Особенности интервенционных вмешательств при хронических коронарных окклюзиях у больных с ишемической болезнью сердца после аортокоронарного шунтирования. Состояние вопроса и собственный опыт
Authors: Furkalo S. N.
Published: August 2019

В течение 10 лет после аортокоронарного шунтирования (АКШ) 60 % венозных шунтов и 90 % трансплантатов внутренней грудной артерии (ВГА) остаются функционирующими. Частота прогрессирования проксимальных стенозов шунтированных артерий до полных окклюзий составляет 22 % при использовании ВГА как артериального анастомоза и 48 % в среднем после применения аутовенозных трансплантатов. В соответствии с литературными данными, при многофакторном анализе больные, перенесшие АКШ и подвергающиеся последующей коронарной ангиопластике, имеют более высокий риск вмешательства в отношении смертности и послеоперационных осложнений. Если реканализация артерии прошла успешно, смертность достигала 2,6 %, в случае частичного успеха – 5,2 %, а в случае неудачи летальность составила 8,2 %.

При вмешательстве у больных после АКШ предпочтительной является реканализация окклюзий нативных коронарных артерий, нежели аорто-коронарных трансплантатов.

В настоящей работе представлен анализ возможных интервенционных подходов к реканализации коронарного русла у больных после АКШ, обсужден собственный опыт и практические наработки. Реканализации хронических окклюзий коронарных артерий в различные сроки после АКШ с общей технической эффективностью 75 % подверглись 52 больных.

У статті представлений огляд літератури та аналіз власного досвіду лікування пацієнтів з гіпертрофічною кардіоміопатією (ГКМП) та ожирінням. Ожиріння є значущим фактором ризику розвитку серцево-судинних захворювань та їх перебігу. Хоча в літературі описаний «парадокс ожиріння», показано, що він відображає зворотну причинність: втрата ваги є наслідком тяжкої хвороби, а не її причиною.

Доведено, що ожиріння в пацієнтів із ГКМП асоціюється з більшою масою лівого шлуночка (ЛШ), тяжчими симптомами, нижчою толерантністю до фізичних навантажень і лабільною обструктивною гемодинамікою. Нами був досліджений вплив ожиріння на результати проведення алкогольної септальної абляції (АСА) в пацієнтів з ГКМП.

Було показано, що АСА в пацієнтів з ГКМП та ожирінням у більшості випадків здатна покращити клінічний перебіг захворювання (зменшити симптоми, покращити функціональний клас), при цьому анатомічні та гемодинамічні результати проведеної процедури в пацієнтів з ожирінням та з нормальним індексом маси тіла не відрізнялись у безпосередній період спостережень. Алкогольна септальна абляція рекомендована як метод вибору в пацієнтів з гіпертрофічною кардіоміопатією та ожирінням.

Pemahaman ini penting bagi para pegiat pendidikan melek media agar mampu melakukan kritik terhdap berbagai media yang melanggar aturan dan etika media yang ada di Indonesia sehingga terhindar dari berita yang bohong (hoax). Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif, dengan jenis penelitian studi kasus pada media social. Analisis data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan Teori Narartive Analysis. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan studi dokumen dan teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan Purposive Sampling. Hasil dari dari penelitian ini menunjukkan Literasi media sama sekali bukanlah gerakan anti-media. Justru merupakan tindakan yang kita lakukan untuk menjaga media agar tetap bisa menjalankan fungsinya di tengah masyarakat. Dengan melek media, media massa akan memiliki khalayak bukan konsumen yang pada gilirannya akan memengaruhi bagaimana seharusnya media menjalankan peranya. Bila media tetap memperlakukan khalayak sebagai konsumen maka media akan mendapat tekanan dari khalayak.

 

Now humans live in the mass communication age of human life now can’t be separated from the mass media. Complaints about the impact of the mass media are often heard. For that it is necessary to understand what is media literacy. This understanding is important for media literacy education activists to be able to criticize the media who violate the rules and ethics of the media in Indonesia, so avoid that false news (hoaxes). The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative, with the type of case study research on social media. Analysis of the data in this study using Narrative Analysis Theory. Data collection techniques in this study using document studies and sampling techniques using Purposive Sampling. The results of this study indicate that media literacy is by no means an anti-media movement. It is precisely the action we take to keep the media in order to stay functional in society. With media literacy, mass media will have the audience not the consumer who in turn would affect how the media should carry out its role. If the media still treats the audience as a consumer then the media will get pressure from the audience. Then in order to literacy truth of a media (news) could see how the narrative (status) is growing.
The Ongoing Crisis in Côte d’Ivoire: The Historic Responsibility of Félix Houphouët-Boigny
Authors: Meledje Jean-Claude
Published: August 2019

