Abstract

Introduction: In 2014 globally 9.6 million people are infected with TB, including 1.2 million people living with HIV. HIV positive patients have a risk of Tuberculosis (TB), infection or latent TB infection (LTBI) about 5-8% per year and the risk of developing active TB 3 times higher than the immunocompetent individuals. The impact of HIV infection on the immune system is the destruction of lymphocyte T CD4 and declining nutritional status. Nutritional status can be assessed by clinical signs, anthropometry and biochemical indicators such as serum albumin levels. Methods: Cross-sectional observational epidemiological research in RS Dr. Moewardi, Surakarta, to patients with HIV, from April to May 2017 to observe the association of risk factors with LTBI in HIV patients. The first step is patient and family anamnesis, history of past and family illness, duration of antiretroviral therapy, Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) count, BMI count, serum albumin concentration, immunologic Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) for LTBI diagnosis. Results: Total of 93 people meet the criteria. There was no association close contact history with active tuberculosis patients with ITBL in HIV (p = 0.5, OR 1.268; 95% CI 1.139-1.411); no association of BMI classification with LTBI in HIV (P=1.000; OR=0.894; 95%CI=0.326-2.457), no association of serum albumin grade with ITBL in HIV (P=0.19; OR=1.284; 95%CI=1.147-1.436); there was a significant association of CD4 classification with LTBI in HIV (P=0.033; OR=3.560; 95%CI=1.214-10.433), there was no association between duration of antiretroviral therapy with LTBI in HIV (P=0.636; OR=0.969; 95% CI=0.244-3.848). Conclusions: HIV patients with advanced CD4 and severe immunosuppressive CD4 classification (CD4+

Abstract

Background: The lifetime risk of TB reactivation develops within the first 5 years after initial infection. Good LTBI management helps in preventing the progression of the disease to be active. It is recommended in countries with a low prevalence of TB infection and high risk populations such as DM patients. The diagnosis of LTBI is done by examining TST and T-SPOT.TB. This study aimed to determine the correspondence between TST and T-SPOT.TB in detecting LTBI in DM patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in DM patients treated in Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta in September 2018. The study subjects received TST by injecting intradermal PPD RT 23 2TU intradermally, and T-SPOT.TB by taking 6 ml of venous blood examined with ELISPOT method. Statistical analysis used SPSS21 for windows. Results: There were 30 subjects. The prevalence of LTBI was 20%. The correspondence between TST and T-SPOT.TB was substantial (K=0.667, p

The objective of this study was to assess patient survival and the effects of risk factors such as age, previous history of streptomycin therapy, and weight on adverse events due to kanamycin administration in patients with drug resistant TB. A retrospective cohort study was conducted in TB patients by using medical records from January 2011 to April 2017 in Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the relation between risk factors and adverse events. Of 238 patients, 143 patients experienced hearing loss, 147 patients experienced impaired kidney function, and 169 patients had hypokalemia. Age over 40 and female gender had higher risks for hearing loss and impaired kidney function (HR: 2.419 (95% CI: 1.716–3.409; p= 0,000) and HR: 1,892 (95% CI: 1.353–2.646; p=0,000); HR: 1.549 (95%CI: 1.089–2.202; p=0,015), and HR: 1.667 (95% CI: 1.179–2.357; p=0.004)), respectively. History of streptomycin and body mass index (BMI) were not risk factors for  kanamycin’s adverse events. Therefore, closed monitoring on hearing loss and impaired kidney function is necessary for drug resistant TB patients aged over 40, and female patients. Key words: Adverse events, drug resistant tuberculosis, hearing loss, impaired kidney function, kanamycin

