title: Model for behavioral change in high risk toward diabetes type II patients by camping, Mueang district, Roi Et province, Thailand

description: To study the behavior difference between high risk toward diabetes type II patients who attended and who did not attend the ‘Change in Health Behavior’ Camping Program. It was a quasi-experimental research in nature. The sample groups in this research were those with high risk toward diabetes type II patients who had more than 6 score points according to the risk evaluation criteria by Mr. Wichai Ekplakorn and his team. The sample groups were between 40-59 years of age, resided in Mueang district, Roi Et province, for at least 6 months in duration. Voluntary method was used to recruit the sample groups from 2 tampons. The experimental group consisted of 30 samples that were recruited to attend the camping program. On the other hand, another 30 samples of the comparison group received only brochures, thus; a total of 60 samples which was in compliance with the regulations. The questionnaires were tested for their content validity by the experts and for reliability value at 0.859 by the use of Cronbach’s Alphas coefficient. The volunteers replied the questionnaire interview during pre- and post- experiment, together with the measurement of weight, height, waist circumference, and body mass index (BMI), during the month of December 2009, and 15 days after the experiment ended, and postevaluation is conducted. The data was analyzed through the use of descriptive statistics in terms of frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation while the difference of point average was tested through the use of Paired t-test and Unpaired t-test. The results indicated that in the post experiment, the mean of waist circumference, knowledge and health behaviors between the experimental and the comparison groups were different with statistical significance at the level of 0.05. Within the experimental group, the mean of waist circumference, BMI, knowledge, and health behaviors, were different both in the pre- and post- camping with statistical significance at the level of 0.05. On the other hand, the comparison group had the mean of knowledge during the pre- and post- of the receipt of brochures with statistical significance at the level of 0.05. Consequently, the use of camping program on ‘Change in Health Behavior’ by applying the group process and empowerment of related activities while in the camping program are proper for health promotion behaviors as well as for the reduction of risk factors toward diabetes mellitus type II among general population and other high-risk groups. With an application of the program, it can prove to be both beneficial and appropriate to the community in the reduction of risk factors toward diabetes mellitus whose illness is a vital problem to Thailand.

title: Expression of strach branching enzyme genes cloned from cassava Manihot esculenta crantz and immunological monitoring of the enzymes

description: Starch branching enzyme (SBE) also called Q-enzyme (alpha-1,4-glucan : alpha-1,4-glucan-6-glucosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.18 introduces branch points in the amylopectin molecules by hydrolysis of the alpha-1,4-glucan chains. It catalyzes the formation of an alpha-1,6 cross linkage between the reducing end of the cleaved chain and glucose residue. In this study the cDNA of two SBE genes, sbeI and sbeII gene were cloned and expressed. Their respective PCR products were 2.8 and 2.7 kb were cloned into pET 28c for sbeI and pET 28b for sbeII. They were expressed in E. coli rosetta gami (DE). The optimum expression condition was induction with 0.4 mM IPTG for 4 hours for both transformants. Purification by Hitrap His-Tag chromatography resulted in 5 folds purification with specific activities of 8.4 and 7.6 units/mg protein, respectively. Both SBERI and SBERII showed similar characteristics: molecular weight of 90 kDa by SDS-PAGE, optimum pH at 7.0, optimum temperature of 37°C. However, their kinetic characteristics were different, Km and Vmax for amylose were 2.13 and 3.46 mg/ml and 1.7 และ 3.4 ΔA660/min for SBERI and SBERII respectively. SBERI was more active than SBERII towards amylose as substrate whereas SBERII was more active with amylopectin as substrate. Modification of tyrosine, argine and tryptophan altered the activities of both SBERI and SBERII whereas modification of histidine only affected SBERI. Comparison of amino acid compositions and kinetic parameters indicated SBE1 and SBE2 were similar to SBERI and were probably the product of sbeI gene while SBE3 was related to SBERII. Polyclonal antibody of each native isoforms could react with both recombinant enzymes and similar interactions were observed with polyclonal antibodies of recombinant enzyme and native SBE isoforms. Polyclonal antibodies of the recombinant enzyme were used to monitoring enzyme extract of tubers at different ages of 6, 9 and 12 months by western blots. Anti-SBERI stained more intensely with both bands of 108 kDa and 60 kDa. whereas anti-SBERII showed less intensity on both bands. The band intensities also increased with ages.

