Abstract

Background : Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is an behavioral disorder included in multifactorial disease. Several theory said that genetics factor, parental age, immunologic dysfunction, chemical induced, heavy metal intoxication and oxidative stress are related to ASD. A study about genetics and environmental factor is very important. High polymorphism of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes were reported in autism population. The measurement of heavy metal concentration in hair specimen has been done to know excretion ability of the body. GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null polymorphism in subjects with autism, reflect individual vulnerability for environmental induced, such as heavy metal. Objectives : The objectives of this study was to know the frequency of GSTM1 null and GSTT 1null od ASD patients compare to the wildtype and the heavy metal concentration (Pb and Hg) of ASD patients Methods: Blood samples and hair specimen were collected from thirty eight autism children of Autism School in Semarang, Surakarta and Probolinggo. The Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction was used to analyze GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene. The GSH and GSSG concentration were done using ELISA. Heavy metal (Pb) concentration of hair specimen were done using  Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Results : The higher frequency of GSTM1 null & GSTT1 null were obtained in ASD children compared to the wildtype. The average of  Pb concentration reached beyond the maximum standart (3,34 ppm).

Abstract

Background : Spermatozoa have a limited amount of antioxidants that cause spermatozoa to be susceptible to oxidative stress by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Mosquito repellent contains the active ingredient Pyrethroid which is one example of external factors that cause DNA damage through oxidative stress. This results in the emergence of secondary metabolites that can act as free radicals, then these free radicals follow the circulation of blood throughout the body including the testes which will cause the process of spermatogenesis to be disrupted and will ultimately affect the quality of the spermatozoa produced. Objective :  To find out the effect of giving beetroot juice (Beta vulgaris) on the morphology of spermatozoa of male Wistar rats that exposed to mosquito coil smoke. Method : This study uses an experimental study, with the type of research design is post test only control group design. The population used in this study were male Wistar rats (Rattus novergicus). The research sample was selected by simple random sampling. Analysis of the data used in the study is an analysis with one way anova test. Results : The mean morphological morphology of normal spermatozoa are: Group K (-) = 96.40; Group K (+) = 88,40; P1 group = 90.80; P2 group = 94.40. One Way ANOVA test found significant differences between the five treatment groups. Post-Hoc Test found significant differences between K (-) with K (+), K (+) with P2, P1 with P2, P1 with K (-). While in the other groups, there was no significant difference in the morphological percentage of spermatozoa. Conclusion : The giving of beet juice can affect sperm morphology Wistar rats that exposed to mosquito coil smoke.Keywords : spermatozoa, bit juice, antioxidant, free radical

Abstract

Background: Low plasma total glutathione (tGSH) levels, elevated levels of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and low ratios of tGSH to GSSG in autism were reported. Glutathione S-transferases (GST) are antioxidant enzymes that play important role in cellular detoxification and the excretion of environmental pollutants including heavy metals. Glutathione S-transferase mu (GSTM1) and Glutathione S-transferase theta (GSTT1) are known to be highly polymorphic. Homozygous deletions of these genes result in lack ofenzyme activity and impaired the ability to excrete metals including mercury. Combined effects of mercury (Hg) accumulation coupled with decreased levels of antioxidants (low glutathione and antioxidant enzymes) contribute to the phenotypic presentation of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Association of GSTM1 null genotype with autism has been reported. Therefore the preliminary study was performed to investigate the role of GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null as risk factor of ASD associated with phenotype expression.Method: Fifty one ASD patients were recruited from special need & autism school and 45 controls from Semarang & Solo. Blood veins samples were collected and genomic DNA was extracted by salting-out method in CEBIOR Semarang. Genotyping for GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene was done in UMBI Malaysia. Multiplex PCR was performed and PCR products were separated on 1.2 % agarose gel, stained with ethidium bromide and visualized on UV transiluminator. GSTM1 & GSTT1 gene product is about 625 bp and 459 bp. Absence of GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene band was interpreted as GSTM1 null & GSTT1 null.Results: The frequency of GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null in ASD higher compared with control group but the difference is not statistically significant (p=0.357, OR=0.504; 95% CI 0.117-2.168 and p=0.364, OR=0.674; 95% CI 0.287-1.580). There is also no statistically different in the distribution of GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null between mild to moderately autistic and severely autistic (p=0.983, OR=0.980; 95% CI 0.158-6.095 and p=0.439, OR=1.633; 95% CI 0.471-5.656).Conclusion: GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null are not risk factor of ASD. Further investigations are needed with a bigger sample size, analyzing multiple GST genes and GST activity determination to find out the gene susceptibility of ASD and factors that contribute to the phenotype expression of ASD.Keywords: GSTM1 null, GSTT1 null, risk factor, autism spectrum disorder ABSTRAKApakah GSTM1 Null dan GSTT1 Null merupakan faktor risiko autism spectrum disorder? Studi pendahuluanLatar belakang: Pada autism ditemukan bahwa glutathion total plasma (tGSH) rendah, oxidized glutathione (GSSG) meningkat dan rasio tGSH terhadap GSSG rendah. Glutathione s-transferase (GST) merupakan enzim antioksidan yang berperan penting dalam proses detoksifikasi seluler dan ekskresi polutan lingkungan termasuk diantaranya logam berat. Polimorfisme gen GST mu (GSTM1) dan GST theta (GSTT1) cukup tinggi. Delesi homozigot gen GSTM1 dan GSTT1 yang menyebabkan berkurang sampai tidak adanya aktivitas enzim GST serta menurunnya level antioksidan berkontribusi terhadap risiko ASD. Oleh karena itu dilakukan penelitian pendahuluan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara gen GSTM1 null dan GSTT1 null sebagai faktor risiko ASD dengan ekspresi fenotip.Metode: Lima puluh satu pasien ASD dari SLB dan sekolah autis serta 45 kontrol dari Semarang dan Solo diambil darah vena, kemudian diekstraksi dengan metode salting-out diCEBIOR Semarang. Pemeriksaan genotip gen GSTM1 & GSTT1 dilakukan di UMBI Malaysia. Metode yang digunakan adalah PCR multipleks, setelah itu produk PCR dipisahkanpada 1,2% gel agarosa kemudian dicat dengan ethidium bromida dan hasilnya dilihat menggunakan transiluminator UV. Besar produk untuk GSTM1 & GSTT1 adalah 625 bp &459 bp. Tidak adanya band untuk gen GSTM1 & GSTT1 diinterpretasikan sebagai GSTM1 null & GSTT1 null.Hasil: Frekuensi gen GSTM1 null dan GSTT1 null pada ASD lebih tinggi dibandingkan kontrol tetapi tidak ditemukan perbedaan yang signifikan (p=0,357, OR=0,504; 95% CI0,117-2,168 and p=0,364, OR=0,674; 95% CI 0,287-1,580). Distribusi gen GSTM1 null dan GSTT1 null pada autis ringan sedang dan autis berat juga tidak ditemukan perbedaan yang signifikan secara statistik (p=0,983, OR=0,980; 95% CI 0,158-6,095 and p=0,439, OR=1,633; 95% CI 0,471-5,656).Simpulan: GSTM1 null dan GSTT1 null bukan merupakan faktor risiko ASD. Penelitian lebih lanjut sangat diperlukan dengan jumlah sampel yang lebih besar, analisis gen GSTmultipel dan pemeriksaan aktivitas GST untuk mendapatkan gen faktor risiko ASD dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi ekspresi fenotip ASD.

