Yayın Reflection and transmission of nonlinear waves from arterial branching(Elsevier Ltd, 2006-10) Demiray, HilmiIn this work, treating the arteries as a prestressed thin walled elastic tube and the blood as an inviscid fluid, we have studied the reflection and transmission of nonlinear waves from arterial branching, through the use of reductive perturbation method. The reflected and the transmitted waves at the bifurcation point are calculated in terms of the incident wave. The numerical results indicate that the reflected wave is comparatively small whereas the transmitted waves in branches are comparable with the incident wave. This result is quite consistent with the experimental measurements [N. Sergiopulos, M. Spiridon, F. Pythoud, J.J. Meister, On wave transmission and reflection properties of stenosis, J. Biomechanics 26 (1996) 31-38].Yayın Propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in fluid-filled thin elastic tubes(Elsevier Science, 2002-11-25) Demiray, HilmiIn the present work, we study the propagation of nonlinear waves in a prestressed thin elastic tube filled with an incompressible inviscid fluid. Considering the physiological conditions under which the arteries function, in the analysis the tube is assumed to be subjected to a uniform inner pressure P-0 and the axial stretch ratio lambda(z). In the course of blood flow, a dynamical displacement field is superimposed on this static deformation. Treating the blood as an incompressible inviscid fluid, the nonlinear equations of motion of both the tube and the fluid are obtained. Employing the reductive perturbation method, the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in the longwave approximation is investigated and the Korteweg-de Vries equations are obtained as the governing equation. It is observed that the present formulation gives two solitary waves associated with dilatational and shear motions of the tube. The results are also discussed for some elastic materials existing in the current literature.Yayın Head-on collision of solitary waves in fluid-filled elastic tubes(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2005-08) Demiray, HilmiIn this work, treating the arteries as a thin walled, prestressed thin elastic tube and the blood as an inviscid fluid, we have studied the propagation of nonlinear waves, in the longwave approximation, through the use of extended PLK perturbation method. The results show that, up to O(epsilon(2)), the head-on collision of two solitary waves is elastic and the solitary waves preserve their original properties after the collision. The leading-order analytical phase shifts and the trajectories of two solitons after the collision are derived explicitly.Yayın Waves in fluid-filled elastic tubes with a stenosis: Variable coefficients KdV equations(Elsevier B.V., 2007-05-15) Demiray, HilmiIn the present work, by treating the arteries as thin-walled prestressed elastic tubes with a stenosis and the blood as an inviscid fluid we have studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in such a medium, in the longwave approximation, by employing the reductive perturbation method. The variable coefficients KdV and modified KdV equations are obtained depending on the balance between the nonlinearity and the dispersion. By seeking a localized progressive wave type of solution to these evolution equations, we observed that the wave speeds takes their maximum values at the center of stenosis and gets smaller and smaller as one goes away from the stenosis. Such a result seems to reasonable from the physical point of view.Yayın Effects of laurocerasus officinalis roem (Cherry Laurel) on cognitive function and neurobiochemical pathways in a streptozotocin-induced nontransgenic Alzheimer's disease model(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2026-03-08) Özsoy, Fulya; Yanar, Karolin; Sayılı, Uğurcan; Atukeren, Pınar; Uzun, HafizeBackground: This study investigated the effects of Laurocerasus officinalis Roem (cherry laurel; CL), a traditionally consumed fruit, on cognitive performance and selected neurobiochemical and metabolic pathways in a nontransgenic streptozotocin (STZ)-induced Alzheimer’s disease (i.c.v. STZ) model and an STZ-induced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM; i.p. STZ) model. Method: Fifty-seven adult male Sprague–Dawley rats were allocated to control, T2DM, and Alzheimer (ALZ) model groups, with subgroup interventions including CL supplementation and, in the T2DM model, metformin as a comparator. Spatial learning and memory were assessed using the Morris Water Maze. Serum and brain tissue levels of GSK3-β, glutathione (GSH), interleukin-1 (IL-1), GLUT4, GLP-1, β-amyloid (Aβ), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were quantified. Results: Serum GSK3-β levels did not differ significantly between groups, whereas brain tissue GSK3-β showed significant between-group differences. CL increased GSH levels in both models, with significant elevations in serum and brain tissue GSH in the ALZ model following CL administration; in the T2DM model, GSH increased after both CL and metformin. In the ALZ model, CL was associated with decreased serum Aβ and AChE levels and improved Morris Water Maze performance, reflected by reduced escape latencies. Conclusions: CL supplementation was associated with antioxidant enhancement and modulation of amyloid- and cholinergic-related measures, alongside improved spatial learning performance in the STZ-induced nontransgenic ALZ model. In addition, CL reduced blood glucose in the T2DM model. Given the likely contribution of fruit phytochemicals (including total phenolics), further studies are warranted to better define the bioactive composition and mechanisms underlying these effects.
