Abstract

Latar Belakang: Disabilitas intelektual atau yang sebelumnya disebut dengan retardasi mental merupakan suatu gangguan perkembangan yang ditandai dengan kekurangan atau keterbatasan fungsi intelektual dan perilaku adaptif dengan skor IQ (intelligence quotient) di bawah 70. Onsetnya terjadi sebelum usia anak mencapai 18 tahun. Terdapat banyak faktor penyebab terkait dengan disabilitas intelektual yang telah diklasifikasikan menjadi genetik dan non genetik. Down syndrome dan Fragile-X syndrome (FXS) menjadi dua penyebab genetik paling sering pada disabilitas intelektual. Disabilitas intelektual pada anak menjadi masalah kesehatan yang serius di setiap negara. Di Indonesia, terdapat 38.545 anak dengan disabilitas intelektual yang terdaftar di sekolah luar biasa (SLB). Cirebon memiliki 15 SLB untuk anak-anak dengan disabilitas intelektual dengan jumlah total 975 siswa. Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan tentang disabilitas intelektual terhadap tingkat kecemasan orang tua yang memiliki anak dengan disabilitas intelektual. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analitik observasional dengan desain Cross sectional yang melibatkan 51 orang tua siswa disabilitas intelektual di SLB-C Pancaran Kasih dan SLBN Budi Utama Kota Cirebon yang didapatkan dengan teknik pengambilan Total Sampling. Data diperoleh dengan pengisian kuesioner kepada responden. Data di analisis dengan uji korelasi Spearman. Hasil: Mayoritas orang tua yang memiliki anak dengan disabilitas intelektual di SLB-C Pancaran Kasih dan SLBN Budi Utama Kota Cirebon (39,2%) memiliki pengetahuan kategori cukup mengenai disabilitas intelektual dan 37,3% memiliki kecemasan yang termasuk dalam kategori sedang. Hasil analisis data menunjukan P-value <0.001 dan nilai r 0,839 (sangat kuat). Arah korelasi menunjukkan nilai positif, maka hubungan kedua variabel adalah searah (semakin berkurang pengetahuan orang tua tentang disabilitas intelektual maka akan semakin berat tingkat kecemasan orang tua yang memiliki anak dengan disabilitas intelektual). Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan antara pengetahuan orang tua tentang disabilitas intelektual dengan tingkat kecemasan orang tua yang memiliki anak dengan disabilitas intelektual.Kata Kunci: Pengetahuan, Tingkat Kecemasan, Disabilitas Intelektual.ABSTRACTBackground:Intellectual disability or previously referred to asmental retardation is a developmental disorder characterized by lack or limitation of intellectual function and adaptive behavior with an IQ (intelligence quotient) score below 70.The onset occurs before the child reaches the age of 18 years.There are many causal factors associated with intellectual disabilities that have been classified into genetic and non-genetic.Down syndromeandFragile-X syndrome(FXS) are the two most common genetic causes of intellectual disabilities.Intellectual disability in children is a serious health problem in every country.In Indonesia, there are 38,545 children with intellectual disabilities enrolled in outstanding schools (SLB).Cirebon has 15 SLB for children with intellectual disabilities with a total of 975 students.

Abstract

Background: Alternative medicine using animal is still rare whereas Indonesia have a lot of potential natural resources. Catfish is easily found animal in Indonesia and is common consumed as nutriment sources contains albumin, amino acid and fatty acids which plays an essential role of wound healing process. This study will determine effect of orally administered catfish (Clarias gariepinus) skin and meat on epithelialization thickness and collagen density in incision wound of white male rat (Rattus norvegicus). Methods: This experimental post-test only group design used 30 white male rat (Rattus norvegicus), that randomly divided into 4 tratment goup and one control group. The treatment group was given 12,5 mg/g W, 25 mg/g W, 37,5 mg/g W and 50 mg/g W dose of catfish (Clarias gariepinus) skin and meat flour, in the other hand the contol group were given aquades. Non-parametric analyses using Kruscall- Wallis and Mann Whitney test were used to compare epithelization thickness and collagen density. Result: The comparison results of epithelialization thickness between group C with TGI, C with TG2, C with TG3 and C with TG4 showed significant differences (p<0.05). TG4 was the thickest of all groups. Significant differences were also observed in collagen density result between C with TGI, C with TG2, C with TG3 and C with TG4 (p <0,05) TG4 showed the highest density of all groups. Conclusion: Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) skin and meat flour with 50 mg/200g W dose is effective for wound healing and increasing epithelial thickness and collagen density in Wistar rat (Rattus norvegicus) incision wounds.

Abstract

Background: The incidence of a wound in Indonesia has increased from 7.5 percent in 2007 to 8.2 percent in 2013 according to Riskesdas. Wound care that widely used is povidone-iodine, but in case, it has a toxic effect on healthy cells around the wound. The albumin, amino acids, and fatty acids in Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) are the potential substances to accelerate the wound healing process. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) on wound length and fibroblast density on the incision wound of Wistar rat (Rattus norvegicus). Methods: The study was conducted in the Food and Nutrition PAU Laboratory and Pathology Anatomy Laboratory of Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta. This post-test only control group design experimental study used 30 male white rats that randomly divided into five groups, i.e. control group K, and treatment group P1, P2, P3 and P4 that were each given Tilapia with a dose of 12.5 mg/200gBW, 25 mg/200gBW, 37.5 mg/200gBW dan 50 mg/200gBW. The length of the wound was measured by a ruler each day. The rats were terminated on the 10th day to obtain wound tissue for H&E stained histopathological sections to observe fibroblast density. One Way ANOVA, Tamhane, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann Whitney tests were used to compare the wound length and fibroblasts density. Results: Incision wounds in this study showed the best wound healing on the 10th day. Based on the theory, on the 10th day, a proliferation and remodeling phase occurs. There is an effect of giving Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) orally at a different dose. Tilapia at dose 37.5mg/200gBW is more effective compared with the dose of 12.5mg/200gBW, 25mg/200gBW, and 50mg/200gBW to accelerate wound healing for wound length and fibroblast density in Wistar rat (Rattus norvegicus). Conclusion: Consuming Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) could be a new alternative for wound healing treatment. The antimicrobial ability of Tilapia should be analyzed. Keywords: wound healing, wound length, fibroblast density, Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus

