▼ With the reauthorization of the 2013 Violence Against Women Act all Title IV higher education institutions will now be required to provide "primary
prevention and awareness programs for all incoming students." Yet, more research is needed to find
prevention programs that are effective (White House Task Force to Protect Students From Sexual Assault 2014). This quasi-experimental study utilizes a mixed methods embedded design including both quantitative and qualitative measures to evaluate the effectiveness of the Oregon State University's anti-violence
prevention curriculums, Every1 and One Act Bystander Intervention Program, on student violence attitudes and beliefs, skill confidence and self-efficacy, and behavioral change. Quantitative data was collected using a pretest-posttest survey. Qualitative data was collected through observations, and focus groups with participants. No significant difference was found between control and experimental groups. Five themes emerged from the focus group: the curriculum increased dialogue on dating and sexual violence among students; the curriculum increased community awareness of dating and sexual violence as well as community support for survivors; students feel there are many multilayered complex 'gray areas' around consent that inhibit their ability to assess potentially violent situations in order to safely intervene; students need more diverse experiences represented within
prevention curriculum and would like the curriculum to speak to a wider range of identities; students feel there are many barriers to reporting sexual or dating violence yet see Oregon State University as a influential and credible institution with the power to shape sexual and dating violence discourse and
prevention efforts.

▼ This study was undertaken in order to make an enquiry on the benefits and possible improvements of the Malaria Prevention Health Education Program (MPHEP) in Mtendere Residential area. The objectives were to; determine the benefits of the MPHEP; investigate the content of the MPHEP; establish the challenges encountered in the process of conducting the MPHEP; and to establish possible solutions to the challenges encountered in the process of conducting the MPHEP.
This study employed a case study design and triangulated data collection instruments. Data was collected from the respondents using semi structured questionnaires, focus group discussions and in depth interviews from a sample of 120 respondents. These included;1 Sister in-Charge (SIC), 1 Environmental Health Technologist (EHT), 9 nurses, 10 Neighbourhood Health Committee members, 10 women at the Mother and Child Health (MCH) department, 20 patients suspected to have malaria and 69 community members of Mtendere Township who sought health services at the local clinic.
The findings included the benefits of the MPHEP through reduced morbidity and mortality resulting from Malaria. However, there was a multiplicity of challenges in its implementation. The major challenges were inadequate human resource, insufficient Indoor Residual Spraying chemicals, inadequate educational materials and donor driven funding. The situation was compounded by irregular and less frequent staff training and capacity building activities. The MPHEP was overshadowed by HIV/AIDS programs. The recommendations that emanated from the study were that government should provide adequate funding and human resource for the MPHEP in order to have a malaria free community. As a community, Mtendere clinic staff and the residents should find other ways of raising funds for the MPHEP so as to make it effective towards Malaria elimination.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the most common preventable cause of hospital deaths, and almost all hospitalised patients have at least one risk factor for venous thrombo-embolism (VTE). Despite the availability of highly effective thromboprophylaxis in prevent-ing VTE, numerous studies worldwide have demonstrated its under-utilization. The aim of this study was to review and improve the utilization of thromboprophylaxis in the prevention of VTE in hospitalized patients at Oudtshoorn district hospital.
Method: A quality improvement cycle (QIC). Retrospective analysis of files of adult patients admitted to the male and female wards at Oudtshoorn district hospital was performed prior to and after a 5 month intervention phase. The target standards for the QIC were: 1) Availability of a written hospital policy on VTE prevention; 2) Every adult admission should have a for-mal VTE risk assessment documented; 3) Every adult admission who is at risk for VTE should receive thromboprophylaxis.
Results: Thirty eight percent of adult patients admitted to Oudtshoorn hospital, excluding the maternity ward, were at risk of developing VTE. There was no written hospital policy on VTE prevention. This was developed and made available during the intervention. In the pre-intervention group there were no patients who had a documented VTE risk assessment. The post intervention group showed a considerable increase with 45.2% having had a completed VTE risk assessment on admission (p<0.00001). In the pre-intervention group only 4.6 per-cent of patients who were at risk of VTE received thromboprophylaxis. There was a statisti-cally significant difference in the number of patients at risk who received thromboprophylax-is in the post-intervention group where 36% of these patients received thromboprophylaxis (p<0.00001).
Conclusions: The study identified a major shortcoming in the prevention of VTE in those patients at risk who were admitted to Oudtshoorn district hospital. An intervention as part of a quality improvement cycle has been able to demonstrate a significant improvement in the detection of patients who are at risk of VTE and a subsequent improvement in appropriate thromboprophylaxis. A number of barriers to their implementation have been identified and need to be addressed. This QIC may in time be of value to assist other district hospitals in addressing the issue of VTE prevention.

▼ Uncontrolled fluid flow in the wellbore is one of the most critical safety concerns for the oil and gas industry. The major focus of this dissertation is on blowout events given the most severe consequences associated with such incidents. The past tragedies reflect a strong need for not only understanding the mechanisms of blowout to accurately estimate the consequence, but also the approaches to managing and controlling the risks, uncertainties, and hazards associated with blowout events.
A fully integrated analytical model that couples the reservoir and wellbore has been proposed to investigate the fluid behaviors during the blowout events. This model could be used to simulate any potential blowout events for gas, oil, or oil/gas wells at onshore or offshore facilities. The reservoir, wellbore, and their interactions are coupled together to demonstrate a full picture of the potential well blowout incidents. The results reveal that understanding the importance of heat transfer and multi-phase flow behaviors is essential to accurately estimate the consequence of well blowouts. Well-established computational algorithms are developed to effectively estimate the blowout rate and total discharge amount during blowout incidents. The statistical analysis identifies the independent variables responsible for the maximum discharge; both reservoir permeability and the connected reservoir volume are the key variables.
The results of the blowout modeling could serve as the input for both consequence-based and risk-based approaches to assess the risk associated with the blowout events. The application of such approaches is demonstrated by the case study. The consequence-based approach is easier to be implemented and provide guidance to the operators based on the realistic worst-case scenario. It would be useful for drilling site location selection and preparation of emergency response plan. On the other hand, the risk-based approach enables the operators to have a comprehensive understanding of the particular well that they are working on, so that the risk associated with the blowout events can be effectively managed and controlled. The risk reduction plan based on the blowout risk assessment is also discussed in this dissertation.

