Abstract

bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, with high mortality and morbidity rates. The examination of IL-6 and neutrophils helps in diagnosis as a marker of inflammation, a predictor of mortality and morbidity, and is useful in evaluating the outcome of treatment. Garlic and its organosulfur content possess anti-inflammatory activity that has the potential to be used as additional therapy in pneumonia patients.Methods: A clinical study with a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was conducted on pneumonia patients who were hospitalized at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta from August to October 2022 by consecutive sampling. The treatment group (n=20) received standard therapy plus 3.5 mg of garlic capsules per day for 6 days, while the control group (n=20) received standard therapy. Levels of IL-6 and neutrophil were calculated on the first and sixth days, while the length of hospitalization was calculated from when the patient was admitted until discharge.Results: There was a significant IL-6 difference in the treatment group (P=0.027) and a neutrophil difference in the treatment group (P=0.025) compared to the control group, but there was no significant difference (P=0.876) in the length of stay in the treatment group compared to the control group.Conclusion: Giving garlic as a supplemental therapy to pneumonia patients could significantly reduce IL-6 and neutrophil levels.

Abstract

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Exposure to cigarette smoke activates alveolar macrophages producing neutrophils and proteases such as MMP-9 and NE that damage the extracellular matrix triggering emphysema as well as spill over into the systemic circulation. This study aimed to determine the correlation of serum MMP-9 level and blood absolute neutrophil count with diffusion capacity and exercise capacity of stable COPD patients.Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in stable COPD patients visiting the pulmonary outpatient clinic of Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Hospital in October 2022. Consecutive sampling was applied for sample collection. We assessed diffusion capacity and exercise capacity with the DLCO method and 6MWT, respectively. We examined serum MMP-9 level and blood absolute neutrophil count. All data were statistically analyzed with SPSS 22.0 and P<0.05 was considered significant.Results: Thirty stable COPD patients were included in the study comprising 19 males (63.3%), and 11 females (36.7%). With a mean age of 61.90±9.99. Serum MMP-9 level did not correlate with either diffusion capacity and blood absolute neutrophil count (P=0.898 and P=0.589, respectively). However, serum MMP-9 level had a significant correlation with exercise capacity (P=0.014). There was no correlation between blood absolute neutrophil count with diffusion capacity and exercise capacity (P=0.0281 and P=0.592, respectively). Diffusion capacity related to exercise capacity (P=0.001).Conclusion: Serum MMP-9 level is not related to diffusion capacity, but it is related to exercise capacity. Blood absolute neutrophil count is not related to diffusion capacity or exercise capacity. Serum MMP-9 level is not associated with blood absolute neutrophil count. Diffusion capacity is related to exercise capacity.

Abstract

Background: Lung cancer is the first cause of oncological death worldwide. Guidelines made by various cancer associations, including PDPI-IASTO, regarding NSCLC recommend that all advanced stages of NSCLC undergo target genetic testing, such as EGFR mutations. The incidence of EGFR mutations in Asian populations is quite high.Methods: This was a retrospective observational analytic study with a cross-sectional study design.Results: The most unmodifiable risk factors were age ≥45 years (81.4%), male sex (70.6%), location of lung cancer on the right (52.9%), cancer size of ≥5 cm (100%), M1a metastases (57.8%), and no family history of malignancy (97.1%). The smoking status (ex-smoker) (P=0.022; OR=4.3; 95% CI=1.24-15.57), sex (male) (P=0.007; OR=3.409; 95% CI=1.406-8.268), and metastatic status (M1a) (P=0.025; OR=0.203; 95% CI=0.05-0.821) were the dominant risk factors that affected the incidence of EGFR mutations in patients with lung adenocarcinoma at Arifin Achmad Hospital.Conclusion: Male, ex-smokers, and metastatic status (M1a) were the dominant risk factors for the incidence of EGFR mutations in lung adenocarcinoma patients at Arifin Achmad Hospital.

