Abstract

BackgroundStudies with emphasis on pure and mixed-species biofilms are of significant importance in understanding biofilm formation mechanisms during microbial infections. This research aims to evaluate pure- and dual-species biofilms of Escherichia coli (code A), Staphylococcus aureus (code B), Klebsiella pneumoniae (code C) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (code D) pathogenic bacterial species and their production of biofilm exopolysaccharides at laboratory scale. MethodsBiofilm biomass (A595) of pure- and dual-species cultures was determined by means of a microtiter plate assay in triplicate using a microplate photometer (Fisher Scientific, type-357). Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and soluble microbial products (SMP) were extracted from the biofilm cells (pure- and dual-species cultures) using the alkaline-heat extraction method. Dry weights (g/L) of EPS and SMP were determined by drying the samples at 105 °C for 8 hours. ResultsKlebsiella pneumoniae biofilm biomass accounted for a 28-72% greater biofilm biomass than the other bacteria. Experimental values of dual-species biofilm biomasses were in the range of 6% to 30% over theoretical values. The experimental value of one dual-species (bacteria B + D) biofilm biomass was 30% higher than its expected value. Decrease or increase in the dual-species biofilm biomass of either bacteria A+C or bacteria B+C combinations was totally dependent on the cell density of bacteria C. Conclusions Biofilm biomass of pure-species cultures was totally species-dependent, and the biofilm biomass of four species was in the following order: bacteria C > D > A > B. Relation between biofilm biomasses and SMP or EPS was inconsistent.

Abstract

BackgroundObesity has become a major health issue in the world and directly reduces the quality of life. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of aerobic and resistance exercises on body composition and quality of life (QoL) in overweight and obese women. Method An experimental study involving 90 overweight/obese women aged between 20-45 years participated in the study voluntarily and were randomized into control (n=30), aerobic exercise (AE) (n=30), and resistance exercise (RE) (n=30) groups. Either AE or RE groups performed exercise for 60 minutes per day for 10 weeks, whereas the control group did not perform any exercise. The body composition and QoL of the women were measured before and after the exercise. ResultsBody weight, BMI, fat mass, and waist and hip circumferences decreased significantly in both AE and RE groups after the exercise intervention compared to the control group (p<0.05). In addition, quality of life sub-dimensions including physical health, psychological health, social relationship, and environment sub-dimensions improved significantly in the AE and RE groups compared to the control group (p<0.001). Post hoc Tukey test showed that AE was as effective as RE for improving body composition parameters and QoL sub dimension compared to control group. ConclusionThis study demonstrated that both AE and RE were effective in improving body composition and thereby increasing the QoL in overweight and obese women. Both AE and RE programs are effective and should be considered within any multicomponent therapy program in overweight and obese women.

Abstract

BackgroundLabor pain is one of the most painful experiences in a women's life. One of the methods of pain relief is spinal anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of spinal anesthesia with sufentanil on the length of the first and second stages of labor in singleton pregnant women. MethodsA randomized clinical trial was conducted involving 56 women who had to be at least 37 weeks pregnant with a singleton pregnancy and 20 to 35 years of age, as well as seeking a spontaneous natural delivery. They were randomized into an intervention group (spinal anesthesia with sufentanil) of 28 subjects and a control group (no spinal anesthesia) of 28 subjects. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software program 20.0. ResultsMean duration of stage I of labor was 152.32 ± 92.01 and 187.68 ± 121.01 minutes in the intervention and control groups, respectively (p=0.34), whereas mean duration of stage II of labor in the 2 groups was 15.96 ± 14.26 and 26.43 ± 20.90 minutes, respectively (p=0.06). Twenty five percent of women in the intervention group and 35.71% of women in the control group experienced a long stage I, whereas 21.43% of women in the intervention group and 35.71% of women in the control group experienced a long stage II (p>0.05). ConclusionThis study suggests that spinal anesthesia with sufentanil does not increase the duration of labor stages. It is recommended that more studies be performed in the future using larger sample sizes to allow for the drawing of solid conclusions.
