Abstract

Kanamisin adalah obat untuk terapi tuberkulosis resistan obat (TB RO) yang menimbulkan efek samping gangguan pendengaran, gangguan fungsi ginjal, dan gangguan elektrolit terutama hipokalemia. Penelitian bertujuan menilai kesintasan waktu timbulnya efek samping dan pengaruh faktor risiko usia, riwayat terapi streptomisin serta berat badan terhadap efek samping akibat pemberian kanamisin pasien TB RO. Penelitian kohort retrospektif dari data rekam medis pasien TB RO dari Januari 2011 sampai April 2017 di RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta. Analisis pengaruh faktor risiko terhadap efek samping menggunakan uji cox regression. Dari 238 pasien didapatkan gangguan pendengaran 143 pasien, gangguan fungsi ginjal 147 pasien, dan hipokalemia 169 pasien. Usia lebih dari 40 tahun hazard ratio (HR) 2,419 (IK: 95%; 1,716–3,409; p= 0,000) dan jenis kelamin perempuan HR: 1,549 (IK: 95%; 1,089–2,202; p= 0,015) berisiko terjadi gangguan pendengaran. Usia lebih dari 40 tahun HR: 1,892 (IK: 95%; 1,353–2,646; p= 0,000) dan jenis kelamin perempuan HR: 1,667 (IK: 95%; 1,179–2,357; p= 0,004) berisiko terjadi gangguan fungsi ginjal. Riwayat streptomisin sebelumnya dan indeks massa tubuh (IMT) tidak berisiko timbul efek samping akibat pemberian kanamisin. Pengawasan ketat timbulnya efek samping gangguan pendengaran dan gangguan fungsi ginjal pasien usia lebih dari 40 tahun dan perempuan pada pengobatan TB RO.Kata kunci: Efek samping, gangguan fungsi ginjal, gangguan pendengaran, kanamisin, TB resistan obat Effects of Risk Factors on the Onset of Kanamycin’s Adverse Events in Drug Resistant TuberculosisKanamycin is a therapy for drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) which may cause hearing loss, impaired kidney function, and electrolyte disorders, especially hypokalemia. The objective of this study was to assess patient survival and the effects of risk factors such as age, previous history of streptomycin therapy, and weight on adverse events due to kanamycin administration in patients with drug resistant TB. A retrospective cohort study was conducted in TB patients by using medical records from January 2011 to April 2017 in Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the relation between risk factors and adverse events. Of 238 patients, 143 patients experienced hearing loss, 147 patients experienced impaired kidney function, and 169 patients had hypokalemia. Age over 40 and female gender had higher risks for hearing loss and impaired kidney function (HR: 2.419 (95% CI: 1.716–3.409; p= 0,000) and HR: 1,892 (95% CI: 1.353–2.646; p=0,000); HR: 1.549 (95%CI: 1.089–2.202; p=0,015), and HR: 1.667 (95% CI: 1.179–2.357; p=0.004)), respectively. History of streptomycin and body mass index (BMI) were not risk factors for  kanamycin’s adverse events. Therefore, closed monitoring on hearing loss and impaired kidney function is necessary for drug resistant TB patients aged over 40, and female patients. Key words: Adverse events, drug resistant tuberculosis, hearing loss, impaired kidney function, kanamycin

Abstract

Background: Uric acid can be used as a biomarker to distinguish transudates from pleural fluid exudates. Uric acid is soluble in liquid media, elevated levels of uric acid in blood plasma become a predisposing factor for uric crystal deposits in tissues and body fluids. Increased permeability due to changes in capillary pleural pressure in the formation of transudates is a cause of increased levels of uric acid in pleural fluid. The aim of the study was to analyze the examination of pleural fluid uric acid levels and the ratio of uric acid levels to pleural fluid to serum to distinguish exudates and transudates in pleural effusion. Methods: A cross sectional diagnostic test with a cross sectional study design in pleural effusion patients at RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta in July-August 2019. Subjects were examined for pleural fluid levels, serum uric acid ratio, and pleural fluid analysis. Results: A total of 30 pleural effusion patients were included in this study. The level of agreement between the uric acid pleural fluid against Light criteria was in the moderate category and statistically significant (Kappa = 0.595; P=0.001). The level of agreement between the ratio of uric acid to pleural fluid and serum to Light's criteria was weak and not statistically significant (Kappa = 0.200; p = 0.195) Conclusion: The level of concordance between pleural fluid uric acid with Light criteria is in the medium category and statistically significant. There is no match between the ratio of serum pleural fluid uric acid levels with Light criteria. (J Respir Indo. 2020; 40(2): 82-6)

