Immunogenicity And Allergenicity Of A Major Shrimp Allergen Displayed On The Surface Of Virus-Like Particles (Vlps), Supapich Chanasit Jan 2023

Immunogenicity And Allergenicity Of A Major Shrimp Allergen Displayed On The Surface Of Virus-Like Particles (Vlps), Supapich Chanasit

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Frequencies of shrimp-induced anaphylaxis are particularly important in Asia; Asian countries consume more than 60% of the global seafood production. Currently, approved allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) for shrimp allergy is lacking. Shrimp sensitizations are only managed by strict avoidance and treatment with adrenaline. Clinical studies showed that oral immunotherapy (OIT), oral administrations of increasing amounts of food allergen extracts, can be now recognized as an alternative active treatment to strict food avoidance in certain patients with IgE-mediated food allergy. Up to now, the only FDA-approved OIT is for desensitization of peanut-allergic patients. Recently, sustained unresponsiveness to peanuts by OIT was shown …

Applied Environmental Research

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for phytoplankton growth in water bodies and an important element in biochemical processes. Also, excessive P in river causes eutrophication which endangers aquatic organisms while sediment acts as sink for inorganic and organic pollutants and nutrients. To assess the availability of P and heavy metals (HMs) in Ogun River, surface sediment samples were collected at twelve anthropogenic sites for three months. The surface sediment samples were sequentially extracted to determine five phosphorus fractions [loosely-sorbed P (LS-P), iron-bound P (Fe-P), authigenic apatite, biogenic apatite and CaCO3-bound P (CFA-P), detrital apatite (Det-P) and other inorganic P …

Removal Of Diclofenac In Wastewater By Activated Sludge In Batch And Moving-Bed Biofilm Reactor Experiments, Keletso Chakalisa, Piriyakorn Injai, Kullapa Chanawanno, Panaya Kotchaplai, Pumis Thuptimdang

Applied Environmental Research

This study aimed to determine the diclofenac removal in wastewater by sludge taken from an operating wastewater treatment facility. Laboratory experiments were conducted in two parts: batch and moving-bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) experiments. Results from batch experiments showed that 0.1–2 mg L-1 of diclofenac could be removed more than 80% within 72 h, and the removal efficiency reduced to less than 60% for higher concentrations. The increase in the removal rate from 0.00058 to 0.16527 mg L-1 h-1 was observed when the initial diclofenac concentration increased from 0.1 to 10 mg L-1, respectively. The average first-order rate constants of 24-h …

Documenting Factors Contributing To The Emergence Of Migrant Learning Centers In Thailand, Amanda Mowry Jan 2023

Documenting Factors Contributing To The Emergence Of Migrant Learning Centers In Thailand, Amanda Mowry

Asian Review

This research aims to examine social and economic factors that led to the establishment, proliferation, and development of Migrant Learning Centers (MLCs) in Thailand. With the migration of millions of Myanmar people to Thailand over the past 30 years, Thailand’s economy has positively benefited from their contribution to the labor sector but has also experienced unexpected challenges in realizing migrant children and youth’s right to education. With approximately 200,000 non-Thai children out-of-school, an education chasm threatens the safety and opportunity of migrant children and has necessitated alternative forms of learning via MLCs.  The establishment of Migrant Learning Centers was a …

Rice serves as a fundamental sustenance for approximately half of the global population, particularly in Asia. Nevertheless, the cultivation of rice demands a substantial water supply, and the challenges associated with water deficits have been exacerbated by irregular rainfall patterns induced by global warming. Consequently, there is a critical need to reassess irrigation techniques to effectively tackle these issues. In this comprehensive review, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) method was employed to systematically explore literature on irrigation techniques aimed at fostering sustainable water management in rice cultivation systems. The primary components of the framework encompass …

Cancer remains a major class of morbidity and mortality despite basic and clinical research and trials of promising new therapies. In the current era, many drugs are marketed with flavonoid nucleus. Based on this information, this study aims to synthesize and screen flavones for their anticancer activity. Docking studies for cytotoxic activity of flavonoid derivatives targeting tankyrase enzyme were performed. A new series of flavonoid derivatives were prepared from chalcones. Chalcones were prepared between substituted benzaldehyde and 2-hydroxy acetophenone in the presence of potassium hydroxide as catalyst. The flavone derivatives were characterized based on IR, 1H NMR, and Mass spectral …

Background: Although the Pharmacy Council of Thailand has announced a standard telepharmacy service procedure, there may be some details or limitations that are specific to the primary care cluster (PCC) in the real situation. Objective: This research aimed to create a telepharmacy service model for the PCC using concept mapping techniques. Methodology: Group discussions were held, each participant will submit their opinions and graded of importance and possibilities of each opinion. After that, the data obtained were statistically analyzed to create a concept mapping. Results: From the group discussion, (n = 10) can be concluded that the optimum telepharmacy services …
