Abstract

Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FIGD) represent a common and important class of disorders within gastroenterology. FIGD are a cause of great anxiety, distress and morbidity. FIGD disorders maybe manifest as overlapping syndrome. Patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) show frequent overlapping of other gastrointestinal disease, such as functional anorectal pain. These overlap patients have more frequent or more severe symptoms, poor health related quality of life and higher somatization scores, and they are more likely to experience anxiety, depression or insomnia compared to non-overlap patients. These disorders were diagnosed according Rome III criteria and excluded structural diseases. Multimodalities approach should be used during treatment patient with FGID. It was reported a male patient with functional dyspepsia and unspecified functional anorectal pain overlap. Keywords: Functional gastrointestinal disorders, functional dyspepsia, functional anorectal pain

Abstract

Background.  Systemic inflammation contributes to the development of intrapulmonary and extra pulmonary disorders, and as an independent risk factor for exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has proven. The use of corticosteroids as anti-inflammatory agents has limitation for their undesirable side effects and different efficacy among the patients. Erdosteine, a mucolytic agent widely used in COPD, has been proven to be able to inhibit several mediators such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and eicosanoids, which are involved in oxidative stress and inflammation.Objective. This study aimed to discover the effects of erdosteine administration in serum C - reactive protein (CRP) level in stable COPD patients.Methods. The research was a randomized controlled trial, which compared add-on therapy used erdosteine 300 mg bid versus placebo, for 10 days, combined with COPD standard treatments. The patients was recruited at RSKP Respira Yogyakarta outpatient clinics. Diagnoses were confirmed used spirometry based on GOLD criteria. Evaluation of CRP levels was hold before treatment and on the eleventh day, used highly sensitive quantitative immunometric assay.Result. Thirty-eight legible COPD patients recruited and randomly assigned to either erdosteine group or placebo group. One patient in erdosteine group was drop out because of exacerbation and one patient from each group were lost to follow up. There are 35 subjects (97.1% men, age range 40-77 years, median FEV1 0.83 (0.50-10.08) L, hs-CRP 0.84 (0.18-18) mg/L) who completed the study, 19 subjects in erdosteine and 16 subjects in placebo group. Baseline characteristics were similar between two groups. There were no significant decreases in median hs-CRP level in erdosteine vs. placebo group at day 11 (-0.10 (-16.16-+4.31) vs. 0.005 (-11.7-+11.03) mg/L; p 0.275). In COPD GOLD 3 sub-population, hs-CRP serum level decline was greater in erdosteine group compared to placebo (-0.56 (-16.16-+0.44) vs. 0.11 (-11.7- +11.03) mg/L;  p 0.03) this might be related to greater oxidative stress in severe COPD that makes antioxidative effects of erdosteine reduce CRP more significantly in severe COPD.Conclusion. Effects of erdosteine supplements, 300 mg bid for 10 days, could decrease hs-CRP level in erdosteine insignificantly compared to placebo. Keywords: table COPD, C-reactive protein, erdosteine, FEV1, GOLD

Abstract

Background. Based on international statistics, the incidence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is about 2.2-14.3 cases per 100.000 people per year for Ulcerative Colitis (UC). In Indonesia, there is no epidemiological study of IBD. To assess the degree of severity associated with the ulcerative colitis disease can be used a varietyof tools, including the Truelove Witts score which has sensitivity and specificity that high enough for UC in the phase of active disease. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a very important role in the self-defense mechanism and acts as an acute-phase protein. Serum levels of IL-6 and increased expression in the colonic mucosa of active IBD patients indicate the level of IBD disease activity.Aims. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between Interleukin-6 expression (IL-6) and the severity of UC disease using Truelove Witts classification.Methods. This study used a cross-sectional method that analyzed the relationship between IL-6 expression and UC weighing based on Truelove Witts classification using colon tissue biopsy results from UC patients who met inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results. Th ere were 26 subjects studied and performed an endoscopic analysis and anatomical pathology. Mean age of research subjects were 52.73 + 11.11 years with men's favored subjects (n = 15). Subjects were severe UC 16 (61.5%), moderate 7 (26.9%) and mild 3 (11.5%). More male subjects in mild UC, 12 vs. 3 and more female subjects in moderate-severe UC, 4 vs. 7 (p 0.032). Signifi cant diff erences in IL-6 expression in defecation were > 4 times/day, IL-6 300 (285-400) versus defecation < 4 times/day, IL-6 295 (212.1-340) p 0.039. Signifi cant diff erence in IL-6 expression between mild UC 295 (212.1-340) with moderate- severe UC 301.66 (235.57-400) with p value 0.032.Conclusion. IL-6 expression in moderate-severe UC subjects was higher than mild UC subjects based on Truelove Witts criteria.Keywords:  Inflammatory Bowel Disease,  Ulcerative Colitis,  Truelove Witts classification,  Interleukin-6.