▼ In the last four decades, the international peace agenda has been dominated by debates on conflict prevention. In Africa, the post-cold war era has witnessed a shift in emphasis from conflict management to conflict prevention. While conflict management focuses on armed aspects of conflict, conflict prevention endeavors to contain and resolve imminent conflicts by responding to visible signs and indicators. Essentially, the shift is necessitated by the shortcomings of the reactionary rather than proactive nature of conflict management approaches. Irrespective of the paradigm shift towards conflict prevention, Africa continues to witness persistent overt conflicts. This study therefore, primarily seeks to examine and analyze the role of early warning systems in conflict prevention in Africa. The adoption of early warning practice in conflict prevention has had its successes and failures. This clearly points out the need to scrutinize the current early warning systems available in Africa. Cases of success are evident in Sierra Leone, as well as the failure of the International community to contain the genocide in Rwanda. The study used the empirical case of the Ilemi Triangle; a conflict-hotspot contested by South Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya. This region is distinguished by the prevalence and persistence of armed conflict typified by both intra-state and inter-state wars. These conflicts have since gained renewed interest due to prospects of oil and other minerals. The study utilizes conflict prevention theory propounded by Michael S. Lund. Lund contends that the success of conflict prevention is contingent to the following three assumptions: early response to manifestations of danger; an all-inclusive, coordinated process to mitigate tension or threats to violence; and concerted attempts to transform the root causes of violence. This study therefore, is based on the assumption that, weak early warning systems lead to conflict escalation. Hence, the study involved conducting a survey research with the Ilemi Triangle as a case study. The sample population comprised of 316 adult male and female from the Turkana, Didinga, Toposa, Nyangatom and Dassanech pastoral communities that straddle the Ilemi Triangle. The research employed both qualitative and quantitative research techniques which comprised of data collected by use of questionnaires, focus group discussions, interviews and observation. The data collected was then analysed using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. The findings of this survey indicate that the persistence of overt conflicts in Africa is majorly caused by: marginalization; lack of official state presence; environmental scarcity (water, pasture and land for growing crops); disputed boundaries; and, long standing hatred between ethnic communities. From the research findings, it is evident that, violence is preventable and that emergences of early warning systems have a positive impact on conflicts in Africa. The study further points out that, strengthening and contextualizing existing…

▼ The goal of this study was to examine whether a storybook about home safety would increase hazard recognition, and reduce risky behaviour in children three through five years of age. Participants were randomly assigned to either receive the storybook intervention or a control condition. While robust group differences were not found, the results revealed trends as expected. There was a significant increase in hazard identification scores from pre- to post-intervention in the intervention but not the control condition, with greater reading time positively associated with larger improvements. Moreover, while children in the control group showed a marginally significant increase in number of hazards they touched from pre- to post-intervention, those in the intervention group did not. The pattern of these findings suggests that the storybook intervention, to some extent, positively impacted both knowledge and behaviour. Suggestions for future research are discussed.

▼ Efficiently identifying individuals at high risk of diabetes is a priority for examining implementation methods to increase access, reach, and scalability of diabetes prevention programs (DPPs). The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of point of care (POC) device to identify participants with prediabetes for inclusion in an RCT designed to test the impact a digital DPP platform on body weight and HbA1c. Initially, participants were screened for evidence of impaired glucose metabolism via POC device. However, preliminary analyses discovered lack of correspondence between POC and lab assay methods to assess HbA1c leading to changes in the screening protocol. Analyses revealed that 116 randomized participants had a lab assay HbA1c outside of the eligibility criterion. Additionally, the sample obtained via POC screening (pre-amendment) had significantly lower mean HbA1c as compared to the sample screened using lab assay (post-amendment). The post-amendment sample was significantly older, but had lower blood pressure and body weight than the pre-amendment sample. Rate of recruitment was not affected by the change in screening protocol. The results of the present study indicate that use of POC to identify a prediabetic sample may be problematic; however, future research with higher quality POC device is warranted.

▼ Background: Malaria is a major public health problem and principal cause of morbidity and mortality in Zambia. We investigated key factors that may be associated with the utilisation of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) as a malaria prevention strategy among women of reproductive age (15–49) in Zambia.
Methods: Data on the characteristics of women (n=4567), ownership and utilisation of ITNs were obtained among others from the Zambia National Malaria Indicator Survey of 2010 (ZMIS 2010). Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine predictors of ITN utilisation using Stata 11 (College Station, Texas, USA). Absence, <10% was the most important cause of non-response.
Results: Overall (n=4567), the median age was 27 (IQR 20.3). The proportion of respondents aged 15–19, was 21.1%. Those who resided in rural areas accounted for 59.3% and less than half (40%) had acquired primary level education. The proportion of the women who lived in households with at least one ITN was 69% and those who slept under an ITN on the night before the survey was 46%. Net use among those living in a household with at least one ITN was significantly higher in rural areas than urban areas (52% vs. 38%, P<0.01). The predictors of ITN use included age, having <5 children, information availability and educational level. Whereas use of ITNs was less likely in households with a higher number of children under five years (OR, 0.62; 95%CI 0.42, 0.92), a higher likelihood for use was seen in older women than in younger women (OR, 1.36; 95%CI 1.27, 1.47) who reported having heard any information on malaria (OR, 1.70; 95%CI 1.30, 2.24) and having had a higher level of education (OR, 1.58; 95%CI 1.34, 1.86). The household and eligible women response rates were 97.2% and 89.6% respectively.
Conclusion: ITN ownership did not necessarily mean utilisation in this population. Differential ITNs utilisation observed might indicate limitations in past malaria control efforts. Strategic ITNs utilisation promotional campaigns should thus consider various geographical and demographical contextual differentials such as education levels in this setting.

