Abstract

The existence of leprosy or kusta or Morbus Hansen or Hansens disease has been known for years, including in Indonesia. Starting from the discovery of Mycobacterium leprae isolates from ancient bone (about 1.000 years B.C), the archaeological excavations results in East Nusa Tenggara, interesting questions arise about how the development of leprosy in eastern Indonesia is. Biology molecular study would become a powerful tool to investigate the presence of leprosy bacillary whether there are similarities between the genomes of M. leprae isolates in the primeval and the present. PCR examinations were performed on mandibular bone fragments from ancient human who lived 1000 years B.C. discovered in archaeological surveys on the island of Lembata and three leprosy patients from East Nusa Tenggara. The DNA extraction was performed using a kit from Qiagen products and its TTC repeating pattern was seen with the method of direct sequencing. It turned out that the TTC profile obtained from samples of archaeological was as many as 13 copies, while the repetition of TTC in three samples of leprosy patients were 15, 17 and 26 copies. The different number of TTC repetition shows the different isolates of M. leprae between in the ancient times and the present. Further studies are needed to verify the differences in the genome that occur, for example from the study of SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms).

Abstract

The drug resistant problem of Mycobacterium leprae has been developing since the last decade and this has become a leprosy elimination problem in several countries, including Indonesia. Using biological on molecular methods, it is now possible to test for drug resistant cases in relatively simple and less time consuming ways. The purpose of the study is to analyze theprevalence of drug resistance M. leprae to dapsone and rifampicin in East Java based on the etection of mutations in the folP and rpoB genes. All samples were obtained from multibacillary leprosy patients in East Java, who have admitted to the Dr Sutomo Hospital Surabaya in 2003-2005. Isolates were analyzed by PCR, and the presence of nucleotide sequence of the folP and rpoB genes from M. leprae were confirmed by direct sequencing. Of 94 specimens which were collected, all were analyzed for their folP and rpoB genome. From 94 isolates, 70 showed a positive result by the folP1-folPR test and 77 out of 94 isolates showed positive by the rpoBF-rpoBR test. From 70 isolates for folP gene examination, there were 3 isolates which had mutation in the amino acid at codon 53; 2 cases Threonin (ACC) became Alanin (GCC) and 1 case Threonin (ACC) became Arginin (AGA). These mutations are responsible to dapsone resistance. For the rpoB gene, no mutation was found. The result suggested that 3 isolates (4.3%), 1 from a new case and 2 from relapse cases in this experiment, were resistant to dapsone and all isolates (100%) were susceptible to rifampicin.

Abstract

Multidrug therapy (MDT) regiment has been used for leprosy all over the world for more than 20 years. Drug resistances of Mycobacterium have been reported from many areas. The resistance mostly occurred due to mutation on the gene coding protein targeted by anti-leprosy drugs. Two hundreds and seventy M. leprae isolates from some area in Indonesia were examined for studying the profile of mutation among isolates collected during 2003-2011. Drug resistance determining region of the folP1 gene and the rpoB gene was sequenced. The results showed 5 isolates of M. leprae harboured mutation only in the folP1 gene and another isolate harbored mutation in both the folP1 and rpoB gene. The point mutation in the folP1 gene that was found in 2 isolates occurred in codon 53 (ACC→GCC; Thr→Ala). Double point mutations on codon 53 that was found in two isolates were ACC→AGA (Thr→Arg) and ACC→AGG (Thr→Arg). The point mutation in the folP1 geneoccurred in codon 55 were found in two isolates were CCC→CTC (Pro→Leu) and CCC→CGC (Pro→Arg). Whereas mutation in the rpoB gene in one isolate occurred in codon 410 was GAT→TAT (Asp→Tyr). These mutations that altered the amino acids of the protein revealed that isolates of M. leprae were resistant to drug with variable profiles

