ORGANOPHOSPHATES IN MECONIUM OF NEWBORN BABIES WHOSE MOTHERS RESIDED IN AGRICULTURAL AREAS OF THAILAND.
Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health. 2020 Mar 02;51(1):77-87
Authors: Onchoi C, Kongtip P, Nankongnab N, Chantanakul S, Sujirarat D, Woskie S
Abstract
Organophosphates (OPs) are widely used for pest and weed control in many countries including Thailand. In addition to causing environmental pollution, OPs affect human health by overstimulating neurotoxicants, and OP exposure during pregnancy can lead to adverse health effects of mothers and their fetuses. Using gas chromatog...

Malaria self-care in nimboran subdistrict, jayapura district, papua province, indonesia.
This study was an observation in Nimboran Subdistrict, Jayapura District,
Papua Province, Indonesia during 2013. Thirty individuals from ‘Pengurus Rukun
Tetangga’ group were chosen randomly for the survey. Facts evaluated were
knowledge of cause of malaria, disease transmission, symptoms and complication,
diagnosis, treatment and side effects, medical seeking behavior and treatment,
vector breeding sites, and attitude towards compliance of malaria treatment and
use of mosquito nets. Self-care against malaria was considered important by 65%
of the respondents. All participants had visited health centers and complied wit...

A simple and effective multiplex pcr technique for detecting human pathogenic taenia eggs in houseflies.
A SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE MULTIPLEX PCR TECHNIQUE FOR DETECTING HUMAN PATHOGENIC TAENIA EGGS IN HOUSEFLIES.
Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health. 2017 Jan;48(1):9-17
Authors: Pornruseetriratn S, Maipanich W, Sa-nguankiat S, Pubampen S, Poodeepiyasawat A, Thaenkham U
Abstract
Taenia solium, T. saginata, and T. asiatica are cestode pathogens causing
taeniasis in humans. Houseflies can transfer Taenia eggs to food. However,
houseflies are thought to carry only small numbers of Taenia eggs, sometimes
fewer than 10. Although several PCR-based methods have been developed to
detect Taen...

Preliminary survey of entomopathogenic nematodes in upper northern thailand.
The objective of this study was to survey EPNs in
upper northern Thailand. Nine hundred seventy soil samples were obtained from
194 sites in upper northern region of Thailand; of these 60 (6.2%) had EPNs in 2
genera: Steinernema (32 isolates) and Heterorhabditis (28 isolates). Most EPNs were
isolated from loam with a soil temperature of 24-38°C, a pH of 1.5-7.0 and a soil
moisture content of 0.5-6.8%. Molecular identification based on sequencing of a
partial region of an internal transcribed spacer was performed for Heterorhabditis
and the 28S rDNA for Steinernema. A BLASTN search of known sequence EPNs
revealed 24 isolat...

Larvicidal and pupicidal activities of crude and fractionated extracts of acacia pennata (l.) willd. subsp insuavis shoot tips against aedes aegypti (l.) (diptera: culicidae).
In this study, we investigated two new actions of this
plant: larvicide and pupicide. The crude ethanolic and fractionated extracts of A.
pennata shoot tips were tested against aquatic stages of the dengue virus vector,
Aedes aegypti mosquito. The 1st-4th instar larvae and pupae of Ae. aegypti were
subjected for bioassays by following the standard protocol of WHO. The larval
and pupal mortalities were observed after 24- and 48-hour exposure times. The
bioassays demonstrated that stronger efficacy was found from the fractionated
extracts than the crude extracts. The LC50 values against the 3rd instar larvae were
39.45-50.75...

CONSTRUCTION AND EXPRESSION OF H5N1 INFLUENZA VIRUS HEMAGGLUTININ-SPECIFIC scFv-Fc MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES IN HEK293T CELLS.
Authors: Pipattanaboon C, Boonha K, Benjathummarak S, Pitaksajjakul P, Ramasoota P
Abstract
Monoclonal antibody (MAb) is a key element in the development of
rapid test kits for many infectious diseases. Our group previously developed
two antigen-binding fragment (Fab) MAbs, H5Fab-6 and H5Fab-9, specific to
hemagglutinin (H5 HA) of influenza A virus H5N1, but these Fabs do not have a
constant fragment (Fc) portion with which to bind with gold particles in a strip
test. In order to overcome this impediment, we joined a single-chain variable fragment
(scFv) with an Fc region to produce a scFv-Fc MAb, which wa...

Clinical outcomes of cryptococcal meningitis among hiv-infected patients in the era of antiretroviral therapy.
This study aimed to
determine the survival rate and prognostic factors among HIV-infected patients
with CM in the era of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Understanding of these facts
may help clinicians to manage CM patients efficiently and patients with poor
prognostic factors could be closely monitored. We conducted a retrospective cohort
study among new cases of HIV-associated CM who were treated at Ramathibodi
Hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand, during 2002-2013. Of 195 patients, 119
(61%) were male; the median (interquartile range, IQR) age was 33 (29-39) years.
The median (IQR) CD4 cell count was 20 (9-44) cells/mm3...

Authors: Gündem NS, Kalem F
Abstract
The aims of this study were to determine seroprevalence of rubella antibodies
among Turkish and foreign women living in Turkey and to estimate percent
women susceptible to rubella infection. This retrospective study was conducted
among 970 women (816 Turks) attending gynecology and obstetrics outpatient
clinics. Serum samples were tested for anti-rubella IgG and IgM by chemiluminescent
microparticle imm...

Burkholderia pseudomallei biofilm plays a key role in chronic inflammation in c57bl/6 mice.
This study investigated the role of B. pseudomallei biofilm in
chronic inflammation in lungs of infected C57BL/6 mice. Low doses of B. pseudomallei
H777 and its biofilm defective M10 mutant were fed intra-gastrically to
C57BL/6 mice and inflammatory responses were investigated by histopathological
techniques. Two hundred colony forming units (CFUs) of B. pseudomallei H777
induced chronic inflammatory responses in mice on day 20 post-infection, with
discrete interstitial infiltration by mononuclear inflammatory cells. On day 40 postinfection,
there were marked thickening of alveolar septa and congested capillaries,
which in...

Characterization of extraintestinal pathogenic escherichia coli from meat in southern thailand.
CHARACTERIZATION OF EXTRAINTESTINAL PATHOGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI FROM MEAT IN SOUTHERN THAILAND.
Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health. 2017 Jan;48(1):98-108
Authors: Sukkua K, Pomwised R, Rattanachuay P, Khianngam S, Sukhumungoon P
Abstract
Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is an E. coli group,
which causes diseases in systems outside human intestinal tract. ExPEC isolates
were recovered from fresh chicken (25%) and pork (10%) meats, but not beef and
shrimp, from markets in southern Thailand. Among the 14 ExPEC strains isolated,
all carried iutA and fimH, codi...
