Şekli fasülye tanesine benzeyen ren’den süzülen idrar, tübüler üreter yoluyla bir kese biçiminde olan vesica urinaria’ya aktarılır..Burada biriken idrar belli bir hacme ulaştıktan sonra kanal yapısında olan urethra ile dışarı atılır. Evcil memeli hayvanlar arasında, systema urinaria’yı oluşturan organların morfolojik farklılıkları ayırt edilir. Genel itibariyle fasülye tanesine benzeyen ren’in sığırda loplu görünümlü, equide de sağ böbreğin kupa kağıdına benzediği ve kedilerde de böbreğin oluklu olduğu görülür.

Kemikler (ossa) hareket sisteminin yani lokomotor sistemin pasif unsurlarını oluşturur. Vücudun hareket sistemini oluşturan kemiklerin, belirli bir düzen içinde hareketli ve hareketsiz olarak birbirleriyle bağlanarak kemiksel bir çatı oluşturur. Bu çatıya iskelet (sceleton)  denir. İskelet ya da bu kemiksel çatı memeli hayvanların kendine has dış görünümünü oluşturur. Kemikler sert ve dayanıklı yapılar olup kasların bağlanmasına zemin hazırlar. Bunlara yapışan kasların kontraksiyonu ile hareket edebilir. İskeleti şekillendiren kemikler histolojik olarak kemik dokudan oluşmuştur. Kemik dokusu ise organik ve anorganik maddelerden yapılmıştır. Organik maddeler bir kemiğin ortalama 1/3 ini, geri kalan 2/3’sini inorganik maddeler kapsar. Kemikler şekillerine göre uzun, kısa ve yassı kemik olmak üzere üç gruba ayrılır. Bunlardan başka ayrı bir grup olarak değerlendirilen düzensiz kemikler, susam kemikleri, organ kemikleri ve havalı kemikler de vardır.
İskelet, kafa, omurga ve göğüs kafesini kapsayan skeleton axiale ve ekstremite kemiklerinden oluşan skeleton appendiculare diye iki ana bölüme ayrılır. İskelet kemikleri birbirleriyle oynar, yarı oynar veya oynamaz şekilde üç farklı çeşitte eklemleşir ve çeşitli yönlerde hareket edebilirler.

Background: This study's objective of was investigate the effectiveness of myotherapy on tongue mobility and tongue function after surgical correction in ankyloglossia. Method: This study was carried out in 15 subjects assigned to the control group (n=5). The other 10 individuals with ankyloglossia were randomly received frenectomy alone (F; n=5) and frenectomy performed with tongue myofunctional therapy (FM; n=5). Tongue myofunctional therapy was performed 1 day after surgery, and 3 times a day for 3 months. Age, gender, height, weight, IBM, Kotlow's free tongue movement, maximal interincisal mouth opening (MIO), interincisal mouth opening with tongue tip to maxillary incisive papillae (MOTTIP), tongue range of motion ratio (TRMR), tongue range of motion deficit (TRMD), tongue mobility, maximum tongue elevation pressure, and maximum bite force were evaluated. Results: Frenectomy demonstrated improvement of tongue mobility and function. FM group showed significant improvement of tongue parameters faster than the F group in TRMR, TRMD, tongue mobility, and MBF. Moreover, MTEP of the FM group significantly increased at the 1st-week follow-up (p<0.05) and higher than the control group at the 3rdmonth follow-up. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that lingual frenectomy performed with tongue myofunctional therapy could accelerate and maintaining the treatment results concerning free tongue movement, TRMR, TRMD, tongue mobility, maximum tongue elevation pressure, and maximum bite force
Effect of filling volume and head space on the release of silicone oil from glass prefilled syringe with formulations containing polysorbate

Prefilled syringe usually uses silicone oil as lubricant to coat and lubricate the inner surface of barrels and rubber stoppers. The release of coated silicone oil was found to affect the product quality and patient safety. Surfactants are added in many formulations to prevent protein aggregation and adhesion to surfaces of primary packaging. However, surfactants are also found to induce the release of silicone oil from glass prefilled syringe. This study aimed to examine the effect of filled volume and head space on the release of silicone oil from prefilled syringe containers containing polysorbate solution. Samples are prepared at different filling volume, level head space and agitated by orbital shaker at predefined speed and time. Amount of silicone oil released from containers was detected by Micro-flow Imaging (MFI™) technology. Results showed that the higher head space to filled volume ratio, more release of silicone oil was released from prefilled syringe was observed. In addition, when head space was held constant, the lower filling volume released more silicone oil than higher filling volume due to air bubble were allowed to move freely along the interior of the barrel of prefilled syringe. In conclusion, to minimize the risk of silicone oil leaching, setting appropriate parameters of the filling line and transferring machines must be monitored and controlled to the proper filling volume and head space of the product.

In this study, six triterpenoids were isolated from the stem of Diospyros gracilis H.R.Fletcher (Ebenaceae), including two friedelane-type triterpenoids namely friedelin and epifriedelanol, and four lupane-type triterpenoids namely lupeol, betulin, betulinic acid and betulinaldehyde. Their chemical structures were identified by spectroscopic analysis (IR, NMR and MS) and comparison with those reported in the literature. In the investigation for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against cancer cells, lupeol, betulin and betulinic acid exhibited cytotoxic effects against glioblastoma (U87) and breast cancer (MDA-MB231) cells (IC50 = 13.16, 15.39, 8.31 µM and 34.41, 74.49, 43.88 µM, respectively). In addition, lupeol and betulinic acid were found to cause suppression of the production of interleukin 2 by Jurkat T cells, stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies, at a non-cytotoxic concentration, indicating their possible inhibitory activity on T cell activation mediated by CD3/CD28.

Published: June 2024

Objectives: To determine the association of knowledge and attitude toward oral healthcare behavior of overseas university students staying in Thailand between January 2020 and July 2022 and explore the experiences of their oral health problems. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted using an online survey in English operated through the Google platform by convenience sampling among overseas Chulalongkorn University students. The sample size was calculated by the Yamane formula with a minimum sample size of 297 after adding 10% compensation. Descriptive statistics, Chisquare test, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlations were employed using IBM SPSS version 29. Results: Of 311 overseas students, 55.6% were male. The average age of students was 27.5±4.5 years. 68.81% of students were from ASEAN countries, and 73.31% studied in non-health science programs. The study fields, health and non-health sciences, were associated with knowledge (p<0.001) and attitude (p=0.004). Type of health insurance had an association with behavior (p=0.014) and the student’s perspective on dental visits (p=0.014). There is a positive correlation between knowledge and behavior (p<0.001, r=0.198) and between attitude and behavior (p<0.001, r=0.212). Three hundred fifty-nine cases of oral health problems were experienced by 47.3% of overseas students consisting of tooth hypersensitivity (21.2%), gingivitis (15.3%), caries (14%), cracked or broken tooth (10%), severe toothache (9%) and others. There was an association between oral healthcare behavior and oral health problems (p<0.001), and a negative correlation was found between behavior score and the number of oral health problems (p<0.001, r=-0.204). Conclusion: The oral healthcare behaviors of overseas students correlated positively with knowledge and attitude. A negative correlation was observed between behavior and the number of oral health problems. Furthermore, studying in health science programs impacts students' knowledge and attitude toward oral health, while the dental treatment coverage of health insurance affects decisions for dental visits.
