    (2020) Dinc, Bedia; Altay-Kocak, Aylin; Aydog, Gulden; Kuran, Sedef; Akoglu, Musa; Ozkan, Secil; Bozdayi, Gulendam; 32162873
    Background: Several studies have documented human papillomavirus (HPV) in extra-cervical tumors. We aimed to detect HPV type 16 and HPV other than type 16 (OT-16) DNA in esophageal papilloma and esophagus squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) samples and to compare clinicopathological features of HPV positive and negative patients. Methods: Materials were obtained from a tertiary care public hospital and studied in an university hospital for this cross-sectional study. Seventy-six tissue samples (50 papilloma and 26 ESCC) were included. After deparaf-finization by xylene and DNA extraction by phenol chloroform-isoamyl-alcohol, 76 samples were studied with a G6PDH control kit. Forty-four papilloma and 21 ESCC samples with enough tissues were studied for HPV DNA. HPV OT-16 DNA and HPV type 16 were detected by real time-polymerase chain reaction. Results: Twelve (27.3%) and one (2.3%) of the papilloma samples were HPV type 16 and other than type 16 positive, respectively. Eleven (52.4%) and one (4.8%) of ESCC samples were HPV type 16 and mixed type positive, respectively. Conclusions: We suggest that HPV infection is common in esophageal papilloma and ESCC. Due to the wellknown association of HPV with premalignant and malignant conditions, follow-up of these patients accompanied by HPV should be implemented.

    Is Human Papillomavirus and Helicobacter pylori Related in Gastric Lesions?
    (2019) Bozdayi, GUlendam; Dinc, Bedia; Avcikucuk, Havva; Turhan, Nesrin; Altay-Kocak, Aylin; Ozkan, Secil; Ozin, Yasemin; Bostanci, Birol; 31625359
    Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV), the causative agent of cervical cancer, is also suggested as a risk factor for gastric adenocarcinoma. Many infectious agents besides Helicobacter pylori have been associated with gastritis. The aim of this study was to investigate HPV DNA and genotyping HPV type 16 DNA in gastric adenocarcinoma and Helicobacter pylori gastritis cases. Methods: A hundred and six gastric adenocarcinoma and Helicobacter pylori gastritis samples and 26 controls were included. After deparaffinization by xylene, DNA extraction was performed by the phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol method and 106 samples were studied with a G6PDH control kit (Eurogentec, Seraing, Belgium). Fifty-three adenocarcinoma and 43 Helicobacter pylori samples were thought to have enough tissue and were studied for HPV DNA. HPV types other than 16 and HPV type 16 DNA were detected by Real Time PCR using the L1 region. Amplifications of MY09/11 products were done by GP5+/GP6+ primers and Cyanine-5 labeled HPV DNA and HPV 16 DNA specific probe in Light Cycler 2.0 (Roche Diagnostics, Germany) device. Results: Among gastric adenocarcinoma and Helicobacter pylori gastritis samples, 20/53 (38%) and 18/43 (41.8%) were HPV DNA positive, respectively. Five (19.2%) of 26 controls were HPV DNA positive. Conclusions: Our 38% positive result in the gastric carcinoma group is in concordance with previous reports. This is the first study revealing the HPV-H. pylori relationship in gastritis cases and we concluded that with regard to the nearly three-fold higher HPV DNA (41.8%) in gastritis cases compared to controls, Helicobacter pylori positive cases should also be evaluated in favor of HPV in the gastritis group.

    The Role of Human Parvovirus B19 in the Pediatric Patients with Pancytopenia?
    (2019) Colak, Meryem; Kocak, Aylin A.; Dinc, Bedia; Kaya, Zuhre; Kocak, Ulker; Yenicesu, Idil; Bozdayi, Gulendam; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0451-0142; 31850715; AAI-8012-2021
    Background: Parvoviruses are small DNA viruses causing erythema infectiosum, which is known as the fifth disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Parvovirus B19 DNA by Real-Time-PCR retrospectively in clinical samples of children diagnosed as acute leukemia and aplastic anemia when investigating the cause of pancytopenia and to investigate its relationship with the clinical manifestations. Methods: The study samples were collected between March 2014 and March 2018 in Gazi University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pediatric Hematology. Sixty pediatric patients; 37 males and 23 females, were included in the study. Nucleic acid isolation was performed by using MagNA-Pure Compact Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit (Roche, Germany). Extracted DNA was studied with LightCycler (R) 2.0 using the Real-Time PCR method and LightCycler (R) Parvovirus B19 Quantification Kit (Roche, Germany), and the results were evaluated quantitatively. Parvovirus B19 DNA detection interval of the kit was 10(1) - 10(6) copies/mL. Results: Sixty serum samples were investigated and 8.3% (5/60) Parvovirus B19 DNA positivity was determined. Of the five patients with Parvovirus B19 DNA positivity, three had acute lymphoblastic leukemia and two were diagnosed as aplastic anemia. Regarding viral load; 2/5, 1/5, 1/5, and 1/5 of the samples had a viral load of 10(2), 10(3), 104, and 105 copies/mL, respectively. Parvovirus B19 DNA positivity was detected in samples from March (2/5), April (2/5), and August (1/5). Conclusions: Patients with acute leukemia and aplastic anemia in childhood using immunosuppressive drugs, blood, and blood products during chemotherapy, encounter Parvovirus B19 infections in the follow-up period and are diagnosed by serological and molecular methods. As a result of the study, we suggest that the detection of Parvovirus B19 DNA by Real-Time PCR method in children being admitted with pancytopenia and diagnosed as acute leukemia and aplastic anemia is useful in the follow-up and treatment.
