Amaç:
Çalışmamızın amacı, tanı konulmasında zorlanılan çocuklarda, akut apandisitin
ayırıcı tanısında, oksidatif stresin yeni bir belirteci olan tiyol/disülfit
dengesinin, kullanılabilirliğini araştırmaktır.
Gereç ve yöntemler: Çalışmaya, yaşları 0-18 yaşları aralığında bulunan kontrol grubunda
30, akut apandisit grubunda 30 olmak üzere toplam 60 gönüllü çocuk dahil
edildi. Her iki grubun da nativ tiyol, total tiyol, dinamik disülfit, dinamik
tiyol, iskemi modifiye albümin, albümin, lökosit, hemoglobin, hematokrit ve
trombosit sayıları bakıldı. Her iki grubun sonuçları SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) versiyon
17 (Chicago, USA) programı kullanılarak karşılaştırıldı. Tüm değişkenler için p
<0.05 anlamlı kabul edildi.
Bulgular:
Akut apandisit grubunda, kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında; total tiyol (p<0.001), nativ tiyol (p<0.001)
ve albümin (p<0.001) düzeyleri anlamlı
düzeyde düşük bulunmasına karşın, oksidatif tarafa kaymayı gösteren dinamik
sülfit, dinamik tiyol (p=0.003) ve iskemi
modifiye albümin (p<0.001) düzeyleri yüksek bulundu. Akut apandisit grubunda
lökosit sayısı kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksek (p <0.001) bulunurken
trombosit sayısı kontrol grubundan daha düşüktü (p = 0.03).
Tartışma:
Akut apandisitin ayırıcı tanısında, özellikle teşhis konmakta zorlanılan olgularda,
fizik muayene, görüntüleme ve güncel laboratuvar testlerinin yanı sıra, tiyol /
disülfid dengesinin değerlendirilmesi tanı koymada yardımcı olabilir. Ek olarak
albümin ve iskemi modifiye albümin düzeylerinin değerlendirilmesi testin
özgüllüğünü artırabilir. Bu test, yaşları küçük olan çocuklar ve mental retarde
hastalar gibi tanının zor konabildiği hastaların ayırıcı tanısında daha yararlı
olabilir.

Abstract
Objective: We
aimed to investigate the potential of assessing thiol/disulfide homeostasis as
novel oxidative stress markers to improve the challenging diagnosis of acute
appendicitis in children.
Materials and Methods: A total of 60 pediatric patients (0-18 years) were enrolled in the study, 30 of which were in
the control group and 30 in the acute appendicitis group. Native thiol, total
thiol, dynamic disulfide, dynamic thiol, ischemia modified albümin,
albumin, White blood cell, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelet counts of both
groups were measured. The results of both
groups were compared using the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences)
version 17 (Chicago, USA) program. For all variables, p <0.05 was considered
significant.
Results: Total
thiol (p<0.001), native thiol (p<0.001), and albümin (p<0.001) levels
were significantly decreased while dynamic disulfide, dynamic thiol (p=0.003), and ischemia modified albümin (p<0.001)
levels those indicating oxidant sides were increased
in the acute appendicitis group compared to control. White blood cell counts in acute appendicitis group were higher
(p<0.001), and platelet counts were lower (p=0.03) than the control group.
Conclusion: In the differential diagnosis of acute appendicitis,
especially in cases that are difficult to diagnose, besides a physical examination, imaging, and current
laboratory tests, quantification of thiol/disulfide homeostasis may be helpful
in diagnosing. In addition, evaluating
albumin and IMA levels may increase the specificity of the test. This test can
be more helpful in case diagnosis is difficult such as children small in their
ages and mental retardation.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 7 articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
