Abstract

Background : Previous studies showed a significant role of Vitamin D in modulating inflammation and immune abnormality in SLE. The correlation between vitamin D supplementation and SLE disease activity remains controversy. Neutrophyl-Lymphocyte count Ratio (NLCR) as an inflammation marker was significantly increased in SLE patients.Objective : To evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on disease activity and neutrophyllypmhocyte count ratio (NLCR) in SLE patients with hypovitaminosis D.Methods : This is a pre-post test study without control group using a consecutive sampling method. SLE patients were enrolled from Rheumatology Clinic of HasanSadikin General Hospital from November 2013-March 2014. Subjects received vitamin D3 2000 IU/day for 3 months. Data was analyzed using Wilcoxon test.Results : We analyzed 28 subjects with 89,3% of vitamin D deficiency and 10,7% of vitamin D insufficiency, which converted to 25% of vitamin D deficiency, 32,1% vitamin D insufficiency and 42,9% normal vitamin D plasma level at the end of the study.After supplementation, Mexican Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (MEX-SLEDAI) and NLCR was significantly decreased (median 4(3-8) to 2(0-6) and median 2,95(1,17-7,27) to 2,28 (1,07-4,87), p<0,001, respectively). SLE organ involvement such as mucocutan, hematology and renal also high BMI (>23 kg/m2) were risks of hypovitaminosis D. Vitamin D supplementation increased mean 25(OH)D serum level by 164,7%, 46,7% decreased of MEX-SLEDAI, and 24,2% decreased of NLCR (p<0,001). Nine subjects (32,1%) achieved remission, 19 subjects (67,9%) atdisease persistence and no subjects experienced flare up after supplementation.Conclusion : The effects of vitamin D3 2000 IU/day supplementation for 3 months are reduced disease activity and NLCR in SLE patients with hypovitaminosisD. The role of NLCR as a simple inflammation marker in this pilot study needs further investigation.

Abstract

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease with various underlying mechanisms characterized by autoantibody overproduction. It has been known that mortality and morbidity of SLE was higher in Asian patients compared with white patients. Several studies had showed that C-reactive protein (CRP) has the ability to suspend the progression of SLE through regulatory and clearance pathway, and low level of CRP and high level of anti-CRP antibody has been detected in SLE patients. A question raise whether mortality and morbidity in Asian SLE patients are associated with anti-CRP antibody.Objective: To study the prevalence of anti-CRP antibody and its relationship with disease activity in SLE patients at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital,Jakarta.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital from December 2009 until May 2010. Subjects were SLE patients whowere diagnosed based on the 1982 American College of Rheumatology criteria. Disease activity was measured using the Mexican SLE Disease Activity Index scoringsystem. Anti-CRP antibody assay was performed using the Western blot analysis. Correlation between the presence of anti-CRP antibody and disease activitywas evaluated using the T-test and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Result: Forty SLE patients with a mean age of 31.65 (SD 8.84) were enrolled in the study, 33 of which (82.5%) had positive autoantibody to CRP pentamer. The anti-CRP antibody was signifi cantly correlated (p = 0.024) with disease activity. Conclusions: There was a relatively large proportion of patients with positive anti-CRP antibody among SLE patients in Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital. Therewas also a signifi cant correlation between anti-CRP antibody and the disease activity.

Abstract

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of joint disease, can result in long-term disability. Limitation of activity in OA patients may result in a decline in the strength of quadriceps femoris muscles and thus further reduce mobility. Isometric exercise has been known to increase muscle strength, decrease pain, and improve knee function.Objective: To evaluate knee function measured by timed up-and-go test (TUGT) and stair-climbing test (SCT) as well as muscle strength in the fourth and sixth week after isometric exercise of quadriceps femoris muscles and the correlation between these variables.Methods: Female patients with OA underwent isometric exercise of quadriceps femoris muscles 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Muscle strength (measured by tensiometer cable) and knee function (measured by TUGT and SCT) were evaluated before and at week 4and 6 of the exercise.Results: Thirty fi ve female patients were recruited in this study. The majority of the patients (45.7%) were between 60 to 65 years old. Obesity was found in 62.86% of the patients. At week 6, there was significant decrease in mean TUGT and SCT (by 39.0% and 45.6%, respectively; p<0.001), and signifi cant increase in mean right and left quadriceps muscles strength (by 47.9% and 36.7%, respectively; p<0.001). There was a weaknegative correlation (nonsignifi cant) of the increased strength of quadriceps muscles with the increase of knee function according to TUGT (right leg: r = -0.172, p = 0.323; left leg: -0.303, p = 0.077) and SCT (right leg: r = -0.031, p = 0.860); left leg: r = -0.058, p = 0.742).Conclusion: In female patients in this study, significant improvement was found in the strength of quadriceps muscles, TUGT, and SCT after 6 weeks of isometric exercise. There was no signifi cant correlation between muscle strength and knee function according to TUGT and SCT.

