Abstract

Caffeic acid, a naturally occurring organic compound, possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, along with its derivatives. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effect of caffeic acid and its derivatives on oxidative stress and inflammatory response in cutaneous wound healing. This review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, and Ovid MEDLINE. Articles published between 2000 and June 2022, with seven articles meeting the inclusion criteria were retrieved. The articles constituted in-vivo studies that utilised caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) as the therapeutic agent in three types of cutaneous wound including full-thickness burn injury (n=4), two incisional wounds, and one pressure ulcer. CAPE scavenged reactive oxidative species and reduced lipid peroxidation, superoxide dismutase, nitrotyrosine, malondialdehyde, catalase, xanthine oxidase, and nitric oxide levels. The treated injured area revealed enhanced granulation tissue formation, vascularisation, and collagenisation as well as long-term effects of CAPE as evidenced by reduced myofibroblast amount, CD68-positive macrophages, and increased collagen deposition. The systematic review emphasised how antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of CAPE could improve the process of wound healing, suggesting its substantial potential for clinical applications in this domain.

Abstract

Hand-transmitted vibrations (HTV) are a common occurrence in everyday human life. The vibration exposure differs by individuals and presents a major health risk especially in industries that require manual operation of rotating power tools. Humans can develop symptoms known as hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) if this exposure is excessive and unmonitored. This review paper aims to summarize the recent advancements in the field of wearable sensor systems specifically for hand transmitted vibration applications. Available systems are compared, and limitations are highlighted. Aspects of the enabling technologies that allow for the increased significance of wearable systems such as the sensor technology and wireless communication technology are discussed. This paper also proposes a conceptual model of a smart wearable system for hand-transmitted vibration measurements. It is predicted that the wearable sensor technology will transcend measurement and monitoring purposes and will be an important component in hand vibration control applications via cloud-computing and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.

Abstract

The limited budget allocation and storage chemicals space are the main reasons food SMEs manufacturers took cleaning and sanitation for granted. A portable electrolyzed water cleaning rig which can generate sanitation solution and at the same time generated high-speed water will ease the cleaning and sanitation process for SMEs. In this study, the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ method) is applied in the development of a portable electrolyzed water cleaning rig. A new conceptual design for the rig, which is robust and affordable is proposed. The rig could improve cleaning efficiency significantly in SME food industry in Malaysia, which is a major cause of a low number of SME with GMP certification. However, the final conceptual design has to undergo several modifications for assembly and manufacturing purposes, which will be performed in further study. The idea of generation for the portable electrolyzed water cleaning rig design was illustrated based on the TRIZ contradiction matrix. This portable rig will be able to generate both strongly acidic electrolyzed water (AcEW) and strongly alkaline electrolyzed water (AlEW) solution continuously. Both cleaning solutions are green cleaning solutions which can replace the commercial cleaning sanitation solutions. The development of the conceptual design of the portable water cleaning rig will help food SMEs tremendously.

Abstract

Over the past few years, the issue of pollution from the grave is often taken into account and always become a study material and research. The most commonly used method for disposal of dead bodies and limbs is incineration. Incineration has been used for decades. Previously, biological specimen at the Hospital University of Sains Malaysia (HUSM) was disposed of through incinerators. Given that the majority of HUSM patients are Muslim societies, a method to dispose biological waste in an Islamic-compliant through burial method is proposed. In addition, incineration of dead bodies will have a bad impact on the environment and human health through the emission of toxic gases. New way has been introduced to overcome this problem by burial of formalin fixed specimen onto the soil. However, formalin preservation on specimen is a main concern. This study was done to determine the effect of the formaldehyde on the growth of the Jasminum sambac plant and the physical characteristic of the plant. The height of plant, surface area of leaf, number of leaves and flowers, colour of leaves and chlorophyll content of leaf were observed before and after the plants was treated with formaldehyde. The results obtained from this research will give valuable information on the effect of formaldehyde on the environment specifically on the plant. This study also determines whether the formalin fixed specimen by burial method give negative or positive effect to the environment. The physical characteristics of the plant after treated with formaldehyde shows a negative growth with decrease in number of leaves and flowers as well as in the surface area of leaf. Other than that, the colors of leaves changed from dark green to brownish color for the plants that treated with formaldehyde. In conclusion, formaldehyde application affected the plant and cause the physical characteristic of the plants does not grow well even with the lower concentration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: The spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria poses a substantial threat to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Due to its large public health and societal implications, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis has been long regarded by WHO as a global priority for investment in new drugs. In 2016, WHO was requested by member states to create a priority list of other antibiotic-resistant bacteria to support research and development of effective drugs. Methods: We used a multicriteria decision analysis method to prioritise antibiotic-resistant bacteria; this method involved the identification of relevant criteria to assess priority against which each antibiotic-resistant bacterium was rated. The final priority ranking of the antibiotic-resistant bacteria was established after a preference-based survey was used to obtain expert weighting of criteria. Findings: We selected 20 bacterial species with 25 patterns of acquired resistance and ten criteria to assess priority: mortality, health-care burden, community burden, prevalence of resistance, 10-year trend of resistance, transmissibility, preventability in the community setting, preventability in the health-care setting, treatability, and pipeline. We stratified the priority list into three tiers (critical, high, and medium priority), using the 33rd percentile of the bacterium's total scores as the cutoff. Critical-priority bacteria included carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and carbapenem-resistant and third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. The highest ranked Gram-positive bacteria (high priority) were vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Of the bacteria typically responsible for community-acquired infections, clarithromycin-resistant Helicobacter pylori, and fluoroquinolone-resistant Campylobacter spp, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Salmonella typhi were included in the high-priority tier.

