Abstract

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of death cancer in women. Cancer therapies using TNFα and IFNγ have been recently developed by direct effects and activation of immune responses. This study was performed to evaluate the effects of TNFα and IFNγ directly, and TNFα and IFNγ secreted by Conditioned Medium-human Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells (CM-hWJMSCs) toward apoptosis of BC cells (MCF7).Materials and Methods: BC cells were induced by TNFα and IFNγ in 175 and 350ng/mL, respectively. CM-hWJMSCs were produced by co-culture hWJMSCs and NK cells that secreted TNFα, IFNγ, perforin (Prf1), granzyme B (GzmB) for treating BC cells. The BC cells were treated with CM-hWJMSCs in 50%. The expression of apoptotic genes Bax, p53, and the antiapoptotic gene Bcl-2 were determined using RT-PCR.Results: TNFα and IFNγ at concentration of 350 ng/mL induced higher Bax expression compared to 175 ng/mL. TNFα and IFNγ 350 ng/mL, 175 ng/mL induced p53 expression, whilst TNFα and IFNγ at 350 ng/mL decreased Bcl-2 expression. Perf1, GzmB, TNFα and IFNγ-containing CM-hWJMSCs induced significantly apoptosis percentage, induced Bax expression, but did not effect p53, Bcl-2 expression.Conclusion: TNFα and IFNγ directly induce Bax, p53, decrease Bcl-2 gene expression. The Prf1, GzmB, TNFα, IFNγ-containing CM-hWJMSCs induce apoptosis and Bax expression.Keywords: breast cancer, Wharton’s Jelly mesenchymal stem cells, TNFα, IFNγ

Abstract

The elderly population will increase as well as increasing life expectancy. Health problems in elderly will be more complex and need a comprehensive management. One of the problems that arise from the aging process is sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is a decreasing in muscle mass and muscle strength or muscle function caused by multifactorial not only due to aging process, but also nutrition, immobilization, genetics and others risk factors. Muscle is an endogen organ that produces various proteins that can affect the health system. This protein is referred to as myokine. Myokine is anti-inflammation cytokine and peptide produced by striated muscles. Physical activity results in myokine secretion that can reduce inflammation due to a sedentary lifestyle. Inflammation can lead to worsening sarcopenia and fat accumulation in striated muscles, thus reducing muscle mass, muscle strength and causing physical inactivity. The most of this type myokine have antiinflammation effect have work as autocrine, paracrine and endocrine. Chronic inflammation is a contributor that plays a role in the pathophysiology of various diseases including sarcopenia, it will protected by myokine. Myokine can affect the metabolism of glucose, fatty acids, angiogenesis, myogenesis, neurogenesis, and can explain the relationship between muscle, liver, fat, tissue and brain. Some knewn myokines include interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-5, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21), leukemia Inhibitory factor (LIF), irisin and secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC). Physical exercise can induce myokine secretion from striated muscle to circulation. Through these mechanisms, myokine is expected to improve metabolism of glucose, fat and protein muscle, liver, fat, tissue, brain and reduce the incidence some comorbidity especially sarcopenia. Finally, it's will be decreasing of disability, morbidity and mortality rate in elderly.Keywords: myokine, sarcopenia, elderly

Abstract

Background: Several emerging problems of regular hemodialysis (HD) including cardiovascular complication or atherosclerosis formation caused by chronic inflammation. High sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery can be applied as atherosclerosis progressivity marker. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between some inflammatory factors, including hs-CRP, interleukin (IL)-6, oxidized-low-density lipoproteins (LDL), with  IMT  among end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. This was the first study in Indonesian population. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on ESRD patients who performed regular HD at Hemodialysis Unit of Dr. Kariadi Hospital and Telogorejo Hospital Semarang between October 2009 and April 2010. This was a preliminary report for the cohort study.Results: Seventy-eight HD subjects were enrolled in this study, with mean age of 49.8 years old. Mean HD duration was 25.5±32.16 months. The mean carotid artery wall thickness was 0.64±0.149 mm. IL-6, hs-CRP, and ox-LDL level were higher in IMT group ≥0.5 mm than IMT group <0.5 mm. There was a significant correlation between hs-CRP (prevalence ratio (PR)=1.3; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.02-1.7; p-value=0.01) as well as IL-6 (PR=1.5; 95% CI=1.1 -2.0; p-value<0.001) and IMT wall thickness. The oxidized-LDL level was not a significant factor to be associated with IMT. The cut-off value for hs-CRP and IL-6 to predict IMT progressivity was 2.8 mg/L and 2.88 mg/L, respectively.Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between IL-6 and hs-CRP levels and IMT. There was not significant correlation between oxidized LDL and IMT.Keywords: hemodialysis, atherosclerosis, IMT, IL-6, hs-CRP, Oxidized-LDL

