Abstract

Globally, prostate cancer (PCA) is the second leading cause of male cancer-associated mortality. Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs considered promising biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment options. A miR-141 expression is frequently dysregulated and influences the development and progression of PCA. This study aimed to identify miR-141 expression level as a marker to differentiate PCA from another prostate anomaly, especially in Yogyakarta. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues for each three groups: benign prostatic hyperplasia/BPH, high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia/HGPIN, and PCA (n=7/group) were stored in a commercial clinical laboratory in Yogyakarta. The total RNA was extracted from FFPE sections using miRNeasy FFPE kit, followed by the quantification of miR-141-3p expression level by RT-PCR. The result showed that miR-141 relative expression level on PCA was higher than other groups and significantly different (P<0.05, Kruskal Wallis test). The mean of the miR-141 relative expression level of BPH, HGPIN, and PCA were 1.04±0.87, 6.44±7.8, and 7.06±8.83, respectively. The relative expression level of miR-141 can potentially be a prognostic biomarker in PCA and could differentiate aggressiveness in prostate anomaly, especially BPH, HGPIN, and PCA.

Abstract

Ischemic/reperfusion injury (IRI) causes acute kidney injury that may lead to chronic kidney disease. We investigated the correlation between kidney interstitial cells expansion, hemoglobin level, and erythropoietin expression as the chronic effects of single and repeated kidney IRI in mice. We created an IRI model using male Swiss mice by clamping the bilateral renal pedicles. Subjects were divided into four groups that contained six mice each: control/sham operation, single acute IRI, single chronic IRI, and repeated IRI. Our results showed that the single chronic and repeated IRI groups significantly increased the tubular injury score, decreased the hemoglobin level, and increased erythropoietin expression compared with the control. Lower hemoglobin levels in all of the groups compared with the control was associated with erythropoietin resistance. In single chronic and repeated kidney IRI, there were decreased creatinine levels compared with the control. The decreased creatinine levels from the single acute IRI group to the single chronic IRI group, suggesting a repair phase of IRI starting on day 7 occurred in the single chronic IRI group. A macrophage marker, CD68, and an inflammatory mediator marker, MCP-1, significantly increased in all IR groups, indicating inflammation occurred due to IRI. In conclusion, chronic and repeated kidney IRI induced interstitial cells expansion and inflammation associated with anemia.

Abstract

ABSTRACTVascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is a common condition in which no standard treatment has been approved. VCI is often accompanied by behavioral problems which require psychiatric interventions. The common therapeutic agent used for the acute management is antipsychotic injections. Current findings showed that atypical antipsychotic possess better safety profile for treating behavioral problems related to VCI compared to typical antipsychotic. In this study, we induced VCI in Sprague Dawley rats between 6-8 weeks old using bilateral carotid communist artery occlusion technique. The subjects were divided into 4 treatment groups: sham, olanzapine, haloperidol, and risperidone groups. Subjects received intramuscular injections of subsequent drugs for 3 days post VCI induction. Impulsive behavior and object recognition were examined using cliff jumping test and novel object recognition test. The analyses results showed that impulsive behavior was lower in the olanzapine and haloperidol groups compared to sham group, although it was not statistically significant (p = 0.651). The results also showed that there were no significant differences in the time spent exploring old and novel objects in all groups (p = 0.945;0.637 respectively). In conclusion, antipsychotic injection might not be effective to control impulsive behavior post VCI induction.