Abstract

Background: Vulvovaginalis candidiasis (VVC) is an infection caused by various types of Candida, themost is Candida albicans. Candida produces two main enzymes that play a role in virulence, the secreted aspartyl proteinase (SAP) enzyme and the phospholipase enzyme. SAP is most widely produced by Candida albicans,which is one of the main pathogenicfactor of Candida infection. SAP is often found in cases of recurrent candidiasis vulvovaginalis (RVVC) Purpose: To evaluatethe SAP activity produced by VVC patients isolates. Methods: Descriptive observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 21 VVC patients to determine the SAP enzyme levels in VVC patients in Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Division, Outpatient Clinic Of Dermatology and Venerology, Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya.Vaginal smear was examined to determine levels of SAP and culture examination to determine the kind of candida spesies that causes VVC. Results: Total subject of study are 21 patients. Twelve of  21 patients had SAP > 20 mm in diameter, 7 patients with SAP < 20 mm in diameter, and 2 patients with negative results of SAP. Fifty patients due to Candida albicans, 6 patients caused by non-albicans. Nine patients were accompanied by diabetes mellitus (DM), 1 patients by genital affection, 2 patients by condylomata acuminata. Additionally obtained in 10 patients who had previously received treatment with the results diameter SAP > 20 mm and 7 patients with of SAP diameter < 20 mm, 2 patients showed negative results of SAP. Conclusions: SAP was mainly produced by Candida albicans. SAP became more active in VVC patients that accompanied by diabetes melitus, affectiogenitalis, condylomata acuminate, and also in some patients who have received prior antifungal therapy.Key words: secreted aspartyl proteinase, vulvovaginalis candidiasis, Candida albicans,

Abstract

Background: In the last decade there has been inceasing prevalence of viral infections in the world, this led to increased efforts to find a variety of new drugs and vaccines against the virus that causes. Purpose: To disccuss the provision relating to the use of immunomodulators in viral infections. Review: Some diseases caused by viruses such as varicella, herpes zoster, herpes simplex, condyloma acuminata, molluscum contagiosum and Human immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV). Immunomodulator also known as biological response modifier, a wide variety of materials imunoaugmentor is either recombinant, synthetic, or natural medicines that returns an imbalance of the immune system that is used in immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a treatment approach by restoring, enhancing, or suppresing the immune response. Immunomodulator administration on viral infections gave varying results. Conclusion: Immunomodulatory regimens on viral infections is an attractive therapeutic approach, because the side effects are often lighter than the side effects of drugs that have been there, in addition to the more rarely cause resistance to treatment of diseases caused by viral infection.Key word: viral infection, immunomodulator, immune response.

Abstract

Background: Clinical manifestations of leprosy depends on host’s immunity. Regulatory T (Treg) cells are known as CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ have roles in immune respons to maintain homeostasis. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β are one of cytokine that is secreted by Treg cells. Treg cells are thought as unresponsiveness T cells (anergy) to Mycobacterium leprae and caused disease’s progression to lepromatosa. Purpose: To evaluate expression of TGF-β on Treg cells from patient leprosy’s skin lession. Methods: Design of study was cross-sectional, descriptive observation involving 18 leprosy patients who visited the Leprosy Division, Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Clinic, Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya. Biopsy from skin lession were performed then continued with histopathological examination. The type of leprosy was determined by clinical and histopathological examinations. Expression of TGF-β on Treg cell were performed by double staining immunohistochemistry in Biomoleculer and Pathology and Anatomy Laboratory at Brawijaya University, Malang. Result: Numbers of mid-borderline type (BB) leprosy’s patients were 2 (11,1%),  9 (50%) patients with borderline lepromatosa (BL) type, and 7 (38,5%) patients with Lepromatosa (LL) type. Mean expression of TGF-β on Treg cells from skin lession’s leprosy on BB type was 12 ± 2,12 cells/field of view, on BL type was 16 ± 3,64 cells/fields of view and on LL type was  22± 3,69 cells/field of view.
