Abstract

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and Procalcitonin (PCT) are biomarkers that represent inflammatory activity and immune status as predictors for the prognosis of COVID-19 patients. NLR values and PCT levels are positively correlated with the severity of COVID-19, but the relationship between the two biomarkers is unclear. Objectives: To analyzed the correlation between NLR values and PCT levels in COVID-19 patients in Jember Regency. Methods: This cross-sectional analytic observational study, conducted from March to April 2022, took data from 444 confirmed COVID-19 patients at the Jember Clinic Plantation Hospital. Secondary data were obtained from medical records of inpatients for the period January–December 2021. Results: The average NLR value was 8.58, while the average PCT level was 0.43 ng/mL. The results of the Spearman Correlation Analysis showed a positive correlation between NLR values and PCT levels in COVID-19 patients in the Jember Regency with a p-value = 0.00 and a moderate degree of correlation with an r count of 0.41. Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between NLR values and PCT levels for COVID-19 patients in Jember Regency. It is necessary to carry out routine NLR and PCT examinations to consider predictors of disease severity and prognosis in COVID-19 patients.Keywords:  COVID-19, NLR, PCT

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is an urgent health issue that leads to one of the most significant cardiovascular complications worldwide, diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), which is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Chronic hyperglycemia and oxidative stress are major contributor for DCM. Analog rice based of MOCAF and corn starch is a functional food recommended as nutritional supplementation to replace staple foods in T2D patients. Analog rice has a high fiber content, high resistant starch and low glycemic index, which can help lower blood sugar levels and prevent DM complications. MOCAF in analog rice is also rich in phenolic compounds, which has potential effect of antioxidant. Metformin is the first line oral therapy for T2D. The present study investigates the potential effects of an analog rice diet in combination with metformin, for the development of DCM. Type 2 diabetic rats were induced by HFD/STZ method and was treated by analog rice and metformin for 4 weeks. Myocardial cell death measured by pyknotic nuclei percentage was analysed. The study result demonstrate that analog rice and metformin prevent the myocardial cell damage observed in type 2 diabetic animals, highlighting analog rice potential as adjuvant therapy, for treating DCM has no clinical significance than metformin therapy alone.
