Abstract

BackgroundRadical cystectomy (RC) is the gold standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma. A predictive factor is needed for the aggressive approach as it could lead to overtreatment. Elevated blood cell count (BCC) markers are reported to have a significant association with poor outcomes in several types of malignancy. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte-ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are well-known inexpensive and effective representative markers of inflammatory conditions. This study aimed to determine the BCC as a predictive factor of overall survival (OS) in patients with bladder carcinoma (BC) after RC. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 26 patients who had undergone RC. The demographic characteristics and BCC markers such as hemoglobin (Hb). NLR, PLR and lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR) were collected. The patients were categorized based on the BCC marker value (³ median and < median). Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was done to determine overall survival (OS) on BCC markers. The association between patient demographics and one-year survival was also determined using Mantel-Cox (Log-rank) method. ResultsAmong the 26 patients, the mean age was 55.6 ± 12.9 years. On univariate analysis, none of the demographic characteristics was found to be a significant predictor of one-year and overall survival (p>0.05). Hemoglobin, NLR, PLR and LMR were not significant predictors of one-year survival and OS (p>0.05). ConclusionsThe BCC was not a significant predictive factor of survival in patients with bladder cancer after radical cystectomy.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate five years of survival rate, and quality of life of the patient after radical nephrectomy in our center. Material & Methods: This descriptive longitudinal study included thirty patients who were diagnosed as having renal mass in the Urology division H. Adam Malik General Hospital between January 2014 and December 2015. All patients were completely followed-up for 5 years or the patient died during the observation. We used a translated and validated Indonesian written European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Version 3.0 (EORTC QLQ-C30) questionnaire to assess the patient’s quality of life. Results: Overall 5-years survival of kidney tumor patients was 100%, 66.67%, 50%, 8.33%, respectively for stage 1 to 4. We found a sharp decrease in the cumulative survival rate of stage IV group in the first 24 months compared to the first 12 months, from 66.67% to 25%. This pattern of decrease was not found in the other group of stage. Overall, the quality of life of patients has increased in the first three years postoperatively and decreased in the two years afterward. These fluctuations consistently occur in all groups. All of the groups had reached the maximum quality of life at the third year postoperatively. Conclusion: Stage I renal cell carcinoma patient shown the best five-years survival rate and quality of life among others. The quality of life for all groups inclined for the first three years after surgery and decline consistently afterward. These findings are in accordance with many studies that have been published previously.

Abstract

Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and apoptosis-modulating potential are just a few biological activities that have garnered much interest in natural food-derived components during the past two decades. Mahkota Dewa fruit (Phaleria macrocarpa) has several beneficial pharmacological activities. This study investigated whether Mahkota Dewa fruit extract (Phaleria macrocarpa) reduced malondialdehyde levels in blood samples of white rats (Rattus norvegicus) generated by excessive physical activity. The samples for this study were white rats (Rattus norvegicus) weighing 160-200 gr and 2-3 months old. The independent variable was the Mahkota Dewa fruit extract (Phaleria macrocarpa). The dependent variable was excessive physical activity-induced malondialdehyde levels in white rats (Rattus norvegicus). The average Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels show that the group given 5 ml of the Mahkota Dewa fruit extract (Phaleria macrocarpa) had tremendous success in lowering MDA levels compared to the other groups. The results of the observations and data analysis show that administration of the extract can reduce MDA levels significantly in male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) because of too much exercise.

Abstract

Obesity is a global, non-communicable condition that causes male infertility. Obesity impacts spermatogenesis and male fertility. Butterfly pea blossoms (Clitoria ternatea) contain antioxidants that fight free radicals and prevent obesity. This research looked at how butterfly pea flower extract (Clitoria ternatea) affected cholesterol levels, testicular function, and the histopathology of the testicles of obese male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). This research is quantitative and uses a lab or actual experiment. The 24 test mice were randomly divided into four groups. The research data was analyzed using SPSS 25.0 for Windows. The normality test significance is 0.577. One-way ANOVA test results demonstrate 0.000 or greater than 0.05 significance. LSD post-hoc test values. The control and treatment groups 1–3 differed significantly (p = 0.000). No change was seen between treatment groups 2 and 3 (p = 0.088). The research found butterfly pea flower extract therapy (Clitoria ternatea) at 400mg and 600 mg/kgBW lowers cholesterol. Flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and triterpenoids reduce cholesterol and improve testicular function in obese white rats.

Abstract

Abstract : Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a systemic disease with hyperglycemia, and can cause Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Nanoherbal of andaliman has an antioxidant effect on the body. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of nanoherbal of andaliman on liver function and liver histopathology. Method: This study used an experimental method with a post-test-only control group design of 30 male wistar rats induced with streptozosin, divided into 6 groups with nano herbal of andaliman as the testing material. Results: There is no difference in the liver function (SGOT and SGPT) between the groups that are given andaliman and the ones that do not with the p values of 0,183 and 0,449 (p>0,05). There is a difference in liver histopathology between the groups with the p-value of 0,03 (p<0,05), it also shows that the groups that are given andaliman experienced liver degeneration. Conclusion: Nanoherbal of andaliman has the antioxidant effect that acts as hepatoprotection, but also includes some substances that can cause damage to the liver cells. The writer suggested adding more samples, doing the pre-test and post-test examinations, and also analyzing the effect of the steroid and terpenoid in andaliman on the liver cells.
