title: Dataset related to article "The efficacy of Stereotactic body radiation therapy and the impact of systemic treatments in oligometastatic patients from prostate cancer"

description: This record contains raw data related to article "The efficacy of Stereotactic body radiation therapy and the impact of systemic treatments in oligometastatic patients from prostate cancer" BACKGROUND: Diagnoses of oligometastatic prostate cancer (PC) increased in the recent years thanks to the advancement in imaging and more effective systemic therapies. Here we evaluate the efficacy of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in oligorecurrent and oligoprogressive PC. METHODS: We included patients with a maximum of five metastases diagnosed in a maximum of two target organs. Concomitant treatment with hormonal therapies or chemotherapies was allowed. End points of the present study were the outcome in terms of Local control of treated metastases (LC), out-field progression free survival, overall progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival. RESULTS: We included in the analysis 64 patients treated on 90 metastases. Fifty (78.1%) patients were treated on lymph nodes, 2 (3.1%) patients simultaneously on lymph node and bone while 10 (15.7%) patients on bone only. Lung metastases were treated in 2 (3.1%) patients. Thirty-seven (57.81%) were without androgen deprivation therapy when treated with SBRT. Median follow-up was 15.2 months. Rates of LC at 6-, 12-, and 18- months were 94%, 88%, and 84%, respectively. Oligoprogressive patients compared to oligorecurrent (HR 9.10, P = 0.049) and prolongation of time from diagnosis of metastases to SBRT (HR 1.03, P = 0.047) were associated with worse LC. Median PFS was 6.6 months (range 1.1-42.4). Castration resistant patients experienced worse PFS compared to castration sensitive group (HR 2.12, P = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS: Stereotactic body radiation therapy seems to be an effective treatment for metastases from PC. Prospective trials are necessary to better define selection of patients and to evaluate combination of SBRT and new systemic drugs in castration resistant patients.

title: Optimal control application to block-ice production process using dynamic programming

description: To present an application of optimal controller design to a block-ice production process using dynamic programming. First, we develop mathematical models for such a process by employing system identification techniques. In particular, we build two parametric models, namely, linear model and neural network model. Linear models are built with Auto-Regressive model with exogenous inputs (linear ARX model). Feedforward neural networks (NNARX model) are constructed using the information provided by the linear ARX models. In addition, the Optimal Brain Surgeon (OBS) method is employed to prune the neural network models. Comparing the experimental results obtained from these models, it indicates that linear ARX models yield reasonably good performance in terms of the model fit. Then, using the obtained models, we investigate the energy consumption and operation cost of an ice factory when using time of use (TOU) tariff and time of day (TOD) tariff. Specifically, we develop an optimal control design for block-ice production process. The optimal strategy aims to minimize the electricity cost over a finite-time horizon and is subjected to constraints involving the control input of compressors, the brine temperature, and the number of block-ices ready for sales. Moreover, various factors in the design criteria have been analyzed with respect to the energy consumption and the operation cost. We compare the performance of the optimal controllers and the conventional control strategy. The simulation reveals that the proposed optimal control design has better performance than that of the conventional control. Furthermore, the optimal control using TOU tariff can reduce the operation cost when comparing to the one using TOD tariff.

title: Knowledge, attitude and practice of combined oral contraceptives (COCS) among Myanmar migrant married women of reproductive age at Ranong province in Thailand

description: This study is cross sectional study and was collected in Muang District in Ranong Province in February, 2010. 300 Myanmr migrant married women of reproductive age were asked by using structured questionnaire. This study resulted that the practice of combined oral contraceptives usage was 50.4% among Myanmar migrant married women of reproductive age in Muang District, Ranong Province. Majority 50.2% of the respondents were distributed in the age group of 20 to 29 years. In terms of accessibility, 45.4% of the respondent got COCs from drug stores. 98.9% of women could afford combined oral contraceptives and 88.9% of them also satisfied the service they got. In terms of knowledge and attitude towards COCs, 53.2% of them had low level of knowledge while 6.4% had high level of knowledge of COCs. 68.6% of the respondents in this study had moderate attitude towards COCs. Among the independent variables, age group and education level, places, transportation and convenience to get COCs were related with the knowledge of COCs. The respondents’ educational level, registration status and availability of COCs except distance away from the sources were associated with attitude towards COCs. Age group, occupation, number of living children, duration of stay in Thailand and distance away from the sources of COCs had relationship with practice of COCs among Myanmar migrant women. Knowledge of COCs was not related with the practice of COCs although attitude towards COCs had relationship with the practice of COCs significantly.

