ASEAN Institute for Health DevelopmentBackground: Little is known about the prevalence, predictors and gender differences in hand grip strength of older adults in Africa. This study aims to investigate social and health differences in hand grip strength among older adults in a national probability sample of older South Africans who participated in the Study of Global Ageing and Adults Health (SAGE wave 1) in 2008. Methods: We conducted a national population-based cross-sectional study with a sample of 3840 men and women aged 50 years or older in South Africa. The questionnaire included socio-demographic characteristics, health variables, and anthropometric measurements. Linear multivariate regression analysis was performed to assess the association of social factors, health variables and grip strength. Results: The mean overall hand grip strength was 37.9 kgs for men (mean age 61.1 years, SD = 9.1) and 31.5 kgs for women (mean age 62.0 years, SD = 9.7). In multivariate analysis among men, greater height, not being underweight and lower functional disability was associated with greater grip strength, and among women, greater height, better cognitive functioning, and lower functional disability were associated with greater grip strength. Conclusions: Greater height and lower functional disability were found for both older South African men and women to be significantly associated with grip strength.Publication Open Access ความทุกข์ระดับบุคคลหรือความทุกข์ทางสังคม : การกลายเป็นผู้พิการถาวรจากการทำงานของแรงงานภาคอุตสาหกรรม(2564) วิทยา ไชยดี; ขวัญจิต ศศิวงศาโรจน์; Vithaya Chaidee; Kwanchit Sasiwongsaroj; มหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล. สถาบันวิจัยภาษาและวัฒนธรรมเอเชีย; มหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล. สถาบันวิจัยภาษาและวัฒนธรรมเพื่อพัฒนาชนบทto sustain work injuries as a result of accumulated tiredness. The system of taking care of those affected by work injuries remains under the control of entrepreneurs, which has silenced the workers’ voices and put them in helpless situations.... supervision in this matter has put workers in perilous working environments and made them unaware of workers’ welfare system as well as labor legislation. Moreover, working overtime, which exceeds the legal limit, was a significant factor leading workersPublication Open Access Social capital and health among older adults in South Africa(2013) Ramlagan, Shandir; Peltzer, Karl; Nancy Phaswana-Mafuya; Mahidol University. ASEAN Institute for Health DevelopmentBackground: Little is known about social capital and health among older adults in South Africa. This study investigates the association between social capital and several health variables, namely: self-rated health, depressive symptoms, cognitive functioning and physical inactivity, among older South Africans. Methods: We conducted a national population-based cross-sectional study with a national probability sample of 3840 individuals aged 50 years or older who participated in the Study of Global Ageing and Adults Health (SAGE wave 1) in 2008 in South Africa. Measures included socio-demographic characteristics, health variables, cognitive functioning and physical activity. Social capital was assessed with six components, namely: marital status, social action, sociability, trust and solidarity, safety, and civic engagement. Results: The social capital assessment revealed that 56% of the respondents were married or cohabiting, 45% reported low (0) social action, 42% reported medium (2–3) sociability, 43% reported high (2) trust and solidarity, 50% reported high (2–4) civic engagement and 42% reported medium (6) psychological resources. In multivariate analysis, self-reported good health was associated with younger age, having secondary education and higher social capital (being married or cohabiting, high trust and solidarity and greater psychological resources). Depressive symptoms were associated with lower social capital (not being married or cohabiting, lack of high trust and solidarity and low psychological resources). Better cognitive functioning was associated with younger age, higher educational level, greater wealth and higher social capital (being married or cohabiting, high trust and solidarity, lack of safety, higher civic engagement and greater psychological resources). Physical inactivity was associated with older age and lower social capital (lower social action, lack of safety, lower civic engagement and poorer psychological resources). Conclusions: Given the basis of these findings on cross sectional data and subsequent limitation, it was found that these study findings mimic the findings of many European and American studies. Social capital among the elderly generation in South Africa is imperative for better health.Publication Open Access The comparison of the marginal gaps of zirconia framework luted with different types of phosphate based-resin cements.(2015-09) Wipada Lertrid; วิภาดา เลิศฤทธิ์; Darunee Owitayakul; ดรุณี โอวิทยากุล; Chuchai Anatamana; ชูชัย อนันต์มานะ; Piyapanna Pittayachawan; ปิยพรรณา พิทยชวาล; Piyapanna Pittayachawan; ปิยพรรณา พิทยชวาล; Mahidol University.

Materials and methods: Thirty maxillary premolar teeth were randomly divided into two groups (n=15); a self-etch (Panavia F2.0; Kuraray Medical, Japan) and self-adhesive (Rely X U100; 3MESPE, USA...) resin cements. The teeth were prepared with round shoulder and the 6° convergence angle. The zirconia frameworks were fabricated using TDS® CAD/CAM system (Total Dental Solution, Changhua, Taiwan). The marginal fits of zirconia frameworks were evaluatedPublication Open Access A potential role for interleukin‑33 and γ‑epithelium sodium channel in the pathogenesis of human malaria associated lung injury(2015) Sumate Ampawong; Urai Chaisri; Parnpen Viriyavejakul; Panote Prapansilp; Grau, Georges E; Turner, Gareth D. H.; Emsri Pongponratn; Mahidol University. Faculty of Tropical Medicine. Department of Tropical PathologyBackground: The pathogenesis of pulmonary oedema (PE) in patients with severe malaria is still unclear. It has been hypothesized that lung injury depends, in addition to microvascular obstruction, on an increased pulmonary capillary pressure and altered alveolar-capillary membrane permeability, causing pulmonary fluid accumulation. Methods: This study compared the histopathological features of lung injury in Southeast Asian patients (n = 43) who died from severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria, and correlated these with clinical history in groups with or without PE. To investigate the expression of mediators that may influence fluid accumulation in PE, immunohistochemistry and image analysis were performed on controls and sub-sets of patient with or without PE. Results: The expression of leukocyte sub-set antigens, bronchial interleukin (IL)-33, γ-epithelium sodium channel (ENaC), aquaporin (AQP)-1 and -5, and control cytokeratin staining was quantified in the lung tissue of severe malaria patients. Bronchial IL-33 expression was significantly increased in severe malaria patients with PE. Malaria patients with shock showed significantly increased bronchial IL-33 compare to other clinical manifestations. Bronchial IL-33 levels were positively correlated with CD68+ monocyte and elastase + neutrophil, septal congestion and hyaline membrane formation. Moreover, the expression of both vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) and bronchial γ-ENaC significantly decreased in severe malaria patients with PE. Both VSMC and bronchial γ-ENaC were negatively correlated with the degree of parasitized erythrocyte sequestration, alveolar thickness, alveolar expansion score, septal congestion score, and malarial pigment score. In contrast AQP-1 and -5 and pan cytokeratin levels were similar between groups. Conclusions: The results suggest that IL-33 may play a role in lung injury during severe malaria and lead to PE. Both VSMC and bronchial γ-ENaC downregulation may explain pulmonary fluid disturbances and participate in PE pathogenesis in severe malaria patients.
