Abstract

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is recognised as one of the most important causes of chronic liver disease and has become an important health issue in many countries. The aim of the study wasto evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of NAFLD patients based on ultrasound diagnosed in medical check up setting.Method: In this study, of 2,105 patients undergoing medical check up in Charitas Hospital, Palembang between January 2011 to August 2013, 115 NAFLD patients and 113 non-NAFLD patients as controls were included. Diagnosis of NAFLD was based on ultrasound appearance, patients did not consume alcohol, with negative HBsAg and hepatitis C virus antibodies.Results: The prevalence of NAFLD in medical check up patients was 7.9% whereas 39% patients had normal body mass index (BMI) ( 25 kg/m2). Patients with NAFLD compared with non-NAFLD patients had higher values of BMI (p 0.001), triglycerides (p = 0.001), aspartate aminostransferase (AST) (p 0.001), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (p 0.001), fasting glucose (p = 0.002), and lower HDL cholesterol (p = 0.001). Obesity was the strongest associated factor for NAFLD (95% CI = 1.87-7.85; OR = 3.83; p 0.001), followed by high glucose levels (95% CI = 1.38 - 8.31; OR = 3.83; p = 0.008) and hypertriglyceridemia (95% CI = 1.38 - 4.11;OR = 2.38; p = 0.002).Conclusion: About 7.9% patients suffered from NAFLD. Approximately 39% medical check up patients had NAFLD with normal BMI. Obesity, hypertriglyceridemia and high glucose levels were the risk factors for NAFLD.Keywords: non-alcoholic liver disease, body mass index, prevalence, metabolic syndrome

Abstract

Background: Some studies suggested that colorectal cancer at young age had a distinct biological characteristic: more advanced stage at time of diagnosis, poorer differentiated, and consisted of large proportion of mucin producing tumors. Aim of the study: To analyze clinical and histopathological differences between young aged colorectal cancer patients ( 40 years old) and the older patients Methods: A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted among our colorectal cancer patients in a general hospital between 1999-2004, using C.18, C.19, C20 ICD X code in medical record searching. It was requested that the patients had surgical treatment in Dr. Sardjito General Hospital. An inconclusive clinical staging and/or histological data were among the exclusion criteria. Chi-square, Fisher’s exact test, T-test, and Mann Whitney U-test was performed to analyze the difference between patients 40 years old and ³ 40 years old, in respect to diagnostic staging, histological type, histological grade (differentiation), CEA level, hemoglobin, albumin, tumor location, and chief complain. With p 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: Sixteen young aged ( 40 years old) and 72 older patients had been identified. No differences in gender proportion and mean of symptoms to diagnosis period between two groups. No statistical differences between young aged and the older patients in diagnostic staging, histological grade and type, CEA level, and hemoglobin. Young aged patients had higher albumin value at presentation (p = 0.014), all had left sided tumors (p = 0.035), more complain of anal pain (p 0.001), and less change of bowel habits complain (p = 0.009) Conclusion: The study results had failed to confirm the difference in respect to diagnostic staging, histological type and grade, CEA level, and hemoglobin. Most of our young aged patients had left sided tumors with chief complain of anal pain, and less complain of change of bowel habits Keywords: Young aged colorectal cancer patients, cross sectional analysis, clinical and histological difference

