Abstract

Background: Pain is the most common reason for medical consultation in the United States. Pain is a major symptom in many medical conditions, and can significantly interfere with a person’s quality of life and general functioning. One of the very unpleasant pain is toothache. Conventional treatments for toothache are improving oral hygiene, prescribing analgesics, anti-inflammatory, and also antibiotics if there are infection even extractions are performed if necessary. Another way to conventional approaches, patients may consider acupuncture method. Acupuncture involves the insertion of needles with the width of a human hair along the precise points throughout the body. This process triggers body’s energy normal flow through extra anatomy pathway called meridian. Purpose: This case report is aimed to emphasize the existence of teeth-organ relationships through communication channels outside the lines of communication that has been known in anatomy. Case: Two patients with toothache complaints in the lower right molars came to an acupuncturist who was a medical practitioner. In these cases pain were relieved by acupuncture analgesia. Case management: Two patients were subjected to acupuncture analgesia with different acupuncture points that were customized to the affected tooth, case 1 with the large intestine-4 (Li-4) which located in the hand and case 2 with bladder-25 (Bl-25) which located in the back of the body. Ninety percent of pain was relieved in 40 seconds. Conclusion: Pain in toothache can be relieved using acupuncture analgesia technique, using meridian as an extra anatomy pathway. Nevertheless, treating the source of pain by dental practitioner is mandatory.Latar belakang: Nyeri adalah alasan paling umum yang menyebabkan orang datang berkonsultasi kepada profesional medis di Amerika Serikat. Nyeri merupakan gejala utama dalam kasus medis, dan dapat mengganggu kualitas hidup dan kegiatan umum seseorang secara signifikan. Salah satu nyeri yang sangat tidak menyenangkan adalah nyeri gigi. Pengobatan selalu diarahkan kepada menjaga kebersihan mulut, memberikan analgesik, mengurangi inflamasi dan menambahkan antibiotik jika ada infeksi bahkan jika perlu dilakukan ekstraksi gigi. Cara lain dari pendekatan konvensional di atas adalah pasien dapat mempertimbangkan metode akupunktur. Akupunktur dilakukan dengan menusukkan jarum seukuran rambut manusia di sepanjang titik yang tepat di seluruh tubuh. Proses ini memicu aliran normal energi tubuh melalui jalur ekstra anatomi disebut meridian. Tujuan: Laporan kasus ini untuk menekankan adanya hubungan gigi-organ melalui jalur komunikasi di luar jalur komunikasi yang telah dikenal dalam anatomi. Kasus: Dua penderita dengan keluhan nyeri gigi geraham kanan bawah dilakukan terapi analgesia akupunktur oleh akupunkturis yang adalah dokter umum. Dalam kasus ini ditunjukkan bahwa rasa nyeri pada gigi dapat dihilangkan menggunakan teknik akupunktur. Tatalaksana kasus: Pasien dengan keluhan nyeri gigi, kasus #1 pada rahang bawah dilakukan terapi akupunktur pada titik Li-4 pada tangan dan kasus #2 pada titik Bl-25 pada pinggang. Pemilihan titik disesuaikan dengan keluhan pasien, menurut teori meridian dalam akupunktur. Nyeri berkurang sampai 90% dalam 40 detik. Kesimpulan: Keluhan nyeri pada gigi dapat dihilangkan menggunakan teknik akupunktur analgesia, menggunakan meridian sebagai jalur komunikasi di luar jalur komunikasi anatomi. Walaupun demikian perawatan kedokteran gigi pada penyebab nyeri yang utama adalah yang paling penting.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) eradication might serve as a robust approach for cancer eradication. MCF-7 as breast cancer continuous cell line is known to contain breast CSCs (BCSCs) for its capability to maintain its original tumor population. CSCs enriched culture is a fundamental tool for CSCs targeted therapy development. Effective and unsophisticated CSCs dedifferentiation protocol for producing CSCs enriched culture is needed.METHODS: MCF-7 cells were cultured initially in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) low glucose medium then changed to DMEM:F12. Serum starvation was performed during each medium refreshment gradually with fetal bovine serum (FBS) concentration of 10%, 5%, 2.5% until reaching 1% FBS concentration. Stable MCF-7 culture was then adapted to serum free culture system, containing DMEM:F12, epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and B27 supplement as dedifferentiation protocol for 18 days. Cluster of differentiation (CD)44 and CD24 double staining immunocytochemistry was performed to evaluate cell stemness.RESULTS: The population of cells expressing BCSCs markers (CD44+/CD24low) in non-adherent single cells subpopulation was significantly increased after the dedifferentiation procedure (70.39%) compared to control groups (0.71%) (p<0.05). In contrast, the expression of BCSCs marker in adherent single cells subpopulation and for both adherent and non-adherent mammosphere the BCSCs markers showed a stable expression.CONCLUSION: BCSCs enrichment of breast cancer cell cultures from MCF-7 breast cancer cell line can be performed. Breast cancer cell plasticity is observed during the dedifferentiation protocol. Development of dedifferentiation inducing protocols can serve as an important foundation for breast cancer therapy development through BCSCs elimination.KEYWORDS: breast neoplasms, cell line, dedifferentiation, immunohistochemistry, neoplastic stem cells