Abstract

Background: Pleural effusion can be an early sign of lung cancer in more than 25% of cases. Lung cancer is the most common cause of ma­lignant pleural effusion (MPE). Pleuro­desis is performed when the amount of pleu­ral fluid is <150 ml/day, but it is difficult as its productive nature. This study aimed to find the right time to perform pleurodesis on patients with MPE, which is expected to achieve optimal results.Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sec­tio­nal study conducted at Dr. Moewardi Hos­pital, Surakarta, Central Java, from June to July 2020. The study subjects were 17 pati­ents with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) diag­nos­ed with lung cancer who underwent water seal drainage (WSD) and indicated for pleurodesis. The dependent variable was the success of the pleurodesis procedure. The independent varia­bles were the amount of evacuated pleural fluid and the time of pleu­rodesis performed. The stu­dy instruments were diagnosis of lung cancer with anatomic pathology, measurement of the amount of pleural fluid, and posteroanterior chest X-ray evaluating the success of pleuro­desis. The data were analyzed using Spearman corre­lation, ANOVA to determine the differen­ces in the amount of pleural fluid at the first, second, and third hours, and continued with post hoc LSD analysis using SPSS 21.Results: The pleurodesis success rate had posi­tive correlation with the amount of pleural fluid (r= 0.24; p= 0.345) and the time of pleu­ro­­desis performed at the first hour (r= 0.10; p= 0.701), second hour (r= 0.03; p= 0.921), and third hour (r= 0.41; p= 0.106). Pleurodesis per­form­ed at the second hour had the lowest amount of pleural fluid (Mean= 84.66; SD= 38.88), followed by third hour (Mean= 110.77; SD= 65.57), and first hour (Mean= 111.22; SD= 57.83), but the differences were not statistically significant (p= 0.285).Conclusion: The pleurodesis success rate has a positive correlation with the amount of pleu­ral fluid and the time of pleurodesis, but it was not statistically significant. There is no signifi­cant difference in the amount of pleural fluid eva­cuated at the three different times of pleuro­desis. The least amount of pleural fluid obtains at the second hour (14.00-22.00).Keywords: malignant pleural effusion, amou­nt of pleural fluid, pleurodesis, pleuro­desis timeCorrespondence: Yusup Subagio Sutanto.

Abstract

Background: Multidrug-resistant tubercu­lo­sis (MDR-TB) is a serious threat to global TB control programs. According to WHO, there are 23,000 cases of TB multidrug-/rifampicin-resistant (MDR/RR-TB) in Indonesia. In 2017, there were 442,000 of TB cases. There were 8,600 - 15,000 MDR/RR-TB cases, of which 2.4% were new cases and 13% were previously treated TB cases. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the delay in diagnosis and treatment of MDR-TB patients.Subjects and Method: This study was a cross-sectional study conducted at Dr. Moe­wardi hospital, from Sep­tem­ber to October 2017, Surakarta, Central Java. A sample of 73 MDR-TB patients with disabilities on medical records was selected for this study. The depen­dent variables were delay in diagnosis and delay in therapy of MDR-TB cases. The inde­pendent variables were age, gender, distance to health facilities, and type of health facilities. Data were collected from medical records of MDR-TB patients who were treated from March 2012 to March 2017. Data were analyzed using the chi-square model.Results: Median delay in diagnosis = 4 days. Median treatment delay = 12 days. The average patient who had delayed MDR-TB therapy (≥4 days) was 44 years old (Mean= 44.19; SD= 12.64). Delay in MDR-TB diagnosis was not significantly associated with gender (OR= 0.53; 95% CI= 0.18 to 1.57; p= 0.264), distance to health facility (OR= 1.56; 95% CI= 0.58 to 4.21; p= 0.389), and type of health facility (OR= 0.60; 95% CI= 0.26 to 1.41; p= 0.983). The average of patient who had delayed MDR-TB therapy (≥12 days) was 41 years old (Mean= 41.39; SD= 12.69). Treatment delay was not significantly related to gender (OR= 0.45; 95% CI= 0.16 to 1.26; p= 0.137), distance to health facility (OR=1.44; 95% CI= 0.55 to 3.78; p= 0.466), and type of health facility (OR= 2.31; 95% CI= 1.03 to 5.21; p= 2.967).Conclusion: There was no statistically sig­nificant relationship between gender, dis­tance from the patient's home to health facilities, and type of health facility with the delay in diag­nosis and treatment of MDR-TB patients.Keywords: diagnosis, treatment, TB-MDRCorrespondence: Yusup Subagio Sutanto.

