Abstract

Background: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a persistent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and can cause progressive liver damage. This damage can be measured through a decrease in albumin levels and an increase in liver enzymes such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST/SGOT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT), and de Ritis ratio (AST/ALT). This study aims to analyze the relationship between albumin levels and SGOT, SGPT, and de Ritis ratio in CHB patients. Methods: This cross-sectional retrospective analytical study involved 50 CHB patients diagnosed at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang between June 2022 to June 2023. Data on albumin levels, SGOT, SGPT, and de Ritis ratio were obtained from medical records. The de Ritis ratio, SGOT, and SGPT were grouped into normal and increased. Statistical analysis used an independent t-test with a significance of p < 0.05. Results: The research subjects consisted of 26 men (52%) and 24 women (48%) with an average age of 42.46 ± 13.39 years. The mean albumin level in the increased SGOT group (3.69 ± 0.78 g/dL) was significantly lower than the normal SGOT group (4.39 ± 0.61 g/dL) (p = 0.003). The mean albumin level in the increased de Ritis ratio group (3.90 ± 0.80 g/dL) was also significantly lower than the normal de Ritis ratio group (4.46 ± 0.70 g/dL) (p = 0.006). There was no significant difference between albumin levels in the normal and increased SGPT groups (p = 0.548). Conclusion: There is a significant negative relationship between albumin levels and SGOT and de Ritis ratio in CHB patients. Decreased albumin levels may be an indicator of more severe liver damage in these patients.

Abstract

Red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization, the development of antibodies against foreign red blood cell antigens, is a critical concern in transfusion medicine. Alloantibodies can lead to adverse transfusion reactions, including hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) and delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions (DHTR). This comprehensive literature review explores the intricacies of RBC alloimmunization, focusing on the screening and identification of erythrocyte antibodies. We delve into the prevalence and clinical significance of various alloantibodies, the underlying immunological mechanisms, and the evolution of laboratory techniques for their detection. Additionally, we discuss the challenges and future directions in managing alloimmunization, emphasizing the importance of personalized medicine and innovative approaches to ensure safe and effective blood transfusions.

Abstract

Anemia is a global health problem characterized by low hemoglobin and ferritin levels due to iron deficiency, which affects growth, cognition, and disease risk, particularly in children and women of reproductive age. Local food–based nutritional interventions such as skipjack tuna (heme iron), spinach (non-heme iron), and dadih (probiotics) have the potential to provide synergistic effects in improving iron status. This study aimed to determine the effect of cookies made from a combination of skipjack tuna flour and spinach with the addition of dadih probiotics on serum ferritin levels, as well as the effectiveness of Sodium Nitrite (NaNO₂) in decreasing ferritin and hemoglobin levels as indicators of anemia. The study used a Post-Test Only Control Group design with 36 female Wistar rats induced with anemia using NaNO₂ at a dose of 25 mg/200 g BW for 18 days, then divided into six treatment groups for 28 days. Ferritin levels were measured using the ELISA method. The results showed that administering cookies made from the combination of skipjack tuna flour and spinach with dadih probiotics significantly increased ferritin levels (P=0.000) compared to the control and single-ingredient groups. NaNO₂ was proven effective as an anemia-inducing agent. This combined cookie formulation has the potential to improve serum ferritin levels.

Abstract

Background: Kawa gambir leaves, dried in a furnace and brewed as tea, are rich in flavonoids, phenolics, steroids, and tannins and have antioxidant, antihyperglycemic, and antidyslipidemic properties. In diabetes, elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is a dyslipidemic abnormality that increases atherogenic risk. However, the effect of Kawa gambir on LDL in diabetic conditions remains unclear. Objective: To evaluate the effect of Kawa gambir leaf administration on LDL in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Methods: This experimental study used a post-test-only control group design in 36 Wistar rats randomized into six groups: K−, K+, MET, P1, P2, and P3. Diabetes was induced with alloxan in K+, MET, and P1–P3. MET received metformin, whereas P1, P2, and P3 received Kawa gambir infusions at 1, 2, and 4 g/100 mL once daily for 4 weeks. Serum LDL was estimated using the Friedewald formula. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Least Significant Difference post hoc testing. Results: Mean±SD LDL levels (mg/dL) were 37.16±3.03, 59.90±8.91, 41.30±6.74, 40.60±5.75, 38.95±10.15, and 40.33±7.01 in K−, K+, MET, P1, P2, and P3, respectively. Group differences were significant (p=0.001). The largest numerical reduction versus K+ was found in P2, with a difference of 20.95 mg/dL (95% CI 8.64–33.26). Conclusion: Kawa gambir infusion significantly reduced LDL compared with the untreated diabetic control. Although the 2 g/100 mL group showed the lowest LDL numerically, no significant differences were observed among active treatment groups. These findings support Kawa gambir as an antidyslipidemic agent in diabetic dyslipidemia.
