Abstract

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep breathing disorder caused by upper airway  obstruction. It occurs on 51% adult and could cause systemic side effects. Hypertrophy of the palatine  and lingual tonsils cause upper airway obstruction and increasing cytokine IL-6 production. Obstruction and inflammation products have an important role in causing OSA. Inflammation of the palatine tonsil causes lingual tonsil to be inflamed. Purpose: To find out the impact of tonsillectomy on size and IL-6 expression of lingual tonsil. Method:The quasiexperimental open label pre and post test design was done on August 2010 – October 2011. There were 20 adult subjects with snoring, palatine and lingual tonsil hypertrophy. All subjects filled the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) questionnaire, underwent ENT examination and biopsy using fiber optic rhinolaryngoscope. Immunohistochemistry examination for IL-6  were performed on all biopsy specimens. Results: There is highly significant improvement on lingual  tonsil size score from 3 to 1 after tonsillectomy. IL-6 expression was significantly decreased from 12 to 2 after tonsillectomy. ESS score was also significantly decreased from 16 to 5. The reducing size of lingual tonsil correlates with decreasing of IL-6 expressions. Conclusion:Tonsillectomy on OSA patients reduced the IL-6 expression of the lingual tonsil and that cause the reducing of its size. Decreasing of obstruction and inflammation could lead to the decrease of the ESS score. Keywords: OSA, tonsillectomy, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, lingual tonsil size, IL-6 expression    Abstrak :  Latar belakang: Henti napas obstruktif saat tidur (OSA) merupakan gangguan napas saat tidur yang terjadi karena obstruksi saluran napas atas. Keluhan ini terjadi pada 51% orang dewasa dan menimbulkan efek samping sistemik berat. Pembesaran ukuran tonsil palatina dan tonsil lingualis akan menyebabkan obstruksi saluran napas atas dan mengakibatkan peningkatan produksi IL-6, sehingga akan menyebabkan OSA. Inflamasi yang terjadi pada tonsil palatina membuat tonsil lingualis mengalami inflamasi. Tujuan: Untuk melihat pengaruh tonsilektomi terhadap ukuran dan ekspresi IL-6 tonsil lingulis. Metode: Penelitian quasiexperimental open label pre and post test design di Poliklinik IK. THT-KL RSHS Bandung sejak Agustus 2010 – Oktober 2011. Subjek 20 orang dewasa dengan keluhan mendengkur, pembesaran tonsil palatina dan tonsil lingualis. Seluruh subjek mengisi kuesioner skala kekantukan Epworth (Epworth Sleepiness Scale/ESS), biopsi tonsil lingualis dengan rinolaringoskopi serat optik lentur dan imunohistokimia IL-6 jaringan biopsi. Hasil: Didapatkan perbaikan yang sangat bermakna skor ukuran tonsil lingualis sebelum tonsilektomi (3) dibandingkan setelah tonsilektomi (1). Nilai ekspresi IL-6 menurun sangat bermakna dari 12 menjadi 2. Skor ESS menurun secara bermakna dari 16 menjadi 5. Pengecilan ukuran tonsil lingualis berhubungan dengan penurunan ekspresi IL-6. Kesimpulan: Tonsilektomi pada pasien OSA dapat menurunkan ekspresi IL-6 pada tonsil lingualis, sehingga ukuran tonsil lingualis mengecil. Hilangnya obstruksi dan inflamasi mengakibatkan skor ESS menurun. Kata kunci: henti napas obstruktif saat tidur, tonsilektomi, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, ukuran tonsil lingualis, ekspresi IL-6

