While its prognosis is generally favorable, disease recurrence is relatively frequent. Since morbidity after repeated surgery may be significant, an optimized prediction of recurrence-free survival (RFS) has the potential to improve current management strategies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of the Ki-67 proliferation index with respect to RFS in patients with DFSP We retrospectively analyzed data from 45 patients with DFSP. We calculated the Ki-67 proliferation index as the percentage of immunostained nuclei among the total number of tumor cell nuclei regardless of the intensity of immunostaining. We constructed univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models to identify predictors of RFS. Among the 45 patients included in the study, 8 developed local recurrences and 2 had lung metastases (median follow-up: 95.o months; range: 5.2-412.4 months). The RFS rates at 60, 120, and 240 months of follow-up were 83.8%, 76.2%, and 65.3%, respectively. The median Ki-67 proliferation index was 14%. Notably, we identified the Ki-67 proliferation index as the only independent predictor for RFS in multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis (hazard ratio = 1.106, 95% confidence interval = 1.019-1.200, p = 0.016). In summary, our results highlight the potential usefulness of the Ki-67 proliferation index for facilitating the identification of patients with DFSP at a higher risk of developing disease recurrences.Publication Social media use in patients with acne vulgaris: What do patients expect from social media?(Wiley, 2021-06-01) Kayıran, Melek Aslan; Karadağ, Ayşe Serap; Alyamaç, Gökçen; Cemil, Bengü Çevirgen; Demirseren, Düriye Deniz; Aksoy, Hasan; Kılıç, Sevilay Oğuz; Demircan, Yuhanize Taş; Yüksel, Esma İnan; Kalkan, Göknur; Yaşar, Gülbin; Aktürk, Aysun Sıkar; Kutlu, Ömer; Kaksi, Sümeyye Altıntaş; Aksaç, Sema Elibüyük; Erdoğan, Hilal Kaya; Özden, Hatice Kaya; Solak, Sezgi Sarıkaya; Koska, Mahmut Can; Yazıcı, Serkan; YAZİCİ, SERKAN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Deri ve Zührevi Hastalıklar Anabilim Dalı.; AAH-2459-2021Background Acne vulgaris (AV) may affect external appearance and significantly deteriorate the quality of life of patients. Therefore, patients make various inquiries about their disease and seek treatment options.Aims To investigate the social media usage habits of patients with AV concerning their diseases, and their recommendations for dermatologists related to social media use.Methods A total of 1609 patients with AV completed the survey prepared by the authors and the Cardiff Acne Disability Index questionnaire. The Food and Drug Administration severity scores and clinical information of the patients were noted by their physicians.Results Of the 1,489 patients who stated that they used social media, 46.31% regularly and 28.77% sometimes referred to these sources to make inquiries about AV. Social media usage for AV was statistically significantly higher in women, participants with short term and severe disease, those with a moderate income level, and those using topical treatment and cosmetics. They mostly used Google (67%), Instagram (54%), and YouTube (49%). While 76% of the participants stated that they did not share what they saw on the Internet with their doctor. Of the respondents, 18.5% were trying to contact their dermatologists through the Internet, and 69.73% would prefer experts such as dermatologists to post-AV-related content.Conclusions Our study shows that patients frequently resort to social media to seek information about AV. In the changing digital world order, it is observed that there is a need for dermatologists to use social media more actively to share accurate information about AV.Publication Clinical and demographical characteristics of familial Behcet's disease (southeast Marmara region)(Karger, 2019-01-01) Kalın, Zübeyde Ceylan; Sarıcaoğlu, Hayriye; Yazıcı, Serkan; Aydoğan, Kenan; Başkan, Emel Bülbül; SARICAOĞLU, HAYRİYE; YAZİCİ, SERKAN; AYDOĞAN, KENAN; BÜLBÜL BAŞKAN, EMEL; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Dermatoloji ve Zührevi Hastalıklar Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-6407-0962; 