| 1 | An experimental study on thermal characteristics of nanofluid with graphene and multi-wall carbon nanotubes显示文摘High-thermal conductivity enhancement of nanofluid is one of the promising topics of the nanoscience research field. This work reports the experimental study on the preparation of graphene(GN) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs) based nanofluids with the assistance of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate(SDBS) and sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) surfactants, and their thermal behaviors. The present work suggests not a solution, but a solution approach and deduces a new conclusion by trying to resolve the agglomeration problem and improve the dispersibility of nanoparticles in the base fluid. The analysis results of FESEM, thermal conductivity, diffusivity, effusivity and heat transfer coefficient enhancement ratio of nanofluid with surfactants SDS and SDBS expose strong evidence of the dispersing effect of surfactant on the making of nanofluid. | A.K.M Mahmudul Haque Sunghyun Kwon Junhyo Kim Jungpil Noh Sunchul Huh Hanshik Chung Hyomin Jeong | 2015 | Journal of Central South University2015，22，8： | 5 |
| 5 | Using focused pharmacovigilance for ensuring patient safety against antileishmanial drugs in Bangladesh’s National Kala-azar Elimination Programme显示文摘Background:Adverse effects of antileishmanial drugs can affect patients’quality of life and adherence to therapy for visceral leishmaniasis(VL)and post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis(PKDL).In Bangladesh,there are 26 treatment centers that manage leishmaniasis cases coming from 100 endemic upazilas(subdistricts)of 26 districts(these include VL,PKDL,treatment failure,and relapse VL and cutaneous leishmaniasis cases).This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using focused pharmacovigilance for VL(VLPV)in Bangladesh’s National Kala-azar Elimination Programme for the early detection and prevention of expected and unexpected adverse drug reactions(ADRs).Methods:This activity has been going on since December 2014.Activity area includes secondary public hospital or Upazila health complex(UHC)in hundred sub districts and Surya Kanta Kala-azar Research Center(SKKRC)in Mymensingh District,a specialized center for management of complicated VL and PKDL cases.Communicable Disease Control(CDC)of the Directorate General of Health Services(DGHS)assigned twenty five of hundred UHCs and SKKRC(total 26)as treatment centers depending on their suitable geographical location.This was implemented for better management of VL cases with Liposomal Amphotericin B(AmBisome®)to ensure patient convenience and proper utilization of this expensive donated drug.A VLPV expert committee and a UHC VLPV team were established,an operational manual and pharmacovigilance report forms were developed,training and refresher training of health personnel took place at UHCs and at the central level,collected information such as patient data including demographics,treatment history and response,adverse events were analyzed.This report includes information for the period from December 2014 to December 2016.Results:From December 2014 to December 2016,1327 leishmaniasis patients were treated and 1066(80%)were available for VLPV.Out of these,57,33,9,and 1%were new VL,PKDL,VL relapse,and other cases,respectively.Liposomal amphotericin B was mostly used(82%)for case management,followed by miltefosine(20%)and paromomycin(3%).Out of the 1066 patients,26%experienced ADRs.The most frequent ADR was fever(17%,176/1066),followed by vomiting(5%,51/1066).Thirteen serious adverse events(SAEs)(eight deaths and five unexpected SAEs)were observed.The expert committee assessed that three of the deaths and all unexpected SAEs were possibly related to treatment.Out of the five unexpected SAEs,four were miltefosine-induced ophthalmic complications and the other was an AmBisome^(■)-induced avascular necrosis of the nasal alae.The Directorate General of the Drug Administration entered the ADRs into the World Health Organization Uppsala Monitoring Centre(WHO-UMC)VigiFlow database.Conclusions:This study found that VLPV through NKEP is feasible and should be continued as a routine activity into the public health system of Bangladesh to ensure patient safety against anti-leishmanial drugs. | Md.Sakhawat Hossain Amresh Kumar A.F.M Akhtar Hossain Md.Mahshin Abhijit Sharma Md.Akter Hossain Varun Sharma Rashidul Haque A.K.M Shamsuzzaman Shomik Maruf Prakash Ghosh Vivek Ahuja Dinesh Mondal | 2018 | Infectious Diseases of Poverty2018，7，1： | 0 |
