Epilepsy is a serious disorder of the brain, affects almost fifty million people in the world. About 40% of the patients finally became refractory to epileptic drugs, especially those with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). This refractory condition may cause psychosocial decline, including patient’s intelligence. Surgical therapy has an important role in stopping further damage to brain cells caused by repeated seizures. The elimination of the seizure after surgery will hopefully results in better intelligence score. This study aims to find out the effect ofsurgical therapyin TLE patients after surgery. We were using a Quasi Experimental study with One Group Pre-test and Post-test design. The samples were taken with consecutive sampling method. Subjects were 15 TLE patients who underwent anterior temporal lobectomy and have passed at least one year postoperative period, and also had done an intelligence quotient (IQ) test before surgery. IQ before and after surgery were measured with WAIS and WISC-R method. The statistical tests used were paired t-test. We found the verbal IQ after surgery(98.8±9.88(76-119)) were significantly higher(p=0.01) comparedwithpreoperativeverbalIQ(92.7±9.60(77-113)). On the other hand, performance IQ after surgery (98.2±8.64(82-115)) were higher compared with preoperative performance IQ (96.0±9.39(75-116)) but it was not significant (p=0.5). Total IQ after surgery (97.8 ±7.69(81-107)) also higher compared with preoperative total IQ (93.9±9.28(75-115)) but also not significant (p=0.08). Postoperative verbal IQ improvement was found compared with preoperative verbal IQ.

Backgrounds. Diabetes mellitus is a degenerative disease that has various complications. One of neglected diabetes mellitus complication is skeletal muscle atrophy. Turmeric and java turmeric extracts were need to be clarified due to those effect as antihyperglycemic agent which might affected muscle atrophy as one of diabetes mellitus complication. Aim. To compared the efficacy of turmeric and java turmeric extract on reducing the progression of skeletal muscle atrophy in streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus. Methods. We conducted experimental animal studies with a post test only control group design using 25-30 grams male Swiss mice aged 12 weeks. Diabetes mellitus was induced by streptozotocin (STZ) administration. All 28 samples were randomly divided into 4 groups : control + PBS, control + STZ, STZ + turmeric, and STZ + java turmeric groups. Before treatment, blood glucose and body weight were examined on 3rd day. Blood glucose, body weight, hindlimb muscle weight, and muscle diameter results were examined after treatment (on 21st day). Data was analyzed with statistical software after all procedures were done. Results. STZ + turmeric group showed insignificant decreased in blood sugar levels (p=0.107). Control + STZ group showed significantly reduced hindlimb muscle weight compared to other groups. Hindlimb muscle weight was significantly ameliorated by STZ + turmeric extract (p=0.048). There were no significant improvement on skeletal muscle diameter among groups. Conclusion. The administration of turmeric extract improved hindlimb muscle weight but may not mediated by glucose lowering effect in streptozotocin induced diabetic mice.

Latar belakang : Metanol merupakan salah satu senyawa yang dapat merusak secara sistemik akibat dari asidosis. Salah satu organ yang terkena dampak adalah hipokampus. Ranitidine diketahui dapat menurunkan kadar asam format dalam darah sehingga dapat mengurangi dampak toksik dari metanol.Tujuan : Mengetahui pengaruh pemberian ranitidine terhadap histopatologi hipokampus tikus Wistar dengan intoksikasi metanol akut.Metode : Penelitian true experimental dengan rancangan parallel post test only control group design ini menggunakan tikus strain Wistar jantan usia 2-3 bulan (n=15) yang secara random dibagi menjadi 3 kelompok (kelompok kontrol negatif (n=5), kelompok kontrol positif (n=5), dan perlakuan (n=5)). Pada 8 jam setelah pemberian perlakuan, otak tikus diambil dan diperiksa persentase nekrosis dari sel hipokampus dengan pengecatan HE . Uji statistik yang digunakan uji Kruskal Wallis dan dilanjutkan uji Mann-Whitney untuk melihat perbedaan antar kelompok perlakuan.Hasil : Pada penelitian ini didapatkan peningkatan jumlah sel nekrosis hipokampus pada kelompok kontrol positif dibandingkan kontrol negatif dan penurunan pada kelompok perlakuan dibandingkan kelompok kontrol positif. Terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna antara kelompok kontrol positif dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol negatif (p=0.008), dan perlakuan (p=0.008). Akan tetapi tidak ada perbedaan antara kelompok perlakuan dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol negatif (p=0.690).Simpulan : Permberian ranitidine dapat mengurangi derajat nekrosis sel pada sel hipokampus tikus Wistar dengan intoksikasi metanol akut.

