| Abstract | Introduction: Asthma is an important chronic disease that prevalence is increasing worldwide. In Thailand, the prevalence of asthma among children increased by over 1.8 million. To screen young asthmatic patient currently, questionnaire for asthma screening is not used in Thailand. The objective of the study was to develop the questionnaire to identify children who have risk for asthma or decreased lung function. Materials and Method: The study design was cross-sectional study in children aged 7 to 12 years, enrolled from the municipal school , Muang district, Sisaket province. The subjects were divided into 2 groups according to lung function, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) ?80% of 606 subjects (77.49%) and PEFR<80% of 176 subjects (22.51%). All participants completed the data collecting form consisting of risk factors and symptoms of asthma. A multiple logistic regression was used to measure the associations betweenPEFR ?80% or <80% as the dependent variable and risk factors and symptoms of asthma as the independent variables. Results: The questionnaire contains the following items, age, cough, wheezing and chest tightness. The value 9 was selected as the cut point for subject with increased risk of PEFR <80%. The questionnaire has sensitivity 57.95%, specificity 63.86%, accuracy 62.53%, positive predictive value 31.78%, negative predictive value 83.95% and area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve 62.88%. Conclusion: This questionnaire is simple tool to properly identify the children at increase risk for asthma or decrease lung function. It is inexpensive and efficacy.spectrometry. Results: The volatile oil contents of ginger rhizomes and capsules were in the range of 0.69 to 2.45 percent volume per weight. Gas chromatography identified 20 compounds in the volatile oil of fresh ginger rhizomes and 5 compounds in volatile oil of ginger capsules. The main component found in volatile oil of fresh ginger rhizomes and ginger capsules was zingiberene (11.9-39.5% of the area under the peaks). Mass spectrum technique and retention index based on the comparison with NIST MS library database provided consistent results in identifying compounds found in the ginger volatile oil. Conclusion: Retention index could be used to examine the compositions of volatile oil in the ginger capsules comparing to ginger rhizomes from the same sources. |