Abstract

Vibration transmitted to the hand from motorcycle handlebar can cause discomfort and health issues to the motorcycle rider. The objective of this paper was to investigate the severity of vibration transmitted to the hand from motorcycle handlebar. The engine capacity of the motorcycle was 100cc. Vibration was recorded at the motorcycle handlebar at two engine speeds representing the speed of 10km/h and 20km/h. The total magnitudes of vibrations (weighted Wh) transmitted to the hand from motorcycle handlebar were between 2 and 6.42m/s2. Increasing the speed of the motorcycle engine decreased the vibration magnitude transmitted to the hand. The level of vibration exposure can be greater than the Daily Action Limit Value set by the European Directive 2002/44/EC if the motorcycle is used for more than 4.15 hours per day at the speed of 10km/h.

Abstract

Backpack machines such as grasscutter and blower produce a vibration that is transmitted to the operator’s body and hand. Prolonged exposure to vibration can cause injuries known as Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome. One of the machines used widely in the agriculture sector is the blower. The objective of this study was to evaluate the level of vibration exposure emitted by blowers according to the method in the International Standard ISO 5349. Vibrations emitted by two backpack machines, mist blower and leaf blower, were acquired on ten subjects who were working and using the tools daily. Vibrations were recorded at operational and idle modes using an accelerometer installed in an aluminium palm adapter that was placed between the hand and the surface of the handle. The study has found that the median weighted Wh vibration magnitudes emitted by blowers to the hand were between 1.71 and 2.91 m/s² r.m.s. acceleration for operational and idle modes, respectively. The mist blower has an idle mode weighted Wh vibration magnitude greater than its operational mode, whilst the leaf blower has an operational mode weighted Wh vibration magnitude greater than in its idle mode. This study suggests that vibrations emitted to the hand from a leaf blower and a mist blower can be greater than the exposure action value set by the European Directive 2002 if used for more than 7 hours (mist blower) or 5 hours (leaf blower) per day. Companies that use both machines should set appropriate actions and regulations to reduce the exposure, especially to workers using the machines daily. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Introduction: HPV infection has been associated with a subset of head and neck cancers and current evidence suggest that it may be an important risk factor for oral cancer. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing, we recently demonstrated the presence of HPV in more than 50 of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients and that high-risk HPV is significantly associated with OSCC. Serological detection of HPV has been reported the most convenient method for detecting HPV. However, currently there is a lack of serological assays for the detection of the HPV. The HPV E6 viral oncoprotein is known to play crucial role in tumorigenesis, therefore detecting the presence of the E6 protein could be a useful biomarker for HPV detection.Methods: A pGEX plasmid containing HPV 16 E6 gene was ligated with KT3 oligonucleotide. Constructed plasmid was then transformed into Escherichia coli for production of the recombinant protein which was used as antigen in ELISA assay. ELISA was optimized using anti KT3 antibody to detect the recombinant antigen. HPV ELISA was performed on sera from 18 healthy and 15 OSCC patients obtained from the Malaysian Oral Cancer Database & Tissue Bank System (MOCDTBS) which is coordinated by Oral Cancer Research & Coordinating Centre (OCRCC). Sera that have net OD above calculated cutoff value were determined as HPV seropositive. Fisher's Exact test was used for statistical evaluation.Results: An ELISA method to detect the presence of HPV16 E6 protein was successfully developed. Using this method, 33.3 (5/15) of OSCC and 16.7 (3/18) of healthy patients were found to be HPV 16 seropositive. No significant association was found between HPV 16 seropositivity and OSCC occurrence (P value = 0.428).Discussion: Although there is a trend to support our previous findings using PCR where a larger proportion of OSCC patients were HPV positive in comparison to healthy individuals, our results using ELISA method did not show any statistical significance. This remains to be tested in a larger sample set to confirm pur preliminary result that could more representative of our patient population. This record was migrated from the OpenDepot repository service in June, 2017 before shutting down.