This article argues that the root causes of the conflict can be traced back to the leadership of Félix Houphouët-Boigny, the first President of the independent, post-colonial nation. Houphouët-Boigny failed to successfully manage a leadership transition from his generation to the next. During his three decades of rule, there were no plans made for his succession. When he ultimately died in office, the result was political, economic, and social instability. Consequently, the country was plunged into ongoing crises and conflicts. President Houphouët-Boigny had been the dominant political force of Côte d’Ivoire. His political skills made the country one of the most stable in the continent. Despite the rise of opposition from students, teachers, trade unionists and northern ethnic groups – all of whom were resentful of the southerner’s dominance of government, Houphouët-Boigny was able to restore calm through political dialogue. In 1987, Houphouët-Boigny’s advanced age – he was at least 81- contributed to the succession issue’s centrality in Ivorian politics. However, Houphouët-Boigny manipulated the Constitution. This caused frustration and set the stage for Houphouet-Boigny to remain in his role for the remainder of his life, despite a massive demonstration in Abidjan on May 31st, 1991, where 20,000 protesters chanted for ‘Houphouët-Boigny to resign.’ Consequently, a public leadership contest after Houphouët-Boigny’s passing reopened old wounds among interest groups which sought more economic and political power. This triggered the country’s ongoing crisis.

Published: August 2019

Pineapple plants are usually propagated vegetatively by utilizing the base of the fruit (ratoone), stem buds (sucker), fruit buds (slip) and crown (crown). Propagation of plants by utilizing parts of the plant is less effective in meeting the needs because the planting material produced is small and requires a long time. An alternative to the propagation of pineapple to increase the amount of planting material is by tissue culture techniques. This study aims to obtain the best types of complex organic compounds and the right concentration for the growth of pineapple shoots in vitro. The research was conducted in June 2017 until October 2017 at the Laboratory of Agronomy at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Bengkulu. Complete randomized design with 3 replications was used to allocate 9 treatments of complex organic compounds. The basic media used are the composition of Murashige and Skoog (MS). Treatment consists of 1) Coconut water 100 ml / l, 2) Coconut water 150 ml / l, 3) Coconut water 200 ml / l, 4) Banana porridge 100 gl / l, 5) Banana pulp 150 g / l, 6) Banana slurry 200 g / l, 7) Bean sprout extract 100 g / l, 8) Bean sprout extract 150 g / l, 9) Bean sprout extract 200 g / l. The results showed that at 16 weeks after MS media planting the addition of 100 g / l banana pulp was able to produce the highest plant height with an average of 3.45 cm. MS media with the addition of 200 ml coconut water resulted in the highest shoot height of 1.5 cm and followed by MS with the addition of 100 g / l media of banana pulp with an average of 0.9 cm. MS media with the addition of 100 ml / l of coconut water is suitable for the growth of pineapple roots with the average value of the number of roots and the highest length of roots. MS media with the addition of bean sprout extract with various concentrations is not able to stimulate shoot growth and has a growth response that tends to be slow. Keywords: Pineapple, In Vitro, Complex Organic Compounds.

Forecasting Australian port throughput: Lessons and Pitfalls in the era of Big Data
Authors: banerjee soumya
Published: August 2019

Modelling and forecasting port throughput enables stakeholders to make efficient decisions ranging from management of port development, to infrastructure investments, operational restructuring and tariffs policy. Accurate forecasting of port throughput is also critical for long-term resource allocation and short-term strategic planning. In turn, efficient decision-making enhances the competitiveness of a port. However, in the era of big data we are faced with the enviable dilemma of having too much information. We pose the question: is more information always better for forecasting? We suggest that more information comes at the cost of more parameters of the forecasting model that need to be estimated. We comparemultiple forecasting models of varying degrees of complexity and quantify the effect of the amount of data on model forecasting accuracy. Our methodology serves as a guideline for practitioners in this field. We also enjoin caution that even in the era of big data more information may not always be better. It would be advisable for analysts to weigh the costs of adding more data: the ultimate decision would depend on the problem, amount of data and the kind of models being used.

