Abstract

Background: Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a malignant tumor located in the nasopharynx, which can be treated by Cisplatin, a chemotherapy that has a side effect of increasing the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that can damage the liver. We aim to determine the effect of giving Mahkota Dewa (Phaleria macrocarpa) as an antioxidant on liver function of NPC patients receiving Cisplatin chemotherapy. Subjects and Method: Forty subjects of stage III and IV Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma patients were divided into treatment and control groups. Subjects will be tested for SGOT SGPT before cisplatin chemotherapy. The treatment group was given Phaleria macrocarpa capsules 300 mg/24 hours for 5 weeks since a week before chemotherapy. The control group was given placebo capsules/24 hours for 5 weeks since a week before chemotherapy. The patients received two series of cisplatin chemotherapy with an interval of 3 weeks, then a second blood sample was taken 1 week after the second series of cisplatin chemotherapy.Results: There was a significant difference in SGOT levels in the post-treatment group of Phaleria macrocarpa and control, as well as the difference in the pre- and post- treatment group between the Phaleria macrocarpa and control groups. Also, there was a significant difference in SGPT levels in the pre- and post- treatment in the Phaleria macrocarpa and control groups.Conclusion: The administration of Phaleria macrocarpa has an effect on decreasing the levels of SGOT and SGPT in NPC patients receiving Cisplatin chemotherapy therapyKeywords: Phaleria macrocarpa, SGOT, SGPT, Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, CisplatinCorrespondence: Adi Januar Akbar.

Abstract

Introduction: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a genetic, non-familial skeletal disorder, where in medullary bone is replaced by fibro-osseus tissue. Ninety percent of FD instances involve the craniofacial region, which usually involves one or more bones. The ethmoid, sphenoid, frontal, maxillary, and temporal bones are the most affected, but the maxilla is most affected. Misdiagnosis and inappropriate diversity in investigations and therapies are frequently caused by the disease’s rarity and varying presentation to other specialties. This study aims to analyze the signs, symptoms, and laboratory-radiology examinations of suspected FD patients at Dr. Kariadi General Hospital Semarang so that it can increase the sensitivity of medical personnel in establishing this diagnosis based on the symptoms and signs complained of by the patient.Case Presentation: A case series study assessing three patients diagnosed with FD of the maxillae between January and December 2021 at Dr. Kariadi General Hospital, Semarang. The study found 3 patients diagnosed with FD of the maxillae consisting of 2 males and 1 female. The initial complaints reported in all patients were progressive facial pain, thick sensation in the cheek area, and asymmetrical facial shape due to abnormal protrusions. Physical examination found an increase in facial volume with a hard consistency. CT scan evaluation obtained a sclerotic image with ground glass opacity in two patients and hyperostosis in one patient. Surgery with the Weber Ferguson technique was undergone by two patients, while one patient underwent the Weber Ferguson Technique + Zoledronic Acid for 6 cycles. Both patients who underwent Weber Ferguson technique surgery experienced recurrence related to symptoms in the form of pain and increased volume in the facial area within 2–4 weeks after surgery.Conclusions: Patients with complaints of progressive pain and asymmetrical shape in the facial area and physical examination found an increase in facial volume with hard consistency should be able to increase the suspicion of medical personnel regarding the diagnosis of FD. Further radiological examination with tissue histopathology should be performed to rule out or confirm the diagnosis of FD.
