Abstract

Background: Globally, gingivitis (gum inflammation) and dental caries (tooth decay) have a negative impact on the health and quality of life of children. Those from disadvantaged populations suffer disproportionally from poor oral health, yet much of the pathology and associated pain and suffering is preventable if children are taught simple and inexpensive practices that can improve their oral health. The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for more programs to improve children’s oral healthworldwide. Aims: To summarize how readily implemented school-based programs can provide knowledge and teach health practices that promote behaviors that can enable children to improve their oral health through better hygiene and a reduced incidence of gum disease and caries. Results: The WHO Health Promoting School (HPS) program model is well suited to address poor oral health. The model begins with community dialogue to establish understanding of the cause, adverse effects and approaches to prevention. Next teachers are helped to establish, sustain and evaluate an intervention in the local school. Intervention is based on the two core components of WHO HPS programs; first, teachers add health-related curriculum and visual aid production to classroom activities, and second, opportunities are added for children to participate in health-related practices while at school, for example tooth brushing or tooth stick sessions to clean their teeth after the lunch break. Conclusions: Poor oral health is an example of a worldwide public health issue of central importance to children where school-based intervention has been shown to have benefits, through changes in behaviors achieved through teaching a combination of simple factual knowledge and inexpensive health practices.

Abstract

Background: Smoking is a major cause of premature mortality worldwide. Smoking is recognized as the leading preventable cause of cancer and mortality from cancer. This study aims at estimating the number of cancer mortality and years of potential life lost (YPLL) attributable to smoking in GCC countries in 2015. Methods: Smoking prevalence was combined with Relative Risks (RRs) of cancer to obtain smoking attributable fractions (SAFs). Mortality data of people older than 15 years were derived from WHO deaths estimates while life expectation was obtained from WHO life tables 2015. Sixteen types of cancer were included in the analysis. Results: Smoking is responsible for 2,141 cancer deaths among people aged 15 years and above in GCC countries (1,895 deaths among men, 246 deaths among women). This represents 15% of cancer deaths in GCC (26.43% in male, 3.5% in female). Additionally, cancer deaths attributable to smoking were responsible for 40,485 YPLL (35,361 years among men, 5,124 years among women). Conclusion: Smoking causes a considerable burden in GCC countries in term of mortality and years of potential life lost. Effective smoking control initiatives and sustained efforts are needed to minimize cancer burden in the future.

Abstract

Background: Malaria stays a serious public health problem in many countries of the world. The border regions are difficult to control for the malaria elimination due to the importation or reintroduction of malaria. A key to address such problem is reinforcing of surveillance activities with rapid identification. The objective of the study was to describe the malaria incidence rate and analyze the space and time distribution of malaria incidence rate in the high endemic border areas between Myanmar andThailand, the Hlaingbwe Township and Tha Song Yang District. Methodology: Daily malaria data were collected, using a passive surveillance system, from patients visiting local health facilities in both Tha Song Yang and Hlaingbwe regions. ArcMap software version 10.4.1 was used to describe the disease mapping of malaria incidence rate in both regions. Results: Compared to their counterparts, male gender had higher malaria incidence rates in both Tha Song Yang and Hlaingbwe regions. Non-Thai people had higher incidence rate than Thai in Tha Song Yang district. The higher incidence rates had seasonal pattern and the pattern was similar in both regions. The areas with a higher incidence rate could be seen in both inner side and along Thai- Myanmar border (upper and lower parts) in Tha Song Yang area. But in Hlaingbwe Township, the higher incidence rate occurred only in the inner and upper parts except for Me La Yaw and Tar Le areas which are situated along the Thai-Myanmar border. Along the border, the higher incidence rates were connected to the adjacent area in upper and lower parts between these two regions. Conclusion: The descriptive statistics and presented map in this study gave the health policy makers an important overview of malaria situation in this regions in order to intervene high risk areas more effectively, and distribute the resources in a useful manner.