Published: August 2019

Program akselerasi pengembangan kapas sebagai upaya percepatan peningkatan luas areal dan produksi kapas dilakukan dalam rangka meningkatkan pemenuhan kebutuhan serat kapas sebagai bahan baku industri tekstil dalam negeri sekaligus terus mengurangi ketergantungan impor kapas. Dukungan pemerintah dalam pengembangan kapas dilakukan berupa kebijakan harga kapas yang menarik, pemberian subsidi saprodi (benih, pupuk, pestisida) untuk meringankan biaya usaha tani kapas bagi petani, pembaharuan sistem penyuluhan serta mendorong transfer dan adopsi teknologi produksi oleh petani.Salah satu simpul keberhasilan perumusan kebijaksanaan dan program pertanian yang efektif dan terintegrasi memerlukan kesamaan cara pandang dan berpikir dalam melihat efisiensi suatu sistem komoditas. Dari kesamaan cara pandang dan berpikir dalam melihat efisiensi inilah dapat ditelusuri dan diformulasikan lebih lanjut faktor-faktor apa saja yang dominan mempengaruhi subsistem produksi usahatani kapas dan efisiensi produksinya. Pada akhirnya apabila telah terlihat seluruh gambaran menyeluruh dari suatu sistem usahatani kapas, maka dapatlah dikatakan bahwa efisiensi berkaitan erat dengan peningkatan daya saing komoditas untuk mendorong pengusahaannya oleh petani secara luas.Jika dalam usahatani yang dilakukan petani mendapatkan perbedaan produksi dan menemukan adanya daya saing yang diakibatkan oleh perubahan teknologi, maka preferensi petani untuk usahatani kapas akan berubah tergantung pada sikap dan perilakunya terhadap risiko. Hal ini berarti bahwa tingkat efisiensi yang tinggi yang diikuti oleh keunggulan bersaing sebagai prasyarat penting (necessary condition) pada pengembangan usahatani kapas rakyat tidaklah cukup, syarat kecukupannya (sufficiency condition) adalah kinerja pasar input dan hasil produksi yang mampu memberikan harapan insentif peningkatan produksi dan pendapatan bagi petani, sehingga mendorong petani untuk berani menghadapi kemungkinan terjadinya risiko (risk lover).

Personal Hygiene Behavior of Butonese Adolescent Females during the Posuo Ritual in Baubau
Authors: Adkar Sri Wahyu Safitri
Published: August 2019

Butonese people have posuo tradition, a ritual or ceremony that marks a transition of girls who have entered puberty. In this tradition, young women are locked up for eight days. This study discusses the importance of personal hygiene of Buton tribal girls in supporting the posuo tradition in Baubau, Buton Island. This study is a qualitative study with rapid ethnographic approach. We used purposive sampling with a total of 14 informants. To help young women relate to personal hygiene in implementing the posuo tradition, the data were analyzed by thematic techniques and the validity of the data by triangulation approach. The results of this study are the posuo tradition, which is a ceremony held as a means to mark the transition period of adolescent girls to adulthood, and to prepare them mentally. Posuo is conducted eight days in a special room called suo. During their confinement in suo, the girls were kept away from the outside world, both from their families and the surrounding environment. These girls are only allowed to communicate with bhisa. This study which included seven adolescent girls showed how they acquiesce personal hygiene for the sake of traditional processions. The results of the study are expected to give the implication of the need for education from health workers about personal hygiene, with the specific targets of Buton tribal girls.
Flexible Yet Fair: Blinding Analyses in Experimental Psychology
Authors: Dutilh Gilles , Sarafoglou Alexandra , Wagenmakers Eric-Jan
Published: August 2019

The replicability of findings in experimental psychology can be improved by distinguishing sharply between hypothesis-generating research and hypothesis-testing research. This distinction can be achieved by preregistration, a method that has recently attracted widespread attention. Although preregistration is fair in the sense that it inoculates researchers against hindsight bias and confirmation bias, preregistration does not allow researchers to analyze the data flexibly without the analysis being demoted to exploratory. To alleviate this concern we discuss how researchers may conduct blinded analyses (MacCoun & Perlmutter, 2015). As with preregistration, blinded analyses break the feedback loop between the analysis plan and analysis outcome, thereby preventing cherry-picking and significance seeking. However, blinded analyses retain the flexibility to account for unexpected peculiarities in the data. We discuss different methods of blinding, offer recommendations for blinding of popular experimental designs, and introduce the design for an online blinding protocol.
Reducing Inequality through Technology Diffusion: The Case of 3D printing in Public Libraries
Authors: Woodson Thomas , Telendii Nataliia , Tolliver Robert
Published: August 2019