Abstract

Prolonged kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is the important risk factor for leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Persistent hypoxia and inflammation are considered as the main pathogenesis of chronic injury, followed by myofibroblast expansion and fibrosis process. Tubular injury, cell proliferation, and vasoconstriction, as acute compensatory responses, are restored in chronic phase. The aim of the study was to investigate the relation between inflammation, vascular remodeling, and myofibroblast formation as response to ischemia injury after prolonged kidney ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Fifteen male Swiss mice aged 3-4 months were used as kidney I/R injury model after bilateral pedicle renal clamping. Rats were divided into 3 groups with five rats in each group i.e. control group (sham operation/SO), acute I/R model (IR1), and chronic I/R model (IR12). PAS staining was used for scoring tubular injury. Fibrosis was assessed using sirius red and a-SMA immunostaining for myofibroblast expansion. PCNA and CD68 immunostaining were used for identifying cell proliferation and macrophage infiltration. RT-PCR was conducted for assessing MCP-1, HIF-1a, and ppET-1 expression, which were quantified using ImageJ software. Data were analyzed using one way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test with significance level of p<0.05. Significantly increase of tubular injury score (p<0.001) and PCNA positive cell (p<0.001) in IR1 group compared to SO were observed, otherwise HIF-1a of IR12 enhanced (p<0.05). Macrophage cell count (p<0.01) and MCP-1 expression (p<0.05), were significantly increase in IR1 and IR12 injury, compared to SO. Wall thickness of arteries was significantly increase (p<0.05) as well as decrease of vascular lumen area (p<0.05), followed by enhancement of ppET-1 expression (p<0.01) in IR1 group and restored significantly (p<0.05) in IR12 group. Fibrosis fraction-area and myofibroblast expansion were significantly increase gradually from IR1 to IR12 injury (p<0.01). In conclusion, prolonged kidney I/R injury induces the sustainability of hypoxia and inflammatory response, which promotes myofibroblast formation, and decrease the response of vascular remodelling.

Abstract

Chronic stress produces glucocorticoid-induced neurotoxicity that may lead to alterations of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentration in the brain. Cerebellum is known to be severely affected by glucocorticoids-associated oxidative damage. Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. may protect neurons from oxidative damage. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ethanolic extract of C. asiatica (L.) Urb. leaf on the rat cerebellar BDNF levels following stress. Twenty young-adult male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned into four experimental groups. The stress control group received aquadest, and the other groups were treated with different doses of the C. asiatica (L.) Urb. extract i.e 150 (CeA150), 300 (CeA300) and 600 (CeA600) mg/kg body weight/day orally, respectively and followed by chronic footshock stress for 28 days. Upon completion of the experimental period, all animals were sacrificed and the cerebellar was isolated. The BDNF levels from the cerebellar tissue lysate was measured using ELISA. The mean BDNF levels of the cerebellar tissue in the stress control, CeA150, CeA300 and CeA600 groups were 1217.10±301.40; 771.46±241.45; 757.05±268.29; and 627.00±246.02 pg/mL, respectively. Post-hoc analysis showed a significant difference between the control and treatment groups (p< 0.05). In conclusion, the ethanolic extracts of the C. asiatica (L.) Urb. leaf decrease the cerebellar BDNF levels in rats after chronic stress.

Abstract

The most frequent cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) is ischemia reperfusion injuriesthat causes inflammation. Furosemide is still used in AKI’s therapy. The advantages anddisadvantages of furosemide in AKI remain controversial. The aim of the study was toinvestigate the effect of furosemide on kidney damage in AKI rat models. Twenty-fivemale (2-3 months old) Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups; sham operation(SO, n=5), ischemic-reperfusion (IR, n=5), IR+furosemide 3.6 mg/kgBW (IR+F1,n=5), IR+furosemide 7.2 mg/kgBW (IR+F2, n=5), and IR+furosemide 14.4 mg/kgBW(IR+F3, n=5). Abdominal surgery was performed under ketamine anesthesia to produceischemic reperfusion (IR) by mean of renal artery clamping for 45 min. Urine output,serum creatinine level, tubular injury score, and TLR4 gene expression were examinedto investigate kidney damage. Periodic acid-schiff (PAS) staining was measured toexamine kidney tubular injury. Data were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test with significance level of p<0.05. AKI rat models which were given 3.6 and7.2 mg/kgBW of furosemide (0.014±0.001 mL/min; and 0.012±0.007) showed higher(p>0.05) creatinine clearance compared to IR (0.009±0.003) while administration of 14.4mg/kgBW furosemide (0.009±0.004) denoted equal creatinine clearance to IR (p>0,05).Kidney tubular injury score of 3.6 mg/kgBW furosemide (2.89±0.13) was lower (p>0.05)than IR (3.26±0.19) whereas 7.2 mg/kgBW and 14.4 mg/kgBW furosemide (3.55±0.26;3.83±0.19) were higher (p<0.05) than IR. Administration of 3.6 mg/kgBW furosemide(0.99±0.08) indicated lower (p<0.05) TLR4 gene expression than IR (1.20±0.08) whilst7.2 mg/kgBW furosemide (1.23±0.13) was not-significantly higher (p>0.05) and 14.4 mg/kgBW furosemide (1.63±0.12) was significantly higher (p<0.05) than IR. In conclusion,administration of 3.6 mg/kgBW furosemide reduces kidney damage in AKI rat modelswhile higher dosages (7.2 mg/kgBW and 14.4 mg/kgBW) increase kidney damage.

