BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus can increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and genetic transcription factors, such as nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB). These phenomena may enhance the progression of atherosclerosis. Additionally, NF-κB can induce apoptosis of pancreatic beta cells and accelerate disease progression. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of calcitriol and ascorbic acid on NF-κβ expression in vivo in aortic and myocardial tissues of Wistar rats. METHODS: This randomized experimental study involved 24 male Wistar rats of the Rattus norvegicus strain, divided into four groups: NC (negative control), PC (positive control), AG (ascorbic acid group), and CG (calcitriol group). The study spanned 90 days, including a 30-day intervention period. Aortic and myocardial samples were processed into histological preparations and stained using immunohistochemical techniques. NF-κB expression was assessed using an intensity scoring method. RESULTS: The CG group demonstrated the lowest NF-κB immunoexpression in myocardial tissue (0.27 ± 0.08), followed by the AG (0.37 ± 0.05), NC (0.68 ± 0.08), and PC (1.13 ± 0.34) groups, with statistically significant 3sbetween the groups (p < 0.05). In aortic tissue, the CG group also exhibited the lowest NF-κB expression (0.30 ± 0.18), followed by the AG (0.50 ± 0.09), NC (0.97 ± 0.05), and PC (1.23 ± 0.38) groups, with statistically significant differences between the groups (p < 0.05). Similar trends were observed in the immunohistochemical staining of the NF-κB antigen in myocardial and aortic tissue samples. Calcitriol administration was more effective than ascorbic acid in reducing NF-κB expression in both myocardial (p < 0.05) and aortic tissues (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Both ascorbic acid and calcitriol reduce NF-κB expression in the aorta and myocardium, with calcitriol showing greater effectiveness than ascorbic acid.

Paediatric nephrotic syndrome is the most common kidney disease in children, with corticosteroids as the primary treatment. While effective, corticosteroid therapy may decrease bone mineral density. Concurrent vitamin D and calcium supplementation can mitigate bone loss but does not entirely prevent it and may introduce side effects. This study assessed growth delay based on bone age in children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome receiving long-term steroid therapy at Dr. Zainoel Abidin Public Hospital in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. This observational analytic study used a retrospective cohort design, with data collected from the hospitals Paediatric Polyclinic over one month. Paediatric patients diagnosed with INS who met inclusion criteria were included, and data were extracted from electronic medical records. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney test. Among the 50 children included, 32 (64%) were male and 18 (36%) were female. The median corticosteroid therapy duration was 24 months (range: 284 months). No significant association was found between corticosteroid therapy duration and growth delay, as measured by BA (p=0.363). INS was more common in boys, particularly in the six to 10-year age group. Most participants had normal nutritional status and stature, with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome being the most prevalent type. The findings suggest no relationship between corticosteroid therapy duration and growth delay based on bone age, providing reassurance about the treatments impact on growth outcomes.

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) can increase mortality in children with critical illness. Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) is a biomarker for early prediction of AKI in children. Objective To determine the diagnostic value of uNGAL as a predictor of AKI in children with critical illness. Methods This observational cross-sectional study was conducted in the Emergency Room, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, and Pediatric Ward of Zainoel Abidin Public Hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia, between August and December 2023. Subjects were 40 children aged 1 month to 18 years with critical illness. uNGAL levels were measured on the first day of admission. Blood urea and creatinine levels were measured on the first and third days of admission. We calculated the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of uNGAL to predict AKI. The optimal uNGAL cut-off point for this purpose was determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Result In the majority of patients (29/40; 72.5%) critical illness occurred at the ages of 5 to 18 years. The most common primary diseases were central nervous system disorders in 14/40 (35%) patients, gastrointestinal infection in 6/40 (15%) patients, and malignancy in 5/40 (12.5) patients. Median uNGAL levels were significantly elevated in subjects with renal impairment [17.37 (range 6.13-29.70) ng/mL] compared to those with normal renal function [4.87 (range 0.32-29.49) ng/mL] (P=0.0001). The optimal uNGAL cut-off point was >9.99 ng/mL, with an AUC of 0.842, 81% sensitivity, and 78.9% specificity to predict AKI. The OR of AKI in children with uNGAL levels >9.99 ng/mL was 10.66 (95%CI 2.30 to 49.30; P=0.003). Conclusion Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) can be used as a predictor of acute kidney injury in children with critical illness.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin C on reducing cardiovascular oxidative stress in sepsis rat models. An experimental animal study with a post-test control group design was conducted at the Laboratory of Animal Research, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Syiah Kuala, Banda Aceh, Indonesia, from September to December 2023, using 18 male Wistar strain rats (Rattus norvegicus). Rats were divided into three groups: control (Group K), lipopolysaccharide 5 mg/kg body weight (BW) (Group L), and lipopolysaccharide 5 mg/kg BW with oral vitamin C (18 mg/day) (Group LC). Rats were euthanized after two weeks with ketamine (15–20 mg/kg intraperitoneally) and cervical dislocation. Blood samples (3 mL) and heart organs were collected. Nitric oxide (NO) levels were measured through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and cardiac muscle cells were observed using an Olympus CX21 microscope. The LC group exhibited a significantly lower mean endothelial dysfunction score than the L group (p<0.001), although no significant difference in NO levels was observed between L and LC groups (p=0.262), indicating that vitamin C did not significantly affect NO levels. This suggests that the improvement in endothelial function observed in the LC group may be mediated through mechanisms other than NO modulation. The MANOVA test revealed that vitamin C administration accounted for 84.8% of changes in endothelial function in the sepsis rat model (p<0.001). In conclusion, vitamin C confers a protective effect against severe cardiac and endothelial damage, as evidenced by the amelioration of necrosis, inflammatory cell infiltration, congestion, and vacuolization caused by lipopolysaccharide.

