To examine structural brain changes in patients with depression measured using voxel based morphometry(VBM) in comparison with healthy subjects. Relation between grey mater volume (GMV) and other structural changes, and the severity of clinical symptoms. To study if there is structural brain difference between psychotic and non-psychotic depression

The Individual Knowledge Statement Questionnaire of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patient and Resident Proxies questionnaire, which can be used in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and their relatives, will be adapted into Turkish and its psychometric properties will be examined, and the knowledge level of patients and their relatives about the disease and general health will be investigated.

A retrospective parallel group comparison study to support expansion of the indication of the company's FDA approved Spinalogic™ device to include the cervical spine. The SpinalogicTM device was initially approved by FDA as an adjunct to one- or two-level lumbar fusion (P910066/S011). It is a non-invasive bone growth stimulator (BGS) that generates a combined magnetic field (CMF) that has been proven to accelerate bone healing and fusion in the lumbar spine.

β 1 adrenergic autoantibody on cardiomyocytes β 1 adrenergic receptor increased the occurrence of malignant arrhythmia in patients with chronic heart failure, accelerated myocardial cell damage, and participated in sudden cardiac death. Our team found for the first time that endogenous orphanin enkephalin promotes arrhythmia after acute myocardial ischemia in rats, and its mechanism includes PKC pathway, regulation of action potential duration and cell membrane surface β 1 adrenoceptor internalization disorder. At the same time, N / OFQ can regulate the level of immune factors, and immune factors participate in the formation of β1-aa. This study will be verified by clinical observation and animal experiments: first, N / OFQ, IL-6 and chronic ischemic heart failure, and β 1-aa; second, relationship between IL-6 gene 572G / C polymorphism and chronic ischemic heart failure correlation of β 1-aa production; last, objective to verify whether N / OFQ is involved in the regulation of IL-6 on chronic ischemic heart failure by knocking out N/ OFQ gene in the animal model of chronic ischemic heart failure. So as to clarify the mechanism of myocardial cell and extracellular injury, and find a new target for the treatment of chronic heart failure.

1.Assessment of slit2 level in SLE patients and its correlation with disease activity. 2-Assessment of slit2 level in SSC patients and its correlation with disease activity

Multiple studies showed the negative impact thalassemia disease and its therapy have on the cognition of these patients. This study aims to assess and compare the cognition, psychological impact and quality of life among patients with B thalassemia major, requiring regular blood transfusion, patients with B thalassemia intermedia, who don't, and healthy controls. Thus, estimating the role of blood transfusion and hemosiderosis in cognitive impairment, psychological symptoms, and low quality of life in these patients.

Several deformities of the spine exist such as degenerative lumbar scoliosis. These deformities can generate functional discomfort and limit the patient's quality of life. In the event of severe trunk imbalance and progression of the deformity, operative correction of the spinal deformity by instrumentation and posterior arthrodesis may be indicated. Surgical techniques and instrumentation have evolved over the past 5 years. These changes in surgical strategies have a potential impact on the patient's quality of life and the correction results in the medium and long term. The aim of the study is the analysis of surgical corrections obtained and radiological changes over time with classic 2-rod techniques versus modern 4-rod instrumentation techniques

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) was considered as a heterogeneous disease with multi-organ and multi-system design, which is related to various complications, such as hypertension, obesity and arteriosclerosis. Studies have found that hypertension and obesity are respectively associated with increased arterial stiffness. However, there is still no research investigating the the relationship between lipids distribution and arterial stiffness in HFpEF patients.

The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 was identified as the causative agent for a series of atypical respiratory diseases in Wuhan, China in December of 2019(.1) The disease termed COVID-19, was officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. SARS-CoV-2 contains a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genome surrounded by an extracellular membrane containing a series of spike glycoproteins resembling a crown.COVID-19 infection results in diverse symptoms and morbidity depending on individual genetics, ethnicity, age, and geographic location. In severe cases, COVID-19 pathophysiology includes destruction of lung epithelial cells, thrombosis, hypercoagulation, and vascular leak leading to sepsis.(2) COVID-19 risk factors include cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes.(2)

This study aims to describe the clinical outcomeand the radiological appearance of aneurysmal bone cyst treated by means of interventional radiology procedures (percutaneous sclerosis and endovascular embolization)
