Abstract

ABSTRACT Background Drug transporter polymorphisms are widely associated with the risk of toxicity in many chemotherapy drugs in cancer. This paper aims to assess the relationship of polymorphisms of this transporter, namely SLC22A16, which are associated with side effects of Doxorubicin-based chemotherapy drugs, namely hematological toxicity (anemia, neutropenia, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia) in breast cancer patients. Method This cross-sectional study will be conducted by testing polymorphism using the ARMS PCR method, which will assess the distribution of AA, AG, and GG genotypes. Result  Most patient ages are under 50 years (55%), with overweight BMI (41,7%) and Batak ethnicity (43,3%). There is no relationship between SLC22A16 Gene Polymorphism and Hematological Toxicity in Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Doxorubicin-Based Chemotherapy

Not long after its discovery, antibiotic usage faced a new issue, which is antibiotic resistance that caused antibiotic effectivity to decrease and caused millions of deaths ever since. Until now, antibiotics have become a global threat that has to be solved. This research aims to determine the community’s knowledge level about antibiotics, if their use of antibiotics is rational, and if knowledge about antibiotics in the community will affect their usage of antibiotics. Method: A cross-sectional strategy is used in this descriptive-analytical study. The population and sample of this study were the community of Kelurahan Sei Putih Timur 2 Medan that met the criteria of respondents of 120 people.T Results and Discussion: The results obtained were 38 respondent (31.7%) has insufficient level of knowledge about antibiotics, 56 respondent (46.7%) has sufficient knowledge and 26 respondent (21.7%) has good knowledge about antibiotics. The number of respondent who has rational usage of antibiotics was 69 (57.5%) and the other 51 respondent (42.5%) has irrational usage of antibiotics. From analysis, 63 respondent, has sufficient to good knowledge about antibiotics and rational usage of it.
