Abstract

AbstrakPenyakit Campak disebabkan oleh virus campak yang termasuk genus Morbilivirus dan Family Paramyxoviridae. Penyakit campak masih menjadi masalah kesehatan karena masih ditemukan Kejadian Luar Biasa (KLB) di Indonesia. Salah satu penyebab terjadinya KLB tersebut diduga sebagaiakibat perbedaan antigenesitas antara strain vaksin yang digunakan dengan strain virus campak liar yang beredar di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendapatkan gambaran tentang karakteristik genetik gen Haemagglutinin virus campak liar yang ada di Indonesia. Spesimen yang digunakan sebanyak 27 isolat virus penyebab KLB dari 17 propinsi selama periode tahun 2003-2010. Isolat virus dilakukan pemeriksaan secara RT-PCR dan sekuensing dengan metode Sanger. Hasil sekuensing dianalisis dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak Bioedit 7.0 dan MEGA 4.0. Hasil penelitian didapatkan perbedaan 10 asam amino antara virus campak strain vaksin CAM-70 dan virus campak liar pada posisi D416N; K424T; V451M; N455T; V466I; I473T; F476L; Y481S atau Y481N; H495N; G505D. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah terdapat perbedaan karakteristik genetik antara virus campak liar di Indonesia berbeda dengan strain virus vaksin CAM-70.Kata kunci : Campak, Analisis Molekuler, Hemagglutinin, CD46AbstractMeasles is caused by virus belonging to the genus Morbilivirus and Family Paramyxoviridae.

Abstract

Background: The quantitative assays are important tests in the management of patients with HIV-1/AIDS. The important step in developing the assay is the availability of the standard HIV-1 RNA. For this purpose, we optimized in vitro HIV-1 RNA transcription to produce the standard HIV-1 RNA.Methods: The HIV-1 DNA was amplified from pNL43 by PCR using a primer pair that was specific for conserved region of HIV-1 Gag gene. The PCR product was further cloned into pBluescript II KS. The recombinant plasmid was restricted with EcoRI enzyme. Then, the linearized plasmid was used as template for RNA transcription. RT-PCR and PCR were performed simultaneously for confirmation of synthesized RNA fragment.Results: A 115 bp DNA of HIV-1 Gag gene has been cloned into pBluescript II SK with the exact true orientation. The reaction of the RNA transcription was also successfully performed. The RNA transcripts have been confirmed and showed the accuracy of the transcripts.Conclusion: We successfuly constructed the recombinant plasmid containing a conserved region of HIV-1 Gag gene, and the HIV-1 RNA has been transcribed in vitro as well.

Abstract

Aim A spesific and rapid diagnosis such as RT-PCR assay is the most needed to minimize transmission of HIV-1 infection. Therefore, in this study we developed the RT-PCR assay that was spesific against the gag gene of HIV-1.Methods The developed RT-PCR assay was evaluated against 46 specimens that were obtained from voluntary counseling and testing for HIV (VCT) in Rumah Sakit Umum Pemerintah (RSUP) Sanglah, Bali. To get the sensitivity and specificity of RT-PCR assay, the results of assays were compared with the results of commercially serologic teststhat were commonly used in Indonesia.Results The RT-PCR assay could detect 21 of 26 serologic test-positive specimens and showed 19 negative results of 20 serologic test-negative specimens. There was one specimen that was positive in RT-PCR but negative in serologic assay, which might depict a true yield at particular condition when the serologic assay was unable to detect. Five serologic positive-test specimens were negative by RT-PCR that was possibly caused by low detection level of the assay.Conclusion The RT-PCR assay is potential to be used for the detection of HIV-1 infection with a sensitivity and specificity of 80.8% and 95.0% respectively.

Abstract

Aim Between July 2005 and May 2008, Indonesia reported 133 H5N1 confirmed human cases with a case fatality proportion of 81%. Fifty-four percent of cases had a history of direct contact with poultry (chickens). Therefore, it is important to define the detection of antibody of H5N1 among people who have intensive contact with poultry have been exposed to H5N1 viruses.Methods We collected sera from healthy poultry-collecting-facility (PCF) workers in Jakarta and healthy poultry-farmers in Sukabumi which have close contact with poultry. Anti-H5N1 antibodies were tested with modified Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) assay using A/Ck/Banten/05-1116/05(H5N1) antigen and with Neutralization (NT) assay using A/H5N1/Indo/05/IBCDC-RG virus.Results Among the 216 PCF worker sera and the 495 poultry-farmer sera that we collected, we found that all poultry-farmers were seronegative and one percent of poultry-collecting-facilities workers were seropositive by both HI and 1% by NT assays.Conclusions This study detected asymptomatic H5N1 virus infection among poultry workers in PCFs with intensive contact with various types of different poultry who had different titers of antibody, but no antibodies were detected among poultry farmers.

Abstract

Background: Conventional method for confirmation of HIV infection is Western blot. However, it has limitations because of contamination by human cellular antigen and genetic diversity among the HIV-1 subtypes that show indeterminate result and inaccuracy for the diagnosis of different strains. Most of Western blot developed are based on HIV-1 B subtype. In Indonesia HIV-1 CRF01_AE subtype is dominantly circulated. Therefore, we optimized the expression, purification of the recombinant HIV-1 CRF01_AE p24 protein for development of immunodiagnostic assay.Methods: Optimization of protein expression in Escherichia coli strain BL21CP was performed including induction time, isopropyl-1-thio-d-galactopyranoside (IPTG) and immidazole consentrations, and induction temperature. Purification of the recombinant p24 protein was used by using Ni-NTA (Qiagen) purification system in native condition. Results: Expression and purification of HIV-1 CRF01_AE p24 protein have been performed. Confirmation of the recombinant protein by Western blot showed the expression and purification of recombinant p24 protein has been optimized well and reactive with sera of patients with HIV-1 CRF01_AE subtype positive.Conclusion: The recombinant HIV-1 CRF01_AE p24 protein has been expressed and purified successfully, and it is potential to be used as antigen for immunodiagnostic assay.

