Dimitrios Drygiannakis, Christos Lionis, Ioannis Drygiannakis, Georgios Pappas, Elias Kouroumalis; Low prevalence of liver-kidney microsomal autoantibodies of type 1 (LKM1) in hepatitis C seropositive subjects on Crete, Greece: (in English) AbstractBackgroundHepatitis C is a serious problem on the Greek island of Crete, where a high prevalence of antibodies against hepatitis C (anti-HCV) has recently been reported. This article reports the findings of a study carried out in Crete, which investigated the prevalence of serum autoantibodies in patients with chronic hepatitis C.Patients and MethodsOne hundred and forty two patients (59 men and 83 women), who were found anti-HCV seropositive in two hospitals and two Primary Health Care Centres in Crete, were eligible. Sixty healthy blood donors (46 men, 14 women), which were negative to anti-HCV, were used as the control group. They were randomly selected from those attending Rethymnon Hospital. Autoantibodies were identified using the indirect immunofluorescence (IFL) technique on human epithelial cells from larynx cancer (HEp-2 cells), rat liver-kidney-stomach substrate (CT3) and Chrithidia Luciliae (CL).ResultsSerum autoantibodies were detected in 104 HCV patients, yielding an overall prevalence of 73.2%. The most frequent autoantibodies were antinuclear antibodies (ANA), positive in 72 patients (50.7%). Anti-smooth muscle antibodies (ASMA) were detected in 33 patients (23.2%). Only one patient was positive for LKM1 autoantibodies. No autoantibodies were found in 38 patients (26.7%). Autoantibodies were also found in 5 out of the 60 examined healthy blood donors (8.3%).ConclusionsAutoantibodies, mainly ANA and ASMA are very common in HCV seropositive patients from Crete. By contrast LKM1 autoantibodies are exceptionally rare in these patients. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (2.03)

2. ... ; Assessing the knowledge of bronchial asthma among primary health care physicians in Crete: A pre- and post-test following an educational course: (in English) AbstractAimTo assess the level of knowledge for bronchial asthma of the primary healthcare physicians serving a rural population on the island of Crete, both before and immediately after a one-day educational course.MethodsTwenty-one primary health care physicians, randomly selected from a list of 14 Health Care Centres on the island of Crete were invited to participate in the study and attended an educational course. Nine of the 21 physicians were fully qualified general practitioners, while the remainder were non-specialized (NSs) physicians who had recently graduated from the University of Crete, Medical School. A questionnaire of 20 items based on current bronchial asthma clinical guidelines was used. Three scores, the mean total, knowledge subscore and attitudes subscore, were calculated for each group of physicians, both before and after the course.ResultsAt baseline mean total score and knowledge and attitudes subscores were higher for non-specialized physicians than for the general practitioners, but the differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The knowledge subscore was improved in both groups, however the difference was statistically significant only for the non-specialized physicians (t = 2.628, d.f. = 11, p < 0.05). The mean total score after the course was significantly higher for the non-specialized physicians in comparison to that of the general practitioners (t=-2.688, d.f. = 19, p < 0.05).ConclusionsThis study adds to the information about the success of continuing medical education, and also demonstrates that the recent graduates in the studied population, could be educated with more positive results than the fully qualified practitioners [Text] [View with Perseus links] (1.76)

3. ... ; Prevalence of hepatitis B and C markers in high-risk hospitalised patients in Crete: a five-year observational study: (in English) AbstractBackgroundSo far the prevalence of viral hepatitis infection in hospitalized patients has not been extensively studied. Therefore we conducted the present five-year observational study to evaluate the prevalence of HBV and HCV infection in high-risk hospitalized patients of Crete, the largest Greek island, Due to the homogeneous population, epidemiological studies can be accurately done.MethodsThe study was carried out in two out of four District General Hospitals, and in the University Hospital of the island. Markers for HBV and HCV were studied and statistically evaluated according to age, sex and geographical area, in a well-defined hospitalized population.ResultsThe total prevalence of HBsAg and anti-HCV in the three prefectures during the five-year study is 2.66% and 4.75% respectively. Overall the relative risks were higher in males than females for each hepatitis marker (p < 0.001). Higher prevalence of HBcAb was found in the 41-60 years age group for both sexes (males 36.17%, females 27.38%). Peak HBsAg prevalence was found in the age group of 21-40 and 41-60 years for males (5.4%) and females (3.09%) respectively. Anti-HCV prevalence increases with age reaching the highest prevalence in the age group of 41-60 years for males (7.19%) and in the 61-90 years age group for females (7.16%). For both sexes significant differences between the three locations were identified. For HBsAg a higher prevalence in Heraklion (3.96%) compared to Chania (2.30%, males: p < 0.0001, females: p < 0.05) and Rethymnon (1.45%, males: p < 0.01, females: p < 0.0001) was detected. For HCV a significantly higher prevalence in Heraklion (6.54%) compared to Chania (2.39%, males: p < 0.001, females: p < 0.001) but not in Rethymnon (5.15%, NS). A lower prevalence rate of HBcAb in Heraklion compared to Chania (20.07% versus 23.05%, males: p < 0.001, females: p < 0.001) was found.ConclusionsThese results were possibly overestimated, but nevertheless reflect the situation of the general population within the island as shown by our previous publications in other study groups. Moreover they contribute to the mapping of viral hepatitis prevalence in a geographical area of Southern Europe and may be helpful in planning public health interventional strategies.

1. Giard, M., Puget, J. L., Crete, E., Scoupe, F.; Excitation of Interstellar Molecules by Near Infrared PAH Photons: We have developed an excitation model for small molecules including radiative pumping by dust photons from near infrared to submillimeter wavelengths. This model applies to molecules within bright photodissociation regions in galactic star-forming regions and starburst galaxies. In such environments, the near infrared photons emitted by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules (PAHs) or small carbon grains, 5 micron < lambda < 20 micron, are able to penetrate molecular regions and pump the molecules in an excited vibration state. The far infrared and submillimeter transitions involved in the de-excitation cascade are strongly affected by this process. Their intensities can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude. We have applied this model to H2O and NH3, ortho and para species. The behaviour of the FIR rotation lines with respect to the gas density and the molecule column density is strongly modified compared to pure collisional models. At moderate densities, nH2 < 10^5 cm-3, radiative pumping dominates the excitation of the rotation ladder, and the FIR lines are good probes of the molecule column density. The near infrared absorption and emission lines predicted to appear between 6 and 7 micron for H2O and from 10 to 12 micron for NH3 can also be used for this purpose. Concerning ortho-H2O, a quasi resonant pumping of the nu2 6.18 micron transition by photons of the 6.2 micron PAH band occurs. A strong de-excitation emission line is expected at 6.64 micron., Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures, Accepted for publication in Astronomy and Astrophyhsics Main Journal [Text] [View with Perseus links] (1.21)
