Abstract

Allergies pose significant health concerns, particularly in children, where they can adversely affect growth and quality of life. Recent studies have suggested that zinc deficiency may play a critical role in the immune dysregulation associated with allergies. The method used in This systematic review followed the PRISMA guidelines and analyzed studies on the relationship between zinc levels and allergies in children, using data from PubMed, Science Direct, EBSCO, and Cochrane Library, and a meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effect size and risk of bias assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale to examine the relationship between zinc levels and allergies in children. Our findings indicate that children with allergies may exhibit different zinc levels compared to healthy controls, with a pooled effect size of -0.56 (95% CI: [-0.99, -0.13]). The analysis revealed significant heterogeneity (Tau² = 0.39; Chi² = 79.41, df = 8, p < 0.00001; I² = 90%), highlighting the variability across studies and the necessity for further research to standardize the methodologies. These results were statistically significant (Z = 2.54, p = 0.01), suggesting a potential association between zinc levels and allergies in children. Further investigations are needed to explore whether zinc supplementation can support immune function and alleviate allergic symptoms.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Airway epithelium constitutes the initial structural defense against inhaled allergens, with its integrity primarily maintained through the formation of tight junctions (TJ) consisting of claudins, occludins, and zonula occludens (ZO). Currently, the effects of probiotics on airway TJ remain unclear. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the impact of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum IS-10506, a native probiotic from Indonesia, on bronchial epithelial TJ in a mouse model of allergic airway inflammation.METHODS: Twenty-four BALB/c mice were randomly assigned to three groups: negative control, positive control subjected to Dermatophagoides pteryonissinus (Der p) sensitization and challenge, and treatment group exposed to Der p and administered L. plantarum IS-10506 since one week before sensitization up to three weeks after. The expression levels of claudin-18, occludin, and ZO-1 were investigated through immunohistochemistry analysis and quantified based on the immunoreactive score (IRS). RESULTS: The results of this study demonstrated that L. plantarum IS-10506 significantly enhanced the expressions of claudin-18, occludin, and ZO-1 (p<0.05).CONCLUSION: These findings underscore the probiotic's role in fortifying the integrity of airway TJ.KEYWORDS: allergic inflammation, probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, immunology, respiratory system, tight junction, occludin, claudin, zonula occludens

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Probiotics may modify the gut microbiome and have been proven to improve psoriasis vulgaris. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum IS-10506 is a probiotic strain of Indonesian origin. It offers a safe and effective probiotic for psoriasis patients in Indonesia. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of L. plantarum IS-10506 on clinical and immunology markers in psoriasis vulgaris.METHODS: This randomized, placebo-controlled, and double-blind trial compared L. plantarum IS-10506 (2×1010 CFU/day) and placebo in 49 patients mild-moderate psoriasis vulgaris, which were divided into intervention (n=24) and control groups (n=25). The interventions were given twice daily for 12 weeks. Both groups received topical corticosteroid and emollient as standard treatment. Psoriasis area and severity index (PASI), dermatology life quality index (DLQI), interleukin (IL)-10, IL-17, and forkhead box protein (Foxp3) were then assessed.RESULTS: Mean PASI score for the the subjects in probiotic group was significantly reduced compared to placebo at week-6 (p=0.024), and was sustained until week-12 (p=0.049). At week-12, DLQI scores in the probiotic group were lower than placebo (7.57±5.77 vs. 7.79±5.48). IL-17 level was significantly decreased (p=0.013), while the IL-10 and Foxp3 were significantly increased (p≤0.001 and p=0.048, respectively) in probiotic group. Six months after the completion of study, subjects in probiotic group had a lower probability of flares (52.2%) compared to placebo (79.2%). Two subjects receiving probiotics and one receiving placebo noticed changes in defecation frequency, while another subject in the placebo group complained of mild nausea.CONCLUSION: L. plantarum IS-10506 might effectively improve clinical outcomes and immune biomarkers in psoriasis vulgaris patients, potentially acting as an adjuvant therapy.KEYWORDS: psoriasis, probiotic, clinical severity, immune marker, human and health

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), an acute complication of type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus (T1DM), can be precipitated by infection. Procalcitonin (PCT) is an accurate marker of bacteremia, sepsis, and inflammation, however white blood cells (WBC) are still often used by clinicians. We aimed to analyze PCT levels and WBC counts in children with DKA.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, between 2015 and 2019. T1DM and DKA diagnosis was based on the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes. PCT levels and WBC counts were measured in samples from patients with and without DKA, and were compared using the Mann-Whitney test.Results: A total of 41 samples were included, with 15 samples (36.6%) from children with DKA, and 26 (63.4%) from children without DKA. PCT levels and WBC counts were significantly higher in those with DKA (p less than 0.001). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of WBC was lower than PCT (0.849 vs. 0.982). PCT had a higher sensitivity and spesificity as an infection marker than WBC (93.3 vs. 86.7; 92.3 vs. 88.5, respectively).Conclusion: PCT is a better infection marker in children with DKA than WBC

