Abstract

AbstrakDalam kriteria diagnosis IMA oleh WHO salah satunya apabila ditemukan peningkatan kadar enzim jantung. Troponin T merupakan salah satu enzim jantung yang akan meningkat apabila terjadi kerusakan sel miokardium. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menentukan hubungan antara kadar Troponin T dan luas infark miokard yang diukur dengan metode skoring QRS Selvester. Ini merupakan penelitian analitik dengan desain cross sectional yang dilaksanakan dari Oktober 2013 sampai September 2014 di Subbagian Rekam Medis RS Khusus Jantung YJI Cabang Utama Sumatera Barat.  Analisis data menggunakan uji Kolmogorov-Smirnov dengan p ≤ 0,05 jika bermakna.  Sampel penelitian adalah data rekam medis semua pasien dengan diagnosis IMA di RS Khusus Jantung YJI Cabang Utama Sumatera Barat periode Juli 2013 – Juni 2014 yang diambil dengan teknik total sampling. Penyeleksian data menghasilkan 81 data pasien dengan diagnosis IMA dan 37 data yang memiliki hasil pemeriksaan troponin T dan EKG. EKG digunakan untuk menentukan luas infark dengan menggunakan metode skoring QRS Selvester dengan hasil luas infark rendah, sedang, dan tinggi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kadar Troponin T dengan luas infark pada pasien IMA dengan nilai p = 0,097 (p > 0,05). Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah tidak terdapat hubungan antara kadar Troponin T dan luas infark miokard.Kata kunci: troponin T, luas infark miokard, infark miokard akut, skoring QRS Selvester AbstractThe one of WHO criteria for the diagnosis of AMI is the elevated levels of cardiac enzymes.

Abstract

AbstrakLatar Belakang: Sindrom Down merupakan suatu kelainan kromosom yang ditandai dengan adanya baik seluruhnya (trisomi 21) maupun sebagian (translokasi) suatu salinan tambahan kromosom ke 21. Apolipoprotein E (APOE) merupakan suatu bentuk protein polimorfik yang disandikan oleh suatu gen yang berlokasi pada lengan panjang kromosom 19 pada posisi 13.2 (19q13.2). Polimorfism gen APOE berkaitan dengan meningkatnya frekuensi alel ε4 yang berakibat terjadinya hambatan dalam percabangan dan pertumbuhan neuron. Dimungkinkan, penderita Sindrom Down Trisomi 21 memiliki gen APOE yang berbeda dengan kontrol sebagai faktor yang dapat mengakibatkan penuaan dini otak. Metode : Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kasus kontrol untuk mengamati perbedaan distribusi dan frekuensi alel dan genotip gen APOE pada penderita Sindrom Down trisomi 21 dibandingkan dengan kontrol. Kasus Sindrom Down dan kontrol diambil dari data sekunder yang tersimpan di Center for Biomedical Research (CEBIOR) Semarang Indonesia. Ekstraksi DNA dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode yang terdapat di (CEBIOR) Semarang Indonesia. Kegiatan selanjutnya adalah pemeriksaan polimorfisme gen Apolipoprotein E dengan mengunakan teknik PCR dan RFLP. Hasil : Sebanyak 33 sampel dari penderita Sindrom Down, 18 laki-laki dan 15 perempuan dan 33 sampel kontrol, 18 laki-laki dan 15 perempuan. Baik sampel Sindrom Down maupun kontrol memiliki frekuensi alel ε3 paling tinggi dibandingkan dengan alel ε2 dan ε4. Pada Sindrom Down didapatkan alel ε4 4 sampel (6,1%) dan alel ε2 8 sampel (12,1%). Baik sampel Sindrom Down maupun kontrol memiliki genotip ε3/ε3 paling tinggi dibandingkan dengan genotip gen APOE lainnya. Pada Sindrom Down didapatkan genotip ε2/ε4 4 sampel (12,1%) dan genotip ε2/ε2 2 sampel (6,1%). Simpulan : Terdapat perbedaan distribusi alel dan genotip gen APOE pada penderita Sindrom Down trisomi 21 dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol. Diperlukan analisis sampel yang lebih banyak untuk mengkonfirmasi hasil penelitian ini.Kata kunci: Sindrom Down, Polimorfisme, Apolipoprotein E.AbstractBackgrounds :Down syndrome is an abnormal chromosomal condition, characterized by the presence of all (trisomy 21) or part (such as due to translocations) of a third copy of chromosome 21. Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a polymorphic protein coded by a gene located on the long arm (q) of chromosome 19, positioning at 13.2 (19q13.2). Polymorphism of APOE gene is related with the increasing of allele ε4’s frequency thus cause obstruction in neuron ramification and development. In previous study, Down Syndrome groups are having different type of APOE gene compared with control. That why it can be considered as one of the caused premature aging of brain. Methods : This is a case control study to observe the difference of distribution and frequency of APOE gene allele and genotype in Down Syndrome Trysomi 21 compared to control. Down Syndrome and control samples was taken as secondary data from Center for Biomedical Research (CEBIOR) Semarang Indonesia. DNA extraction was done by using the commonly used salting out method in CEBIOR Semarang Indonesia. Subsequently polimorphism of APOE gene analysis has been done by using PCR and RFLP.Result : Thirty three samples were Down Syndrom patients, consist of 18 male and 15 female. Thirty three samples are control, consist of 18 male and 15 female. Both groups were having the highest frequency of allele ε3 compared to allele ε2 and ε4. In Down Syndrome, frequency of ε4 allele was found in 4 samples (6,1%) while allele ε2 was found in 8 samples (12,1%). Genotype ε3/ε3 were the highest frequency on both group compared to the other. In Down Syndrome group identified ε2/ε4 genotype in 4 samples (12,1%) and ε2/ε2 genotype in 2 samples (6,1%).Conclusion : There is slight difference distribution of APOE gene allele and genotype in Down Syndrome Trysomi 21 compared to control. More samples should be analyzed to confirm this finding.Keywords:Down Syndrome, Polymorpism, Apolipoprotein E.