Abstract

Tuberkulosis (TB) merupakan kedaruratan global bagi kemanusiaan. WHO menggulirkan Strategi DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment Short-course) dan Strategi Stop TB Partnership bertujuan untuk menjangkau semua penderita TB. Kedua strategi tersebut belum mampu mencapai target CDR (Case Detection Rate) secara konsisten. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh dan peran modal sosial kader kesehatan dan kepemimpinan tokoh masyarakat dalam penemuan TB paru BTA positif (CDR). Metode yang digunakan adalah survei dan studi kasus. Sasaran penelitian adalah Tim Penanggulangan TB di Puskesmas dan Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten, serta kader kesehatan, tokoh masyarakat, penderita TB, dan mantan penderita TB di Kabupaten Sukoharjo, Jawa Tengah. Hasil penelitian survei dengan analisis jalur menunjukkan, besaran pengaruh langsung modal sosial kader kesehatan terhadap CDR adalah 8,64%; pengaruh langsung kepemimpinan tokoh masyarakat terhadap CDR adalah 33%; dan pengaruh modal sosial kader kesehatan dan kepemimpinan tokoh masyarakat secara simultan terhadap CDR adalah 27,7%. Hasil penelitian studi kasus menyimpulkan, peran modal sosial kader kesehatan dalam CDR terdiri dari dimensi kognitif, relasional dan struktural. Dimensi kognitif meliputi kepedulian, saling percaya dan rasa memiliki antar anggota keluarga, warga masyarakat, serta kader dan petugas kesehatan. Dimensi relasional meliputi kerjasama dan komunikasi yang dilandasi nilai-nilai bersama. Dimensi struktural meliputi jaringan sosial, perkumpulan dan persatuan masyarakat. Peran kepemimpinan tokoh masyarakat dalam CDR adalah memberikan motivasi, tempat bertanya dan konsultasi, mengadakan pertemuan rutin, serta mengelola kegiatan dan menggalang donasi.Tuberculosis (TB) is a global emergency for humanity. WHO launches DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment Short-Course) and Stop TB Partnership strategies aiming to reach all people with TB. Both strategies have not been able to reach the target of CDR (case detection rate) consistently. This research aimed to analyze the effect and the role of health cadres? social capital and community figures? leadership in finding the people with positive-BTA pulmonary tuberculosis (CDR). The methods employed were survey and case study. The target of research was TB management team in Puskesmas (Public Health Centre) and Regency Health Service, and health cadres, community figures, people with TB, and people with TB previously in Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java. The result of research with path analysis showed that the size of direct effect of health cadres? social capital on CDR was 8.64%; that of community figures? leadership on CDR was 33%; and that of health cadres? social capital and community figures? leadership simultaneously on CDR was 27.7%. The result of case study research concluded that the role of health cadres? social capital in CDR consisted of cognitive, relational and structural dimensions. Cognitive dimension included care, mutual trust, and sense of belonging among the members of family, members of society, and health cadres and workers. Relational dimension included cooperation and communication based on commonness value. Structural dimension included social network, community association and unity. The role of community figures? leadership in CDR was that it provided motivation, served as the one to which any one asking question and consulting, conducted routine meeting, and managed activity and raised donation.

Abstract

Background: Multidrug-resistant tubercu­lo­sis (MDR-TB) is a serious threat to global TB control programs. According to WHO, there are 23,000 cases of TB multidrug-/rifampicin-resistant (MDR/RR-TB) in Indonesia. In 2017, there were 442,000 of TB cases. There were 8,600 - 15,000 MDR/RR-TB cases, of which 2.4% were new cases and 13% were previously treated TB cases. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the delay in diagnosis and treatment of MDR-TB patients.Subjects and Method: This study was a cross-sectional study conducted at Dr. Moe­wardi hospital, from Sep­tem­ber to October 2017, Surakarta, Central Java. A sample of 73 MDR-TB patients with disabilities on medical records was selected for this study. The depen­dent variables were delay in diagnosis and delay in therapy of MDR-TB cases. The inde­pendent variables were age, gender, distance to health facilities, and type of health facilities. Data were collected from medical records of MDR-TB patients who were treated from March 2012 to March 2017. Data were analyzed using the chi-square model.Results: Median delay in diagnosis = 4 days. Median treatment delay = 12 days. The average patient who had delayed MDR-TB therapy (≥4 days) was 44 years old (Mean= 44.19; SD= 12.64). Delay in MDR-TB diagnosis was not significantly associated with gender (OR= 0.53; 95% CI= 0.18 to 1.57; p= 0.264), distance to health facility (OR= 1.56; 95% CI= 0.58 to 4.21; p= 0.389), and type of health facility (OR= 0.60; 95% CI= 0.26 to 1.41; p= 0.983). The average of patient who had delayed MDR-TB therapy (≥12 days) was 41 years old (Mean= 41.39; SD= 12.69). Treatment delay was not significantly related to gender (OR= 0.45; 95% CI= 0.16 to 1.26; p= 0.137), distance to health facility (OR=1.44; 95% CI= 0.55 to 3.78; p= 0.466), and type of health facility (OR= 2.31; 95% CI= 1.03 to 5.21; p= 2.967).Conclusion: There was no statistically sig­nificant relationship between gender, dis­tance from the patient's home to health facilities, and type of health facility with the delay in diag­nosis and treatment of MDR-TB patients.Keywords: diagnosis, treatment, TB-MDRCorrespondence: Yusup Subagio Sutanto.