▼ Elderly Hispanic individuals with prediabetes are at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The Diabetes
Prevention Program (DPP) clinical efficacy trial demonstrated that weight loss can prevent or slow the progression of type 2 diabetes in high-risk populations regardless of ethnicity, age, or gender. Currently, no DPP translation studies have targeted elderly Hispanic populations to determine the feasibility of a community based DPP intervention. Therefore, it is unknown whether the implementation of a group-based DPP adapted lifestyle intervention in an elderly Hispanic population would decrease risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes. We investigated whether a culturally sensitive diabetes
prevention and management intervention derived from the Social Cognitive Theory resulted in changes in body weight, percent body fat, fasting capillary blood glucose, and self-reported physical activity in elderly Hispanics who were either overweight, prediabetic or type 2 diabetic. We hypothesized that weight loss would improve fasting blood glucose levels over time. A total of 15 participants attended an 8-week (1x week) and 4-week non-intervention weight loss intervention adapted from the diabetes
prevention program (DPP) curriculum. The outcome variables were measured at week 0 (baseline), 4, 8, and 12 weeks and re-measured at 16weeks after a 4-week non-intervention period. There were significant reductions in weight (p<.002) and BMI (p<.001) at 12-weeks compared with baseline. Percent body fat did not decrease significantly compared with baseline. Capillary fasting blood glucose levels were not assessed due to lack of data. This study demonstrated that a short-term culturally sensitive diabetes intervention derived from SCT can help elderly Hispanics achieve modest weight loss. Longer interventions are needed to achieve clinically significant weight loss of 5% and to sustain participant motivation. Due to physical limitations, some elderly individuals may not be able to achieve moderate intensity physical activity levels recommended for clinically significant weight loss.

▼ This is a qualitative study that was intended to analyse the role of South African Police Services (SAPS) railway policing in crime
prevention in South Africa (SA). Commuters are exposed to various criminal activities in the railway environment. The Metro Rail trains are the most affordable trains and for that reason, the majority of commuters use these trains to travel to and from their workplaces. This study focused on the large stations in the Gauteng province, South Africa, as there is a high influx of people coming from various provinces for job opportunities. Alexander (2019:np) states that Gauteng is the smallest province, but has the largest population and economy.
The non-random sampling procedure was used to select participants. Data was collected by means of perusing the existing literature, SAPS information notes, official documents and articles. Interviews were conducted with South African Police Service Rapid Rail Unit (SAPSRRPU) members. Each unit was represented by a maximum of eight members. The information obtained from the participants was analysed by using the Atlas-ti software. This is a computer program used to analyse data in qualitative research.; Iyi ndi ngudo ya ndeme i itelwaho u saukanya mushumo wa yunithi ya vhupholisa ha raliwei ya Tshumelo ya Tshipholisa ya Afrika Tshipembe (SAPS) kha u thivhela vhugevhenga Afrika Tshipembe (SA).

▼ Introduction and background: Maternal Mortality (MM) is defined as those deaths that occur due to complications of pregnancy or child birth and in women dying within 42 days after delivery. The 5th millennium development goal (MDG5) was fashioned to mitigate the burden due to Maternal Deaths. Maternal mortality Ratio (MMRatio) is high in Zambia currently standing at 591/ 100, 000 live births in 2007. This study aimed to aggregate available notified and reviewed maternal deaths in 4 provincial medical offices in Zambia. This descriptive study examined causes of maternal deaths, characteristics of the dead women and features of the facilities they died in, based on Maternal Death Review (MDR) data.
Methods: The study used the 3 tools used during maternal death reviews. These included the notification, health facility and the community interview tools. Data was entered from the completed forms from year 2008 to January 2014 available at the provincial health offices in western, north western, copperbelt and central provinces.
Results and discussion: In the four provinces, 329 notifications were found. Based on the MDR data, Western province had the largest maternal mortality ratio of 166/ 100,000 live births. The lowest MMRatio was for the copperbelt province at 24 deaths per 100, 000 live births. Collectively the bleeding conditions accounted for 48% of all the pregnancy related deaths. There were also deficiencies in the referral system, supplies, skills and equipment in some health facilities. In some cases the diagnosis was missed or the appropriate management was delayed altogether. Notwithstanding, factors outside the health system such as the sparse geographic distribution and poor road communication during referrals were noted.
Conclusion and Recommendation: Gaps in the human resources for health, blood and other supplies and equipment for emergence obstetric care, the low rate of referred patients and competencies by service providers to manage and resuscitate emergencies contributed to the maternal mortality in the 4 provinces.
Factors in the 3 delay model, especially the delay to receive appropriate care in the face of obstetric emergencies, were observed to be an important and common phenomenon. Emergence Obstetric care may need to be scaled up to all Health Posts (HP) and Rural Health Centres (RHC). Maternal Death Review data may be quantified regularly at national level to provide real time feedback to policy makers.

▼ M.S. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2016.
This study is based on self reported information from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System – Hawai‘i 2014. A perspective of current prevention measures is presented and the association to demographics, behavioral and health conditions were unveiled to determine risk groups to target for prevention. The study examined current status of fall prevention programs, behavioral, demographic, and health factors associated with falls and fall-related injuries in adults 45 years of age and older. A total of 4614 respondents 45 years of age and older participated in the fall prevention measures survey. The year 2014 BRFSS – Hawai‘i survey indicates an overall survey’s response of 84.1% for landline and cell phones. Results of the study indicate that the prevalence of falls and injuries related to fall were higher for the following groups: women, age groups 55-64 and 45-54, White and Japanese ethnic groups, those with income equal or higher than 75,000 or less than 35,000, college 1 to 3 years, and those with specific health conditions or behavior. The increased odds for falling for certain health conditions or behaviors can increase as high as 6.2 times (95% CI 4.3-8.8) and as high as 2.9 times (95% CI 1.8-4.7) for injury related to fall. Older groups had increasingly higher odds for falls after adjusting for sex, ethnicity, education level, and annual household income while 65-74 and 85 and older age groups had higher adjusted odds for injuries related to fall. Other information useful to guide and help better customize combination of evidence-based preventive intervention to the local population of Hawai‘i is also presented. Results on specific preventive measures of the program indicate that about 90% of the respondents selected at least one prevention intervention to reduce the risk of falls emphasizing the interest of the community in general in the fall prevention program but also showing warning signs for disparities in knowledge translation.