Abstract

Background: Variceal bleeding is the most severe outcome of portal hypertension. Endoscopic sclerotherapy and band ligation are endoscopic treatment modalities for both active variceal bleeding and secondary prophylaxis. Endoscopic sclerotherapy has been carried out in Sardjito hospital since 1998, while band ligation has only been carried out since 2007 year. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term Result of endoscopic sclerotherapy and endoscopic band ligation in secondary prophylaxis of esophageal variceal eradication. Method: This is not a prospective study and is not randomized. The Results of patients who underwent endoscopic sclerotherapy and endoscopic band ligation from July 2003 to June 2009 were compared. Patients were evaluated for re-bleeding and recurrence rates. Results: Two hundred and seventy seven patients underwent endoscopic sclerotherapy and endoscopic band ligation during the period. One hundred and nine patients with varices eradication data; 49 patients who underwent sclerotherapy and 60 patients who underwent band ligation were followed for 1-119 (15.54 ± 20.70) months. The numbers of sessions for eradication were 4.33 ± 1.16 and 2.23 ± 0.59 for endoscopic sclerotherapy and endoscopic band ligation respectively (p 0.001). Re-bleeding and recurrence rates were 38.64% and 84.21% for endoscopic sclerotherapy, and 25.93% and 70% for endoscopic band ligation (p 0.05). Conclusion: Endoscopic band ligation is more effective than sclerotherapy in the eradication of esophageal varices.   Keywords: esophageal varices, sclerotherapy, band ligation, secondary prophylaxis

Abstract

Background: The association between diabetes and chronic liver disease has been well documented. However, the mechanism remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the insulin resistance in chronic liver disease and normal liver in diabetic patient. Method: A total of 31 diabetic, non-alcoholic patients with multiple oral hypoglycemic drugs, either with or without lipid abnormalities were enrolled in this study. Subjects were recruited from outpatient clinic of Department of Endocrine at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Jogjakarta, Indonesia from May-June 2004. This was a cross sectional study. Fasting insulin and glucose level, liver function test, body mass index, and the presence of fatty liver by ultrasound were examined. Insulin resistance was estimated by calculating fasting insulin and glucose plasma level as the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index ratio. Data was described with mean ± SD and analyzed by independent sample t-test. Results: Thirty one patients were enrolled to the study, i.e. 8 patients with normal liver and 23 patients with fatty liver. Only 14 patients agreed to continue the study including 10 patients with fatty liver and 4 patients with normal liver. Mean of age was 59.1 ± 8.7 and mean value of BMI was 24.62 ± 3.05. The liver function test revealed normal Results. Triglyceride, cholesterol, fasting glucose level, and HOMA index (2.77 ± 1.95 vs. 1.66 ± 1.02) in patients with fatty liver were higher than patients with normal liver. No correlation was found between fasting insulin level as well as HOMA index and mean value of BMI (obese and non-obese) as well as hypertension. There was significant correlation between triglyceride level and fasting insulin among fatty liver patients (p = 0.048; CI 95% -7.404; -0.032). Conclusion: The non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in diabetic patients with normal liver enzymes and multiple oral hypoglycemic drugs appear to be related with insulin resistance and hypertriglyceridemia. Keywords: fatty liver, diabetic, insulin resistance

Abstract

Background: The inflammatory process of ulcerative colitis (UC) involves eosinophils. Eosinophils are not only related to the severity of UC but also to clinical improvement. The role of eosinophils in colonic mucosa has not been fully understood. This study aims to determine the correlation between the density of eosinophils in the colonic mucosa and the severity of ulcerative colitis.Method: This is a prospective cross-sectional study with consecutive sampling between August 2020 and July 2021. The subjects were UC inpatients/outpatients at Dr. Sardjito Hospital who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The number and location of the biopsies are determined based on a colonoscopy performed by a Gastroenterology-Hepatology Consultant. An Anatomic Pathology Specialist examined the eosinophil colonic tissue. The severity of UC was classified using the Truelove Witts score. Data analysis using a computer program with a p-value 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: There are 3 UC severity categories according to the Truelove Witts score: 22 mild (45.8%), 9 moderate (18.8%), and 17 severe (35.4%). Seven participants (14.6%) had eosinophilia, with a median eosinophilia score of 203.33 cells/microL (0–1470 cells/microL). Five participants (10.4%) with colonic mucosal eosinophilia, with a median value of 14.13 cells/HPF (0–172 cells/HPF). The density of colonic mucosal eosinophils and the severity of UC had a moderate connection (r = 0.396; p = 0.005).Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between the density of eosinophils in the colonic mucosa and the severity of UC.