Abstract

Objectives: This study was done to investigate the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) within genes of phase I (CYP1A1) and phase II (GSTM1, GSTT1,GSTP1) of the xenobiotic metabolism and its association with oral cancer risk.Methods: An unmatched case-control study was conducted using 207 newly diagnosed oral cancer patients and 117 non-cancer subjects selected from the OCRCC database. Peripheral blood was obtained from consented individuals and the CYP1A1, GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 genotypes were determined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction enzyme digestion (RFLP). Simple and multiple logistic regression yielding odds ratio (OR and aOR) were employed to measure the association between genetic polymorphisms and risk of oral cancer. Results: In comparing cases and controls for CYP1A1, GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphism, the OR was 0.84 (95 CI 0.534 - 1.330), 0.99 (95 CI 0.627 - 1.554) and 0.87 (95 CI 0.541 - 1.388) respectively. However, the adjusted OR for GSTP1 polymorphism, as compared to the wild-type, was 0.43 (95 CI 0.221 - 0.837). It was noted that polymorphism of GSTP1 conferred a 57 reduction in risk of oral cancer as compared to individuals with the GSTP1 wild type genotype. Meanwhile individuals with combination of betel quid chewing habit and/or GSTP1 polymorphism has 1.6 times the risk of oral cancer although it was not statistically significant (95 CI 0.974 - 2.635). Conclusions: Analysis suggested that polymorphism of GSTP1 seems to have protective effect on the risk of oral cancer. This record was migrated from the OpenDepot repository service in June, 2017 before shutting down.

Abstract

Colo-colic intussusception is a rare manifestation of a primary tumour in an adult patient. This article aims to document the rarity of colo-colic intussusception features on the 18 FDG- PET-CT in a patient with primary colonic carcinoma. An 18 FDG-PET-CT was performed for the purpose of pretreatment staging of a colonic carcinoma in a 61-year-old man following a diagnostic colosnoscopic biopsy. He presented with abdominal distension and peri-rectal bleeding for a month. The fused 18 F-FDG PET-CT image revealed an FDG-avid mass in the left hemicolon showing a rim of FDG avidity denoting the head of intussusceptum. There are also multiple FDG-avid nodules seen along the anti-mesenteric colonic fat suspicious for lymph nodes metastasis. Debulking of tumour revealed a mucinous adenocarcinoma of colon with a metastatic lymph node. 18 FDG PET-CT features of intussusception in colonic carcinoma have never been described before. It can potentially become a preferred diagnostic tool in delineating a potential tumour mass within the intussusceptions that help improve prognosis in patients with malignancy [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

44. Pattern of Calcification on CT and FDG-PET of a Rare Perineural Mantle Cell Lymphoma: A Potential of Non-Histological Imaging Marker.

Abstract

The presence of calcification in a particular FDG-avid soft tissue lesion may at times present uncertainty regarding the clinical course of the disease pathology. Calcific deposits are not specific for either benign or malignant aetiologies (Brant et al., 2010). Altered glucose metabolism with associated calcification may underpin underlying aggressive pathophysiology with necrosis as sequelae. Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is a rare B-cell NHL that is prevalent in men over the age of 60. The disease may be aggressive but it can also behave in a more indolent fashion in some patients. MCL comprises about 5% of all NHLs. The disease is called Mantle Cell Lymphoma because the tumour cells originally come from the 'mantle zone' of the lymph node (Zhou et al., 2004). Pretreatment Hodgkin's lymphoma with calcification may masquerade as other second primary pathologies, e.g. extraosseous osteosarcoma or myositis ossificans (Apter et al., 2002; Korek-Amorosa et al., 1974). A calcified perineural lymphoma prior to treatment is exceedingly rare and calcification usually occurs one to five years after chemotherapy or radiation therapy with an incidence of 2% (Apter et al., 2002). This case documents how the manifestation of a rare malignant perineural mantle cell lymphoma may be indistinguishable from other pathological entities based on its pattern of distribution in a combined FDG- PET-CT study.

Abstract

Biodrying is a pre-treatment method that applies biological and mechanical concepts to drying solid waste. In Malaysia, municipal solid waste (MSW) is unseparated and contains a high level of moisture, making the use of technology such as solid waste burning unsuitable and harmful. MSW containing organic material can be processed naturally until the moisture content of the waste is reduced. This study on MSW biodrying was carried out on a laboratory scale to measure the percent moisture content reduction and to monitor temperature patterns under different ventilation periods. This work was conducted using five biodrying reactors volumes of 50 liters each. Reactors were ventilated for 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 min every 3 h, with a 3 bar air supply. The duration of this process was 14 days for all samples. The results showed that the optimum ventilation time was 10 min, with an 81.84% reduction in moisture content, and that it required almost half of the electricity cost required for the 20 and 30 min ventilations.

Abstract

Colour is an environmental stimulus that exerts an influence on human beings in a multitude of ways. The effect of colours has been abundantly and unequivocally demonstrated in previous research on the integration of multimodal approaches such as the psychological, performance and non-performance and preferences assessments. Nevertheless, little research has been conducted locally on the integration of physiological assessment and consideration of subjects' living ecology. This is particularly true in the field of design. The objective of this paper is to propose an optimal colour for the hostel environment of female university students based on their heart-rate response. Four determined colours, namely strong red, bluish-green, pink and white, were painted in their rooms and divided according to exposures. In the experiment, a test and re-test method of assignment was conducted. The results show that subjects in the strong-red environment were stimulated after a short exposure, while subjects in the bluish-green environment were stimulated after long and sustained periods of exposure. In summary, the significance of a coloured environment is discussed with suggestions for a short, longer and sustainable period of exposure from a physiological perspective, aim of which being engagement.
