Latar belakang: Rinosinusitis kronis merupakan penyakit yang sering dijumpai pada bagian telinga hidung tenggorok kepala dan leher. Melalui berbagai macam teknik pencitraan, biofilm dijumpai pada mukosa sinonasal dari pasien rinosinusitis kronis. Beberapa peneliti mengemukakan bahwa biofilm adalah penyebab yang umum dari infeksi persisten kronis. Peranan biofilm pada penderita rinosinusitis kronis dapat membantu menjelaskan manifestasi klinis pada penyakit tersebut. Ketersediaan pewarnaan hematoksilin-eosin yang luas dalam laboratorium patologi klinik membuatnya menjadi metode yang sangat praktis untuk mendeteksi biofilm dalam praktik klinis. Tujuan: Mempresentasikan ekspresi biofilm bakteri pada penderita rinosinusitis kronis yang menjalani tindakan bedah sinus endoskopi fungsional. Kasus: Sebanyak 33 pasien rinosinusitis kronis menjalani tindakan bedah sinus endoskopi fungsional di beberapa rumah sakit di Sumatera Utara selama bulan Januari-Desember 2016. Prevalensi biofilm didapati pada 22 pasien (66,7%) penderita rinosinusitis kronis. Pada penderita rinosinusitis kronis dengan biofilm positif dijumpai jenis kelamin pria lebih banyak, umur lebih tua, lama gejala lebih singkat, keberadaan polip lebih sering, dan keluhan hidung tersumbat lebih sering. Metode: Pencarian literatur melalui Pubmed dengan kata kunci: chronic rhinosinusitis and biofilm. Setelah melalui proses skrining didapati 2 literatur yang dianalisis. Hasil: Penatalaksanaan rinosinusitis kronis dengan medikamentosa, meliputi pemberian antibiotik, dekongestan, kortikosteroid dan mukolitik disertai terapi tambahan irigasi hidung, serta pembedahan. Bila dijumpai biofilm, maka regimen pemberian antibiotik memakai protocol Marshall. Kesimpulan: Prevalensi biofilm pada penderita rinosinusitis kronis cukup tinggi, pemeriksaan biofilm dapat dipertimbangkan pada pasien rinosinusitis kronis yang menjalani tindakan bedah sinus endoskopi fungsional. Kata kunci: Biofilm, rinosinusitis kronis, hematoksilin-eosin, bedah sinus endoskopi fungsional ABSTRACT Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis is a disease that often found in otorhinolaryngology. Its pathogenesis is not fully understood. Using variety techniques, biofilms have been found in the mucosa of chronic rhinosinusitis patients. Some researchers have suggested that biofilm is a common cause of chronic persistent infection. The role of biofilms in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis can help explain the clinical manifestations of the disease. The extensive availability of hematoxylin-eosin staining in clinical pathology laboratories makes it a very practical method for detecting biofilms in clinical practice. Purpose: To present bacterial biofilm expression in chronic rhinosinusitis patients who had underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Cases:About 33 chronic rhinosinusitis patients who had underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery in several hospitals in North Sumatera during January-December 2016.Biofilms were found in 22 (66.7%) patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. Chronic rhinosinusitis patients with positive biofilms found mostly male, older in age, shorter duration of symptoms, more frequent polyps, and more frequent nasal congestion complaints. Method: Literature study was conducted through Pubmed with keywords chronic rhinosinusitis and biofilm. After screening process, we obtained two articles that were analyzed based on the critical appraisal. Result: Management of chronic rhinosinusitiswas medical treatment with antibiotic, decongestant, corticosteroid and mucolytic, accompanied by additional nasal irrigation therapy, and surgery. If biofilm was found, antibiotic regimen given using Marshal protocol. Conclusion: The prevalence of biofilms in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis was quite high. Biofilm examination should be considered in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis who undergo functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Keywords: Biofilm, chronic rhinosinusitis, hematoxylin-eosin, fungsional endoscopic sinus surgery

Background: Presbycusis incidence is thought to have a relationship with hereditary factors, metabolism, atherosclerosis, noise and lifestyle. The presbycusis classification consists of Sensory (outer hair-cell), neural (ganglion-cell), metabolic (strial atrophy), and conductive cochlea (stiffness of the basilar membrane). Factors that influence presbycusis include age, gender, genetics, hypertension, gout, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, noise exposure, and smoking. This study aims to determine the factors that influence presbycusis on the audiogram image at H. Adam Malik Hospital Medan. Subjects and Method: This study was an analytical study with a cross sectional design in elderly patients at the polyclinic. The study was conducted in November to December 2019. The dependent variable was the incidence of presbycusis. The independent variables were uric acid levels, blood sugar levels, smoking habits, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension. Data were analyzed by using chi square test. Results: The prevalence of presbycusis in the 45-59 years age group was 39 people (54.2%) and the 60-74 years age group was 33 people (45.8%). In this study, it shows that male respondents are more than female respondents, where the number of men is 58 people (80.6%) and women are 14 people (19.4%). Based on presbycusis type, there were 33 (45.9%) people (normal), 18 (25%) people (strrial type), 7 (7.9%) people (neural type), 7 (7.9%) people (sensory type), 7 (7.9%) people (cochlear type). High sugar content (OR= 3.33; 95% CI= 1.81 to 6.13; p <0.001), uric acid levels (OR= 2.36; 95% CI= 1.19 to 4.70; p= 0.005), total cholesterol levels (OR= 3.33; 95% CI= 1.81 to 6.13; p <0.001), and smoking (OR= 1.90; 95% CI = 1.21 to 2.97; p= 0.016) increased the risk of presbycusis. Conclusion: High sugar levels, uric acid levels, total cholesterol levels, and smoking habits increase the risk of presbycusis.

