Abstract

Myocardial infarction consists of STEMI and NSTEMI. Acute myocardial infarction is diagnosed by WHO criteria when at least two of the following three criteria are met: chest pain, electrocardiography (ECG) result changes, and biomarker. Troponin I is specific for cardiac muscle and has an increased level even in small cardiac muscle necrosis and not affected by the renal failure and muscle trauma but have not been standardized by WHO. This research aimed to find the effectivity of Troponin I examination with POCT to help the diagnosis and early detection of AMI. Thus each product has varied sensitivity and specificity. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Clinical Pathology Laboratory and Cardiac Center of the Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar using suspected AMI patients as the subject. Troponin I level tested by POCT from August 2015 to July 2016. Data were analyzed statistically using the ROC curve with SPSS software. A total of 88 patients suspected with AMI, aged 36 to 75 years old. From the tested cut-off values (0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.5, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08 μg/L) the best cut-off value was 0.03 μg/L (93.9% sensitivity, 95.5% specificity, PPV 98.4%, NPV 84.0%, and 94.3% accuracy) where the cut-off value of 0.03 μg/L was the value recommended by the toolkit manual. Even if the cut-off value of 0.02 or 0.04 was used, the sensitivity and specificity value was still fairly good. Troponin I testing using POCT with a cut-off value of 0.03 μg/L can be used routinely in supporting the AMI diagnosis because it is a rapid test with a portable instrument and excellent diagnostic value.

Abstract

Beta-Trace Protein (BTP) is a low-molecular-weight glycoprotein that can convert prostaglandin H2 into prostaglandin D2 and is associated with the vascular function's alteration. Serum beta-trace protein has been proposed as a promising marker in predicting kidney function in hypertensive patients. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between BTP and glomerulus filtration rate, particularly in hypertensive patients. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 70 hypertensive participants admitted to Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital from July-August 2019. Beta-trace protein, serum urea, creatinine, blood pressure, and anthropometric were measured. The Glomerulus Filtration Rate (GFR) with Cockcroft Gault was graded using GFR stages. The hypertension was graded according to the category of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2018. A descriptive test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Fisher exact test, Spearman correlation test, and logistic regression test were performed at a confidence level of 95%. Significant differences were found between the age, systole, diastole, blood urea, creatinine, and GFR (p=< 0.05). There was a significant difference between GFR and the degree of hypertension (p=< 0.001), but no differences were found in the mean value of BTP and the degree of hypertension (p=0.348). A significant negative correlation was found between GFR and BTP (p=0.028, r = -0.263). Logistic regression test s showed that the increased BTP led to 2.591 times greater possibility of end-stage renal disease with GFR < 15 mL/min/ 2 1.73 m (crude odds ratio 95% CI 1.168-5.475). Serum beta-trace protein possesses a prognostic ability of glomerulus filtration rate and can be used to predict the odd of end-stage renal disease in hypertensive patients.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze endocan levels as a marker of endothelial dysfunction in the control group, patients withstage I hypertension, stage II hypertension, and patients with end-stage renal disease. Endocan levels were measured withESM-1 (endocan) kit by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method. This study used a cross-sectional methodand was conducted in Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar and Hasanuddin University Hospital from Septemberto October 2017. There were 83 samples in this study, consisting of 12 samples in the control group, 22 samples of stage Ihypertension, 28 samples of stage II hypertension, and 21 samples of end-stage renal disease aged 20-90 years old. Thisstudy showed significantly higher endocan levels in patients with stage II hypertension and end-stage renal disease(p< 0.05). Endocan levels were significantly higher (p<0.05) in patients with end-stage renal disease compared with thecontrol group and patients with stage I hypertension; but not significantly higher (p > 0.05) compared to patients with stageII hypertension. Also, the median of endocan levels in patients with the end-stage renal disease was higher (309,850 ng/L)compared to patients with stage II hypertension (273,050 ng/L).

Abstract

The incidence of CRC is 16.5 cases in 100,000 population with 6.7% mortality of all malignancies. RDW-CV values and CEA levelswere used as predictors of severity in various malignancies. This study aimed to analyze the RDW-CV and CEA levels as predictors of CRC severity. A Retrospective study using medical record data of 245 CRC patients at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital. Samples were grouped based on stage (metastatic and non-metastatic), tumor location (right colon, left colon, and rectum), type of care (outpatient and inpatient), and outcome (improved and died). The distribution of RDW-CV and CEA data was tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, comparison of stage, outcome, and type of care using the Mann-Whitney test, correlation with Spearman's correlation test, comparison by location using the Kruskal-Wallis test and ROC curve to determine the cut-off. The median age of subjects was 53.7±12.4 years. RDW-CV values and CEA levels were higher in the metastatic stage than non-metastatic (p=0.005 vs. p=0.000). There was a significant relationship between the incidence of metastases with RDW-CV (p=0.005) and CEA (p=0.000) in CRC. ROC curve analysis shows the optimal cut-off value for RDW-CV as a metastatic prediction is 14.35% (sensitivity 60.4%; specificity=50%), and CEA was 3.24 ng/mL (sensitivity 70.3%; specificity=52.1%).  RDW-CV value was highest in the right colon compared to the left colon and rectum (p=0.009). RDW-CV values and CEA levels were higher in patients with mortality than those who recovered (p=0.016 vs. p=0.055). This study shows a significant relationship between RDW-CV and CEA with the metastatic stage of CRC, and based on the outcome, RDW-CV was higher in the mortality group.

Abstract

Osteosarcoma is a primary pediatric bone malignancy with an annual incidence of 5.6 cases per million children under the age of 15. The high mortality rate leads to necessary for prognostic biomarkers of the disease. NLR, PLR, and LMR can be considered as prognostic predictors of osteosarcoma patients. This study aimed to determine the difference and correlation between NLR, PLR, and LMR based on grade and outcome in osteosarcoma patients. The study used medical record data from 122 osteosarcoma patients at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar. Samples were grouped by stage according to Enneking criteria (Grade I, II, and III) and by outcome (deceased and not deceased), then analyzed based on NLR, PLR, and LMR values using the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney test (significant if p<0.05). There was a significant difference in NLR, PLR, and LMR values by grade, (p=0.05). There was a significant difference in the value of NLR, and LMR based on output (p=0.00), but not in PLR (p=0.954). There was a correlation between the values of NLR, PLR, and LMR and the stage of osteosarcoma (p=0.05). Based on the outcome, a correlation with the NLR and LMR values was obtained (p=0.00), but there was no correlation with the PLR value (p=0.955). Cut-off NLR, PLR, and LMR were 4.43; 0.21; and 0.44, respectively, with sensitivity of 76%, 56%, and 76% and a specificity of 76%, 63.9%, and 68%, respectively. There were differences in NLR, PLR, and LMR values based on the stage and outcome of osteosarcoma.  Higher NLR, PLR, and LMR values will lead to a higher stage of osteosarcoma and a worse outcome. Cut-off NLR, PLR, and LMR optimal for distinguishing stage of osteosarcoma were 4.43; 0.21, and 0.44, respectively.