Abstract

Background: Intestinal parasitic infections are still regarded as the major public health problems in Thailand, especially in rural areas. The presence of intestinal parasites in school children is a wellaccepted indicator of poor personal hygiene and low economic standards. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections and its associated risk factors among primary school children (Grade 4 to 6) in Suan Phueng sub-district, Ratchaburi, Thailand, where is located atThai-Myanmar border areas. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at three selected governmental primary schools. A total of 252 school children (130 boys, 51.6% and 122 girls, 48.4%) were recruited in this study. Intestinal parasites were detected from their stool samples by using formalin ethyl-acetate concentration technique. Socio-demographic status and personal hygiene were assessed by a validated structured questionnaire. Results: An overall prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection was 19%. Poly-parasitism was found in 4% of school children. The most common parasite was Entamoeba coli (6.4%) followed by Ascaris lumbricoides (4.5%), Endolimax nana cyst (4.0%), and Giadia lumbria (1.8%). Additionally, family income, drinking water sources from school and home, hand-washing habit after using toilet, anal cleansing after defecation, and parents’ education level were significantly associated with intestinal parasitic infections. Conclusions: High prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections was found in primary school children at Suan Phueng sub-district, Ratchaburi, Thailand. Therefore, health promotion, modern health education, water sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs are crucial for prevention of intestinal parasitic infections in primary schools, particularly in Thai-Myanmar border areas. Reducing theprevalence of parasitic infections in school children may be of immense benefits on child growth, development, and educational outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Chest tube thoracostomy is a common procedure that offers in patients with medical emergency conditions. Severe complications or even death can occur to the patients if medical doctors do not well perform and skillfully. This study aims to find medical doctors’ perception of the realistic features of the chest tube thoracostomy simulation model, which was developed by researchers. Methods: Fifteen Myanmar medical doctors were voluntarily to enroll in a half-day, chest tube thoracostomy workshop. Data of medical doctors’ perception was collected using a 5-points Likert’s scale self-evaluation survey form. In addition, the participants were asked to write their comments or suggestions for the realistic features of the chest tube thoracostomy simulation model. Results: Medical doctors’ perception on the realistic features of the chest tube thoracostomy simulation model was positive by responding as agree and strongly agree. All experts perceived as strongly agree in cost effectiveness of the model (100%) and using the model in the procedural training (100%). The postgraduate doctors responded to similar human sensations and complying procedural steps as agree (92.3%) in both statements. All experts rated to self-confidence (100%) as agree whereas thepostgraduate doctors responded to it as agree (84.6%). Participants preferred the structures of the simulation model and its educational values for the chest tube thoracostomy procedural skills training. They suggested to use this simulation model for training medical students. Conclusion: The perception of the medical doctors on the realistic features of the chest tube thoracostomy simulation model showed that this simulation model could use as an effective educational tool in the procedural skills training.

Abstract

Background: Consumption of antioxidants has been evident to prevent diseases caused by free radicals damage. Antioxidants can be found in the form of peptide in various natural sources. From our previous study, to overcome obstacles of direct longan seed hydrolysate extraction, the recombinant Longan1 peptide which contains 4 repeats of ISYVVPVYIAEITPKTFRGGF linked by D was produced from Escherichia coli. The in vitro bioactive properties of this recombinant peptide were characterized. Methods: The recombinant and chemically synthesized Longan1 peptides were tested for bioactive activity including, DPPH, ABTS, and nitric oxide radical scavenging assays, the ability to protect plasmid DNA from hydroxyl radicals, anti-proliferative activity to several cancer cell lines, and antiinflammatory effects in cell culture level. Results: The recombinant peptide revealed antioxidative activities, including DPPH, ABTS, and nitric oxide radical scavenging activity, which are similar to the chemically-synthesized one. However, the recombinant peptide exhibited higher in vitro ability to protect DNA from hydroxyl radicals. The IC50 value of the recombinant Longan1 peptide could only be calculated through the assay of antiproliferation of stomach KATO-III cancer cell line, while IC50 value from the chemically synthesized peptide could not be calculated in any tested cell lines. Finally, the anti-inflammatory effect determined by the inhibition of nitric oxide production from macrophages RAW 264.7 activated by LPS revealed that the recombinant Longan1 peptide could inhibit nitric oxide production from macrophage cells, whereas the chemically-synthesized one could not. Conclusion: With all these properties, the recombinant Longan1 peptide seems to have bioactivity that can possibly be a candidate for further medical application or supplementary products.

