Abstract

Introduction: Vapor is considered a safer alternative to tobacco cigarettes because the high nicotine content is less. However, vapor still contains substances that are classified as toxic to humans. Short-term exposure to vapors from liquids can induce an inflammatory response in the lungs and cause oxidative stress. This study aimed to determine the effects of e-cigarette vapor smoke on pulmonary alveoli in Rattus norvegicus lungs. Methods: This was an experimental study on 32 adult male Rattus norvegicus rats. They were divided into two groups exposed to nicotine-containing vapor smoke two times a day for one and three months, respectively, and one group as control. After vapor exposure, the lung tissues of the rats were taken and then subjected to histopathological examination under a microscope. Results: After exposure for one month, epithelial and endothelial cells degenerated, characterized by a decrease in collagen and elastin fibers in the extracellular matrix. For three months, there were changes, the alveolar membrane had no nucleus, the surrounding endothelial cells were not visible due to damage to the extracellular matrix, the alveolar lumen had widened, causing edema in the lumen of the alveoli, and the alveoli wall was destroyed. Therefore, the connection between the alveoli was stretched. Conclusion: This study found that short-term exposure to nicotine vapor causes damage to the alveoli membrane.

Abstract

The increasing number of deaths due to tuberculosis has triggered the national tuberculosis control program to continue to intensify, accelerate, extend and innovate the program.7A holistic approach must be taken in order to improve tuberculosis control and identify various risk factors associated with tuberculosis infection. The Global Tuberculosis Report 2018 reported that 90% of tuberculosis sufferers are adults and 10% are children (<15 years). Figure 1 shows tuberculosis sufferers worldwide, 64% are men and 36% are women with a ratio of 2:1. In Indonesia, data also shows that tuberculosis is more common in men than women. The high prevalence in men shows that the level of men accessing tuberculosis services is higher than women. Differences in social roles between men and women can also affect risk factors for access to health services. In women, access to tuberculosis treatment and prevention services is more difficult than in men. This is because family members do not want to pay for women's health services. Women's health in the family is considered less important than male family members. Tuberculosis problems also occur in vulnerable populations, namely pregnant women and women with tuberculosis-HIV. A fairly high mortality rate occurs in women with tuberculosis-HIV. In pregnant women, transmission of tuberculosis germs to the fetus occurs, so that the fetus can have latent tuberculosis. Understanding tuberculosis disease in women can help the target of eliminating tuberculosis by 2030. Gender equality and active participation of women in the planning, implementation, and health care processes can be an effective way to overcome the problems of difficulty in accessing tuberculosis services, stigma and discrimination, and various existing barriers.
