Abstract

BackgroundCondylomata acuminata (CA) are sexually transmitted infections primarily caused by low-risk HPV types 6 and 11. Retinoblastoma protein (pRb) interacts with HPV oncoproteins, leading to destabilization, genomic instability, and carcinogenesis. This study aimed to determine whether variations in pRb expression and sexual orientation are risk factors of the anatomical location of CA lesions and to compare differences in pRb expression by sexual orientation. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 33 patients aged >18 years with clinically and histopathologically confirmed CA. Demographic data, pRb expression assessed via excision biopsy and immunohistochemistry, and relevant risk factors were collected. Statistical analyses including Simple and multiple binary logistic regression were used to analyze the data, with model fit assessed using the Hosmer–Lemeshow test. ResultsWeak pRb expression predominated in anal lesions (92.3%; p=0.018) and among homosexual/bisexual individuals (57.9%; p=0.031), while moderate expression was more common in genital lesions (66.7%; p=0.018) and heterosexual individuals (57.1%; p=0.011). Simple logistic regression  analysis showed that HIV status (OR=11.88; p=0.025), sexual orientation (OR=13.33; p=0.001), and moderate-to-strong pRb expression (OR=24.00; p=0.008; OR=12.00; p=0.048) were associated with lesion location. In the multivariate model, pRb expression was excluded due to multicollinearity. Sexual orientation remained the only independent predictor of lesion location (Adj OR=8.89; p=0.023), with heterosexual individuals more likely to present with genital lesions. ConclusionThe expression of pRb was not a risk factor of the anatomical location of CA, and differed between genital and anal CA. However, sexual orientation emerged as the dominant independent factor associated with lesion location.

Abstract

Homosistein merupakan salah satu senyawa yang digunakan untuk menginduksi penyakit alzheimer pada tikus. Kadar homosistein yang tinggi memicu stress oksidatif, peradangan saraf dan pembentukan amiloid-beta pada otak. Hal ini dapat mempengaruhi fungsi otak yang terlibat dalam pengaturan nafsu makan sehingga dapat mengakibatkan penurunan berat badan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perubahan berat badan tikus yang diinjeksi homosistein selama 7 hari, 14 hari dan 21 hari. Sebanyak 9 ekor tikus galur Sprague dawley usia 8-12 minggu dengan berat 150-200gram dibagi menjadi 3 kelompok. Kelompok I, II dan III diinjeksi homosistein masing-masing selama 7, 14 dan 21 hari. Berat badan tikus ditimbang sebelum perlakuan, hari ke-7, hari ke-14 dan hari ke-21 setelah pemberian homosistein. Analisis data menggunakan uji paired t-test dan one-way Anova. Rata-rata berat badan tikus kelompok I, II dan III mengalami peningkatan masing-masing sebesar 3,33±1,15 gram; 5,00±2,00 gram; dan 2,33±3,51 gram. Hasil analisis statistik menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan berat badan yang signifikan antara sebelum dan sesudah injeksi homosistein selama 7 hari pada kelompok I (p=0,038) dan 14 hari pada kelompok II (p=0,049), sedangkan berat badan tikus pada kelompok III tidak mengalami perubahan yang signifikan (p=0,369). Tidak ada perbedaan berat badan yang signifikan antara kelompok I, II dan III setelah injeksi homosistein (p=0,182). Berat badan tikus model alzheimer setelah injeksi homosistein selama 7, 14, dan 21 hari mengalami perlambatan kenaikan berat badan. Kondisi ini mirip dengan pasien alzheimer yang pada umumnya mengalami penurunan berat badan sehingga perlu pemantauan asupan makan untuk mencegah penurunan berat badan lebih lanjut.

