Abstract

The incidence of HIV in the Bontomangape Galesong Health Center work area has raised a concern for Hasanuddin University (UNHAS). Partnering with the health center, UNHAS team carried out Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) posts to educate the community and to conduct early detection of HIV in the health center work area. The activities in the VCT post included the playing of educational videos, the distribution of HIV andsexually transmitted diseases (STD) educational leaflets, counseling to undertake tests for family members of people with HIV, counseling to do tests on the people at risk, rapid antigen HIV-Syphilis examination, and post-screening counseling. The results and outputs produced in program were (1) HIV and STD educational videos and leaflets, (2) Publication in the online media, and (3) Increased public knowledge and awareness regarding the dangers and risk factors of HIV, and the importance of early detection of HIV and STI.

Abstract

Evaluating long-term immunity after COVID-19 infection and vaccination is critical for managing potential outbreaks. The aim of this study was to develop a cost-effective in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on Escherichia coli-expressed SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (E-S1) for antibody detection and to evaluate its performance. The system was validated by comparing the in-house ELISA results with those obtained using a commercial ELISA with HEK293-expressed spike protein (H-S1). Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was produced in E. coli, purified, and validated for antigenicity via ELISA. Indirect ELISAs with both E-S1 and H-S1 antigens were performed on 386 serum samples from COVID-19 survivors, vaccinated individuals, and pre-pandemic controls collected at different time points. The E-S1 ELISA showed a statistically significant but weak correlation with H-S1 ELISA across all samples (r=0.205; p=0.0001). Stronger correlations were observed among vaccinated individuals with prior infection on day 90 (r=0.6017; p<0.001) and in naïve vaccine recipients on day 30 (r=0.5361; p=0.0003). Pre-pandemic sera from a rural population in Sumba Island exhibited high background reactivity in E-S1 ELISA, likely due to anti-E. coli antibodies, while urban pre-pandemic sera from Jakarta showed a stronger correlation with H-S1 ELISA. This suggests potential regional or immune background differences influencing assay performance. Although E-S1 retained antigenic properties, its diagnostic utility is limited by non-specific reactivity and reduced sensitivity compared to H-S1. In conclusion, E. coli expression systems may not be ideal for producing spike protein-based ELISA antigens specific to SARS-CoV-2. Alternative expression systems, such as human or baculovirus, could enhance diagnostic accuracy and specificity for COVID-19 antibody detection.

Abstract

Based on the high incidence and fatality of malaria, a comprehensive management to control the disease, including Anopheles larval control to remove the transmission path, is urgently required. Chemical insecticides used for this purpose is claimed to be less environmentally safe and potentially increase the mosquito resistance. Thus, there is a need to use alternative insecticide. Some studies found that Bacillus sphaericus dan Bacillus thuringiensis israeli could effectively kill Anopheles larvae and has a low potency to increase resistency. Besides that, it is environmentally safe and does not affect non-target organisms. Therefore, the use of Bacillus spp as larvicides could be undertaken in malaria control programme especially in endemic areas.

Abstract

Latar belakang. Stunting masih menjadi masalah kesehatan di Indonesia. Infeksi kecacingan pada seorang anak dapat berdampak terhadap status gizi yang jika diabaikan akan bersifat kronik dan menjadi faktor risiko stunting.Tujuan. Menilai pengaruh infeksi kecacingan terhadap kejadian stunting pada anak di daerah pesisir.Metode. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Desa Untia Makassar Sulawesi Selatan. Pengambilan data dilakukan secara potong lintang, yakni pemeriksaan antropometri anak usia 6 bulan-5 tahun untuk menentukan stunting atau tidak, kemudian dilakukan pemeriksaan sampel feses untuk menilai adanya infeksi kecacinganHasil. Terdapat 100 anak yang direkrut dalam penelitian ini, 21 anak (21%) menderita stunting dan 79 anak (79%) tidak stunting. Dari pemeriksaan sampel feses masing-masing ditemukan satu anak menderita kecacingan pada kelompok stunting (4,8%) dan tidak stunting (1,2%). Berdasarkan analisa statistik tidak ditemukan perbedaan bermakna diantara kedua kelompok (p=0,378).Kesimpulan. Tidak ditemukan pengaruh yang signifikan antara kejadian infeksi kecacingan pada anak stunting di daerah pesisir.

Abstract

The neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is one of the variables related to the severity of COVID-19 disease. Therefore, we evaluated the value of NLR in COVID-19 patients and its relation to the symptoms and severity of COVID-19 at Tadjuddin Chalid Hospital, Makassar. We recruited patients visiting Tadjuddin Chalid Hospital Makassar who were willing to take part in the study in April to August 2021. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were recorded through interviews and medical records. The severity of the disease is classified according to the guidelines from the association of Indonesian pulmonary doctors, Indonesian internal medicine doctors, Indonesian pediatricians, anesthesiologists and intensive care doctors, and the Indonesian cardiologist association. NLR data was obtained by calculating the ratio between neutrophil levels and lymphocyte levels in the blood. A total of 130 patients took part in the study, between 19-72 years old. There were 77 subjects (59.2%) with mild symptoms, 28 (21.6%) with moderate symptoms, and 25 (19.2%) with severe symptoms. There were 89 subjects with NLR <3.5 (68.5%) and 41 (10.8%) with NLR > 3.5. NLR values in patients with severe and moderate disease were significantly different from NLR in patients with mild disease (p =0.0002 dan p<0.0001, respectively). However, no significant difference was found in NLR between patients who neither have cough nor fever with those who had one or both of those symptoms. The presence of clinical or radiological symptoms of pneumonia accompanied by an NLR > 3.5 can be used as an indicator for a suspected moderate or severe COVID-19 diagnosis.

Abstract

Virus SARS-CoV-2 yang merupakan penyebab pandemi COVID-19 sejakakhir tahun 2019 telah mengalami banyak mutasi yang memunculkan beberapavariants of concern (VOC) dengan penularan, virulensi, dan kemampuanmenghindari sistem imun yang lebih tinggi daripada varian awal (wild-type). Hinggakini terdapat empat varian yang termasuk dalam VOC virus tersebut yaitu varianalfa, beta, gamma, dan delta. Peningkatan transmisi dan virulensi pada VOC tersebutdikaitkan dengan perubahan mutasi pada protein spike yang merupakan strukturdari virus yang berperan dalam pengikatan dengan sel host. Pada artikel ini kamimelakukan literature review mengenai VOC dari virus SARS-CoV-2 terkait mutasiyang terjadi dan dampaknya pada proses pengikatan virus. Untuk mendapatkanpemahaman terkait dampak dari mutasi di berbagai varian tersebut, kami jugamereview struktur dari protein spike dan proses entry virus ke dalam sel host.
