Abstract

Plasma leakage is a state of increased vascular permeability due to loss of interendothelial junction and focal adhesion. Endothelium glycocalyx plays a major role in the pathogenesis of plasma leakage. Proteoglycans glycocalyx consists of heparan sulfate (HSPG) around 50-90%. Plasma leakage in dengue infection can be fatal and early detection is essential. This study aimed to determine the optimal cut-off value of HSPG levels for early marker of plasma leakage in dengue infection. The study was a retrospective cohort study as a part of the Community Based Dengue Study of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, which was conducted between February 2010 and January 2011. Subjects were recruited by consecutive sampling. Dengue infection was confirmed by conventional PCR serotyping. Subjects were categorized into 2 groups, i.e. those with and without plasma leakage. Plasma leakage was confirmed by hemoconcentration or hypoalbuminemia or USG results. The level of HSPG was measured using the ELISA method from the first until the third day of the hospital admission. A total of 40 subjects were involved in this study, consisting of 21 with leakage and 19 without leakage. The optimal cut-off level of HSPG as a marker of early plasma leakage in dengue infection patients on the 1st day, 2nd day, and 3rd day was was 2179.73 pg/mL, 2538.66 pg/mL, and 1294.06 pg/mL, respectively. HSPG could as an early marker of plasma leakage in dengue infection with an optimal cut-off value for each of the first 3 days of the patient's fever. A pediatric study was recommended to obtain the optimal cut-off value for HSPG.

Abstract

The development of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines is closely linked to advancements in mRNA manufacturing technology. Structural modifications, such as replacing uridine with 1-methylpseudouridine (1mψ), enhance translation efficiency and help the mRNA evade immune detection. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) serve as an effective delivery system. Vaccines like BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 target the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike (S) protein, prompting B cells to produce neutralizing antibodies that block the RBD from binding to the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, preventing infection. These vaccines also stimulate adaptive immune responses by activating CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, with mRNA functioning as an endogenous antigen. Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) present the vaccine antigens via major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and II pathways, with CD8+ T cells recognizing MHC class I and destroying infected cells, while CD4+ T cells recognize MHC class II and assist in B cell maturation and antibody production. While mRNA vaccines have proven effective in neutralizing SARS-CoV-2, challenges remain, including the decline in neutralizing antibody titers over time and the emergence of new viral variants.

Abstract

A study has been carried out to compare the expression of miRNA-21 and miRNA-143 with target mRNA PDCD4 and BCL-2 in cases of early-stage cervical cancer compared to advanced stages. These data can be used as information for the development of non-invasive cervical cancer prognostic methods. The study was conducted by taking serum samples and exfoliativecell samples from normal subjects and subjects with cervical cancer detection and then analyzed using qRT-PCR. Samples of cervical cancer patients consisting of 15 subjects and 4 normal subjects were used to obtain relative quantity values for the expression of miRNA-21, miRNA-143, mRNA PDCD4 and BCL-2. In the study of miRNA-21, there was no significant difference in determining cervical cancer with p>0.05 using the t-test (0.594) and a significant relationship was found between miRNA 21 and PDCD4 with a strong correlation (p<0.05, r = -0.563; Pearson). The relationship between miRNA-143 and the Bcl-2 target gene in this study showed a weak and insignificant correlation (r = -0.101; p > 0.05; Pearson). There was a significant relationship between miRNA-21 and PDCD4 in early-stage and advanced-stage samples, while the relationship between miRNA-143 and the Bcl-2 mRNA target gene showed no significant correlation.

Abstract

Pendahuluan : Demam dengue adalah penyakit infeksi yang sering dijumpai di Indonesia. Ada empat serotipe dari virus penyebab demam dengue (DENV): DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, dan DENV-4. Studi sebelumnya mendapatkan bahwa tingkat morbiditas dan insiden demam dengue berhubungan langsung dengan strain virus yang terdapat di suatu area. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui strain virus dengue yang paling sering ditemui di Jakarta. Metode : Studi prospektif dilakukan dengan total 67 pasien dari komunitas dan puskesmas di Jakarta yang mengalami demam kurang dari empat puluh delapan jam dan didiagnosis secara klinis mengalami infeksi dengue berdasarkan standar WHO. RT-PCR dilakukan untuk mengetahui serotipe DENV yang paling sering ditemukan pada pasien. Hasil : Serotipe DENV yang paling sering ditemukan adalah DENV-2 (35,82%). DENV-3 adalah serotipe yang kedua tersering (20,89%) dari total pasien terinfeksi. Dari seluruh pasien, 17,91% mempunyai DENV-1 dan 8,95% DENV-4. Dari gejala klinisnya, 13,43% dianggap negatif dengue setelah tes konfirmasi. Infeksi gabungan antara DENV-4 dan DENV-1 ditemukan pada 1,49% pasien. Infeksi gabungan DENV-3 dan DENV-2 ditemukan pada 1,49% pasien. Diskusi : Hasil studi ini menunjukkan bahwa serotipe DENV yang paling sering ditemukan di Jakarta adalah DENV-2. Hasil ini berbeda dengan penelitian sebelumnya yang menemukan bahwa DENV-3 adalah serotipe yang paling sering ditemukan pada pasien di Indonesia. Perbedaan ini disebabkan lokasi studi yang berbeda, yakni studi sebelumnya dilakukan di rumah sakit, sedangkan studi ini dilakukan di komunitas dan pusat kesehatan masyarakat.

Abstract

Background:  Dengue fever is a disease caused by the bite of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with the dengue virus. Dengue virus infection can lead to hemorrhagic fever and even death. Currently, treatment for dengue infection is supportive, as there are no commercially available antiviral drugs. Nicotiflorin, a compound found in cassava leaves (Manihot esculenta Crantz), has shown potential as an antiviral agent against dengue. Aims: This study aimed to determine the inhibitory effect of the flavonoid nicotiflorin, derived from cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) leaves, as an antiviral agent against dengue virus serotype 1 (DENV-1) in vitro. Methods: A post-test-only control group design was utilized in this experimental research, comprising one control group alongside thirteen treatment groups. For the cytotoxicity assessment, the treatment groups were exposed to seven varying concentrations (1.25 µg/mL, 2.5 µg/mL, 5 µg/mL, 10 µg/mL, 20 µg/mL, 40 µg/mL, and 80 µg/mL), while six different concentration levels (1.5 µg/mL, 3.125 µg/mL, 6.25 µg/mL, 12.5 µg/mL, 25 µg/mL, and 50 µg/mL) were employed in the inhibition assay. The control group received 0.2% DMSO as a negative control. Antiviral inhibition was assessed using the Focus Forming Unit (FFU) Assay, while cytotoxicity was evaluated using the Microtiter Tetrazolium Assay (MTT Assay). Statistical analyses included the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, the Kruskal-Wallis test for hypothesis testing, and post-hoc analysis to assess significant differences among treatment groups. Results: The CC₅₀ and IC₅₀ values of nicotiflorin from cassava leaves were determined to be 19.24 μg/mL and 0.9550 μg/mL, respectively, yielding a Selectivity Index (SI) of 20.14. These findings indicate that the flavonoid nicotiflorin from cassava leaves exhibits selective antiviral activity against DENV-1 replication. Statistical analysis revealed a non-normal data distribution (P < 0.05), a significant difference among groups based on the Kruskal-Wallis test (P < 0.05), and no statistically significant differences among specific concentrations in the post-hoc test. Conclusion: Nicotiflorin from cassava leaf (Manihot esculenta Crantz) has inhibitory activity on the replication of dengue virus serotype 1 strain in vitro.