title: Financial viability analysis of Dr. Soejono Selong Hospital in Indonesia, 2008

description: To analyze the financial viability of the Dr.Soejono Selong Hospital in Indonesia in the fiscal year of 2008. This study is retrospective using cost data from providers’ perspective with step down method analysis. It could be found that the total cost of the Dr. Soejono Selong Hospital was 20,852,759,000 rupiah. The proportion of labor cost, material cost and capital cost was 45.93%, 26.35%, and 27.72% respectively. The unit cost of Inpatient Department was 295,960 rupiah compared to the unit cost of Outpatient Department which was 109,105 rupiah. The total revenue was 26.902.360.57 rupiah, while 67% of the total revenue had been contributed from government budget support, and 5.1% of the total revenue was from the Civil Servant Insurance Scheme. Moreover, 11.7% of the total revenue was from the Health Assurance Scheme, and 16.3% of the total revenue was from out of pocket. The revenue from health assurance and out of pocket (initial revenue), about 65%, had to be turned over to the local government, and only 35% of the revenue left to be managed by hospital and used to finance fringe benefit and medical device. Under this condition total cost recovery was 0.96 which means that the revenue could not cover the total cost. However, with the initial revenue, total hospital cost recovery was 1.29, and non-budget cost recovery was only 0.43. Out of pocket was the payment mechanism scheme provided maximum cost recovery for IPD (1.69) and the minimum was health assurance (0.34), while for OPD, the scheme provided maximum cost recovery was also out of pocket, and the minimum belonged to civil servant insurance (0.70). The unit cost was relatively high due to the problem of not optimum of the utilization rate of hospital services, and the inefficiency in resource allocation and wastage in hospital. The recommendations to hospital administrator are to work on improving quality of services and containing the cost particularly for labor and material cost.

title: Risk assessment of chlorpyrifos (organophosphate pesticide) associated with dermal exposure in chilli-growing farmers at Ubonrachatani province, Thailand

description: Risk assessment of chlorpyrifos (organophosphate pesticide) associated with dermal exposure in chilli-growing farmers was studied during growing season from December 2009 to January 2010 at Hua-rau sub-district, Muang district, Ubonratchathani province, Thailand. Chlorpyrifos residue on chilli-growing farmers’ hands after spraying were collected using hand-wiping technique from 35 farmers (26 men and 9 women) by using simple random sampling technique from all chilli- growing farmers in this area. The results showed that an age range of the participants was 40-50 years old. The average weight (mean±SD) was 56.3±11.1 Kg. Hand surface areas of male and female were 0.088 sq.m. and 0.075 sq.m., respectively. The mean concentration (±SD) of chlorpyrifos analyzed by using gas chromatograph with a selective detector, flame photometric detector (FPD) was 6.95±18.24 mg/kg/two hands (0.01-98.59 mg/kg/two hands). To evaluate health risk of the chilli-growing farmers in this community, an average daily dose (ADD) was calculated using reasonable maximum exposure (RME) at 95th percentile of chlorpyrifos concentration in order to health awareness and prevention. The ADD of farmers was 2.51 x 10[superscript -9] mg/kg/day and the ADD of male farmers (2.57 x 10[superscript -9] mg/kg/day) was higher than female farmers (2.41 x 10-9 mg/kg/day). Using hazard quotient (HQ) for risk characterization, it indicated that the HQ of farmers was lower than the acceptable level 1.0 (HQ = 1.67 x 10[superscript -6]). Both of the HQ for male and female farmers were lower than the acceptable level, 1.71 x 10[superscript -6] and 1.61 x 10[superscript -6], respectively. In conclusion, the chilli-growing farmers were not at risk with non-carcinogenic effects from dermal exposure. This study suggests that other exposure routes e.g. inhalation and oral should be considered and evaluated because the farmers had mentioned on acute and repeated or prolonged effects of organophosphates after their application.

