Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is the second largest cancer in the world.The gold standard for breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis is grade assessment (mitotic, nuclear pleiomorphism, tubular formation), based on breast tissue histopathology. However, this assessment has limitation in that it is subjective and semi quantitative. A genetic biomarker known as  microRNA (miRNA) may regulate human gene expression by targetting mRNA. One of the miRNA, i.e. miR-21, is able to suppress tumor suppressor mRNA, resulting in increased cellular proliferation andneoplastic transformation, and decreased apoptosis. This study aimed to investigate the expression of miR-21in breast cancer with histopathologic grade I, II, and III.Subjects and Method: This was a descriptive study with cross-sectional design involving paraffin block (FFPE) samples of ductal-type breast cancer tissue. Sixty four samples were obtained from the department of Anatomical Pathology, Haji Adam Malik Hospital, Medan. Patients history were obtained through medical records followed by sample processing (Total RNA Isolation, cDNA Synthesis, and Examination of miR-21 Expression using Real-Time qPCR). MiR-21 expression from every hystopathologic grade was obtained using Fold Change Calculation.Results: Breast cancer occurred more frequently in age group of 30-49 years old. Based on the histopathologic grade, most breast cancer was found in grade II. Analysis of miR-21 expression showed that miR-21 expression was higher in grade III compared to other grade.Conclusion: Breast cancer occured more frequently in the productive age group.Most breast cancer were found in grade II. Increased miR-21 expression in grade III may suggest that miR-21 is an oncomiR, which plays an important role in the development of malignant breast cancer.Keywords: breast cancer, histopathology grade, miRNA, miR-21.Correspondence: Juwita.

Abstract

Background: MicroRNA (miRNA) is noncoding-RNA that comprises 18-22 nucleotides. miRNA binds its gene targets in the 3-untranslated region (3-UTR), causing direct degradation of mRNA and repressed translation of RNA. MicroRNA regulates various biological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell growth, cell differentiation, and metabolism. Various changes have been identified miRNA expression in different types of cancers. This study aimed to describe the expression of miR-155 in patients with breast cancer tissue in Haji Adam Malik Hospital in Medan.Subjects and Method: This was a descriptive study. A total sample was 64 paraffin tissue blocks was taken from female patients with breast cancer at the surgical oncology unit, Haji Adam Malik Hospital in 2013-2014. RNA sample were isolated and checked using a spectrophotometer followed by cDNA synthesis. Then this sample was analyzed for miR-155 expression by using Real Time qPCR. Histopathological grade data were obtained from the medical record.Results: The miR-155 expression in the breast cancer patients is higher than that in the UniSp6 RNA Spike-in (internal controls). miR-155 expression was 29.64, 28.44, 29.22, in grade-I, grade-II, grade-III breast cancer, respectively. UniSp6 RNA Spike-in was 22.30, 22.89, 23.10, respectively in the control groups. Thus, increased of miR-155 expression was the highest in grade I breast cancer patients.Conclusion: Increased miR-155 expression can be used as a biomarker for early diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer.Keywords: miRNA, miR-155, breast cancer.Correspondence: Henny Erina Saurmauli Ompusunggu.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer suffered by women and one of the biggest causes of death for women worldwide. Later, nutrition became one of the risk factors in breast cancer outcome, one of them is vitamin D. Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D as an anti-proliferation, and inhibits tumor growth. Uncontrolled proliferation is one of the characteristics of cancer cells. Tumor growth rates become prognostic markers that can be evaluated by correlating at cellular levels such as mitosis. The aimed of this study was to analyze the relationship between vitamin D levels and mitosis index in breast cancer patients. Research with cross sectional design gathered 50 breast cancer patients who were newly diagnosed and had never received chemotherapy. The study was conducted from January 2017 - August 2018 at the Department of Surgical Oncology, RSUPH. Adam Malik Medan. Examination of plasma vitamin D levels is done by ELISA technique at the Lab. Faculty of Medicine Universitas Sumatera Utara. The mitosis index data was obtained from the medical record of the research subjects reviewed by anatomical pathology specialists at the Lab. Anatomical Pathology of Faculty of Medicine Universitas Sumatera Utara. Statistical test uses Fisher Exact. The results of the study 48% of subjects had vitamin D sufficiency, 38% insufficiency and 14% had deficiency. The mean vitamin D levels in all of the study subjects were insufficiency (27.93ng / ml). In this study there was no significant relationship between plasma vitamin D levels and mitosis index in breast cancer patients p = 0.062. The insignificant relationship between vitamin D levels and mitotic index in this study shows that vitamin D not a single factors to influence the mitosis index in breast cancer patients.

