Abstract

Precocious puberty is defined as the onset of secondary sexual characteristics before 8 years of age in girls and 9 years in boys. Central Precocious Puberty (CPP) is caused by early activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Laboratory test of LH, FSH, and Estradiol is recommended for monitoring suppressive effects from GnRHa therapy in the early three months and every six months. This study aimed to report a case of CPP in a 3-year and 3-month-old girl. A 3-year and 3-month-old girl went to the hospital with vaginal bleeding (menstruation), breast development, and pubic and axilla hair for 7-month-old. Physical examination found moderately ill with obesity, body weight 20 kg, height 98 cm. Tanner stage was A2M3P2, café au lait was found in the left forehead with size 7x3.5 cm. In March 2015 before GnRHa therapy, LH, FSH and Estradiol level increased with levels of 4.32 mlU/mL, 6.01 mlU/mL, and 67 pg/mL, and after 3 months of the treatment was 0.87 mlU/mL, 2.51 mlU/mL and <20 pg/mL. Pelvic ultrasonography showed suggestive precocious puberty, bone age 5-year and 9-month (Greulich and Pyle), CT-Scan of the brain showed hypothalamic tumor suspected hypothalamic hamartoma. This patient was treated with a GnRHa injection every 4 weeks. Leuprorelin is a synthetic non-peptide analogue of natural GnRH. The diagnosis was based on medical history, physical examination, laboratory, and radiological findings. The prognosis of the patient was good.

Abstract

IntroductionStroke is a neurologic emergency disease and the main cause of high mortality. Inflammatory process in stroke due to cell and tissue damage causes increase of leucocyte prominently neutrophil. Neutrophil Limphocyte Ratio is an easy-to-measure inflammatory marker. There is only few data of RNL in Indonesia.MethodsThis was a retrospective cross-sectional study using secondary data from Medical Record RSUP Wahidin Sudirohusodo, Makassar. Leucocyte, neutrophil and lymphocyte first data were taken from adult  stroke diagnosed patients. Data statistically analyzed and diagnostic value of  NLR was determined by ROC curve analysis.Results dan DiscussionTotal of 402 patients were enrolled, 214 (54.72%) with ischemic stroke and 182 (46.8) with hemorrhagic stroke. There was a significant RNL difference between ischemic stroke (median 7.23) and hemorrhage stroke (median 3.65) (p<0.001). Using cut off 5.18, ROC curve showed of AUC 0.730 which had weak perfomance to differentiate ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke with sensitivity 67.8% and specificity 68.6%.Conclusion and SuggestionNLR in hemorrhagic stroke is higher than ischemic stroke. We suggest further studies with larger and more evenly distributed samples and consideration of sampling time.

Abstract

Congenital hypothyroidism is a condition resulting from a deficiency of thyroid hormone in newborns. Congenital hypothyroidism has no specific signs and symptoms at birth. It may lead to severe mental retardation and growth, and developmental disorders. Therefore, it is essential to perform newborn laboratory screening tests for prompt diagnosis and treatment to minimize the sequels. Laboratory screening tests are performed by taking prick blood from the heel of newborn and testing either TSH or T4 or both of them. Currently, the congenital hypothyroidism screening is not mandatory in Indonesia, but some multicentered screening programs have been performed. In Indonesia, a TSH level above 20 µU/mL is used as a cutoff that needs a confirmatory test using serum samples to confirm congenital hypothyroidism diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is established, prompt treatment and laboratory monitoring are needed for a better outcome.

Abstract

Understanding of hemostasis has developed substantially in the last century from stasis in vitro to in vivo concept. Hemostasis theory develops from classic theory, discovery of coagulation factors leading to cascade/waterfall theory, as well as to in vivo cell based theory which explains the limitations of cascade theory. Phases of cell based hemostasis theory include initiation, amplification, propagation and termination with the role of tissue factor, platelet activation and coagulation factors in thrombin and fibrin synthesis. Common hemostasis tests used nowadays are important in evaluating bleeding risk but this matter still can not explain cell based hemostasis theory comprehensively so we need to find new tests to evaluate in vivo hemostasis.

Abstract

Myocardial infarction is a necrosis of myocardial cells due to lack of blood and oxygen supply caused by obstruction of coronary arteries, mostly due to atherosclerosis processes. Increased inflammatory marker level is associated with poor cardiovascular prognosis. This study was aimed to know whether leukocytes count, differential cell count and the Ratio of Neutrophils-Lymphocytes (RNL) could distinguish between types of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) and to evaluate its correlation with mortality. This was a cross-sectional retrospective study using medical records patients which were diagnosed as AMI by clinicians in Cardiac Centre of the Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital during the period of April 1st, 2015 - May 31st, 2016. Statistical analysis used the Mann-Whitney and Chi-Square test, p<0.05 was considered as significant. The total subjects were 435 patients divided into 289 ST- Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and 146 Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI). There were significant differences in that mean of leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils counts and RNL between STEMI and NSTEMI (p <0.05). Significant differences were also found in leukocyte, neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, basophils and RNL mean between those who died and survived (p <0.05) and a significant correlation between increased leukocytes, neutrophils, basophils counts with mortality (p <0.05). In conclusion, the number of leukocytes and leukocyte count can be used as diagnostic markers of AMI between STEMI and NSTEMI, as well as prognostic markers among patients who died and survived. Routine blood sampling cohort studies in patients with AMI can avoid the bias of the results obtained.