Abstract

Background: A pressure ulcer (PU) is localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with sharp surface. Several studies have found that PU is also a common problem in the pediatric population. Infection at PU sites is the most common complication, where PU can host resistant microorganisms and can turn into a local infection that is a source of bacteremia in hospital patients. This study aims to determine the most common bacteria and antimicrobial susceptibility at the site of PU in pediatric patients that serve as baseline data in Haji Adam Malik Hospital.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in July-December 2017, involving 30 PU pediatric patients. For each subject, swab from ulcers were cultured in microbial laboratory to determine the microbial pattern and antimicrobial susceptibility.Results: The most common age group was 0-3 (53.3%), the highest gender was male (60%), the most common type was type 2 (46.7%), the main location was occipital (30%) and the most common undelying diseases were hydrocephalus (16.6%). The most common microbial pattern in PU pediatric patients is Acinetobacter baumannii (40%). The highest sensitivity is vancomycine for gram positive bacteria and amikacine for gram negative bacteria.Conclusion: The most common microbial pattern in PU pediatric patients in Haji Adam Malik Hospital is Acinetobacter baumannii (40%). The highest sensitivity is vancomycine for gram positive bacteria and amikacine for gram negative bacteria.Keywords: pressure ulcer, pediatric, microbial pattern, antimicrobial susceptibility

Abstract

Background: Many studies had discovered that early onset severe preeclampsia (EO-PE) has worst maternal and neonatal outcome compared to late-onset type (LO-PE), related to its placental involvement. Severe preeclampsia was defined as newly onset severe hypertension developed after 20 weeks gestation in previously normal blood pressure women, with coexistence of proteinuria, or maternal organ or uteroplacental dysfunction. Hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) is an enzyme with multiple effect which is protective to pregnancy.Materials and Methods: The total study subjects were 40 pregnant women consisted of 10 EO-PE, 10 normal early onset pregnancy (EO-NP), 10 LO-PE, and 10 normal late onset pregnancy (LO-NP). As much as 5 cc of plasma from umbilical cord was taken as soon as the baby was born, and the HO-1 level was examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The primary outcome were umbilical cord HO-1 level and neonatal composite morbidity (low Apgar score, low birthweight, length of stay >5 day, respiratory distress syndrome, jaundice and neonatal death).Results: The plasma level of HO-1 in EO-PE subjects were lower than EO-NP (0.96±0.37 ng/mL vs. 2.43±0.58 ng/mL, p<0.001). There were no significant differences in the level of HO-1 in LO-PE and LO-NP (2.18±1.07 ng/mL vs. 3.02±0.64 ng/mL, p=0.277). Plasma level of umbilical cord HO-1 of EO-PE patients was lower compared to LO-PE (0.96±0.37 ng/mL vs. 2.18±1.07 ng/mL, p=0.034). Neonatal outcome of EO-PE was worse than EO-NP (p=0.033), and LO-PE (p=0.003), while in LO-PE did not different with LO-NP (p=0.211).Conclusion: EO-PE is associated with lower plasma umbilical cord level of HO-1 and worse neonatal outcome compared to LO-PE. This indicating abnormal placental blood vessel development, placental ischemia in EO-PE, lead to reduced uteroplacental perfusion and significantly worse neonatal outcome compared to LO-PE.Keywords: severe preeclampsia, early onset preeclampsia, late onset preeclampsia, hemeoxygenase-1

