Abstract

Treatment of cancer pain often requires opioids, and morphine is a gold standard in the management of severe cancer pain. Inadequate knowledge of cancer pain management causes opioid usage is not optimal. Indonesia is one of the countries with very low opioid consumption. The purpose of this study was to find out the physician’s knowledge about the management of cancer pain in choosing opioid, administration, doses, side effects, addiction and factors of opioid that barrier in pain management. This cross-sectional study was conducted in General Hospital Jakarta and a Private Hospital in Tangerang. Inclusion criteria were medical specialist who treating cancer pain. This study used questionnaires that filled out by respondents and confidential. Score of adequate knowledge was ≥ 70, and to assess the relationship between knowledge of opioid use with specialization analyzed by Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact if Chi-square requirement is not fulfilled. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS version 20. From a total of 146 distributed questionnaires, we received 103 questionnaires (70,5%). In this study, the majority of respondents (69,9%) had inadequate knowledge. The highest rate (70,55) was found in the choosing opioid section, while the lowest rate (49,5) was found in the opioid side effects section. There is no significant relationship between physician knowledge on opioid usage and specialization (P= 0,355). Government regulation is major obstacle to opioid use, followed by lack of training, drug availability and knowledge of side effects ABSTRAK Penatalaksanaan nyeri kanker sering kali membutuhkan opiat dengan morfin sebagai gold standard menurut panduan WHO analgesic step ladder .

Abstract

Background Iron chelation therapy is used to maintain iron balance in β-thalassemia major patients who undergo repeated blood transfusions. Objective To compare the efficacy, safety, and cost of iron chelation combination regimens [deferiprone (DFP) + deferoxamine (DFO) or DFP + deferasirox (DFX])] vs. high-dose DFP monotherapy (≥ 90 mg/kg/day) in pediatric β-thalassemia major patients. Methods This cross-sectional, retrospective study was done at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. Retrospective data was obtained from electronic medical records of pediatric b-thalassemia major patients with serum ferritin of ≥ 2,500 ng/mL and/or transferrin saturation of ≥ 60%, who received either combination or monotherapy iron chelation agents. Outcome effectiveness was determined by the reduction of serum ferritin level of at least 80%. Safety was analyzed descriptively. A pharmacoeconomic analysis was performed based on clinical outcomes consisting of effectiveness and direct medical costs. Results At the end of the study, serum ferritin was reduced in 34.7% of the combination therapy group and 27.5% of the monotherapy group, however there was no significant difference between the two treatments (P=0.391). Nine (19.5%) patients on combination therapy and 17 (21.2%) patients on monotherapy had adverse drug reaction (ADR), with the most frequently reported ADR was elevated transaminase enzyme levels. Cost minimization analysis revealed that monotherapy for 6 months was IDR 13,556,592.64 less expensive than combination therapy (IDR 44,498,732.07); whereas monotherapy for 12 months was IDR 20,162,836.10 less expensive than combination therapy (IDR 78,877,661.12). Conclusion Combination regimens are as effective as monotherapy regimens in reducing serum ferritin in pediatric β-thalassemia major patients. There is no differences of ADR between combination or monotherapy. The average cost per patient is less expensive with monotherapy compared to combination therapy.

Abstract

Introduction: 14-3-3 protein plays an important role in protecting cardiac cells from hypertrophy and endoplasmic reticulum stress during pressure overload elicited by aortic banding (AB) surgery; however, the relation among these protective roles is largely unknown. Methods: We investigated the in vivo role of 14-3-3 protein in two protocols involving C57/BL-6 mice and dominant negative (DN) 14-3-3η mice subjected to three- or seven-days pressure overload stimulation by applying AB surgery. The protein expressions of cardiac hypertrophy and ER stress markers, including atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), galectin-3, glucose-regulated protein (GRP)78, calreticulin as well as 14-3-3 protein was analyzed by western blot. Results: Three- or seven-day pressure overload stimulation significantly increased the heart weight/body weight (HW/BW) ratio; cardiomyocyte diameter; and the protein expression levels of ANP, GRP78 as well as 14-3-3 in the C57/BL-6 mice. Partial inactivation of 14-3-3 protein in the DN 14-3-3η mice significantly increased the protein expression of ANP, Galectin-3, GRP78, and calreticulin after three- or seven-days AB surgery. Conclusion: These results suggest that 14-3-3 protein, as a molecular chaperone, protects against pathological cardiac hypertrophy, at least in part, by maintaining the normal ER function through the regulation of GRP78 and calreticulin.

