The presence of sperm antibodies reacting with antigens on the spermatozoa in sera and reproductive tracts can cause agglutination ör cornplement-dependent irnrnobilization of sperm ör both, resulting in a reduction of !heir fertilizing capasiiy. Antisperrn antibodies are belong to two irnrnunolojical classes: IgA and IgG antibodies. There are some data indicating that IgA is clinically more importarzt than IgG antibodies. However, IgA antibodies never occur without IgG antibodies. Therefore, testing for IgG antibodies is sufficient as a routine screening method. We examined the ELISA method for the detection of antisperm antibodies in the sera of infertile women and men.

By means of increasing the flexibility and resistancy of the casts which were found oul applying plastic injection and corrosion cast m.ethod, in this work where an investigation of anastornoses arnong intrahepatic artery branches was airned, anastomoses were determined in dıfferent types and areas in four of the thirteen artery systems casts. That the taking into consideration of the presence of intrahepatic anastornoses near subsegmental variations at surgical operations which will be applied art the liver and taking the necessary preoperative precautions will be safer and will supply more effective incision possibility has been advised.

Nasal mucosa alterations following total laryngectomy was studied in nasal mucosa biopsy of 35 total laryngectomised patienis and 15 normal control group. In this resarch, rather less noticable nasal mucosa alterations among the many problems to wich the total laryngectomised patients faced, vere emphesasized and aimed to contribule to the subject.

A screening program was perforrned at five hospital in Konya in which 4173 infants (range 3-24 months of age) were eamined. The goal of this study was to detection of incidense and related factors in the etiology of CDH. 56 infants with CDH were found (The incidense was 1.3%). The condition was 3 times more cornmon in girls than in boys (40 girls and 16 boys in this group). There was any infant with CDH who was delivered by ceserian section or breech presentation. Any teratologic CDH was detected. The relation of CDH with a definite family history and the hips were bundled in etension and adduction was found statistically significant.

In this in vitro study it was investigated how much the ACh responses, which obtained after NA contractions in rabb it thorasic aorta preparations with endothelium or withouz endothelium, depends on the concentrations of Ca++ and Mg++ ions in the medium. in peraparation with intact endothelium, Ach inhibited the contractile effect of 10-9M NA on a large scala. When these ions' concentrations were reduced to halt, this inhibition decreased significantly. In Ca+ +-free er Mg++-free solution there was no inhibition. However, in preparations without endothelium and in also three mediurn, addition of ACh increased the contractile response to NA, significantly. The results suggest that there must be an intact endothelium in rabbit aorta for inhibition of . NA-mediated contractions, by ACh. Furthermore, iris demonstrated that, also preparations wıttz intact endothelium Ca++ and Mg++ ions are necessary for relaxation by ACh.

In this study the effect of swirn training on respiratory parameters, was investigated. The study was performed on the 6 to 14 years old children who were auending the swim training course in the siwimming pool of Konya. Respiratory parameters were tneasured al the beginning and the end of 6 weeks course and values were compared with each other. Consequently swirn training seemed to had increasing effect on the respiratory parameters. Results obtained in this study were comparable with previous experitnents

Analysis have been, made regarding nitrıte, nitrate and amonia in water from the total of 25 wells tv evaluate the Konya's dirnking-utilizing water in respect ta health. At the result of analysis, trace amount of nitrnite and arnrnonia have been found which shouldn't be find. In S011te wells nitrate ratio has been found abundant.

In the study performed in Konya, 5 well-waters were examined about physical quality in three seasons (Spring, surnmer and auturnıe). We found the turbidity and colour of waters as 5 units. Mean level of Ca++ was 58.63±3,13 and mean level of Mg++ was 42,10±1,61. Mean hardness of water was 32.P9,25. There were na significant relations between Ca++ and Mg++ levels and hardness nj water and seasons (p>0.05). Mean degree of pil was 7,50±0,21. in the summer, basic quality of the water washigher than the other seasons (p<0.01 and p<0.05).

