Abstract            :  Backgound: HLA-matched hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the curative treatment for chronic granulomatous disease (CGD).

Objective: To report a case of X-linked CGD with active infection successfully treated by haploidentical HSCT with post-transplant high dose cyclophosphamide (PTCY).

Methods: A 5-year-old Thai boy with CGD was undergone for haploidentical HSCT using PTCY with correction of the phagocytic function. He presented with Chromobacterium violaceum liver abscess at the age of 9 months and experienced recurrent perianal abscess and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis even receiving antimicrobial prophylaxis. PTCY was given on day 3 and 4, after CD34+ cells infusion.

Results: The peripheral blood-nucleated cell chimerism showed 100% on day 16 and remained 100%. Dihydrorhodamine (DHR) assay on day 108 and day 214 showed normal results. Currently at 22 months post HSCT, he does not receive antibiotic and anti-fungal prophylaxis.

Conclusions: Haploidentical HSCT with PTCY could be an effective treatment option for children with CGD.

Title           : Synthesis of carboxymethyl cellulose from rice husk

Researcher       : Jarmkom, K.Khobjai, W.Teachaoei, S.Shuwisitkul, D.

Department     :

Abstract            :  Objective: The purpose of this research was to produce carboxymethyl cellulose from rice husk (CMCRH) and used it as a raw material in food or health products.
Methods: Cellulose was extracted from husk rice and converted to CMC (CMCRH) using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and monochloroacetic acid in isopropanol (C3H8O).
Results: CMCRH was characterized for chemical composition and morphology by scanning electron microscopy. Microscopy analysis showed that chemical composition changes with increasing sodium content (Na-). Likewise, morphology has changed. Physicochemical and viscosity tests showed that were similar properties compare with commercial CMC.
Conclusion: CMC is derived cellulose that is used in products for various applications. RH is an agricultural waste that is carried out to synthesize CMC (CMCRH). Finally, CMCRH has the potential to be used in raw materials in food or health products which biodegradable material.

The analgesic efficacy of anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block in combination with femoral triangle block in total knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial(2021)

Title           : The analgesic efficacy of anterior femoral cutaneous nerve block in combination with femoral triangle block in total knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial

Researcher       : Kampitak, W.Tanavalee, A.Tansatit, T., …Songborassamee, N.Vichainarong, C.

Abstract            : Background: Ultrasound-guided femoral triangle block (FTB) can provide motor-sparing anterior knee analgesia. However, it may not completely anesthetize the anterior femoral cutaneous nerve (AFCN). We hypothesized that an AFCN block (AFCNB) in combination with an FTB would decrease pain during movement in the immediate 12 h postoperative period compared with an FTB alone.

Methods: Eighty patients scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty were randomized to receive either FTB alone (FTB group) or AFCNB with FTB (AFCNB + FTB group) as part of the multimodal analgesic regimen. The primary outcome was pain during movement at 12 h postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included numeric rating scale (NRS) pain scores, incidence of surgical incision site pain, intravenous morphine consumption, immediate functional performance, patient satisfaction, and length of hospital stay.

Results: The NRS pain scores on movement 12 h postoperatively were significantly lower in the AFCNB + FTB group than in the FTB group (mean difference: –2.02, 95% CI: –3.14, –0.89, P < 0.001). The incidence of pain at the surgical incision site at 24 h postoperatively and morphine consumption within 48 h postoperatively were significantly lower (P < 0.001), and quadriceps muscle strength at 0° immediately after surgery was significantly greater in the AFCNB + FTB group (P = 0.04).

Conclusions: The addition of ultrasound-guided AFCNB to FTB provided more effective analgesia and decreased opioid requirement compared to FTB alone after total knee arthroplasty and may enhance immediate functional performance on the day of surgery.

The crest injection technique for glabellar line correction and the paracentral artery (2021)

Title           : The crest injection technique for glabellar line correction and the paracentral artery

Researcher       : Tansatit, T.Uruwan, S.Rungsawang, C.

Abstract            : The glabella is a zone that carries a high risk of blindness after performing filler injections. The arteries beneath the glabellar lines were investigated by meticulous dissections in 30 geriatric embalmed cadavers with latex injections into the arterial system. The results showed that the supratrochlear artery, a direct branch of the ophthalmic artery, ascended from the muscular layer of the medial eyebrow along the medial canthal vertical line of the intercanthal vertical zone (53 in 60 hemifaces, or 88%). The dominant single paracentral artery from the radix artery was found within the radix vertical zone (eight out of 30 glabellae, or 27%). Among these, the dominant paracentral artery was near the midline in two cadavers and arose along the radix vertical line in six cadavers. The dominant paracentral artery may be the cause of ocular complications during injections of glabellar lines between the medial eyebrows, especially at the radix vertical lines. The supratrochlear artery might cause ocular complications when an injection is performed close to the medial eyebrows. Pinching to create a skin crest and evert glabellar line for a precise injection is recommended to temporarily occlude the paracentral artery.

The effectiveness of the modified mueller–hillis maneuver in predicting successful vaginal delivery in late active phase of first stage of labor (2019)

Title           : The effectiveness of the modified mueller–hillis maneuver in predicting successful vaginal delivery in late active phase of first stage of labor

Researcher       : Kovavisarach, E., Jongfuangprinya, K.

Abstract            : Background: Cephalopelvic disproportion is one of the most common indications for cesarean section. Abnormal labor patterns have been used to identify this condition for many years, but early diagnosis is sometimes quite difficult.
Objective: To determine the accuracy of the modified Mueller-Hillis maneuver in predicting successful vaginal delivery in the late active phase of the first stage of labor.
Materials and Methods:
From July 1st 2009 to August 31st 2010, a diagnostic test was performed of pregnant women admitted to the Labor Room in Rajavithi Hospital who met the following inclusion criteria: singleton pregnancy; labor pain, vertex presentation, and gestational age between 37 and 42 weeks. The exclusion criteria were medical or obstetric complications, or induction of labor with uterotonic agent. The modified Mueller-Hillis maneuver was performed by a single operator applying fundal pressure and assessing the descent of the fetal head in the late active phase of the first stage of labor (cervical dilatation >8 cm). Descent of the fetal head of 1 cm or more was interpreted as a positive result, and successful vaginal delivery was defined as spontaneous vaginal delivery without instrumentation.
Results:
Two hundred and twenty-six women were enrolled, 214 of whom had positive results, with 212 successful vaginal deliveries, one case of delivery by forceps extraction, and another of cesarean delivery. Of the 12 cases with negative results, 4 had successful vaginal delivery while the others were delivered by cesarean section. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values of the positive test were 98.2%, 88.9%, 97.8%, 99.5%, and 66.7%, respectively.
Conclusion:
The modified Mueller-Hillis technique performed in the late active phase of the first stage of labor yielded excellent results in terms of diagnostic parameters such as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and positive predictive values, but the negative predictive values were only fair.