Abstract

The neuregulin 1 (NRG1) gene which influences the development of white matterconnectivity has been associated with schizophrenia. It influences neuronal migration, synaptogenesis,gliogenesis, neuron-glia communication, myelination, and neurotransmission in the brain and others.NRG1 is located in 8p13, and it is frequently replicated in schizphrenia. SNP8NRG433E1006 geneNRG1 is one of core at risk haplotype of schizphrenia. This study looked forward differencesSNP8NRG433E1006 neuregulin 1 between Bataks ethnic with schizophrenia paranoid and Bataksethnic healthy control. Methods: Batak ethnic with schizophrenia paranoid were recruited andinterviewed with semi-structured MINI ICD-X to establish the diagnosis. All the eligible subjectswere requested their permission for blood sampling. Healthy Batak ethnic were also recruited bymathcing the age and gender. The blood samples went through DNA isolation, Nested PCR, and DNAsequencing. Results: Ninety three subjects were recruited, but only 74 blood samples weresuccesfully sequenced. We found three types of polymorphisms, i.e. G/A allele at base pair (bp) 76,G/T allele at bp 112, and deletion at bp 110 in Batak ethnic with schizophrenia. There were two kindsequences at bp 113-116 in Batak ethnics, and Batak ethnics with ATCG were at higher risk forhaving schizophrenia. This study support that NRG1 is a schizophrenia-susceptibility gene.

Abstract

Stroke is the third highest cerebrovascular disease in the world with high mortality and disability rate that is mostly dominated by ischemic stroke. Genetic factor that had been reported to have an indirect effect in increasing the incidence of ischemic stroke is ACE gene polymorphism. ACE gene polymorphism is characterized by the insertion marked by letter (I) or deletion marked by letter (D) on intron 16, chromosome 17. ACE gene polymorphism has drawn a lot of attention from scientists and had been reported to have an indirect effect in increasing the ischemic stroke incidence through pathogenesis of hypertension and atherosclerosis. In this study, 78 subjects of ischemic stroke consist of 43 subjects with hypertension and 35 subjects with normotension. I allele of ACE gene polymorphism was more dominant than D allele in hypertensive ischemic stroke patients (72.1% > 27,9%) and this dominance was also seen in the incidence of hypertension vs normotension (55.4% > 44.6%). However, the correlation of ACE gene polymorphism with the incidence of hypertension was not statistically significant when compared based on its genotype (p=0.280) and allele (p=0.948).

Abstract

One of many possible ways of preventing Early Childhood Caries (ECC) is by removing tooth debris. Fluoride tooth paste usage by children under 3 years old must follow recommended quantity, because of its possibility of being ingested which then might cause fluorosis. Lysozyme as an active element in a toothpaste is able to mediate bacterial aggregation and inhibit bacterial adhesion and also activate bacterial autolysin by destructing bacterial cell wall. This study aimed to compared Streptococcus mutans antimicrobial activity of non-fluoride lysozyme toothpaste of various concentration such as 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 %. This was an experimental research with post test only design. The tested tooth paste was lysozyme-contained with 0.025, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2% concentrations. Children tooth paste containing fluoride, enzyme tooth paste and 0.2% chlorhexidine became the positive control. Test of S. mutans antibacterial activity used 3 methods: disc diffusion, well, and microtiter plate method. Analytical test used Anova one way with Bonferoni post hoc and p<0.05 significant level. The results showed that all concentrations of lysozyme tooth paste had inhibitory effect on the growth of S. mutans (p<0.05). The highest mean of S. mutans antibacterial activity in lysozyme tooth paste were on 0.1 and 0.2% concentrations. Conclusion stated that 0.1% concentration of lysozyme tooth paste can be used as an alternative tooth paste for children under 3 years old
