Abstract

Various factors contribute to the routine hematology values in a healthy-looking person. Variability in analysis methods can also influence the results. However, all of the factors above can be standardized. Those variables have to be considered in determining hematology reference values. The aim of this research is to compare routine hematology results based on local RSHS Clinical Pathology laboratory with Sysmex KX-21 reference values in Medical Check Up (MCU) patients. Another aim is to determine own reference values of RSHS Clinical Pathology Laboratory. The subject of research is MCU patients who came to RSHS Clinical Pathology laboratory, Bandung, for medical check-ups and declared healthy by the internist, and meet the inclusion criteria. The method used is diagnostic test research with cross-sectional descriptive design. The result shows that routine hematology values range that is not too different from reference value range used for KX-21 in Japanese population. Nevertheless, the value range acquired in this research is closer to reference values in Wintrobe reference book. In conclusion, this research shows that routine hematology results of normal population in RSHS are closer to Wintrobe reference values compared to Sysmex KX-21 reference value in Japanese population.  Keywords : reference value range, MCU, Wintrobe, Sysmex KX-21

Abstract

The Long Acting Reversible Contraceptive ( LARC) is a method of contraception that is effective and efficient to prevent pregnancy or limit births, but its use in Indonesia is still low especially in women after childbirth.  This may increase the risk of unwanted pregnancy and short birth interval.  The purpose of this research is to find out what factors affect the use of LARC in women after childbirth in Indonesia. This research is an analysis of secondary data Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey 2012, with stamp 3,918 Women’s Reproductive Age, which is between 15-49 years  old and  they had given birth one year before the survey.  The data were analyzed by using simple logistic regression analysis.  This research shows that the proportion of women who used LARC after childbirth in Indonesia in 2012 was 7.31% and it was influenced by the level of socio-economic, domiciles, the husband’s level of education, the number of children born alive, the number of children still living, the desired number of children, the role of husband, and the role of religious figures. Keywords: LARC, women after childbirth, non medical factors

Abstract

The number of cancer patient is increasing, while a really effective therapy has not yet been discovered. One concept of carcinogenesis is the relation between chronic inflammation and cancer. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has a carcinogenic effect in inflamed and malignant tissues. Red Fruit contains carotenoid that can suppress COX-2 gene expression and tocopherol, which is a potent inhibitor of  COX-2.  The purpose of this study is to determine cytotoxic activity of Red Fruit oil and its effect on COX-2 gene expression. The experiment used 5 dosages of Red Fruit, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 µg/mL, exposed to Raji cells. However, unexposed Raji cells were used as control. Cytotoxic activities were evaluated by MTT Assay, while Lethal Concentration50 (LC50) was determined through regression-correlation analysis. Red Fruit oil effect on COX-2 gene expression was evaluated by Reversed Transcriptase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) method and electrophoresis. Electrophoresis bands were analyzed by Scion Image for Windows. Optical Integrated Density (OID) of unexposed and exposed groups were statistically analyzed with one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan test with α=0.05. The results showed that Red Fruit had a cytotoxic activity on Raji cells with LC50 of331.42 µg/mL. Red Fruit suppressed COX-2 gene expression with an effective dosage obtained at 500 µg/mL.          Keywords: red fruit, cytotoxicity, cox-2 gene expression, raji cells

Abstract

A syringomyelia is a clinical entity of any tubular fluid-filled cavity within the spinalcord that causes slowly but relentlessly progressive symptoms as well as expansion of thecavity, which is most commonly associated with Chiari malformation Type I, which due toadvancement of imaging techniques has resulted in more incidental idiopathic syringes that arenot associated with tumor, trauma, or postinfectious causes. Idiopathic syringomyelia (IS) is apathological entity in which no overt etiology is evident for a syrinx. In this study, we describe acase in a 45 year-old woman presented with progressive difficulties in walking and also hadmyelopathic signs evidenced by hyperreflexia in the lower extremities and underwent foramenmagnum decompression and C1 lamiectomy. Idiopathic syringomyelia is a pathological entityin which no overt etiology is evident for a syrinx. It can be managed succesfully byconservative treatment but if there is a progression of neurological deficit, surgicaldecompression is a mandatory.Keywords: idiopathic syringomyelia, neurological deficit

Abstract

Self-Directed Learning (SDL) is an important skill that must be achieved by medical students.The aim of this study is to identify the level of self-motivation and SDL readiness in the medicalstudents as well as to identify factors affecting SDL. This is is a mixed method research,involving first-year and clinical year medical students. A quantitative research is conducted bydistributing self-motivation (MSLQ) and SDL questionnaire (SDLRS). A total sampling isapplied to select the respondents. Furthermore, focus group discussion (FGD) on students andtutors/preceptors is carried out. Informants are chosen by purposive sampling method. Thisresearch reveals that most of medical students have a good level of self-motivation but a lowlevel of SDL readiness. Nevertheless, the mean scores of SDL readiness in both groups showsno significant differences. The research also identifies four major factors affecting the SDLreadiness, namely the students’ characteristics, learning process, the role of tutors/preceptorsand supporting facilities for learning. There is no significant difference between SDL readinessof the first-year and clinical year of medical students. Unprepared students’ characteristics,sub-optimal learning process, unsupported role of tutors/preceptors and inadequate learningresources are found to be the mayor factors influencing SDL readiness.Keywords: self-directed learning readiness; self-motivation; problem-based learning

Abstract

Howes’ Analysis is an important tool in orthodontic treatment,as it can analyze abnormalities of teeth and jaw, to help diagnose and plan dental care. The aim of this study was to compare the length and width of the dental arch and the the apical base patients of Maranatha Dental and Mouth Hospital (Rumah Sakit Gigi dan Mulut Maranatha) / RSGM and Howes Analysis standard of Caucasian Race which considered to be the reference in determining of orthodontic treatment plan. The subjects consisted of 30 patients who met the inclusion criteria and the results data were analyzed by unpaired t test. The measured variable is the length of the dental arch, the width of the dental arch, and the width of the apical base, and calculated into Howes’ Index. The results showed that there were significant differences in the measurement of the length and width of the dental arch and the Howes Index; whereas the measurement of the apical base there was no significant difference between the results of the study and the reference of Caucasian Race. Conclusion, the length and width of the dental arch and the Howes’ Index did not differ between RSGM Bandung patients with Caucasian race standards whereas the apical base width was different.Keywords: Caucasian people, Howes’ analysis, Howes’ index, Maranatha Dental and Mouth Hospital Bandung