Abstract

Background: There was 16.9% of population in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) Province with excess sugar intake, higher than national prevalence 4.8%. Nevertheless, there has not been studied yet about sugar intake of adolescents in this province. The adverse effects of excessive sugar intake leads to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and type 2 diabetes mellitus, directly and indirectly through body weight and fat gain in later life. Twenty to forty percent of overweight adolescents are twice likely todevelop CVD and seven times greater risk of atherosclerosis. Thus, it is important to prevent NCDs since the behaviours established during adolescent have life-long consequences particularly regarding NCDs in DIY Province. This study aims to assess the daily sugar intake and the main sources of sugar of adolescents in DIY province, Indonesia. Methods: This is an observational study with cross sectional design with the targeted population of all the adolescents aged 15 to 17 years old in urban and rural area of Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta province, Indonesia. Four schools were chosen with the total sample of 380 students. Four instruments were used in this study i.e. general information questionnaire, semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SFFQ), digital weighing scale and BIA analysis, and microtoise. Mann Whitney test was used to analyze the difference of daily sugar intake between urban and rural area. Statistical tests were considered as significant at P <0·05. Results: Means of daily sugar intake of adolescents were 107.0 g and 87.4 g in urban and rural area respectively. In urban area, the minimum intake of sugar was 15.2 g/day and the maximum intake of sugar was 317.2 g/day. Whereas in rural area, the minimum intake of sugar was 17.2 g/day and the maximum sugar intake was 87.4 g/day. There was a significant difference between average daily sugar intake of adolescents in urban and rural area (P= 0.004). Conclusion: The main sources of sugar intake of adolescents both in urban and rural area were sweetened beverages, additional foods and sweet snacks respectively.

Abstract

Background: Acne vulgaris is a skin disease caused by chronic inflammation of the follicular pilosebacea marked by the presence of blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts in place of healthy skin. One of the risk factors for Acne vulgaris is changing cosmetic brands which may contain comedogenic and acnegenic ingredients. The aim of this study is to find out the relationship of changing cosmetic brands and the prevalence of Acne vulgaris in female undergraduates. Methods: This was an observational study with cross sectional design. The subjects were 344 female undergraduates who used two out of four types of cosmetics, recruited by total sampling. Data were analyzed to see the relationship of changing cosmetic brands with the degree and the frequency of acne. Results: Based on Spearman correlation test, changing cosmetic brands has a strong positive correlation (r2= 0.762) with the degree of acne and a mild positive correlation (r2=0.461) with acne frequency. Chi-square test showed statistical significance (p<0.05) between changing cosmetic brands and the degree and frequency of acne. Subjects who frequently changes cosmetics has a 66 times higher risk of having bad acne (PR= 66.994; CI 95% = 32.099–139.320) and 8 times higher risk of having more frequent acne (PR= 8.432; CI 95% = 4.969-14.308) compared to subjects that do not frequently change cosmetics. Conclusion: Changing cosmetic brands increased the risk for both the degree of acne and the frequency of acne.

Abstract

Background: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is one of the leading causative agent of foodborne disease. Infection is caused by consumption of undercooked contaminated seafood. V. parahaemolyticus is commonly found in crustacean species and marine environment. Presence of this organism in avian host has been previously reported, however genetic analysis of avian V. parahaemolyticus is required for molecular epidemiological study of this organism. The aim of this study was to determine genetic profile of V. parahaemolyticus isolated from fecal aquatic bird samples by modified Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) method. Methods: Three housekeeping genes fragments (dnaE, gyrB and pntA) of total 18 V. parahaemolyticus isolates from fecal aquatic bird samples at Bangpoo resort, Samut Prakarn province, Thailand, during 2016-2017, were amplified by using conventional PCR for nucleotide sequencing. Nucleotide sequences were analyzed and phylogenetic tree were constructed by MEGA 7.0 software. Comparative genetic analysis of avian isolates from Thailand and worldwide isolates were performed by using information from MLST database of V. parahaemolyticus ( https://pubmlst.org /vparahaemolyticus/). Results: Three housekeeping genes of 18 isolates were successfully amplified and purified for nucleotide sequencing. Phylogenetic tree analysis of concatenated nucleotide sequences indicated that 18 Thai avian isolates were genetically diverse. Five isolates (MUVP 9, 11, 22, 23 and 24) represented identical genetic profile with clinical isolates from China, India, Japan and Peru. Other examined isolates were closely related to environmental isolates from China and United Kingdom. These resultsshowed that aquatic birds are natural reservoir of V. parahaemolyticus strains with multiple genetic background. Conclusion: This study indicated that aquatic birds possessed potentially pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus and may play a role in transmission of this organism across the countries.
