Abstract

Background: The immune response of thalassemia patients is different from usual; therefore, thalassemia patients are susceptible to infection. A study at Thalassemia Center in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital showed that all thalassemia patients experience zinc deficiency. The decreased cellular immune response is associated with zinc deficiency, whereas splenectomy exacerbates the condition. This study aims to evaluate the improvement of cellular immune response in splenectomized thalassemia major patients after zinc supplementation. Method: Randomized double-blinded controlled trial was conducted on splenectomized thalassemia major patients in 12 weeks period. The inclusion criteria were aged > 12 years and had negative HIV test results. The subject receiving corticosteroids were excluded. Fifty-six subjects were randomly divided into two groups, the zinc group and the placebo group. Between 2 groups, data on zinc serum, T lymphocyte count, CD4+ T lymphocyte count, CD8+ T lymphocyte count, and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were evaluated at the beginning and the end of the study and were analyzed with unpaired t-test, Mann Whitney test, and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. Result: After zinc supplementation, only 18 of 28 subjects in the zinc group recovered normal zinc serum levels. There were no significant changes after zinc supplementation in all parameters of cellular immune response (p > 0.05) between the two groups. This might be due to the subjects' adherence, which was lower in the zinc group (75.82%) than in the placebo group (83.19%). Conclusion: The effect of zinc supplementation on cellular immune response in splenectomized thalassemia major patients had not been proven yet.

Abstract

BACKGROUND The recurrence rate of kidney stone disease (KSD) can exceed 50% within 5 years. This study aimed to investigate factors associated with stone recurrence based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) rs1801725 and rs1042636, demographic, and clinical profiles. METHODS We collected data on the demographic and clinical characteristics of 80 adult kidney stone formers from April 2021 to September 2022, including peripheral blood samples, morning and 24-hour urine, and 7-day water intake records. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate SNP. Comparisons were made between patients with recurrent and first-time stones. RESULTS 41% of 80 patients have experienced stone recurrence. Recurrent stone formers exhibited significantly higher 24-hour urine calcium excretion (p = 0.03) and lower serum calcium levels (p = 0.019) than first-time stone formers. Hypocitraturia (100%), low urine volume (78%), and hyperoxaluria (55%) were the main abnormalities of all patients. No significant differences were found in CaSR gene polymorphisms and other demographic, biochemical, or clinical parameters. CONCLUSIONS Recurrent stone formers had higher 24-hour urine calcium excretion and lower serum calcium levels. Other risk factors and CaSR polymorphisms may insignificantly affect KSD recurrence.

Abstract

Background Diphtheria can be effectively prevented by adequate immunization. A combined vaccine against diphtheria toxoid, pertussis, and tetanus toxoid (DPT) is currently used in routine pediatric immunizations. Outbreaks of diphtheria could emerge in Indonesia as a consequence of declining routine vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective To analyze the impact of the first (administered at 18-24 months of age ) and second diphtheria boosters (administered at 5-7 years of age ) in retaining protective levels of anti-diphtheria toxoid antibodies. We also investigated for relevant factors associated with anti-diphtheria toxoid antibody titers. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Senen District of Jakarta, Indonesia. The inclusion criteria were healthy children aged 6 to 7 years with documented history of DPT vaccination. Primary vaccination defined as 3 doses of DPT at age less than 1 year , first booster was DPT vaccination at 18-24 years of age, and second booster was diphtheria-tetanus (DT) vaccination received at 5 to 7 years of age. Peripheral blood specimens were obtained from participating children, after informed consent was provided by their parents. Antibodies against diphtheria in sera specimens were assessed by commercial anti-diphtheria toxoid immunoglobulin G (IgG) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results There were 154 children included in the study, with a female majority (61%). Overall, specific humoral immunity against diphtheria was observed in 113 children (73.4%). There was no statistical difference in immunity level between genders. Importantly, children who received the first and second diphtheria booster had significantly higher anti-diphtheria antibody level than those who did not receive both diphtheria booster (P<0.001). Conclusion Booster vaccinations are crucial among school-age children in Indonesia to improve their anti-diphtheria immunity and to minimize a risk of diphtheria outbreaks.
