A total of 69 heels were included as participants in this study. The measurement items were age, height, weight, rohrer index, heel fat pad thickness and flexibility. The heel fat pad thickness and flexibility was measured using an ultrasound probe and S oftgram (Shinko Denshi co.,ltd.). The heel fat pad thickness measurements were distance from the skin to the calcaneus was measured by applying the ultrasound probe both without (hereafter referred to as \"non-pressure thickness\") and with manually applied pressure to the measurement point (hereafter referred to as “pressure thickness”) . The heel fat pad flexibility evaluation consisted of subtracting non-pressure thickness by pressure thickness (thickness of change difference), and computing for the value when the thickness of change difference is divided by the non-pressure thickness and multiplied by 100 (thickness of change rate). In addition to this, heel fat pad flexibility evaluation consisted of measuring using the softness sensor Softgram. Multiple regression analysis showed that weight and age were predictors of non-pressure thickness. On the other hand, pressure thickness was weight was a predictor of pressure thickness. In the relationship between heel fat pad flexibility and demographic data, the Softgram measurements showed a significantly fair correlation with age and significantly moderate correlations with height and weight. Multiple regression analysis further showed that body weight was a predictor of Softgram measurements. This results suggest that heel fat pad thickness and flexibility in elementary and junior high school students became thicker and stiffer, respectively, with increasing age, height and weight. Notably, both thickness and flexibility were particularly related to body weight.","PeriodicalId":73052,"journal":{"name":"Fortune journal of health sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69347690","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}

While the precise pathogenesis of IBD remains unknown, the production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines play a central role. We have previously found that N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), a widely used non-toxic drug excipient, suppresses cytokine and chemokine secretion <i>in vitro</i> and prevents inflammation-induced preterm birth <i>in vivo</i>. Using sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), we tested whether DMA attenuates cytokine and chemokine secretion from LPS- or TNFα-stimulated human intestinal epithelial cells and human monocytes and HMGB1 release from RAW 264.7 cells. To test our hypothesis that the mechanism of DMA's effects in <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> models of IBD is inhibition of the NF-κB pathway, we used western blotting to track levels of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) inhibitory molecule I kappa B alpha (IκBα) in THP-1 human monocytes in the absence or presence of DMA. Finally, we induced colitis in C57Bl/6 mice with dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) and then tested whether i.p injections of DMA at 2.1 g/kg/day attenuates clinical and histopathologic signs of colitis. DMA attenuated cytokine and chemokine release from human intestinal epithelial cells and human monocytes and HMGB1 release from RAW 264.7 cells. Importantly, DMA prevented degradation of IκBα in THP-1 cells, thereby suggesting one mechanism for DMA's effects. Finally, we show here, for the first time, that DMA attenuates clinical and histologic features of DSS-induced colitis. Based on these data, DMA should be further explored in preclinical and clinical trials for its potential as novel drug therapy for IBD.</p>","PeriodicalId":73052,"journal":{"name":"Fortune journal of health sciences","volume":"5 ","pages":"499-509"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10602017/pdf/nihms-1888578.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54232714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 159 case samples were included following selection criteria. Data regarding socio-demographic characteristics, detailed antenatal history and different factors of institutional delivery were collected accordingly. All data were collected by face to face interview. The mean±SD age of the study subjects was 28.4±7.2 years and ranged was 18-38 years. It was observed that, majority (78.7%) of the respondents was at 20-30 years age range and maximum (56.6%) was house wife. Most (37.7%) of them had secondary level education. Their husband (40.3%) and mother in low (40.3%) were equally predominant as decision maker of the family. Majority (61.6%) of the respondents was came from lower economic class and most (63.5%) of them was living in a nuclear family.

Abstract Objectives A novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was identified in Wuhan , China , which quickly involved majority of the countries all around the world. Due to the high rate of mortality and morbidity, needless to say the importance of accurate and early diagnosis, especially in suspected and asymptomatic cases. Hence, in this article, authors tried to provide practical and standardized diagnostic approaches for cases suspected with COVID-19 infection. Data of this review study were collected from 7 search engine/databases, commencing from December 2019 to June 2021 by using 6 keywords according to Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms and our inclusion/exclusion criteria. Result Due to various clinical manifestations of COVID-19, and high potential for mutagenicity, identification of suspected patients is of great importance for effective control of infection, and improvement of clinical decisions. Therefore, medical history of the patients, clinical signs and symptoms, chest computational tomography, serological and molecular diagnosis can be effective in faster identification of mentioned patients. In spite of the fact that molecular tests have been considered as the gold standard for diagnosis of COVID-19, but there is still high rate of false-negativity. Then, combinative usage of the complementary tests can reduce any misinterpretations for suspected cases. Screening for suspected cases in the shortest possible turnaround time is dependent on the appropriate diagnostic approaches. Subsequently, this allows physicians immediately provide proper medical interventions for suspected patients who are at greater risk for developing more serious complications than COVID-19 like severe nosocomial infections.","PeriodicalId":73052,"journal":{"name":"Fortune journal of health sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69347003","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}