Abstract

Breast self-examination (BSE) is a breast examination carried out by the woman herself every month regularly. BSE as a step for early detection of breast cancer is highly recommended for women, especially those aged 40 years and over, because the higher the age, the greater the risk of developing breast cancer. This activity aimed to determine the level of knowledge and attitudes and carry out health promotion about BSE to the pilgrim women of the Baitul Chair Mosque, Teluk Bayur, Padang. 11 women of the society attended this activity. The level of knowledge and attitudes regarding BSE was assessed using a simple questionnaire consisting of five questions regarding knowledge and attitudes, respectively. The survey resulted in no history of breast cancer or family history of breast cancer; as many as 81.8% of mothers had never received information about BSE before. The level of knowledge showed that 63.6% of mothers have good knowledge and a good attitude about BSE, 55.5%. Health behaviour, knowledge and attitudes must be improved, including health promotion. Health promotion as one of the driving factors can increase the knowledge and attitudes that will manifest in BSE actions for early detection of breast cancer.

Abstract

Malnutrition is a major nutritional problem throughout the world. The highest number of nutritional problems occured in East Africa and Asia, including Indonesia. The Indonesian Ministry of Health conducted a survey and revealed that in Indonesia, 1 in 12 toddlers suffered from wasting, and 1 in 5 toddlers suffered from stunting (SSGI 2022). The scope of toddler weighing at Pagambiran health center with the indicators of (K/S) 99,84%, (N/D) 53,26% and (D/S) 13,4%, had not reached the strategic plan target which was 85%. The strategy used to reduce nutritional problems was to increase community participation through integrated health posts (posyandu). The purpose of this study was to determine the determinant factors related to mothers' visits to posyandu on the scope of weighing toddlers. The research method used was the combination method (mix method). The research was conducted from September 2023 to August 2024. The number of samples was 196 mothers who had children aged 12-59 months in the work area of Pegambiran Health Center using the sampling technique of cluster random sampling. The data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. This research data analysis was carried out using univariate and bivariate analysis. The result of statistical test, it was found out that the relationship knowledge (p-value 0.002), exposure information (p-value 0.007) and cadre support (p-value 0.000) to mothers' visits in the scope of toddler weighing.The conclusion of the research is that there is a significant relationship between knowledge, exposure information and cadre support to mothers' visits in the scope of toddler weighing at the work area of Pegambiran Health Center.

