Abstract

Malnutrition is a common condition in liver cirrhotic patients. Leptin regulates body weightphysiologically by suppressing appetite and increasing energy expenditure. Leptin is higher in femalethan male. Studies have shown correlation between leptin with metabolic factors like body massindex (BMI) and lipid profile in cirrhotic patients. This study was conducted to investigate thecorrelation between serum leptin levels with lipid profile and free fatty acid in male patients with livercirrhosis. This was a cross sectional study that conducted at Gastroentero-Hepatology Clinic andInternal Ward at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta. The inclusion criteria were patients withliver cirrhosis > 18 years old, male, with Child-Pugh classification B and C, and provided informedconsent. The exclusion criteria were liver cirrhotic patients with comorbidity chronic kidney disease,chronic heart failure, diabetic, cancer, infection/septic, pregnancy, breast feeding, and steroid use.Data collecting was performed by anamnesis, physical examination, abdominal ultrasonographyexamination, and blood chemistry test. Pearson test was used to evaluate the correlation betweenthe serum leptin level with the lipid profile and free fatty acid. The results showed that no significantnegative correlation was observed between the serum leptin level with the total cholesterol (r= -0.052; p=0.766), high-density lipoprotein/HDL (r= -0.078; p=0.658) and triglyceride (r= -0.170; p=0.328) in male patients with liver cirrhosis. Furthermore, no significant positive correlationwas observed between the serum leptin levels with the low-density lipoprotein/LDL (r= -0.013; p=0.942) and free fatty acid/FFA (r= 0.007; p=0.968). In conclusion, there was no correlationbetween serum leptin levels with lipid profile and FFA in male patients with liver cirrhosis.

Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common liver disease that causes significant publichealth problems throughout the world, including in Indonesia. The HCC is the six mostcommon cancers and second cancer-related deaths among men in the world. Recentlyit was reported that the microRNA is an important player in hepatocarcinogenesis. Theexpression of MiRNA-200c is often regulated in primary HCC and HCC cell lines. Vascularendothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) is a regulator of angiogenesis that has been reportedas miR-200c target gene. This study was conducted to measure expression levels in miR-200c and mRNAVEGF-A and their potential role as biomarkers at HCC. A total of 36HCC patients and 36 healthy subjects were included in this study. The relative expressionof miRNA-200c and mRNA VEGF-A was quantified using reverse transcription real timequantitative PCR (qRT PCR). Relative expression was calculated using . Unpaired t-testwas used to compare the expression levels of circulating miRNA-200c and mRNA VEGF-Ain HCC patients and healthy subjects. Pearson test was used to determine correlationbetween circulating miR-200c expression and mRNA VEGF-A expression levels. Theexpression levels of circulating miR-200c in HCC patients were lower compared to healthysubjects although it was not significant (p = 0.258). Conversely, the expression levelsof circulating mRNA VEGF-A in HCC patients were significantly higher compared tohealthy subjects (p = 0.001). The relative expression levels of circulating miR-200c werenegatively correlated with mRNA VEGF-A in HCC patients. In conclusion, the expressionlevels of mRNA VEGF-A in HCC patients are significantly deregulated in compared tothat in healthy subjects. Negative correlation between circulating miRN-200c and mRNAVEGF-A expression levels are reported in HCC patients.

Abstract

Ascites happens in 50% of patients with liver cirrhosis, Some of them experienced permagna ascites (large ascites). Based on the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) guidelines in 2010, therapy of permagna ascites (large ascites) is paracentesis followed by restriction of sodium intake and diuretics. The use of diuretics can cause side effects such as hyperkalemia and hypokalemia. The aims of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of the combination of spironolactone and furosemide in patients with liver cirrhosis with permagna ascites.This study was an analytical observational study with retrospective cohort design. This study was done through a search of cirrhotic patients with permagna ascites’ medical record during January 2010-December 2014. This study was conducted at RSUP Dr. Sardjito. A total of 19 subjects categorized in the tense group and 39 subjects were in non-tense group. The effectiveness of diuretics seen by decreasing 1 cm/day of the patient's abdominal girth daily and the achievement of minimum of fluid balance -500 ml/day. Effectiveness data was analyzed by using independent t-test statistic. Side effects data was analyzed descriptively. There are no significantly different in reduction of abdominal girth and achieving fluid balance between cirrhotic patients with tense and non-tense ascites (p> 0.05); Adverse events of diuretics occurs in 5 patients, consist of hypokalemia 2 patients (3.45%), hyperkalemia 2 patients (3.45%) and hyponatraemia 1 patient (1.72%).

