Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Dyslipidemia is a lipid metabolism abnormality marked by increase or decrease of lipid fraction in the plasma. Statin or 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor is an important dyslipidemia medication that may induce apoptosis of the skeletal muscle.Decrease of Bcl-2 and Bax ratio causing caspase-9 activation followed by caspase-3 activation occur in apoptosis. Moderate intensity physical exercise (MIPE) decreases DNA fragmentation, increases Bcl-2 protein level and decreases Bax transcript level.Methods: Thirty healthy BALB/C strain Mus musculus divided into 3 groups: first intervention group with statin only treatment (S), second intervention group with statin treatment plus MIPE using motorized treadmill (ST), and control (C) group with no statin and nor exercise. The duration of treatmentwas 28 days. Statin treatment dose was 2.06mg/kg bodyweight. Measurement caspase-3 was done by immunohistochemistry evaluation and the expression of capase-3 was calculated by cells count which expressing caspase-3.Results: There were more muscle cells expressing caspase-3 in the S group (47.00±12.92cells) than the C group (2.70±1.94 cells); p=0.000, the ST group (21.44±10.13 cells) than the C group (p=0.001), as well as S group and the ST group (p=0.000).Conclusion: Moderate intensity physical exercise can decrease caspase-3 expression in statin treated subject.Keywords: apoptosis, caspase-3, dyslipidemia, moderate intensity physical exercise, statin.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of pelvic floor muscle exercise programs for men with erectile dysfunction problems.Methods: A randomized controlled group designed study. Sixteen men with erectile dysfunction who had undergone pharmacological treatment from the Andrology Clinic and were referred to thePhysical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department Dr. Soetomo Hospital were divided into 2 groups. The first group was treated with pelvic floor muscle exercises for 12 weeks, while the second groupacted as control. The parameters of this study were evaluated in weeks 4, 8 and 12. This consisted of an evaluation of pelvic floor muscle strength, which was performed by digital anal assessment, and pressurebiofeedback Myomed 932. The evaluation of erectile function was based on the IIEF-5 (International Index of Erectile Function – 5) questionnaire and the EHS (Erectile Hardness Score).Results: An increase in the maximum contraction of pelvic floor muscles was seen in the intervention group after 8 weeks of treatment (p=0.011). Six subjects in the intervention group (75%) gained anormal anal strength based on digital anal assessment at the end of study. The IIEF-5 score of the intervention group improved after 8 weeks of treatment (p=0.012). Threesubjects (37.5%) in the intervention group got a maximum hardness score and 4 subjects (50%) gained an improvement of the hardness score.Conclusion: Comparing of the results of the protocol reported here shows that pelvic floor muscle exercises improve erectile function in men with erectile dysfunction problems.Keywords: pelvic floor muscle exercises, biofeedback, erectile dysfunction