Abstract

Background: The stunting rate in Indonesia in 2022 was 21.6%. I was reduced when compared to the SSGI data in 2021 of 24.4%. The stunting rate appears to be decreasing from year to year, but a joint commitment is still needed to achieve the target of reducing stunting to 14% by 2024. Stunting prevention is a much more effective step than stunting treatment itself. Prevention of stunting can be done by optimizing the role of mothers in the golden phase of child development. stunting prevention in Indonesia still focuses on pregnancy and toddlers, while prevention during the preconception period is still limited.Purpose:To synthesize and critically effective steps that can be taken to prevent stunting in the preconception periodMethods:The research method employed was a literature review, conducted by using primary studies from PubMed, google scholar, and ScienceDirect with the keywords “stunting; prevention; praconception” published between 2017-2023, in English, open access, and relevant to the topicResults:A total of 397 research articles were screened for eligibility, and 15 articles met the inclusion criteria. Based on the 15reviewed articles, devide into three themes: Nutritional status during preconception, Supplementation during preconception and Lifestyle during preconceptionConclusion: This review found that there are several efforts made in preventing stunting in the preconception period. it is recommended that health workers can optimize the prevention of stunting in the preconception period.

Abstract

Background: Down syndrome is a global health problem of particular concern because people with Down syndrome have a wide variety of clinical disorders and are one of the causes of mental retardation and serious physical growth disorders.Down syndrome can occur at all socioeconomic, ethnic and demographic levels. The incidence of Down Syndrome will increase as the mother's age increases at the time of pregnancy and the incidence varies in different populations: 1 in 319 to 1 in 1000 live births. Each year, an estimated 3,000 to 5,000 children are born with Down syndrome. The APOE gene is located in the long arm (q) of chromosome 19 at position 13.2 (19q13.2). The APOE gene consists of four exons and three introns, a total of 3597 base pairs. In melanocyte cells APOE gene expression can be regulated by MITF. APOE is a form of polymorphic, which translates into three gene alleles: normal: allele ?3 and dysfunctional: allele ?2 and allele ?4.  The polymorphism of the APOE gene had a strong effect on the level of allele production, a high concentration of APOE indicated that the production of ?4 allele was increased and a low concentration of APOE was associated with the production of ?2 allelePurpose:To Analyze of Allele Frequency Distribution Apoliprotein E Gene  in Patients With Down Syndrome Trisomy  21Methods: This research is an analitic observasional study with a comparative  study design. The sample used was the result of DNA extraction patients with Down's Syndrome Trisomy 21 as many as 33 samples and 33 controls stored in the Biomedical Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, Andalas University, Padang, Indonesia. The next step is to examine the APOE gene polymorphisms using PCR and sequencing techniques.Results: Samples of Down syndrome patients had variations in the distribution of alleles, where alleles ?4 and ?2 were found even though the allele frequency ?3 was still the highest allele frequency. Meanwhile, in the samples representing the normal control population, ?3 and ?2 alleles were found and no ?4 allele was found. Although the allele is not associated with Down Syndrome, Down Syndrome sufferers have a 2.26 times greater risk for e2 and e4 alleles than e3.Conclusion: There was a difference in the frequency distribution pattern of the APOE gene allele in patients with Down Trisomy Syndrome 21 compared to the control.
