Abstract            : Background: The efficacy and safety of Andrographis paniculata (Burn.f.) Wall. ex Nees in the treatment of acute nonspecific upper respiratory tract infection (NS-URI) are still less clear due to the diversity of herbal preparations, dosages, and few large clinical trials. The authors aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of the crude extract from A. paniculata in acute NS-URI.

Materials and Methods: Patients aged 18 to 60 years old from government hospitals, with acute NS-URI were enrolled between January 2018 and August 2019. Drug allocation was randomized in block of six. The crude extract of A. paniculata was packed in capsules containing 20 mg of andrographolide andgiven thrice daily for four days. The placebo capsules were physically identical. Ten tablets of paracetamol were also given as symptom-rescue drug. They were followed at days 4 to 7, and 14 to 30.

Results: Eight hundred sixty-two patients were enrolled between January 2018 and August 2019. Thirty-three patients withdrew from the study, therefore, 829 patients remained in the final analysis. Four hundred nineteen cases (50.5%) received the crude extract, and 410 cases (49.5%) received the placebo. The demographic data, clinical manifestation, and laboratory findings at the enrollment were similar in both groups. At the first follow-up, the rates of severity of each and combined symptoms decreased similarly, and almost all patients felt much better or recovered on day 7. Paracetamol was used by 205 (48.9%) and 185 (45.1%) patients in the experimental and control groups, respectively, and about three tablets taken in each group. Patient satisfaction rates were also similar in both groups. Adverse effects were mild and self-limited in 18 (4.3%) and 9 (2.2%) patients in the experimental and control groups, respectively.

Conclusion: The therapeutic efficacy of the crude extract or active ingredient from A. paniculata for acute NS-URI was not confirmed. Both groups showed similarly mild and few adverse drug reactions.Trial registration: The present study protocol was registered at the Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR 20170329002; date: March 26, 2017).

Title           : The feasibility determination of risky severe complications of arterial vasculature regarding the filler injection sites at the tear trough

Researcher       : Jitaree, B., Phumyoo, T., Uruwan, S., …McCormick, L., Tansatit, T.

Abstract            : Background: The tear trough is a significant sign of periorbital aging and has usually been corrected with filler injection. However, the arterial supply surrounding the tear trough could be inadvertently injured during injection; therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the nearest arterial locations related to the tear trough and investigate the possibility of severe complications following filler injection.

Methods: Thirty hemifaces of 15 Thai embalmed cadavers were used in this study.

Results: The artery located closest to both the inferior margin (TT1) and mid-pupil level (TT2) of the tear trough was found to be the palpebral branch of the infraorbital artery. Furthermore, at 0.5 mm along the tear trough from the medial canthus (TT3), the angular artery was identified, which was found to be a branch of the ophthalmic artery. The artery at TT1 and TT2 was located beneath both the zygomaticus major and the orbicularis oculi muscles. The distances from TT1 to the artery were measured as follows: laterally, 2.79 ± 1.08 mm along the x axis; and inferiorly, 2.88 ± 1.57 mm along the y axis. For the TT2, the artery was located inferomedially from the landmark of 4.65 ± 1.83 mm along the x axis and 7.13 ± 3.99 mm along the y axis. However, the distance along the x axis at TT3 was located medially as 4.00 ± 2.37 mm.

Abstract            :  For studying the practical memristor-based chaotic circuit with fractional-order dynamic and asserting the importance of dimensional consistency awareness, the dimensional consistency aware fractional-order generalization of a Hewlett Packard (HP) memristor-based chaotic circuit with the physical meaning of fractional time component assigned has been proposed in this work. The simplest chaotic circuit based on such practical memristor has been chosen as the candidate circuit. A novel window function dedicated to HP memristor with fractional-order dynamic i.e. fractional-order HP memristor has been adopted for modelling the boundary effect. For the dynamical analysis, the revisited version of Jumarie’s modified Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative and nonlinear transformation has been used. The generalized circuit which has been found to be the simplest fractional-order HP memristor-based chaotic circuit displays a chaotic behavior with significant differences from those of its conventional integer-order prototype and its dimensional consistency ignored counterpart; thus, the importance of dimensional consistency awareness is asserted. The realization of the generalized circuit by using the fractional-order elements is indicated. The circuit emulator has also been presented.

Abstract            :

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to originally present the generic analytical models of memelement and inverse memelement with time-dependent memory effect.

Design/methodology/approach

The variable order forward Grünwald–Letnikov fractional derivative and the memristor and inverse memristor models proposed by Fouda et al. have been adopted as the basis. Both analytical and numerical studies have been conducted. The applications to the candidate practical memristor and inverse memelements have also been presented.

Findings

The generic analytical models of memelement and inverse memelement with time-dependent memory effect, the simplified ones for DC and AC signal-based analyses and the equations of crucial parameters have been derived. Besides the well-known opposite relationships with frequency, the Lissajous patterns of memelement and inverse memelement also use the opposite relationships with the time. The proposed models can be well applied to the practical elements.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, for the first time, the models’ memelement and inverse memelement with time-dependent memory effect have been presented. A new contrast between these elements has been discovered. The resulting models are applicable to the practical elements.

Abstract            :  Thoracic endometriosis (TE) is an uncommon disorder affecting women of childbearing age. We herein report clinical and thin-section computed tomography (CT) findings of two cases, in which one woman presented with catamenial haemoptysis (CH) alone and another woman presented with bilateral catamenial pneumothoraces (CP) coinciding with CH, a rare manifestation of TE. The dynamic changes demonstrated on thin-section chest CT performed during and after menses led to accurate localisation and presumptive diagnosis of TE in both patients. Following danazol treatment, the patient with CH alone had a complete cure, while the patient with CP and CH had an incomplete cure and required long-term danazol treatment. We discuss the role of imaging studies in TE, with an emphasis on the appropriate timing and scanning technique of chest CT in women presenting with CH, potential mechanisms, treatment and patient outcomes.

Title           : Three-dimensional evaluation of the depressor anguli oris and depressor labii inferioris for botulinum toxin injections

Researcher       : Choi, Y.-J., We, Y.-J., Lee, H.-J., …Tansatit, T., Kim, H.-J.

Abstract            : Background: Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injection administered at an inappropriate site or depth can produce an unwanted change in facial animation because the depressor anguli oris (DAO) and depressor labii inferioris (DLI) muscles are partially overlapped. Therefore, simple BoNT-A injection guidelines, based on 3-dimensional (3D) facial anatomic references and landmarks, would be very useful.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to establish novel BoNT-A injection guidelines that include the soft tissue thickness at the lower perioral region. Data were acquired with a 3D scanning system combined with dissections in order to obtain accurate injection sites and depths for the DAO and DLI.
Methods: 3D scans of the facial skin, superficial fat, and facial muscle surface were performed in 45 embalmed cadavers. The thicknesses of the skin and subcutaneous layer were calculated automatically from superimposed images at each of 5 reference points (P) in the perioral region.
Results: In every case (100%), P3 and P5 were located in the DLI and DAO areas, respectively (45/45). Therefore, we defined P3 as the “DLI point” and P5 as the “DAO point.” The soft tissue thicknesses at the DLI and DAO points were 6.4 [1.7] mm and 6.7 [1.8] mm, respectively.
Conclusions: The P3 and P5 described in this study are effective guidelines that only target the DLI and DAO. Clinicians, specifically, can easily use facial landmarks, such as the cheilion and pupil, to assign the DLI and DAO points without any measurement or palpation of the modiolus.