Abstract

Background: The most restoration material used currently in dentistry was composite resin. The newest generation of composite resin was bulk-fill composite resin. The bulk-fill composite resin had advantages of lower polymerization contraction and a more straightforward and faster restoration technique. One of the factors which could affect the hardness of composite resin was the consumption of acidic drinks. The acidic beverage that people often consumed is coffee. A few coffee brewing methods were espresso and drip brewing.Objective: This research aimed to identify the effects of coffee soaking through espresso and drip brewing methods on bulk-fill composite resin's hardness.Methods: his research was experimental research, with a post-test control group design and a total sample of 27 samples. The soaking process was taken for seven days at a temperature of 37˚C on artificial saliva, espresso, and drip brewing coffee methods. The hardness of bulk-fill composite resin was measured after seven days by using Vickers hardness. The statistic test exerted One-Way ANOVA.Results: This research found a significant difference in bulk-fill composite resin's hardness among all groups, p-value = 0.00 (p<0.05). The result of the post-hoc LSD test showed a significant difference in the change of bulk-fill composite resin hardness between the artificial saliva group and espresso group (p=0,00) and no significant difference found between the artificial saliva group and drip brewing group (p=0.85).Conclusion: Soaking with espresso coffee has the smallest hardness value compared to soaking with drip brewing coffee and artificial saliva, so soaking with espresso coffee is the most influential on the hardness of the bulk fill composite resin.

Abstract

Caregivers of children with special needs experience a high workload, which causes stress and low quality of life. A compassionate love attitude amongst caregivers is needed to improve the quality of parenting. This study aims to develop a compassionate love parenting training program to reduce stress among children with special needs caregivers. The method employed was Pre-experimental Design, with One-group Pre-test-Post-test. The research participants were 40 care­givers identified using the purposive sampling technique. In the pre-test, the stress level of the caregivers was measured using the Parental Stress Scale with 24 items (α = .828). The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test to observe the differences between the pre-test and post-test of two dependent samples. The results show that the stress score decreased significantly, with Z = -2.023 and with a significance level of .043 < .05. It is demonstrated that regular training in compassionate love parenting reduced the stress felt by caregivers of children with special needs. The implementation of compassionate love parenting training in special needs therapeutic centers is important, as it is one of the intervention methods that has been proven to reduce the level of stress to optimize the growth of the child.

Abstract

Children with special needs require caregivers to care for them and provide full or partial assistance in the carrying out of their daily activities, including undergoing therapy, going to school, receiving medication, and performing their daily routines. This can cause stress and a burden of care for caregiver, meaning that caregivers require emotional competence; this study aims to develop a model of such competence. Using a cross-sectional, correlational quantitative approach, data were collected from 120 caregivers selected purposively from the Yamet Foundation in Central Java. The research instruments were the Profile of Emotional Competence, Centrality of Religiosity Scale, Resilience Scale, and the Parenting Stress Scale. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with Lisrel. The findings reveal that the proposed model successfully captures the relationships between parenting stress, resilience, religiosity, and emotional competence. Parenting stress significantly and negatively affects emotional competence, with a path coefficient of β = -.39, t = -5.29, with higher stress levels correlating to reduced resilience and religiosity. In addition, resilience and religiosity act as mediator variables, with a score of z = -2.346 for religiosity and z = -2.017 for resilience, meaning that both variables act as mediators. However, resilience and religiosity do not directly influence each other. The study suggests that enhancing parents’ resilience and religiosity may buffer the impact of parenting stress on emotional competence. Thus, psychosocial support programs should integrate resilience-building and spiritual-based approaches to empower families of children with special needs.
