This study was performed on 44 material whi•h consist of 8 radavers and 36 dry mandibles. The eni-ranee point of inferior alveolar nerve into man-dibular foramen was searched and it was found that the entrance point of inferior alveolar nerve is si-tuated at the junction of the front lower angle of mandibular lingula and ınadibular foramen. To determine the position of entrance point of in-ferior alveolar nerve into the mandibular foramen on the inside surface of mandibular ramus, me-asurements were made between the different points of mandibula. Mandibular foramen is generally lo-cated on the middle of inside surface of mandibular ramus between the standard basal plane of mandible and mandibular noir,: and on the partial 213 line that extends down from coronoid process to the angle of mandible. On this study, despite the fact that the man-dihular foramen was genarally found to be below the <>ulusal sur fare of the lower molar teeth, in some cases it was found ta be at the same level or higher level of molar teeih. It has been roncluded that certain variations most be taken Info consideration to rernove un-successful inteıferences on anaesthetics of illerior alveolar nerve.

This descriptive study was petformed in order to demonstrate the expactations of our society from health services, in Konya in 1991. It was observed that 6% of the people prefer to Lake the health ser-vices from the health centers and 11% of the pop-ulation used the health centers. It was found that. 67% of people who gel services from the health cen-ters did not have any social security . Nearly 60% of people were cliscontent with the health services and mostly because of lack of interest and sincerity of health officers. In the interview, one third of the people stated that the health services should be of-fered free of charge. People who gets services from health centers had low income (monthly salary is less than 2 million TL) and low educational level . While 63% prefer specialists for their health services, only 2% state that (hey are satisfied the serices of general practitioners.

In this study, the ellerts of with(' and blue fluo-rescence lights on Micronucleus (MN) formation of peripheral blood rultures of newborns were in-vestigated before and after phototherapy. The study was carried out on tı.vo groups earh rontaining 14 newborns, and additional 14 healthy newborns is in-cluded as control group. Dur findings showed that the light sources used for phototherapy increased the frequency of MN considerably irrespective to the kind of light source that was used.

In this ligin microscopic study, the ellects of morphine sulfate on nasal mast celis was in-vestigated using alcian blue-safranin O and to-luidin blue staining methods. The investigation was peıformed on 20 m❑le and female albino rats which were obtained from the E.xperimental Animal Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, Selçuk University. Rats were divided int° two groups of ten rats each. First group was considered as control group. Percutaneous injection of 200 ıngikg morphine sulphate was administered to the second group. Rats were anesthetized by ether and regio res-piratoria nasi of rats were frontally excised. Tissues were fued in Carnoy solution for three days at room temperature, dehydrated with absolute al-cohol and eınbedded in parallin. Five micrometer sections were eut from the paran blocks using ro-tary microtome and stained with alcian blue-safranin O and toluidin blue solutions. In conclıtsion, control group slides demostrated normal appearing mast rens with dark violet (with toluidin blue) and red and reddish-hlue (with alcian blue-safranin O) stained granules. In contrast, the ınorphine sulphate stimulated specimens exhibited no granules.

The effects of phenobarbitone on the spinal segmental cord potentials elicited by stimulation of the posterior tibiul nerve were investigated in 10 subjects. Intrathecal recording technique was used to obtain the spinal potentials. The major ellects of phenobarbitone were to be on the N2 COMponent of the CD potantials, and the amplitudes of the N2 romponent derreased to 45 % of the first value, though the N1 and P2 com-ponents were deereased about 6 % and 25 % of the first value. It was conluded that the NI component of CD potential arise from the presynaptic activily via the dorsal roots and intrameduller extentions of these afferents, and the post postsynaptir activity in the posterior horn relis. The P2 cornponent rep-resents presynaptic inhibition in the primer af-ferents, and postsynaptir activity of the posterior horn rells. The N2 components of the CD po-tentials are due to synaptic and postsynaptic ac-tivity of the spinal cord neurons.

Seventy-five pasteurized ınilk samples collected in Istanbul market and chloramphenicol residues vere investigated by Enzyme Immunological deep stick tesis. Chloramphenicol residue was detected in one of the samples. This method has the accuracy of 1 ppb/ml milk and test time is nearly 30 minutes.

The treatment results of the 31 patients who were treated as a rause of sudden hearing loss and references were reviewed.

A hundred consecutive patients undergoing various surgery ender general anesthesia were giyen 1.25 mg. Droperidol, 10 ıng. Metoclopramide , 100 mg. Dra-mamine or a sahne placebo intravenously in a doubly - blind random fashion 5 minutes before the end of anesthesia to prevent postoperatiw nausea and vomiting during the first 24 hours postoperativei y. Significantly (p< 0.01 ), fewer of patients giyen droperidol were nauseated and vomited (6.6 %) in comparison with patient giyen saline (incidence of nausea and vomiting was 46 %).1ncidences of nausea and vomiting were sirnilar in patients giyen Metocloprarnide,Dramamine or h is concluded that Droperidol is effectiye in the prevetion and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting after general anesthesia but that Metoclopramide or Dramaınine are not.

Serum fasting blood sugar (FBS), total cholesterol, 11DL- cholesterol and triglyceride of 96 non- obese (44femak, 19 male) and 29 <>hese (10fernale, 19 male) people were deterrnined, FBS level of obese women and men were higher < 0.01 for women, p <0.05 for men) than those of non- obese subjeets.Triglvreride level of obese women was higher (han that of controls (p < 0.02). 11DL-rholesterol levels of obese women were significantly higher !han !hese of obese men (p < 0.(01). It was roncluded that obesity may be a rise factor for diabetes mellitus (DM).

Serum insulin levels of 48 hyperthyroidic (21 male, 27 female), 36 hypothyroidir (18 male, 1 8 female) and 72 control group (36 male,36fernak)were investigated. Patients and controls were between the same range of age. Average serum insuliıı leveis of healthy contwls, hyperıhyroidic and hypoıhyroidir pallents were 10.9±2 .6 plUlml, 21 .0±7.9 and 6.7±1 .9 pllllmi, res-pertively. As it is seen from the results, insulin !evei of hyperthyroldic patients was significantly (p<0.001 ) increased, while that of hyporthyroidic patients was decreased (p<0.001). Those alterations in insulin leveis were thoutf,:ht to be due to alterations in carbohydrate metabolism.

The distal femoral epiphseal secondary os-sification center (DEE), which can be reliably iden-tified and measured sonographically is a practical and reliable method in predicting third trimester menstrual age. The mean age at the DFE ap-pearance is approximatelv ıhe 32-33 mensırual weeks and between 30 and 35 menstrual weeks, the perrentage offetuses with a DEE progressively inc-reases measurement of the DEE indicated that its size showed a linear increase with gestational age.

A study was performed on the relation between the distal femoral epiphyseal secondary ossification center (DFE) measured by ultrasound and the birth weights of the newborn among ,...7weeks 116 nor-mal pregnant women. In the fetuses whose DFE? 5 mm, the birth weights of the newborn was found further normal according to the fetuses whose DFE measures
