<abstract><title style='display:none'>Abstract</title>Target-specific drug-delivery systems for the administration of pharmaceutical compounds enable the localization of drugs to diseased sites. Various types of drug-delivery systems utilize carriers, such as immunoglobulins, serum proteins, synthetic polymers, liposomes, and microspheres. The vesicular system of niosomes, with their bilayer structure assembled by nonionic surfactants, is able to enhance the bioavailability of a drug to a predetermined area for a period. The amphiphilic nature of niosomes promotes their efficiency in encapsulating lipophilic or hydrophilic drugs. Other additives, such as cholesterol, can be used to maintain the rigidity of the niosomes’ structure. This narrative review describes fundamental aspects of niosomes, including their structural components, methods of preparation, limitations, and current applications to various diseases.</abstract>

<abstract><title style='display:none'>Abstract</title> Background: The internal jugular vein (IJV) is used to obtain central venous access for various reasons. Awareness of the expected location and anatomic variations of the IJV is very important to avoid inadvertent arterial puncture.Objective: We evaluated anatomical variations of the IJVs, including diameter, depth from skin surface, relative distance from common carotid artery (CCA) and position in relation to CCA in Thai adults by using CT scan of the neck.Material and Methods: A total of 77 patients who underwent CT scan of the neck (nasopharynx, larynx) at the Department of Radiology, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital (KCMH) from May 1, 2009 to April 30, 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. The diameter of the IJVs, depth from skin surface and relative distance between the IJVs and CCAs were taken bilaterally. Bilateral CCAs were taken as reference points for measuring the location of the IJVs, recorded as lateral, anterior, medial or posterior position. These parameters were evaluated using the same axial slice at a level of cricoid cartilage, which was compatible with the recommended point for central venous catheter insertion via the IJV. Intra- and interobserver reliability between researcher and another radiologist was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).Results: The right IJVs were usually larger than the left IJVs (57/77 or 74.0%) with significant difference in diameter (14.9 ± 4.0 mm vs. 11.6 ± 3.8 mm, p &lt;0.0001). The right IJVs were significantly located more superficial than the left IJVs (16.3 ± 4.2 mm vs. 17.0 ± 4.4 mm, p = 0.049). The right IJVs tended to have distance far from the CCAs more than the left IJVs (1.3 ± 0.6 mm vs. 1.2 ± 0.9 mm, p = 0.372). Most of the IJVs located laterally to the CCAs (145/154 or 94.2%). A total of 4/154 IJVs (2.6%) were located anteriorly and 5/154 IJVs (3.2%) were located posteriorly. There were two cases that the posterior position of the IJVs was seen bilaterally. No medially located IJV was found.Conclusion: There were anatomical variations of the IJVs, including diameter, depth from skin surface, relative distance from the CCAs and position in relation to CCAs, which remained potential risk when jugular venous access was attempted. Awareness of these variations is very important.</abstract>

<abstract><title style='display:none'>Abstract</title> Background: The transurethral resection syndrome TUR syndrome is the most serious complication following transurethral resection of prostate (TURP).Objective: We compared 5% dextrose in water with sterile water as an irrigating solution and evaluated postoperative intravascular hemolysis.Methods: A prospective, randomized, controlled trial of 41 benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) patients who underwent TURP. The differences between preoperative and postoperative free plasma hemoglobin were measured by using a spectrophotometric method to determine the degree of intravascular hemolysis. Serum glucose and electrolytes were measured preoperatively and postoperatively. Signs and symptoms of TUR syndrome were recorded. Prostatic tissues were weighed. Volumes of irrigating fluid were recorded.Results: Free plasma hemoglobin was significantly increased in the sterile water group (n = 21) and higher than in the 5% dextrose in water group (n = 20) (p &lt; 0.001). The postoperative plasma glucose was higher in the 5% dextrose in water group (p = 0.007). None of patients developed a TUR syndrome. There was no difference in other serum electrolytes between both groups.Conclusion: Intravascular hemolysis can be prevented by using 5% dextrose in water instead of sterile water. No correlation between hemolysis and TUR syndrome was found in TURP patients with postoperative stable serum sodium.</abstract>