Abstract

Omentin-1 is an anti-inflammatory adipokine secreted by stromal vascular cells. Inflammation and apoptosis of adipocyte tissue in obesity lead to decreased production of omentin-1. This study aims to find the difference in omentin-1 levels in the obese and non-obese groups and the correlation between levels of omentin-1 with BMI and waist circumference. This study was a cross-sectional study involving 70 subjects with 37 people in the obese group and 33 people in the non-obese group. Anthropometric data including weight, height, waist circumference, and BMI were measured. Serum omentin-1 levels were measured by ELISA. The statistical tests used were Chi-square, T-test, Mann-Whitney test, and Spearman test. Test results were significant if p-value < 0.05. Significant difference was observed in serum omentin-1 levels between obese and non-obese group (median 140,31 range (88.08 – 382.76) vs. 210,97 range (124,44–577,96) ng/mL), respectively; p < 0.001). Serum omentin-1 correlated negatively with BMI (p=0.001, r = - 0.398) and waist circumference (p=0.017, r = - 0.286). Obesity causes inflammation and increased death of adipocyte tissues due to apoptosis, autophagy, and fibrosis resulting in decreased production of omentin-1 by stromal vascular cells. Anthropometric parameters of waist circumference and BMI describe the distribution of adipocyte tissue and affect the secretion of omentin-1. Omentin-1 levels in the obese group were lower than in the non-obese group. The higher the BMI and waist circumference, the lower the omentin-1 level.

Abstract

Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) is a small protein with a molecular weight of 21 kDa, belongs to the lipocalin protein family and functions as a growth factor and differentiation of various cell types such as renal tubular epithelial cells. This aim of study was to determine the level of NGAL in controlled and uncontrolled type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients. This study was a cross sectional study involving 70 type 2 DM patients with 30 patients with controlled type 2 DM and 40 uncontrolled type 2 DM groups. HbA1c, urea, creatinine, and urinalysis data were measured. NGAL level was measured using the ELISA method. The statistical tests used were Chi-Square, unpaired T test, Mann-Whitney test and Spearman test. The test result is significant if the p-value <0.05. NGAL normally found in the circulation will be filtered by the glomerulus and reabsorbed by the epithelial cells of the proximal renal tubule. Increased levels of NGAL can be found 2-6 hours in the blood and urine after injury to the kidneys. Excretion of NGAL in blood occurs when there is damage to the epithelial cells of the proximal tubule of the kidney. There was a significant difference in NGAL levels in the controlled and uncontrolled groups of type 2 DM patients. Positive correlation indicates that the higher the HbA1c and creatinine levels, the higher the NGAL level. There was a significant difference in NGAL levels in the controlled and uncontrolled type 2 DM groups (25.09 ± 6.83 vs 112.54 ± 170.38 ng / mL, with p value <0.001). There was a positive correlation between NGAL and HbA1c levels with p value <0.001, r =0.507 and creatinine levels with p value <0.001, r =0.769. NGAL normally found in the circulation will be filtered by the glomerulus and reabsorbed by the epithelial cells of the proximal renal tubule. Increased levels of NGAL can be found 2-6 hours in the blood and urine after injury to the kidneys. Excretion of NGAL in blood occurs when there is damage to the epithelial cells of the proximal tubule of the kidney. There was a significant difference in NGAL levels in the controlled and uncontrolled groups of type 2 DM patients. Positive correlation indicates that the higher the HbA1c and creatinine levels, the higher the NGAL level.

Abstract

Thyroid disease often causes unspecific or mild symptoms, so laboratory tests are needed to confirm the functional diagnosis of thethyroid disorder. The laboratory tests which are important to establish the diagnosis of thyroid disorder include: total and free thyroidhormones, its related (thyroid) hormone binding proteins and auto antibodies. The thyroid hormone tests are mostly measured withcompetitive or sandwich immunoassays and each method can be interfered by several factors. Some drugs may increase or decrease thethyroid functional tests and several factors such as: underlying diseases, age, pregnancy, occurrence of heterophil antibody and autoantibodies may also interfere the thyroid tests results. The interpretation of an unusual combination from thyroid stimulating hormonesuch as free thyroxin and tri-iodothyronine results needs confirmation of underlying condition for establishing the right diagnosis. Thisreview is aimed to evaluate several factors which may influence the thyroid tests and interpretation.