title: Wiimote interface for cutting and folding 3D digital model in architectural design

description: Architecture is a complex subject which can be seen as a synthetic organism. In order to create architecture, designer needs to visualize the design by using 3D model. Although there are many 3D programs at the present, the input interface is still mouse and keyboard which limit designer to work and sit in front of the screen. In addition, it is not intuitive to manipulate 3D object by 2D input interface. As the input device receives only 2 degrees of freedom, users require additional steps to operate their task. This might be the causes which make 3D model in digital difficult and take a lot of time. Therefore the design is frequently done by sketching in a paper or making a physical model. Then designers transform it into 3D digital model. This research tries to solve this problem by proposing intuitive interface which employs Wiimote to control and modify 3D object. The input device is able to send 6 DOF data so users easily manipulate 3D object only by moving or rotating input device. In conclusion, this report supposes that this interface will provide easier and faster method for designing in the conceptual stage of design by rotating and cutting 3D object.

title: Curing cost of maggot therapy in chronic wounds compared to conventional therapy at Bang Yai Hospital, Nonthaburi province, Thailand

description: This retrospective descriptive study aimed to evaluate effectiveness of maggot therapy in wound curing. Cost analysis of maggot therapy in hospital setting was undertaken. Cost of maggot therapy was also compared to that of conventional therapy. Study populations included all OPD and IPD patients with chronic wounds who underwent either maggot or conventional therapies in January to October 2009 (Total 150 cases, 70 cases with maggot therapy and 80 cases with conventional therapy) at Bang Yai Hospital, Nonthaburi Province, Thailand. Data on patients’ general characteristics and costs of therapies were collected from patients’ records. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. It was revealed that maggot therapy resulted in shorter wound healing time (6.5 days) when compared to that of conventional therapy (14 days). The majority of patients receiving maggot therapy did not have limbed amputated (98.75%) while most of those receiving conventional therapy contrastively had limb amputated (7.14%). The average cost of maggot therapy was lower (6,700 Baht per case) when compared to the conventional ones (16,133.33 Baht per case). It is well illustrated that maggot therapy could potentially reduce wound curing care cost in hospital and effectively resulted in shorter curing period and less likeliness of having limb amputated. Ultimately, maggot therapy should be considered as a rational alternative for wound curing in terms of the economical cost and wound curing effectiveness.

title: Identification and characterization of kazal-type serine proteinase inhibitors, SPIpm4 and SPIpm5, from haemocytes of black tiger shrimp penaeus monodon

description: Serine proteinase inhibitors (SPIs) play important roles in physiological and immunological processes involving proteinases in all multicellular organisms. In black tiger shrimp P. monodon, nine different Kazal-type SPIs, namely SPIPm1-9, were identified from the cDNA libraries. The semi-quantitative RT-PCR of seven Kazal-type SPI genes after V. harveyi 639 challenge showed that the expression of SPIPm1 was significantly increased for 1.92 fold at 6 hpi. Other SPI genes: SPIPm2, 6, 7 and 9 showed hardly any differences in mRNA expression level. RT-PCR study of the SPIPm5 gene revealed that it was up-regulated in response to heat treatment. The SPIPm4 and SPIPm5 consist of open reading frames of 387 and 399 bp coding for polypeptides of 128 and 132 amino acids with putative signal peptides of 21 and 19 amino acid residues and mature SPIs of 107 and 113 amino acid residues, respectively. Recombinant expression in an E. coli expression system yielded recombinant proteins, rSPIPm4 and rSPIPm5, with molecular masses of 12.862 and 13.433 kDa, respectively. The SPIPm4 inhibitor exhibited potent inhibitory activity against subtilisin and SPIPm5 against subtilisin and elastase. The inhibition was a competitive type with inhibition constants (Ki) of 14.95 nM for SPIPm4 against subtilisin, 4.19 and 59.64 nM, respectively, for SPIPm5 against subtilisin and elastase. They had no bacteriostatic effect against B. subtilis, B. megaterium, S. aureus, V. harveyi 639 and E. coli JM109.

title: DNA fingerprinting of soybean rhizobia isolated from nodules of soybeans inoculated with biofertilizer NA7 in Nam Moub subdistrict, Nan province