Wolffian tumors in females are rare gynecological neoplasms, with fewer than 100 cases reported. Existing literature primarily focuses on the pathology, and reports involving imaging are limited.
</sec>
<sec><title style='display:none'>Objective</title>
This study presents a case of Wolffian tumor, emphasizing its magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics to enhance preoperative diagnostic accuracy.
</sec>
<sec><title style='display:none'>Case report</title>
A 56-year-old woman presented with a year-long history of irregular vaginal bleeding. MRI revealed a solid mass in the right adnexal region. On T2-weighted images, the mass exhibited slightly elevated signal intensity with a distinctive low-signal intensity rim. Diffusion-weighted imaging displayed markedly increased signal intensity, and the contrast enhancement was moderate. The patient underwent laparoscopic right adnexectomy and received a Wolffian tumor diagnosis. No recurrence was observed during a 6-month follow-up.
</sec>
<sec><title style='display:none'>Conclusions</title>
Wolffian tumors exhibit distinctive MRI presentations. Notably, the prominent low-signal intensity rim on MRI may aid in accurate preoperative tumor diagnosis.

The triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtype, characterized by loss of HER2, estrogen, and progesterone receptors, displays aggressive phenotype and poor prognosis compared to other BC subtypes. Since the TNBC cells are devoid of receptors, endocrine therapy is an ineffective option for TNBC patients, necessitating canonical chemotherapy strategies to treat TNBC. It is crucial to use alternative and natural agents to support chemotherapy in TNBC.
</sec>
<sec><title style='display:none'>Objectives</title>
To clarify the molecular mechanism of the tumorigenic effects of gambogic acid (GA) on TNBC cells with different epithelial character since GA has a wide spectrum of anticancer activity for most cancer types.
</sec>
<sec><title style='display:none'>Methods</title>
We determined the cytotoxic dose of GA incubation of TNBC cells (MDA-MB-231 and BT-20 cells) for 24 h. We performed the MTT test and toluidine blue (TB) staining protocol for TNBC cells. We analyzed E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Bax, and neuroserpin mRNAs in both cells by qPCR. We evaluated apoptosis using DAPI staining and assessed the ROS using the 2ʹ,7ʹ-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) method.
</sec>
<sec><title style='display:none'>Results</title>
We determined the IC50 concentrations of GA in MDA-MB-231 and BT-20 cells to be 315.8 nM and 441.8 nM, respectively. TB staining showed that BT-20 cells survive at excessive cytotoxic doses of GA, while most of the MDA-MB-231 cells were killed. Also, we found that BT-20 cells are more resistant to GA-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress than the MDA-MB-231 cells. qPCR results showed that GA upregulated neuroserpin, an oxidative stress-relieving factor in the BT-20 cells, but not in the MDA-MB-231 cells.
</sec>
<sec><title style='display:none'>Conclusions</title>
The elevated level of neuroserpin could be a predictive marker to determine the development of resistance to chemotherapeutic agents.

Thailand has been administering the recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatment for &gt;20 years. Due to limited resources being available, efforts have been directed toward utilizing rhGH at the lowest feasible dose. However, there is currently a lack of evidence in terms of the efficacy and outcomes.
</sec>
<sec><title style='display:none'>Objective</title>
To evaluate the auxological outcomes of growth hormone (GH) treatment and the GH secretion ability after reaching final adult height (FAH) and discontinuing rhGH.
</sec>
<sec><title style='display:none'>Methods</title>
Data of 40 patients were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical characteristics, auxological data, and results of biochemical and endocrine investigations before and during rhGH treatment were evaluated. In addition, GH retesting was performed in 24 patients using the insulin tolerance test.
</sec>
<sec><title style='display:none'>Results</title>
Twenty patients (50%) had complete growth hormone deficiency (GHD), defined as peak stimulated GH level &lt;5 ng/mL, and the remaining patients had partial GHD. Most patients were male (n = 25, 62.5%). The mean age at which rhGH was initiated was 8.9 years. Patients with partial GHD received a higher dose of rhGH than those with complete GHD (30.9 µg/kg/d vs. 26.2 µg/kg/d, <italic>P</italic> = 0.02). Patients with complete and partial GHD reached FAH at height standard deviation scores (SDSs) of −0.65 and −1.47, respectively. The factors associated with obtaining a good clinical response in terms of height gain included peak-stimulated GH level, age of puberty, and age of discontinuing rhGH. After completing the rhGH treatment, 13 of the 24 patients showed normal GH secretion. Patients with multiple pituitary hormone deficiency (MPHD) were likely to have persistent GHD through adulthood (n = 8, 88.9%).
</sec>
<sec><title style='display:none'>Conclusion</title>
This study has demonstrated that the use of low-dose rhGH could result in healthy populations achieving optimal FAHs. Patients with MPHD might not require retesting as they were likely to have persistent GHD. The results obtained in this research highlight the benefits of the treatment. This treatment can be applied in resource-limited countries.