Abstract

Highlights: 1. A questionnaire, comprising various risk factors associated with food allergies, is anticipated to provide reliable indications for determining the necessity of restrictive diets for patients within primary healthcare settings. 2. Over time, the findings of this study can facilitate the development of a streamlined and cost-effective diagnostic tool, which will be particularly beneficial in remote regions due to its practical and efficient means of identifying food allergies. Abstract In Gresik, Indonesia, limited resources have led to challenges in accurately diagnosing food allergies. This study aimed to identify risk factors for food allergies among children in Gresik using a questionnaire-based approach. The study's ultimate goal was to develop a simple diagnostic tool in primary healthcare settings. Conducted at Petrokimia Gresik Hospital, this cross-sectional study enrolled children aged ≥6 months experiencing respiratory symptoms or atopic dermatitis for ≥1 week. The subjects (n = 247) underwent a two- to four-week restrictive diet for diagnostic purposes. The questionnaire demonstrated validity and reliability. Bivariate statistical analyses were performed to examine the correlations between risk factors and the incidence of food allergies (p < 0.05). A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to establish the cut-off values for the number of food allergies and atopic family members. The majority of the 247 children enrolled in this study were 6 to 12 years old. Respiratory symptoms (56.3%) were more common than atopic dermatitis (38.1%). The significant risk factors for food allergies included atopic dermatitis (p = 0.001; R = 0.203), previous history of suspected food allergies (p < 0.001; R = 0.747), and atopy in the family (p = 0.013; R = 0.157). The ROC curve analysis established the cut-off values for the number of atopic family members at 1.5 (p = 0.005; 95% CI 0.53-0.67) and the number of food allergies at 0.5 (p = 0.000; 95% CI 0.85-0.94). In conclusion, children are considered at risk of food allergies if they display persistent respiratory symptoms or atopic dermatitis, considering the history of suspected food allergies even to only one specific type of food.

Abstract

It is expected that probiotics may act synergistically to improve the clinical efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT). The aim of this study was to investigate the role of probiotics in enhancing efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy in childhood allergic asthma. This was a randomized single blind clinical trial conducted on 6-17 year-old asthmatic children sensitive to house dust mite allergens. Subjects were allocated to Group A receiving SLIT, Group B receiving probiotics and SLIT, Group C receiving probiotics only. Clinical parameters (FEV1 reversibility, medication score, and symptom score) and immunological parameters (total IgE, eosinophil count, IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL5, IL10, and TGF-b were evaluated in week 0 until 14. Statistical analysis revealed that the difference of clinical parameters (FEV1 reversibility, medication score, and symptom score) between groups were not significant. The difference of the immunological parameters of total IgE, IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, IL5, IL10, and TGF-íŸ were also not significant. Eosinophil count decreased in subjects who received combination SLIT with probiotics. In conclusion, probiotics enhanced the efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy in childhood allergic asthma by decreasing the eosinophil count.

Abstract

Background: Scabies, a contagious skin disease, remains a global health problem to date. Based on the Global Burden of Diseases Study, Indonesia ranked 1st in 2015 and 3rd in 2021. This disease affects everyone regardless of age, sex, race, or socioeconomic status. Children and the elderly are the most vulnerable groups. Specific communities, such as dormitory residents, also have a higher risk of contracting scabies. The high prevalence of scabies among children in boarding schools deserves special attention. Purpose: To describe demographic characteristic and clinical manifestations of scabies among boarding school students. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study evaluated age, nutritional status (based on measurements of body weight, height, Body Mass Index (BMI), duration of stay in the boarding school, duration of illness, extent of affected body area, and variations in clinical symptoms. Result: A total of 41 male students with a mean age of 13.27 years were included in this study. Based on BMI-for-age-Z score (BAZ) assesment, majority (90.2%) had normal nutritional status. Regarding duration of illness, 25 individuals (61%) reported symptoms for ≤1 month, while 16 individuals (39%) experienced symptoms for > 1 month. Most participants (39 students ;95%) had stayed in the boarding school for > 3 months. In term of clinical manifestations, based on the extent of affected body areas, 22% of cases were classified as moderate, and 78% as severe. Conclusion: Fortyone individuals with a mean age of 13.27 years and good nutritional status exhibited clinical features categorized as moderate and severe.