▼ Variability in peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (pQCT) measurement sites limits direct comparisons of results between studies. Further, it is unclear what estimates or surrogates of bone strength are most indicative of changes in fracture resistance due to aging, disease, or interventions. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of age and gender on tibia morphology, and to relate indicators of tibia mass and shape to hip and spine areal bone mineral densities (aBMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) as assessed by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). Additional purposes of this study were to determine which tibia site or sites are most sensitive for detecting age, gender, or menopause-related morphology changes. Methods: Self-identifying Caucasian men (n=55) and women (n=59) ages 20-59 years had their total body, lumbar spine, and dual proximal femur aBMD and BMC measured with DXA (GE Lunar Prodigy). Body composition (total and leg bone free lean body mass (BFLBM) and fat mass (FM)) were assessed from the total body scan. Their non-dominant tibias were measured with pQCT (Stratec XCT 3000) at every 10% of the limb length from 5%-95% from distal to proximal. Volumetric BMD, BMC, and area of the total, cortical and trabecular bone were determined. Also, periosteal (PeriC) and endosteal (EndoC) circumferences, cortical thickness (CTh), bone strength index (BSI), strength strain index (SSI), moments of inertia (Imax, Imin) mass ratios, and strength to mass ratios were quantified. General health information, menstrual history, dietary intake averaged over the previous year, and lifetime bone specific physical activity (BPAQ) were assessed by questionnaires for regression analysis. Participants were grouped by decade and by gender. Results: Bone morphology and strength characteristics varied along the tibia in a nonlinear fashion. There were significant (p<0.01) site effects for all BMC, vBMD, area, strength (SSI, Imin, Imax, SSI:Tot.BMC ratio), PeriC and EndoC. Total vBMD peaked at the 35%, while cortical BMC peaked at 55% with minimums at 5% and 85%. Total BMC, SSI, SSI:Tot.BMC ratio, and Imax all peaked at the 85% site. Large gender differences (21-28%) in Tot.BMC were paralleled by differences in Tot.Area (14-25%), due to differences in Cort.BMC and area (21-25%) (p<0.01). Gender differences (p<0.01) in Imax, SSI, and SSI:Tot.BMC ratio were smallest at the 15% sites and increased through the diaphysis. Women had significantly (p<0.05) greater Cort.vBMD than men. Men had significantly (p<0.01) greater Tot.BMC ratios at 5%:35% 5%:65%, and 5%:85%. Site*gender interaction effects were significant (p<0.05) for area, BMC, circumference, and strength variables. CTh and total vBMD were lowest (p<0.05) in 50-59 yr group, and several trends (p<0.10) existed for BMC variables. EndoC was highest in the 50-59 yr group, and Imax was highest in the 40-49 yr group. Site*age interactions existed for Cort.vBMD, Tot.BMC, SSI, Imax, EndoC, and SSI:Tot.BMC. There were significant age effects for total vBMD and…

▼ 9/11 has been a milestone to redefine terrorism and how to counter it. It has been revealed that a global anti-terrorism alliance is required to overcome such an enormous threat for all countries. Thus, the UN has taken initiatives very effectively just following 9/11 by urging the entire world what to do against terrorism which is a common threat for humanity. A counter terrorism regime has emerged, and adopted mandatory regulations for member countries including Russia and Turkey. Having changed the perception and understanding of terrorism, the UN’s Counter Terrorism Committee (CTC) has been established as enforcement unit evaluating states’ stance towards terrorism, and recommending them how to fill the gaps in countering terrorism. Russia and Turkey have also submitted reports to the CTC, and made some counter terrorism regulation accordingly. Overall, the main assumption of this study, ‘the UN played a major role in counter-terrorism efforts following the events of 9/11’, has been examined through the related literature and interviews, and confirmed. Truly, the UN has become a global security actor, to some extent affecting counter terrorism policies implemented by Russia and Turkey

In Zambian prisons, HIV prevalence is estimated to stand at 27% against a national HIV prevalence rate of 14%. This situation is described as being "grave". It is grave because of other compounding factors such as poor environmental and prison conditions. A major risky behaviour associated with sexual transmission of HIV in Zambian male prisons is male-to-male sex (MMS). MMS is anal sex that is usually performed under coercive circumstances. The risk of sexual transmission of HIV is high because prisoners, in most cases, do not take precautionary measures when engaging in MMS. There is an urgent need to put in place workable preventive interventions that can reduce the high HIV prevalence rates in Zambian male prisons.This study, Prevention of Sexual Transmission of HIV in Zambian Prisons: An Ethical Perspective on the Provision of Condoms, has two main objectives: First, to inquire into the main preventive interventions that are currently in place to prevent sexual transmission of HIV and second, to critically assess from an ethical point of view arguments for and against condom provision in Zambian prisons. It is divided in two parts: an empirical part and a philosophical part. The empirical part discussed current practices in prisons that are aimed at preventing sexual transmission of HIV. Data was collected through secondary sources and informal interviews. Secondary sources involved reading documents while informal interviews were done through a questionnaire and personal interviews with prison authorities. The philosophical part consisted of an ethical analysis of the arguments for and against the provision of condoms among prisoners. The Principle of the Lesser of Two Evils (PLE), which is an ethical principle that is widely used in literature on the prevention of sexually transmitted HIV, was employed.It has been discovered that while there are a number of preventive interventions that have been put in place to reduce HIV infections through MMS, much more needs to be done in order to adapt these measures to a male prison environment. Prison environment is a peculiar environment that requires specifically tailored preventive measures suitable to that environment.One such effective, though controversial, preventive intervention that should be introduced in Zambian prisons is the provision of male latex condoms. Using the PLE, it has been shown that the policy of condom provision can be seen as a lesser evil because the disadvantages of not providing condoms outweigh the disadvantages of condom provision.

▼ The morbidity caused by Malaria is most commonly associated with some factors, mostly Geographical, Environmental, Housing Structures and cultural perspectives of people regarding the intervention in place. Control programs targeting malaria are intended to reduce
its extent over time. The study aimed at determining factors associated with Malaria Prevalence in areas where Indoor Residual Spraying is conducted in Lufwanyama District.The study was a retrospective cross-sectional study and utilized quantitative research
methods. The population for the study was all households sprayed in Lufwanyama. Structured Interview questionnaires were used to collect data. Systematic Probability Sampling methods
was used to select respondents in the IRS cluster areas and validation of findings was set at 95% CI with a P-value<0.05.
The study showed an inverse association between sprayed households and episodes of malaria in the 390 houses sampled. Of the 355 households that experienced malaria, 72.68% (n=258)came from sprayed households and only 27.32% (n=97) came from non-sprayed households(P-value<0.022). Houses whose land is under vegetation showed 85.5% (n=318) of malaria cases, while those that kept Livestock recorded 26.2% (n=102) of malaria cases (P-value <0.012). The study also shows that out of the 390 sampled, only 5.9%(n=23) participated in IRS activities and 357 (94.10%) percent did not participate.Participation could be linked to preventive methods chosen by the community where, the majority indicated that ITNs (48%) were the best method of preventing malaria, while only 23% preferred IRS.Any strategy for controlling malaria vectors in Lufwanyama or indeed all pastoral areas in Zambia should take into account the heterogeneity of the vector for better control measure
choices and implementation. Also it is very important to invest in as many research to tackle Vector behaviour in Lufwanyama.Authorities in the Ministry of Health, National Malaria Control and other stakeholders may wish to look at contribution of IRS to malaria. Malaria control through IRS should be
perceived by the beneficiaries with good intent but if the beneficiaries are not engaged, other interventions such as insecticide treated nets (ITNs) will always be favoured over IRS.
Hence, there is need to redefine the community sensitization approaches in order to make IRS a genuinely participative, acceptable and well perceived intervention. Community
sensitization can be in many folds; improving household structures, creating habitable environments and geographical conditions that favour lasting efficacy of the DDTs. Not addressing this issue would render IRS an annual routine academic exercise.