0000-0002-0193-1128; AAH-2459-2021; AAH-6216-2021; AAH-1388-2021; DQE-8993-2022Background: Familial aggregation in Behcet's disease (BD) has been reported in Turkish and Japanese populations. While the frequency of familial cases has been reported to be 2-5% worldwide, this rate reaches up to 15% in the Middle East. Objective: This study aimed to determine the incidence of familial BD cases followed in the BD polyclinic and to compare their clinical and demographic characteristics to those observed in sporadic cases. Methods: Data related to BD patients who were followed between 1995 and 2014 were collected from computerized archive records and were assessed for detailed family histories. Only first-degree relatives (brother, sister, mother, father, children) were considered to be cases of familial BD. Clinical and demographic features were retrieved. Our BD polyclinic is located in the Southeast Marmara Region in Turkey. Results: BD was detected in 36 first-degree relatives of 33 patients out of 840 patients with BD. A total of 45 patients were diagnosed as familial BD; 23 were female, and 22 were male. In our patients, the incidence of familial BD was determined to be 3.9%. The rates for HLA-B5 positivity, ocular involvement, genital ulcers, and erythema nodosum were determined to be 86.6% (26/30), 26.6%, 82.2%, and 60%, respectively. None of the patients had neurological involvement, but 2 had vascular involvement. Conclusion: This study may contribute to the epidemiological data of BD from Turkey. (C) 2019 S. Karger AG, BaselPublication Flow cytometric analysis of T, B, and NK cells antigens in patients with mycosis fungoides(Hindawi, 2015-11-24) Yazıcı, Serkan; Başkan, Emel Bülbül; Budak, Ferah; Oral, Barbaros; Adım, Şaduman Balaban; Kalın, Zübeyde Ceylan; Özkaya, Güven; Aydoğan, Kenan; Sarıcaoğlu, Hayriye; Tunalı, Şükran; YAZİCİ, SERKAN; BÜLBÜL BAŞKAN, EMEL; BUDAK, FERAH; ORAL, HALUK BARBAROS; BALABAN ADIM, ŞADUMAN; Kalın, Zübeyde Ceylan; ÖZKAYA, GÜVEN; AYDOĞAN, KENAN; SARICAOĞLU, HAYRİYE; Tunalı, Şükran; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Dermatoloji ve Zührevi Hastalıklar Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/İmmünoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Patoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Biyoistatistik Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-6407-0962; 0000-0001-7625-9148; 0000-0003-0463-6818; 0000-0003-0297-846X; 0000-0002-0193-1128; IZP-9398-2023; AAH-2459-2021; AAH-1388-2021; A-4421-2016; F-4657-2014; AAH-6216-2021; K-7285-2012; EMN-0789-2022; CWV-8710-2022; DPU-8534-2022; GGH-7385-2022We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological correlation and prognostic value of cell surface antigens expressed by peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with mycosis fungoides (MF). 121 consecutive MF patients were included in this study. All patients had peripheral blood flow cytometry as part of their first visit. TNMB and histopathological staging of the cases were retrospectively performed in accordance with International Society forCutaneous Lymphomas/European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer (ISCL/EORTC) criteria at the time of flow cytometry sampling. To determine prognostic value of cell surface antigens, cases were divided into two groups as stable and progressive disease. 17 flow cytometric analyses of 17 parapsoriasis (PP) and 11 analyses of 11 benign erythrodermic patients were included as control groups. Fluorescent labeled monoclonal antibodies were used to detect cell surface antigens: T cells (CD3(+), CD4(+), CD8(+), TCR alpha beta(+), TCR gamma delta(+), CD7(+), CD4(+) CD7(+), CD4(+) CD7(-), and CD71(+)), B cells (HLA-DR+, CD19(+), and HLA-DR(+)CD19(+)), NKT cells (CD3(+)CD16(+)CD56(+)), and NK cells (CD3(-)CD16(+)CD56(+)). The mean value of all cell surface antigens was not statistically significant between parapsoriasis and MF groups. Along with an increase in cases of MF stage statistically significant difference was found between the mean values of cell surface antigens. Flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood cell surface antigens in patients with mycosis fungoides may contribute to predicting disease stage and