Abstract

Background: Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to macrovascular and microvascular complications in various organs. Organ fibrosis is one of the microvascular complications due to diabetes. Hyperglycemia triggers ROS formation thereby causing oxidative stress. Oxidative stress enhances pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic activities. The lungs have a lot of vascularization and connective tissue, making them susceptible to diabetes complications. Moringa is called 'The Miracle Tree' because it has many properties. Moringa leaves are the most studied part, for their efficacy as antioxidants. This study examines the effect of moringa leaf extract (MLE) in inhibiting lung fibrosis in diabetic Wistar rats.Methods: A total of 27 male Wistar rats were randomized into three groups, K0, K1 and P. Group K0 was given saline (ip) and saline (orally); K1 was given Streptozotocin (STZ) (ip) and saline (orally); P was given STZ (ip) and MLE (orally). MLE was administered daily at 1000 mg/Kg BW dose for four weeks. Lung fibrosis assessment was carried out using a modified Ashcroft scale.Results: Lung fibrosis assessment showed that the K1 group had the highest mean of lung fibrosis and K0 had the lowest mean of lung fibrosis. Kruskal-Wallis test showed that there was a significant difference in the data comparison between the three groups. The post-hoc test showed that there was a significant difference in the data comparison between groups. Comparison of the K0-K1 group data showed the smallest significance value and comparison of the K0-P group data showed the highest significance value. Conclusion: MLE can inhibit lung fibrosis in diabetic Wistar rats.

Abstract

Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a respiratory infectious disease caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Procalcitonin (PCT) levels will rise, especially in bacterial infection. PCT examination in CAP can help to confirm the diagnosis and anticipate complications. CAP is diagnosed by symptoms, vital signs, laboratory tests, and radiographic investigations. Inflammatory biomarkers are required for predicting causative microorganisms, guiding antibiotic therapy, and determining severity. The purpose of this study is to compare NLR, WBC, and TNF-α levels in CAP patients dependent on PCT level.Methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study involving 43 CAP patients admitted to Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Hospital and Moewardi Regional General Hospital Surakarta between February and March 2023. Patients were separated into two groups based on PCT levels: those with levels ≤0.12 ng/mL and >0.12 ng/mL. All patients provided a blood sample for NLR, WBC, TNF-α, and PCT testing. The independent t-test and Mann-Whitney tests were performed for statistical analysis of two unpaired groups, and the Chi-square or Fisher exact test was utilized for ordinal categorical data. If the value of P<0.05, the result is statistically significant.Results: NLR and TNF-α levels were higher in the PCT group >0.12 ng/mL and statistically significant with a value of P=0.001. WBC levels in the PCT group >0.12 ng/mL were higher, but the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.096).Conclusion: The NLR value, WBC, and TNF-α levels were found to be higher in the group with PCT >0.12 ng/mL.

Abstract

Background: The synergistic association between oral cavity disorders and airway disorders in smokers has long been recognized. Periodontal disease and airway obstruction are 20 times more likely in smokers. Smoking causes increased inflammatory cytokines in the oral mucosa; generally, airway obstruction has been associated with increased inflammatory markers in the airway mucosa. This study developed a prototype to visualize smokers' oral mucosa to identify potential airway obstruction disease.Methods: This study collected many types of oral mucosal lesions that are typically found in smokers, such as leukoplakia, nicotinic stomatitis, black hairy tongue, oral cancer, and smoker melanosis, from various literature and images of the mucosa of patients with a history of smoking who were treated at the hospital. The data is divided into a training, validation, and testing set and then using the PyTorch framework and the UltraLytics library.Results: This study created a prototype of an endoscope that can detect lesions on the oral mucosa-related airway obstruction disease. Sixty-three percent of the respondents who underwent prototype testing were between the ages of twenty-one and thirty. Of those who smoked, 86% had done so for five to ten years. Sixty percent of the respondents had no COPD diagnosis. The sensitivity of the prototype demonstrated a high rate of 84%. However, the specificity exhibited 57.14%.Conclusion: Endoscopic detection of the oral mucosa can be used for early screening of suspected obstructive airway disorders in smokers. This tool could enhance screening for smoking's effects on the mouth and prevent early obstructive airway diseases.

