Comparison between Single and Three Times Pre-operative Administration of Amoxicillin in the Prophylactic Effects for Surgical Site Infections in Japanese Patients with Mandibular Third Molars Extraction

Although the dosage of oral antibiotics (OA) for the mandibular third molar extraction (MTME) varies among the administration periods according to the current guideline, our previous reports suggested that it might be possible to further shorten the administration period without increasing the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI). In the present study, we retrospectively evaluated the relationship between the incidence of SSI and the administration period of OA in patients who underwent the MTME in our hospital. This retrospective cohort study included 348 patients who underwent the MTME in our dental outpatient clinic from June 2020 to March 2022. The administrated antibiotic was amoxicillin (AMPC) in all patients. Patients were divided into two groups based on the administration period of AMPC single and three times before the surgery. The following information was collected: (1) patient factors (age, gender, body mass index, diagnosis, mandibular third molar status); (2) surgical factors (operation time, presence/absence of wound closure, presence/absence of hemostat, experience of surgeons); (3) relationship between administration period of OA and SSI occurrence; and (4) details of SSI. There were 217 cases in the single group and 131 cases in the three times group. The incidence of SSI was 1.1％ (4/348), with 1.4％ (3/217) in the single group and 0.8％ (1/131) in the three times group; there was no signiˆcant diŠerence between the two groups. Our result suggests that single administration of AMPC before the MTME would be su‹cient for the prevention of SSI in Japanese patients without risk factors.

Trehalose has been used in the foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics industries due to its multifunctional properties. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of trehalose as a partial replacement of sugar on the physicochemical properties of the brown rice tofu during storage. As a result, the L* values for the brown rice tofu without trehalose addition and with the application of 1% trehalose decreased significantly with the passage of the storage day. In contrast, 10% trehalose replacement provided a marked positive effect on the color retention of the brown rice tofu, especially whiteness index, suggesting the prevention of the browning of the brown rice tofu. The water content of the brown rice tofu with incorporation of 10% trehalose was significantly high when compared with other tested brown rice tofu after 7 days of storage, resulting in suppression of the hardening of the brown rice tofu. In addition, the incorporation of trehalose could be suppressed the microbial growth on the brown rice tofu. This study proved that a partial replacement of sugar with trehalose, especially 10% trehalose, could be beneficial on the prevention of the quality degradation and improvement of the shelf life, such as prevention of the browning and suppression of the hardening and microbial growth of the brown rice tofu during storage.

In Japan, many academics and practitioners have focused on anime-induced tourism as one of the new alternative forms of tourism in the 21st century. Many fans have visited locations that have appeared in anime as film-induced tourists. Regarding the behavior of anime-induced tourists, many tend to be willing to contribute to the destinations they visit as eco-oriented volunteers, different from purely film-induced tourists. Therefore, anime-induced tourists possess a complex character that entails both an interest in film-induced tourism and volunteer tourism, which may conceptually be opposed to one another. This study reveals anime’s potential as a driver of new volunteer tourism and theoretically contributes to tourism research by redefining anime-induced tourism by relying on the concept of film-induced voluntourism. Using a comparative case study of the behavior of anime-induced volunteer tourists at three destinations, this study found that while anime-induced volunteer tourists have a feeling of gratitude for their host communities with a vacationer’s mindset, they can realize positive outcomes, including economic benefits and problem solutions by engaging in cleaning-up activities at the destinations they visit. In conclusion, this study clarifies that anime tourism is one of the significant alternative forms of tourism that can achieve community development associated with film-induced voluntourists, resolving the negative effects of film-induced tourism and volunteer tourism.