Abstract

Homosistein (hcy) adalah asam amino mengandung sulfur yang terbentuk selama metabolisme metionin asam amino esensial. Pemberian homosistein menyebabkan peningkatan stres oksidatif, kerusakan DNA, pemicu apoptosis dan eksitotoksisitas, yang penting dalam degenerasi saraf. Kadar homosistein yang meningkat menyebabkan neurotoksisitas dan atrofi otak pada Penyakit Alzheimer (AD). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengamati bobot otak tikus Sprague Dawley yang diinduksi Hcy selama 7, 14 dan 21 hari. Penelitian ini merupakan eksperimental laboratorik dengan posttest only group  design. Sembilan ekor tikus Sprague dawley umur 8-12 minggu dengan berat badan antara 150-200 gram dibagi secara acak menjadi 3 kelompok (n=3). Semua kelompok diberikan injeksi homosistein dengan dosis yang sama yaitu 0,4 mg / kg berat badan. Kelompok I, II dan III diinjeksi homosistein selama 7, 14, dan 21 hari untuk setiap kelompok secara berurutan. Pengamatan berat otak dilakukan setelah eutanasia pada hari ke 7, 14, dan 21 setelah perlakuan. Sampel berat otak diukur dengan menggunakan timbangan digital. Perbedaan berat otak antar kelompok dianalisis dengan menggunakan ANOVA. Hubungan antara berat otak dan lama injeksi homosistein dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji korelasi product-moment Pearson. Semua prosedur penelitian telah dilakukan dengan persetujuan dari Komite Etik Hewan Fakultas Kedokteran UNS No: 106/UN27.06.6.1/KEPK/EC/2020. Injeksi homosistein selama 7, 14 dan 21 hari tidak mengubah berat otak. Berat otak mengalami penurunan tetapi tidak signifikan secara statistik  (p=0,549). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan kadar homosistein tidak mempengaruhi berat otak tikus model penyakit Alzheimer.

Abstract

Background: Elevated levels of Dyslipidaemia pose a significant threat to cardiovascular health. Fortunately, the abundance of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids (PUFA and MUFA) present in avocado oil offers a promising avenue for individuals with Dyslipidaemia to improve their lipid profile levels.Objectives: The objective of this research is to ascertain the potential of avocado oil in improving triglyceride and HDL levels.Methods: A pre-post test control group design was employed, utilizing male Wistar rats aged 8 weeks with a body weight ranging from 150-200 g. The mice were segregated into six groups: N, K-, K+, P1, P2, and P3. Throughout the trial, solely group N abstained from ingesting avocado oil or HC. Conversely, all other groups were administered HC and subsequently, K+ was prescribed simvastatin while P1, P2 and P3 received avocado oil for a duration of 28 days. The data was subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS vr.25. The statistical significance threshold was set at p<0.05.Results: Mean changes in levels (mg/dL) for TG -29.67 (P1), -48.99 (P2), -56.78 (P3) and for HDL 41.75 (P1), 46.35 (P2). There was a significant difference in TG and HDL levels between P1, P2, P3 when compared with K- (p<0.05).Conclusion: Avocado oil exhibits efficacy in lowering TG levels and elevating HDL levels, rendering it a viable option for daily consumption.

