Preferences based interventions to address the use of antibiotics without prescription: a discrete choice experiment
Authors: Aponte-González Johanna , Brown Paul , Eslava-Schmalbach Javier 
Published: September 2021

Background: In many countries, concerns have arisen over the population using antibiotics without consulting a physician. This practice can place patients at risk and increase antibiotic resistance in the community.
Objective: To evaluate individuals' preferences regarding the use of antibiotics. The study also assessed the likely effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing inappropriate use of antibiotics.
Methods: A discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted in Bogotá, Colombia. The attributes were determined by a systematic literature review and four focus group sessions. The DCE included nine factors – cost, time to get attention, level of symptoms, efficacy, safety, among others- and one label -using or not antibiotics. Data analysis was carried out using a generalized multinomial logit (GMNL) model. Marginal probabilities of different sets of attributes' levels were compared to estimate the likely effectiveness of interventions.
Results: The survey was administered to 222 participants from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. The results suggest that participants preferred not taking antibiotics and having a physician as an advisor, but the probability of inappropriate antibiotic use increased as the waiting time or the cost of receiving advice rose. The pharmacy was the preferred source of antibiotics, and participants chose the pharmacy worker (nonprofessional) as an advisor over the nurse on the phone. In the absence of any interventions aimed at reducing the use of antibiotics, approximately 47.3% of people would misuse antibiotics. This reduces to 26.5% when people perceive the efficacy of the antibiotics as low and the potential risks of self-medicating as high. An alternative model using a nursing service would likely lower inappropriate use of antibiotics.
Conclusions: Even though people prefer not using antibiotics or visiting a physician in case of disease rather than self-medicating, current access conditions might discourage them from appropriately use antibiotics. The results suggest that interventions that informing people about the risks of self-medication and the low efficacy might significantly reduce inappropriate use of antibiotics. Our results also suggest that programs that empower other health professionals to provide access to antibiotics would likely further lower inappropriate use.

BACKGROUND: Colon cancer is still a crucial concern in the development of chemotherapeutic drugs due to the drug resistance phenomenon and various side effects to patients. One of the newest compound that show anticancer activities against several cancer cells, Chemoprevention Curcumin Analog 1 (CCA-1.1), has increasingly been explored to overcome the limitation of conventional drugs.METHODS: We evaluated the anti-migratory effect of CCA-1.1 and Pentagamavunone-1 (PGV-1) by using WiDr colon cancer cells. The expression profiles of Tumor Protein 53 (TP53) and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) in colon cancer were obtained from the UALCAN database. Survival outcomes of TP53 and MMP9 in colon cancer patients were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. We used 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT), scratch wound healing, and gelatin zymography assays to observe the cytotoxic effect, anti-migratory activity, and MMP9 expression, respectively, in CCA-1.1 or PGV-1-treated cells.RESULTS: Level of MMP9 was found significantly overexpressed in the primary tumor and metastasis nodal, while TP53 mutation sample types were observed and influenced the survival outcome in colon cancer patients. CCA-1.1 and PGV-1 exhibited strong cytotoxic activity after 24 and 48 h treatment against WiDr cells. The migration assay demonstrated that PGV-1 and CCA-1.1 at 1 mM inhibited cell migration up to 40% after 48 h in single and combination with doxorubicin. The MMP9 expression was significantly inhibited by 0.5 mM CCA-1.1.CONCLUSION: This study emphasizes that the anti-migratory effect of CCA-1.1 is better than PGV-1 via MMP9 suppression on WiDr. Thus, CCA-1.1 is prominent to be developed as an anti-metastatic agent.KEYWORDS: chemopreventive curcumin analog 1.1 (CCA-1.1), PGV-1, WiDr cells, anti-migration, MMP9