Abstract

Examination of the interleukin 6 (IL-6) and procalcitonin levels, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) might could help to diagnosis and predict the duration of therapy and prognosis of pneumonia cases. Zingiber officinale var rubrum could be used as an adjunct therapy in infectious diseases as it has anti-inflammatory activity. The aim of study was to assess the effect of Z. officinale on levels of IL-6 dan procalcitonin, NLR, and the length of hospitalization of patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). An open-label clinical trial was conducted among CAP cases regardless of the etiology at Dr Moewardi Hospital and Universitas Sebelas Maret Hospital, Surakarta, Indonesia from July to September 2022. A total of 30 inpatient CAP cases were recruited and were randomly divided into two groups: (1) received Z. officinale capsule 300 mg daily for five days in addition to CAP standard therapy; and (2) received CAP standard therapy only, as control group. The data were compared using a paired Student t-test, Chi-squared test, Mann-Whitney test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test as appropriate. In Z. officinale group, the mean difference between post- and pre-treatment as follow: IL-6 level was 9.93 pg/mL, procalcitonin level -471.31 ng/mL, and NLR value -4.01. In control group, the difference was 18.94 pg/mL for IL-6, 339.39 ng/mL for procalcitonin, and 1.56 for NLR. The change of IL-6 was not statistically significant between treatment and control groups with p=0.917. The changes of procalcitonin level and NLR were significant between treatment and control group with p=0.024 and p=0.007, respectively, of which the treatment had better improvement. In addition, our data indicated that the length of stay was not statistically significant between the treatment and control groups (4.13 vs 4.47 days, p=0.361). In conclusion, Z. officinale could reduce serum inflammatory markers such as procalcitonin and NLR but it has little impact in reducing IL-16 level and the length of hospitalization of CAP patients.

Abstract

Acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is associated with significant poor survival. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) therapy has been a promising treatment for COPD; therefore, it has the potential to be an additional therapy for AECOPD. Its potential is associated with its secretome since it has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulator activities. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the secretome as an adjuvant therapy in reducing the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), procalcitonin, and the length of stay in AECOPD patients. A clinical control trial study was conducted among 28 moderate and severe AECOPD patients who were hospitalized from January to February 2023. The control group (n=14) received standard therapy of AECOPD while the treatment group (n=14) received standard therapy plus secretome 1 ml twice daily for three days. The levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and procalcitonin were measured at admission and on the fourth day of treatment. The length of stay was calculated from the time the patient was admitted until the patient was discharged from hospital. The data were compared using a paired Student t-test, chi-squared test and Mann-Whitney test as appropriate. In the treatment group, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and procalcitonin after the treatment reduced 13.09 pg/mL, 5.00 pg/mL and 751.26 pg/mL, respectively compared to pre-treatment. In contrast, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and procalcitonin increased 48.56 pg/mL, 44.48 pg/mL and 346.96 pg/mL, respectively after four days of treatment. There was a significant reduction of IL-6, TNF-α and procalcitonin in treatment group compared to the control group with p=0.022, p=0.009 and p=0.001, respectively. However, there was no significant reduction of the length of stay (p=0.072). In conclusion, administration of secretome to AECOPD patients could reduce the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and procalcitonin.

