Chulalongkorn Medical Journal
Objective : Dirofilariasis or heartworm disease, a mosquito-borne parasitic disease, continues to be a serious problem in canine (dogs) and feline (cats) species. The disease is caused mainly by the filarial nematode, Dirofilaria immitis. In canine dirofilariasis, the adult worms, present in the pulmonary arteries and the right ventricle, causing damages and leading to pulmonary hypertension and right-sided congestive heart failure. In addition, acute death in feline dirofilariasis causes lung injury resulting in respiratory distress. Being critical to transmission and complex disease pathology, the microfilarial stage is useful in laboratory diagnosis; however, the microfilaria identification process is laborious, difficult and …

Wolbachia Of Arthropods And Filarial Nematodes: Biology And Applications, S Sungpradit, S. Nuchprayoon
Chulalongkorn Medical Journal
Wolbachia is a group of obligatory intracellular gram-negative bacteria. This bacterium is responsible for manipulation of host reproduction in many arthropod species and involved in embryonic and larval development, adult female fertility, and survival in filarial nematode. The applied biology of Wolbachia and modification of pest and vector species using Wolbachia have been studied in order to suppress or modify natural populations. In addition, Wolbachia has been used as a novel chemotherapeutic target for filariasis control program. This article reviews the biology of Wolbachia in arthropods and filarial nematodes, including recent advance and future directions of using Wolbachia as a …

Survey Of Knowledge Of Outpatients On Locations In The Refrigerator For Eye Drop Keeping, S Pornvichitpisan, N. Laohapojanart
Chulalongkorn Medical Journal
Some kinds of eye drop such as Latanoprost, Chloramphenicol, Cefazolin, Ceftazidime, Vancomycin and Amphotericin B need to be kept at the temperature of 2-8 degree celsius to maintain their efficiency. Patients are usually recommended to keep these drugs in the refrigerator while dispensing. However, the temperature in the refrigerator is not consistent especially the refrigerator's door has higher temperature than other parts.

Molecular Identification Of Maggots Captured From Forensic Cases, K Preativatanyou, N Eakachaiworrawut, P Chutivongse, N Sirisup, P. Siriyasatien
Chulalongkorn Medical Journal
The estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI) is necessary for supporting justice to the dead. During the early stage of death, estimation of PMI of the corpses depends on the changing of muscle contraction and physical conditions, but this method can be used effectively in case of death within 24 hours. Flies are the first organisms which swarm on corpses. Consequently, accuracy of the estimation of PMI using fly larvae collected from corpses depends on identification of the species of flies. However, the macroscopic method using posterior spiracle is not definite for identifying the species of flies. Therefore, the molecular …

Canine Heartworm (Dirofilaria Immitis, Leidy) And Risk Of Infection In Human, S. Tiawsirisup
Chulalongkorn Medical Journal
Canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) is a filarial nematode which dogs, cats and some wildlife creatures are definitive hosts, and humans are accidental hosts. Life cycle of this nematode involves the development in the mosquito vector. Microfilaria released from a female nematode can be found in the definitive host's blood circulation and is required to develop into the third or infective stage larva in the mosquito. Infective stage larva will be released from infected mosquito's mouthpart into the host's skin during the course of taking the blood meal, develop into an adult stage in the definitive host, and reside in the …

Wolbachia Isolation By Fractioned Centrifugation From Dirofilaria Immitis For Protein Analysis, V Sanprasert, S Sungpradit, S. Nuchprayoon
Chulalongkorn Medical Journal
Objective : The biological roles of Wolbachia, a filarial intracellular bacteria, have promoted applied researches in lymphatic filariasis. Analysis of Wolbachia proteins will provide complementary information on the biology of Wolbachia, as well as the immune mechanisms against filarial nematodes. We therefore developed a Wolbachia isolation method from Dirofilaria immitis (dog heartworm) for protein analysis. Methods : Wolbachia bacteria were homogenized and isolated by fractioned centrifugation by using 0.85% NaCl supplemented with varying concentration of Nonidet P-40 (NP-40) as the homogenization buffer. The purity of Wolbachia extracts were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and by quantitative polymerase …

Diethylcarbamazine (DEC) treatment for lymphatic filariasis can be accompanied by adverse drug reactions. Severe adverse reactions are usually uncommon but once happen, they could be acute and sometimes life-threatening. We report here a case of 15-year-old patient who was treated with DEC and developed severe adverse reactions including fever, headache, dizziness, chest pain, sore throat, cough, dyspnea, nausea and vomiting. A complete profile of clinical findings and blood parameters, including parasitological, hematological, biochemical, and immunological parameters was reported.

Hypertension In The Young, A Chanakul, T. Deekajorndech
Hypertension In The Young, A Chanakul, T. Deekajorndech
Chulalongkorn Medical Journal
Hypertension in childhood and adolescent is increasing and it is not a benign condition. Obesity and other lifestyle factors, such as physical inactivity, increased-intake of high calories and high salt food, are major determinants for this trend. Body mass index, hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy and early coronary disease appear to be a correlation in adolescence. There are the evidences that high blood pressure can be tracked from childhood into adulthood, increasing the risks of coronary heart disease, stroke and end-stage renal disease. The early identification, proper evaluation and appropriate management of hypertension in children can reduce the associated long-term morbidity …
Mid Aortic Syndrome : An Unusual Cause Of Childhood Hypertension, A Chanakul, P. Rianthavorn
Mid Aortic Syndrome : An Unusual Cause Of Childhood Hypertension, A Chanakul, P. Rianthavorn
Chulalongkorn Medical Journal
Mid aortic syndrome (MAS) is characterized by an extensive narrowing of the abdominal aorta, with involvement of the renal and visceral arterial branches. Angiography is the gold standard for the diagnosis of MAS. However, computed tomography angiography (CTA) can effectively determine the location and the extent of the stenosis. Medical management of MAS generally means a lifelong, combination of multiple classes of antihypertensive medications. Surgical correction such as aortoaortic bypass with renal revascularization remains the definitive treatment of the idiopathic MAS. Moreover, the surgery can provide tissues for histological examination to arrive at the definite diagnosis of MAS. We reported …
