Article A Case of Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma Presented With Elevated Serum Vitamın B12 Levels(TIP ARASTIRMALARI DERNEGI, 2011) Dülger, A.C.; Atmaca, M.; Aytemiz, E.; Altindal, E.; Akdeniz, H.Fibrolamellar carcinoma of the liver is a variant of hepatocellular carcinoma. It is relatively common in young people and has equal gender distribution. The disease presents as abdominal pain, weight loss and malaise. In several reports of fibrolamellar liver tumors, high cobalamin level has been demonstrated in the human's serum. Therefore, serum cobalamin has been found as a good tumour marker for fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma. Elevated production or decreased elimination of haptocorrin may play an important role for this phenomen. For early fibrolamellar carcinoma, surgical resection, when feasible, is the gold standart for the treatment. In advanced stage of the disease; single-modality treatments (recombinant interferon α-2b or sorafenib) can be tried. Herein, we report a case of metastatic fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma that was presented with high vitamin B12 levels and continued subcutaneous recombinant interferon α-2b thrice-weekly.Article Comparison of Rooting Capabilities of Turkish Tea Clones(TUBITAK, 2002) Altindal, E.; Balta, F.In this study, single leaf cuttings of 10 Turkish tea (Camellia sinensis) clones Hamzabey-1, Ardeşen-1, Fener-3, Hayrat-1, Çiftekavak-1, Muradiye-10, Tuǧlali-10, Gündoǧdu-3, Kömürcüler-1 and Derepazari-7 were rooted under greenhouse conditions at seven different collection times without using any plant hormones. The cuttings were collected on 28 August, 4 September, 11 September, 19 September, 25 September, 4 October and 10 October. Rooted plants were removed from rooting medium in mid- May. Plant survival, root dry weight, shoot dry weight and shooting percentage were recorded depending on the tea clones and collection times. The highest survival percentage by mean values of collection times was obtained from cuttings planted on 25 September (92.3%), followed by 19 September (84.3%), 10 October (83.6%), 4 October (79.2%) and 11 September (78.9%). Çiftekavak-1 had a higher mean plant survival ratio (92.83%) than other clones, and this was followed by Hayrat-1 (90.93%). Muradiye-10 (88.54%), Gündoǧdu-3 (87.59%). Tuǧlali-10 (79.97%) and Ardeşen-1 (79.00%). In addition, the survival percentage and shooting percentage were 100% for cuttings of Hayrat-1 planted on 11 September, Çiftekavak-1 and Hayrat-1 planted on 19 September, and Çiftekavak-1 and Muradiye-10 planted on 25 September. The clone Çiftekavak-1 had the highest root dry weight (1.99 g) and shoot dry weight (0.93 g) per cutting by mean values at all collection times, and is recommended to the tea farmers.
