title: Evaluation of masticatory function after orthognathic surgery in mandibular prognathism

description: Objective: This study was to compare masticatory function before orthognathic surgery and 3 months after orthognathic surgery in mandibular prognathism patients and to study the relationship between the subjective assessment and the objective assessment of masticatory function. Material and method: The study group was 10 mandibular prognathism patients who had undergone pre-surgical orthodontic treatment. The masticatory function test was done before orthognathic surgery and 3 months after surgery. The control group was 10 skeletal class I patients with healthy dentate. Before the test, the dentition and the numbers of occlusal contact point were recorded in all subjects. The masticatory function test could be done by subjective and objective assessment. The subjective assessment was evaluated by using 7-item questionnaire. The objective assessment was evaluated by mixing ability test and maximum bite force test. To compare masticatory function between study and control group, the independent t-test was used. In comparison between pre- and post- operation in the study group, the paired t-test was used. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between the subjective and objective assessment. Result: The clinical test showed the increasing of questionnaire score, the color of chewed gum, the maximum bite force and the numbers of occlusal contact point. There was no statistical significance (p‹0.05) neither the relationship between subjective and objective assessment in the study nor the control group. Conclusion: The masticatory function efficiency in the study group was close to the control group without statistical significant at 3 months after surgery. The statistical significance was not found in both the relationship between subjective and objective assessment.

description: This study aimed to investigate the characteristics and trend of the elderly patients at Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University. The information of new-registered elderly patients from year 2007 to 2009 was collected from 1,320 dental treatment records by systematic random sampling method. For prosthodontic treatment aspect, 634 dental treatment records were selected from the new-registered elderly patient at post graduated prosthodontic clinic. For the subjects sampling from all new-registered elderly patients, the most common systemic conditions were hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart disease and high cholesterol level, respectively. The most common oral complaint was tooth loss with inefficient chewing and/or needed newly prostheses. There were 38% of subject had perceived prosthodontic treatment need while 65% had normative prosthodontic treatment need. This survey found that the average number of occluding natural pairs of teeth was 2.8 pairs. The highest frequent prosthodontic treatment in elderly patients at post graduated prosthodontic clinic was removable denture (60%). The average waiting period for prosthodontic treatment was 134.1 days and the average prosthodontic treatment period was 155.4 days. There were decreasing in duration of waiting period and treatment period from year 2007 to 2009.

title: The influence of finishing line curvature on marginal gap width of all-ceramic copings

description: Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the curvature of the finishing line on the marginal gaps of all-ceramic copings. Materials and methods An ivorine maxillary central incisor was prepared for three different abutment finishing line curvatures (1mm, 3mm and 5 mm vertical distance between labial or lingual margins and proximal margins), with a total of 36 copings being fabricated for each of these curvatures using Cercon, IPS e.max and Lava™ systems. The marginal gap width was measured using a stereo microscope, with the analysis of the data subsequently being undertaken by means of a two-way ANOVA test followed by a one-way ANOVA test (α = 0.05). Results A significantly higher mean marginal gap was observable for the 5 mm curvature group (Cercon, 76.59 ± 23.01 µm; IPS e.max, 106.44 ± 18.48 µm; Lava, 128.34 ± 20.79 µm) as compared to both the 3 mm curvature group (Cercon, 60.18 ± 9.74 µm; IPS e.max, 81.79 ± 16.20 µm; Lava, 99.19 ± 15.32 µm) and the 1 mm curvature group (Cercon, 38.3 ± 6.85 µm; IPS e.max, 52.22 ± 10.66 µm; Lava, 69.99 ± 6.77 µm). Conclusion The greater the finishing line curvature, the wider the marginal gaps for the three all-ceramic systems.

title: In vivo study of bone formation by stem cell from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) in polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite scaffolds

description: Objective The aim of this study was to examine the ability of SHED seeded in polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite (PCL/HAp) scaffolds to differentiate into osteogenic cell in 6 Wistar Rat. Materials and Methods Stem cell from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) has been documented to possess several stem cell characteristics including a highly proliferative rate and the capability to differentiate into several cell types such as odontoblasts, adipocytes, neural cells, and osteoblasts. The expression of mesenchymal stem cells as well as the ability of osteogenic differentiation of SHED in vitro was examined. SHED cells were seeded on the PCL/HAp scaffold for 30 minutes and transplant into 4 mm. diameter defects in calvarial of Wistar Rat. In control, the scaffolds without cells were transplant into the defect. After 8 weeks, the calvarials were removed, fixed with formaldehyde, decalcified with EDTA and processed for paraffin section. The sections were stained with Masson’s Trichrome. Result The results indicated the increased in osteoid formation and woven bone structures in the scaffold with SHED compared to the control using scaffold alone. Conclusion SHED is a useful source of stem cells. The results suggest the potential to use these cells for bone tissue engineering. However, further studies are necessary to investigate the safety of the protocol in longer period of treatment.