progression.Publication Retrospective analysis of the forty-six patients with bullous pemphigoid followed-up in our clinic(Deri Zuhrevi Hastaliklar Dernegi, 2016-01-01) Yazıcı, Serkan; BÜLBÜL BAŞKAN, EMEL; YAZİCİ, SERKAN; Başkan, Emel Bülbül; Tunalı, Şükran; Aydoğan, Kenan; AYDOĞAN, KENAN; Sarıcaoğlu, Hayriye; SARICAOĞLU, HAYRİYE; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Deri ve Zührevi Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-6407-0962; 0000-0002-0193-1128; AAH-1388-2021; AAH-6216-2021; AAH-2459-2021Background and Design: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune disease characterised by widespread itchy plaques and subepithelial blisterings and usually affects the elderly population. Due to the chronic nature of the disease, to prevent the side effects of chronic steroid treatment, adjuvant immunosuppressive (mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, methotrexate) and anti-inflammatory (tetracycline, nicotinamide, dapsone) agents may be used. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the clinical and demographic characteristics and applied treatments of 46 patients with the diagnosis of BP and compared with literature data.Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the records of 46 patients who received clinical and histopathological diagnosis of BP and followed up in our clinic between 2006 and 2013.Results: Of the 46 patients, 22 were female and 24 male. The mean age of onset was 69.54 years (range: 18-105). The duration of the lesion ranged from 1 week to 10 months with a median duration of 8 weeks. The most frequent comorbid chronic disease was hypertension detected in 28 (60.8%) patients. Only four patients had a history of malignancy before the onset of the disease. Nineteen patients (42%) used more than 5 agents for comorbid diseases. Thirty-two patients (69.5%) used systemic corticosteroids alone and ten (22%) patients needed additional adjuvant therapies.Conclusion: BP is a major cause of morbidity in the elderly population receiving multiple drug treatment. To avoid the side effects of steroid therapy, especially in patients with severe disease, short-term use of additional immunosuppressive agents appears to be safe and effective.Publication Is there any association between mycosis fungoides and Th-1,Th-2 cytokines and transforming growth factor-beta 1 gene polymorphisms?(Deri Zuhrevi Hastaliklar Dernegi, 2018-01-01) Yazıcı, Serkan; YAZİCİ, SERKAN; Aydoğan, Kenan; AYDOĞAN, KENAN; Sarıcaoğlu, Hayriye; SARICAOĞLU, HAYRİYE; BÜLBÜL BAŞKAN, EMEL; Tunalı, Şükran; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Dermatoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-6407-0962; 0000-0002-0193-1128; AAH-2459-2021; AAH-1388-2021; AAH-6216-2021Background and Design: Cytokines are considered to play a crucial role in the development of mycosis fungoides (MF). Cytokine production is under genetic control and allelic variations of cytokine genes are associated with lower or higher production of cytokines. The aim of this study was to determine any possible cytokine gene polymorphisms that may be a risk factor for the development or progression of MF.Materials and Methods: Genotyping of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)+874, interleukin (IL)-10-1082, IL-6-174, transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), codon 10 and codon 25, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-308 was undertaken in 55 Turkish patients with MF and compared to 50 healthy controls. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism was applied for IFN-gamma+874, IL-10-1082, IL6-174 and TNF-alpha-308 gene polymorphisms. TGF-beta 1 was genotyped by direct DNA sequencing of PCR amplified gene products for codon 10 and codon 25 polymorphisms.Results: Genotype distributions showed no significant difference between the patients and the controls for any of the five investigated cytokines. There was no significant difference between advanced stage and early stage cases and healthy controls.Conclusion: None of the studied cytokine gene polymorphisms are risk factors for the development or progression of MF in the Turkish population, however, further studies are needed.Publication