Background Atopic diseases are determined by the interactionbetween genetic and environmental factors. The possible effectsof immunization, as one of environmental factors, on atopy remaina matter of controversy.Objective We conducted an observational clinical epidemiologyto find out the protective effect of high vaccination coverage toatopy in children.Methods During January through March 2006, 150 of749 childrenat Garuda, Padasuka, and Babakan Sari Primary Health Care inBandung were randomized from group with and without familyhistory of atopic disease. Atopy derived from skin prick test andtotal serum lgE was evaluated. Atopy was defined as a positiveskin test to any of the eight allergens tested. The immunizationswere recorded from Kartu Menuju Sehat (KMS). Statistical analysesincluded Chi square to compare prevalence, independent T-testand Mann-Whitney to compare mean.Results Atopy was found in 28.2% of284 subjects, of which 32.4%with and 23.9% without a family history of atopic disease. Themedian of total serum lgE level was higher in children with familyhistory of atopic disease and in atopy children. Children weregrouped according to total dose of basic immunizations (0-17 and2: 18) based on Program Pengembangan Imunisasi (PPI). There wasnonsignificant association between total doses of immunizationand atopy. Even though no statistically significant, the cumulativeimmunization doses were inversely related to the median of totalserum IgE level.Conclusions The immunization coverage has not decreased atopyrisk.

Background Hypoxemia in neonates with clinical respiratorydistress has a high mortality. Downes score is used as an alternativeto evaluate clinical respiratory distress if blood gas analysisinstrument or pulse oxymetry is not available.Objective To evaluate the validity of Downes score for assessinghypoxemia in neonates with clinical respiratory distress.Methods A cross sectional study was carried out on neonates withclinical respiratory distress hospitalized at level 2 and 3 NeonatalCare Unit and in Emergency Room of Dr. Sardjito GeneralHospital, Yogyakarta. Downes score and oxygen saturationmeasured by a pulse oximetry were compared. Hypoxemia wasdefined as oxygen saturation less than 90% in term and post-term infants, less than 88% in preterm neonates, or Downesscore 2:5 according to Basic Emergency Service Training forObstetry and Neonatology (PONED) in 2007. The accuracy ofDownes score in predicting hypoxemia was assessed by sensitivity,specificity, positive-predictive value, negative-predictive value,and likelihood ratio.Results Eighty nine neonates were evaluated. Downes score hadsensitivity of 88%, specificity of 81 o/o, positive-predictive value of72%, negative- predictive value of 92%, positive likelihood ratio4.53, negative likelihood ratio 0.15, prevalence of 36%, and posttest probability of 72%.Conclusion Downes score can be used as a clinical diagnosticmeans for assessing hypoxemia in clinical respiratory distressedneonates with 88% sensitivity (95% CI 79 to 99), and specificity81% sensitivity (95% CI 70 to 91).

Background Measles virus has a negative, single strand RNAgenome which codes for six important structural proteins. Thegenes of the wild type measles virus have many variances hencethe nucleotide sequences of each wild type virus and vaccine virusare different. This differences lead to the antigenic differencesbetween wild type and vaccine virus.Objective The purpose of this research is to investigate thedifferences in the antigenic profiles on immunoblotting betweenwild type and vaccine virus.Results The analysis results are 1) the antigen ofCAM-70 vaccinevirus was less able in cross reacting with the antibodies from G2,G3, 09, CAM-70 and Schwarz; 2) The antibody aga inst CAM-70 was only able to cross react with antigens of N protein and afew of antigens ofF proteins; 3) The wild type virus were veryimmunogenic, hence the antibody titers were very high; 4) TheCAM-70 and MMR vaccine virus were less immunogenic, hencetheir antibody were very low; 5) The antibody responses thatalways occurred from all immunized mice serum were antibodyfor N and F proteins. However, the antibody against CAM-70vaccine virus was still able to react with wild type virus (G2, G3and 09).Conclusion All antigen-antibody reaction on immunoblottingresulted in different profiles especially between wild type virusand CAM-70 vaccine virus. Although CAM-70 vaccine virusshowed clear differences compared to G2, G3 and 09 genotypes,antibodies against CAM-70 were still able to cross react withantigens from other genotypes (G2, G3 and D9).