3D printers are hailed as the next revolutionary technology, yet few scholars have studied whether 3D printing will decrease poverty and inequality. This paper determines the availability and accessibility of 3D printing technology in low-income communities through public libraries and gives insights on how libraries use 3D printers. By examining the 2013 Digital Inclusion Survey and conducting interviews, we found that libraries are quickly acquiring 3D printers; however, the technology is not being fully adopted by the patrons due to the lack of training, software and practical applications of the technology. Also, we found out that the cost to use a 3D printer in public libraries is relatively low, and does not prevent patrons from accessing the technology. Overall, we believe that libraries will only play a small role in providing availability and accessibility to 3D printing technology for marginalized communities.

Authors: Thorsteinsson Einar , James Jack E. , Douglas M. Elizabeth , Omodei Mary M.
Published: August 2019

The effects of social support on cardiovascular and cortisol reactivity during stressful situations were examined. Sixty healthy male and female participants were randomly allocated to support, no-support, or alone conditions. In the active challenge, participants had higher diastolic blood pressure in the support than the alone condition. In the passive challenge, the support condition reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure reactivity compared with no-support, and heart rate compared with the alone condition. The active and passive challenges elicited “mixed” and vascular hemodynamic profile, respectively. The results partly support the health benefits of support through reduced reactivity in stressful situations.

Background: Severe burns injury can affect several vital systems in the body and can cause inflammation in organs such as the heart, liver, and kidney. Many inflammatory mediators and regulatory hormones related to burn injuries are recognized. In this study, the genes related to burn injury interacted via network analysis, and the central nodes were enriched through gene ontology (GO). Materials and Methods: Disease query of STRING database was used for data gathering, and the network was constructed using Cytoscape software version 3.6.0. After gene screening, the central nodes were enriched via GO analysis by ClueGO. The highlighted genes and pathways were clustered and analyzed in detail. Results: Among 1067 genes, 35 critical genes that are involved in the 14 highlighted biochemical pathways were recognized. Interpretation of the finding indicates that a number of central genes can be considered as potential biomarkers related to burn injury. Conclusion: Can we revise to “Burn injuries have features that are common to several  diseases and increases their risk. [GMJ.2019;8:e1257]

Background: 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine is psychoactive and hallucinogenic and has been shown to produce neurotoxicity both in animals and in humans. Recently, vasodilator drugs such as pentoxifylline (PTX) have been introduced as an alternative with neuroprotective effects. There is no study about the protective effect of PTX on hippocampal apoptosis due to high-dose administration of 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), so in this study, the protective effect of PTX on the hippocampus of male Wistar rats following high-dose of the drug has been investigated. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into four groups: control, sham (MDMA injection), experimental (MDMA+PTX injection), and vehicle (MDMA+saline) groups. Two weeks later, the brains were removed and prepared for TUNEL and western blot techniques. Concomitantly the hippocampus was removed to study the change in Bcl-2 and BAX mRNA expression with quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: Data showed that the number of apoptotic bodies significantly decreased in the experimental group compared to the other groups, except for in control. Also, further investigation revealed that BAX reduced considerably, while Bcl-2 mRNA expression increased dramatically after PTX treatment. Conclusions: Our results suggest that PTX may be a neuroprotective agent, and its neuroprotective potential may contribute to reducing the severity of lesions in the hippocampus following a high dose administration of MDMA.

Slepaya Zalezh is the largest ore body of the Tyrnyauz Mo-W deposit. It is the priority object on the renewal of its operation. A dissemination of molibdoscheelite, scheelite and molibdenite, controling ore concentrations, is confined to metasomatic rocks of the productive stage, laid on skarns, near-skarn rocks, hornfelses and marbles. The types of the ores are divided accordingly of ratio in them of different facies of ore-bearing metasomatic and initial rocks, which is a working out mass of ore. 7 types of the ores are divided and maped on the ore body vertical projection. Aposkarn ores predominate clearly in the I and II types, accordingly laid over endo- (substituting hornfelses) or exo- (apomarble) skarns. In the III type there are ores laid over endo-skarns and near-skarn rocks in equal parts. Relative to it the type IV contain less of of near-skarn rocks, but more of hornfelses. Ores replacing exo-skarns and to a lesser degree (up to 25%) – marbles dominate in the V type. The type VI is an intermediate one between the types III and IV. In the type VII all initial rocks are presented. Every of the types has a stable mineral and chemical composition inherited from the initial rocks. The ores of the specific type have convenient simple distinguishing features for a hand sorting of specimens, samples, and a preliminary ore separation. The types of ores have narrow change limits in size and form of ore mineral grains and their intergrowthes, percentage of minerals harmful for the flotation. Minor differences in contents of the useful components of each ore type offer possibilities of their selective working off and burdening. Mapping results contain data of the distribution of accompany sorts of mineral resources: garnet and wollastonite in the skarns and productive metasomatic rocks, pyroxene-plagioclase near-skarn rocks and hydrothermal alterated rocks with Cu, Au and other mineralization.