Abstract

Background. Liver cirrhosis is a pathological condition that describes the end stage of liver fibrosis. Fibrosis is currently a two-way process. The process of returning from fibrosis now is a clinical reality. According to Abraldes et al. (2009), administration of simvastatin for one month will increase liver cell regeneration and improve endothelial dysfunction. Liver biopsy is still the gold standard for assessing liver cirrhosis, but this procedure is invasive and has the potential to cause life-threatening complications. Liver biopsy is complicated by sampling errors (reaching 30%) and different abilities between observers. Transient elastography (Fibro scan) is a non-invasive modality for diagnosing liver fibrosis that has high sensitivity and specificity.Aim. The aim of the study was to discover the difference in effect, of simvastatin 20 mg compared to 10 mg for 3 months to improve liver stiffness in patients with liver cirrhosis.Method. The study design used a double blind, randomized clinical trial. The subjects of the study consisted of a group given simvastatin 10 mg / day and the group given simvastatin 20 mg / day for 3 months. Routine medications for cirrhosis were still made according to the original dose. During the study, an initial and final transient elastography examination was carried out and monthly supervision of medication compliance and side effects. Data analysis for statistical tests was carried out by t-test, Mann Whitney test, fisher’s-exact test, and ANOVA test.Result. A total of 21 subjects underwent thorough research and transient elastography. The simvastatin 10mg group (n = 12) experienced a decrease in liver stiffness, with a delta mean of liver stiffness of -4.97+7.09 (p <0.023) compared to the simvastatin 20 mg group (n = 9) with a heart stiffness of -4.09 + 10.06 (p= 0.982). Changed liver stiffness in the two groups were not statistically significant differences. Etiology and confounding drugs showed statistically no significant effect.Conclusion. Both simvastatin 10 mg and 20 mg can reduce liver stiffness. The effect of the two doses of the drug in reducing liver stiffness was not statistically significant different.

Abstract

The proportion of elderly population is growing faster than any other age group. Malnutrition isa widespread problem in elderly and has been recognized as the most common cause of mortalityand morbidity. Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is recommended to detect malnutrition riskamong geriatrics. However, it is just appropriate for geriatric who stay at home. For hospitalizationpatients, Nutritional Risk Index (NRI) that using albumin and weight is recommended. However,the weight data is often not possible obtained in geriatrics. Therefore, Geriatric Nutritional RiskIndex (GNRI) using ideal body weight is recommended. The aim of this study was to evaluaterelationship of GNRI with length of hospitalization and mortality rate in geriatric patients. Thiswas an observational study with a prospective cohort design conducted in Dr. Sardjito GeneralHospital, Yogyakarta from January to February 2012. Patients who met the inclusion and exclusioncriteria were recruited. Laboratoty and clinical examinations as well as GNRI scoring were thenperformed. Patients were grouped into two groups i.e. patients with GNRI score < 82 and e”82. The patients were then monitored during hospitalization until they were discharged due todie or recovered. The length of stay and patients died were then recorded. The results showedthat the length of stay of patients with GNRI score < 82 (14.32 ± 8.20 days) was significantlylonger than those with GNRI score 82 (9.31 ± 6.15 days) (p = 0.006). Moreover, the mortalityrate of patients with GNRI score < 82 (42.1%) was significantly higher than those with GNRIscore 82 (2.8%) (p = 0.000). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed survival rate of patientswith GNRI score <82 rapidly decreased when compared with those with GNRI score 82. Inconclusion, there is negative correlation between GNRI with length of hospitalization and mortalityrate in elderly.

Abstract

Dyspepsia is a common disorder characterized by heartburn, nausea, vomiting, bloating, feelingof fullness or early satiety, and belching. Functional dyspepsia (FD) or non-ulcer dyspepsia is asyndrome without any physical or endoscopic abnormalities underlying these symptoms. Theimpacts of FD on psychological disturbances and quality of life in patients have been postulated.However, it has not much been a concern. This study was conducted to evaluate the relationshipbetween symptoms of depression and quality of life in patients with FD.This was an observationalstudy with cross-sectional design involving 30 patients. The symptoms of depression weremeasured by beck depression inventory (BDI) and the quality of life of patients were measuredby SF-36. The results showed that FD were more suffered consecutively by female patients(66.7%), age over 45 years (53.4%), housewives (56.6%), educated graduates (56.6%) andmarried (90.0%). Moreover, patients who experienced symptoms of clinical depression withlow, moderate and severe levels were 16.3%, 33.3% dan 10.0%, respectively. A significantcorrelation between depressive symptoms and the overall of patients quality of life was observed(r = 0.481; p<0.05). Furthermore analysis showed that among eight domains of health in SF-36analyzed, a negative significant correlation was observed between the depressive symptoms andthe three domains of health i.e. general physical function, limitation of motion caused byphysical problems, and vitality. In conclusion, there is a negative correlation between depressivesymptoms and quality of life in patients with FD
