Abstract

Background: Brain injury often occurs not only primary brain injury, but often also occur secondary brain injury. Inflammation is a process that occurs immediately after trauma characterized by activation of the mediator substance. TNF-? is a major cytokinee involved in the inflammatory processes that have adverse effects if the serum level are excessive. There needs to be a balance of the inflammatory process in the brain injury so things that harm does not occur. As anti-inflammatory IL- 10 plays an important role in maintaining the balance. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of IL-10 intervention as an anti -inflammatory will decrease the serum level of TNF-? in traumatic brain injury. Material And Method: Experimental Study in the Rattus Wistar rats, post test control group design, male, aged 3-4 months, with body weight (BW) 300-400g, were obtained from the Laboratory Animal Faculty of Medicine, University of Hasanuddin as much as 24 tails, which is the result of breeding. Subjects were divided into four groups, each group of six rats, treated with controlled cortical impact model (Feeney’s weight-drop) of traumatic brain injury. Blood taken with capillary tube in retro-orbita plexus or sinus.This study has approved by ethical clearance for research. Results: Levels of TNF-? group of rats 1 hour post-trauma without administration of recombinant IL-10 (28.58 ± 7.28) pg / mL; was significantly higher (p

Abstract

Pituitary macroadenomas are benign tumors in the pituitary gland measuring more than 1 cm in diameter. Pituitary adenomas account for 8 to 10% of all intracranial tumors and occur primarily in the anterior pituitary lobe and rarely in the posterior lobe. Most pituitary macroadenomas are non-functioning tumors, which show clinical symptoms due to tumor pressure and do not increase hormonal activity. In this case, a 40 y.o. woman was diagnosed with a pituitary macroadenoma after showing clinical symptoms of a functioning tumor, namely acromegaly, prognathism, and large, beefy hands and feet, for the past 4 years. Complaints were accompanied by amenorrhea, intermittent cephalgia, and hemianopsia in the right eye. Blood laboratory tests revealed increased levels of prolactin and growth hormone, while the results of computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head indicate the presence of a pituitary macroadenoma. Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery, a minimally invasive procedure, was performed with minimal complications.
