    The main purpose of this study was to investigate the possible differences in the concentrations of Al, Cu, Ca, Mg, Fe, Ni, and Pb in breast cancer patients and healthy control group. One blood sample each was collected from 40 adult female patients diagnosed with breast cancer and 40 healthy adult female individuals with no medical history of cancer. The concentrations of the elements Al, Cu, Fe, Ni, and Pb were determined by ICP-MS, while Ca and Mg were determined by ICP-OES. Statistical analysis was performed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the Spearman's rank correlation test. It was observed that the concentrations of Cu and Mg in the breast cancer patients were significantly higher (p=0.000<0.05 and p=0.001<0.05, respectively) than for the healthy group, while the Al concentration was significantly lower (p=0.002<0.05) in the cancer patients. The Mg concentration in the control group and the patients was 33.60 +/- 4.51 and 38.10 +/- 9.69 mg/kg, respectively. The difference was statistically significant for Cu, Mg, and Al, whereas no difference was observed between the concentrations of Ca and Fe. Furthermore, a positive correlation was observed in breast cancer patients between the concentrations of (Al-Cu), (Al-Ca), (Fe-Mg), and (Cu-Ca).

    Effect of Cow Colostrum, Mare Milk, and Human Milk on the Viability of Lung Healthy and Cancer Cell Lines
    (Dubai Iranian Hosp, 2021) Bursalioglu, Ertugrul Osman
    This study investigated the effects of lyophilized mare milk, human milk, and cow colostrum on both human lung cancer cell line called A549, and healthy lung cell line called MRC5. Mare milk, human milk, and cow colostrum varieties were applied to 6 replicates in both cell lines with lyophilized milk concentrations ranging from 50 - 3200 ppm. The cell viability was monitored by optic microscopy and determined by the MTT test. ANOVA and Duncan's multiple range tests were used to analyze data. The results of this study indicated that the most effective milk type on reducing the A549 lung cancer cell line was human milk, followed by mare milk; however, cow colostrum showed little effect. It was observed that human milk and mare milk had anti-proliferative effects on lung cancer cell line at concentrations which were non-toxic to healthy lung cell line.

    Evaluation of magnetic field assisted sun drying of food samples on drying time and mycotoxin production
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2019) Nuroglu, Emine; Oz, Ersoy; Bakirdere, Sezgin; Bursalioglu, Ertugrul Osman; Kavanoz, Huseyin Birtan; Icelli, Orhan
    Mycotoxins are a variety of metabolic products produced by fungi, which can cause various damages to other organisms. The aim of this study was to figure out the effect of new drying methods namely drying in oven under magnetic field and drying under the sun and magnetic field on the mycotoxin formation for some food samples. In this system, a fixed magnetic field of 300 mu T was used for the drying process. The amounts of moisture in the samples dried with the new developed methods were measured in hazelnut (Corylus L.), fig (Ficus calico L.), chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and grape (Vitis vinifera L.) depending on time. Mycotoxin species within different foodstuffs were determined at trace levels by using LC-MS/MS device under the optimum conditions, and the results obtained from the samples dried with the new methods were compared with each other and results of food samples dried by traditional method. The results indicated that the new developed drying methods cause decrease in the drying periods, and the dried samples did not contain any mycotoxin. This study suggested new drying strategies to eliminate the mycotoxin formation. For the analysis of the results, different statistical tests were used. In order to determine which technique works faster in drying the samples, box plots were obtained using descriptive statistics. Mann Whitney tests were also applied to determine if there was a statistical difference between the drying methods.

    Investigation of in-situ changes in electrical behavior during one day with environmental effects of Spathiphyllum spp. and African violet (Saintpaulia ionantha)
    (Yildiz Technical University, 2019) Bursalioglu, Ertugrul Osman
    Plants play an extremely important role in environmental cleanliness by reducing harmful gases in the atmosphere. Spathiphyllum spp. and African violet (Saintpaulia ionantha) plants are widely found in many countries of the world, decorative inside. Since these two plants are commercially propagated throughout the world, they have economic importance at the same time. Spathiphyllum spp. also has a separate prescription due to its ability to clean some air toxins in the interior. Simultaneously monitoring, the frequencies and electrical voltage values per hour were measured by using oscilloscope for during one day on the leaves of these plants. African violet plant decrease and Spathiphyllum spp. increase are showed in frequency values especially at night and in the near morning. The change in voltage values in the Spathiphyllum spp. plant was particularly reduced in the morning and the changes were clearer until the evening, and the voltage change in the African violet plant was at very low levels. © 2019 Yildiz Technical University.

    INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF SOCIAL DISTANCE ON FREQUENCY AND VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS ON IDENTICAL OCIMUM BASILICUM L. PL ANTS INDOORS AND OUTDOORS FOR 24 HOURS USING A MIXED MODEL
    (Pakistan Botanical Soc, 2023) Bardak, Selahattin; Altinisik, Yasin; Bursalioglu, Ertugrul Osman
    Plants play a vital role in environmental cleanliness by reducing harmful gases in the atmosphere. Genus Ocimum has a separate prescription due to its ability to clean air toxins in the interior. Ocimum has spread commercially all over the world due to its economic importance. Frequency and electrical voltage were measured on the leaves of two identical Ocimum basilicum L. , plants using an oscilloscope for two consecutive days. Interaction between plants was quantified by standard deviations (SDs) of the average voltage and frequency values. A higher standard deviation for these measures means that the plants interact better with each other for the corresponding position (i.e. , adjoining or social distance) and environment (i.e. , indoors or outdoors). The most fluctuating average voltage and frequency values were observed outdoors in the social distance position (SD = 5185.44mV) and outdoors in the adjoining position (SD = 3.01Hz). The smallest variations in average voltage values were obtained indoors at the social distance position (SD = 578.78mV). The average frequency values were in line with each other for the adjacent plants indoors (SD = 0.49Hz) , the social distance plants indoors (SD = 0.36Hz) and the social distance plants outdoors (SD = 0.40Hz). A mixed-modeling framework was used to investigate the effects of position , temperature , humidity and their interaction on the frequency and voltage values. These variables did not have a significant effect on the frequency and voltage values at the outdoor environment. Social distance had a positive effect on voltage values (/1 = 0.25, P = 0.033) indoors. Temperature had a negative impact on frequency values (/2 =-2.09, P = 0.040) and voltage values (/2 =-2.87, P = 0.005) indoors. Similarly , humidity negatively affected the frequency values (/3 =-1.26 , P = 0.033) and voltage values (/3 =-1.74, P = 0.003) indoors. The interaction effect between temperature and humidity was positive for both the frequency values (/4 = 0.04, P = 0.026) and voltage values (/4 = 0.06, P = 0.003) indoors.

    The effects of fertilization on the green tea elements -2
    (Yildiz Technical University, 2019) Bursalioglu, Ertugrul Osman
    Camellia sinensis, which is widely used as a beverage in our country and in the world, has various beneficial effects on human health due to its various components. Farmers use chemical fertilizers to get more products. However, the use of more chemical manure may cause some problems in terms of environmental pollution and human health. Due to the lack of some nutritious minerals in the soil, various manure ingredients are used for better cultivation and growth. In this study, in order to investigate the effect of use of manurate on tea plant on 5 different soils in Rize, the concentrations of 18 elements in the leaves were analyzed using the ICP-MS device. When manure was used in tea, the concentration of Li, Mg, K, Al, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd, Pb elements increased and Na, Co, Ni, Hg values decreased. © Yildiz Technical University, Environmental Engineering Department.
