Item Factors Affecting Recurrence of Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis(2022) Tasci, Halil Ibrahim; Turk, Emin; Erinanc, Ozgur Hilal; Erkan, Serkan; Gundogdu, Ramazan; Karagulle, Erdal; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2269-4798; 35108784; AAJ-2989-2021Objective: To investigate factors that may have an effect on recurrence by retrospectively analysing the data of patients who were followed up and treated for idiopathic granulomatous mastitis in this clinic. Study Design: Analytic study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of General Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Baskent University, Konya and Adana Practice and Research Hospitals between January 2010 and January 2021. Methodology: The data of patients who were histopathologically diagnosed with granulomatous mastitis were retrospectively analysed. The patients included in the study were divided into two groups: Recurrence (Group 1) and non-recurrence (Group 2). Patients with underlying etiological factors that may cause granulomatous inflammation such as infection, trauma, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, and autoimmune disease were excluded from the study. The effects of other parameters (involvement area, followup duration, the time from the onset of complaints to diagnosis, side of involvement, breastfeeding, oral contraceptive use, redness, ulceration and/or discharge, preoperative histopathological diagnosis, diagnosis by any of the preoperative imaging techniques, preferred treatment method) on recurrence, were statistically analysed. Results: Furthermore, the analysis results showed no significant difference between the groups with and without recurrence with regard to any of the other variables such as follow-up period, size of the involvement area, presenting complaints, breast-feeding,preferred treatment alternative (steroid, steroid + surgery, surgery), and preferred surgical technique (p>0.05). The time from the onset of complaints to diagnosis was significantly longer in the recurrence group (p=0.001). In addition, the frequency of oral contraceptive use was statistically significantly higher in the recurrence group (Odds ratio=7.6, p=0.044). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that early diagnosis could prevent recurrence in patients with idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. Prospective randomised controlled studies are needed to support this thought.Item Serum and placental periostin levels in women with early pregnancy loss(2020) Eroglu, Semra; Colak, Eser; Erinanc, Ozgur Hilal; Ozdemir, Duygu; Ceran, Mehmet Ufuk; Tasdemir, Umit; Kulaksizoglu, Sevsen; Ozcimen, Emel Ebru; 0000-0003-1401-6356; 0000-0002-7613-2240; 0000-0002-9959-9433; 32460058; AAL-1268-2021; AAI-8932-2021Objectives: Periostin is secreted from the placenta in the embryonic period and it is emphasized that it may be involved in endometrial implantation. In this study, we aimed to investigate periostin serum levels and placental tissue expression in first trimester pregnancy losses. Study design: In this prospective case-control study, 30 patients who underwent dilatation and curettage with first trimester spontaneous abortion (< 10 weeks of gestation) were included in the study group and 30 patients who had voluntary pregnancy termination (< 10 gestational weeks) were included in the control group. Serum samples collected from the study and control groups were analyzed usingenzyme-linkedimmunosorbent assay (ELISA), and trophoblastic and decidual tissues were examined using immunohistochemical staining with streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase techniques. Results: There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of age, gravida status, parity number, gestational week, and number of previous abortions. In the spontaneous abortion group, the serum level of periostin was significantly lower than in the voluntary termination group (6.56 +/- 4.16 pg/mLvs. 9.51 +/- 4.52 pg/mL, p = 0.03). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of periostin expression in decidual and trophoblastic tissue (p = 0.617, p = 0.274, p = 0.497). Conclusion: Periostin serum levels were significantly reduced in patients with spontaneous pregnancy loss. Periostin can be used as a predictive marker for the success of endometrial implantation.Item Giant Fibroadenoma Growing Rapidly During Pregnancy(2014) Karagulle, Erdal; Turk, Emin; Erinanc, Ozgur Hilal; Moray, Gokhan; 25389498Introduction: Giant fibroadenoma is a rare disease with unknown etiology During pregnancy fibroadenomas increase in size and may show lactational histologic changes. High concentrations of estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin promote the ductal growth and formation of tubuloalveolar structures.This may be a reason for the significant enlargement in this period. Case Presentation: We presented a case of giant fibroadenoma, first detected at the onset of pregnancy, which grew rapidly and was excised surgically two months after the birth. There was no marked deformity in the breast nor a need to reconstruct it, despite the giant mass was excised and the mother was lactating. Discussion: We presented a rare case of giant fibroadenoma in a lactating woman. A progressively growing mass in breast can lead to structural damages. The current management approach for giant fibroadenomas is still surgical excision.Item Is there any association between colonic polyps and gastric intestinal metaplasia?(2016) Unler, Gulhan Kanat; Ozgur, Gulsum Teke; Gokturk, Huseyin Savas; Korkmaz, Huseyin; Erinanc, Ozgur Hilal; 27210777Background/Aims: Chronic gastritis progression is a multistep process of atrophy, intestinal metaplasia (IM), and dysplasia, which may lead to invasive carcinoma. In this study, we identified an association of colonic polyps with gastric IM in patients undergoing colonoscopy. Materials and Methods: This retrospective case-control, cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary-care institution in Turkey. Pathology and endoscopy reports were reviewed. The study group comprised 400 patients with colonic adenomatous polyps, and the control group comprised 360 patients without colonic adenomatous polyps on colonoscopy. Results: The risk of gastric IM was 1.42-fold higher in the study group (p<0.05). The risk of IM in patients aged >= 50 years with colonic polyps was 3.35-fold higher than in those aged <50 years (p<0.05). The risk of Helicobacter pylori infection in the study group was 1.07-folder higher than that in the control group (p<0.05). H. pylori infection prevalence was higher only in patients with high-grade colonic polyp dysplasia (p<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of incomplete IM between the groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study observed increased rates of gastric IM with colonic polyps. An increased risk of gastric IM was associated with higher grades of polyp dysplasia.