Abstract

Background: Light's criteria was reported 25% of misclassification transudates as exu­dates. This study aimed to analyse the accuracy of examining uric acid levels and pleural fluid uric acid levels, and pleural fluid cholesterol and cholesterol ratios to distinguish the exudates and transudates in pleural effusions.Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study de­sign conducted at Dr. Moe­wardi Hospital, Surakarta, Central Java, from July to August 2019. The study subjects were 30 pleural effusion patients treated in the pul­monology ward. The dependent variables were pleural fluid exudates and transudates. The indepen­dent variables were (1) Uric acid levels in pleu­ral fluid; (2) The ratio of uric acid levels be­tween pleural fluid and serum; (3) Pleural fluid cholesterol levels; and (4) The ratio of cho­lesterol levels between pleural fluid and serum. The study instruments were Light's cri­teria and laboratory examination. The diag­nosis's accuracy was analysed using sensi­tivi­ty, specificity, and the area under the ROC (AUC) curve.Results: Pleural fluid cholesterol showed sen­­sitivity and specificity of 86% and 83%, with a cut-off of 32.00 for transudate results. AUC value = 0.82 with p = 0.012. Serum cholesterol showed sensitivity and specificity of 71% and 61%, with a cut-off of 175.50 for transudate re­sults. AUC value = 0.67 with p = 0.194. Pleu­ral fluid uric acid levels showed a sensitivity and specificity of 86% and 87%, with a cut-off of 7.25 for transudate results. AUC value = 0.83 with p = 0.009. Examination of serum uric acid levels showed a sensitivity and specificity of 86% and 70%, with a cut-off of 7.10 for trans­udate results. AUC value = 0.65 with p = 0.249.Conclusion: Examination of uric acid and pleural fluid cholesterol levels can be used in routine pleural effusion examinations to distin­guish exudates and transudates.Keywords: accuracy, uric acid, exudates, cho­les­te­rol, transudatesCorrespondence: Yusup Subagio Sutanto.

Abstract

Prolonged MDR-TB therapy can have side effects, namely a correlation between cure rates and changes in bacterial profiles related to resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs (ATD) which can affect the incidence rate of MTB and MDR-TB in a region. The research objective was to analyze the effectiveness of the type of ATD against the resistance level of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isolates with the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) and MDR-TB. The research method used was a retrospective cohort based on tracing medical record data at the Surakarta City Center General Hospital 2016 until 2017 with total sampling. The independent variable of this study was the type of ATD, while the dependent variable was the resistance level of MTB isolates. The characteristics of the most patient respondent suspect TB were male with the level of resistance of MTB isolates to ATD relatively varied. The results of the analysis of different tests showed a p value of 0.000 so that the p value was <0.05, so there was an effect of the type of ATD (Strepttomycin, Isoniazid, Rifampicin and Ethambutol) on the resistance of TB isolates from patients with suspected TB. This is useful to determine the success of TB therapy in terms of mortality and the effectiveness of therapy in TB patients.