The diagnostic approach for patients with tremor is challenging due to the complex and overlapping phenotypes among tremor syndromes. The first step in the evaluation of tremor is to identify the tremulous movement and exclude the tremor mimics. The second step is to classify the tremor syndrome based on the characteristics of tremor from historical clues and focused examination (Axis 1). Comprehensive tremor examinations involve the assessment of tremor in different conditions (rest, action or mixed, position or task-specific), distribution of tremor (upper limb, lower limb, head, jaw), positive signs for functional tremor (FT) if suspected (distractibility, entrainment, co-contraction), and associated neurological signs including parkinsonism, dystonic posture, cerebellar/brainstem signs, neuropathy, and cognitive impairment. A pivotal feature in this step is to determine any distinct feature of a specific isolated or combined tremor syndrome. In this review, we propose an algorithm to assess upper limb tremors. Ancillary testing should be performed if clinical evaluation is unclear. The choice of investigation depends on the types of tremors considered to narrow down the spectrum of etiology (Axis 2). Laboratory blood tests are considered for acute onset and acute worsening of tremors, while structural neuroimaging is indicated in unilateral tremors with acute onset, nonclassical presentations, and a combination of neurological symptoms. Neurophysiological study is an important tool that aids in distinguishing between tremor and myoclonus, etiology of tremor and document specific signs of FT. Treatment is mainly symptomatic based depending on the etiology of the tremor and the patient’s disabilities.

The early diagnosis and treatment of cholangiocarcinoma may benefit from specific tumor markers to be used in clinical practice.
</sec>
<sec><title style='display:none'>Objectives</title>
To investigate whether the pGCsiRNA-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) can affect the onset and progression of cholangiocarcinoma and its possible mechanism using the targeted therapy of nude mouse model of cholangiocarcinoma with attenuated <italic>Salmonella</italic> carrying the plasmid pGCsiRNA-VEGF.
</sec>
<sec><title style='display:none'>Methods</title>
The nude mouse model of cholangiocarcinoma was established by tail vein injection of QBC939 cells and given attenuated <italic>Salmonella</italic> carrying the plasmid pGCsiRNA-VEGF. One month later, the tumor volume of nude mice was observed, and the tumor growth curve was plotted. The harvested tumors were weighed and detected for tissue structural changes and cell death status by hematoxylin–eosin staining. The protein and mRNA expressions of VEGF, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), and MMP9 were detected by Western blotting and PCR, respectively.
</sec>
<sec><title style='display:none'>Results</title>
The tumor volume and weight of the pGCsiRNA-VEGF group were significantly smaller than those of the mock and the si-scramble groups (<italic>P</italic> &lt; 0.05). The expressions of VEGF, MMP2, and MMP9 at the transcriptional and translational levels were inhibited by pGCsiRNA-VEGF. PGCsiRNA-VEGF promoted tissue apoptosis and destroyed the tissue structure.
</sec>
<sec><title style='display:none'>Conclusions</title>
In vivo silencing of VEGF can affect cell survival and inhibit cell migration, invasion, and development, probably by enhancing apoptosis and inhibiting the expressions of MMP2 and MMP9.

<abstract><title style='display:none'>Abstract</title> In Thailand, more than 150,000 patients are currently treated with antiretroviral drugs under the support of the National AIDS Program (NAP). The appointed Adults and Adolescents Committee consisted of 28 members who are experts in HIV research, patient care or health care policy. Relevant published literature, guidelines, and the most recent relevant clinical trials presented internationally were reviewed. Several peer review and clinical studies conducted in Thailand were included in the review process. Special considerations for patients with co-infection of tuberculosis or hepatitis B were incorporated. Appropriate cut-off of CD4+ T-cell counts when to commence ART among Thai patients have been considered. It is now recommended to start ART at CD4+ T-cell count &lt;350 cells/mm3. For treatment-naive patients, the preferred initial therapy is a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based regimen containing lamivudine plus zidovudine or tenofovir. Stavudine will be phased out in a two-year plan at the national program level. Viral load and CD4+ T-cell counts should be monitored at least once and twice a year. To achieve long-term treatment success, enhancing adherence together with the proper management of antiretroviral-related toxicity is critical. In summary, the major changes from the Thai 2008 guidelines include commencing ART earlier. ART is recommended regardless of CD4+ T cell count if patients have an indication to treat their HBV co-infection. Preferred first regimen uses AZT or TDF, not d4T as the NRTI-backbone. Furthermore, efavirenz is now considered a preferred NNRTI, along with nevirapine.</abstract>