Abstract

Background: A high-salt diet is known to cause gastritis, has been associated with a high risk of atrophic gastritis, and is considered a gastric tumor promoter. Excessive NaCl intake enhances Helicobacter pylori colonization in mice and in humans and that chronic salt intake may exacerbate gastritis by increasing Helicobacter pylori colonization. Furthermore, elevated salt intake may potentiate Helicobacter pylori-associated carcinogenesis by inducing proliferation, pit cell hyperplasia, and glandular atrophy.Objective: The aim of this research was to describe the correlation between sodium and potassium intake and relapse frequent functional dyspepsia syndrome in Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta.Method: This was an observational research with cross sectional design. The subjects of this research were 32 course care patients in Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta on November 2006–Januari 2007 who met the inclusion criteria. Those were who diagnosed as functional dyspepsia, with or without Helicobacter pylori infection, and above eighteen years old. Data were collected by interviewing and gathered from medical record, then analyzed using Rank-Spearman test.Results: The average of the relapse frequent of dyspepsia syndrome in Sardjito Hospital was 14.38 ±2.93, with the minimum score was 4 and the maximum score was 32. The result showed that sodium intake gave a positive relation and significant for relapse frequent of dyspepsia syndrome (p<0.05). The potassium intake gave a negative relation and significant for relapse frequent of dyspepsia syndrome (p<0.05).Conclusion : There was a positive and significant correlation between sodium intake and relapse frequent of dyspepsia syndrome, but there was a negative and significant correlation between potassium intake and relapse frequent of dyspepsia syndrome.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background:Liver cirrhosis causes changes in cardiovascular system. Electrographic (ECG) abnormality commonly found in cirrhosis patients is QT interval prolongation. It is part of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. QTc interval prolongation is correlated to the incidence of life-threatening arrhythmias. The objective of this study was to recognize the correlation between the severity of liver cirrhosis and QTc interval prolongation in patients with liver cirrhosis at Sardjito General Hospital, Jogjakarta.Method: The design of this study was cross-sectional. The subjects were hospitalized patients with liver cirrhosis at the Department of Internal Medicine, Sardjito Hospital, Jogjakarta between January 2011 and March 2012. ECG was performed in all patients and QTc interval was measured. The severity of liver cirrhosis was determined by Child-Pugh score. Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between variables of QTc interval prolongation and Child-Pugh score.Results: A total of 73 patients were enrolled, including 51 (69.9%) male and 22 (31.1%) female patients with mean age of 54.05 ± 12.55 years (range 20-80). Liver cirrhosis was caused by hepatitis B virus in 36 (49.3%) patients, hepatitis C virus in 20 (27.4%) patients and other causes in 19 (26%) patients. The Child-Pugh score for liver cirrhosis was found as follows: child A in 10 (13.6%) patients, child B in 27 (36.9%) patients and child C in 36 (49.3%) patients. The correlation between the severity of liver cirrhosis and QTc interval prolongation was weak (r = 0.255; p = 0.029).Conclusion:Severity of liver cirrhosis has a weak positive correlation with QTc interval prolongation. Keywords: liver cirrhosis, QTc interval, Child-Pugh score

Abstract

According to World Health Organization (WHO), tuberculosis (TB) is a worldwide pandemic. Up to 5% of patients with TB may have abdominal disease and 25-60% may have peritoneal involvement. Diagnosis of TB peritonitis is still challenging, and symptoms are usually insidious. The sensitivity of acid fast bacilli (AFB) is very low, ranging from 0-6%. Conventional mycobacterial culture takes up to 8 weeks to achieve results. Laparoscopic or laparotomy biopsy is uncomfortable for patient. The consequence of these problems is missing and delays in diagnosing TB peritonitis. In the end, it can results in significant morbidity and mortality. This case described a 20 year old female patient with TB peritonitis that suffered from septic shock caused by extended-spectrum beta lactamases (ESBL) producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa.  In this case, TB peritonitis was diagnosed based on clinical features, high levels of adenosine deaminase (ADA) and a positive rapid DNA test with Xpert MTB/RIF.  Keywords: tuberculosis peritonitis, extended-spectrum beta lactamases producing bacilli, adenosine deaminase, XpertMTB/RIF assay

