    One of the most important problems in finding blood donors is the inadequacy of volunteer number. To overcome this problem, one of the solutions we suggest is innovating new health benefits of blood donation. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of blood donation on oxidative status markers and acute-phase reactants. A total of 96 healthy volunteers were recruited into the study. Blood samples were withdrawn 5 min before and 24 h after the blood donation. Serum nitric oxide, malondialdehyde levels, and activity of superoxide dismutase and myeloperoxidase were measured spectrophotometrically. Serum levels of high-sensitive C-reactive protein and pentraxin-3 as acute-phase reactants were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. We found statistically significant lower pentraxin-3 and high-sensitive C-reactive protein levels and higher superoxide dismutase activity and nitric oxide level 24 h after blood donation in serum of blood donor when compared with before blood donation. These findings suggest that blood donation affected oxidative status and acute-phase reactants in donors. Blood donation removes oxidants and decreases oxidative stress by elevating antioxidant enzyme such as superoxide dismutase. This is one more health benefit or reason why we should donate blood. Further large-scale studies should evaluate this mechanism and compare the same effect of wet cupping therapy. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    The effect of different turkish song compositions on the sympathic and immunobiochemical parameters
    (Nobelmedicus Inkilap Mah. Akcakoca Sok. No: 10 Umraniye Istanbul 34768, 2015) Yüksel, Sevda; Kazancı, Fatmanur Hacıevliyagil; Çiftçi, Sefa; Altan, Merve; Yüksel, Mustafa T.; Erdamar, Hüsamettin; Yiğitoğlu, Ramazan
    Objective: Turkey is a rich country in musical heritage. Studies on the use of music for therapeutic purposes are increasing day by day. The Greek philosophers were convinced that music benefited health and specific recommendations were formulated for using music therapeutically against mental and physical illness. To evaluate the effects of different classical Turkish music styles (Saba, Muhayyer Kurdi, Hijaz, Ussak) on these parameters. Therefore we planned this research to accomplish all of these aims. Material and Method: Venous blood samples were collected before and after music listening and serum levels of serotonin, adrenalin, immunoglobulin A and cortisol were measured. Sixtyone healthy volunteers listened five different kinds of music (popular, rock, arabesque, European classical, classical Turkish music). Results: To compare the same parameters in each volunteer before and after music listening, the Wilcoxon signed-ranks were performed as appropriate. For tests of significance, a p-value of <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. All parameters were normally distributed. Conclusion: Our Statistical analysis results showed that cortisol level of the people listening Saba style decreased, Immunoglobulin A level decreased for the people who listened popular music and increased for the group listening Nihavent style and adrenaline level increased significantly in all groups except for the people listening Ussak style of music. © 2016 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