Keloid formation following ear piercing through the transitional zone(Elsevier Science Inc, 2023-06-30) Zorlu, Özge; Yazıcı, Serkan; Adım, Şaduman Balaban; Zorlu, Özge; YAZİCİ, SERKAN; BALABAN ADIM, ŞADUMAN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Dermatoloji ve Zührevi Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Patoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-5555-130X; 0000-0001-6407-0962; IAL-9735-2023; EHG-3420-2022; EMN-0789-2022Publication A report of 13 cases of merkel cell carcinoma: Single-center experience and review of the literature(Korean Dermatological Assoc, 2019-06-01) Yazıcı, Serkan; Yazıcı, Elif Irmak; Adım, Şaduman Balaban; Başkan, Emel Bülbül; Aydoğan, Kenan; Sarıcaoğlu, Hayriye; YAZİCİ, SERKAN; Yazıcı, Elif Irmak; BALABAN ADIM, ŞADUMAN; BÜLBÜL BAŞKAN, EMEL; AYDOĞAN, KENAN; SARICAOĞLU, HAYRİYE; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Dermatoloji ve Zührevi Hastalıklar Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Patoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-6407-0962; 0000-0002-0193-1128; AAH-1388-2021; AAH-2459-2021; AAH-6216-2021; IHQ-3086-2023; EMN-0789-2022; DPU-8534-2022Background: There is limited data knowledge of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) in Turkey aside from a few case reports. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics, demographic features, therapeutic parameters, and outcome of primary cutaneous MCC cases from Turkey. Methods: Digital medical records of the 13 MCC patients who were followed-up at a tertiary referral center were retrospectively analyzed. Clinic, demographic, tumor characteristics, and survival of the patients were retrieved. Results: Most of our patients were elderly. Female predominance was noticed. The most common primary site of the tumors was the lower extremities. The overall survival was 42 months, 68% at first year, 68% at third years, and 29% at fifth years. Conclusion: This is the first largest report from Turkish population with female predominance, and lower extremity tendency.Publication Serum indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase level and diagnostic value in patients with rosacea(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2023-01-01) Odabaşı, Merve Sena; YAZİCİ, SERKAN; Özkaya, Güven; ÖZKAYA, GÜVEN; Başkan, Emel Bülbül; YILMAZTEPE ORAL, ARZU; BÜLBÜL BAŞKAN, EMEL; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Dermatoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Biyoistatistik Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Biyokimya Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-6407-0962; 0000-0003-0297-846X; JAX-2733-2023; A-4421-2016Background: Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), an enzyme in the first step of tryptophan catabolism, plays a role in the pathogenesis of various malignancies and inflammatory diseases. Although its pathogenesis is unclear, vascular dysregulation and chronic inflammation are the most common culprits for rosacea. Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between IDO and rosacea and whether there is a correlation with disease severity. Methods: Fifty-two patients with rosacea and 29 healthy volunteers were recruited. The patients were grouped according to severity stage, period, and subtype of the disease. Serum IDO levels were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Serum IDO levels were significantly higher in the patients with rosacea compared to the healthy controls (P < 0.001) and were significantly higher in the patients in remission period and with papulopustular type rosacea compared to the controls (P = 0.002 and P = 0.001, respectively). The serum IDO levels of the female rosacea patients were higher than those of the healthy female controls (P < 0.001). When the diagnostic value of the parameter was investigated, it was observed that the serum IDO level has high sensitivity (83.3%) and specificity (76.1%), with a cutoff value of 47.1 ng/mL for female rosacea patients. Conclusion: IDO was found to increase in rosacea patients. With the high specificity and sensitivity observed, especially in female patients, IDO may be a supporting parameter in the diagnosis of rosacea.