description: Soybean rhizobia nodulate soybean roots and convert atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia which is utilized by soybeans for growth. The first criterion in the development of soybean rhizobium biofertilizers is selection of soybean rhizobia strains which could compete with indigenous soybean rhizobia in nodulating soybean roots. There is no DNA fingerprints quality control in the production of rhizobium biofertilizers available in the market. Rhizobium biofertilizer NA7 had previously been produced at the lab scale by mixing strain NA7 with peat at the ratio of 2x10 [superscript 8] cells per gram. Soybean seeds cv. CM60 mixed with the biofertilizer were planted in a 15x24 m[superscript 2]experimental plot in 2007/2008 in Nam Moub subdistrict, Nan province. The aim of the thesis is to determine nodulation efficiency of NA7 by isolating bacteria from root nodules of soybean plants after one month cultivation in the experimental plot. DNA fingerprints of the isolates were obtained by RAPD-PCR using either RPO1 or CRL-7 as the primer. Out of the 198 root nodule isolates, 147 were fast-growers and 51 isolates were slow-growers. Since soybean rhizobium strain NA7 was a slow-grower, DNA fingerprints of the 51 slow-growing isolates were obtained. Comparisons of DNA fingerprints showed strain NA7 in the biofertilizer nodulated 13 out of the 51 isolates which made up 6.6% of nodule occupancy. The average number of soybean rhizobia in soil samples from the experimental plot in Nam Moub subdistrict was determined by the Most Probable Number (MPN) to be 4x10[superscript 4] cells per gram soil. Seven soybean rhizobium strains (NA7, NM22-8, NM22-11, NM22-13, NM22-15, NM22-25, and NM22-30) were identified by polyphasic taxonomy. Strain NM22-25 was found to be identical to strain NA7 which was found to be Bradyrhizobium elkanii. Strains NM22-11, NM22-13, and NM22-15 were found to be Bradyrhizobium elkanii while strains NM22-8 and NM22-30 were found to be Bradyrhizobium japonicum.

title: Tissue culture of glycyrrhiza glabra linn. and glycyrrhizin detection

description: Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn.) is a perennial plant native to Southern Europe and parts of Asia, used as a non-nutritional sweetener but with numerous reported pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties. The study was aimed to optimize an in vitro micropropagation protocol of G. glabra plants from in vitro shoot tips, the effect of medium types, medium strength of salt base, sucrose concentration, cytokinin and auxin types were tested for the ability to support the growth of shoot tips in culture. The most suitable medium for G. glabra plant growth and development was 1/2 - strength B5 salt and 30 gL[superscript -1] sugar. However, MS medium supported a superior proliferation rate. MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mgL[superscript -1] of BA produced the maximum of shoots (4.75) per explant. The highest efficiency of root formation occurred in the 1/2-strength B5 medium containing 5.0 mgL[superscript -1] of either IAA or IBA after six weeks of culture. The survival rate of plantlets was 95% when used either garden soil or vermiculite as substrate culture. The glycyrrhizin contents were analyzed by HPLC. The production of glycyrrhizin in culture using 1/2- strength B5 medium supplemented with 5.0 mgL-1IAA increased with time up to week 8 reaching 27.57 ± 0.66 mug g[superscript -1] dry wt as compared with control (13.66 ± 1.21 µg g[superscript -1] dry wt).

title: Dataset related to article "Long-Term Follow-Up of Patients with Metastatic Epidural Spinal Cord Compression from Solid Tumors Submitted for Surgery Followed by Radiation Therapy"

description: This record contains raw data related to article "Long-Term Follow-Up of Patients with Metastatic Epidural Spinal Cord Compression from Solid Tumors Submitted for Surgery Followed by Radiation Therapy" OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcome of patients with epidural spinal cord compression from different solid tumors treated with a combined approach, surgery plus radiotherapy (RT), with a follow-up longer than 10 years. METHODS: Ninety-seven patients treated between 2002 and 2009 were included. Surgical treatment was performed in patients with good performance status, limited metastatic disease, life expectancy longer than 3 months, and progressive neurologic deficit and/or intractable pain. RT was performed delivering a median total dose of 30 Gy in 10 fractions. Clinical outcome was evaluated using the modified visual analog scale for pain, the Frankel scale for neurologic deficit, and magnetic resonance imaging before treatment, after treatment, and every 3 months thereafter. RESULTS: Palliative decompression was performed in 27% of patients, tumor curettage (debulking) was performed in 51%, and total vertebrectomy was performed in 22%, followed by RT in 78% of cases. Pain remission was obtained in 98% of patients, and recovery of neurologic function was obtained in 51%. The median follow-up time was 135 months (range, 96-209 months). The 5- and 10-year local control rates were 82.8% and 82.8%, respectively. The median and 5- and 10-year progression-free survival rates were 12 months, 16.9%, and 11.3%, respectively; the median and 5- and 10-year overall survival rates were 18 months, 21.3%, and 12%, respectively. On univariate and multivariate analysis, factors recorded as conditioning survival were the performance status and the presence of other metastases at the time of vertebral treatment (P &lt; 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Our update confirmed that surgery plus RT is a safe and feasible treatment with limited morbidity. In selected patients with favorable prognostic factors, the combined treatment may significantly impact on survival.
