Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease based on increased pathologies such as RAS, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Bamboo shoot extract contains BSP, phenol, and flavonoids that can reduce inflammatory status, oxidative stress, and ACE. The study aims to determine the effect of bamboo shoot extract on decreased blood pressure and TNF-α in male Wistar Rats made hypertensive.Subjects and Method: This study used a True Experimental Design with the Posttest Only Control Group Design. The study was located at the Integrated Biomedical Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine, Sultan Agung Islamic University, Semarang in April-July 2021. The study sample of 24 male Wistar Rats was randomly divided into 4 groups. The dependent variables of the study were Blood pressure and TNF-α. The independent variable was bamboo shoot extract. Blood pressure was measured by Pressure Recording Tail Cuff, and TNF-α was measured by using the ELISA method with CATALOG Number KET 9007-48 well. The data were analyzed by using the One Way Anova Test.Results: This study showed no significant difference from systolic or diastolic blood pressure results of male Wistar rats in the K1, K2, and K3 groups after the intervention. Meanwhile, the average levels of TNF-α decreased significantly in the K3 group (Mean= 1.99; SD= 1.13) compared with the control group K0 (Mean= 16.70; SD= 7.45) and it was statistically significant p<0.001.Conclusion: There is no significant effect on blood pressure in male Wistar rats that obtained bamboo shoot extract, but there is a significant effect on TNF-α levels in male wistar rats that obtained bamboo shoot extract.Keywords: bamboo shoots, hypertension, blood pressure, TNF-α, male wistar rat.Correspondence: Surati.

Abstract

Background:  Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a widespread surgical procedure for severe arthritis. By 2030, primary TKA would reach over 1.2 million procedures annually in the United States. In Indonesia, the prevalence of joint disease is about 19.5 million cases. This study aims to evaluate the clinical demographics characteristics of TKA in Prof. Ngoerah General Hospital, Bali, Indonesia.Subjects and Method:  This is a descriptive study using a Cross-Sectional method with a total 57 adult patients undergoing TKA caused by Osteoarthritis grade III/IV in Prof IGNG Ngoerah Hospital from June 2020-June 2022. The dependent variable is the TKA procedure. Independent Variable is Age, gender, grade of knee osteoarthritis, comorbidities, and complications Data from the medical record was collected and stored in a Microsoft Office Excel 365 spreadsheet, the distributive table was analyzed and collected by using SPSS.Results:  Patient characteristic is dominated by an elderly female (84.2%), with age group 61-70 (38.6%). Comorbidities in this study include hypertension (28.1%), type II diabetes (10.5%), and rheumatoid disease (1.8%). The main complication recorded in this study includes joint stiffness (3.5%), and persistent pain (5.3%).Conclusion:  After Total Knee Arthroplasty was performed on 57 patients with a wide range of comorbidities, only a small number of complications occurred. This study implied that TKA could be performed even if the patient had some comorbidities as long as the patient pursued a complete pre and post-operative evaluation algorithm of the procedure.Keywords:  knee arthroplasty, osteoarthritis, human and medicine, rehabilitationCorrespondence:  IGN Wien Aryana, Consultant of Sports Medicine, Dept.

Abstract

Background:  Mental disorder is a condition of decreasing all psychiatric conditions that result in deviant behavior. WHO estimates that one in eight people in the world lives with a mental disorder in the world. The COVID-19 pandemic that has occurred since 2019 has had an impact and has had a major impact on the mental health of people in the world and in Indonesia. The Special Region of Yogyakarta is the province with the highest cases of mental disorders in Indonesia based on the results of the 2013 and 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) surveys. The purpose of this study was to determine the epidemiological description of mental disorders per classification in inpatients at Mental Hospitals in the Special Region of Yogyakarta in 2019-2021.Subjects and Method:  This study used a quantitative descriptive method, sourced from secondary data from Mental Hospitals in the Special Region of Yogyakarta for the period 2019 - 2021. The population in this study was 4,413, with a total sample of 3,919. The inclusion criteria are data of inpatients with mental disorders recorded in the recapitulation of medical records of inpatients at the Mental Hospital for the period 2019 to 2021. Exclusion criteria are incomplete data. The sampling technique used is total sampling. The person variable consists of a classification of mental disorders, age, gender, education level, occupation, marital status, health insurance, and end of care. The instrument used in this research is a dummy table. Data from this study were analyzed descriptively by looking at the frequency and proportion of each variable studied.Results:  The results showed that the highest disease classification was F20-F29 (schizophrenia, schizotypal disorder, and delusional disorder) 76.72%. Most of them were aged 25-44 years (55.60%), male (61.55%), graduated from high school or equivalent (46.54%), did not work (66.90%), and were not married (57.29%). Most of them use national health insurance (62.95%), end of treatment with doctor's approval (97.86%), and length of stay ≤ 42 days (95.1%). Most of the patients came from Sleman Regency (37.25%) and from urban areas (71.37%).Conclusion:  Most patients with mental disorders are in productive age. People with mental disorders are an economic burden that must be borne by their families and the government. So there is a need for comprehensive prevention efforts to reduce the incidence of mental disorders in the community.Keywords:  mental disorders, epidemiological studies, schizophreniaCorrespondence: Siti Kurnia Widi Hastuti, Faculty of Public Health Universitas Ahmad Dahlan.