Introduction: Allergy and 25-Hydroxyvitamin D deficiency were mentioned to be correlated. Still, there was limited number of studies in determining serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels as a predictive factor, particularly in allergic rhinitis (AR). This study has never been implemented in Indonesia which the main objective was to explore this topic. Methods: Consecutive sampling was used in recruiting the fifteen subjects. Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels were quantified using electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) method while the total nasal symptom scores were acquired by enumerate all nasal symptoms. Data of serum vitamin D levels and TNSS were analysed statistically.Results: Based on our previous study, the predictive value was illustrated from linier regresion = 10,230 – 0,281 (vitamin D), with negative moderate correlation (r = -0,613). This result can be comparable for someone with vitamin D level of 5.66 ng/mL that could predicted as 8.64 nasal score. Conclusion: 25-Hydroxyvitamin D could be a predictive factor for allergic rhinitis with negative moderate correlation. Hence, in the future research needs to be implemented.

Introduciton Since then the pathogenesis of NPC has been intensively studied, specifically aimed at geography and racial variation. In recent years many environmental and biological factors have shown a risky relationship to the occurrence of NPC and the latest research results indicate the role of genetic and viral factors in the development of this disease Objectives Etiology of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is multifactorial, and many of these factors overlap where one factor may occur together with other elements as a cause. Cigarette smoking is thought to also play a role in the development of NPC. Methods The study design was in case of control with an analytical approach during February-October 2007. To find out the relationship between Cigarette smoking NPC, a case-control study was conducted, with a sample of 96 patients with NPC as case and 96 people as a control. Case group and control samples were taken from RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan and RSU Dr. Pirngadi Medan. Results The majority of NPC patients are: Men (compared with women 2.84: 1), 50-59 years (29.2%), and farming (32.3%). The Batak ethnic is the largest ethnic group suffering from NPC 54 people (56.3%) and followed in the second place the most are Javanese (29.2%). The most histopathological type is WHO type 3 (38.6%). Most stages were III (58.4%), followed by stage IV (40.6%), stage II (1%), and there was none of stage I.In univariate logistic regression showed a significant relationship between smokers with consumption of cigarettes 11-20 cigarettes per day with OR=2.530 (p=0.021) with the occurrence of NPC. However, in the multivariate logistic regression analysis, the number of cigarettes per day did not show a significant relationship (p=0.587). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis, nasopharyngeal carcinoma were significantly associated with people who had started smoking before the age of 20 years (p=0.000; OR 5.35 and CI 95% 2.290-12.499), consuming habits of salted fish before 10 years of age with sometimes frequency consumption of salted fish p=0.000; OR 7.766 (95% CI 2.937-20.538), often p=0.000; OR 16.515 (95% CI 5.3000-51.463), and the habit of using firewood p=0.014; OR 3.147 (95% CI 1.260-7.860). There was no significant relationship between the duration of cigarette smoking (p=0.293), a number of cigarettes (p=0.021) and the types of cigarettes smoked (p=0.081) with the incidence of NPC. Conclusion Cigarette smoking as a risk factor for NPC cannot act stand-alone as a risk factor, but there is a role for other factors that also influence as a risk factor.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a prevalent autoimmune disease affecting multiple organ systems. Disease progression is inevitable as part of its natural course, necessitating aggressive therapeutic strategies, particularly with the use of immunosuppressants. Long-term use of steroids and other immunosuppressants is associated with significant adverse effects. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to modulate the immune response, leading to immunosuppressive effects against self-antigens. MSCs have demonstrated the ability to modulate several immune cell populations, contributing to favorable outcomes in controlling immune and inflammatory conditions. Recent evidence has shown an increase in Treg and Breg cell subsets following MSC administration, along with modulation of other immune cells, including dendritic cells, B cells, and T cells. However, the balance between MSC pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory phenotypic activation remains a critical factor in determining therapeutic outcomes. Various covariates also influence the efficacy of MSC therapy. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of the utilization of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in SLE treatment, leveraging their immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive capabilities. Understanding the fundamental preclinical effects of MSCs and recent findings from clinical studies may enhance the potential of MSC therapy in the management of SLE patients.
