Mycobacterium Spp. Identification By Nanopore Technology, Samitanan Sunantawanit
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Tuberculosis is caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Although TB and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection exhibit similar symptoms, their treatments differ significantly. NTM strains need a specific drug regimen and some NTM strains are resistant to anti-TB drugs. Hence, mycobacterial identification is crucial. At present, the culture-based technique is the gold standard in mycobacterium detection, but it is time-consuming (3-6 weeks). Here, this study aimed to develop mycobacterial amplicon-based nanopore sequencing (Myco-ANS) assay for the differentiation of eight reference strains of mycobacteria, as well as to assess the diagnostic accuracy of Myco-ANS compared with reference line probe assay for …

Polycationic Colicin N Inhibits Metastatic Activity In Human Lung Cancer Cells Through Suppression On Epithelial To Mesenchymal Transition, Lwin Lwin Aye
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Colicins are bacterial toxins, produced by E. coli under stressed conditions to kill other related strains of bacteria. Among other bacteriocins, colicin N is pore-forming bacteriocin which has cytotoxic activity on human lung cancer H460 cells. Polycationic (supercharged) colicin N (CoIN+12) is structurally engineered colicin N with more positive charges, on receptor binding domain of which, aspartic and glutamic acids were replaced by six lysine residues. It has been reported that polycationic colicin N has higher cytotoxic activity in human lung cancer cells. However, anti-metastatic effect of polycationic colicin N on human lung cancer cells has not been investigated. In …
Identification Of Active Region Of Colicin N Translocating Domain Involved In Its Antibacterial Activity, Wanassanan Lampromkaew
Identification Of Active Region Of Colicin N Translocating Domain Involved In Its Antibacterial Activity, Wanassanan Lampromkaew
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Colicins are bacteriocins produced by Escherichia coli (E. coli) and toxified themselves. In general, colicins comprise three domains, including the N-terminal domain or translocation (T) domain, the Receptor binding (R) domain, and the Cytotoxic (C) domain. The combination of these domains produces different types and activities of colicin. Colicin N is the smallest colicin and functioned in pore-formation by the C-domain on the E. coli membrane. The antimicrobial activity is regulated by the specific binding between OmpF and TolA (as receptor and translocator) at region OBS (OmpF binding site) and TABs (TolA binding site), respectively. They are then inserting the …
Identification And Functional Characterization Of Mads-Box Proteins And Ccos Involved In Carotenoid Metabolism In Durian Durio Zibethinus L. Pulps, Kittiya Tantisuwanichkul
Identification And Functional Characterization Of Mads-Box Proteins And Ccos Involved In Carotenoid Metabolism In Durian Durio Zibethinus L. Pulps, Kittiya Tantisuwanichkul
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Durian (Durio zibethinus L.), known as the "King of fruits," holds significant economic importance in Thailand. Apart from its unique odor and sweet taste, durian pulp exhibits a yellow color, which is an important aspect of fruit quality. Carotenoids are essential compounds responsible for the yellow, orange, and red coloration in many fruits and vegetables. During durian fruit development and ripening processes, its pulp changes from white to yellow due to increased carotenoid accumulation. The carotenoid biosynthetic pathway, responsible for carotenoid production, is controlled by ethylene. However, the mechanism underlying this process in durian fruit is still unknow. Notably, the …

Knowledge Attitude And Practice Of Who Mental Health Guidelines For Non-Specialist Primary Healthcare Providers In Wuhua District, Kunming, People's Republic Of China: A Cross-Sectional Study, Liesha Luohe
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Background: The 'Healthy China 2030' policy emphasizes the importance of mental healthcare at the primary healthcare level. Globally, primary healthcare(PHC) service delivery is considered the most effective approach for managing mental health (MH) disorders. The WHO’s mental health gap intervention guide version 2 (mhGAP-IG.v2), is a decision support tool for non-specialists for the assessment, management, and follow-up of mental, neurological, and substance use disorders. However, no studies have assessed primary healthcare providers’ (HCPs) knowledge, attitudes, and practices on MH services in the western part of China. Objectives: To determine the PHC providers’ characteristics and MH service provision level in Wuhua …
