Aim: To determine level of bacterial contaminants and antibiotic susceptibility profiles of bacteria isolated from read-to-eat salads (RTES). Study Design: An experimental cross-sectional study was conducted in three localities of Ilala District in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania). Methodology: Twenty-four RTES samples were bought from randomly chosen fast food centers. RTE salads were analyzed at the Pharmaceutical Microbiology Laboratory. The total viable counts (TVC) were determined, and the standard procedures for microbial identification were performed and confirmed by physiological tests. The identified microbial contaminants were subjected to antibiotic sensitivity testing (AST) using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Six widely used antibiotics: amoxicillin (AX25), sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim-(SXT-25), amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (AMC30), gentamicin (CN5), ciprofloxacin (C5), and chloramphenicol (C30) were used for the AST. Results: The TVC of isolated bacterial contaminants ranged from 106 to 108 cfu/g, which was above the acceptable standard limit and unfit for human consumption. Five bacterial species comprised of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella oxytoca were isolated and subjected to the AST.  All bacteria were resistant to AMC30. Escherichia coli was isolated from 10% of the RTES. Association between bio-burden and antibiotic resistance was observed. Conclusion: The RTES harbored contaminant bacteria beyond acceptable limits. The predominant contaminants were P. aeruginosa and E. coli. One-fifth of the samples contained E. coli, indication of poor sanitation. All the isolated bacteria were resistant to AMC30. Prompt measures are required to curb the spread of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms.
目的:确定从即食沙拉(RTES)中分离出的细菌污染物水平和抗生素敏感性特征。 研究设计:在坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆伊拉拉区的三个地方开展了一项横断面实验研究。 研究方法:从随机选择的快餐中心购买了 24 份即食沙拉样本。在制药微生物实验室对即食沙拉进行了分析。测定了总存活计数 (TVC),执行了微生物鉴定的标准程序,并通过生理测试进行了确认。对鉴定出的微生物污染物采用柯比鲍尔盘扩散法进行抗生素敏感性测试(AST)。六种广泛使用的抗生素:阿莫西林(AX25)、磺胺甲恶唑/三甲氧苄啶(SXT-25)、阿莫西林/克拉维酸(AMC30)、庆大霉素(CN5)、环丙沙星(C5)和氯霉素(C30)被用于抗生素药敏试验。 结果分离出的细菌污染物的 TVC 在 106 至 108 cfu/g 之间,超过了可接受的标准限值,不适合人类食用。分离出五种细菌,包括大肠埃希菌、肺炎克雷伯菌、金黄色葡萄球菌、铜绿假单胞菌和氧合克雷伯菌,并进行了 AST 试验。 所有细菌都对 AMC30 具有抗药性。从 10%的 RTES 中分离出了大肠埃希菌。生物负载与抗生素耐药性之间存在关联。 结论:RTES 中的污染细菌超出了可接受的范围。主要污染物是铜绿假单胞菌和大肠杆菌。五分之一的样本含有大肠杆菌,表明卫生条件很差。所有分离出来的细菌都对 AMC30 有抗药性。需要及时采取措施,遏制抗生素耐药微生物的传播。

Aim: Drug Ineffective (DI) reports are Adverse Drug Events (ADE) important for post-marketing surveillance (PMS).  Currently drug safety information from the DI reports received by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) via the Saudi Vigilance System (SVS) is undetermined. The study aims to describe the DI reports received by the SVS from different stakeholders. Methods: DI reports received by the SVS between January 2020 to December 2021 were retrieved and characterized based on patients’ demographics, reporter type and suspected drug type and group in comparison to non-DI reports. Potential determinants of the DI reports were screened to estimate odds ratios (OR) and the 95% confidence intervals (CI) for these reports. Results: The total number of DI reports was 1885.  Adults constituted the major age group (67.6 %), and male gender dominated most DI reports (80.2%) compared to equal percentages of males and females in non-DI reports. Most of the DI reports were reported by pharmacists (68.9%), and the most frequently reported drugs associated with DI and non-DI reports were Metformin (16.3%) and Atorvastatin (5.30%) respectively. Adjustment of potential confounding variables showed that gender (AOR = 2.285, 95% CI = 1.921–2.719) and age (AOR = 1.005, 95% CI = 1.002– 1.007) were significantly associated with the DI reports. Conclusion: DI reports were frequently associated with adult male patients, and were more frequently reported by pharmacists. Most of the DI reports did not indicate the seriousness criteria, and the most frequently reported drug associated with DI reports was Metformin.
