Item Would Mean Platelet Volume/Platelet Count Ratio Be Used as A Novel Formula to Predict 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome?(2016) Gokturk, Bahar; Guner, Sukru Nail; Kara, Reyhan; Kirac, Mine; Keles, Sevgi; Artac, Hasibe; Zamani, Ayse Gul; Yildirim, Mahmut Selman; Reisli, Ismail; 27007839Background: The diagnosis of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome depends on a time-consuming and expensive method, fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH). Objectives: We aimed to determine new parameters which can aid for in the diagnosis of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Methods: Twenty two patients with 22q11.2 or 10p13 deletion were evaluated retrospectively. Results: Facial-dysmorphism and mental-motor retardation were detected in 100% of patients. Mean platelet (PLT) counts were lower (224,980 versus 354,000, p = 0.001), mean PLT volume (MPV) (9.95 versus 7.07, p = 0.002), and MPV/PLTx10(5) ratios (5.36 versus 2.08, p < 0.001) were higher in patients with 22q11.2 deletion compared with the control group. Area under the receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.864, sensitivity was 84.6%, specificity was 90.9%, positive predictive value (PPV) was 91.7%, and negative predictive value (NPV) was 83.3% when MPV was 8.6. Area under ROC curve was 0.864, sensitivity was 76.9%, specificity was 90.1%, PPV was 90.1%, and NPV was 76.3% when PLT was 265,500. Area under ROC curve was 0.906, sensitivity was 84.6%, specificity was 100%, PPV was 100%, and NPV was 84.6% when MPV/PLTx10(5) was 3.3. Expression of PLT surface markers which were not in the GPIb-V-IX receptor complex (CD61, CD41a) increased as the surface area increased, but markers which were in a complex (CD42a, CD42b) did not change. Conclusions: High MPV/PLT value can be a good predictor for the diagnosis of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. We suggest that in patients with facial dysmorphism and retardation in neurodevelopmental milestones and if MPV >= 8.6fl, MPV/PLTx10(5) ratio >= 3.3 and PLT count <= 265,500/mm(3), the patients should be tested by FISH analysis to confirm the 22q11.2 deletion. If there are no macrothrombocytes, the 10p13 deletion should be tested in suspected cases.Item Morning Blood Pressure Surge Is Associated with Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Prehypertensive Patients(2017) Alpaydin, Sertac; Turan, Yasar; Caliskan, Mustafa; Caliskan, Zuhal; Aksu, Feyza; Ozyildirim, Serhan; Buyukterzi, Zafer; Kostek, Osman; Muderrisoglu, Haldun; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9635-6313; 28272109; AAG-8233-2020Objective Morning blood pressure (BP) surge (MBPS) is defined as an excessive increase in the morning BP from the lowest systolic BP during sleep and is reported as a risk factor for cardiovascular events in current clinical studies. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between MBPS and carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT) in prehypertensive patients. Patients and methods We evaluated the association between the rate of BP variation derived from ambulatory BP monitoring and C-IMT in patients with prehypertension. Results One hundred and seventy patients with prehypertension were included in the study. All office BP measurements and ambulatory 24-h, day-time, and night-time measurements were similar between each group. C-IMT [0.60 (range: 0.57-0.65) vs. 0.55 (range: 0.50-0.60) cm; P < 0.001] and the mean platelet volume [8.7 (range: 7.9-9.1) vs. 7.9 (range: 7.3-8.8) fl; P = 0.002] were significantly higher in the greater MBPS group than the lower group. In multivariate analysis, male sex [odds ratio (OR): 2.271, confidence interval (CI): 1.011-5.100, P = 0.047], greater MBPS (OR: 8.474, CI: 3.623-19.608, P < 0.001), and elevated mean platelet volume levels (OR: 3.359, CI: 1.978-5.705, P < 0.001) were found to be independent predictors of greater C-IMT in prehypertensive patients. Conclusion Our study suggests that greater MBPS is associated independently with C-IMT in prehypertensive patients. Copyright (C) 2017 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

