Monitoring of Effectiveness and Safety of Colistin for Therapy in Resistant Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections in Hospitalized Patients at Siriraj Hospital.
CONCLUSION: Colistin remains the principal antibiotic in carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. Colistin's effectiveness and safety is still rated as moderate for therapy in difficult-to-treat resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections.

Moringa Oleifera Leaf Increases Insulin Secretion after Single Dose Administration: A Preliminary Study in Healthy Subjects.
CONCLUSION: We concluded that high-dose (4 g) MO leaf powder capsules significantly increased insulin secretion in healthy subjects. These results suggest that MO leaf may be a potential agent in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Further studies of MO in patients with T2DM are needed.

Low Sleeping Time, High TV Viewing Time, and Physical Inactivity in School Are Risk Factors for Obesity in Pre-Adolescent Thai Children.
CONCLUSION: The study showed that physical activity during break time in school, sleep duration, and hours of TV viewing were associated with obesity in pre-adolescent Thai children. It is important to note that activity score was not associated with obesity. One of the most important benefits to be physically active in childhood is the potential to maintain this behavior into adulthood. Therefore, programs that encourage healthy behaviors and address these modifiable risk factors should be incorporated in the school curriculum.

Risk Factors for Severe Enteroviral Infections in Children.
CONCLUSION: The major pathogens of severe disease were EV71 and CA16. High-risk factors significantly related to severe enterovirus infection in both univariate and multivariate analyses were absence of oral lesions, seizures, and drowsiness/lethargy. Early recognition of children at risk and prompt treatment is important to mitigate the deterioration of patients with enterovirus infection.

Correlation between Serum SCCA and CYFRA 2 1-1, Tissue Ki-67, and Clinicopathological Factors in Patients with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
CONCLUSION: The authors showed that Ki-67 in tumor tissue is probably a more reliable marker than serum SCCA and CYFRA 21-1 in predicting the clinical course of ESCC. PMID: 27276745 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand = Chotmaihet thangphaet)

Occupational Risk Factors of Lymphohematopoietic Cancer in Rayong Province, Thailand.
CONCLUSION: Occupational exposure to pesticides and smoke were important occupational risks in developing LHC in Rayong province. However, the ability or power to detect this problem due to the small sample size and recall bias from the study design could not be excluded.

Extracted Anaxagorea luzonensis A. Gray Restored Impairment of Endothelium-Dependent Vasorelaxation Induced by Homocysteine Thiolactone in Rat Aortic Rings.
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that HTL-induced impairment of endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation may occur via decreased NO release, and generation of oxygen free radical. This study first shows that enhancement of TxA₂ production via COX-1 pathway is involved in HTL-induced endothelial dysfunctions. The protective effects of AL on impairment of relaxation by HTL may be related to increasing NO production and sulfhydryl-dependent.

Treatment of Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation.
Authors: Makruasi N Abstract Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a syndrome characterized by systemic activation of blood coagulation, generation of thrombin, and leading to disturbance of the microvasculature. In this article, definition and diagnostic criteria of DIC depend on the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH). There is no gold standard for diagnosis of DIC, only low quality evidence is used in general practice. Many diagnostic tests and repeated measurement are required. For the treatment of DIC, there is no good quality evidence. The most important treatment for...
