Factors Affecting Infection Control Measures Performed By Dental Workers, Sam Li-Sheng Chen, Hsin-Chung Cheng, Yu-Chun Yen, Amy Ming-Fang Yen

Journal of Dental Sciences

Abstract Background/purpose An understanding of self-protection related factors is important for dental infection control. This study aimed to investigate factors associated with personal self-protection in infection control among dental care workers. Materials and methods A cross-sectional survey with self-report questionnaire was conducted between Jan and Dec, 2018.275 dentists and 298 dental assistants were enrolled from randomly selected dental care settings. Results Compliance with wearing hair caps, facial masks, and hand washing is not as high as oral masks and gloves (over 90%). For dentists, the level of clinical setting (aOR = 3.1, P < 0.001) and the correct use of disinfectants for impression materials (aOR = 2.0, P < 0.05) were associated with hair cap wearing. Gender (aOR = 0.15, P < 0.05) and correct use of indicator during sterilization (aOR = 2.9, P < 0.05) were associated with facial mask wearing. The correct use of indicator during sterilization (aOR = 2.4, P < 0.05) and disinfection for impression materials (aOR = 2.2, P < 0.05) were associated with hand washing. For dental assistants, longer work experience (aOR = 1.05, P < 0.05), working days (aOR = 1.82, P < 0.05), the correct use of disinfectants for impression materials (aOR = 2.4, P < 0.001), and the frequent use of gloves (aOR = 8.0, P < 0.05) were associated with facial mask wearing. The surface disinfection of working tables (aOR = 2.8, P < 0.001) and the frequent changing of gloves (aOR = 5.96, P < 0.05) were associated with hand washing. Conclusion Gender, the length of work practice, and correct techniques for sterilization use were identified as major factors associated with compliance with self-protection in infection control among dental care workers.

Journal of Dental Sciences

Abstract Background/purpose Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. A growing evidence suggests that hyperglycemia in DM causes a pre-aging and pro-inflammatory condition known as inflammaging, which increases periodontitis susceptibility. Bromelain has been demonstrated to have anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties in variety of tissues, but its effects on diabetic periodontitis remain unclear. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the its Bromelain's impact in diabetic periodontitis in terms of inflammation and senescence activity. Materials and methods We assessed the wound healing capacity, production of pro-inflammatory cytokines Interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 and …

Journal of Dental Sciences

Abstract Background/purpose Increasing evidence suggests that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Th1/Th2-related cytokine genes correlated with oral lichen planus (OLP) susceptibility. However, these results were inconsistent and inconclusive. Hence, the aim of this study is to draw a more precise estimation of the genetic associations between SNPs in 6 cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-18, TGFβ1, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4) and OLP. Materials and methods A systematic literature search was conducted to identify all eligible case–control studies on the association between SNPs in 6 cytokines and OLP susceptibility. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from each study were pooled to estimate the strength …

Mir-146a Participates In The Regulation Of Cancer Stemness Of Oral Carcinoma Cells, Yen-Tze Liu, Cheng-Chia Yu, Ming-Yi Lu, Shih-Chi Chao, Yi-Wen Liao, Chuan-Hang Yu, Yu-Hsien Lee

Journal of Dental Sciences

Abstract Background/purpose Increasing evidence regarded the existence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) as a leading cause of therapy failure and tumor relapse due to their self-renewal and differentiation abilities. Although ectopic overexpression of micro-RNAs (miRNAs) can modulate the cancer stemness and tumor development in oral cancer, their molecular mechanism is still unclear. Therefore, in the present study, we attempt to uncover the role of miR-146a in the maintenance of oral CSCs. Materials and methods The expression of miR-146a was determined using qRT-PCR analysis. Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) enzymic activity and sphere formation assays were used to evaluate the cancer stemness and …

Graphical Revamping Of A Crude Distillation Unit Under Two Variable Operational Scenarios - Naphtha Stabilizer And Reformer Operated, Amany G. Abo-Mousa, Dina A. Kamel, Hany A. Elazab, Mamdouh A. Gadalla, Mai K. Fouad

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Energy costs represent significant parts of the total operating costs of crude refining industries. Energy integration is a typical solution to reduce heating and cooling utilities in crude refining plants through maximizing the target temperature of crude oil streams before entering the furnace. Over the past few decades, a significant progress has been made in energy integration methods including Pinch technology and mathematical programming approaches. Example of these is a graphical technique which plots Thot versus Tcold for energy analysis and revamping studies. The current research employs the Thot - Tcold diagrams in an algorithm to retrofit an existing crude …

Waste Cooking Oil Management In Egypt: Production Of Biodiesel-Development Of Rapid Test Method, Marwa Mohamed, Nourhan Sherif, Omar Aboelazayem, Hany A. Elazab, Mamdouh Gadalla, Basudeb Saha

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

According to the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC) report in 2017, Egypt produced 500,000 tonnes of WCO from various resources including food industries, restaurants and hotels. Based on our previous funded project, we have reported unique properties for Egyptian WCO as it has very high range acidity (≈18 mg KOH/ g oil) due to the extensive usage of oil in the cooking process. Further, the repeated heating of cooking oil for long time produces carcinogenic compounds that have significant impact on people health. On the other hand, high acidity WCO could be valorised into soap, biodiesel and value …
