Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by Mycobacteriun Tuberculosis. Its cases continue to increase both in Indonesia, and in the world. Efforts to increase the success rate of TB treatment and reduce the level of transmission need to continue to be developed, one of which is with additional therapy in its treatment. Omega-3 has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial potential, which is predicted to increase the success of TB treatment, as seen from sputum conversion, increased body mass index (BMI) and important inflammatory parameters in TB infection namely interleukin-6 (IL-6), monocyte lymphocyte ratio (MLR) values. This study was conducted to determine the effect of Omega-3 addition on sputum conversion, BMI, IL-6 levels and MLR values in pulmonary tuberculosis treatment. Experimental study with consecutive sampling in drug-sensitive pulmonary TB patients who were given additional Omega-3 dose of 1,200 mg (@600mg/capsule), compared with the control group. Each sample was monitored for sputum conversion, BMI, IL-6 levels and MLR values at week 0 (m0), week 4 (m4) and week 8 (m8). In this study, there was a significant effect of adding Omega-3 on reducing IL-6 levels (p= 0.013), reducing MLR values (p= 0.005) and increasing BMI (p= 0.047) but no significant effect on sputum conversion (p= 1,000). The addition of Omega-3 had a significant effect on reducing IL-6 levels, reducing MLR values and increasing BMI, but did not have a significant effect on sputum conversion in pulmonary TB treatment.

Abstract

Introduction: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is common in cancer patients and is often caused by neoplastic involvement of the pleural surface. This study aimed to determine the utility of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectral analysis and anatomical pathological differentiation in MPE, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and lung adenocarcinoma as prognostic predictors. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design at Ulin General Hospital, Banjarmasin, involving advanced lung cancer patients with MPE. A non-probability sampling technique was used to recruit 30 patients. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was analyzed to evaluate anatomical pathology differentiation. Results: Differences were observed in the FTIR spectral ratios A1080/A1243 and A1080/A1170 between SCC and adenocarcinoma, with p-values of 0.026 and 0.022, respectively. Significant differences were also found in the A2959/A1545 ratio between well-differentiated and poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas, with a p-value of 0.023. The receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) indicated good predictive value for poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma at a cut-off value of 0.944, with a sensitivity of 50% and specificity of 100%. However, no significant correlation was found between FTIR absorbance and anatomical pathology differentiation in MPE due to SCC and lung adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: The FTIR spectral ratios A1080/A1243 and A1080/A1170 differentiate SCC from adenocarcinoma. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy may be an adjunct to cytology, offering a more rapid and cost-effective method for differentiating MPE.
