Abstract

Karsinoma payudara merupakan kanker pada wanita dengan frekuensi tertinggi di dunia dan merupakan penyebab kematian utama. Pasien karsinoma payudara mengalami periode stres fisik dan emosional yang mendorong diproduksinya protein seperti interleukin-6 (IL-6). Interleukin-6 berperan penting dalam tumorigenesis karsinoma payudara melalui aktivasi jalur janus kinase (JAK). Penelitian ini mengukur kadar IL-6 serum yang berperan penting pada patogenesis molekuler proses metastasis pada karsinoma payudara lanjut lokal (KPLL) dibandingkan dengan karsinoma payudara bermetastasis (KPM). Rancangan penelitian adalah potong lintang, analitik komparatif dengan membandingkan kadar IL-6 serum rata-rata pada kedua kelompok KPLL dan KPM. Penelitian dilakukan di Rumah Sakit Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung (RSHS) dari Juni–November 2012. Subjek penelitian adalah 35 pasien yang terdiri atas 18 KPLL dan 17 KPM. Kadar IL-6 diukur dengan teknik pemeriksaan enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini kadar IL-6 serum rata-rata pada KPLL 4,99 pg/mL dan kadar IL-6 serum pada KPM 32,73 pg/mL. Terdapat perbedaan bermakna kadar IL-6 serum antara KPLL dan KPM, p<0,01. Hasil analisis dengan uji chi-kuadrat pada derajat kepercayaan 95%, bahwa terdapat hubungan kadar IL-6 serum dengan kejadian metastasis. Subjek dengan kadar IL-6 serum >9,85 pg/mL memiliki risiko kejadian metastasis 37,5 kali dibandingkan dengan kadar IL-6 serum ≤9,85 pg/mL. Simpulan, kadar IL-6 serum pada KPM lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan KPLL. [MKB. 2014;46(1):15–21]Kata kunci: Interleukin-6, KPLL, KPMSerum Interleukin-6 Levels in Locally Advanced and Metastatic Breast CancerBreast carcinoma is a cancer in women with the highest frequency in the world and is the leading cause of death. Patients with breast carcinoma experience periods of stress both physical and emotional which encourages them to produce proteins such as interleukin-6 (IL-6). Interleukin-6 plays an important role in tumorigenesis via activation of janus activated kinase (JAK). This study measured the levels of serum IL-6 which plays an important role in the molecular pathogenesis of metastasis in locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) compared to metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The study design was cross-sectional, comparative analytics by comparing the mean levels of IL-6 in both groups: LABC and MBC. The study was conducted at the Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung (RSHS) from June–November 2012. Subjects were 35 women consisting of 18 LABC and 17 MBC. Levels of serum IL-6 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. The results of this study show that the mean levels of serum IL-6 on LABC 4.99 pg/mL and the mean levels of serum IL-6 on MBC 32.73 pg/mL. There was a significant difference between the levels of serum IL-6 on LABC and MBC, p<0.01. Results of the analysis with chi-square test shows there is a correlation between level of IL-6 with metastasis incidence. Subjects with levels of serum IL-6>9.85 pg/mL had 37,5 times higher risk for incidence of metastasis. In conclusion, the levels of serum IL-6 on MBCare higher than LABC.

Abstract

There are currently still limitations in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). Sputum collection as specimen for diagnosis is not only difficult but also has low sensitivity.In blood, IP-10/CXCL-10 chemokine plays a role in inducing the movements of chemotactic inflammatory cells towards the sites of inflammation. A high level of IP-10 is found in active pulmonary TB patients and significantly decline after the patients have completed the TB treatments. The aim of this study was to analyze the decline of the IP-10 level before and after 2 months of TB treatment. This study was conducted from March­ toJuni 2020. This was a comparative observational cohort study on active pulmonary TB patients who were >18 years old at the DOTS Clinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung. Thirty patients who met the inclusion criteria were followed up until 2 months of TB treatment. Serum of  these patients were collected and examined for the IP-10 level before and after 2 months of TB treatment. It was demonstrated that the median IP-10 level in new active pulmonary TB patients was 384.1 pg/mL (136.70–779.80) and dropped to 251.85 pg/mL (91.10–698.30) (p<0l001) two months of TB treatment. Thus, the IP-10 level in the active pulmonary TB patients is significantly declined (p<0.001) after 2 months of TB treatment and that serum IP-10 level could be considered as a non-sputum-based marker to monitor TB treatment.

Abstract

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the hospital is found mainly in surgical patients, which increases morbidity and mortality. Currently, vancomycin is the drug of choice for the treatment of MRSA infections. The increasing use of vancomycin and its inappropriate administration may increase the resistance of S. aureus to vancomycin. This study aimed to describe the distribution of MRSA and types of antibiotics that are still sensitive to MRSA in surgical and non-surgical patients. This cross-sectional, observational, retrospective descriptive study was conducted at the Microbiology Laboratory, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, in 2019 using secondary data on the results of culture examination and antibiotic susceptibility of positive S. aureus culture isolates from all types of isolates from surgical and non-surgical patients. All specimens were cultured in appropriate media. Identification of S. aureus was performed by Gram staining to identify bacterial morphology, and automatic tools. Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed using an automatic machine. Seventy-five isolates (17%) were identified to be MRSA with 46 (53%) of them retrieved from surgical patients. Most of the MRSA isolates came from pus and were mostly due to skin infections. Antibiotic susceptibility results showed two Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) isolates from surgical patients. The positive culture of the MRSA and VRSA was dominated by surgical patients with pus coming from surgical wound infection, burn, and other skin infection as the most common sources. Thus, the proportion of MRSA isolates in the hospital in 2019 is 17% and two VRSA isolates are identified in the same year. The surgical ward was the primary origin of most MRSA isolates. Further studies are necessary to identify the MRSA incidence rate, evaluation and periodic monitoring of antibiotic use, and active surveillance in the surgical patient rooms.
