Abstract

Background: The pathogenesis of heart failure after myocardial infarction is associated with the pathogenesis of cardiac remodeling. Galectin-3 (Gal-3) has a role in the pathophysiology of cardiac remodeling after acute myocardial infarction. N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) can prevent inflammation, remodeling and left ventricular dysfunction, interstitial fibrosis, and improve survival. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of oral N-Acetylcysteine on Galectin-3 in acute myocardial infarction patients.Subjects and Methods: This was an experimental study with pre and post, single-blind, and randomization methods. The study was conducted at Dr.Moewardi General Hospital Surakarta, Central Java, from June to August 2018. A sample of 29 acute myocardial infarction patients with ST-segment elevation who received fibrinolytic therapy was selected for this study. 14 patients as a control group received standard therapy and 15 patients as intervention group received oral NAC supplementary therapy 600 mg three times daily for three days. The dependent variable was Gal-3 levels. The independent variable was NAC supplementary therapy. The data were analyzed by Mann Whitney test.Results : Gal-3 levels in intervention group (mean= 8.95; SD=1.76) were lowered than the control group (mean= 11.42; SD= 3.76) and it was statistically significant (p= 0.026). Conclusion: Supplementary therapy of NAC 600 mg orally 3 times a day for 3 days can reduce levels of Gal-3 in patients with acute myocardial infarction who receive fibrinolytic therapy.Keywords: galectin-3, n-acetylcysteine, acute myocardial infarction Correspondence: Akhmad Jalaludinsyah.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of liver cirrhosis (SH) worldwide is at seventh place as the cause of death. Increased pressure in the portal vein Portal Hypertension (HP) causes esopha­geal varices and the more likely the patient to bleed. Endothelial dysfunction in cirrhosis of the liver causes a decrease in nitric oxide (NO) levels resulting in an imbalance between relaxation factors and portal vein contractions and increasing hs-CRP levels. Simvastatin can increase NO levels and improve endothelial dysfunction in patients with SH and can reduce levels of hs-CRP. This study aimed to determine the effect of simvastatin administration on nitric oxide and hs-CRP level in patients with liver cirrhosis.Subjects and Method: This was a randomized controlled trial conducted at Dr. Moewardi hospital, Surakarta, Central Java. A sample of 29 patients was divided into treatment and control groups. 14 patients in the treatment group were given simvastatin dose of 20 mg. 15 patients in the control group received a placebo. The dependent variable was a nitric oxide and hs-CRP levels. The inde­pendent variable was Simvastatin administration. Nitric oxide serum level was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hs-CRP level was measured by the immune­chemilu­minescent method. The data were analyzed by t-test.Results: NO level after Simvastatin 20 mg administration (Mean= 7.93 µg/mL; SD= 1.78 µg/ mL) was higher than before (Mean= 5.14 µg/mL; SD= 2.25 µg/mL) and it was statistically significant (p = 0.001). Hs-CRP level after Simvastatin 20 mg administration (Mean= 2.04 mg/L; SD= 0.80 mg/L) was lowered than before (Mean= 7.82 mg/L; SD= 1.15 mg/L) and it was statistically significant (p= 0.001).Conclusion: Simvastatin administration increases NO serum levels and reduces the hs-CRP level in patients with liver cirrhosis.Keywords: nitric oxide, hs-CRP, simvastatin, liver cirrhosisCorrespondence: Budhi Hariyanto.

Abstract

Background: Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone arising from aphalanx of finger is extremely rare. Although, the occurrence of GCT in the hands is a rare, it has been reported that GCT of the small bones (small-bone GCT) carries a higher risk of local recurrence and metastasis than conventional GCT.Subjects and Method: We report two cases of GCT arising from a phalanx of a hand finger. First patient was treated with wide excision of the tumor and fusion with fibular bone graft with the help of a K-wire. Second patient was treated by excision of tumour (Curretage) with allograft bonegraft for bone defect.Results: At their most recent follow-ups (4 months, respectively), both were recurrence free and had returned to their previous occupational and recreational activities.Conclusion: The effectiveness of these methods in the treatment and prevention of recurrence is still under discussion and there is no gold standard for treating GCT.Keywords: GCT, phalanx of finger, excision, illiac crest bonegraft, allograftCorrespondence: Pamudji Utomo.