目的:药物无效(DI)报告是上市后监测(PMS)的重要药物不良事件(ADE)。 目前,沙特食品药品管理局(SFDA)通过沙特警戒系统(SVS)收到的 DI 报告中的药物安全信息尚未确定。本研究旨在描述 SVS 从不同利益相关方收到的 DI 报告。 方法:对沙特警戒系统在 2020 年 1 月至 2021 年 12 月期间收到的 DI 报告进行检索,并根据患者人口统计学特征、报告人类型、可疑药物类型和组别与非 DI 报告进行比较。筛选出直接诱导报告的潜在决定因素,以估计这些报告的几率比(OR)和 95% 的置信区间(CI)。 结果:DI 报告总数为 1885 份。 成人占主要年龄组(67.6%),男性在大多数 DI 报告中占主导地位(80.2%),而在非 DI 报告中,男性和女性所占比例相同。大多数直接用药报告由药剂师报告(68.9%),与直接用药和非直接用药报告相关的最常见药物分别是二甲双胍(16.3%)和阿托伐他汀(5.30%)。对潜在混杂变量的调整显示,性别(AOR = 2.285,95% CI = 1.921-2.719)和年龄(AOR = 1.005,95% CI = 1.002-1.007)与 DI 报告显著相关。 结论DI报告通常与成年男性患者有关,药剂师报告的频率更高。大多数 DI 报告没有说明严重程度标准,与 DI 报告相关的最常见药物是二甲双胍。

Linagliptin (LIN) is a newly developed dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor oral antidiabetic drug. LIN is considered a P-gp substrate, thus suffers from poor bioavailability (< 30%). The aim of this study was to develop and characterize LIN bioactive self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system to circumvent its poor bioavailability and enhance its therapeutic efficacy. Methodology: In this study, we developed solid supersaturated bioactive self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (Ss-bio-SNEDDS) of LIN, using clove oil as an oil phase, cremophor CO 40 as a surfactant, labrasol as a co-surfactant and Hydroxy-propyl-B-cyclodextrin (HPBCD) as a precipitation inhibitor (PI); all components are of established P-gp inhibition activity. Optimization was performed by means of triangular mixture design based on particle size, poly dispersity index (PDI) and percent transmittance. The two optimized formulations (F4 and F8) were designated and evaluated for stability and cloud point. Also, the effect of pH on particle size and PDI was assessed. Additionally, examination of particles’ surface morphology of the two optimized formulations was performed by transmission electron microscope (TEM). The prepared liquid supersaturated-SNEDDS (s-SNEDDS) were converted into solid supersaturated-SNEDDS (Ss-SNEDDS) via adsorption on microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). Further evaluations were carried out, including in vitro drug release, in vitro precipitation and in vivo studies. Results: The optimized formulations F4 and F8 manifested promising characteristics concerning particle size (< 50 nm), PDI (< 0.3) and percent transmittance (> 99%). Stability study showed no phase separation or precipitation with rapid emulsification time. The two optimized formulations showed high cloud point temperature (above 70°C). TEM images of F4 and F8 showed spheroid like appearance with relatively smooth surface. Results of the in vivo study in rats revealed a significant increase in AUC of solid-F4, solid-F8 and solid supersaturated-F4 (S-F4, S-F8 and Ss-F4) by 2.32, 2.89 and 2.54 folds, respectively compared to LIN solution; with a noticeable reduction in blood glucose level at each point. Conclusion: In a nutshell, Ss-bio-SNEDDS are considered as auspicious nano-carriers for LIN with the virtue of augmented bioavailability and possible dose reduction.