Abstract

Background: Gout is a metabolic disease manifested mainly as an intense monoarticular inflammatory reaction which is strongly associated with hyperuricemia. Latest evidence showed that uric acid exerted effects on the development of other diseases. Many studies in developed countries had estimated the frequency of comorbidities associated with gout suchas hypertension, obesity, diabetes mellitus, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), and Myocardial Infarct (MCI). However, no data regarding these frequencies have been found in Indonesia up to now to the best of the author’s knowledge. This study aimed to establish thefrequency of these comorbidities in patients with gout in Rheumatology Clinic Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia.Methods: All medical records of patients with gout in Rheumatology Clinic Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital from January 2012 to December 2013 were collected. The data on blood pressure; Body Mass Index (BMI); random blood glucose, fasting blood glucose or 2 hourspost prandial blood glucose; history of myocardial infarction; and creatinine were taken and analyzed to determine the presence of comorbidities Results: Among all patients with gout in Rheumatology Clinic Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, 53.08% had chronic kidney disease, 42.73 % had hypertension, 25.39% had diabetes mellitus, 15.70% had myocardial infarction and 12.22% had obesity.Conclusions: Comorbidities commonly found in patients with gout in order of frequency were chronic kidney disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarct, and obesity.Keywords: gout, comorbidities, frequency.

Abstract

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic chronic infl ammatory disease of the joint that causes deformity or disability leading to a decreased function in RA patients. According to the 1987 American College of Rheumatology, rheumatoid factor (RF) is used as one of the diagnostic criteria because until today it is still considered as the primary autoantibody in RA although it has a lower specifi city than that of anticyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP). Besides RF and anti-CCP, anti-RA33 is another autoantibody found. Thepresence of the three autoantibodies in RA patient serum is important because it is the starting point of the pathogenesis of the autoimmune process in RA.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using consecutive sampling. Forty six subjects, all suffering from RA, were recruited for this study. All of them were tested for RF, anti-CCP, anti-RA33 titers using enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method and hadtheir hand radiograph taken to obtain the Sharp score to evaluate joint damage. During this study, 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28) (4 parameters) was also evaluated using erythrocyte sedimentation rate as one of the parameters.Results: The study found that the correlation between the three antibodies and DAS28 was not statistically signifi cant: RF (r = 0.200, p = 0.091), anti-CCP (r =0.117, p = 0.220), and anti-RA33 (r = 0.126, p = 0.202). There was a signifi cant correlation between antiCCP and the Sharp score (r = 0.300, p = 0.021). The correlation between the other two autoantibodies and the Sharp score was not statistically significant:RF (r = 0.194, p = 0.098), anti-RA33 (r = 0.156, p = 0.150).Conclusion: There was a signifi cant correlation between anti-CCP autoantibody and  radiographic hand joint damage in RA patients so that it could be used as an indicator for occurrence of an erosive or a more severe RA.