Abstract

Aim Candida spp. infection commonly occur in immunocompromised patients. Biochemical assay for identification of Candida spp. is time-consuming and shows many undetermined results. Specific detection for antibody, antigen and metabolites of Candida spp. had low sensitivity and specificity. In this study, we developed a rapid diagnostic method, Multiplex-PCR, to identify Candida spp.Methods Five Candida spp. isolates were cultured, identifi ed with germ tube and API® 20 C AUX (BioMerieux® SA) kit. Furthermore, DNA was purified by QIAamp DNA mini (Qiagen®) kit for Multiplex-PCR assay.Results DNA detection limit by Multiplex-PCR assays for C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis, C. krusei and C. glabrata were 4 pg, 0.98 pg, 0.98 pg, 0.5 pg and 16 pg respectively. This assay was also more sensitive than culture in that Multiplex-PCR could detect 2.6-2.9 x 100 CFU/ml, whereas culture 2.6-2.9 x 102 CFU/ml.Conclusion Multiplex-PCR is much more sensitive than culture and thus, can be recommended as a sensitive and specific assay for identification of Candida spp. (Med J Indones 2010; 19:83-7)Keywords: Candida spp., multiplex-PCR

Abstract

Candida spesies is important cause of nosocomial infection that lead to death and prolonged hospital stay. Guideline management of candidiasis by Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) in 2009 proposed early antifungal therapy in critical patient with the risk of invasive candidiasis. Early identification of  sepsis patien with high risk of fungal infection is challenging because  long and low result from blood culture. Antifungal usage without appropriate indication can cause resistance to antifungal. The aim of the study is obtain data candida species that caused candidemia in Cipto Mangunkusuno hospital (RSCM) and sensitivity pattern to antifungal. This retrospective study used patient medical record from 2011-2014. This study had 117 candidemia case in RSCM during 2011-2014. Every year candidemia was dominated by Candida  tropicalis, Candida  albicans, and Candida  parapsilosis with trend the increase number of Candida  tropicalis since 2013. Susceptibility pattern of Candida that cause candidemia in RSCM from 71 isolat tested the result was86% spesies Candida flukonazol sensitive, 99% vorikonazol sensitive, 97% amfoterisin B sensitive and 100% flusitosin sensitive.

Abstract

Objective: To analyze level of retinol deposit sufficiency in the natural history of cervical cancer. Methods: Serum retinol level was measured by ELISA from peripheral blood of subjects with normal cervix, cleared and persistent high risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) subclinical infection, and cervical cancer who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study was held in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo and Fatmawati Hospital, Jakarta, within 2 years (August 2013- 2015). Blood was taken twice, consisting of post-8-hour fasting blood and 2 hours after 6000 IU retinyl palmitate oral administration. Results: Of 47 total samples, sufficient level of retinol deposit in normal cervix, cleared and persistent HR-HPV subclinical infection, and cervical cancer group was 85.0% (reference), 75.0% (OR 1.89), 33.3% (OR 11.33), and 75% (OR 1.89); respectively. Statistically, there was no significant difference from sufficiency level of retinol deposit between normal cervix and clearance HR-HPV subclinical infection (p=0.628), normal cervix and persistent HR-HPV subclinical infection (p=0.078), normal cervix and cervical cancer (p=0.433), cervical cancer and clearance HR-HPV subclinical infection (p=1.000), cervical cancer and persistent HR-HPV subclinical infection (p=0.430), persistent and clearance HR-HPV subclinical infection group (p=0.740). Conclusion: This study proves that normal cervix group has the highest level of retinol deposit sufficiency; however, it cannot be stated that cervical cancer group has less sufficiency level. Persistent HR-HPV subclinical infection group has the lowest level of retinol deposit (OR 11.33). There is no association between sufficient level of retinol deposit and clearance of HR-HPV.

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Pseudomonas aeroginosa dapat merupakan penyebab infeksi diberbagai organ. Pilihan antibiotika tunggal untuk itu menjadi lebih sedikit.Tujuan: Menilai daya antibakteri kombinasi fosfomisin dan sulbaktkam-sefoperazon in vitro terhadap isolat klinis Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Metode: Uji kerentanan 30 isolat klinis Pseudomonas aeruginosa terhadap fosfomisin dan sefoperazone-sulbactam sebagai obat tunggal dan kombinasinya dilakukan pada media cair. Daya antibakteri kombinasi fosmisin dan sulbactam sefoperazon ditentukan dengan menghitung Fraction Inhibition Index (FIC). Time-kill curve dinilai pasca paparan bakteri terhadap antibiotika selama waktu tertentu. Hasil: Proporsi isolat yang sensitif sulbactam-sefoperazon sebanyak 66,7% dan meningkat menjadi 90% terhadap kombinasi antibiotika. Proporsi isolat yang sensitif fosfomisin hanya 10% dan meningkat dua kali lipat terhadap kombinasi antibiotika. Efek sinergis, indifferent dan antagonis masing-masing ditemukan pada 60%, 36.7% dan 3.3% isolat. Dari curva time kill disimpulkan bahwa kematian bakteri yang cepat terjadi dalam 4 jam pertama. Kesimpulan: kombinasi sulbaktam sepoferazon dan fosfomisin pada sebagian besar isolat Pseudomonas aeruginosa bersifat sinergis dan hanya 1 galur yang menunjukkan efek antagonis.