Abstract

Background: Uterine cervical carcinoma is the most gynecological malignancy in women worldwide. The most common type of cervical carcinoma histology is squamous cell carcinoma and has a better prognosis than adenocarcinoma. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is the management of early-stage cervical carcinoma before radical hysterectomy is performed. In addition to clinical-pathological factors, biomolecular markers are now being developed and used as parameters for evaluating chemotherapy responses. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-C is a VEGF derivative that plays a role in the process of vasculogenesis, limphangiogenesis, and the formation of new lymphatic channels which play an important role in metastasis. This study aimed to examine the effect of Paxus-Carboplatin chemotherapy in decreasing VEGF-C in squamous cell cervical carcinoma tissue.Subjects and Method: This was a quasi experiment study conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pathology Anatomy Laboratory of Dr. Moewardi Hospital/ Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sebelas Maret. 25 tissue samples of squamous cell stage IB2-IIA2 cervical carcinoma immunohistochemistry VEGF-C expression was carried out before and after Paxus-Carboplatin chemotherapy was given. The data were analyzed by Wilcoxon test.Results: VEGF-C expression in squamous cell cervical carcinoma tissue after chemotherapy was lower (mean = 4.20) than before chemotherapy (mean = 6.16) and it was statistically significant (p<0.001).Conclusion: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy decreases VEGF-C in squamous cell cervical carcinoma tissue.Correspondence: Uswatun Khasanah Kartikasari.

Abstract

Background: Distal femur fractures must always be considered for vascular disorders given the high risk. The incidence rate of femoral fractures is 1/10000 patients per year with the incidence rate of vascular injury around 0.10% -2.00%. Salter-Harris (SH) fracture classification is used in cases of fractures involving the growth plate (physeal plate) in children. Volkmann's ischemic contracture is caused by severe injury to the deep tissue and nerves. If tissue pressure is equal to or more than the perfusion pressure of the capillary, the microcirculation will be disrupted and ischemic occur. Normal myosit cells will be replaced by fibroblasts that tend to contract.Subjects and Method: A 10 years old boy had a traffic accident while riding a motorcycle 6 days before the patient came to the hospital. The patient could not walk, feeling pain and swelling on the left knee, the patient didn’t bring to the hospital immediately after the accident. On physical examination, there was angulation in the distal left femur, there was tenderness on palpation and unable to do dorsiflexion or moving the fingers of the left foot but still could feel touch stimu­la­tion on the pedis.Results: In our patient case with the diagnosis of left femoral artery occlusion et causa closed fracture distal femur (Salter-Harris type II) managed by surgery to release the femoral artery with internal fixation to the distal femur using Kirschner wire (minimally invasive) and massage to the femoral artery give optimal results.Conclusion: Surgery to release the femoral artery with internal fixation to the distal femur using Kirschner wire (minimally invasive) and massage to the femoral artery give an optimal result.Keywords: Salter-Harris fracture, femoral artery, Kirschner wire, Volkmann's ischaemic contractureCorrespondence: Pamudji Utomo.

Abstract

Background: Quadriceps tendon ruptures are uncommon injury that affects middle-aged women, predominantly it affects middle aged men. However, the bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture is extremely rare in the absence of systemic disease.Subjects and Method: We reported a case of bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture in a healthy 65 year old female. She felt pain in both knees since 4 months before entering the hospital. Local physical examination on both knees reveal the loss of normal contour of rectus femoris, tenderness at superior pole patella the ruptur site, and palpable defect within 2 cm of superior pole patella. Patient unable to extend knee against resistance, and unable to perform straight leg raise. The patient was carried out a surgical repair with consent.Results: After the surgery both knees were immobilized with knee extension splint for 6 weeks. Patient evaluation revealed no pain and progressive recovery of muscular strength after four months and could be able to walk and returned to normal activity.Conclusion: Surgery is needed to repair quadriceps rupture.Keywords: Quadriceps tendon, quadriceps rupture, repair tendon.Correspondence: Pamudji Utomo.

Abstract

Background: Various bacteria have been identified as the agents causing bloodstream infection. Multidrug resistant (MDR) strains, such as Gram-negative pathogens producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and Methicillin-resistant S.aureus (MRSA) are potential bacterial agents causing bloodstream infection in the hospital setting. The increase of these MDR strains in bloodstream infection is alarming since there are limited antibiotic choices for treatment. This study aimed to investigate the agents causing bloodstream infection and to investigate their antibiotics susceptibility profiles. Subjects and Method: Samples were venous blood collected from patients admitted to hospital from January 2014 to December 2016. Bacteria were grown in-automated BACTEC® blood culture (BD, New Jersey, USA). The identification of MRSA strain was conducted using oxacillin susceptibility test. The bacterial identification and identification of ESBL-producing bacteria was conducted using colorimetric assay using Vitek2®system (bioMérieux).Results: The antibiotic profiles of all bacteria isolated from venous blood samples were analysed. The most bacteria isolated from the blood stream were K. pneumonia, A. baumannii, E. coli, P. Aeruginosa, E. cloacae, S. marcennes, S. haemolyticus, S. hominis, S.epidermidis, and S. aureus. Conclusions: The resistant profiles of bacteria isolated from blood stream showed that there was a high incidence of MDR bacteria, including potential ESBL-producing bacteria, carbapenemase-producing bacteria and MRSA strains.Keywords: Bloodstream Infection, Staphylococcus aureus, Extended Spectrum Betalactamase, Antibiotic Resistance.Correspondence: Betty Suryawati.
