Effect Of Smoking Behaviour and The BMI On Ph Levels Of Saliva and Salivary Amylase Activity Among Male Students
Authors: Yurnaliza  
Published: March 2024

Smoking behaviour has a negative impact on health, especially oral health. One of the motivations for consuming tobacco cigarettes is stress condition. Many believe that smoking could reduce their stress. We are using purposive random sampling targeting male students who smoke at the faculty of social and political science. We find 40 individual smoking students as respondents. We measure the pH levels of saliva using universal indicators and then salivary amylase activity from the decrease of substrate (amylum) concentration. Here we find that smoking students have significantly more low salivary pH levels and also salivary amylase activity than control (non-smoking students). This could be an early diagnosis of the oral health issue. However, stress conditions could be indicated by relatively high salivary amylase activity. Our result predicted that smoking perhaps reduces the stress of the students because smoking lowers the salivary amylase rate. Moreover, stress conditions do not influence the saliva flow rate. We also use questionnaires to collect body weight and height to measure the BMI (Body mass index). The BMI data also shows most of the smoking student has a normal category of BMI. Nevertheless, there are no significant differences in Salivary pH levels and amylase activity among the BMI category. A previous study also reported that BMI has no correlation with saliva flow rate. We suggest the university should give education about the negative effect of smoking

Published: March 2024

Introducción: en Ecuador se declaró el estado de emergencia zoosanitaria en el territorio tras detectarse el virus de influenza aviar altamente patógeno. Por lo que no se podrá movilizar aves, productos y subproductos de origen aviar como huevos, gallinas, pollos, entre otros, de las granjas afectadas por el brote Objetivos: la presente investigación surge de la necesidad de evaluar los impactos financieros de los brotes de influenza aviar altamente patógena (IAAP) en empresas del sector avícola dedicadas a la producción de huevos, gallinas de engorde y producción de balanceados de 3 provincias de la zona central (Cotopaxi, Tungurahua y Bolívar) en el período comprendido entre septiembre de 2022 y febrero de 2023. Metodología: Se utilizo el enfoque cualitativo, histórico lógico, documental, jurídico y bibliográfico, cuya finalidad es precisar, definir y adscribir un determinado objeto de estudio para alcanzar un conocimiento general, lo cual permite llegar a una conclusión sobre el tema. Discusión: Aproximadamente 500.000 nuevas aves habían sido contagiadas de influenza o gripe aviar, informó este lunes el Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería (MAG) y la Agencia de Regulación y Control Fito y Zoosanitario (Agrocalidad). Estas aves, que se suman a las primeras 350.000 enfermas que se detectaron en el primer caso detectado a finales noviembre del 2022 y a 17.000 más en dos casos posteriores- corresponden a dos nuevos brotes en las provincias de Cotopaxi y Bolívar. Conclusiones: las consecuencias económicas de los brotes de IAAP para los avicultores son considerables porque el sacrificio sanitario, en general, condujo a mayores pérdidas en ausencia de compensación, especialmente cuando el sacrificio sanitario ocurría cerca del final de la ronda de producción.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: A very simple, cheap, easily available and non-invasive approach has made routine semen analysis the most important tool for diagnosis of male fertility.
Objective: To determine I) the percentage of abnormality in semen parameters present in the husbands of infertile couples, II) the effect of occupation on abnormal parameters and iii) the effect of increasing age on semen quality.
Methods: A cross sectional retrospective study was designed in a period of April 2019 to March 2020 on the basic semen analysis reports of the husbands of infertile couples reporting to the fertility clinic of a tertiary level military hospital of Bangladesh.
Results: Out of 851 couples only 372 were excluded from female cause. At least 44% husbands showed at least one abnormality in their semen parameters according to WHO 2010 criteria and out of them 3.8% were azospermic. Almost all abnormalities showed more severity in the patients reporting from non-military background. Significant differences were demonstrated in the mean values in semen parameters like volume, concentration and motility between different occupational groups. Mean values of sperm concentration between different age groups showed significant changes. Values of other parameters also showed gradual decrease with increase of age but differences were not significant.
Conclusions: The present study showed that even 56% normozoospermic husbands can be partners of infertile couples. Occupation and age affect male fertility.