Background: Bambara groundnut [Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.], an indigenous drought tolerant crop of African origin is one of most important leguminous crop in Sub-Saharan Africa. Small-scale farmers continue cultivating unimproved landraces over the production areas in Kenya. Bambara exist variously as mixtures of seeds, which contain variable types of seed morphology which need to be agronomically and phenotypically differentiated. The study aimed at characterizing Bambara groundnuts collected in Kenya using morphological markers. Methods: One hundred and five germplasm assembled from four major growing agro-ecologies (Busia, Kakamega, Bungom and Vihiga Counties) and Kenya National Gene bank, were evaluated at the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) - Alupe (0.4347° N, 34.2422° E) in a randomized complete block design with three replications in the long and short rains of 2015. Nineteen quantitative traits and seven qualitative traits were observed and measured at different growth stages and during harvesting. Result: Many landraces displayed pointed, round and yellowish pod, with grooved and oval seeds. About 49.4% had round leaves, 21.5% had elliptical leaves, while 55.7% were heterogeneous for leaf shape. Quantitative traits were significant (p≤0.05) except for seed weight, seed number per plant and number of stems. The first four principal components accounted for a total of 73.1% of the variations. germplasm were divided into two distinct clusters. Leaf morphology variations could be used as a reliable phenotypic marker in Bambara breeding.

Background: The African ostrich is the largest herbivorous bird in the world, which has high economic value. However, the brooding period of African ostrich is long. During this period, the various organs of the body are not fully developed, the resistance is low and it is easy to get sick, thus affecting the growth and development. Therefore, it is of great significance to enhance the digestion and absorption capacity of ostrich chicks and improve its growth speed in shortening the incubation period of ostrich, improving the survival rate of ostrich and the economic benefits of ostrich breeding. Methods: Sixteen 40-day-old African ostrich chicks (male or female) were randomly divided into four groups and injected intravenously of Metatarsal vein with saline (control) or ghrelin (10, 50 and 100 µg/kg) for 6 days. The morphology, gastrin and pepsin levels in the duodenum were measured using stereology, HE staining and radioimmunoassay. Result: The 10, 50 and 100 µg/kg of ghrelin administered groups showed lower duodenal length and length index than the control group (P less than 0.05). Villus length increased in the 50 µg/kg and 100 µg/kg ghrelin administered groups (P less than 0.05). Crypt depth decreased in the 10 µg/kg ghrelin administered group (P less than 0.05). The ratio of villus length to crypt depth in each group increased and the difference was significant in the 50 µg/kg and 100 µg/kg ghrelin administered groups (P less than 0.05). Pepsin content in the duodenum slightly increased in the 10 µg/kg ghrelin administered group (P greater than 0.05) and it significantly decreased in the 50 µg/kg and 100 µg/kg ghrelin administered groups (P less than 0.05). Gastrin content in the duodenum increased significantly (P less than 0.05) in the 10 µg/kg ghrelin administered group and decreased in the 100 µg/kg ghrelin administered group (P less than 0.05).

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious health problem in children, with increasing morbidity and mortality rates throughout the world. Children with CKD tend to experience magnesium (Mg) deﬁ ciency that can stimulate an inﬂ ammatory response in the body. One of the inﬂ ammatory responses is an increase of Interleukin-6 (IL-6). Study to analyze the correlation between Mg and IL-6 in pre-dialysis CKD children. The methods a cross sectional study was conducted in Dr Soetomo General Academic Hospital from November 2018 to April 2019. Children with pre-dialyis CKD were included in this study. Variables of serum Mg level (mg/dL) and inﬂ ammatory marker (IL-6) were measured from the blood and analyzed by ELISA method. The correlation between Mg and IL-6 was analyzed with Spearman’s correlation test with p <0.05. Result a total of 47 children (27 boys vs 20 girls) between 3 months to 18 years old, with pre-dialysis CKD and no history of magnesium supplementation were included. The primary disease that causes of CKD were lupus nephritis (38.3%), nephrotic syndrome (23.4%), urologic disorder (23.4%), tubulopathy (10.6%) and others (4.3%). The average IL-6 level was 55.42±43.04 pg/dL and Mg level was 2.06±1.54 mg/dL. There were no signiﬁ cant correlation between IL-6 level and Mg level with staging of CKD and duration of illness (p>0.05), but there was a signiﬁ cant correlation between serum Mg level and IL-6 level (r=-0.748; p<0.001). Magnesium levels have a signiﬁ cant inverse correlation with IL-6 levels in pre-dialysis CKD children. The lower the Mg levels in the blood, the higher IL-6 levels and vice versa.
