Enhancing remineralization of primary enamel lesions with fluoride dentifrice containing tricalcium phosphate.
ENHANCING REMINERALIZATION OF PRIMARY ENAMEL LESIONS WITH FLUORIDE DENTIFRICE CONTAINING TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE.
Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health. 2017 Mar;48(2):494-500
Authors: Rirattanapong P, Vongsavan K, Saengsirinavin C, Waidee S
Abstract
Fluoride dentifrice is effective in preventive dental caries but may cause
fluorosis, especially in young children. Reducing the concentration of fluoride from
the regular concentration of 1,000 parts per million (ppm) to 500 ppm can reduce
the risk for fluorosis but increases the risk of caries. Adding tricalcium phosphate
(TCP) to t...

Red blood cell duffy antigen receptor for chemokines and susceptibility to plasmodium vivax infection in thais.
RED BLOOD CELL DUFFY ANTIGEN RECEPTOR FOR CHEMOKINES AND SUSCEPTIBILITY TO PLASMODIUM VIVAX INFECTION IN THAIS.
Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health. 2016 Sep;47(5):885-9
Authors: Pimpat Y, Leelawat K, Lek-Uthai U
Abstract
Plasmodium vivax is the most prevalent malaria infection in Thailand.
P. vivax uses Duffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokines (DARC) or Duffy antigen
(Fy) as a receptor for entry into reticulocytes. Polymorphism of DARC exon 2 gene
(FYA/FYB) in 40 P. vivax-infected subjects were investigated using nested PCR of
blood samples spotted on filter paper collected dur...

Evaluation of a commercial stool concentrator kit compared to direct smear and formalin-ethyl acetate concentration methods for diagnosis of parasitic infection with special reference to opisthorchis viverrini sensu lato in thailand.
In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of a commercial
stool concentrator kit with that of a direct simple smear method and a modified
FECT. In diagnosing parasite infection and opisthorchiasis, the commercial kit
had greater sensitivity (43.8-58.5%) than direct smear method (12.5-31.7%), but
was less sensitive than FECT (73.2-75%). In a separate sample population, similar
results were obtained when comparing the diagnostic accuracy of the commercial
kit and FECT. However, the commercial kit was more effective in a field setting
than FECT, and had better accuracy than direct smear method, which suggests
that t...

Henoch-sch Önlein purpura nephritis following influenza vaccination: a case report and review of the literature
We reported a 16-year-old boy who developed Henoch-Schönlein
purpura (HSP) 15 days after receiving a seasonal influenza vaccine. His symptoms
improved temporally with treatment but he developed HSP nephritis
(HSPN) that relapsed multiple times over the following three years. This case
of Henoch-Schönlein purpura may have been due to the seasonal influenza
vaccine. The mechanism for this association is unclear. Practitioners should
be aware of this possible complication.

Sxt element, class 1 integron and multidrug-resistance genes of vibrio cholerae
isolated from clinical and environmental sources in northeast thailand.
This study indicates that SXT element was the main contributor to the circulation
of multiple-drug resistance determinants in V. cholerae strains in Northeast
Thailand and that genetic exchange of SXT element can occur in both V. cholerae
O1 and non-O1/non-O139 strains from clinical and environmental sources.