Published: August 2019

BACKGROUND:

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act prioritized provision of vocational rehabilitation (VR) services to young adults with disabilities, reinforcing the importance of assisting young persons with disabilities to prepare for and engage in employment.

OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of this investigation was to examine patterns of provision of career and work-based learning interventions to young SSI recipients.

METHODS:

This investigation was accomplished through analysis of case service data of 1,646 individuals who participated in a multiyear program designed to improve educational and employment outcomes. Discrepancies in career and work-based learning interventions were examined based upon age, gender, disability type, parent employment status, parent education level, and youth and parent expectations about work and education.

RESULTS:

No differences in interventions were observed by gender, age at enrollment, or type of disability. Affirmative expectations about going to work or attending college after completing high school were associated with higher mean intervention scores for some types of career and work-based learning interventions.

CONCLUSIONS:

Findings suggest that gender, age, and disability did not contribute to differences in provision of services to young SSI recipients. Additional findings underscore the importance of fostering youth and parent expectations about youth engaging in work after completing high school.

Banking is a very important part in the economy, one of them as intermediary institutions whose duty to collect funds from the public and then channel them back in the form of financing.This study aims to determine the effect Number of DPK, NPF and SBIS partially to finance portfolio of Islamic banking in Indonesia, and to determine the effect Number of DPK, NPF and SBIS simultaneously to the finance portfolio of Islamic banking in Indonesia.This study proceed from the assumption that (1) the size distribution of the funds offered by Islamic banks is very influenced by the size DPK means that the higher the number of third-party funds collected, the higher also finance portfolio, (2) the higher non-performing financing the worse the quality of banking assets, (3) the higher the bonus level set SBIS Indonesian bank will lower the financing undertaken by the banking Shari'ah. But based on data from Islamic banking statistics from the years 2008-2014 there is a gap between theory and facts on the ground. These assumptions are tested empirically so that the truth can be scientifically recognized. When there is a justification or rejection of these assumptions, then this is a scientific truth that can be considered Islamic banking in Indonesia.Quantitative research methods in this study using research formats explanation, source data used in this research is secondary data, then the type of data used in this research is quantitative data time series, the quarterly data of financing, deposits, NPF and SBIS Islamic banking in Indonesia from 2008 to 2014. Data were then processed by means of statistical analysis using Eviews 7, which comprises the classical assumption of them: normality test, heteroscedasticity, multicollinearity test, autocorrelation test. statistical tests include: regression, t test, F test and R2.The conclusion that can be drawn from this study that partially, DPK variable is positive and significant effect on the financing, NPF variable is negative but not significant effect on the financing, while SBIS is negative and significant effect on the financing. Then simultaneously the number of DPK, NPF and SBIS significant effect on the distribution of funding. Those variables could explain freely by 99.45% and the remaining 0.55% can be explained by other variables not examined.

Sulfated exopolysaccharides have been well-known to enhance biological activities. Exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Ophiocordyceps sinensis fungus is a source of natural compounds. The aim of our study is to improve the EPS biological activities by its sulfated modification using the chlorosulfonic acid (CSA)-pyridine (Pyr) method. The appropriate conditions of the sulfation reaction were explored, including CSA/Pyr ratio (v/v) of 1:3 and 6h. The degree of substitution (DS) of S-EPS11 was the highest (DS = 1.59). The total contents of polysaccharides and SO42- of S-EPS11 were 52.25% and 47.15%, respectively. Besides, the FT-IR spectra analysis indicated the presence of CO-S (peak of 815 cm-1) and S=O (peak of 1129 cm-1) stretching vibrations, while the natural EPS did not appear. Importantly, OH• and ABTS• radical scavenging potential of S-EPS11 significantly increased compared with those of the natural EPS. Together, we successfully generated sulfated EPS extracted from O. sinensis fungus which enhanced antioxidant activities of natural EPS.
Effect of Drosophila ubiquitin carboxylterminal hydrolase overexpression on the Drosophila melanogaster eye development

