Abstract

Background: The effects of post mortem interval on tryptase levels are unclear and have been challenging to quantify due to limited and at times contradictory research. Purpose: Analyze the effects of Post Mortem Interval (PMI) due to anaphylactic shock on the expression of β-tryptase and mast cell chymase in the heart organ. Method: This type of research was an experimental study with a randomized block design (RBD) with the same subjects and a time series for 24 hours, using 5 (five) rabbits. The measurement of β-tryptase and chymase expression was based on immunohistochemical IRS (immunoreactive score) in the heart organs of rabbits experiencing anaphylactic shock sensitization and induction of anaphylactic shock using ovalbumin. Result: Based on the results of statistical tests using univariate analysis, there was a relationship between the length of death (post mortem interval) and the expression of mast cells β-Tryptase and cardiac chymase (p-value = 0.006) and chymase (p-value = 0.002) with (p-value <0.05). The effective test time with β-tryptase markers using cardiac organs was prone to long death time of 0 - 15 hours. The effective check-up time with chymase markers using the heart organ was at a long time of death of 9 hours. Conclusion: The results of the study showed that tryptase and chymase could be used as markers of anaphylactic shock.

Abstract

Background: The complete treatment of chronic wounds remains a significant unmet medical need. To expedite the healing of chronic wounds, numerous studies have begun to utilize gels, including hydrogels or sol-gels, which incorporate a combination of antioxidant properties. Curcuma xanthorrhiza is known to contain polyphenolic compounds, which include flavonoids acting as an antioxidant. Purpose: Examine the potential of C. xanthorrhiza extract (CXE) gel as a candidate for wound-healing by measuring its antioxidant activity. Method: Three CXE gel formulas were prepared from different concentrations of CMC-Na (3, 4, and 5%). Each formula consisted of 5% CXE, 15% propylene Glycol, 10% Glycerin, 0.25% Methylparaben, and distilled water. The quality of the CXE gel was tested through homogeneity, spreadability, pH, and viscosity tests. The antioxidant activity was measured by 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS)-reducing activity assay in a gel formula that was close the standards. The measurement results were then used in the calculation of antioxidant activity to determine the IC50 value. Result: Formulas 1, 2, and 3 meet the requirements by yielding a homogeneous gel with a spreadability of 5.37 – 5.93 cm, a pH level of 5.87 – 6.10, and a viscosity of 8.800 – 9296.67 cps. The highest DPPH and ABTS percentages were 34.04% and 5.28%, respectively. The IC50 values of CXE gel in DPPH and ABTS were 1973.38 μg/mL and 700.65 μg/mL, respectively. Conclusion: The CXE 1, 2, and 3 gel formula meets the requirements and has the potential to be used as a wound healing therapy through its antioxidant properties.

Abstract

Background: Water quality can decrease due to population growth, domestic waste handling, climate, and human activities. Most of the people in Cimahi use well water for drinking and eating. However, using well water with high lead levels for consumption can adversely affect on the lead levels in the women's blood of childbearing age. Purpose: This study investigates the relationship between lead levels in well water and the corresponding levels found in women's blood in the Leuwigajah area of Cimahi. Method: Research samples were collected from both well water and the women's blood of childbearing age (15 - 49 years) who consume well water for drinking and cooking. Subsequently, sample preparation was conducted, and the samples were analyzed using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The Spearman correlation test was employed to analyze the data and establish any potential correlations. Result: The lead content in water ranged from 0.055 ppm to 0.089 ppm, exceeding the requirements for lead in clean water. Meanwhile, lead levels in the blood ranged from 1.5 ug/dL to 78.2 ug/dL, with 6.7% falling within the normal category, 40% in the tolerable category, 30% in the excess category, and 23.3% in the high category. The statistical results show a significant relationship between lead levels in well water and the blood, with a correlation value of 37.9%. The correlation value indicates a weak positive relationship. Conclusion: There is a relationship between lead levels in well water and women's blood.

Abstract

Background: Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetate Transaminase (SGOT) and Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT) are transaminase enzymes used to determine liver damage. The increase in both enzymes can indicate the level of liver cell damage. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is an antigen that can indicate an acute infection or a chronic carrier. Purpose: This study aims to determine the correlation between SGOT and SGPT levels with positive HBsAg levels. Method: It is a cross-sectional study using medical records from patients with positive HBsAg who performed SGOT and SGPT examinations at the Haji Public Hospital, East Java Province, in 2021. The correlation analysis used in this study is Kendall's tau correlation because the data contains outliers and is not normally distributed. Result: Based on the results, it is known that there is no significant correlation between SGOT and SGPT levels with positive HBsAg levels. The correlation coefficient for each is 0.110 and 0.144. Conclusion: It can happen because HBsAg levels vary between the disease's different phases, the patient's characteristics, and the levels of SGOT and SGPT.