Abstract

Breathing is an absolute human need. In an emergency, airway and breathing are the main problems that must be addressed immediately. Empirically, breathing techniques that people do in general are varied. Of all breathing patterns, it is believed that there must be the most optimal. One of them is diaphragmatic breathing (DB). DB plays the role of the diaphragm as the main muscle that performs the activity of inhaling and exhaling. Optimal breathing patterns, including certain DB, have the ability to relieve several medical problems. The aim of this study was to examine whether an optimal DB pattern could alleviate some medical problems. We conducted a literature study on 40 references consisting of 27 journals and 13 other appropriate literature sources. We searched library resources using the PubMed search engine through keywords: effectiveness of breathing, DB, and breathing exercises. Literature analysis was based on requirements, including inclusion and exclusion criteria. There were 26 journals which met the criteria. Optimal DB pattern can be a solution for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, chronic stroke, congestive heart failure (CHF), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), cerebral palsy (CP), labor pain management, and anxiety. It can be therapeutic to relieve some medical problems.

Abstract

Abstract: Vitamin C is proposed as an antioxidant to combat the oxidative stress of prenatal noise exposure in bone tissue of newborn Wistar rats. Thirty-two Wistar mothers were administered oral vitamin C 150 mg/kg BW/day from D1 of pregnancy until delivery; white noise exposure of 95 dB, 4 hr/day was given from D15 of pregnancy until delivery. Newborn rats were divided into 4 groups equally (n=24): K1 (distilled water), K2 (vitamin C), P1 (distilled water + WN), P2 (vitamin C + WN). The osteoblast and osteoclast mean cell numbers, the osteoid volume, and an oxidative stress expression level marker of malondialdehyde (MDA) were calculated from two adjacent longitudinal slices of newborn rats’ tibiae using Cell Sense and ImageJ softwares (4 μ; 400x of light microscope magnification). Data were analyze using either ANOVA and LSD post-test or Brown-Forsythe and Games Howell post- test; significance level if p<0.05. In P2, the mean number of the osteoblast was significantly higher than in P1 (p<0.001); whilst the osteoclast mean number was significantly lower compared to other groups (p=0.03). In P2, the osteoid volume was significantly higher than in P1 (p=0.021); with lower MDA levels than P1 (p=0.074). From this study, vitamin C could protect the newborn rat bones exposed by prenatal noise as an oxidative stressor.Keywords: vitamin C, prenatal noise, osteogenesis, malondialdehyde

Abstract

Highlight: Epiletiform abnormalities on the EEG provide additional clinical infromation about seizures The majority of patients who have a first unprovoked seizure have an abnormal EEG (Abnormal II). Using EEG as a supporting diagnostic tool in patients experiencing their first unprovoked seizures may provide more information to improve treatment   ABSTRACT Introduction: The first unprovoked seizure is defined as a series of seizures that occur within 24 hours and are followed by recovery of consciousness with unknown triggering causes such as head trauma, central nervous system infections, tumors, or hypoglycemia. The first unprovoked seizure is a thing that cannot be underestimated. According to a previous study, less than half of those who experience their first unprovoked seizure will have another. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the supporting examinations for the first unprovoked seizure. Objective: This study aims to determine the EEG as the first unprovoked seizure supporting examination. Methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive, observational study with sampling from the patient's medical record at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya from January 2017 to December 2018 based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The EEG results in children who experienced their first unprovoked seizure were more abnormal (52.9%) than normal (47.1%), with an abnormal EEG breakdown of abnormal II (17.6%) and abnormal III (35.3%). There were no patients in this study who had EEG abnormal I. All patients with EEG abnormal II (17.6%) had an intermittent slow EEG waveform, while all patients with EEG abnormal III (35.3%) had a sharp waveform. The most common location of EEG wave abnormalities was temporal (55.6%). Conclusion: In the first unprovoked seizure, an EEG examination can assist clinicians as a seizure diagnostic assistant tool. It is hoped that the results of the EEG can provide better management of the first unprovoked seizure.