▼ Humans have long suffered the effects of disease causing biological agents. Today bioterrorism appears to be on the rise while at the same time global and ecological changes have resulted in the emergence of new diseases. Potential repercussions of an epidemic pose immense challenges requiring a methodical approach to align priorities and resources. Past assessments evaluating the potential impact of an introduction of
various biological agents have often produced disparate results, primarily due to underlying differences in their comparison methodologies and data inputs. Divergent outcomes of these studies have resulted in very broad biopreparedness strategies without a consensus on how to target limited resources on just those agents that could have the greatest public health impact. Further hampering biopreparedness is a paucity of data not
often recognized due to reliance on
subject matter experts and qualitative processes. In consideration of these challenges the present study evaluated thirty three bacterial and viral agents using the full range of available data in the scientific literature. Quantitative metrics were combined to rank the potential impact posed by an agent, relative to others considered. Resultant rankings were obtained for low, most likely and high potential public health impacts for both untreated and treated mortality endpoints. Through the
incorporation of the full range of available data, results of the current assessment made strides to unify conflicting outcomes obtained in past assessments.

▼ Background: The National Malaria
Prevention and Control approach in Ethiopia employs four main strategies. Among these Selective vector control using Insecticide treated nets is the one. ITNs were distributed to all households. But malaria is the leading cause of morbidity in the study area and little is known about factors associated with ITNs utilization and community perception towards malaria.
Objective: To assess community perception towards malaria and factors associated with utilization of insect side treated nets in rural kebeles of Farta District, South Gondar.
Methods: A community based cross-sectional household survey was conducted in Farta District, during March 2008. Multi-stage sampling was used to select 845 households. Data were collected using structured questionnaire to interview head of household (spouse), observation check list and focus group discussions.
Result: Among 829 respondents 52.9% perceived that, the cause of malaria was due to getting cold, and only 31% reported that mosquitoes could transmit malaria, stagnant water are known environmental risk factor to cause malaria by 45.6%. 61.2% had malaria education message in the last one year, the rest 38.8% of respondents hadn’t. 89.3% of respondents protect themselves from mosquito biting. Only28.4% of respondents knew high risk groups. But 70% pregnant women and 78.7% under five years of age children slept under ITNs in the prior night of the survey. 41.8% of households mentioned, there was supervision on ITNs utilization. Having health information message, supervision on ITNs utilization and educational status were significantly associated with ITN utilization. The shape and color of ITNs was not an important predictor of ITN use.
Conclusions: Perception of the respondents on causes of malaria shows a great gap. Large segment of population lacks malaria education message. The proportion of those who protect themselves from mosquitoes biting was a good entry point to strengthen malaria
prevention and control strategies. High risk group identification was very low, whereas, the proportion of high risk groups who slept under ITNs during the night preceding the survey was very high. Supervision and follow up on ITNs utilization was unsatisfactory. Therefore, District health office and health care providers should focus on awareness creation activities and supervision of ITNs utilization

▼ Background: HIV counseling and testing is fundamental to both HIV/AIDS
prevention and treatment. Patients need to know their sero-status to benefit from available care and treatment options. Therefore, multi-focused counseling and testing strategies need to be instituted in order to reach risk groups. Provider Initiated HIV Counseling and Testing (PIHCT) is getting implemented in most facilities utilizing Directly Observed Treatment Short course (DOTS) to increase uptake of HCT as most the important opportunity. Different factors might affect PIHCT service uptake which demand timely assessment.
Objective: To assess acceptability of PIHCT and factors influencing its uptake among tuberculosis patients in selected areas in Gamo Gofa zone.
Methods: Institution-based, cross-sectional study was conducted from January to April 2009, on 440 patients attending Tuberculosis clinics from four weredas in Gamo Gofa zone. Study site were selected based on their annual TB case load and evidence of HCT service presence. Regression model was used to assess factors associated with acceptability of PIHCT.
Results: 373 (84.8%) patients were initiated for HIV counseling and testing by their TB treatment supervisor and of these 336 (89.8%) had under gone HIV testing and the overall acceptability was found to be 76.4%. knowledge and attitude variables like willingness to disclose status of TB to others (AOR= 3.9; 95% CI= 1.9-8.2), believing healthy looking person could be infected with HIV (AOR 8.8, 95%CI=2.5-31.7), agreed that everyone should be tested (AOR=7.1; 95% CI=2.3-22.1), and disagreeing PIHCT has negative influence (AOR=4.9, 95%CI=1.4-16.5) were each associated with higher odds of having tested for HIV following their supervisor initiation.
Conclusion and Recommendation: The relatively high acceptability of PIHCT in this study shows fertile ground for the control,
prevention and treatment of both HIV/AIDS and TB. The programme needs to be strengthened and TB supervisors should keep their efforts to promote PIHCT.

