About the Effect of Ethanol (Ethylalcohol) on the Restoration of X-rays Injury

The result of the experiment which ethylalcohol affect on the X-rays injury advantageously reported by M. Yamamoto who is our co-worker at the same time ago, and we attempted to this experiment that whether ethylalcohol affect on the restoration of X-rays injury usefully or not, and this experiment carried out on 3 groups as following: 1) A group of mice in wich ethylalcohol was not used, 2) B group of mice in which ethylalcohol was used only for irradiated period with 100r×10, 3) C group of mice in which ethylalcohol was used not only for irradiated period with 100r×10, but for 15 days, 30 days after the irradiated with 100r×10, and we found out following results in this experiment. In this case there were more histological restorating figures of spleen, liver injuries than in the case of mice in which ethylalcohol was not used

Green odor attenuates a cold pressor test-induced cardiovascular response in healthy adults

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Green odor, a mixture of equal amounts of 2<it>E</it>-hexenal (leaf aldehyde) and 3Z-hexenol (leaf alcohol) has been demonstrated to have an anti-stress effect in rats. This study investigated whether or not green odor also has an anti-stress effect in humans.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and the skin temperature of a fingertip were observed after presenting green odor at a concentration of 0.03% or vehicle via inhalation through the nose for 10 min to eight healthy normotensive adults. We also assessed the pleasantness of green odor and its effect on mood states via assessment with the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire. Cardiovascular response to green odor and the vehicle were compared among 11 additional healthy adults by use of the cold pressor test.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Of 19 subjects, 15 (79%) reported that the green odor was pleasant. Green odor had no effect on blood pressure, heart rate, skin temperature, or POMS score under non-stressful conditions. In the second experiment, green odor attenuated cold pressor test-induced increases in systolic and diastolic blood pressure and facilitated the recovery of skin temperature.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>These findings suggest that green odor has an anti-stress effect in healthy humans.</p

Regulation of nursing professionals in Cambodia: Strategies to overcome underpinning challenges

Aims: To elucidate i) the challenges and constraints in the development and implementation of the regulatory framework for nursing professionals in Cambodia, and ii) the specific strategies adopted to address the challenges experienced in Cambodia.Introduction: The health workforce will be critical to achieving the health-related and wider Sustainable Development Goals in the years up to 2030. Background: In 2006, the countries of the Association of Southeast Asia Nations signed a Mutual Recognition Arrangement in relation to nursing services in the region with the main aim of facilitating the mobility of nursing professionals between countries. To ensure the competency of the health workforce and the quality and safety of health services, member states are required to establish an appropriate regulatory framework. Methods: This is a descriptive qualitative study. Eighteen key informant interviews were conducted in Cambodia in 2018. Walt & Gilson’s policy analysis model was applied to organise and synthesise the data. Findings: Major challenges were identified such as conceptual and cultural issues, limited capacity of Cambodian stakeholders, and an unstandardized system with limited coordination. Discussion: In Cambodia, the nursing regulatory environment has expanded greatly over the last decade. Strategies adopted were “political leadership”, optimal utilization of “outsider’s capacity”, strengthening “insider’s capacity”, and “dedicated consultation and collaboration and consensus building” involving all players. Implications for nursing and health policies: Policy makers in similar resource-limited countries could apply and adapt similar strategic efforts when formulating and implementing health policies, legislation and regulations. “Outsiders”, in this case, represented by development partners can play a vital role in the process, but should not be leading the charge. They should be aligned with national priority to support recipient countries. It is imperative for these countries and development partners to invest in increasing the quantity and quality of nursing leaders who can develop and advance regulatory functions

On the Effect of Catalytic Function of Liver-amylase Jrradiated with X-rays

The various metabolism are carried out in living cells and the relevance of enzyme research is based upon the idea that the chemical reactions that occur in living cells from the core of life itself. But the biochemical metabolism is affected by X-rays irradiation, and so we think that X-rays irradiation effect upon the catalytic function of the enzyme, and we experimented whether X-rays irradiation effect on the catalytic function of Amylase in cells of liver which is extracted without bacilli, or not. And then we find out that the irradiation with 60r rised the catalytic function of Amylase the irradiation with 200r, 400r repressed the catalytic function of Amylase