Abstract

Background: Treatment for wounds that are currently often given is use povidone-iodine. But, this antiseptics also kills fibroblast tissue which is useful for forming new tissue. One of the other ways to treatment for wounds is use catfish. The contents found in catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is albumin which is a globular protein that is useful in the formation of body tissues, such as postoperative wounds and burns. This study aims to determine the effect of skin and meat of catfish (Clarias gariepinus) on wound length and fibroblast density in incision wounds of Wistar rat (Rattus norvegicus). Methodology: This study is an experimental study with Post Test Only Control Group Design using Wistar rats which are divided into five groups. The control group (aquadest) and treatment groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 are given the skin and meat of catfish (Clarias gariepinus) orally at a dose of 12.5 mg / 200 g BW, 25 mg / 200 g BW, 37.5 mg / 200 g BW, and 50 mg / 200 g BW. After 10 days, the rats are killed to take the wound tissue for histological preparations to observe fibroblast density. Then, it is analyzed by ANOVA test or the alternative. Results: There is an effect of giving catfish skin and meat (Clarias gariepinus) orally at different dose. The administration of catfish skin and meat (Clarias gariepinus) at a dose of 37.5 mg / 200 g BW and 50 mg / 200 g BW is better than other doses assessed from wound length and fibroblast density in Wistar rat incision wounds (Rattus norvegicus). Conclusion: The use of catfish for wound healing can be applied. This method can reduce wound length and increase fibroblast density at certain doses.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Hipertensi menyebabkan 7,5 juta kematian per tahun dan menyumbang sekitar 12,8% dari total seluruh kematian di dunia. Salah satu patogenesis dari penyakit ini adalah gangguan regulasi sistem renin-angiotensin-aldosteron (RAAS) yang diduga diperantarai salah satunya oleh polimorfisme M235T di daerah promoter gen angiotensinogen (AGT). Beberapa penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan tekanan darah dapat terjadi melalui mekanisme inflamasi yang menyebabkan ketidakseimbangan vasokonstriktor dan vasodilator, trombogenesis, dan aktivasi trombosit. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan polimorfisme M235T gen AGT dengan inflamasi pembuluh darah pada pasien hipertensi esensial. Metode: Penelitian observasional analitik dengan desain potong lintang yang dilakukan di Puskesmas Plumbon dan melibatkan 50 orang. Data diperoleh dengan cara pemeriksaan menggunakan PCR-RFLP dan pemeriksaan hitung darah lengkap. Analisis data dilakukan dengan metode koefisien kontingensi dan perhitungan rasio prevalensi. Hasil: Mayoritas subjek penelitian ini memiliki polimorfisme M235T (94%) dan mengalami inflamasi pembuluh darah (66%). Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa secara statistik hubungan antara polimorfisme M235T gen AGT dengan inflamasi pembuluh darah tidak bermakna (p = 0,218), tetapi hasil perhitungan rasio prevalensi menunjukkan penderita hipertensi esensial dengan polimorfisme M235T gen AGT berisiko untuk mengalami inflamasi pembuluh darah. (PR = 2,06). Kesimpulan: Tidak didapatkan hasil yang bermakna pada hubungan polimorfisme M235T gen AGT dengan inflamasi pembuluh darah pada pasien hipertensi esensial. Kata Kunci: polimorfisme M235T gen AGT; inflamasi vaskular; PLR, hipertensi. ABSTRACT Background: Hypertension causes 7.5 million deaths per year and accounts for around 12.8% of all world deaths. One of the pathogenesis of this disease is the disruption of the regulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) which is thought to be mediated one of them by the M235T polymorphism in the angiotensinogen gene promoter (AGT) region. Some studies also show that increased blood pressure can occur through inflammatory mechanisms that cause vasoconstrictor and vasodilator imbalances, thrombogenesis, and platelet activation. Aim: This study aims to determine the relationship of M235T polymorphism of AGT gene with vascular inflammation in patients with essential hypertension. Methods: An analytic observational study with cross sectional design conducted at Puskesmas Plumbon and involved 50 people. Data obtained by PCR-RFLP and complete blood count. Data analysis was performed using the contingency coefficient method and prevalence ratio calculations. Results: The majority of study subjects had M235T polymorphisms (94%) and had vascular inflammation (66%). The analysis showed that statistically, the relationship between M235T polymorphism of AGT gene with vascular inflammation was not significant (p = 0.218) but the prevalence ratio showed that patients with essential hypertension with M235T polymorphism of AGT gene have  a risk of vascular inflammation (PR = 2,06). Conclusion: There is no relationship between M235T polymorphism of AGT gene with vascular inflammation. Keywords: M235T polymorphism of AGT gene; vascular inflammation; PLR; hypertension.