Abstract

Ponsel telah diketahui memancarkan radiasi gelombang elektromagnetik (RGEM) yang digunakan sebagai media dalam telekomunikasi. Dampak buruk akibat paparan RGEM dapat terjadi pada lapisan epitel kornea mata yang secara anatomis terletak pada bagian anterior. Kami melakukan penelitian potensi aluminium foil (AF) sebagai perisai terhadap RGEM yang diukur dengan membandingkan ketebalan lapisan epitel kornea mata tikus kelompok kontrol dan perlakuan. Masing-masing tikus dimasukkan ke masing-masing kandang paparan secara terpisah. Sumber paparan RGEM berupa ponsel GSM 2100 (Taiwan) dengan SAR 0,84 – 1,86 W/kg yang tersambung wifi yang diletakkan di bagian bawah setiap kandang paparan tikus dengan paparan 4 jam /hari. Sejumlah 32 tikus dengan usia 2-3 bulan diacak dan dibagi menjadi 4 kelompok. Kelompok kontrol tanpa paparan RGEM terbagi menjadi K1 (tanpa pemberian AF) dan K2 (dengan pemberian AF). Sedangkan kelompok perlakuan yang diberi paparan RGEM terbagi menjadi P1 (tanpa pemberian AF) dan P2 (dengan pemberian AF). Hasil yang didapatkan bahwa kelompok P1 memiliki ketebalan lapisan epitel kornea paling tipis dibandingkan kelompok lainnya, namun secara statistik tidak signifikan (uji Kruskal Wallis; p value 0,147). Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa, AF kemungkinan dapat menurunkan stres oksidatif yang memicu apoptosis pada lapisan epitel kornea mata dengan proses shielding sumber paparan RGEM.

Abstract

Starch is more easily converted to sugars and fermented into ethanol. To increase ethanol productivity, a high-gravity fermentation method was developed. Sago trees are starch-producing that do not compete with food crops, but conventional processing has a negative impact on the environment. An alternative technology to minimize environmental impact is dry fractionation, product characteristics are suitable for ethanol production. Analysis of the effectiveness the processing of sago pith and the use of products for ethanol has never been published, so the analysis is carried out based on vertical differences in stem parts and determination of the optimum conditions of the ethanol production using sago starch-rich flour. Yield, starch recovery, starch ennrichment and shift starch are observational variables for the analysis of dry fractionation effectiveness. Starch-rich flour from the results of dry fractionation of each group of stem parts is mixed with a uniform composition and used as a fermentation medium. The one factor at a time (OFAT) experiment design was used to determine the effect of variables on optimal response, and verification is carried out. The distribution of starch granule size, starch content and parenchyma fiber characteristics can affect the effectiveness . Ethanol productivity showed optimum results at liquifaction 80oC for 60 minutes, using simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF), high gravity fermentation and self-flocating yeast. The application of dry fractionation technology to obtain ethanol raw materials from sago trees has the potential to increase the added value of sago cultivation and the economic value of ethanol to be more competitive.

Abstract

Introduction: Muscles are the largest tissue group in the body and can be classified into various classifications, one of which is based on their morphological shape. Examination of muscles, especially skeletal muscles, can use electromyography. The purpose of this study was to determine whether muscles that have similar morphology have no different electromyogram.Method: This is a descriptive observational study using needle electromyography. The sample amounted to 5 with five times MUP (Motor Unit Potential) in each musculus deltoideus and musculusResult: The mean amplitude, duration, number of voltage phases and the number of voltage turns off the musculus deltoideus and musculus gluteus medius in the study subjects were similar (p-value greater than 0.05).Conclusion: Muscles that have similar morphology in each parameter of amplitude, duration, number of voltage phases, and number of voltage turns do not have a significant difference in electromyogram.
