Outcomes of trochanteric femoral fractures treated with proximal femoral nail: an analysis of 100 consecutive cases Korkmaz, Mehmet Fatih; Erdem, Mehmet Nuri; Dişli, Zeliha; Selçuk, Engin Burak; Karakaplan, Mustafa; Göğüs, Abdullah Purpose: In this study, we aimed to report the results of a retrospective study carried out at our institute regarding cases of patients who had suffered proximal femoral fractures between January 2002 and February 2007, and who were treated with a proximal femoral nail. Materials and methods: One hundred consecutive cases were included in the study. A case documentation form was used to obtain intraoperative data including age, sex, mechanism of injury, type of fracture according to Association for Osteosynthesis/Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (AO/ASIF) classification and the American Society of Anesthesiologists' (ASA) physical status classification (ASA grade). Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed at the time of admission and at the 6th week; subsequent visits were organized on the 3rd month, 6th month, and 12th month, and in patients with longer - follow-up and annually postoperatively. The Harris score of hip function was used, and any change in the position of the implants and the progress of the fracture union, which was determined radiologically, was noted. Results: The mean age of the patients was 77.66 years (range: 37-98 years), and the sex distribution was 32 males and 68 females. Seventy-three fractures were reduced by closed means, whereas 27 needed limited open reduction. The mean follow-up time for the study group was 31.3 months (range: 12-75 months). Postoperative radiographs showed a near-anatomical fracture reduction in 78% of patients. The Harris hip score was negatively correlated with the ASA score and patient age. No cases of implant failure were observed. Three patients died before discharge (one due to pulmonary embolism, two due to cardiac arrest), and five patients died due to unrelated medical conditions within the first 3 months of the follow-up. Conclusion: Our study showed that proximal femoral nail is a reliable fixation with good fracture union, and it is not associated with major complications in any type of trochanteric femoral fracture.

Does insulin, transferrin and selenous acid preparation effect chondrocyte proliferation? Gökçe, Alper; Yılmaz, İbrahim; Gökay, Nevzat Selim; Can, Levent; Gökçe, Çiğdem Objective: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that insulin, human transferrin, and selenous acid (ITS) preparation have positive effects on chondrocyte proliferation and morphology and investigate the biochemical and histological effects of these additive substances in different cell culture media. Methods: Human cartilage-derived cells (hCDCs) were isolated from the cartilage tissue of a 57-year-old woman diagnosed with gonarthrosis. Tissue samples were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) and RPMI-1640. The cells' chondrogenic activities were observed. After serial passagings, cells were divided into 4 groups at the end of the 6th week. On the 14th day, proliferated cells were examined using an inverted microscope with x4, x10, x20 and x40 magnification and microphotographs were taken. Living cell quantity was determined on the first and 14th days using MTS-ELISA cell proliferation assay. Results: DMEM (without adding ITS premix solution) and RPMI-1640 containing ITS premix solution provide proliferation of the chondrogenic cells. The proliferation and viability of chondrocytes were revealed in this study in the 3rd group (DMEM solution without additives). Conclusion: It is suggested that the culture medium ingredients play crucial roles on chondrogenic proliferation in osteochondral tissue cultures.

Exploring the role of social media for SMEs: as a new marketing strategy tool for the firm performance perspective Öztamur, Dilhan; Karakadılar, İbrahim Sarper Social-media is not only a communication tool for amusement, but it is also an important part of marketing strategies in business life. This paper aims at analyzing the role of social media for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs); as a new marketing strategy tool for the firm performance perspective. This manuscript is focused on a case study including the comparison and analysis of totally four American and Turkish companies' Facebook and Twitter accounts in terms of the number of likes and followers, richness of content, interaction with customers and the use of language. Within this research, the qualitative method is used in order to see how these companies engage with their customers online and use social media as a strategic tool of social network marketing (SNM). Briefly findings of this study suggests that: the common problems of the Turkish SMEs are related with using formal language during the customers communication process and creating unattractive content lacking richness to attract their customers' attention in their social media activities. Another noteworthy point is that from the American SMEs perspective, they are less effective in using Twitter when compared to their Facebook accounts.

Make Up As a Sign of Public Status Aytuğ, Sevtap Müzeyyen From the birth of a human being, first advised of his family then lived in the society's traditions, religious and political beliefs need to makes changes in the body. Sometimes specific professional groups, the rules can be found in this guidance related to physical appearance. Hair and beard, it is given a specific form of failure or to extend the term of Office, made the body shape to the nails or painting, tattoos are almost as old as human history, based on the method of self-expression. giving shape to the eyebrows of different designs, use a wig, fake nails and physical changes such as wear tinted lenses for centuries have been observed with applications ranging from society to society. Body to show the weaker or different forms of enhanced techniques, "to be healthy" concept for society's good he found and next to the rating's feelings. Within the community, in fact, from time to time and from society to society changing "beautiful" seems ideal for people can be defined as "plastic surgery" permanent makeup to a high price to pay, and even vital to take risks they are willing to do up to radical changes. Cosmetics Industry to meet the demands of people look beautiful, a work of millions of people in the production and sales area with younger and more serves to realize the ideal of looking nice. Both economically and socially, so do many physical changes of great importance "makeup" applications typically only lipstick and pencil coloring process consisting of all kinds on the body is detected as the view covers the change and didn't like the makeup and even of persons who do not brush their teeth every day, their nails and hair done while the application is makeup. In particular, different religions, different forms given to hair and beard are representing the views of their own religious expression is practiced as a method.