title: Effects of dosage, excess weight and gender on pharmacokinetics of sodium valproate sustained release dosage form in patients with neuro-psychiatric disorders

description: To determine the effects of dosage, excess weight and gender on pharmacokinetics of sodium valproate in patients with neuro-psychiatric disorders age ranged from 18 to 60 years old. The study design was open label, multiple dose, paralleled prospective study. The study could be divided into three parts as follow: First, the impact of different dosages (500 mg/day versus 1000 mg/day) of sustained release formulation on valproate clearance and plasma concentration were studied in psychiatric patients; analysis based on routine therapeutic drug monitoring data. The results have shown both consistent and contrast to previous studies reported. Mean of total concentration increased disproportionately with the increase in dosage, while free concentration increased proportionately. Moreover, higher clearance of total VPA while no difference in clearance of free VPA were found in patients receiving VPA 1000 mg/day as compared to patients receiving 500 mg/day of VPA. Free VPA concentration was proposed to be a more suitable parameter for future therapeutic level monitoring and the targeted level was proposed to be 4-12 mg/l. Second, the effects of gender and excess weight on VPA pharmacokinetics were demonstrated. Female with excess weight showed significantly lower in both clearances of total and free VPA, the effect of excess weight on VPA pharmacokinetics was less obvious in male. Third, predictive equations for total and free VPA concentrations and clearances from general demographic characteristics of patients, such as, dosage, gender, age, body weight, etc. have been generated. These predictive factors account for approximately 60% of the variances.

title: Clients' satisfaction towards health care services at Outpatient Department, Pinlon Hospital, Yangon, Myanmar

description: This cross sectional study was conducted with the aim of identifying the Clients’ satisfaction of Out Patient Health care service at Pinlon hospital, Yangon, Myanmar and related significant factors. The population were patient or pregnant women for AN-care or caretaker for children &lt; 15 yr who exit all the specialities of the Pinlon outpatient department (OPD). A self-administered questionnaire with a sample size of 320 subjects was used. The result showed the two age groups of 21-30 and 31-40 made the largest group (53.2%). Females’ respondents were more (57.2%) than males. Most respondents in this study were married and few still single. The educational level with the highest percentage was a graduate level with 58.1%. Self-employed (own business) and dependent (non-working) groups were the two most common occupations of the respondents and the biggest family income group was 300,000-500,000 kyats per month at 45.9%. Most of the respondents, had visited the Pinlon Hospital’s OPD more than one time 71.5%. The study revealed that 79.7% of OPD respondents were ‘high satisfied’ with the services. The clients (about 70%) ‘Strongly agree’ and ‘agree’ that the clinic is easy accessible for distance. Mainly less favourable statements were about “getting appointment for consultation” (54.7% disagree or not sure on goodness of those services). 67.2% were high perception for goodness of facilities and structure, 52.0% of respondents were high perception for the goodness of doctors and medical staff and 63.4% of respondents were high perception for goodness of other staff. The factors significantly related to the satisfaction were family income, number of OPD visits, perception about quality of OPD health care services and accessibility to the health care services (P&lt;0.05). Based on the finding this study, to increase the overall average satisfaction of clients, we need to consider what the client’s needs are and then provide appropriate services to address those needs and using the new technology as well as providing pleasant, polite and friendly services will contribute to increased clients’ satisfaction.

title: The compination of body mass index and age as a new index for identifying osteoporosis in Thai postmenopausal women