Abstract

Cytochromes P450 (CYP450) is a super-family of multigenes bound to heme and also a catalysator enzyme. Cytochrome P450s (1, 2, and 3) are the most important enzymes for biotransformation of drugs administered through gastrointestinal tract. The gastrointestinal tract is the first part of immune system against all of oral xenobiotics. Drug interaction may be predicted but it is hardly prevented. Thus, it frequently becomes clinical problem. CYP450 polymorphism may influence effective drug metabolism, which consequently will affect drug response and good therapeutic effect. Poor metabolizers need only a small dose of drug to bring on drug response but extensive or ultra-rapid metabolizers will need a large dose of drug. The unexpressed CYP2E1, one of the CYP families, may influence cancer incidence. However, it is still controversial.   Keywords: CYP450, xenobiotics, biotransformation of drugs, gastrointestinal tract

Abstract

Background: Zinc deficiency is commonly found in liver cirrhotic patient, and it is usually caused by excessive urinary excretion that is exaggerated by diuretic agents. The objective of this study is to know the differences of zinc serum concentration according to the Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score and clinical factors that influence zinc serum level and 24-hour urinary zinc excretion. Method: The design of this study was cross-sectional. In adult patients with liver cirrhosis, blood samples were collected after patients had fasted for at least 8 hours. Zinc levels were measured by the flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry method. Correlation test was performed among numeric variables, as well as Mann-Whitney U test to measure mean differences of zinc serum concentration and of 24-hours urinary zinc excretion according to clinical factors. The level of significance was p 0.05. Results: During the period of May 1st - September 30th 2007, there were 36 eligible patients. The mean value of zinc serum levels was 63.70 ± 24.85 µg/dL. There were 24 (66.67%) patients with hypozincemia. The mean value of 24-hour-urinary zinc excretion was 787.52 ± 570.20 µg. There were 19 (52.8%) patients with urinary zinc excretion 550 µg/24 hour. The results of mean difference test of zinc serum concentration between CTP score B and C showed no statistical significance (p = 0.052). Urinary zinc excretion correlated to urine volume (r = 0.638, p = 0.000), and it was higher in hospitalized patients compared to outpatients. It also was higher in men compared to women. There were no statistically significant differences in zinc serum level, zinc urinary level, and urinary zinc excretion on the administration of diuretic agents. Conclusion: There were no significant differences of fasting zinc serum concentration in cirrhotic patients between the CTP scores B and C. In liver cirrhotic patients, urinary zinc excretion positively correlates to urine volume.   Keywords: liver cirrhosis, serum zinc level, urinary zinc excretion

Abstract

Prodromal factors of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) are often associated with previous viral infection (60%). The ailment supported by the acquired immunomediated disorder concept. Viral hepatitis is very rarely found in GBS, preceded by cytomegalovirus (15-18%), Campylobacter jejuni (28%), and Epstein-Barr virus (5%). There is no specific etiology of GBS because those viruses usually appear sporadically (subclinically). All hepatitis virus infection can cause neurological complications, including GBS. We report two cases of hepatitis A virus infection (HAV) in GBS patients in Dr. Sardjito General Hospital during 5 years of observation (1996-2000) from 92 GBS patients. The diagnosis of HAV was based on more than 2 times increment of transaminase enzyme, positive IgM anti HAV, negative HbsAg, and negative IgM anti HCV. The diagnosis of GBS was based on clinical symptoms of acute generalized paralysis, cerebrospinal fluid examination, and electromyelography. In both cases, sub-clinical and sporadic symptoms appeared several days before paralysis, which makes it more likely that the prodromal period of GBS occurred at the same time of HAV incubation period.
