 vertebra when located caudally versus cranially to the surgery site.

Analysis related to body composition was done with bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) method for 3 times in a time interval of 3-month. Lean Body Mass (LBM) kg, Soft Lean Mass (SLM) kg, Total Body Water (TBW) kg and Percent of Body Fat (PBF) % were detected with the body composition analysis done using BIA method. The status of participants' medical histories and the levels of participation in and readiness to physical activity were observed during the process. The assessments were made by age groups for both sexes. Descriptive statistics techniques in data analysis and variance analysis for repeated measures were used. As a result of the study, it was observed that 3-month fitness activities made positive impacts on body composition parameters of sedentaries. It was seen that changes in men were more dramatic, at the same time, the maximum change was in the age group of 25-44 and the minimum change was in the age group of 45-64 in both sexes. As a result, it was again recorded in this study that continuation to regular physical activity had positive results in terms of both genders and all age groups.

Programmed death (PD) 1 and programmed death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) are cosignaling molecules, and the major role of the PD-1 pathway is the inhibition of self-reactive T cells and to protect against autoimmune diseases. We measured levels of serum soluble PD 1 (sPD-1) and serum soluble PD-L1 (sPD-L1) in 67 patients with ITP (24 newly diagnosed ITP [ndITP], 43 chronic ITP [cITP]) and 21 healthy controls (HCs). We determined decreased serum sPD-1 levels both in patients with ndITP and in patients with cITP when compared to HC. Moreover, there was a positive correlation between sPD-1 levels and platelet counts. The sPD-L1 levels were decreased in patients with ndITP when compared to patients with cITP. This is the first study investigating PD-1 signaling pathway in ITP. Decreased sPD-1 levels may have a role in ITP pathogenesis as without the inhibitory regulation of PD-1, sustained activatio...

The children and adolescent period is the critical time to acquire positive lifestyle habits. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of both high school entrance exam (HSEE) and parental behaviors on habitual PAL of students during the preparation of this exam. Totally 319 Elementary School students (154 girls, 165 boys) between ages of 11-13 were selected randomly for this study. PAL of students were evaluated by using the Beacke Physical Activity Questionnaires. There were a no significant differences between attendance and non attendance to extra courses for HSEE in terms of word activity (WA), sport activity (SA), and leisure activity (LA) scores (p<.05) among the students. It was shown that regular physical activity attendance of mothers plaid a significant role in LA scores (p≤.03) among the students. However, WA, and SA scores of students were not affected from their mother's habitual activities (p<.05). On the other hand, there were significant differences in WA, and SA according to father's regular physical activity attendance (p≤.01).As a conclusion, parental habitual physical activity level played an important role in high score of student's LA. It is recommended to monitor and promote parental physical activity.

Patient and stone characteristics are important for SWL success. We evaluated noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) characteristics of urinary tract stones for the prediction of SWL success. Records of patients who underwent NCCT before SWL treatment between January 2008 and June 2012 were retrospectively evaluated. Demographic data were recruited from patient files. Hounsfield units (HU), stone size and skin-to-stone distance (SSD) were measured on NCCT. After serial measurements of the highest HU value (HUmax) and lowest HU value (HUmin), HU value was calculated as the average of these two values (HUave). These parameters were compared between successful [stone-free (SF) group] and unsuccessful [residual fragment (RF) group] cases after SWL. A total of 254 patients, 113 kidney stones and 141 ureteral stones, were evaluated. Mean age was 51.0±14.6 (18-87) years, and mean stone size was 10.9±3.7 mm. Stone diameter, HUmax, HUmin and HUave were significantly lower in SF group when compared with RF group for both kidney and ureteral stones (p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;0.05). We also found that SSD for kidney stones was predictive for SWL success. We suggest that HUmax, HUmin and HUave values are significant predictors of SWL success for both kidney and ureteral stones. They might be used in daily clinical practice for patient counselling.