Methods: The pregnancies with and without IUGR, that were followed-up in our hospital between 2003 and 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. Pregnancies which resulted in birth of a newborn with a birthweight less than 10th percentile for the gestational age were selected for IUGR group. IUGR cases were divided into three groups according to the Doppler parameters. Results: There was no significant difference between the MPV values in the groups. There was no association between MPV and Doppler parameters that can be used in predicting the severity of IUGR. There was no significant relation between MPV and the perinatal complications such as intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), the development of sepsis, postpartum exitus (PPEX) and intrauterine exitus (IUEX). Higher MPV values were associated with hospitalization in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in the IUGR group. Conclusion: Analysis of MPV is a simple and readily available laboratory test. Prospective researches employing standard measurement technics are required to clarify the relationship between MPV and IUGR.Item Alteratıon of Mean Platelet Volume in The Pathogenesıs of Acute Ischemıc Stroke: Cause or Consequence?(2018) Ayas, Zeynep Ozozen; Can, Ufuk; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8689-417X; 29465900; AAJ-2999-2021Introduction - Platelets have a crucial role on vascular disease which are involved in pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Platelet size is measured as mean platelet volume (MPV) and is a marker of platelet activity. Platelets contain more dense granules as the size increases and produce more serotonin and tromboglobulin (p-TO) than small platelets. In this study, the alteration of MPV values were investigated in patients with acute stroke, who had MPV values before stroke, during acute ischemic stroke and 7 days after the stroke. The relationship between this alteration and risk factors, etiology and localization of ischemic stroke were also investigated. Methods - Sixty-seven patients with clinically and radiologically established diagnoses of ischemic stroke were enrolled into the study and stroke etiology was classified by modified Trial of Org 10 172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) classification and, modified Bamford classification was used for localization and stroke risk factors were also evaluated. The platelet counts and MPV values from patient files in patients who had values before stroke (at examination for another diseases), within 24 hours of symptom onset and after 7 further days were analysed. Results - MPV values increased after stroke (10.59 +/- 2.26) compared with acute stroke values (9.84 +/- 1.64) and the values before stroke (9.59 +/- 1.72) (p<0.0001); this alteration of MPV values occured 7 days after stroke (p<0.016). There was a positive correlation between age and MPV values during acute stroke (r=0.270; p<0.05). Patients with atrial fibrillation had higher alteration in the time of MPV compared with patients without atrial fibrillation (p>0.006). We assessed for gender, men (n=38) had a higher alteration in the time of MPV compared with women (n=29) (p=0.013). Conclusion - Although there was no alteration of platelet counts, MPV values were increased 7 days after stroke in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Item Role of mean platelet volume in pregnancy to predict gestational diabetes mellitus in the first trimester(2020) Colak, Eser; Ozcimen, Emel Ebru; Ceran, Mehmet Ufuk; Tohma, Yusuf Aytac; Kulaksizoglu, Sevsen; 0000-0001-9418-4733; 0000-0002-7613-2240; 0000-0003-1923-2373; 0000-0002-8184-7531; 30947572; AAE-6482-2021; AAI-8932-2021Objectives:Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance detected for the first time in pregnancy or identified during pregnancy. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a marker of activation and function of platelet. Several studies investigated the relation between MPV and GDM. The purpose of the present study is to predict GDM in the first trimester by using MPV value. Materials and methods:Two hundred pregnant women with GDM and 200 normal pregnant women were enrolled in the study. The first trimester MPV values of GDM and control groups were compared to predict GDM in the first trimester. Results:Women with GDM had higher MPV value compared with the control group (p < .001). The area under the receiver-operator curve was 0.70 for MPV. The cutoff value of MPV was 7.38 fl with 70% sensitivity and 60% specificity. According to the ages, MPV value was higher in GDM group in the individuals who were above 28-year-old (p < .001). Conclusion:MPV can be used to predict GDM in the first trimester.