title: Synchrotron Serial Crystallography (SSX) BAG

description: The aim of this BAG is the development of new methods, hardware and software for different applications in SSX. The new EBS machine is in the privileged position of exploiting flux density previously unmatched at synchrotron beamlines. This is likely to open a new paradigm in serial synchrotron crystallography, by enhancing the signal to noise of the diffraction data and reducing the minimum exposure time. The increase in photon flux density at the sample position will interest most of the MX beamlines and it is going to be particularly effective for microfocus beamline such as ID23-2 and ID30A3. We plan to further develop different SSX data collection methods in the attempt to profit of the characteristic of the new beam and to extend the implementation of automated procedures to simplify the access to SSX methods for the MX community.

title: IBS BAG

description: The IBS BAG includes in this proposal IBS teams and external groups from iRTSV/CEA (Grenoble), CEA-Cadarache (St Paul lez Durance) and IRBA (Brétigny-sur-Orge). We study structure-function relationships of proteins emphasizing in human health, biotechnology and methodology. Most of the projects are a continuation of the MX-2329 proposal and can be grouped in different topics as follows: host-pathogen interaction, new drug targets, fundamental cellular mechanisms, membrane proteins, intrinsically disordered proteins, biotechnological applications and methodology. Some of these projects use integrative approaches (X-ray crystallography, SAXS, NMR (and cryo-EM), together with other biophysical studies) with the aim to fully understand the complexity of the biological macromolecular systems on study. Some teams are dedicated to serial crystallography and its developments, for which the ESRF-EBS has become the perfect tool.

title: Elucidating the role of water molecules during the incorporation of organics into the lattice of inorganic crystals

description: The vast majority of biomineralization processes takes place in aqueous media, in the presence of different proteins, organic molecules and hydrated inorganic ions. The outcome, among other characteristics, is the incorporation of the proteins and organic molecules within the inorganic crystal host. We have shown that this incorporation leads to lattice strains in the host crystal. Recently, it is becoming evident that water plays a cardinal role in biomineralization, specifically affects the mode of organic molecules incorporation and gets incorporated together with the organics. We now take another step forward and propose to study the effect of trapped water on the incorporation of organic species, and on the crystalline host’s structure and microstructure. We aim to answer the following questions: What is the effect of the water molecules on the lattice? What is the relative contribution of strain and microstructural changes that is derived from the water molecules?

title: Structure Determination of Simple Metals at Unprecedented Compressions

description: Na exhibits a variety of low-symmetry phases with complex structures above 100 GPa, and is reported to become an optically transparent insulator with fully localized valence electrons in the hP4 phase above 200 GPa. However, results from our recent ramp compression investigations do not agree with previous results, showing an additional diffraction peak. We firstly aim to resolve this discrepancy. One can furthermore determine the degree of electron localization from the intensity of the (002) peak. We will measure this intensity for the first time, providing the first direct evidence for the electride state in Na. Our result will also show whether Na behaves differently under dynamic compression than it does under static conditions.

title: Feasibility study of Public-Private Mix in Health Care in Bangladesh

description: Bangladesh has good physical structure for health care in rural area called Thana Health Complex, the first referral level of health care institution. But unfortunately Thana Health Complex are under utilized especially the inpatient department. Therefore, the study has intended to search possible causes for that and to find measure for improving the under utilization problems. It is clear that the government can not do some thing better alone when the health care system is tax financed and tax collection system is very weak. Therefore, involvement of patients as well as private providers and NGOs are needed to do something better than present. Private/Public mix in health care is the solution. There are many types of p/p mix in health care but for Thana Health Complex contracting out is one of the suitable ways to solve some problems of under utilization. Cataract care is chosen for contracting out as visual disability is the highest cause of disability in Bangladesh and cataract is the number one cause for visual disability. The objectives of the study are to explore contracting out as a remedial measure of P/P mix to improve the problem of under utilization of Thana Health Complex of Bangladesh and assess the additional cost and potential benefit of contracting out models for cataract surgery and to explore possible design of contracting out for Thana Health Complex. To assess additional cost for contracting out the study considers capital cost and recurrent cost and to assess potential benefit it considers equity, efficiency, quality of care as well as patient's satisfaction. Finally, the study has chalked two designs for contracting out for cataract surgery at Thana Health Complex; one is Purchasing model to buy service from private providers and share the finance with patient and the other one the Leasing model to give lease the Operation Theater of Thana Health Complex for cataract surgery to NGO or private provider. Compare and contrast between two models has placed in terms of additional cost and potential benefit. Enforcement of government regulation and consumer education is recommended for proper for proper utilization of Thana Health Complex and changing health seeking behavior of people.