利拉利汀(LIN)是一种新开发的二肽基肽酶 4(DPP-4)抑制剂口服抗糖尿病药物。LIN 被认为是 P-gp 底物,因此生物利用度较低(< 30%)。本研究旨在开发和表征 LIN 生物活性自纳米乳化给药系统,以规避其生物利用度差的问题并提高其疗效。 研究方法本研究以丁香油为油相、cremophor CO 40 为表面活性剂、labrasol 为助表面活性剂、羟丙基-B-环糊精(HPBCD)为沉淀抑制剂(PI),开发了 LIN 的固体过饱和生物活性自纳米乳化给药系统(Ss-bio-SNEDDS);所有成分均具有公认的 P-gp 抑制活性。根据粒度、聚分散指数(PDI)和透光率百分比,采用三角混合物设计法进行了优化。指定了两种优化配方(F4 和 F8),并对其稳定性和浊点进行了评估。此外,还评估了 pH 值对粒度和 PDI 的影响。此外,还利用透射电子显微镜(TEM)对两种优化配方的颗粒表面形态进行了检测。制备的液体过饱和-SNEDDS(s-SNEDDS)通过吸附在微晶纤维素(MCC)上转化为固体过饱和-SNEDDS(Ss-SNEDDS)。进一步的评估包括体外药物释放、体外沉淀和体内研究。 结果:优化配方 F4 和 F8 在粒度(< 50 nm)、PDI(< 0.3)和透光率(> 99%)方面表现出良好的特性。稳定性研究表明,在快速乳化时间内没有出现相分离或沉淀。两种优化配方的浊点温度较高(高于 70°C)。F4 和 F8 的 TEM 图像显示其外观呈球状,表面相对光滑。大鼠体内研究结果显示,与 LIN 溶液相比,固体-F4、固体-F8 和固体过饱和-F4(S-F4、S-F8 和 Ss-F4)的 AUC 分别显著增加了 2.32、2.89 和 2.54 倍;各点的血糖水平均明显下降。 结论总而言之,Ss-生物-SNEDDS 被认为是 LIN 的理想纳米载体,具有提高生物利用度和减少剂量的优点。

LIN is considered a P-gp substrate, thus suffers from poor bioavailability (< 30%). The aim of this study was to develop and characterize LIN bioactive self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system to circumvent its poor bioavailability and enhance its therapeutic efficacy. Methodology: In this study, we developed solid supersaturated bioactive self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (Ss-bio-SNEDDS) of LIN, using clove oil as an oil phase, cremophor CO 40 as a surfactant, labrasol as a co-surfactant and Hydroxy-propyl-B-cyclodextrin (HPBCD) as a precipitation inhibitor (PI); all components are of established P-gp inhibition activity. Optimization was performed by means of triangular mixture design based on particle size, poly dispersity index (PDI) and percent transmittance. The two optimized formulations (F4 and F8) were designated and evaluated for stability and cloud point. Also, the effect of pH on particle size and PDI was assessed. Additionally, examination of particles’ surface morphology of the two optimized formulations was performed by transmission electron microscope (TEM). The prepared liquid supersaturated-SNEDDS (s-SNEDDS) were converted into solid supersaturated-SNEDDS (Ss-SNEDDS) via adsorption on microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). Further evaluations were carried out, including in vitro drug release, in vitro precipitation and in vivo studies. Results: The optimized formulations F4 and F8 manifested promising characteristics concerning particle size (< 50 nm), PDI (< 0.3) and percent transmittance (> 99%). Stability study showed no phase separation or precipitation with rapid emulsification time. The two optimized formulations showed high cloud point temperature (above 70°C). TEM images of F4 and F8 showed spheroid like appearance with relatively smooth surface.

Aims: This study aims to examine the relationship between job burnout and practical performance among nursing staff in the Eradah Complex in Jeddah Region. Study Design:  A cross-sectional study design. Place and Duration of Study: Registered nurses for this research were randomly selected, and the data were collected for one year, starting from August 2022 till July 2023. Methodology: Data in this study were collected through the administration of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) as a standard inventory tool which was used to measure job burnout. as well as self-report questionnaire was used to measure practical performance. Questionnaires developed through MBI scale and self report survey forms were distributed among the participants to collect the data. Data reliability and statistical analyses using appropriate tests were done using the SPSS version 25.0 program. Results: This study involved 219 registered nurses as participants from different age groups with a mean age of 37.23±11.23 years old and a predominantly male gender (72%); in this study,  these study results showed that there was a significant difference between factors affecting nurses' job performance and feeling stressed and their monthly income (P-value 0.027), while there was no significant difference between age, gender, marital status, education level, job title, and experience years and actors affecting nurses' job performance and feeling stressed. Conclusion: The existing evidence indicates that occupational fatigue might detrimentally affect practical performance. Job burnout can have a detrimental effect on practical performance as it can result in a decline in motivation and focus. A further manner in which job burnout can influence practical performance is through the manifestation of emotional tiredness. Nurses who are encountering job burnout may experience emotional exhaustion and a sense of being overwhelmed. This phenomenon has the potential to result in insufficiencies in personnel, hence exacerbating job burnout and diminishing practical performance.