Abstract

Background: Obesity is a major risk factor for knee osteoarthritis. The relationship between obesity and OA may not be simply due to a mechanical factor. Evidences suggest that metabolic factors related to body fat play important roles, but the specific type of fat that contributes to OA is unclear. The objective of this study was to examine the possible correlation between body fat distribution with knee OA.Methods: This study was a cross sectional study of OA patients with obesity visiting the Rheumatology and Geriatric-Internal Medicine clinics at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital between January-March 2016. Data was collected by consecutive sampling. Knee OA was diagnosed from clinical and radiologic evaluation based on American College of Rheumatology 1986 criteria. Body fat distribution was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Conventional radiography of the knee was used to evaluate jointspace narrowing (JSN). The correlation between body fat distribution and joint space width was analyzed by bivariate analysisResult: A total of 56 subjects were recruited, majority were women (73.2%). Median visceral fat was 12% (7.5-16.5), median subcutaneous fat was 30.2% (16.5-37.9), and median visceral to subcutaneous fat ratio was 0,40 (0,26-0,80). The mean medial tibiofemoral joint space width was 2.34 mm (SD 0.78). Bivariate analysis revealed a correlation between visceral fat and medial tibiofemoral joint space width (r: -0,474 p: < 0,001). There is no correlation between subcutaneous fat and medial tibiofemoral joint space width (r: -0,187 p:0,169); and visceral to subcutaneous fat ratio and medialtibiofemoral joint space width (r: -0,225 p: 0,09).Conclusion: Visceral fat is correlated with medial tibiofemoral joint space width (r: -0.474 p: < 0.001). There is no correlation between subcutaneous fat, and visceral to subcutaneous fat ratio, with medial tibiofemoral joint space width.Keywords: Osteoarthritis, obesity, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, visceral to subcutaneous fat ratio, medial tibiofemoral joint space width

Abstract

Background. Rugerio et al 2006 reported that there were a positive correlation between the level of hyperuricemia and the level of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α pro infl ammatory cytokines value. On the other hand, Choi et al reported a negative correlation between hyperuricemia and the level of pro infl ammatory cytokine in the late phase of hyperuricemia.Methods. Venous blood samples were collected and stored at a temperature of - 80oC from in- and outpatients with hyperuricemia with age of more than 17years old at Dr. Kariadi Hospital, Semarang. The level of uric acids (mg/dl) were examined with enzymatic colorimetric technique (Roche Diagnostics) whereasthe levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α pro infl ammatory cytokines (pg/ml) were examined with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique using ultrasensitive commercial kit (Human ultra sensitive, Biosource International Inc Europe), and ELX 800, 2002 machine. The normality of the data was tested withOne-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov technique and the correlation was tested with Spearman correlation (data with abnormal distribution) or Pearson correlation (datawith normal distribution).Results. There was a weak positive correlation between the level of hyperuricemia and the level of IL-1 β cytokine in Spearman correlation test with r value = 0.246 and p value > 0.05 in Spearman correlation test. On the other hand, there was a weak negative correlation between the level of hyperuricemia and the level of TNF-α cytokine with r value = - 0.096 and p value > 0.05. There was also weak negative correlation between the level of hyperuricemia and the level of IL-6 cytokine with r value = - 0.072 and p value > 0.05 in Pearson correlation test.Conclusion. There was a weak positive correlation but not sifnificant between the level of hyperuricemia and the level of IL-1β.

Abstract

Background: Bone mineral density (BMD) measurement is one of the method for making osteoporosis diagnosis. World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the measurement of BMD conducted at antero-posterior lumbar vertebrae, unilateral hip (femur), and radius. However, there was a concern about osteoporosis under diagnosis if the measurement is only conducted at unilateral hip. Some studies found significant differences of BMD between both femur and evidence of the importance to examine both femur in making the diagnosis of osteoporosis. This study aims to determine anydifference between right and left femur BMD measurement and to investigate the bone status result with measurement of BMD of bilateral femur in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from June to November 2015. Patients who received dual-femur BMD testing using General Electrics (GE) Lunar Prodigy dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry at the DXA Facility in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital,Bandung between January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2014 were included. Statistical analysis performed to assess the difference and the correlation between theBMD of two femurs (g/cm2). T-scores of the subject were implemented into bone status according to WHO Diagnostic Criteria for Osteoporosis.Results: From sixty-one patients included in this study, there were difference bone status resulted from BMD of the femoral neck, Ward’s triangle, trochanter, andtotal hip area between right and left femur, although no statistically significance were found. There was a positive correlation between BMD of right and left femurat all areas of femur. There were 16 subjects (26.1%) showed combination level of bone status (normal, osteopenia, or osteoporosis in one femur).Conclusion: BMD results in each area of the right and left femurs are different.Therefore, performing bilateral hip BMD examination as a routine measurement for makingdiagnosis of osteoporosis is important.Keywords: Bone Mineral Density, Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry, Femur, Osteoporosis