Published: August 2019

Human ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) is a member of deubiquitinating enzyme group and a component of ubiquitin-proteasome system. Being one of the neuron-specific proteins, abnormalities of UCH-L1 was observed in several neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. On the other hand, UCH-L1 was also found to be present in various kinds of cancers with inconsistent acting reported in different studies. Together these records indicated the involvement of UCH-L1 in maintaining normal activities of cells, tissues and organs. However, in vivo significance of the protein remains unclear. In addition, among the attempts made to approach the biological function of UCHL1, there has been no previous report addressing its part in development. In order to explore the function of UCH-L1, we utilized Drosophila melanogaster as model to investigate effects of dUCH (a Drosophila homologue of human UCH-L1) on the development. Particularly in Drosophila eye development, in this study. Our experimental results revealed that specific overexpression of dUCH in eye tissue induced the disruption in ommatidia orientation and defects in differentiation of pigment cells. These results are evidence that support the role of dUCH as a development mediating factor.

Let E be a directed graph, K a field and LK(E) the Leavitt path algebra of E over K. The goal of this paper is to describe the structure of a class of corners of Leavitt path algebras LK(E). The motivation of this work comes from the paper “Corners of Graph Algebras” of Tyrone Crisp in which such corners of graph C*-algebras were investigated completely. Using the same ideas of Tyrone Crisp, we will show that for any finite subset X of vertices in a directed graph E such that the hereditary subset HE(X) generated by X is finite, the corner ( ) ( )( )     K v X v X v L E v is isomorphic to the Leavitt path algebra LK(EX) of some graph EX. We also provide a way how to construct this graph EX.

Ho Chi Minh City plays a role as a leading economic and social center in the South of Vietnam, together with the urbanization, transportation system is being rapidly developing, resulting in an increase in emissions from these activities, and worsen the quality of the city. Therefore in this study, emission inventory for transportation has been conducted using the EMISENS model and then using GIS solfware to distribute the emissions in space in order to have the overall picture of air emissions of this city. The results showed that on-road activites especially from using motorcycles are the major contributer to air emissions in the city. On-road source in general accounting for 88% of NOx, 99% of CO, 79% of SO2, 99% of NMVOC, 88% of PM in total emissions from transportation activities. Key finding in this study is that hahour activities contribute up to 20% of total SOx and 10% of total PM. Other sources of transportation (airport, habour, bus station, rail way) only accounting for negligible amount of emissions Emission maps of transportation showed that central areas (District 1, District 10, District 3 and District 5) reached higer level of emissions than others. In additions, harbours areas as District 2, District 4 and District 7 where Saigon Port and Cat Lat Port are located in suffer the highest emissions of SO2, NOx and Dust.

Among the etiological factors, they can be physical, chemical and surgical and even microbial injuries. Therefore, correction of damaged tissue or wound management plays a significant role in better quality of life to the patient

Material & Methods: The present study was prospective comparative interventional study 100 Patients who had ulcers were enrolled from outdoor and from ward by simple random sampling. Clearance from Institutional Ethics Committee was taken before start of study. Written informed consent was taken from each study participant.

Results: In the present study, among the povidone iodine group, 49 (98%) patients had slough on day 1st, 04 (8%) patients had slough after 1 week, 40 (80%) patients had slough after 2 weeks, 33 (66%) patients had slough after 3 weeks, 19 (38%) patients had slough after 4 weeks, 08 (16%) patients had slough after 5 weeks and 0 (0%) patients had slough after 6 weeks. In the nano silver group, 49 (98%) patients had slough on day 1st, 41 (82%) patients had slough after 1 week, 24 (48%) patients had slough after 2 weeks, 09 (18%) patients had slough after 3 weeks, 03 (06%) patients had slough after 4 weeks, 0 (0%) patients had slough after 5 weeks. We found statistically significant differences on the presence of slough after 2nd week onwards in both groups (p value < 0.05).

Conclusions: We concluded from the present study that the topical application of nano silver gel for ulcer dressing shows faster and better healing in comparison to ulcer healing in povidone iodine group. In nano silver group 100% patients had granulation tissue by the end of 5th weeks and none of patients had slough by the end of 5th weeks.
