Abstract

Coal as a fuel is used in the industrial sector which indirectly causes air pollution which has broad toxic effects on humans, one of which is disturbance on blood profile. White blood cells (leukocytes) in the human body's defense system play a role in resistance to foreign substances. Eosinophils are a type of leukocyte that function as the body's defense, especially in parasitic infections. Based on observations made, the coal stockpile in Muaro Jambi is still included in the residential area which of course has a direct impact on the health of the surrounding population. The research was conducted descriptively with a cross sectional approach involving 30 residents living around the stockpile of Muaro Jambi. Data of eosinophils count was obtained from the results of blood tests using the automatic method with a Hematology Analyzer. From the the study, the average of examination eosinophils result were within the normal range (3.15). With a higher average for men (3.90), the distance from the house to the stockpile location is ≤ 500 meters (3.47) and the length of domicile shows that the length of stay is ≥ 10 years (3.23). The results of examining eosinophils result in residents around the stockpile indicate that the average value is normal, with a higher value in respondents with spesific characteristics.

Abstract

Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in Tuberculosis (TBC) causes narrowing of the pulmonary blood vessels and triggers pulmonary hypertension which is associated with iron deficiency and anemia. The mineral zinc (Zn) is known to play an important role in destroying the bacteria that cause TBC. In addition, iron (Fe) deficiency in TBC patients can cause relapse and even treatment failure. This study aims to examine the relationship between serum zinc and iron levels and blood pressure in pulmonary TBC patients. Method: A descriptive analytical observational study with a cross sectional design was conducted on 51 TBC patients undergoing treatment at the Simpang IV Sipin Community Health Center, Jambi City. Using a purposive sampling technique, respondents who met the research inclusion and exclusion criteria were examined for zinc and Fe levels. The examination was carried out at the Jambi Province Regional Health Laboratory, the examination result data was then analyzed bivariately using the chi square test. Results: The results of statistical analysis between blood pressure and Zn levels obtained a significant value with P value = 0.877 and a significant value for Fe levels obtained P value = 0.841 (> 0.05). Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between Zn and Fe levels and blood pressure in pulmonary TBC patients. Based on research, it is known that iron deficiency and anemia are not directly related to pulmonary hypertension which can be experienced by TBC patients.