Abstract

Uremic cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease. Fluid overload and oxidative stress play important roles in its pathogenesis. This study aims to determine the effect of quercetin on uremic cardiomyopathy in 5/6-nephrectomized rats. To our knowledge, its cardioprotective effect on uremic cardiomyopathy induced in rats by 5/6 nephrectomy has not been investigated yet. Uremia was induced surgically in male Sprague-Dawley rats via 5/6 nephrectomy. Quercetin was administered per orally at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day for 8 weeks prior to sacrifice. Meanwhile, captopril was administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day. Lipid peroxidation was assessed using TBARS reaction, while GPX activity was determined to explore the endogen antioxidant mechanism. Myocardial fibrosis was analyzed using Massons’ Trichrome staining and the level of NT-proBNP in plasma was measured as a marker of cardiac dysfunction. Nephrectomy 5/6 had no effects on plasma NT– proBNP levels, cardiac and plasma MDA levels, but induced mild myocardial fibrosis and significant increase in cardiac GPX activity in comparison with normal rat (p<0.05). However, administration of quercetin or captopril did not ameleriote those mild myocardial fibrosis and increased GPX activity. Uremic cardiomyopathy induced by 5/6 nephrectomy demonstrated mild myocardial fibrosis but preservation of cardiac function demonstrated by NT-proBNP levels. Increased of GPX activity in the nephrectomized-rats compared to the control rats (p<0.05) suggests induction of antioxidant defense mechanisms that might not be exhausted yet. This condition highlighted a compensatory phase which was unchanged following chronic administration of either quercetin or captopril.

Abstract

Platinum-based chemotherapy regimens with two types of drugs, such as paclitaxel-carboplatin and pemetrexedcarboplatin, are first-line therapy for pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients with negative epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation. This study aimed to determine the efficacy, toxicity, and cost profile of paclitaxel-carboplatin compared to pemetrexed-carboplatin. This is a cross-sectional study. Pulmonary adenocarcinoma negative EGFR mutation naïve patients treated with paclitaxel-carboplatin or pemetrexed-carboplatin were included. Effectiveness was assessed based on the overall response rate (ORR) according to the response evaluation criteria in solid tumours (RECIST). A pharmacoeconomic analysis is performed based on clinical outcomes consisting of effectiveness and direct medical costs. Medical records from 21 patients with paclitaxel-carboplatin and 21 patients with pemetrexedcarboplatin were successfully evaluated. The effectiveness of the two chemotherapy regimens was not significantly different (OR, 1.25; 95% confidence interval, 0.34 to 4.64; p = 0.739). Frequent haematological toxicities experienced in the two groups were grade 1-2 anaemia, neutropenia, leukopenia. Grade 3 anaemia, leukopenia, and neutropenia were more common in the paclitaxel-carboplatin group. The two groups’ nonhematological toxicities were nausea vomitus and hair loss, with peripheral neuropathy more experienced by the paclitaxel-carboplatin group. Costminimization analysis reveals that the average cost per patient with pulmonary adenocarcinoma negative EGFR mutation with paclitaxel-carboplatin regimen was cheaper IDR 10,986,257.55 or 50.25%, compared to pemetrexedcarboplatin. In conclusion, there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of the two regimens. The most common adverse effects in both regimens were haematological toxicities. The average cost per patient with a paclitaxel-carboplatin regimen was cheaper compared to pemetrexed-carboplatin.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Many hypotheses regarding the pathophysiology of enterocolitis in aganglionic megacolon or Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) has been proposed. Paneth cells are columnar intestinal epithelial cells that have an important role in maintaining of intestinal homeostasis as a bactericide. Since enterocolitis in HSCR may have association with Paneth cells metaplasia and hyperplasia, current study investigated Paneth cells metaplasia and hyperplasia in the sigmoid colon of HSCR rat model and its products, namely a-defensins and IL-1b, in the sigmoid colon tissues.METHODS: Aganglionosis-induced and control Sprague-Dawley rats were euthanized on Day (D)-7, -14, -17, -19, -21, -23, -25, and -28. Sigmoid colon tissue was isolated at each time point, and degree of enterocolitis as well as Paneth cells metaplasia and hyperplasia were analyzed by Hematoxylin-eosin staining, then protein levels of a-defensins and interleukin (IL)-1b were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).RESULTS: Enterocolitis scores increased with time. The Paneth cells metaplasia and hyperplasia were observed on D14 until D28 (p<0.01 vs. control group) followed by an increased in the levels of IL-1b. The levels of a-defensins protein expression were initially increased (D7-D14; p<0.01 vs. control group) but then undergo reciprocal changes on D19 until D28 (p<0.01 vs. D7 and D14). Positive correlations between the degree of enterocolitis and Paneth cells number were detected in the sigmoid colon (r=0.42).CONCLUSION: Paneth cells underwent metaplasia and hyperplasia in the sigmoid colon of HSCR rats corresponding to an increase in the degree of enterocolitis, but not followed by an increase in the level of a-defensins as well as IL-1b, suggesting that there is an involvement of Paneth cells in the pathophysiology of enterocolitis due to HSCR.KEYWORDS: Hirschsprung, enterocolitis, defensins; metaplasia, Paneth cell, animal model