Abstract

Background: Children’s immunity system is relatively lower on first year of life, causing atopic babies, leading to allergy. Ideally, newborn babies are given breast milk as main food source on the first 6 months, but often being replaced with cow milk which can induce Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy. For the alternative can replace it with soymilk formula which contains phytoestrogen from isoflavon, which works just like estrogen. The aim of this study to determine whether administration of soymilk formula is capable on increasing estrogen level and reducing testosterone level on male infant white Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus).Materials and Methods: This research used post test only control group design. Samples were consisted of 36 infant male white Wistar rats aged 7 days, weighing from 10-15 grams, divided into 2 groups, control group which was given cow’s milk and intervention group which was given soymilk. Each group were given intervention with the dose 5% of BW (grams), given twice-a-day orally for 21 days, and subsequently in the morning their blood samples were taken to examine the level of estrogen and testosterone hormone.Results: The study showed that the level of estrogen on intervention group was significantly higher than the control group with mean estrogen level of 0.55±0.03 pg/mL in the control group and 0.82±0.01 pg/mL in the intervention group, while the mean testosterone level was significantly lower on intervention group compared with control group (p<0.05) with 3.25±0.15 ng/mL on control group and 2.36±0.22 ng/mL on intervention group.Conclusion: Soymilk was able to increase estrogen level and reduce testosterone level on male infant white Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus).Keywords: soymilk formula, estrogen, testosterone, male infant rats

Abstract

Background: Microtia is a congenital malformation in the external ear due to cartilage defect. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) is promising cells to develop cartilage tissue engineering for microtia. In this study, we focused on proliferation and chondrogenesis of ADSC in three different media, which consist of 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 10% FBS with L-ascorbic acid, and 10% human platelet rich plasma (PRP). Methods: ADSC were induced to differentiate into adipocytes, chondrocyte and osteocytes. ADSC morphology, proliferation and population doubling time was compared in three different media and analysed. Observation and alcian blue staining were done every 7 days to assess chondrogenic potency of ADSC from each treatment.Results: Isolated ADSC were able to differentiate into adipocytes, osteocytes and chondrocytes. ADSC in all group have fibroblast-like morphology, but cells in 10% FBS and 10% FBS with LAA group were flattened and larger. ADSC in 10% PRP group proliferates faster than 10% FBS with and without LAA. PDT values of ADSC were 34 hours, 44 hours and 48 hours, respectively for 10% PRP, 10% FBS with LAA and 10% FBS group. Alcian blue staining revealed that ADSC in 10% FBS with LAA and 10% PRP were able to proceed to chondrogenesis when cultured time were prolong up to 21 days, but not with ADSC in 10% FBS. Conclusion: We conclude that adding 10% FBS with LAA or 10% PRP into medium culture can support proliferation and chondrogenesis of ADSC. Key words: human ADSC, PRP, L-ascorbic acid, proliferation, chondrogenesis

Abstract

Background: Recently we have isolated and cultured dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) derived from impacted third molar (DPSC-M3). The DPSC-M3 was suggested as mesenchymal stem cell, however the cell surface markers were not completely clarified. Therefore current study was conducted to investigate the markers.Materials and Methods: Passage 5 DPSC-M3 was cultured, labeled and examined with flow cytometer. All markers were investigated according to the proposed cell surface marker panel for the minimal identification of human mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) by International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT). The positive markers were cluster of differentiation (CD)90, CD73, CD105, while the negative markers were CD34, CD45, CD11b, CD19, and Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-DR. Results: Results showed that the size and granularity of DPSC-M3 were ranged from 75 to 230 and 27 to 203, respectively. The cell surface antigens examination showed that CD90, CD105 and CD73 were highly expressed (>95%), meanwhile expressions of CD45, CD34, CD11b, CD19 and HLA-DR were <2%.Conclusion: Since the all markers expression were in accordance to the proposed cell surface marker panel for the minimal identification of human MSC by ISCT, DPSC-M3 could be suggested as an MSC.Keywords: dental pulp, stem cell, dental pulp stem cell, ISCT, flow cytometry