▼ ABSTRACT
Background
Nausea and vomiting experienced by patients receiving cytotoxic therapy is distressing and occasionally debilitating. Differences and similarities in the effectiveness among serotonin-receptor antagonists have been reported in clinical studies and this has prompted the current study to determine whether the differences are considerable in terms of clinical efficacy and tolerability at Kenyatta National Hospital.
Objective
To compare the antiemetic effect of granisetron and ondansetron each combined with dexamethasone among patients receiving cisplatin based chemotherapy regimens at Kenyatta National Hospital.
Methodology
Thirty-four adult cancer patients scheduled to receive two consecutive three weekly cycles of cisplatin based chemotherapy regimens for the first time (at doses > 50 mg/m2), were recruited into a double-blind randomized crossover study to receive ondansetron 12mg or granisetron 3mg each combined with dexamethasone 8mg as intravenous on the first day. On days 2 to 4 post chemotherapy participants received oral treatment, either ondansetron or granisetron each combined with dexamethasone as prophylaxis against delayed emesis. The frequency of nausea and vomiting were assessed daily until 5th day post chemotherapy. Data were collected using a close ended questionnaire and reported as frequencies (%). Statistical analysis was done using STATA software version 13. Statistical significance was done using Fisher’s exact test for each variable and it was termed significant when p value was less than 0.05. Results
There was a female predominance at 70.6%. The predominant age category was 50-70 years at 47.1% and mean age was 53.5 (±11.9) years. The commonest type of cancer was cervical followed by head and neck cancer. There was no statistically significant difference between ondansetron and granisetron associated with patient’s
xvii
sociodemographic characteristics, but on the dosage of cisplatin variable at first day of the delayed phase (p values < 5%). Incidences of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting were more frequent in first compared to second cycle where most patients vomited once in five days. The peak incidence was observed on day two post chemotherapy and antiemetic administration. Complete prevention of acute and delayed vomiting/nausea was observed in about 80% of patients receiving either of the treatments. Adverse effects were not significantly different between the two antiemetic regimens, although the most frequent were malaise/fatigue and headache. Direct cost with granisetron based antiemetic treatment regimen was higher compared with the one with ondansetron at a ratio of approximately 10:1.
Conclusion
Ondansetron and granisetron each combined with dexamethasone have similar efficacy and tolerability in the prevention of cisplatin-induced emesis. The choice to use any of them should depend on direct cost.
Recommendations Ondansetron should be preferred to granisetron in view of its lower cost and further research for complete prevention of delayed…

▼ This study sought to confirm and expand literature on psychological health by comparing and contrasting the effects of two
prevention programmes, one focused on reducing negative affect and the other focused on enhancing positive affect, and by revealing possible pathways that might lead to increased wellbeing and resilience and reduced negative affect and depressive symptoms.
Two school-based intervention approaches were examined: Kiwi ACE (Adolescents Coping with Emotions) and PAL (Positive Approaches to Life), to investigate which techniques would prevent the occurrence of depression, increase wellbeing, and help build resilience in Year 9 students (13-yr-olds). Kiwi ACE is a programme based on a CBT (Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy) model and was trialled previously with success. PAL kept within the same structure as Kiwi ACE but used strategies aimed at building a capacity within students to develop positive emotions in order to build resources for present and future challenges. Both programmes aimed to build resilience and prevent the development of depression in at-risk adolescents.
Nine schools from the wider Wellington region in New Zealand participated in the current study. Sixty-five students identified as at-risk, participated in one of the two programmes, and 69 students constituted the control group. All students in the current study were at risk of developing depression, pre-intervention, as suggested by a mild-moderate score on the CDI (Children's Depression Inventory). Both programmes consisted of weekly one hour sessions enacted over 12 weeks during which a group of approximately 10 students met with a clinical psychologist and school counsellor. A survey consisting of a range of scales, measured students' scores pre- and post- programme, at six months and one year after the programme was completed.
Kiwi ACE and PAL both decreased depressive symptoms and increased well-being for up to one year after the programme. However, PAL had stronger effects in promoting gratitude, satisfaction with life, happiness, and resilience. Mediation analysis revealed that Kiwi ACE helped to decrease depressive symptoms by increasing students' sense of environmental mastery and increased students' well-being scores by decreasing the intensity and frequency of participants’ negative emotions. In contrast, PAL helped to decrease depressive symptoms, and increase well-being and resilience through many routes, namely through increasing gratitude, meaning, happiness and satisfaction with life.
The findings of this study reveal that building a capacity for positive emotions can help develop many resources that protect students from depressive symptoms and increase their psychological well-being and personal resilience. In addition, using positive emotions as a resource is equally effective as using CBT strategies in preventing depression and is more effective in increasing positive outcomes, including personal resilience. Finally the results from PAL indicate that cultivating positive emotions such as gratitude and…

▼ The study was aimed at determining the knowledge, attitude and practice of infection prevention among the health care providers at Mina Soko Military Hospital, Kafue District Hospital and Nchanga South Mine Hospital. The focus was directed at knowledge, attitude and practice of health care providers on infection prevention measures. Studies have been done on general nurses, mid wives and medical doctors but no study has been done on other health care providers such as paramedics, non- proffessional health wokers and pschosocial councellors, thereby identifying a gap in the infection prevention practices.Infection prevention program has been promoted as a strategy to reduce nosocomial infections and to minimize adverse social outcomes associated with unexpected expenditure due to patients long staying in the hospitals. The researcher investigated the knowledge attitude and practice of infection prevention measures among the health care providers at Mina Soko Military Hospital, Kafue District Hospital in Lusaka Province and Nchanga South Mine Hospital on the Copper Belt province-Zambia.A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted at the above named hospitals. The study population included the medical doctors, nurses, paramedics, psychosocial counselors and non-professional health care providers. A sample comprising of 150 respondents was selected using systematic random sampling method. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Quantitative data was grouped manually and was analyzed using the SPSS software of the computer. Data was presented in the form of frequency tables, pie-chats and bar-chats. Cross tabulations was used to determine the relationship between variables.The findings of the study revealed that all the respondents 100% (150) had heard about infection prevention. Out of the 100% who had heard of infection prevention 67% had high knowledge. The study also indicated that all the respondents 100 % (150) had positive attitude towards infection prevention. It was also discovered in the study that of the respondents 20% had poor practices. It is evident from the studies that knowledge influences attitude and attitude influences the practice. In order for one to have a positive attitude on infection prevention they require to have adequate knowledge on the topic. Adequate knowledge coupled with positive attitude
would result into good infection prevention practices. From the study, 100% of the respondents had head about IP and they all had a positive attitude.The factors hindering good infection prevention practices among the health care providers were inadequate material resources and human resources. There was no factor on its on that contributed to the health care providers practice towards infection prevention. Therefore, there is need for authorities to attend to all the factors in order to meet the highest set standards in infection prevention.