Abstract

Inflammatory processes might play a key role in the pathogenesis of post-stroke epilepsy. The activation of microglia and release of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM1) might induce blood-brain barrier (BBB) disintegration. However, the influence of such pathomechanisms in the generation of post-stroke epilepsy is still not clear. We investigated whether cerebral ischemia exerts effects on inflammation in the hippocampus by measuring the hippocampal injury score, expression of a microglial marker, and expression of VCAM1 in rats. A total of 24 Sprague Dawley rats were randomized into four groups with 6 rats in eachgroup i.e. sham operation (SO) as control, carotid ligation 1 (GCL1) as an acute model, carotid ligation 3 (GCL3) as a subacute model, and carotid ligation 7 (GCL7) as a chronic model. Immunostaining for microglia marker (CD68) was measured in rat brain tissue sections. The VCAM1 expression was evaluated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Cerebral ischemia increased the amount of microglial immunostaining and expression of VCAM1. The hippocampal injury score and microglial immunopositivity were significantly correlated with the duration of brain ischemia. We conclude that cerebral ischemia is correlated with neuroinflammatory reaction and disturbance of BBB permeability, and the correlation of those molecular impairments with the generation of post-stroke epilepsy remains to be elucidated.

Abstract

Pegagan (Centella asiatica L) has been traditionally used to treat wounds, disordered nerve system, blood circulation, and prevent muscle disorders. Extract of Pegagan was considered safe and non-toxic as the acuut and chronic toxicity tests on male SD rats were not significant. It meant that further study was potential to be proceeded. Study of C.asiatica on muscle function of the elderly has not been done, therefore this study is aimed to observe  effects of C.asiatica extract on muscle masses, holding hands, walking speed (4.57 meter), walking test (6 minutes), and Time Up and Go test of the elderly. This study is designed for clinical double blind study with 2 groups of people, these are C. asiatica (18 people) treated with capsul (550 mg C. asiatica extract/day for 90 days) and placebo (17 people). This study is performed in the RSUP Dr. Sardjito hospital at the geriatric division. Subjects for this study were healthy elderly people and fit with the criteria of subjects for experiment. Result of the study, muscle masses do not decrease and all the measurements are not different with that of placebo. Except that the walking speed (6 minutes) of the treated subjects is better than that of the placebo. The conclusion of the study, the capsul containing C. asiatica extract (550 mg, once a day for 90 days) increases the strengh of hands holding, and the walking test (6 minutes) almost twice better than that of the placebo although the muscle masses does not increase significantly.

Abstract

Medical uses of three-dimension (3D) printing have advantages for many importances, such as tissue and organ fabrication, creation of prosthetics, and model structural anatomy. Visualization of 3-dimensional structure of heart for the importance of examination, management or education is not fully comprehensive describe toward the complexity of anatomical structure and also toward the illustration of medical procedure. The aim of this study was to identify the potential application of heart’s 3D printing for the enhancement of case understanding for doctor, medical students or residents and also for patient and its family. A normal model of heart is used in this research to stimulate next 3D object in cardiology area.We retrieved data from patients’ CT scan performed in Gadjah Mada University Hospital, Yogyakarta from December 2017 to March 2018. Our focus is on normal heart anatomy. Data from CT scan results are exported into Digital Imaging and Communications format (DICOM), then dimension measurement and threshold segmentation are performed using Mimics Medical 20.0 (Materialise) application. Finally the file must be exported into STL format due to final process to cut the desirable parts using Mesh editing application. After the final model has been done, then it will be printed by fuse deposition method to make a 3D object.The making and implementing 3D printingof heart model has many advantages for medical education especially for the doctor, medical students or residents and also for the patient and its family to be more aware on the condition of the heart. This study may stimulate another trial of using this technique into several heart abnormalities