Latar belakang: Metanol memiliki efek toksik melalui metabolitnya yaitu asam format yang mengakibatkan gangguan spermatogenesis. Ranitidine mempunyai enzim yang dapat menghambat terbentuknya metabolit asam format sehingga diharapkan akan mengurangi efek toksisitas dari metanol terhadap fungsi spermatogenesis.Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui seberapa besar pengaruh pemberian ranitidine pada tikus Wistar jantan yang terintoksikasi metanol akut terhadap gambaran histopatologi spermatogenesis.Metode: Penelitian ini memakai desain true experimental post test only control group. Tikus Wistar jantan usia 2-3 bulan (n=15) secara random dibagi menjadi 3 kelompok yaitu kelompok kontrol negatif (n=5), kelompok kontrol positif (n=5), dan kelompok perlakuan (n=5). Selama 14 hari, dilakukan pemberian metanol per oral untuk kelompok kontrol positif dan perlakuan, diikuti injeksi ranitidine per intraperitoneal 1 jam setelah pemberian metanol untuk kelompok perlakuan. Kemudian dilakukan terminasi tikus dan testisnya diambil untuk dibuat preparat dengan pengecatan HE. Selanjutnya, pemeriksaan spermatogenesis dilakukan dengan menggunakan skor Johnsen.Hasil: Kelompok kontrol positif secara signifikan (p<0.05) menunjukkan spermatogenesis yang lebih buruk dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol negatif. Pemberian ranitidine pada tikus yang terintoksikasi metanol akut secara signifikan (p<0.05) menunjukkan spermatogenesis yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol positif. Tidak terdapat perbedaan spermatogenesis antara kelompok yang diberikan ranitidine dengan kelompok kontrol negatif.Kesimpulan: pemberian ranitidine pada tikus yang terintoksikasi metanol akut dapat mengurangi gangguan spermatogenesis secara histopatologis

One of the psychological problems experienced by stroke patients is self-efficacy. Stroke patients on average lack confidence in themselves to do exercises or activities that will have an impact on the recovery process of stroke patients. Several factors that vary related to low self-efficacy in stroke patients are one of the causes. The scoping review aims to identify factors related to self-efficacy in a post-stroke patient. The methods use a systematic review through review articles relevant to the topic from CINAHL database, MEDLINE, Academic search ultimate, science direct, and Taylor & Francis with a publication year spanning 2015 to 2020 and with the keyword “self-efficacy” and “stroke” then analyzed using a synthesis matrix. The inclusion criteria in this study were articles in English with longitudinal study design or cross-sectional study and self-efficacy as the dependent variable. The results of a review of four journals that met the inclusion criteria found factors related to self-efficacy in a post-stroke patient including depression, age, vascular history, fear, physical activity, Body Mass Index (BMI) and emotional function. The study concludes that depression, age, vascular history, fear, physical activity, Body Mass Index (BMI) and emotional function are factors related to self-efficacy in post-stroke patients. The factor most strongly associated with post-stroke patients self-efficacy is depression.

Background. Disruption to the healing process of these wounds will consume large resources and will often require long-term medical management. Aloe vera oil is rich in anthraquinone compounds, especially emodin and chrysophanol. Anthraquinones have potent anti-inflammatory effects, which have the potential to activate various growth factors and chemokines and initiate angiogenesis processes that play a major role in wound healing. The ability of ozone to trigger mild oxidative stress plays an important role in triggering a cascade of cytokines and chemokines, including the initiation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) proteins that play a role in the initiation of angiogenesis. Methods: This study is an in vivo experimental study. A total of 60 rats were divided into 10 treatment and control groups. The treatment group was given ozonized aloe vera oil 600 mg/mL, 1200 mg/mL and 1800 mg/mL. Furthermore, the assessment of VEGF and new blood vessel formation was carried out. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25 software with univariate and bivariate tests. Results: The administration of ozonized aloe vera oil was able to increase the expression of VEGF, and the number of new blood vessels in the excision wound tissue. Conclusion: Ozonized aloe vera oil is effective in promoting excision wound tissue repair in vivo.

IQ before and after surgery were measured with WAIS and WISC-R method. The statistical tests used were paired t-test by SPSS version 20 for Windows. Result: Most of the respondents were males (66.7%), average age 24.3±7.17 years-old, and 7.7±4.70 year’s duration of seizures. The verbal IQ score after surgery was 98.8±9.88 significantly higher (p=0.01) compared with preoperative verbal IQ (92.7±9.60) score. On the other hand, the performance IQ score after surgery was higher (98.2±8.64) compared with preoperative performance IQ (96.0±9.39), however not statistically significant (p=0.5). A total IQ score after surgery tends to be higher (97.8 ±7.69) compared with preoperative total IQ (93.9±9.28) but not statistically significant (p=0.08). Conclusion: Our study suggests that postoperative verbal IQ improvement was found to be significantly different compared to the preoperative verbal IQ. However, there was no significant difference in the performance and total IQ score after TLE surgeryKeywords: IQ, Epilepsy, Temporal lobe epilepsy, Surgery.

Thyrotropin-stimulating hormone-producing adenoma (TSHoma) is a rare cause of hyperthyroidism. Patients with this condition are often diagnosed when the tumor has already grown significantly, as the diagnosis of TSHoma is frequently delayed and confused with primary hyperthyroidism. Our case describes a 60-year-old woman with a goiter who was referred to our center from the otolaryngology department. Her thyroid panel in endocrinology showed elevated free hormone levels (fT3: 4.6 mg/ml and fT4: 1.93 mg/ml) and an unsuppressed TSH: 12.85 μ mIU/l, suggesting central hyperthyroidism. A thyroid gland sample obtained by a fine needle aspiration biopsy did not show malignant cells. An MRI scan of the pituitary gland revealed a macroadenoma with KNOSP grade 1. She underwent transsphenoidal surgery for the tumor. Histopathology revealed an acidophilic adenoma with the expression of TSH and prolactin by immunostaining. The proliferation rate, as indicated by MIB-1 staining, was only 0.6%. The decrease in thyroid hormones after the operation confirmed the effectiveness of the surgery. In conclusion, TSHoma, a rare tumor associated with hyperthyroidism, requires a careful diagnosis for effective management. Our article serves as reference material for understanding cases of pituitary-secreting tumors in Indonesia.
