Tlr3 Signaling Modulates Immunomodulatory Property Of Human Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells., Daneeya Chaikiawkeaw
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Toll like receptor 3 (TLR3) is a member of TLR family functions to recognizes double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) produced by positive-strand RNA viruses and DNA virusesand generate signaling that stimulate body immune system against virus infection. However, recent evidence suggests that TLR3 signaling may also play a role in initiating the immunosuppressive property of the cells. Study on skin regeneration has shown the anti-inflammatory responses of keratinocytes required for wound healing andthe increasing number of hair follicle formation after TLR3 signaling was activated by fragment of RNA released from damaged cells. Moreover, activation of TLR3 signaling have shown to elicit a …

Effect Of Cyclic Tensile Force On The Expression Of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 9 And Interleukin 6 In Human Periodontal Ligament Cells, Yanee Tantilertanant
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Periodontium is a specialized tissue laying between tooth and surrounding bone. It functions as force cushion. In particular stimulation including mechanical force, periodontal ligament (PDL) cells which are mechanosensitive cells have the ability to secrete specific cytokines and proteins. PDL cells also have the potential to differentiate into osteoblast-like cells or fibroblast-like cells. PDL cells perceive combination of force in oral cavity in which major component is cyclic tensile force (CTF). CTF play an essential role in modulating PDL cells to maintain both hard and soft tissue integrity. Here, we demonstrated that CTF was able to stimulate the expression of …

Green Composites Of Polylactic Acid Filled With Natural Fiber For Biodegradation Application, Chamaiporn Yamoum
Green Composites Of Polylactic Acid Filled With Natural Fiber For Biodegradation Application, Chamaiporn Yamoum
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
This research focuses on how to use natural fibers available from agricultural residues to produce biodegradable materials such as mulch films. Green composites were prepared from natural fibers (peanut shell and bagasse fiber) and polylactic acid (PLA) together with plasticizers. The presence of plasticizers improved PLA molecular mobility as seen by the reduction of glass transition, cold crystallization, and melting temperatures. The addition of natural fibers into PLA brought down decomposition temperature when compared to PLA. The morphological study of the composites showed poor interfacial adhesion between natural fibers and PLA matrix. Moreover, the loading of plasticizers improved distribution of …
Sustained Release Of Antibiotics From Bone Spacer, Miranda Oungeun
Sustained Release Of Antibiotics From Bone Spacer, Miranda Oungeun
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Bone spacer is a device developed to temporarily insert into the body to treat infected tissue caused by bone replacement. Burst release and short-time release of antibiotics from bone spacer not only limits their ability to clear infection but also causes tissue inflammation. Therefore, here we have fabricated bone spacers containing antibiotic-loaded particles, studied their antibiotic release character, and measured the compressive strength of PMMA cements. Four biocompatible particles were investigated. Vancomycin and erythromycin were used as hydrophilic and hydrophobic model drugs, respectively. Rice granules and calcium citrate particles were loaded with vancomycin and gave the percent loading of 84.9 …

Association Of Genetic And Non-Genetic Factors With Clinical Responses Of Donepezil And Galantamine In Thai Patients With Dementia, Thitipon Yaowaluk
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Donepezil and galantamine are commonly prescribed for the treatment of dementia. However, the response rate of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors is only 15-35 %. Inter-individual variability in donepezil and galantamine response has been associated with genetic factor in some population. Moreover, non-genetic factors such as age, gender, education level, comorbidities and drug-drug interactions can influence pharmacokinetic profiles and drug responses. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the association of genetic variations that involved therapeutic effects of donepezil and galantamine including pathogenic gene; APOE, drug metabolizing genes; CYP2D6, CYP3A5, UGT1A1, transporter gene; ABCB1 and non-genetic factors with therapeutic outcomes as measured as Thai …

Effect Of Local Rewiring In Adaptive Epidemic Erdos-Renyi Random Networks, Suwakan Piankoranee
Effect Of Local Rewiring In Adaptive Epidemic Erdos-Renyi Random Networks, Suwakan Piankoranee
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Adaptive epidemic network is driven by two main processes, (1) infectionrecovery process that changes the states of the nodes, and (2) rewiring process that modifies the topology of the network. In the past two decades, epidemic models on adaptive networks have gained interests because understanding the dynamics between these two processes can be key to improving control of diseases. However, in most of these models, the rewiring mechanism is based on information known globally, i.e., everyone knows the health status of all others in the network. This concept is not practical in real life for large network. This dissertation aims …