Abstract

Mitral stenosis is the most common rheumatic heart disease (RHD) disorder worldwide, including in Indonesia. This pathological condition causes left atrial pressure, leading to left atrial fibrosis that affects the structure and function of the left atrial as well as the clinical condition. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between circulating fibrosis biomarkers with net atrioventricular compliance (Cn) as a parameter of left atrial function, and left atrial volume index (LAVI) as a parameter left atrium structure of changes. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Panti Rahayu Hospital and Permata Bunda Hospital, Purwodadi, Central Java, with a total of 40 RHD patients with severe mitral stenosis. The ELISA was used to measure the levels of carboxy-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP), matrix metalloproteinase I (MMP-1), tissue inhibitor matrix metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1), and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). The left atrial function was assessed by measuring Cn, and the LAVI parameters were measured to assess left atrium structure/size. The mean levels of circulating fibrosis biomarkers were as follows: PICP 153.96±89.12 ng/mL; MMP-1 1.44±2.12 ng/mL; MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio 0.38±0.54 and TGF-β1 2.66±1.96 pg/mL. From the echocardiographic evaluation, the mean Cn was 5.24±1.93 mL/mmHg and the mean LAVI was 152.55±79.36 mL/m2. There were significant correlation between MMP-1 and MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio with Cn (r=0.345 and r=0.333, respectively; both had p<0.05). PICP and TGF-β1 biomarkers did not significantly correlate with Cn (p>0.05). Meanwhile, none of the biomarkers had a significant correlation with LAVI (p>0.05). This study highlights that MMP-1 and MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio are potentially to be used as markers to determine the Cn in RHD patients with severe mitral stenosis. However, further studies with a higher sample size are needed to confirm this finding.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a gynecological disorder characterized by chronic inflammation, anatomical changes, prolonged pain, and infertility. On the other hand, Phyllanthus niruri is recognized for its pharmacological effects, which might be beneficial in managing endometriosis. The aim of the study was to investigate the pharmacological effects of P. niruri as a potential therapy for endometriosis by using an animal model. An experimental laboratory study with randomized, controlled trial, pre-test, and post-test design using 40 female Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) was conducted at the Integrated Research and Testing Laboratory (LPPT) of Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from February to June 2023. Endometriosis was induced in female Wistar rats by suturing a 0.5 cm2 flap from the uterine horn to the peritoneal cavity. Changes in serum interleukin 1β (IL-1β), malondialdehyde (MDA), and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), before and after the treatment, were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining were used to evaluate lesion size and macrophage quantity. The results suggested that the P. niruri extract with a dose of 196 mg/200 g body weight (BW) could significantly attenuate serum IL-1β (p=0.004), MMP-9 (p=0.021), and MDA (p=0.021). Rats receiving the P. niruri extract (196 mg/200 g BW) had significantly higher macrophage counts (p=0.003), but similar lesion area (p=0.093) as compared with the negative control. In conclusion, P. niruri demonstrated promising therapeutical effects on endometriosis by modulating IL-1β, MDA, and MMP-9 levels, although the effect was not pronounced on macrophage counts and lesion area.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes severe acute respiratory disease in humans and has spread rapidly worldwide since its first identification in December 2019. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) describes the balance between the severity of inflammation and the immune system to be used as an important systemic inflammatory marker. Rapid progression of clinical deterioration is characterized by severe respiratory symptoms related to high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, like interleukin-6 (IL-6), indicating that the occurrence of cytokine storms leads to increased mortality. This study aims to assess the correlation between IL-6 and NLR in predicting the severity of COVID-19. This prospective cohort study was conducted at the COVID-19 ward of Universitas Sebelas Maret Hospital in August–September 2021. This study involved 66 COVID-19 patients >18 years old with asymptomatic to critical degree and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) value ≤3. Examination of laboratory parameters and serum IL-6 was carried out when the patient entered the Emergency Room. Statistical test with Pearson’s correlation test, significant if p<0.05. There is no significant correlation between IL-6 and NLR with p=0.56 and r=0.08, and a strong correlation between IL-6 and disease severity with p=0.000 and r=0.454. The conclusion is that IL-6 does not correlate with NLR and strongly correlates with disease severity in COVID-19 patients.
