Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Phytochemical investigation of a methanol extracts prepared from Dendrobium pachyglossum and Dendrobium heterocarpum, Orchidaceae, led to the the isolation of thirteen compounds. One new bizbibenzyl compound and 6 known compounds including 4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-dimethoxy-9,10-phenanthrene, moscatilin, gigantol, 4,5,4'-trihydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxybibenzyl, dendrocandin T, and isovitexin were separated from D. pachyglossum. From D. heterocarpum, 6 compounds were isolated including amoenylin, methyl 3-(4-hydoxyphenyl) propionate, 3,4-dihydroxy-5,4'-dimethoxybibenzyl, dendrocandin B, dendrofalconerol A, and syringaresinol, respectively. The structure of isolated compounds were determined by analysis of spectroscopic data (NMR and HR-ESI-MS). They were then investigated for cytotoxicity and cytoprotective effect against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress on HaCaT keratinocytes. The result showed that …

Positive Labeled And Unlabeled Learning Methods Of Meta-Path Based Functional Profiles For Predicting Drug-Disease Associations, Thitipong Kawichai Jan 2020

Positive Labeled And Unlabeled Learning Methods Of Meta-Path Based Functional Profiles For Predicting Drug-Disease Associations, Thitipong Kawichai

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Drug repositioning, discovering new indications for existing drugs, is a competent strategy to reduce time, costs, and risk in drug discovery and development. Many computational methods have been developed to identify new drug-disease associations for further validation and drug development. A recent approach showing superior performance with less required data is a meta-path based approach, which derives network-based information using path patterns from drug to disease nodes. However, existing meta-path based methods discard information of intermediate nodes along paths, which are important indicators for describing relationships between drugs and diseases. With known (positive) and unknown (unlabeled) drug-disease associations, this research …

Anomalous Event Detection And Localization Based On Deep Generative Adversarial Networks For Surveillance Videos, Thittaporn Ganokratanaa Jan 2020

Anomalous Event Detection And Localization Based On Deep Generative Adversarial Networks For Surveillance Videos, Thittaporn Ganokratanaa

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Anomaly detection is of great significance for intelligent surveillance videos. Current works typically struggle with object detection and localization problems due to crowded scenes and lack of sufficient prior information of the objects of interest during training, resulting in false-positive detection results. Thus, in this thesis, we propose two novel frameworks for video anomaly detection and localization. We first propose a Deep Spatiotemporal Translation Network (DSTN), a novel unsupervised anomaly detection and localization method based on Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) and Edge Wrapping (EW). In this work, we introduce (i) a novel fusion of background removal and real optical flow …

Genome Annotation Pipelines For Prokaryotic And Eukaryotic Microorganisms Using De Novo Short Read Genome Assembly, Songtham Anuntakarun

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is the massively parallel sequencing technology that has revolutionized biological sciences. Currently, microorganism genomes have been widely studied using NGS. However, the lack of details in the draft or reference genome is a common problem in genome analysis. Therefore, this study aims to develop genome analysis pipelines for eukaryotic and prokaryotic microorganisms using public bioinformatics software and public databases. Leishmania matiniquensis and Leptospira interrogans were used as models for genome assembly and annotation in eukaryote and prokaryote, respectively. Our pipelines used SPAdes for short read assembled, AUGUSTUS and Prokka for gene prediction in eukaryotic and prokaryotic microorganisms, …

The Labeling Of 99mtc-Psma-Hbed-Cc For Prostate Cancer Imaging, Benchamat Phromphao Jan 2020

The Labeling Of 99mtc-Psma-Hbed-Cc For Prostate Cancer Imaging, Benchamat Phromphao

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer and the fifth leading cause of death worldwide in 2018 (1). Initially, PCa diagnosis is based on Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test, which is low sensitivity and low specificity, and sonography guided needle biopsy, which is invasive. Therefore, molecular imaging recently enrolls as an important technique in PCa diagnosis using some small molecules which are well developed to bind to overexpressed Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA). The small molecules, for example PSMA-HBED-CC, PSMA I&T, can be chelated with Ga-68 for diagnostic purpose using positron emission tomography (PET) scan. Even though …

Influence Of Mixed Anionic-Nonionic Surfactants On Methane Hydrate Formation : Suppression Of Foam Formation, Chakorn Viriyakul

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Solidified natural gas (SNG) via clathrate hydrate is a new technology for natural gas storage with high energy content per unit volume, extremely safe, and ease to recover. Although SNG has several advantages, its limitation is low rate of hydrate formation. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is well known as a kinetic promoter used to increase the hydrate formation rate. However, using SDS resulted in a large amount of foam during gas recovery. In order to alleviate this problem, mixtures of SDS with nonionic surfactants were investigated. Polyoxyethylene (n) lauryl ether (EO₃ and EO₅) and alkyl poly glycol (APG) were mixed …

Investigation Of Cytotoxic Activity Of Full-Length And Truncated Colicin N On Human Cancer Cells, Methawee Duangkaew

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Bacteria, exposed to stress from the environment or competition, release toxins called bacteriocins. Bacteriocins are classified by their mode of cytotoxicity such as pore former, endonuclease, etc. Colicins are the member of bacteriocins produced by Escherichia coli (E.coli). Among several types of colicins cytotoxicity, Pore-forming colicins has been reported in both bacteria and various type of cancer cells. Colicin N is also a pore-forming colicin and the anticancer activity of colicin N has not been extensively reported. Here we examined the cytotoxic effects of colicin N and its domain on cancer cells. The expression and purification of recombinant full-length and …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

To investigate the phytochemicals of the entire plants of Dendrobium braianense brought about in the isolation of three bibenzyls, which included chrysotoxin, moscatilin and gigantol. From the whole plant of D. kentrophyllum three flavonoids, namely, quercetin, kaempferol and rutin were isolated, the structures of which were decided by means of analysis of spectroscopic data to compare the values already reported. They were assessed for their alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Gigantol, quercetin and kaempferolwere found to exhibit strong alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity when compared with the positive control acarbose, while chrysotoxin, moscatilin and rutin were devoid of activity.
