Abstract

Background: Percentage of patients who had liver stiffness measurement failure using transient elastography varied between 2-10%; mainly caused by obesity. XL probe is expected to increase the success rate of liver stiffness measurement in patients with obesity. The objective of this study is to evaluate the success of liver stiffness measurement using M and XL probes and its influencing factors.Method: Patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in this study. Examination results were then analysed using statistical analysis unpaired t-test or Mann-Whitney and McNemar statistical tests.Results: From 92 NAFLD patients with obesity who were studied, the proportion of success in measuring liver stiffness using M probe was 57.6%, while that of XL probe was 88.0%. This difference was statistically significant (p 0.001). BMI, SCD, and thoracic circumference were associated with success in measuring liver stiffness using M probe, with p value of 0.007, 0.001, and 0.001 respectively. The results of Mann-Whitney statistical test revealed median value of BMI and SCD of patients who had liver stiffness measurement failure using M probe were 32.7 kg/m2 and 2.6 cm respectively. T-test results showed that the mean value of thoracic circumference of patients who had liver stiffness measurement failure using M probe was 97.8 cm.Conclusion: Proportion of success in measuring liver stiffness in NAFLD patients with obesity using XL probe was better compared to the M probe. BMI, SCD, and thoracic circumference were associated with the success of measuring liver stiffness using M probe. The same variables were not associated with XL probe.

Abstract

Background: Severity of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that is assessed using Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) classification is a main prognostic factor of hepatocellular carcinoma. Assessment of the serum level of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is considered to reflect the severity of HCC. However, there is still no fundamental basis of the association of severity of HCC with the serum VEGF level. The objective of this study is to know the relationship between serum VEGF levels with the severity of HCC by assessing the average difference of serum VEGF level in various severity of HCC.Method: This study was a cross sectional study to identify the association between serum VEGF levels with the severity of HCC based on BCLC classification. This study was performed in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital between January and May 2015. Statistical tests used to evaluate the association between serum VEGF level with BCLC classification was one-way ANOVA analysis, and continued with post hoc Tukey Schaffe analysis.Results: A total of 61 subjects with HCC were included into this study. In this study, we did not find subjects with stage 0 BCLC. The average of serum VEGF level in stage A BCLC was 288.26 ± 156.6 pg/mL; stage B BCLC: 434 ± 164.8 pg/mL; stage C BCLC: 785.57 ± 194.25 pg/mL; stage D BCLC: 1537.97 ± 660.62 pg/mL. One-way ANOVA analysis showed significant difference (P 0.001) between serum VEGF level and HCC severity based on BCLC classification. Post hoc Tukey Schaffe analysis showed the presence of significant difference between stage A and C BCLC (p 0.05) and stage A and D BCLC (p 0.001), stage B and D BCLC (p 0.001), and stage C and D BCLC (p 0.001). There was no significant difference between stage A and B BCLC, and between stage B and C BCLC.Conclusion: It was found that serum VEGF level increased in accordance to the HCC severity based on BCLC classification, particularly for stage B BCLC and above.

Abstract

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease diagnosis was still based on invasive examination, such as endoscopy and histopathology. Fecal calprotectin was a non-invasive  intestinal inflammation marker, but several study give a different result in its diagnostic value and correlation to inflammatory bowel disease. This research was aimed to prove that fecal calprotectin examination has a high diagnostic value in diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease, and also correlate to its clinical stages.Method: This is a cross sectional study to do a diagnostic test in several hospital in Jakarta, from September 2014 to February 2015. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was made to get fecal calprotectin diagnostic level and Krusskal Wallis test was performed to identify fecal calprotectin difference among each inflammatory bowel disease clinical stages.Results: A total of 71 patients with inflammatory bowel disease was invoved in this research, based on colonoscopic examination result. Among them, 57 patients was confirmed to have intestinal inflammation based on histopathology result. Fecal calprotectin level was found to be higher in patients with inflammatory bowel disease than patients without intestinal inflammation (553,8 µg/g vs. 76,95 µg/g, p 0,001).  A cut off point of 179,3 µg/g was gathered, with 96% sensitivity (95% CI: 0,88-0,99), 93% specificity (95% CI: 0,69-0,99), and 99,5% area under curve (AUC) 99,5% (95% CI: 0,98-1,00). A significant difference was found between fecal calprotectin in each inflammatory bowel disease clinical stages (p 0,001).Conclusion: Fecal calprotectin has a high diagnostic value for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and strongly correlate to its disease clinical stages.