▼ Parental perspectives on risk and danger are important to consider in children’s injury prevention research, as they influence children’s adoption of safety strategies and influence how children approach risk and danger (Brussoni & Olsen, 2011). Despite single, stay-at-home, and gay fathers’ increasing numbers and the important roles they play in their children’s development, there has been a lack of research on their perspectives on children’s engagement in outdoor risky play until now. This thesis is written in the publishable paper format and is comprised of two papers, which were informed by poststructural feminist theory. In the first paper, I used semi-structured and photo-elicitation interviews and critical discourse analysis to explore single, stay-at-home, and gay fathers’ perspectives of their 4-12 year old children’s engagement in outdoor risky play and how they relate to tension-filled discourses of “good” fathering. In the second paper, I also used semi-structured and photo-elicitation interviews, but I explored single, stay-at-home, and gay fathers’ perspectives of masculinity and its influence on their understanding of their children’s outdoor risky play. Taken together, the findings from both papers showcase the important roles that single, stay-at-home, and gay fathers play in their children’s outdoor risky play.

▼ This dissertation determined the effect of known and theoretical risk factors for LBP in the Olympic class sailors utilizing a cohort design. A secondary goal was to determine if any factors related to sailors or sailing would provide a protective effect, lowering the risk of LBP. Sailors exposed to hiking (a sailing-specific activity) and non-hiking sailing classes were analyzed for the effect of hiking activity as a risk factor for LBP. Hiking exposure increases risk of LBP. Exposure to more than two hours of unloading the sailors’ boats and equipment prior to a regatta was a second unique risk factor for LBP, and worked as an effect modifier on the hiking risk of developing LBP. Hikers also exposed to greater than two hours of unloading time were found to have eight times greater risk of developing LBP than non-hikers.
A previous case of LBP in the past 6 months doubled the hiking sailor’s risk of developing LBP. An age of 22 years or less increased risk by roughly 2.5 times. Regular training program exposure over the previous 12 months reduced risk of developing LBP by nearly two-thirds. Programs consisting of traditional aerobic and strength training components, along with the addition of sailing-specific training methods were most effective in reducing risk of LBP. A 65% reduction in risk of developing LBP was found by being a National Team member. Comparisons were made between the characteristics and behaviors of the National Team versus non-team affiliated sailors to possibly explain this effect.

▼ Research on the origin of biological life on Earth is actively working toward understanding the conditions under which possible prebiotic chemical reactions could promote abiogenesis. Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) is the main reaction product of UVB-induced photochemistry on DNA. The presence of a wall, behind which DNA is encapsulated, serves as a necessary boundary and energy exchange system between the interior of a cell and surrounding environment. It is presently undetermined how primitive genetic polymers were protected on early Earth, but naturally occurring molecules present >3.4 Ga ago may have had a role. At that age, the synthesis of organic monomers likely occurred at interfaces between energy and environment. The reducing atmosphere (electron rich) enabled molecules to gain electrons to transduce energy. Since modern membrane-bound molecules that contribute to the movement of electrons in photosynthesis - and have energy transducing properties - contain conjugated ring systems, (PAH) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons may have exerted a prebiotic role in redox chemistry. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of a cell model (a vesicle) containing a possible primitive chromophore (here, pyrene) on DNA mutagenesis. An immunochemical assay was used to detect CPDs, formed between adjacent thymine nucleobases on fragmented genomic DNA and induced by UVB light, when DNA was encapsulated in a membrane composed of phospholipid alone or phospholipid and pyrene. These simulations were compared to DNA not encapsulated in a membrane. Results demonstrate that higher overall detection of CPD-DNA correlates with a greater initial rate of CPD-DNA formation. Mainly, the largest rate corresponded to DNA in solution, while the slowest rate corresponded to DNA encapsulated within a (DOPy) DOPC + pyrene membrane.

▼ Alkohol och droger är ett stort problem i dagens samhälle men förebyggande insatser har visat sig ge bra resultat för att minska denna problematik. Många företag i Sverige vill förebygga att de anställda är påverkade av alkohol eller droger på arbetsplatserna då detta leder till dålig arbetsmiljö och ökad risk för olyckor. Ett av dessa företag är LKAB, som är ett högteknologiskt malmförädlingsföretag med cirka 4100 anställda i både ovan- och underjordsverksamhet. LKAB arbetar aktivt med att föebygga alkohol och droger på arbetsplatserna, detta för att minska ohälsa och olycksfall bland de anställda. LKAB använder sig av slumpmässiga drogtester, vilket har visat positiva resultat i det förebyggande arbetet. Syftet med undersökningen var att ta reda på hur LKAB arbetar med personer som har missbruksproblem och vilket resultat detta medfört. Jag har använt mig av en kvalitativ undersökning och intervjuade tre personer som arbetar med slumpmässiga drogtester åt LKAB. Jag har också använt mig av tidigare forskning inom arbetsmiljö, drogtester och förebyggande arbete. Resultatet av mitt arbete är att visa att problemet med förekomst av alkohol och droger på arbetsplatser måste bli ännu mera belyst på grund av de allvarliga risker som problematiken medför för människor på arbetsplatserna. Ett långsiktigt mål måste vara att begränsa problemet genom att ytterligare intensifiera förebyggande åtgärder samt rehabiliteringen.

▼ Missbruk av alkohol och droger kan leda till stora sociala och relationella problem. Dessa problem kan i sin tur bli svåra att hantera för den enskilde människan och de kan leda till att han eller hon tappar impulskontrollen och begår självmord. Det är därför angeläget att samhället satsar mer på dessa områden för att preventivt kunna minska antalet människor som begår självmord. Undersökningar bör även göras för att få klarhet i vilka förebyggande insatser som finns och hur dessa insatser kan minska antalet självmord. Syftet var att belysa interventioner och dess effekter för prevention av självmord hos människor i alla åldrar. Metoden var en forskningsöversikt. Artikelsökningarna gjordes i databaserna PubMed, PsycInfo och SveMed. Totalt inkluderades 15 vetenskapliga artiklar från PubMed och PsycInfo i resultatet. Resultatet visade att det fanns olika hjälpmedel för att förhindra ett självmord, t ex genom att installera blå ljus i tågstationer eller att använda mobilbaserad psykoterapi. Vidare kunde självmord förhindras genom ett stabilt social nätverk av nära och kära, samhället, särskilda utbildningsprogram, mentalhälsovården och gatekeeper som t.ex. lärare, polis, politiker. För att förebygga självmord var det viktigt med information om vart en person som upplevde ensamhet eller nedstämdhet kunde vända sig. Vidare framkom det att det krävdes förebyggande åtgärder i form av utbildning av anhöriga och personal samt, adekvat diagnostik och rätt bedömning och lämplig behandling. Vid akuta krissituationer, akut självmordskris var det viktigt att ett ingripande påbörjades omedelbart för att hålla patienten vid liv. Ett säkert hem och offentliga sjukhusmiljöer var en viktig strategi vid självmordsprevention. Slutsatsen var att det går att förhindra självmord genom att införa självmordspreventionsprogram för till exempel skolan, universitetet, poliser, soldater och övriga utsatta grupper i samhället. Genom att lyssna till anhöriga och nära vänner samt skapa ett fungerande nätverk för självmordsbenägna patienter kan antalet människor som begår självmord minska.