Abstract

Obesity, lack of physical activity, and genetic predisposition might play a pivotal role in pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. Cardiac function alteration including hemodynamic changes, contractility function, arrhythmia, and cellular respiratory function, might happen due to chronic condition in metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance, neurohormonal activation and chronic inflammation might contribute to these changes. Cardiomyocyte had capabilities to adapt from these abnormalities, one of them is the activation of cellular pathway to resist cardiac injury from metabolic syndrome. This molecular pathway involves three proteins, including AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-α (PGC-1α). The aim of this narrative review is to elucidate role of AMPK, SIRT1, and PGC-1α in cardiac adaptation against cardiac dysfunction in metabolic syndrome. AMPK, SIRT-1, and PGC-1α contribute to adapt and to repair the cardiac injury resulting from celullar and mechanical stress from metabolic syndrome and prevent cardiac remodeling event. Several pathological events, such as insulin resistance, induce alteration of switching energy fuel to the heart, causing cardiomyocte to rely on glucose metabolism and lipotoxicity, leading to damages of cardiomyocyte through reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and lipid peroxidation. Increase of ROS promotes cardiac injury followed by necrotic and apoptotic events. AMPK, SIRT1, and PGC-1α act as cardioprotector molecule against metabolic syndrome insults to several mechanism such as: AMPK play role as counter act of lipotoxicity and insulin resistance through increasing insulin sensitivity and regulate redox reaction. SIRT1 plays role in regulating apoptotic genes and PGC-1α repairs cardiac fuel sources. Activation of AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α prevent cardiac remodeling due to metabolic syndrome by increasing insulin sensitivity, increases mitochondrial biogenesis and reduce pro-apoptotic signals in cardiomyocte.Keywords: AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-α, cardiac remodeling, metabolic syndrome

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is linked to hepatic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. This study evaluated 6-gingerol’s potential to alleviate ER stress in a high-fat high-fructose (HFHF)-induced MetS rat model. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (8 weeks, 180–220 g) were assigned to five groups: Normal, HFHF, and HFHF with 6-gingerol (50, 100, or 200 mg/kg). The Normal group received a standard diet, while others had HFHF for 16 weeks. From Week 8, intervention groups received 6-gingerol daily. Except for Normal, other groups also received Streptozotocin (22mg/kg, i.p.) at Week 8. At Week 16, rats were euthanized, and liver tissues collected to assess ER stress markers (GRP78, IRE1, TRAF2, PERK, CHOP) via qPCR and apoptotic markers (Bax, Bcl-2) via ELISA. 6-Gingerol slightly reduced liver ER stress markers, including GRP78 (P=0.392), CHOP (P=0.798), IRE1 (P=0.419), TRAF2 (P=0.470), and PERK (P=0.357), but these changes were not significant. Similarly, apoptotic markers Bax and Bcl-2 showed no significant differences, though the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio decreased (P=0.186). These results indicate that 6-gingerol had only a slight effect on ER stress and apoptosis within the parameters of this experiment.