Objective: Artifacts caused by orthodontic appliances on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can affect the image quality and make diagnosis difficult. The debate is ongoing on whether orthodontic appliances should be removed to eliminate these problems. This study aimed to evaluate the awareness and knowledge level of dentists working in maxillofacial radiology and orthodontics about this subject through a questionnaire.
Methods: The questionnaire consisted of 20 items and four parts: A) Personal information, B) Awareness level about the artifacts and complications caused by orthodontic appliances on MRI, C) Knowledge level about the factors related to artifacts and complications caused by orthodontic appliances on MRI, and D) Preventive approaches. The questionnaire was prepared on Google Forms and sent to potential participants via e-mail. The Chi-square (χ2) test was used for the statistical analysis of the variables.
Results: Most participants were aware of the artifacts caused by orthodontic appliances on MRI (90.8%) (93.5% of maxillofacial radiologists and 88.5% of orthodontists) and thought that material type influenced the artifact formation (98.1%) (100% of maxillofacial radiologists and 96.3% of orthodontists). The percentage of participants with 1-5 years of experience who were aware of artifacts was less than those with more experience (p = .033). The percentage of orthodontists who referred patients for orthodontic appliance removal was higher than maxillofacial radiologists who requested the orthodontic appliance removal (93.5%>15%).
Conclusion: Simultaneously increasing demands for both orthodontic treatment and MRI in the society cause concerns about the MRI image quality due to artifacts on images of the head and neck region. The main output of this study is that dentists working in orthodontics and maxillofacial radiology have a high awareness and knowledge about the artifacts and complications caused by orthodontic appliances on MRI.

Background: Dynamin-related protein Drp1 —a major mitochondrial fission protein— is widely distributed in the central nervous system and plays a crucial role in regulating mitochondrial dynamics, specifically mitochondrial fission and the organelle's shaping. Upregulated Drp1 function may contribute to the pathological progression of neurodegenerative diseases by dysregulating mitochondrial fission/ fusion. The study aims to investigate the effects of Drp1 on retinoic acid-BDNF-induced (RA-BDNF) neuronal differentiation and mitochondrial network reorganization in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells.Methods: We generated an SH-SY5Y cell line with stably depleted Drp1 (shDrp1). We applied RNA sequencing and analysis to study changes in gene expression upon stable Drp1 knockdown. We visualized the mitochondria by transmission electron microscopy and used high-content confocal imaging to characterize and analyze cell morphology changes and mitochondrial network reorganization during neuronal differentiation.Results: shDrp1 cells exhibited fused mitochondrial ultrastructure with perinuclear clustering. Stable knockdown of Drp1 resulted in the upregulation of genes involved in nervous system development. High content analysis showed improved neurite outgrowth, segmentation, and extremities in differentiated shDrp1 cells. Neuronal differentiation was associated with a significant reduction in ERK1/2 phosphorylation, and ERK1/2 phosphorylation was independent of the dual specificity phosphatases DUSP1/6 in shDrp1 cells. Differentiated control underwent mitochondrial morphology remodeling, whereas differentiated shDrp1 cells retained the highly fused mitochondria and developed long, elongated structures. The shDrp1 cells responded to specific apoptotic stimuli like control in vitro, suggesting that Drp1 is not a prerequisite for apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells. Moreover, Drp1 downregulation reduced the formation of toxic mHtt aggregates in vitro.Discussion: Our results indicate that Drp1 silencing enhances RA-BDNF-induced neuronal differentiation by promoting transcriptional and mitochondrial network changes in undifferentiated cells. We also demonstrate that the suppression of Drp1 reduces toxic mHtt aggregate formation in vitro, suggesting protection against neurotoxicity. Thus, Drp1 may be an attractive target for further investigation in future strategies to combat neurodegenerative diseases.