Abstract

Latar belakang: Aktinomikosis merupakan infeksi bakteri kronis yang jarang ditemukan (1:300.000orang per tahun). Berbagai faktor risiko dapat mengakibatkan infeksi tersebut, sehingga pengobatan perludilakukan berdasarkan etiologi dan faktor risiko.Tujuan: Melaporkan dan menganalisis kasus yangjarang, yaitu aktinomikosis di hipofaring dan laring pada penderita dengan HIV-positive, yang menutupidua-pertiga inlet laring dan sfingter esofagus atas.Kasus: Laki-laki berusia 21 tahun datang dengankeluhan sulit menelan dan rasa mengganjal di tenggorok sejak 2 bulan. Pada pemeriksaan rinolaringoskopididapatkan massa berbenjol pada tonsil lingualis dan supraglotis. Hasil biopsi menunjukkan peradangankronis karena Actinomyces sp. Metode: Pencarian literatur dilakukan melalui Pubmed, Proquest, ClinicalKey, dan Google Scholar, dengan tidak membatasi tahun pencarian jurnal. Berdasarkan kriteria inklusi daneksklusi, didapatkan tiga artikel yang telah dilakukan critical appraisal. Hasil: Tidak ditemukan publikasimengenai kasus aktinomikosis servikofasial pada pasien dengan human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)positif. Tiga artikel yang ditemukan menunjukkan bahwa aktinomikosis dapat timbul pada pasien yangimunokompromais dalam jangka waktu lama. Pada tiga artikel yang dianalisis, manajemen aktinomikosisdapat dilakukan dan memberikan hasil yang baik karena telah diketahui faktor risiko sebelumnya. Namunpada kasus ini, infeksi HIV (+) sebagai faktor risiko baru ditemukan setelah manajemen aktinomikosis,dengan tindakan pembedahan dan medikamentosa sehingga memengaruhi outcome dari manajemen pasientersebut.Kesimpulan: Analisis faktor risiko pada aktinomikosis, seperti keadaan defisiensi imun akibatinfeksi HIV, perlu diinvestigasi secara mendalam sehingga dapat memperbaiki outcome manajemen pasien.Kata kunci: Aktinomikosis, disfagia, faktor risiko, defisiensi imun, human immunodeficiency virus ABSTRACTSBackground: Actinomycosis is a rare chronic bacterial infection that could be found in humans(incidence rate is 1 per 300,000 per year). There are various risk factors which can promote infection,and the treatment should be based on etiology and risk factors. Purpose: To present and analyse a caseof HIV-positive 21-year-old man with cervicofacial actinomycosis in hypopharynx and larynx, closingtwo-third of laryngeal inlet and upper esophageal sphincter. Case: A 21-years old man came with chiefcomplain of swallowing difficulty and blocking sensation in the throat. Rhinolaryngoscopy revealedcauliflower-like masses on lingual tonsil and supraglottic. Biopsy result showed chronic inflammation dueto Actinomyces sp. Method: Search of literatures was conducted on Pubmed, Proquest, Clinical Key, andGoogle Scholar without limiting years of journals. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, threearticles were obtained as full texts and considered useful for the authors to be analysed.

Abstract

Background: Hearing function is one of the most important factors affecting children’s development process. The first three years of life is a golden period of growth and development of children. This study was conducted to investigate the hearing profile of children below three years old at Jatinangor Integrative Health Care Center (Pos Pelayanan Terpadu, Posyandu), West Java, Indonesia.Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted to 86 children below three years old who was selected by using multistage cluster sampling at 12 Posyandu in Jatinangor sub-district by using in-depth interview related to hearing loss risk factors, reaction test, and tympanometry test.Results: The hearing loss prevalence of children below three years old in the Jatinangor sub-district was 7.0%. Of the 86 children, there were 2.3% (n=2) children with moderate conductive hearing loss, 1.2% (n=1) children with moderate sensorineural hearing loss, and 3.5% (n=3) children with very severe sensorineural hearing loss. Fifty percent of children with sensorineural hearing loss were discovered without any risk factor.Conclusions: The prevalence of hearing loss in children under three years old at the Jatinangor Integrative Health Care Center is slightly higher than the national prevalence. Fifty percent of children are found without risk factors, therefore Universal Newborn Hearing Examination (UNHS) needs to be implemented at the national level in accordance with the guidelines of the Joint Committee for Infant Hearing (JCIH) in which are integrated with primary health care units, tertiary health care centers otorhinolaryngology, and also the audiological center.