Major malformation screening was made in 7868 mewborns at Konya Maternity and Children Care State Hospital, Turkey, January through October in 1988. Newborns, 28 weeks old and over were subjected to physical examination and the blood type determinations when needed. Blood type determinations were made for all mothers who gave birth. During 10 months period, of the 7868 babies born 3762 were female and the remaining 4106 babies were males. Among the 218 stillborn babies, 95 of them were female and 123 were males. 75 babies born with major malformations, and 66 (88%) of 75 had single and the remaining 9 (12%) had multiple malformations. The overall incidence is found ta be 0.9% and 0.11% for single and multiple malformations, respectively. About 51% of 66 newborns had musculo-skeletal system, 30% central nervous system, 14% digestive system, 1,5% circulatory systern, 1,5% urogenital system malformations, respectively. Also, musculo-skletal system malformations were found more often in males than female infants. Similarly, pes equino-varus was predorninant among the males whereas polydactylism among the females. In musculo-skeletal malformation system, stillbirth frequency is rather low (3 females and 1 male out of 33 malformed cases). The most stillbirths were seen in central nervous system (13 female and 3 male out of 20 cases). Anencephalus seemed to appear more often in female infants !han the male ones, and anencephalus and hydrocephalus females were stillborn infants. Multiple major malformations

Traurnatic diaphragmatic rupture is a condition which the diagnosis is difficıdt. in Mis article 4 cases with traumatic diaphragmatic rupture which presented intestinal obstruction, volvulus of the dyspepsia and intraabdominal haemorhagea were evaluated retrospectively. Two cases were diagnosed prooperatively and the athers during operation. Unless probabilitiy is thought the diagnosis could easily be ınissed. Chest X-rays and other routine diagnostic ınethods were our diagnostic criteria in Mese cases. ff ultrasonographic exarnination is available diagnosing of such cases becomes accurate and easy.

Osteoid osteorna in the talar bones may be diffucult to diagnose. Delay in identification of such hindfoot lesion frequently may been seen. We report kere a rare case of osteoid osteoma of the os calcis who is 12 years old boy with hindfoot pain, initially though to be artritis of the talar jaints. X-ray showed a fokal area of sclerosis. The diagnosis of osteoid osteoma was made with only computerized tomography and Tc-99 bone scanning. Surgically, the lesion was resected and now the patient is painless.

Aluminum is the most common metal and third common element found on earth (1). It makes up 5% to 8% of the earth's crust and is ubiquitous (2,3). It takes a long and complicated process to obtain the metal, which is found in compounds in nature, from bauxite ore. Despite these difficulties, the superiority of its features, other usage technical uses. At the beginning of our century, around 7 thousand tons of global aluminum production has reached 20 million tons today. Aluminum is the most used metal after iron. Aluminum can learn that other metals cannot coexist, or else separately. High strength / weight ratio, excellent rust resistance, good electrical and thermal conductivity, formability and processing are some of these metal properties (4).

Portal veins are the veins that carry the venous blood of the splacnic area in the abdomen to the liver (KC) sinusoids. Stomach, intestine, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreatic veins join the portal venous system. The largest vein of this system is the vena portal. It occurs by the union of the veria porta v.lialis (splenic vein) and the v. Mesenterica superior at the level of the L2 vertebra and the race of the pancreatic head. The v.porta, which has no valve inside, branches into the KC and opens to the sinusoids and central vein. Central hepatic veins unite and make v. Hepatic. Any reason that disrupts or prevents the blood flow in this system increases the blood pressure in the portal venous system and leads to portal hypertension (PH). To overcome the resistance of the sinusoidal system, the pressure in the portal system is normally 5-10 mm Hg higher than the venous pressure in other systems. With this increase in height, PH occurs. It is PH when the blood pressure in the portal venous system is higher than = 20 mm Hg (1) and, according to some authors, 10-12 mm Hg (17-20 cm water pressure) (2).
