Abstract

Background: COVID-19 is a disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) that has become a pandemic. It became apparent that COVID-19 transmitting from person to person. The clinical manifestations and characteristics of COVID-19 encompassing from asymptomatic infection until severe pneumonia and death. This study aimed to describe and compare the characteristics between COVID-19 suspected patients and confirmed patients at an early pandemic in Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used in this study. Data were collected from March to April 2020 using the electronic health record reporting database, initial laboratory tests, and RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 results. There were 58 subjects: 43 COVID-19 confirmed patients and 15 COVID-19 suspected patients. Results: Male was found predominantly in COVID-19 confirmed patients than female. The mean age of confirmed patients was 49,6 years old. Nearly half of the confirmed patients had comorbidities namely hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Fever and cough were the most common presenting symptoms, and they were also found in suspected patients. Confirmed patients tended to have lymphopenia and neutrophilia. Pulmonary infiltrate was the most common feature in both confirmed and suspected patients. Conclusion: There were no significant differences found between COVID-19 confirmed and suspected cases regarding demographic characteristics, comorbidities, presenting symptoms, physical examination results, laboratory tests, and chest x-ray results. COVID-19 confirmed patients had a history of exposure to COVID-19 confirmed patients.

Abstract

Background: Lung cancer is widely known has strong association with cardiovascular diseases, including coronary heart disease. Smoking as the main risk factor for lung cancer and coronary artery disease is strongly hypothesized as reason behind this association. Our study aimed to predict ability of coronary artery calcification based on chest CT in prevalence of coronary heart disease in patients with lung cancer. Method: This study had cross-sectional design with consecutive sampling method. Subjects in this study were adults (>18 years old) with lung cancer based on histopathological examination. Result: Forty subjects with lung cancer who undergone chest CT was selected as samples in this study. After calculated with other factors, patients with lung cancer who also had coronary artery calcification lesions in Chest CT had 73 times higher risk to develop coronary heart disease (OR=72.63%;95% CI=3.81-1386.21;P=0.004). In addition, lung cancer subjects who are current and ex-smoker had 46 times higher risk to develop coronary heart disease (OR=45.75;95% Cl=1.14-1987.62;P=0.043). Based on those findings, coronary artery calcification has 86.7% sensitivity, 80.0% specificity, 72.2% PPV and 90.9% NPV for predicting coronary heart disease in lung cancer patients. Conclusion: Coronary artery calcification based on chest CT can be utilized as coronary heart disease predictor in lung cancer patients, especially who are current and ex-smoker. Extensive studies, is needed for strengthen this finding in near future.

Abstract

Background: Workers in the ceramics industry are often exposed to silica content which is unwittingly inhaled and deposited in the lungs. Macrophages will release Interleukin 8 (IL-8), a chemoattractant that causes neutrophil recruitment to the alveoli and releases proteolytic enzymes that damage the lung parenchyma and cause a decrease in lung function. This study aimed to determine whether dust level correlate with IL-8 serum in ceramic industry workers. Method: This research is an analytic study with a cross-sectional design conducted in March–June 2019 in the X Ceramic Industry in Mabar, Medan. Personal Dust Sampler was used to measure dust level of the study subjects at work sites. Lung function was measured by spirometry. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Results: A total of 35 male workers were divided into 3 working sections, 11 (31.4%) in the pre-compression section, 13 (37.1%) in the compression section and 11 (31.4%) in the sintering section. Dust levels at each working section were 24.8, 29.2, and 6.11, respectively. The lung function examination showed restrictive impairment in 21 subjects (60%). Statistical analysis showed that the higher the level of dust in the workplace, the lower the value of Forced Expiratory Volume 1 (FEV1) and Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) values, although this correlation was not statistically significant (r = -0.03 and -0.22 respectively; p> 0.05). Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between workplace dust levels and lung function in ceramic workers.

Abstract

Background: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease manifested by airway inflammation and wheezing, dyspnea, breathlessness and cough which are varied in intensity and time accompanied with variably restricted expiratory airflow. Asthma patients experienced decreased lung function that occured during asthma attack accompanied by increased levels of fractional-exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) caused by the pathophysiological process of asthma and the resulting ventilation problems. The study aimed to reveal the depiction of lung function using spirometry dan FeNO level among asthmatic outpatients. Methods: This was a cross sectional study involving 13 uncontrolled-moderate persistent asthmatic outpatients at Asthma Clinic of Persahabatan General Hospital during October 2019 – March2020. The involved respondents had to undergo the spirometry test and the measurement of FeNO level. Results: The uncontrolled-moderate persistent asthmatic patients were dominated by female with mean age of 48.38+12.494 years old. The mean predicted FEV1 was 70.38+20.230% of whom 61.54% patients showed moderate obstruction. The mean FEV1/FVC ratio was 72.85+12.681% of whom 53.85% patients showed obstruction inFEV1/FVC ratio. The mean FeNO level was 29.62+9.152 ppb of whom 76.92% patients had FeNO level ranging 25-50 ppb. Conclusion: The moderate persistent asthmatic patients showed a decreased lung function with reduction of FEV1, obstructive FEV1/FVC ratio as well as increasing FeNO level.

