Background: Chronic lung disease is frequently associated with lung vascular lesion. We evaluated the structural-functional related changes of right ventricle under CLD with or without PH at RSUP dr. Kariadi, Semarang. Methods: We studied patients at RSUP dr. Kariadi who underwent routine evaluation that included resting spirometry and echocardiography. Patients with either COPD or RLD were studied, exclusion were made for patients with valvular heart disease and congestive heart disease. This study was performed during May through June of 2019 (n = 20). PASP, RVD, RVWT, TAPSE and spirometry values were analyzed for the association between PASP and RVD, RVWT, TAPSE, TAPSE/PASP ratio and FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC. Results: Thirteen (65%) of 20 patients who underwent echocardiography and spirometry evaluation were male and their average age were 55 years old. Mean PASP was 49.30 mmHg (range 2–111 mmHg). Ninety five percents patients had restrictive spirometry and 5% patients had moderate-severe mixed spirometry. The majority of the population of the study sample is dominated by a very severe degree of restriction spirometry. Out of the 20 subjects, 15 subjects (75%) had a diagnosis of COPD and 10 subjects (50%) had a history of pulmonary TB. In this study, 75% subjects had right ventricular dilatation, 85% subjects had right ventricular hypertrophy, and 15% subjects had decreased right ventricular systolic function (low TAPSE). The majority of structural and functional abnormalities of the right heart are found on patients with very severe degree of restriction spirometry. There were 13 subjects (65%) pulmonary hypertension, with the most findings being severe pulmonary hypertension as many as 8 subjects (40%). As many as 14 subjects (70%) had high TAPSE / PASP ratio.Conclusions: PH prevalence in patients with CLD is significantly associated with spirometry values. PH severity degree in patients with CLD is not significantly associated with spirometry values.Key words: spirometry; pulmonary hypertension; right heart echocardiography.

Background: Dysregulation of the initial inflammatory phase is a primary driver of impaired healing and the formation of chronic wounds, creating a critical need for therapies that can optimize this early response. This study tested the hypothesis that a novel formulation of ozonated aloe vera oil functions as a sophisticated bioregulator, promoting a beneficial, pro-regenerative inflammatory phenotype by transiently enhancing the host's innate repair signals. Methods: This was a preclinical, randomized, controlled study using fifty male Sprague-Dawley rats with 1 cm full-thickness excisional wounds. The therapeutic agent, ozonated aloe vera oil, was chemically characterized by its peroxide value (PV). Animals were randomized to receive topical treatment with either a positive control (aloe vera oil), a negative control (gentamicin ointment), or one of three graded doses of ozonated oil (Low PV, Medium PV, High PV). The primary outcomes, systemic (serum) and local (wound tissue homogenate) concentrations of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), were quantified by ELISA on days 3 and 7. Results: On day 3, all ozonated oil formulations induced a profound and significant upregulation of both local and systemic TNF-α and IL-6 compared to controls (p < 0.001). The topical treatment increased systemic TNF-α levels by over 40% and local tissue concentrations by over 60%. Critically, this pro-inflammatory surge was transient; by day 7, both local and systemic cytokine levels in all groups had returned to statistically indistinguishable baseline levels. Conclusion: Ozonated aloe vera oil acts as a potent, transient modulator of the wound microenvironment, enhancing the expression of key initiatory cytokines. This mechanism, likely mediated by the activation of redox-sensitive transcription factors, optimizes the crucial first phase of healing without inducing pathological chronic inflammation. This study supports a novel therapeutic paradigm aimed at enhancing, rather than suppressing, the body's innate capacity for repair.

Background: The ingestion of sharp-pointed foreign bodies constitutes a high-acuity medical emergency, distinguished from other ingested objects by its significant potential for severe complications, including visceral perforation and hemorrhage. While flexible endoscopy has emerged as the cornerstone of management, its successful application hinges on a systematic, protocol-driven approach. This manuscript presents a case of an ingested straight pin and uses it as the framework for a critical synthesis of modern diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Case presentation: A 40-year-old female presented to the emergency department, hemodynamically stable and completely asymptomatic, two hours after accidentally swallowing a straight pin. A benign abdominal examination belied the potential danger. Plain radiography confirmed a single, sharp metallic object in the gastric antrum. An urgent esophagogastroduodenoscopy under general anesthesia was performed. The pin was securely grasped with rat-tooth forceps and extracted without incident. The patient's recovery was uneventful, and she was discharged on the first postoperative day. Conclusion: This case provides a high-fidelity validation of current international guidelines, demonstrating that a protocol-driven approach—encompassing rapid triage, definitive imaging, and urgent therapeutic endoscopy—is both safe and maximally effective for upper gastrointestinal sharp foreign bodies. The successful outcome underscores the critical importance of this management algorithm in preventing progression to life-threatening complications. This case-driven synthesis reinforces that adherence to a rigorous, evidence-based protocol is the most effective strategy to navigate this pointed clinical challenge and consistently achieve optimal patient outcomes.

Peritonitis can cause sepsis and septic shock, which can lead to death. The existence of a prognostic assessment to assess the progression of cases of peritonitis becomes urgent. This is due to the fact that peritonitis progresses very quickly, and delays in treatment and action will cause the patient's death. This study is a preliminary study with the aim of assessing the potential for developing the APACHE II score as a predictor of mortality in generalized peritonitis patients at Dr. Kariadi General Hospital Semarang Indonesia. This study is an observational study with as many as 22 research subjects, peritonitis patients at Dr. Kariadi General Hospital Semarang Indonesia. Univariate and bivariate analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between APACHE II score with mortality and length of treatment. The results of the study showed that the APACHE II score was positively correlated with moderate strength and statistically significant to the mortality of generalized peritonitis patients. APACHE II score is able to predict mortality but is not able to predict the length of treatment for generalized peritonitis patients at Dr. Kariadi General Hospital Semarang Indonesia.
