However, the shrinkage at the bottom of denture is most important to fit the tooth properly. If the fitness isn’t close enough, the bacterial will get into aperture easily to make the teeth being decayed again. It will make the teeth to be removed completely. In this paper, the cross section of the denture is measured and compared through the 3D printing and sintered to study the fit on the standard mold. The shrinkage rates are then obtained along different directions. The results can be applied to amplify the model of denture for the 3D printing to make the denture more close to the mold.

To prevent lower back pain, the relationship between lumbar loads and external loads from patient weight should be investigated to explore the hazardous limits of external loads during patient transfer. However, this investigation requires frequent trials and heavier loads than the hazardous limit. Therefore, we have used a computational musculoskeletal simulation for patient handling without the actual measured load data of human subjects. A previous study used a musculoskeletal simulation of sit-to-stand assistance motion; however, this simulation did not consider twisting and lowering patient transfer. Hence, this study aims to investigate the relationship between lumbar loads and external loads during patient transfer, including twisting and lowering. The musculoskeletal simulation for this investigation was implemented using the 3D Static Strength Prediction Program. First, the implemented musculoskeletal simulation was validated by comparison with related research using actual measured motion data and an optical motion capture system. Furthermore, the relationship between lumbar loads (compressive and shear forces of L5/S1) and external loads during patient transfer was investigated using a validated musculoskeletal simulation. According to the results, the compressive and shear forces of L5/S1 during patient transfer exceeded the limits of safety when the external load was more than 40 kgf. These findings will contribute to the prevention of lower back pain due to patient transfer.","PeriodicalId":281523,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharma Medicine and Biological Sciences","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132189758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a preliminary stage to our study, we trapped cells using optical tweezers at 980nm laser and Ar laser and showed manipulation data of polymer microspheres and yeast cells. Furthermore we calculated trapping power and trapping efficiency from the results of manipulation data. In the next stage, we focused on activity evaluation method using Dielectrophoresis (DEP) as estimating yeast cells damage. We trapped yeast cells by optical tweezers at 980nm laser and Ar laser and observed the movement of cells while changing the time of irradiation. We set the initial value to voltage of 1V and frequency of 500kHz and applied such parameter settings to the electrode by function generator(KENWOOD, FG-281).

Methods: This prospective cohort study was perform in Haji General Hospital Surabaya since June until August 2015 on 17 diabetic foot ulcer inpatients age ≥20 years old. Suitability of empiric antibiotic was compared to hospital standard procedure and suitability of definitif antibiotic was compared to the result of microbial culture and sensitivity test of each patient. Result: The relationship between suitability of empiric antibiotics and other factors influence for wound improvement could not be analized by inferential statistic because of limited data variation.The relationship between suitability and efficacy of definitive antibiotics to wound improvement was not significant (13,1%, p=0,585).

Mutated Ras gene causes cell proliferation. These genes are found in various kinds of cancer, thus it has been considered that mutated Ras is oncogenic. Ras oncogenes have three isoforms, which are K-Ras, N-Ras and H-Ras. For three decades, there has been active research on Ras gene, but quantitative analysis on each isoform is unknown. For the research, our goal is to compare and contrast each Ras isoform for deeper understanding. We seek for any possibilities of relations between the results and functional role of each isoform by using two types of data-mining technologies; Decision tree and Support Vector Machine. The results show that all three Ras isoforms are fairly alike, especially in the case of K-Ras and N-Ras. Decision tree shows that position 2, 3, 9, 10 act as significant parts in each Ras Isoform. We want to point out that this is the first time to conduct quantitative classification of Ras Isoforms.