Background Nephrotic syndrome is primarily a pediatric disorderand is 15 times more common in children than in adults.Relapse rate after corticosteroid discontinuation is 39 - 59%.Hyperlipidemia is an important characteristic of nephroticsyndrome. The plasma concentrations of cholesterol, triglyceride,LDL, and VLDL are increased. Persistent hyperlipidemia afterremission can be found in frequent relapse nephrotic syndrome.Objective To determine plasma lipids as risk factor for relapsingnephrotic syndrome.Methods Thirty children with nephrotic syndrome were includedin this cohort study from March 2005 until June 2007 at WahidinSudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar. Thirty children without renal diseasewere enrolled as control. Blood specimens were collected to determineplasma lipids (cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, and HDL) levels and LDUHDL ratio. Plasma lipids were examined in the acute and remissionphases. Follow up was carried out six months after remission todetermine the occurrence of relapsing nephrotic syndrome.Results Of 30 nephrotic syndrome patients, 12 had relapsed.There were highly significant differences in total cholesterol, HDL,LDL, triglyceride, and LDL/HDL ratio between acute nephroticsyndrome and nephrotic syndrome in remission. There were nosignificant differences in cholesterol, LDL, triglyceride, LDL!HDL ratio between nephrotic syndrome in remission and control.There was also no significant difference in the incidence in relapsebetween first attack and nephrotic syndrome with more than twoattacks. Acute lipid fraction levels were not risk factors in relapsingmephrotic syndrome. Remission triglyceride level was a risk factorin relapsing nephrotic syndrome with the prevalence risk of 5.2 andCI 95% of 1.06 to 25.3.Conclusion Persistent hypertriglyceride in remission phase isassociated with an increased risk of relapse in children withnephrotic syndrome.

Background Despite the reduction phenomenon of asthmaexacerbation after dental plaque control, no scientific report hasbeen found to describe the link between bacterial profiles andrespiratory quality in children with asthma.Objective To investigate association between bacterial profiles changesand improvement in respiratory quality after periodontal treatment.Methods Asthmatic children with FEV1 reversibility ~ 12% anddental plaque index ~ 2 who qualified for inclusion criteria wererandomized into two groups. The treatment group was referred fordental plaque removal by oral biology dentist and guided to performan individual oral health care for seven days. The control groupwas observed without intervention. Each subject was assessed forrespiratory quality and bacterial profiles taken from plaque culturebefore and after one week run-in period. Paired t-test and correlationwere used for statistical anayses. The study protocol was approved bythe Medical Research Ethics Committee of Dr. Soetomo Hospital.Results Dental plaque control was performed in 18 of 36 childrenwith mild asthma. At follow-up, plaque analysis among thesubjects receiving dental treatment showed a significant reduction(P<0.01) in number of microbial colony and gram negative bacilli,corresponding by a fall in asthma score, FEV1 reversibility, andblood eosinophil (P0.4; P<0.05) withbacterial profiles changes after periodontal treatment.Conclusions A reduced rate of gram negative bacilli colonizationin dental plaque after periodontal treatment is related toimprovement of respiratory quality of asthmatic children.

Background A possible association between vitamin 0 andtuberculosis has been described. In adult, vitamin 0 is consideredto have a role in protecting tuberculosis. On the other hand,tuberculosis infection can decrease serum vitamin 0 level.Objective To find out the difference between serum vitamin 0level in children with and without tuberculosis, and to find theassociation of serum vitamin 0 level with tuberculosis.Methods A cross sectional study was conducted in Cibabat Hospital,Ban dung from July to October 2007. We selected children :S 14years, diagnosed as tuberculosis, and had positive response aftertwo month treatment; for control we selected randomly siblingsor neighbors who didn't have tuberculosis. We excluded childrenwith liver abnormalities and immunocompromized children.Mann-Whitney test and OR method with 95% confidence intervalwas used to analyze the data.Results Thirty-nine children with tuberculosis (21 boys, 18 girls)and 39 children without tuberculosis (19 boys, 20 girls) as wereenrolled. Mean serum vitamin 0 level of children with and withoutTB were 4 7 (SO 25) pmol/L and 125 (SO 3 7) pmol/L, respectively(P=O.OOl). All children without tuberculosis had normal vitamin0 level while of those with tuberculosis, 14 children had normallevel and 25 children were deficient (corrected OR: 139, 95%CI8 to 238).Conclusion Serum vitamin 0 level is low in children withtuberculosis.

Background Nephrotic syndrome is a glomerular disordercharacterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema,and hyperlipidemia. Hypoalbuminemia in nephrotic syndromeleads to hypovolemia, a decrease in renal perfusion and glomerularfiltration rate. Serum creatinine level reflects the glomerularfiltration rate.Objective The aim of this study was to determine the correlationbetween serum albumin and creatinine levels in children withnephrotic syndrome.Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out on children withidiopathic nephrotic syndrome, aged between 1 to 14 years old,admitted to Pediatric Department in Hasan Sadikin Hospitalfrom January 2001 to September 2007. We used data frompatients' medical records to obtain serum albumin and creatininelevels during nephrotic stage. Statistical analysis using Pearsoncorrelation test was performed to establish the correlation betweenserum albumin and creatinine levels. The type of correlation wasdetermined by regression analysis.Results Subjects were 113 children, consisted of 81 boys (72%)with mean of age 6.8 (SD 3.3) years. Mean of serum albumin andcreatinine levels were 1.4 (SD 0.4) g/dL and 0.7 (SD 0.4) mg/dL, respectively. Analysis using Pearson correlation test showeda moderate (r=-0.478) significant correlation (P
