    Working on outdoor farms affects elderly farmers’ health, especially those who have chronic diseases. This study aims to identify the risk factors related to perceived hot conditions on outdoor farms among elderly Thai farmers aged 60 years and older with chronic diseases. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 352 elderly farmers in nine sub-districts of Nong Suea District, Pathum Thani Province, Thailand via convenience sampling. Questionnaires were used as instruments to gather data about demographic and working factors. The risk factors associated with elderly Thai farmers’ perceptions of hot conditions on outdoor farms were identified by using binary logistic regression. The most common chronic illnesses were hypertension (35.8%), heart disease (34.4%), and diabetes mellitus (24.5%). More than 60.5% of the participants perceived their hot conditions to be high. The results of binary logistic regression show that low income and work duration ≤8.0 hours per day were risk factors related to perceived hot conditions on outdoor farms (P value < 0.05). These findings may be used by relevant authorities to support elderly farmers by emphasizing the importance of individual and work-related factors. Relevant government agencies should consider formulating working standards in hot conditions specifically for elderly farm workers.

    Lipids including fatty acids (FAs), which are water-insoluble molecules, are not only a cellular energy source but also signaling molecules that induce and modulate the expression of various cellular functions. Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABP) bind FAs in the cytoplasm, and are thought to determine the cellular localization of FAs. In a previous observation, FABP5 was expressed in thymic epithelial cells (TEC) in the thymus and was influenced by FAs. Fatty acids have mostly inhibitory effects on various cell types, including cancer cells, but their effects on TEC have not been well investigated. In this study, we investigated the effects of long-chain FAs (LCFAs) and the involvement of FABP5 in cell proliferation using a serum-free primary culture system. The results showed that saturated fatty acids did not affect proliferation, but n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated FA (LCPUFA) reduced, n-6 LCPUFA increased, and retinoic acid strongly reduced the percentage of proliferating wild-type TEC. The proliferation of FABP5-KO TEC was more significantly affected by LCPUFA, suggesting that FABP5 is an important modulator of FA-mediated TEC proliferation. These observations may provide a basis for exploring the properties of TEC.

    Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) has been used as a model to mimic nocturnal apnea, which is associated with hypertension. One of the mechanisms for hypertension in patients with nocturnal apnea is an enhancement of the plasma membrane response to acute hypoxia in carotid body glomus cells. Hypoxia is known to induce depolarization via inhibiting TWIK-related acid-sensitive K+ (TASK) channels, one type of leak K+ channels, in glomus cells. The present experiment was undertaken to immunocytochemically investigate the effects of CIH on the expression and intracellular localization of TASK1 channels and p11 that critically affect the trafficking of TASK1 to the cell surface. The expression levels of TASK1 proteins and p11 and their intracellular localization in rat carotid body glomus cells were not noticeably affected by CIH, suggesting that the enhanced membrane response to acute hypoxia is not due to an increase in surface TASK channels.

    Patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) are prone to loss of motor skills due to urinary protein leakage, steroid myopathy, and other factors. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication that contributes to the loss of physical function. Rehabilitation is crucial, but its efficacy and safety are unknown. Here we present a case of a patient with MCNS complicated by AKI, who commenced rehabilitation after dialysis was discontinued and experienced improved mobility. The patient, a woman in her 70s, was admitted to our hospital with bilateral lower limb edema and decreased urine output for approximately 5 days. Treatment with prednisolone and furosemide was initiated, but then dialysis was initiated due to AKI. Rehabilitation was started after dialysis was discontinued. The patient’s muscle strength and physical activity improved, and her exercise capacity and exercise tolerance improved without adverse effects. Rehabilitation may contribute to the improvement of exercise capacity without worsening renal function and urinary protein in patients with MCNS complicated by AKI.

    Giant cell tumor is a highly aggressive tumor characterized by a marked proliferation of pleomorphic, bizarre giant cells usually observed in the lungs. The importance of histopathological imaging and the clinical course of this tumor are unknown. The objective of our report was to investigate whether these components affect treatment outcomes and prognosis compared to conventional cancers. A 40-year-old woman with cervical cancer showed leukocytosis and elevated granulocyte colony simulating factor (G-CSF). The patient underwent a radical abdominal hysterectomy. Pathology revealed a poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, similar to giant cell carcinoma. The patient recovered from the disease and is alive 37 months after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Leukocytosis and G-CSF were normalized after treatment. This was our second case of giant cell carcinoma of the cervix. Cumulative data on giant cell carcinoma are limited, thus we considered the prognostic significance of the presence of giant cell carcinoma in uterine carcinoma.

    We investigated the probability of measuring the odor of thirdhand smoke using four odor-measuring monitors and three gas detector tubes. We measured the changes in tobacco odor on paper towels and cloth products over time. The results of the measurements were plotted against time to obtain an exponential approximation curve. The coefficient of x and the R2 values were calculated from this curve. The odor indicated by four types of odor-measuring monitors and three types of gas detector tubes decreased exponentially over time. The curves obtained from all measuring devices had coefficients of ex between -0.001 and -0.021, and R2 values of >0.8. The reproducibility of measuring relative odor levels through all measuring devices was high, suggesting a good capability of measuring thirdhand smoke odor. Two different odor-level standard gases can be used for the calibration of the regression curve for each monitor.

    Although surgical resection is the only available treatment to achieve long-term survival in biliary tract cancer, many cases are often identified at an advanced stage at the time of diagnosis. Radiotherapy may be an alternative option to prolong survival in cases with locally advanced unresectable disease. While there are some reports of long-term survival after radiotherapy for unresectable biliary tract cancer, it is rare that clinical symptoms are exhibited by peritoneal dissemination more than 8 years after radiotherapy and that resection can be performed. Our case was a 55-year-old female who had visited with a complaint of jaundice and was diagnosed with primary unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma. She received definitve chemoradiotherapy, and repeated receiving maintenance chemotherapy thereafter until clinical manifestation. During follow-up, she was diagnosed with stenosis of the sigmoid colon, which was attributed to peritoneal dissemination of cholangiocarcinoma. We herein report a rare case of primary unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma after chemoradiotherapy which was followed by chemotherapy that was controlled for more than 8 years but eventually caused colonic obstruction attributed to peritoneal dissemination.

    Pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) as classified in the World Health Organization (WHO) 2010 was reclassified in the WHO 2017 as either neuroendocrine tumor (NET) G3 or NEC. An accurate diagnosis based on the WHO 2017 classification is important in order treating this disease appropriately. We report a case diagnosed as NET G3 that responded remarkably well to treatment with streptozocin. The patient would likely not have received the streptozocin treatment if she had been diagnosed with NEC. The WHO 2017 classification is reasonable for the treatment of advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms.