Abstract

BackgroundLung cancer is still the main cause of cancer deaths. The high lung cancer mortality rate is caused by a diagnosis factor or therapy selection. The cell block cytology technique using fine needle aspiration (FNA) samples can provide immunocytochemical material that plays an important role in the differential diagnosis of lung cancer subtypes and in determining immunotherapy administration. This study aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of transthoracic FNA (TTFNA) cell block cytology in comparison with bronchial washing smears and TTFNA smears in diagnosing lung cancer. MethodsThis was a cross-sectional diagnostic study involving 26 subjects. All subjects had undergone bronchial washing and CT scan-guided fine needle aspiration followed by cell block preparation. Both direct FNA smears and cell blocks are useful in the diagnostic work-up of patients. Comparative statistical analysis of TTFNA cell block versus bronchial washing smear and TTFNA smear cytology was carried out using the McNemar test. ResultsLung cancer was found in 15 patients (57.7%) using the TTFNA cell block technique. The sensitivity and specificity of the TTFNA cell block technique were 85.7% and 75%, respectively. There was no difference in the positivity value between TTFNA cell block technique of bronchial wash smear technique, and TTFNA smear on lung cancer diagnosis (p>0.05). ConclusionsTransthoracic fine-needle aspiration in combination with the cell block technique has good sensitivity and specificity. The TTFNA can be used for immunocytochemical examinations in lung cancer diagnosis and therapy. This approach is valuable for providing individualized treatment and prognostic evaluations.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infection caused by M. tuberculosis (MTb) and is transmitted through droplets of phlegm in the air from patients or those suspected of having TB. In general, treatment for TB is done with anti-tuberculosis drugs (ATDs), specifically streptomycin, isoniazid, rifampicin, and ethambutol (SIRE) that takes a long time due to the level of resistance of MTb bacteria. The resistance of MTb triggers ATDs based on natural bioactive compounds. Chitosan as a result of chitin deacetylation can function as an antimicrobial agent because it is polycationic, which is biodegradable, biocompatible, and non-toxic. Snail (Achatina fulica) seromucoid contains antibacterial bioactive compounds, namely glycans, peptides, glycopeptides, achasin protein, and chondroitin sulfate. This study aims at testing the sensitivity of MTb isolates against snail seromucoid and chitosan in vitro. This research applied the experimental research method. MTb isolates were obtained from sputum samples of patients suspected of TB at the Surakarta Regional Public Hospital (RSUD Surakarta). The results of screening for MTb were positive, based on the microscopic examination of MTb using the Ziehl Nelson (ZN) method, the MPT 64 rapid test, and the quick molecular test using the Genexpert method. The research was completed through several stages, including the preparation of a suspension of germs with a concentration of 1 mg/ml or Mc. Farland 0.5-1.0; preparation of the stock solution and working solution (WS); drug sensitivity test (DST) against snail seromucoid; chitosan and ATDs (SIRE) on Lowenstein Jensen (LJ) media; and incubation at 37°C for 3-4 weeks. The results were interpreted on day 28 or day 42. The results have revealed that MTb isolates are 100% resistant to snail seromucoid and 2% chitosan. This study concludes that MTb isolates from suspected TB are resilient to 100% snail seromucoid and 2% chitosan.

Abstract

Background: Harmful particles from cigarette smoke induces an inflammatory immune response in the lungs, followed by the release of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-8 and damages histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) in the cell core leading to glucocorticoid resistance in COPD.  Low dose Theophylline of below 10mg/L has an anti-inflammatory effect by activating HDAC.  This study aimed to analyze the effect of low dose theophylline on the clinical improvement of stable COPD patients assessed by the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score, IL-8 level, and sputum neutrophil count.Methods: We conducted a quasi-experimental clinical study using a pre-post test in stable COPD patients visiting the Pulmonary Outpatient Clinic of  DR. Moewardi hospital Surakarta, between July and September 2016.  The samples were taken using a consecutive sampling technique, assigned into two groups, treatment, receiving standard therapy plus 70 mg low dose theophylline per 8 hours, and control receiving standard therapy only.  CAT score, IL-8 level, and sputum neutrophil count were measured at baseline and four weeks after treatment.Results: The treatment group's CAT score decreased by 3.67±3.58 pg/ml and increased by 2.40±3.38 pg/ml in the control group (p=0.003).  IL-8 level decreased by 4.31±13.06 pg/ml in the treatment group and increased by 0.88±13.89 pg/ml in the control group (p=0.116).  The sputum neutrophil count decreased in both treatment and control groups by 4.00 ±40.33 pg/ml and 2. 87±39. 91 pg/ml (p=0.939).Conclusion: Statistically low dose theophylline significantly lowers the CAT score of stable COPD patients. It also decreases IL-8 level and sputum neutrophil count, although it is not significant.