Abstract

Silicosis, an occupational lung disease, has significant mortality rates in Indonesia, as reported by Global Health Grove in 2013. The death rate for silicosis stands at 69.3%, with the typical age at death ranging from 40 to 44 years for men and approximately 80 years for women. The pathogenesis of silicosis begins when respirable crystalline silica (RCS) particles enter the airways. These RCS particles bypass the mucociliary defense mechanisms of the respiratory tract and reach the alveoli. Workers frequently exposed to silica are at high risk of developing silicosis, which significantly impacts morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis of silicosis can follow the seven-step principle for determining occupational diseases. Although silicosis is linked to serious conditions such as tuberculosis, autoimmune diseases, and lung cancer, no effective therapy exists. Treatment remains symptomatic, adjuvant, and supportive. To prevent occupational lung diseases, it is essential to involve the government in policy-making for industrial management and workers.

Abstract

Background: Thymoma is a neoplasm that arises from the thymus gland. Around one-third of the patients are asymptomatic. Five subtypes of thymoma differentiate from the cell’s morphology based on the World Health Organization (WHO). Type-A thymoma comprises oval or spindle epithelial cells.Case: We presented a 49-year-old woman with a persistent cough and shortness of breath when performing heavy tasks. Chest radiography showed opacity on the mediastinum. Chest computed tomography with contrast revealed a tumor in the anterior part of the mediastinum and pericardial effusion. The patient underwent an Ultrasonography (USG) guided transthoracic needle aspiration (TTNA) and the histopathology examination showed a type-A thymoma. The patient was referred to a cardiothoracic surgeon for further management.Discussion: Type-A thymoma has a good prognosis and is rarely associated with myasthenia gravis. It has a less malignant nature compared to type B2 thymoma. However, it still can cause respiratory problems through the mass effect of the tumor itself. Surgery is usually the treatment of choice. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can also be considered if complete resection is hard to achieve.Conclusion: Type-A thymoma has a less malignant nature and has a good prognosis. In this case, the tumor caused compression into the right lung resulting in the partial collapse of the right middle lobe and pericardial invasion were taken into consideration due to pericardial effusion.

Abstract

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide. Most of these deaths are related to cardiovascular disease. This is due to systemic inflammation that causes increased vascular stiffness and hypertension. These comorbidities lead to poor quality of life, low exercise tolerance, and an increased risk of hospitalization. This study aims to report the proportion of hypertension among stable COPD patients in the Indonesian population.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the National Respiratory Center Persahabatan Hospital between February and March 2023. Stable COPD patients admitted to the Asthma and COPD Polyclinic who met the criteria were enrolled. Clinical information, vital signs, spirometry results, and DLCO measurements were collected.Results: There were 84 subjects participating in this study. The result of this study shows a 60.7% proportion of hypertension in stable COPD patients. Hypertension has a significant correlation with pulmonary functional values (P=0.021), severity degree of clinical COPD (P=0.004), Brinkman index (P=0.008), and age (P=0.0001). However, hypertension association with COPD duration (P=0.505) and DLCO (P=0.122) were not significant.Conclusion: The hypertension proportion in stable COPD Indonesian patients is 60.7%. Hypertension shows a significant association with pulmonary function values, severity degree of clinical COPD, Brinkman index, and age.

Abstract

Background: Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB-DR) is a deadly disease caused by infectious agents. Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB-DR) rates in the world. The prevalence of tuberculosis cases in Depok City between 2019-2022 showed an increase in cases every year. This study aims to measure the level of adherence of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB-DR) patients to their treatment using the Eight-Item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) questionnaire.Methods: This study is an observational study using a cross-sectional study design, conducted from February 2024 to March 2024 at the University of Indonesia Hospital. Eighty-seven respondents participated in this study. Respondents completed the validated Indonesian version of the MMAS-8 questionnaire after signing informed consent forms.Results: The results of the study showed that 50.6% of respondents had low adherence levels, 47.1% had moderate adherence levels, and 2.3% had high adherence levels. The data was then statistically analyzed using the SPSS version 29 statistical package with Chi-Square analysis, which resulted in a significant correlation (P<0.05) between adherence levels and gender.Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between gender and respondent adherence. More than 50% of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB-DR) patients at the University of Indonesia Hospital still have low adherence levels to their treatment.
