Impaired Redox Homeostasis in the Heart Left Ventricles of Aged Rats Experiencing Fast-Developing Severe Hypobaric Hypoxia
(Springer, 2019) Agascioglu, Eda; Colak, Ridvan; Demirel, Haydar; Cakatay, Ufuk
Despite its rare occurrence, humans and animals have been prone to getting fast developing severe hypobaric hypoxia. Understanding the redox homeostasis related response of an aging heart to this type of hypoxia are crucially important, since the metabolism of myocardial tissue depends on the redox status of proteins. Rodents can tolerate hypoxic stress better than human subjects. This study was aimed at investigating the effects of fast developing severe hypobaric hypoxia on redox status biomarkers; such as, advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), lipid hydroperoxides (LHPs), protein carbonyl groups (PCO), protein thiol groups (P-SH), and total thiol groups (T-SH) on the myocardial left ventricles of young and aged Wistar rats. The rats were gradually ascended and exposed to an 8000-meter hypobaric hypoxia. While AOPP levels showed no difference, the TSH and PSH concentrations decreased, and the PCO and LHP increased in both of the hypoxic groups than the controls. The TSH and PSH were lower, and AOPP, PCO and LHP were found to be higher in the elderly hypoxic groups than in the young ones. The significant outcome of the study represents that an 8000-meter hypobaric hypoxia could be considered as a severe hypoxic stress, but not life-treating for the rats and would affect both the young and aged left ventricles similarly in respect to impaired redox status. However, if the percentage increases are taken into consideration, it seems that the higher rate of protein oxidation occurs in young hearts; meanwhile aged hearts are more prone to T-SH oxidation.

Structural and Optical Properties of Ga2se3 Crystals by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry
(Springer, 2019) Isik, M.; Gasanly, N. M.; Gasanova, L. G.; Babayeva, R. F.; Guler, I.
Optical and crystalline structure properties of Ga2Se3 crystals were analyzed utilizing ellipsometry and x-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments, respectively. Components of the complex dielectric function (epsilon=epsilon(1)+i epsilon(2)) and refractive index (N=n+ik) of Ga2Se3 crystals were spectrally plotted from ellipsometric measurements conducted from 1.2eV to 6.2eV at 300K. From the analyses of second-energy derivatives of epsilon(1) and epsilon(2), interband transition energies (critical points) were determined. Absorption coefficient-photon energy dependency allowed us to achieve a band gap energy of 2.02eV. Wemple and DiDomenico single effective oscillator and Spitzer-Fan models were accomplished and various optical parameters of the crystal were reported in the present work.
A Thermodynamic Study on Pbzr0.52ti0.48o3 Ceramic Close To the Tetragonal-Cubic Transition
(Springer, 2020) Kiraci, Ali
The isobaric Gruneisen parameter and the wavenumber (frequency) of various Raman modes in PbZr1-xTixO3 (PZT x = 0.48) ceramic were calculated by means of the unit cell volume of this crystal. In addition, the damping constant (linewidth) of the Raman modes studied was computed from the pseudospin-phonon coupled and from the energy fluctuation models close to the tetragonal-cubic transition temperature of T-C = 650 K. This calculation of the damping constant performed in terms of the order parameter (spontaneous polarization), which was associated with the wavenumbers of the Raman modes studied. Furthermore, the inverse relaxation time of the Raman modes in this ceramic calculated and the values of the activation energy were deduced in terms of the Arrhenius plot close to the tetragonal-cubic transition in PZT (x = 0.48) ceramic. Finally, the temperature dependence of some thermodynamic quantities, such as the isothermal compressibility and the specific heat of this ceramic, was predicted.