Obesity remains a significant nutritional issue in the pediatric population and is closely linked to metabolic disorders. According to the World Health Organization (2022), 160 million individuals aged 5–19 years are classified as obese. This study aimed to evaluate the association between central obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in sports students. This cross-sectional study was conducted at Aceh Sports High School from May to August 2024, involving 43 students selected through simple random sampling. Although the sample size was relatively small, these findings offer valuable preliminary insights. The data collected included demographics, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, and blood tests (glucose, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides). Central obesity was assessed using waist circumference and MS was evaluated based on the NCEP ATP III criteria. Data were analyzed descriptively, followed by the chi-square test. The majority of the participants were not at risk of MS (51,2%). However, chi-square analysis revealed a statistically significant association between waist circumference and MetS (p<0,001, OR = 3,75 95% CI = 2,072– 6,788). In conclusion, while most participants were not at risk of MetS, central obesity emerged as a strong predictor. These findings underscore the need for early screening and intervention, even in physically active adolescents.

Adolescent athletes have a higher risk of dehydration than adult athletes do. This increased risk results from the greater absorption of environmental heat and heightened body heat, which affects electrolyte balance and oxygen saturation. This study aimed to analyze electrolyte values and oxygen saturation in students at SMA Keberbakatan Aceh in 2024 using an observational analytical approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 43 respondents were selected for this study. The intensity of physical exercise was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) score, of which two respondents had hyponatremia, 40 had normal sodium levels, and one respondent had hypernatremia related to the intensity of physical exercise (p= 0,381). Potassium levels were not significantly affected, as all 43 respondents had normal potassium levels (p= 0,740). Regarding chloride levels, one respondent had hypochloremia, 40 had normal levels, and two had hyperchloremia. While previous results showed no effect, exercise intensity was found to have a significant influence on respondents’ nutritional status (p= 0,034). All respondents maintained levels within normal limits in the assessment of oxygen saturation. Conclusion: Physical exercise intensity had no significant effect on serum electrolytes or oxygen saturation levels. However, a significant relationship was observed between the physical exercise intensity and nutritional status.

Pneumonia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Risk factors for pneumonia in these children include anemia, hypoxemia, nutritional status, congestive heart failure, and neuromuscular disorders. This study aimed to determine the risk factors for pneumonia in children with CHD at the Dr. Zainoel Abidin Public Hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. This analytical, observational study employed a cross-sectional approach. This study included children aged 1 month to 18 years who were treated at the Dr. Zainoel Abidin Public Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023. Data were collected from medical records of 121 children who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using bivariate analysis with the chi-square test and multivariate analysis with logistic regression. Pneumonia was observed in 66 (54,5%) patients. The majority of children with critical illnesses who developed pneumonia were between 1 month and 5 years of age (60%), female (61,7%), had poor nutritional status (53,2%), and had a birth weight ≥ 2500 g (54,5%). The type of CHD was found to be a significant risk factor for pneumonia (p = 0,024), with an odds ratio of 3,16 (95% CI: 1,162–8,617). In conclusion, the CHD type is a risk factor for pneumonia in children with CHD.
