Abstract

Abstract. Blastocystis hominisis a unicellular parasite classified as stramenopiles found in human and other mammals. The prevalence varies depending on the region, higher in developing country. The organism is transmitted via fecal-oral route by ingestion of oocyst contaminated food or water. Travelers also have high-risk of having blastocytstis infection. Based on recent studies, several proposed virulence factor are also identified but it remains elusive. The advanced technique has been used to describe its genetic variation and diversity that might be related to its clinical significance. There are 6 distinct morphological forms of Blastocystis including vacuolar, granular, ameboid, and cystic form. The cystic form is considered as an infective form of the organism. Exposure to animals is suggested as the other transmission route, consequently, the infection is also considered as zoonotic infection. It can produce broad clinical manifestation ranging from asymptomatic, self-limiting diarrhea until severe watery diarrhea, depends on host factors and the organism subtype. The organism can produce pruritus and urticaria, proved in literature. Since its pathogenicity remains unclear, conservative management is still suggested to all asymptomatic-symptomatic blastocytosis patients in accordance to patient’s immune status.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The presence of vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphism and high levels of inflammatory markers are predisposing factors indicating disease progression and malnutrition. To meet nutritional needs in maintaining nutritional status in tuberculosis patients with VDR gene polymorphisms (TaqI or FokI), food that is easily absorbed and high in vitamin D, calcium, and protein is needed. This study was conducted to determine whether high vitamin D and calcium porridge called soy–catfish–anchovy–rice (SCAR) porridge would increase 25(OH)D serum levels and other parameters, including calcium, albumin, high-sensivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and blood glucose serum levels.METHODS: The study was a parallel, open, clinical trial. There were 22 subjects in the intervention (I) group who received 50 g of SCAR porridge once per day along with dietary counseling, and 21 subjects in the control (C) group who only received dietary counseling. All subjects with TC and CC (TaqI) or TC and CC (FokI) genotype were included in this study. The intervention lasted for 14 days, and the parameters such as 25(OH)D, calcium, albumin, hs-CRP, and blood glucose serum levels were assessed before and after intervention between groups.RESULTS: All subjects in both groups completed the study. After 14 days of intervention, there was a significant increase in 25(OH)D (p=0.01) and decrease in hs-CRP (p=0.02) serum levels in the I group, and no change was observed in the C group. There was no significant difference in albumin and blood glucose serum levels.CONCLUSION: The results show that 50 g of SCAR porridge per day for 14 days is an effective supplementation that can increase 25(OH)D and decrease hs-CRP serum levels in tuberculosis patients with VDR gene polymorphism.KEYWORDS: vitamin D, hs-CRP, polymorphism, porridge

Abstract

ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Salah satu masalah yang sering timbul pada kulit kepala adalah pedikulosis kapitis yang disebabkan oleh kutu kepala (Pediculus humanus capitis). Kutu kepala ini akan membuat kepala terasa gatal sehingga terus-menerus menggaruk. Lama-kelamaan, garukan tersebut akan membuat kulit kepala terkelupas sehingga memicu timbulnya masalah lainnya yang bersifat lokal maupun sistemik terutama pada anak dan perempuan. Walaupun kecil, kutu kepala sangat berbahaya, karena hidup dengan menghisap darah dari kulit kepala dan menular dengan mudah ke berbagai tempat, seperti ke bantal, guling, hingga ke kepala manusia. Salah satu cara mengatasi kutu kepala adalah dengan menggunakan pedikulosida sintetis yang mudah didapat di apotek. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui efektifitas penggunaan sampo dari daun sirsak dalam membasmi kutu kepala. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental dengan menggunakan kutu kepala sebanyak 72 ekor dengan 3 kali replikasi. Kelompok uji terdiri dari kelompok P1 dengan konsentrasi larutan daun sirsak 15% dan kelompok P2 10%. Sampo P1 dan P2 masing-masing dilakukan pengenceran dengan air dengan perbandingan sampo:air, yaitu 1:1 dan 1:2. Hasil: Waktu yang diperlukan untuk mematikan kutu kepala pada kelompok P1 dengan waktu rata-rata 11 detik pada pengujian sampo:air (1:1) dan 11,67 detik pada (1:2). Adapun kelompok P2 pada pengujian sampo:air (1:1) dalam waktu 12 detik dan 12,33 detik pada (1:2). Persentase mortalitas kutu kepala pada keseluruhan kelompok uji adalah 100% dan pada P2 ratarata 12 detik dengan persentase mortalitas 100%. Kesimpulan: Sampo dari daun sirsak efektif dalam membasmi kutu kepala. Kata Kunci: daun sirsak, kutu kepala, pedikulosis kapitis, sampo   ABSTRACT Background: One problem that often arises on the scalp is pediculosis capitis caused by head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis). These head lice will make your head itch and scratching constantly. Over time, the scratching will exfoliate the scalp, triggering other local and systemic problems, especially in children and women. Although small, head lice are very dangerous, because they live by sucking blood from the scalp and spread easily to various places, such as pillows, bolsters, up to the human head. One way to deal with head lice is to use synthetic pediculicides which are easy to get at pharmacies. Objectives: To find out the effectiveness of using soursop leaf shampoo in eradicating hair nails. Methods: This study was an experimental study using 72 head lice with 3 replications. The test group consisted of group P1 with a concentration of 15% soursop leaf solution and group P2 10%. Each of the P1 and P2 shampoos was diluted with water with a shampoo:water ratio, namely 1:1 and 1:2. Results: The time needed to kill head lice in group P1 was 11 seconds on the shampoo:water (1:1) test and 11.67 seconds on (1:2) average. As for the P2 group in the shampoo:water test (1:1) in 12 seconds and 12.33 seconds in (1:2). The percentage of head lice mortality in the entire test group was 100% and at P2 an average of 12 seconds with a mortality rate of 100%. Conclusion: Soursop leaf shampoo is effective in eradicating head lice. Keywords: head lice, pediculosis capitis, shampoo, soursop leaf
