Abstract

Herbal medicine is growing quite rapidly, especially in every area that has traditional medicine using natural ingredients that are believed to treat disease. In addition, the use of herbal medicines is believed to have fewer side effects compared to conventional medicine. WHO also recommends the use of traditional and herbal medicines in efforts to maintain health, as well as prevent and treat diseases ranging from mild to chronic diseases. Based on the various problems faced, the purpose of implementing community service is to increase public knowledge and understanding of medicinal plants, independent health screening, and self-medication, and the role of supplements (vitamins and herbs) in health care and disease prevention efforts.

Abstract

The inflammatory condition, marked by pain, swelling, and elevated TNF-α levels, prompted the exploration of cherry leaves' flavonoids, known for their anti-inflammatory properties. An in vivo experimental study with a pre-and post-test control group design was conducted to compare the efficacy of cherry leaf extract (Muntingia calabura L.) in the Wistar rat model of acute gout arthritis. Five treatment groups (negative control (Na-CMC 0,5%), positive control (Colchicine), cherry leaf extract dose 200mg/kgBW, cherry leaf extract dose 400mg/kgBW, and cherry leaf extract dose 800mg/kgBW) were administered to Wistar rats to compare their ability in reducing TNF-α levels. Results revealed the extract's significant efficacy in reducing TNF-α levels at all doses compared to negative control. There is no significant difference among the three different doses compared to colchicine as a positive control. In conclusion, cherry leaf extract demonstrated significant efficacy as an anti-inflammatory agent by reducing TNF-α levels in acute gout arthritis rat models with the most efficient dose of 200mg/kg BW.

Abstract

Introduction: Closed thoracic trauma is frequently associated with rib fractures and pulmonary contusions. Thoracic trauma can be life-threatening if it is not treated immediately and properly. This study aimed to determine the relationship between thoracic trauma scoring and mortality in blunt thoracic trauma patients in sub-population Indonesia, especially at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang, Indonesia. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional observational study. A total of 70 research subjects participated in this study. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS in univariate and bivariate to determine the relationship between thoracic trauma scoring and mortality. Results: There is a significant relationship between CTS scores and mortality (p = 0.000). Patients with a CTS score ≥ 5 were significantly more at risk of dying than patients with a CTS score < 5 (p = 0.000). Conclusion: There is a relationship between CTS score and blunt trauma patient mortality thorax at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang, Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become the gold standard for managing symptomatic gallstone disease. However, a subset of patients requires conversion to open cholecystectomy (OC) due to intraoperative difficulties. The difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy scoring system (DLCSS) has been proposed to predict the likelihood of conversion. This study aimed to validate the DLCSS in a single-center setting and assess its predictive accuracy for conversion to OC. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent LC at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang, Indonesia, between January and December 2023. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data were collected. The DLCSS was calculated for each patient, and its correlation with conversion to OC was analyzed using statistical methods. Results: A total of 30 patients were included in the study. The conversion rate to OC was 3.3%. Statistical analysis revealed a weak negative correlation between the DLCSS and conversion to OC (r = -0.318, p = 0.087), suggesting that higher DLCSS scores were associated with a slightly increased likelihood of conversion, although this association was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The DLCSS demonstrated limited predictive value for conversion to OC in our single-center study. Further research with larger sample sizes and diverse patient populations is needed to confirm the utility of the DLCSS in predicting conversion and to identify additional factors that may contribute to intraoperative difficulties during LC.

Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a persistent autoimmune disorder marked by immunological dysregulation and widespread inflammation.  Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), a pivotal pro-inflammatory cytokine, has been associated with the pathophysiology of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), although its clinical relevance is still debated.  This study aims to assess the connection between serum TNF-α levels and disease activity, as quantified by the Mexican Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (MEX-SLEDAI), in Indonesian patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).  A cross-sectional study was performed including 34 patients exhibiting mild-to-moderate systemic lupus erythematosus activity (MEX-SLEDAI ≤12) at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital in Palembang, Indonesia.  Individuals with significant active disease were excluded.  Serum TNF-α concentrations were quantified via a commercial ELISA kit, while disease activity was evaluated through MEX-SLEDAI.  Correlation analysis was conducted using Spearman’s rank test, with p < 0.05 being statistically significant.  The average age of participants was 33.6 ± 11.0 years, with 94.1% identifying as female.  The median MEX-SLEDAI score was 3 (range 2–7), and the median TNF-α level was 1.834 pg/mL (range 0.99–8.62).  No substantial connection was detected between serum TNF-α levels and disease activity (r = 0.111, p = 0.533).  This suggests that serum TNF-α levels did not correlate with or forecast clinical disease activity in this investigation.  The results indicate that the efficacy of TNF-α as a biomarker in SLE may be contingent upon contextual factors, especially illness severity.  Additional multicenter and longitudinal studies involving individuals with a broader spectrum of disease activity are necessary to elucidate its clinical significance.

Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by persistent inflammation and oxidative stress, which contribute to the progression of the disease.   Lipid peroxidation is indicated by malondialdehyde (MDA).   The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the correlation between serum MDA levels and disease activity in patients with mild to moderate systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).   This investigation was a cross-sectional correlation analysis that employed baseline data from adult patients with systemic lupus erythematosus who were receiving conventional treatment.   Spearman's correlation was employed to determine the relationship between serum MDA levels and disease activity, which was evaluated using the MEX-SLEDAI score.   The study encompassed 38 patients with mild to moderate SLE.   The MEX-SLEDAI score was 3 (range 2–7), and the median serum MDA concentration was 1.42 µmol/L (range 0.90–1.99).   Spearman's correlation analysis demonstrated a moderately positive correlation between serum MDA levels and MEX-SLEDAI scores (r = 0.415, p = 0.010), indicating that elevated oxidative stress is associated with increased disease activity in SLE patients.   A considerable positive correlation between serum malondialdehyde levels and disease activity is statistically significant in patients with mild to moderate systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).   These results support the existence of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of lupus and suggest that MDA may serve as a potential biomarker for disease monitoring.

Abstract

BackgroundTumor cells have the ability to change the phenotype of inflammatory cells in the tumor environment into protumoral factors. One ofthe mediators produced such as interleukin 17 (IL-17) also plays a role in increasing tumor proliferation and invasion. Similar to IL-17,Ki67 has generally been used as a marker to assess the extent of breast carcinoma proliferation. This is the first study to determinethe relationship of IL-17 expression with Ki67 proliferation index of breast carcinoma patients.MethodsThis is a case series study using 38 paraffin block samples of breast carcinoma patients. The clinicopathological characteristicsdocumented are age, histopathological subtype and grade, TILs (tumor infiltrating lymphocytes) and molecular subtypes. Interleukin17 and Ki67 expressions were assessed using immunohistochemistry examination and data were analysed using the Pearson andSpearman test to assess correlations between the two variables.ResultsGeneral characteristics of the sample in this study were breast cancer patients aged >40 years (73.7%), histopathological subtypesof non-specific invasive carcinoma (84.2%), high tumor rates (78.9%), non-dominant TILs (94.7%) and molecular subtype luminal B(55.3%). There is no relationship between IL-17 expression and Ki67 proliferation index (p 0.72 and OR of 1.417), even though lowerexpression of IL-17 showed a higher Ki67 proliferation index.ConclusionExpression of IL-17 cannot describe the Ki67 proliferation index in breast carcinoma. Studies using another analytical techniques andlarge sample size are suggested to obtain more accurate results.

Abstract

BackgroundInteraction between cancer cells and tumor microenvironment plays roles in cancer proliferation and invasiveness. Many type ofcytokine produced by inflammatory cells in tumor stroma could stimulate tumor proliferation and invasiveness, such as interleukin-17.The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between IL-17 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer.MethodsSerial cases study was performed by enrolling 40 paraffin block of breast cancer patients. Clinicopathological characteirstics werenoted, including age, histopathological subtype and grade, TILs, lymphovascular invasion and molecular subtype. TILs were scoredby denomination area of stromal tissue occupied by mononuclear cells over total stromal area. Expression of IL-17 was examined byusing immunohistochemistry with anti-IL-17 antibody and counted from stromal mononuclear cells cytoplasm staining from five areas.The average value was used as a cut-off point in determining level of expression. Data were analysed by using SPSS v.22.ResultsMajority of the patients were more than 40 years old (75%), histopathological grade III (77.5%), without lymphovascular invasion(62.5%), luminal B molecular subtype (57.5%), and non-dominant TILs (95%). IL-17 expression was not significantly correlated withclinicopathological characteristics with p value=0.079, 0.600, 0.739, 0.883 and 1.000 respectively for age, histological grade,lymphovascular invasion, molecular subtype and TILs.ConclusionInterleukin-17 expression and clinicopathological on characteristics of breast carcinoma between histopathological grade, TILs, andlymphovascular invasion showed no significant differences. There was a tendency that the higher IL-17 expression, the higherhistopathological grade, the lower TILs and positive lymphovascular invasion

Abstract

Purple sweet potato extract (Ipomoea batatas L.) has hepatoprotective potential due to its antioxidant properties. This study evaluated the effect of purple sweet potato extract (PSPE) on gentamicin-induced hepatotoxicity in male Wistar rats. Thirty rats were divided into five groups: negative control, positive control, and PSPE-treated groups receiving 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg body weight (BW). Hepatotoxicity was induced using gentamicin for seven days, followed by extract administration for fourteen days. Caspase-3 expression was analyzed using immunohistochemistry, while fibrosis was assessed using Masson’s Trichrome staining and METAVIR scoring. One-way ANOVA showed significant differences in Caspase-3 expression among groups (p ¡ 0.001). PSPE was associated with reduced Caspase-3 expression and attenuated hepatic fibrosis, with the strongest effect observed at 200 mg/kgBW. Histopathological evaluation showed predominantly METAVIR grade F0 fibrosis at doses of 100 and 200 mg/kgBW. These findings suggest potential hepatoprotective effects of PSPE in this preclinical model of gentamicin-inducedhepatotoxicity.