description: Objective: To evaluate the application of the combination of body mass index (BMI) and age as a new screening tool to identify osteoporosis in Thai postmenopausal women. Design : Diagnostic descriptive study. Material and method : Bone mineral density (BMD) data of Thai postmenopausal women, age 40- 80 years old who attended the outpatient clinic, Thammasat University Hospital, Thailand, between January 2004 and December 2008 were enrolled. The participants with history of metabolic bone disease or use of drugs associated with secondary osteoporosis and/or history of treatment for osteoporosis were excluded. Each had BMD records of lumbar spines, femoral neck and intertrochanter. The data were completely collected in all 372 women. A diagnosis of osteoporosis made according to WHO criteria. Results : The prevalence of osteoporosis at lumbar spines, femoral neck and intertrochanter were 8.1%, 20.2% and 15.3% respectively. The combination of BMI and age as the index to detect osteoporosis had a sensitivity at 76.67%, 76% and 77.19%, respectively. The OSTA index at the standard cut-off point of -1 had sensitivity at 80%, 70.67% and 70.17%, respectively. Raising the cut-off point to &lt; 0 would had a sensitivity at 90%, 85.33% and 78.95%, respectively. Conclusion : The application of the combination of BMI and age as a screening tool is another option to identify osteoporosis in Thai postmenopausal women. Change the cut-off point of &lt; 0, OSTA index could improve the detection of osteoporosis at a very high level of the sensitivity.

title: Determination of 17 α-methyltestosterone in sediment samples form a nile tilapia nursery pond

description: It is a common practice in the aquaculture of Nile tilapia to use 17α-methyltestosterone (MT) impregnated in fish feed to obtain an all male population. However, only little is known about the occurrence and fate of MT in the environment. Therefore, one objective of this study was to qualitatively and quantitatively determine MT in sediment samples obtained from a Nile tilapia earthen nursery pond as MT has been shown to preferably sorb onto sediment. In addition as the second objective of this study, a method for the extraction and purification of MT from sediment samples had to be developed, as there is no comprehensive protocol reported in literature. The developed method was based on liquid-phase extraction in combination with sonication. Optimized parameter of the extraction procedure included extraction solvent, extraction time, and sonication time. A recovery rate of 97.01% ± 3.36% RSD (n= 5) could be achieved and additional residues of MT in sediment could be extracted with sonication. Moreover, sediment samples were taken during hormone treatment period to monitor concentration of MT during its application. The obtained results indicated that MT could be found in all sediment samples; although, the concentrations of MT measured were in the low µg/kg-range. This is the first study reporting the occurrence of MT in samples taken from the environment.

title: Detection of serum matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-7 for differentiating cholangiocarcinoma from benign biliary tract disease patients : evalution of diagnostic accuracy

description: Cholangiocarcinoma is an aggressive tumor with a tendency for local invasion and distant metastases. However, at present, there is no available tumor marker that can differentiate cholangiocarcinoma from benign bile duct disease. This study was designed to determine whether the serum levels of MMP7 can discriminate cholangiocarcinoma patients from benign biliary tract disease patients in comparison to carbohydrate antigen 19- 9 (CA19-9). This study was divided into 2 parts. Part 1 (a retrospective nonconsecutive case-control study), we measured the level of CA19-9 and MMP7 in the serum derived from the serum bank (44 cholangiocarcinoma and 36 benign biliary tract diseases patients). Part 2 (prospective consecutive cases from patients with symptoms of biliary tract disease), a total of 187 obstructive jaundice patients was consecutively enrolled and their values of serum MMP7 was assayed and compared with serum CA19-9. For part 1 study, a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that the detection of the serum MMP7 level is reasonably accurate in differentiating cholangiocarcinoma from benign biliary tract disease patients (area under curve=0.73; 95% CI = 0.614-0.848). While the areas under the curve of the ROC curves for CA19-9 were 0.63 (95% CI = 0.491-0.761). For part 2 study, we found that MMP7 and CA19-9 serum levels were significantly elevated in cholangiocarcinoma patients (p&lt;0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) from a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis for the diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma, using MMP7 was more accurate than CA19-9 (AUC =0.84; CI 95% 0.778-0.903 for MMP7 and AUC = 0.79; CI 95% 0.708-0.868 for CA19-9). The sensitivity and specificity of serum MMP7 (cut-off value of 5.5 ng/ml) was 75% and 78%, respectively, while the sensitivity and specificity of serum CA19-9 (cut-off value of 100 U/ml) was 68% and 87%, respectively. We concluded that serum values of MMP7 and CA19-9 appear to be useful biomarkers for differentiating cholangiocarcinoma from benign biliary tract diseases.