<abstract><title style='display:none'>Abstract</title> Background and Objective: Although perinatal depression is a worldwide problem, most of the studies related to this issue have been conducted in Western countries. This paper summarizes the literature on the prevalence as well as associated factors among Asian countries where the cultural attitudes, customs, and norms are considerably different from those in Western countries.Methods: We conducted a literature search using MEDLINE (PubMed) from 1968, PsychINFO from 1970, and SCOPUS database from 1982 using keywords “depression”, “antenatal”, “antepartum”, “pregnancy”, “postnatal”, “postpartum”, “perinatal”, “after childbirth” and “Asia”. Only the articles published in English were included.Results: The overall prevalence of depression during pregnancy and postnatal period are about 20% and 21.8%, respectively. The factors related to perinatal depression can be grouped into the following categories, individual characteristics, husband/marital relationship, pregnancy-related, infant-related, and other psychosocial issues. While there is considerable overlap between Asian and Western countries with respect to risk factors for perinatal depression, premarital pregnancy, conflict with mother in-law, and dissatisfaction with infant’s gender are more specific to Asian cultures.Conclusions: Studies conducted in Asian countries suggest that the prevalence of perinatal depression is slightly higher than in Western countries. There are several unique culturally related issues that clinicians treating pregnant and postpartum Asian women should be aware as they contribute to an increased risk of depression in these women.</abstract>

Perinatal depression in Asian women: prevalence, associated factors, and cultural aspects

<abstract><title style='display:none'>Abstract</title> Background: Trichuriasis is an important soil-transmitted helminth infection caused by Trichuris trichiura. About one-tenth of the world population may be infected. Incidentally, T. vulpis or dog whipworm has been reported to infect humans based on the egg size. However, an overlapping egg dimension occurs between T. trichiura and T. vulpis leading to the potential for misdiagnosis. Objective: Develop a PCR method to differentiate T. trichiura and T. vulpis eggs in stool samples and to investigate the prevalence of both whipworms in humans and dogs in a rural community in Thailand. Materials and methods: We determined and compared the small subunit ribosomal RNA sequences of both species of whipworms for developing species-specific PCR diagnosis. After validation of the method, we conducted a cross-sectional survey at Ta Song Yang District in Tak Province, northwestern Thailand in 2008. Stool samples were randomly recruited from 80 schoolchildren (36 males, 44 females) and 79 dogs in this community. Results: Fifty-six individuals harbored Trichuris eggs in their stools. The PCR-based diagnosis revealed that 50 cases were infected with T. trichiura and six (10.7%) were co-infected with both T. trichiura and T. vulpis. Although the dimension of Trichuris eggs provided some diagnostic clues for species differentiation, a remarkable variation in the length of these whipworm eggs was observed among samples that could lead to misdiagnosis. Conclusion: Both T. trichiura and T. vulpis eggs were detected in stool samples of dogs that roamed around this community, highlighting the potential reservoir role of dogs in the transmission of both human and dog whipworms in this population.</abstract>

<abstract><title style='display:none'>Abstract</title> Background: Helminth infections continue to pose serious health problems in Thailand. The infections of greatest concern are opisthorchiasis and hookworm.Objectives: We evaluated the prevalence of these infections. The Thai Ministry of Health established a national health plan in 1995 to coordinate health plans for the provincial public health sectors.Methods: A national survey based on probability sampling, interviews, and stool examinations was conducted in 2009 to gather prevalence information of the helminth infections.Results: We found an overall prevalence of helminthiasis among 15,555 Thai people of 18.1%. The highest prevalence was found in the northeastern regions of Thailand. By comparison with previous surveys conducted over the past 5 decades, the prevalence rates have decreased. However, pockets of high infection remain, particularly in the north and northeast of Thailand.Conclusions: Targeted intervention by means of educational programs and public health intervention, and continuing surveillance are indicated.</abstract>