研究目的:本研究旨在探讨吉达地区伊拉达综合医院护理人员的工作倦怠与实际绩效之间的关系。 研究设计: 横断面研究设计。 研究地点和时间:随机抽取参与本研究的注册护士,从 2022 年 8 月至 2023 年 7 月收集数据,为期一年。 研究方法:本研究通过使用马斯拉赫职业倦怠量表(Maslach Burnout Inventory,MBI)这一标准量表工具收集数据,该量表用于测量工作倦怠。通过马斯拉奇工作倦怠量表和自我报告调查表编制的问卷在参与者中分发,以收集数据。使用 SPSS 25.0 版程序对数据的可靠性和统计分析进行了适当的检验。 研究结果本研究涉及 219 名不同年龄段的注册护士,平均年龄为(37.23±11.23)岁,性别以男性为主(72%);研究结果表明,影响护士工作表现和压力感的因素与月收入之间存在显著差异(P 值为 0.027),而年龄、性别、婚姻状况、教育程度、职称、工作年限与影响护士工作表现和压力感的因素之间无显著差异。 结论现有证据表明,职业倦怠可能会对实际工作表现产生不利影响。工作倦怠会对实际绩效产生不利影响,因为它会导致工作动力和专注度下降。工作倦怠影响实际表现的另一种方式是情绪疲惫的表现。遭遇工作倦怠的护士可能会出现情绪疲惫和不知所措的感觉。这种现象有可能导致人员不足,从而加剧工作倦怠,降低实际绩效。

The cerebral cortex is the outermost layer of the cerebrum and plays a critical role in various cognitive, sensory and motor functions. It is highly folded and has distinct regions responsible for different functions. Leachate refers to the liquid that forms when water percolates through waste materials, such as landfills and dumpsite picking up various organic and inorganic compounds along the way. It is a complex mixture of chemicals, including heavy metals, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and other potentially harmful substances. Eliozu dumpsite is one of the biggest dumpsite in Port Harcourt metropolis. It receives deposits of both domestic and industrial wastes from Port Harcourt, these wastes are dumped untreated, and thus may pose serious environmental risks to inhabitants in the area. The present study focuses on the assessment of the cytomorphology of the cerebral cortex exposed to Eliozu dumpsite leachate using Wistar rats as model. Twenty five (25) male Wistar rats were divided into five groups of five animals each; the leachate was collected from the dumpsite and water from near-by borehole also collected. Group 1 which served as control group received 1ml of commercial bottle water, group 2 received 1ml of borehole water 1kilometer from the dumpsite, groups 3, 4 and 5 received different concentration of the leachate in 10%, 50% and 100% for ninety days, the animals were sacrificed after being anesthetized with chloroform vapor, the brains were collected and put in 10% formaldehyde, sectioned and stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E), special stain Gorgon and Sweet for histopathological studies. The slides were placed in a light microscope and analyzed by a consultant Anatomy pathologist. The results revealed that the Eliozu dumpsite leachate does have deleterious effect on the cytomorphology of the cerebral cortex. Eliozu dumpsite leachate has shown deleterious effect on cerebral cortex which is an indication of toxicity that may cause brain death to the experimental animals. Therefore, it is recommended that continued research, education and public awareness are essential to promote sustainable waste management practices and safeguard the integrity of the cerebral cortex.
大脑皮层是大脑的最外层,在各种认知、感觉和运动功能中起着至关重要的作用。大脑皮层高度褶皱,有不同的区域负责不同的功能。渗滤液是指水渗过垃圾填埋场和垃圾堆放场等废物时形成的液体,沿途会析出各种有机和无机化合物。它是一种复杂的化学混合物,包括重金属、挥发性有机化合物 (VOC) 和其他潜在的有害物质。Eliozu 垃圾场是哈科特港最大的垃圾场之一。它接收来自哈科特港的生活垃圾和工业垃圾,这些垃圾未经处理就被倾倒,因此可能对该地区的居民造成严重的环境风险。本研究的重点是以 Wistar 大鼠为模型,评估暴露在 Eliozu 垃圾场沥滤液中的大脑皮层的细胞形态学。25 只雄性 Wistar 大鼠被分为五组,每组五只;沥滤液从垃圾场收集,水也从附近的井眼收集。作为对照组的第 1 组接受 1 毫升商用瓶装水,第 2 组接受 1 毫升距垃圾倾倒场 1 公里处的井水,第 3、4 和 5 组接受浓度分别为 10%、50% 和 100%的沥滤液,持续九十天,用氯仿蒸气麻醉后将动物处死,收集大脑并放入 10%甲醛中,切片并用血红素和伊红(H&E)染色,用特殊染色剂 Gorgon 和 Sweet 进行组织病理学研究。切片放在光学显微镜下,由解剖病理学家顾问进行分析。结果显示,Eliozu 垃圾场沥滤液确实对大脑皮层的细胞形态产生了有害影响。Eliozu 垃圾场沥滤液对大脑皮层产生了有害影响,这表明其毒性可能会导致实验动物脑死亡。因此,建议继续开展研究、教育和提高公众认识,这对促进可持续废物管理做法和保护大脑皮层的完整性至关重要。
