    Association between Red Blood Cell Distribution Width and Acute Pancreatitis
    (Int Scientific Information, Inc, 2014) Karabulut, Keziban Ucar; Narci, Huseyin; Ucar, Yildiz; Uyar, Mehmet
    Background: We aimed to determine whether there are any alterations in red blood cell width in patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. Material/Methods: This was a retrospective study of records of patients treated in emergency units and diagnosed with acute pancreatitis between January 2011 and April 2013. Records were investigated regarding patient age, sex, and causes of acute pancreatitis. Red blood cell width and amylase values obtained from the patients during diagnosis and after a full recovery from acute pancreatitis were added to the records. Results: Recorded red blood cell width and amylase values of 104 patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis were statistically compared according to the time of sample collection. Samples were collected in the post-diagnostic period and after full recovery. Values of red blood cell width and amylase were found to be significantly higher in samples collected during hospital admission in comparison to those obtained from patients after fully recovering from acute pancreatitis (p<0.05). Conclusions: An increase in red blood cell width value is a marker of acute pancreatitis; therefore, we suggest that red blood cell width can be used as a tool for the early diagnosis and assessment of disease progression.

    Diamine oxidase in diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia
    (W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2013) Karabulut, Keziban Ucar; Narci, Huseyin; Gul, Mehmet; Dundar, Zerrin Defne; Cander, Basar; Girisgin, A. Sadik; Erdem, Sami
    Objective: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is an important clinical condition with a high mortality rate in abdominal emergencies due to delay in diagnosis in spite of the new strategies in the management. We have studied the role of diamine oxidase (DAO) in the early diagnosis of AMI. Methods: In the study, 21 New Zeland rabbits were used. Subjects were named as the groups of controls, sham, and ischemia. No intervention was performed in the subjects in the control group. In the subjects from sham and ischemia groups, laparotomy was performed with middle line incision. However, superior mesenteric artery was found and tied in those from ischemia group after the performance of laparotomy. From the animals in 3 groups, blood was drawn at the hours of 0, 1, 3, and 6, and DAO and amylase were studied in these samples. Results: The increase in serum amylase levels was found to be statistically significant in the ischemia group compared with the control and the sham groups (P < .05). The decrease in serum DAO levels was found to be statistically significant in the ischemia group compared with the control and the sham groups (P < .05). Diamine oxidase levels were found to decrease, beginning from the 1 hour after ischemia had been developed, and this rise was found to continue for 6 hours (P < .05). Conclusion: Serum DAO levels were decreased in ischemia. Further clinical and experimental investigations would be valuable to confirm the probable role of DAO in AMI. (c) 2013 Elsevier Inc.