Abstract

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) progression is critically influenced by the androgen receptor (AR), Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling axis. Although finasteride (FIN) is the standard therapeutic agent, its use is limited by adverse effects. This study evaluated the efficacy of Cosmos caudatus (CC) extract, administered alone or in combination with FIN, in modulating the AR–FGF-2–TGF-β axis in a testosterone-induced BPH rat model. Rats were divided into five groups (n = 6): Normal (N), BPH control (KN), FIN (KP; 0.44 mg/kg), CC extract (P1; 250 mg/kg), and combination (P2; CC 250 mg/kg + FIN 0.44 mg/kg). Prostatic AR, FGF-2, and TGF-β expression was analyzed using immunohistochemistry (IHC) with H-score quantification. Both KP and P1 significantly reduced AR (KP: 112 ± 15; P1: 105 ± 12 vs KN: 195 ± 18, p < 0.05) and FGF-2 (KP: 98 ± 14; P1: 92 ± 11 vs KN: 180 ± 20, p < 0.05), approaching normal values (AR N: 90 ± 10; FGF-2 N: 85 ± 9). In contrast, combination therapy (P2) failed to suppress AR (188 ± 17, p = 0.936) and FGF-2 (175 ± 19, p = 0.870) and induced a significant increase in TGF-β (P2: 145 ± 16 vs KN: 110 ± 12, p < 0.05). All treatment groups showed reduced epithelial thickness and prostate index (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that CC extract alone exerts therapeutic effects comparable to FIN by modulating the AR–FGF-2 axis, whereas combining it with FIN disrupts pathway regulation and promotes a pro-fibrotic response. The study supports the potential of CC extract as an effective alternative for BPH management without pharmacologic complications.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus induces oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction, accelerating atherosclerosis development marked by elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and interleukin-12 (IL-12). Diabetes often causes significant vascular changes, which can be represented by carotid tunica intima thickening and elevated renin level. Metformin, which remains as the standard therapy, has limited vascular effects. Vitamin D and magnesium exhibit vasoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties; however, their combined effects on diabetic vascular injury remain unclear. This study evaluated the effects of vitamin D and magnesium combination on serum hs-CRP, IL-12, renin, and carotid tunica intima thickness in diabetic rats.METHODS: Wistar rats were diabetic-induced by 45 mg/kg streptozotocin and 110 mg/kg nicotinamide. Following the induction, the rats were subsequently assigned to receive no treatment, metformin, or a combination of vitamin D and magnesium. Healthy rats were also included as control. Blood sample was collected after 21 days of treatment. Serum hs-CRP, IL-12, and renin were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), while the carotid tunica intima thickness was assessed by Doppler ultrasound.RESULTS: Diabetic rats showed significant increases hs-CRP, IL-12, renin level, and intima thickness (p<0.001) compared to control. Both metformin and combination of Vitamin D and magnesium reduced these parameters, with combination of Vitamin D and magnesium showing the greatest improvement. Carotid intima thickness in the combination of Vitamin D and magnesium group was comparable to normal controls, indicating marked vascular protection.CONCLUSION: Vitamin D and magnesium combination provided superior glycemic, anti-inflammatory, and vascular protective effects compared to metformin alone. This adjunctive strategy might have potential in preventing vascular complications in diabetes.KEYWORDS: diabetes mellitus, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, hs-CRP, IL-12, atherosclerosis

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, which often causes infertility, is characterized by a complex interplay between oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis. Currently, the most effective therapy used for endometriosis is hormonal treatments, however it has many common side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to explore alternative treatments for endometriosis, including herbal ingredients. Phaleria macrocarpa fruit contains flavonoids with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which have potency to improve fertility in endometriosis cases. However, assessments of whether P. macrocarpa might have any effect on oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis in relation to endometriosis are still limited. This study was conducted to identify the effect of P. macrocarpa fruit ethanol extract (PMFEE) in improving infertility by assessing oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis parameters in endometriosis mice model.METHODS: Female Balb/C mice were endometriosis-induced, and treated either with 6.5 µg/day Letrozole, 7.5 mg/kgBW/day PMFEE, or 15 mg/kgBW/day PMFEE for 14 days. Heatlhy mice were also included as control. Mice were necropsied, then the uterus and fat tissue around the uterus was collected. Malondialdehyde (MDA) as oxidative stress marker, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α as inflammatory marker, and Caspase-3 as apoptosis marker were assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).RESULTS: In uterus, MDA and TNF-α levels were significantly different among all groups (p<0.05). PMFEE both at 7.5 and 15 mg/kgBW/day lowered MDA and TNF-α compared to the healthy mice and mice receiving Letrozol. Meanwhile, Caspase-3 levels were quite indifferent among groups, showing that PMFEE was able to maintain the Caspase-3 levels in the endometriosis-induced mice.CONCLUSION: PMFEE reduces the MDA and TNF-α, also maintains Caspase-3 levels in the uterus of endometriosis-induced mice, suggesting it might have potential to improve fertility in endometriosis mice.KEYWORDS: Phaleria macrocarpa, endometriosis, infertility, MDA, TNF-α, Caspase-3