title: A study on possible features of potential health insurance schemes for the urban informal sector in Delhi

description: This study used descriptive and methodological approaches to explore the possibilities of introducing a health insurance scheme for the urban informal sector in Delhi. The data for the study was collected from manual workers engaged in informal sector in Khanpur area of Delhi. The analysis consists of three parts. In the first part, health insurance schemes for informal sector in few countries are reviewed. In the second part, ability to pay (ATP) and willingness to pay (WTP) models are developed to understand the factors that can influence the ATP and WTP of the sample households. In the third part, various possibilities of introducing a health insurance scheme for informal sector in Delhi is examined partly on the basis of the study findings and partly on other available information. The study showed that on an average the sample households spend 5.57 percent of their monthly income on health care. The per capita health expenditure per year is estimated as Rs. 255.06 (US $ 7.08). The wage loss due to illness in the households is found to be substantial. The logit regression analysis of ATP and WTP showed household income, percent of income spent on health care and savings are statistically significant factors influencing household ATP for health care. Whereas, education of head of households, family size, number of earning members, ownership of property and households priority on health care are statistically significant factors influencing WTP. Two alternative health insurance schemes viz; one voluntary and the other employer contributory scheme are designed. The study concludes that the feasibility of introducing an employer contributory scheme in Delhi is limited at the outset. The right path may be a voluntary health insurance scheme covering one region or certain occupational categories. Once the scheme became popular and relevant elements are found feasible, a moderate beginning may be made for employer contributory scheme, while the scope of voluntary insurance may be extended to self-employed.

title: Cost analysis of bone marrow transplantation in hematologic disorders at Chulalongkorn Hospital, Thailand

description: An approach was developed to examine the provider cost of bone marrow transplantation in hematologic disorders from the day of admission to the day of discharge and follow up six months. In this study costing principles have been reviewed and the retrospective determination of direct provider cost for bone marrow transplantation was used to the individual medical record. The costs were calculated per patient related to individual treatment of each patient with due to volume and unit cost. The cost data of 56 patients was examined from the relevant departments in Chulalongkorn Hospital. The direct provider cost per case treated was averaged to be Bt.645,535, cost per patient with intermediate effectiveness was Bt.821,590 and cost per patient with full effectiveness was Bt.1,063,234 in 1997's price. The costs were classified by inputs to be capital cost and recurrent cost There were 8.87% of total cost to be capital costs and the recurrent costs were 91.13%, which can be classified into 2 components : the personnel cost accounted for 19.16% and the material costs were 80.84%. In material costs, the highest category was drug cost, 63.27% and the second came the blood cost which was 10.13%. The important implication of this study was how the hospital would cope with the high cost of catastrophic illness among hematologic disorders. This study provided a basis for Social Security Office to consider the rate appropriate for reimbursement in bone marrow transplantation.

title: Unit cost estimation for outpatient and inpatient departments in Nakloeung District Hospital, Cambodia

description: A lot of people have complained that they have been overcharged by uncontrolled private clinics for their health services. However the Government do not have enough resources to provide free health care for the people. As a result, Cambodian Government is considering the introduction of user fee system in the public hospitals. Nakloeung district hospital was purposely selected as a case study. The objective of the study is to estimate unit cost of services provided by Nakloeung district hospital for both outpatient and inpatient departments in order that cost recovery fees can be set. A step-down method was used to calculate the unit cost for the year 1997 ($1 was equivalent to 2700 riels). Cost per visit in outpatient department varied from 2,188 riels to 2272 riels (from $0.81 to $0.84) and the cost per patient day varied from 11,289 riels to 12,528 riels ($4.18 to $4.64) when the volume of activities increases 20% and the personnel of the district hospital were give incentive. This result could be useful and can help the committee of the district, GTZ, and Ministry of Health to make decision on cost projection, health care pricing policy and the establishment of the fee system.

title: The interaction between economic indicators and health status : a case study in Mongolia

description: This thesis concerned with the interaction between economic indicators and health status at the province level in case of Mongolia. For over six decades, from its independence to the late 1980s, Mongolia followed the Soviet model of centrally planned command economy. After political reforms in early 1990, Mongolia have been moved from a socialist to a market economy. Since this period, Mongolia has faced severe economic difficulties. Compounding these economic hardships, the governments actual expenditures for health, education and social services have been cut back severely over the past 7 years. The system of safety nets has deteriorated. Most of the health indicators declined dramatically during this period. But how do these economic hardships affect on health? What is happening in trends of health status during this transition period? These are questions that we tried to answer in this study. Loglinear specification of multiple regression analysis with one year lagged value of dependent and independent variables are chosen as an analytical tool. The model includes four explanatory variables such as number of livestock head per capita, poverty, education and government health expenditure. Livestock head per capita is used as a proxy of GDP per capita. Time series data between 1991-1996 at the province level have pooled. The total number of observation was 132. Life expectancy, infant, underfive and maternal mortality rates, crude birth and death rates are selected as health status indicators according to the data availability. Also, we developed a model which has included all health indicators as an explanatory variables in order to determine the effect of health status on economic growth. The main empirical result of this study is that the support for the concept that economic growth and education are very important in the determination of health status indicators. However, economic downturns do not necessarily cause in immediate reduction in health status achieved, because human lifestyle due to achievements in education and also other health related inputs such as water supply, sanitation, vaccination and medical equipment have a long-term effect against adverse effects of economic hardships. Therefore, the interaction between health indicators and economic development is not instantaneous and quite complex as well.