▼ Low back pain (LBP) is a common health problem that
affects most people during their life. The goal of this research is
to track the dynamics of seated stability through the falling
region and determine how the maximum finite time Lyapunov exponent
(FTLE) changes over time. The FTLE describes how quickly two
initially close points in state space diverge. Human torso
stability tests were conducted using an unstable sitting apparatus
capable of attaining large deflection angles. Angle data was
collected using a gyroscopic sensor and Matlab was used to
calculate the FTLE in the time domain. The analysis results for the
Lyapunov exponent in the time domain were consistent with the
results found in state space. Deterministic behavior of the
dynamical system was also detected. A suite of parameters were
investigated in the data analysis. The Lyapunov exponent was found
to be sensitive to changes in evolution time but not sensitive to
the cutoff frequency of the low pass filter when it was above 3.2
Hz. A key point of this research was to understand how the Lyapunov
exponent changed with time as it approached a critical event.
Tracking the Lyapunov exponent in the time domain may be a useful
indicator to predict a future event. Moreover, this approach may be
generalizable to other dynamic systems that have critical
transitions. This research helps to better understand torso
stability and build onto the foundation of knowledge to diagnose
and prevent LBP.; Finite time Lyapunov exponent, Low back pain,

flavonoid found abundantly in the diet and in supplements, and is
known to induce expression of antioxidant response genes and
proteins in a variety of cell types. The purpose of these studies
was to examine the extent that quercetin metabolites up-regulate
the antioxidant response, to identify cell signaling pathways that
might be involved, and to examine the extent that quercetin
preserves development of the osteoblast phenotype when cells are
cultured in an oxidative stress environment. We hypothesized that
quercetin metabolites would up-regulate the antioxidant response,
and that this up-regulation would protect cells from oxidative
stress-induced suppression. Studies were performed in
osteoblast-like cultures isolated from fetal rat calvaria that were
treated with 0 to 20 µM quercetin aglycone (QRC), isorhamnetin
(ISO), quercetin-3-O-glucuronide (Q3G) or a 2:1:1 mixture of all
three metabolites (10 µM Q3G: 5 µM QRC: 5 µM ISO). The antioxidant
response was assessed by measuring expression of antioxidant genes
and proteins. Results indicated that QRC and ISO robustly
up-regulated expression of two antioxidant response genes and
proteins, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and the catalytic subunit of
gamma-glutamate cysteine ligase, but Q3G had no effect. Cell
signaling protein, ERK1/2, and transcription factor NFkappaB
proteins were also down-regulated by quercetin. To examine the
effect of quercetin on oxidative stress-induced suppression of
osteoblast phenotype, cells were pretreated 12h with 20 µM QRC
followed by incubation with 0 or 300 µM hydrogen peroxide, a known
inducer of oxidative stress. Differentiation was assessed by
alkaline phosphatase staining and expression of osteoblast
phenotypic gene markers. Pretreating cells with 20 µM QRC partially
blocked hydrogen peroxide-induced suppression of osteoblast
phenotype, as indicated by higher levels of alkaline phosphatase
staining and gene expression of osteoblast phenotype markers
compared to cells pretreated with 0 µM QRC. QRC also partially
blocked hydrogen peroxide-induced up-regulation of HO-1. These
results suggest that quercetin produces a low grade antioxidant
response that "primes" cells to withstand a subsequent oxidative
stress event, which protects development of osteoblast phenotype.
These findings offer important insight into the osteoblast
antioxidant stress response, and support a link between osteoblast
stress signaling and phenotypic development.; Antioxidant response,

▼ Naturally occurring polyphenols in fruits and vegetables have been shown to exhibit anticancer characteristics. Although some roles of polyphenols in cancer
prevention have been previously described, an involvement of mitochondrial mechanisms has not been well-studied. Also, while mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified in several cancer cells and is correlated with poor prognosis, less is known about the involvement of mitochondrial changes in carcinogenesis and neoplastic transformation. In an in vitro model of cancer initiation and promotion using Bhas 42 fibroblasts, we investigated the involvement of mitochondrial changes induced by benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and possible roles of different polyphenols in preventing carcinogenesis and neoplastic transformation, through inhibiting oxidative stress, inducing mitochondrial biogenesis, and ameliorating mitochondrial dysfunction.
Bhas 42 mouse fibroblast cells were pre-treated with 5 μM polyphenols (resveratrol, quercetin, catechin, cyanidin, cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G), and berberine) for 2h for most experiments followed by treatment with 4 μM B[a]P for 12h, 24h and 72h. Different experiments including measuring intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial superoxide, gene expression, mitochondrial content, and neoplastic transformation were conducted.
B[a]P induced oxidative stress by increasing intracellular ROS and mitochondrial superoxide generation, as well as induced UCP2 expression compared to untreated cells. Most of the polyphenols prevented these effects; however, only anthocyanins (cyanidin and C3G) and berberine decreased B[a]P-induced mitochondrial superoxide generation. B[a]P induced neoplastic transformation almost 5-fold while resveratrol and quercetin inhibited this effect and resveratrol had the strongest effect, inhibiting by 75%. B[a]P also decreased mitochondrial content, as well as decreased SIRT1 activity, ERRα expression, and expression of some mitochondrial respiratory subunits (NDUFS8, ATP5A1, and CYB). All polyphenols increased at least one of these factors with different effectiveness. B[a]P exposure also produced mitochondrial dysfunction, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and ATP content by 25% and 28%, respectively, while some polyphenols such as resveratrol and quercetin completely prevented B[a]P-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. The increased mitochondrial biogenesis by resveratrol corresponded with decreased ROS generation and can be suggested as a plausible mechanism by which resveratrol inhibited B[a]P-induced neoplastic transformation more strongly than other studied polyphenols.
The study showed that B[a]P impaired mitochondrial biogenesis and induced mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and neoplastic transformation, whereas different polyphenols protected against these effects, with resveratrol showing the most robust effects. The results shed new light into mitochondrial mechanisms by which polyphenols may prevent cancer initiation and progression.