Abstract

Backgrounds: There is a subclinical activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis system in patient with lung cancer. Alterations in hemostatic system are seen frequently in lung cancer correlated with the prognosis of disease. In oncology practice, the use of tumor markers may be helpful in the diagnosis and pathologic classification of tumors. Tumor marker may reflect both, stage of the disease and prognosis. Aim of this research is to asses the correlation of this parameters in patient non-small cell lung cancer with chemotherapy. Methods: This research is an analytic observational with a cross sectional design. The research was conducted at RSUP Haji Adam Malik, Medan from January 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016. Blood test examination was performed to measure the hemostatic parameter (PT, INR, APTT, TT, D-dimer) and serum tumor marker (CEA, Cifra21-1, NSE) of 41 non-small cell lung cancer patients before first cycle of chemotherapy and after fourth or sixth cycles of chemotherapy. Results: The study comprised 41 patients of non-small cell lung cancer (31 adenocarcinoma, 10 squamous cell carcinoma), There were 35 men (85,4%) and 3 women (14,6%) with mean age of 56,7 years. For all patients, we give a platinum based therapy as first line chemotherapy (gemsitabine and carboplatin regimen in 27 patients, paclitaxel and carboplatin in 10 patients, vinorelbine and carboplatin in 4 patients). There is no significant difference of hemostatic parameter and serum tumors marker values before chemotherapy againts after chemotherapy values. And there is a weak negative correlation of hemostatic parameter againts serum tumor marker on non-small cell lung cancer patients with chemotherapy. Conclusion: There is a weak negative correlation of hemostatic parameter againts serum tumor marker in non-small cell lung cancer patients with chemotherapy. (J Respir Indo 2018; 38(1): 33-38)

Abstract

Backgrounds: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and smoking related disease such as chronic obstructive of lung disease (COPD) are major health problem around the world, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. Chronic airway obstruction as impact of TB may results during or after completion of TB treatment. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is a cytokine which contributes to fibro genesis in post-TB treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the TGF-β in post-TB patients with and without smoking history. Methods: This was an analytic study with cross sectional design, conducted from October 2016 to February 2017 in RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan. All subjects had recovered from TB, confirmed by clinical, radiological and bacteriological examination. Smoking history of the subjects was assessed using Brinkman Index. The TGF-β measurement was performed using venous blood sample processed through Enzyme Link Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) by means of TGF-β kit. Results: This study included post-pulmonary TB patients, of which 26 subjects were smokers and 25 were non-smokers, consisted of 31 males and 20 females. The mean TGF-β level of all samples was 6690.5±4913.4 mg/ml. The mean TGF-β level in smokers was 6621.5±4856.7 mg/ml, while in non-smokers 6762.2±5071 mg/ml. Statistical analysis using Mann-Whitney test revealed that there were no significant differences of TGF-β level in smokers and non-smokers among post-pulmonary TB patients (P=0.618). Conclusions: There were no significant differences of TGF-β level in smokers and non-smokers among post-pulmonary TB patients. (J Respir Indo. 2020; 40(3): 139-43)

Abstract

Background: Industrial development continues to increase every year. CV X is a company in the manufacture of cauldrons and prickles which produce aluminum dust contaminants. Workers who work more than eight hours and lack of air exchange can affect lung function. This study aims to analyze the effect of aluminum dust exposure on lung function disorders in workers at CV X. Methods: This type of research was quantitative study with cross-sectional design. Sampling using simple random sampling technique according to inclusion and exclusion criteria with 40 respondents. Data analysis by using univariate and bivariate analysis with Chi-Square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests. Results: The results showed that there was no effect of aluminum dust exposure on lung function disorders (p = 0.166). However, there are 65% of workers who have lung function disorders, consists of 42.5% obstructive workers, 22.5% restrictive workers, and none of which have impaired combined lung function, while 35% of workers is normal. The majority of aluminum dust levels in the work environment are above the Threshold Value (5 mg/m3) of 72.5%. Conclusion: It is known that workers who experience obstruction problems of 51.7% are workers that exposed to aluminum dust above TLV (5 mg/m3) and there are 24.1% of workers experiencing restriction disorders exposed to aluminum dust above TLV. To prevent workers from experiencing lung function disorders due to exposure to aluminum dust, it is necessary to control efforts in the form of additional ventilation to reduce dust levels in the work environment.

Abstract

Background: Animal models are essential for the development and improvement of novel and effective methods for diagnostic and treatment of human diseases. Cynomolgus monkeys have been used as animal model in asthma studies wherein they exhibited different responses to allergen exposure in the airway; some were low responders while others were high responder. CCL2 is a potent chemotactic factor for monocytes and the gene expression was high in animal model of asthma. The aim of this study was to evaluate CCL2 and CCR2 expression between the low and high responders. Methods: Realtime PCR technique was used to evaluate CCL2 and CCR2 gene expression in bronchoalveolar lavage samples. The subject of this study was asthmatic cynomolgus monkeys, consisted of 4 low responders and 4 high responders. This study was held in Biotechnology Laboratory of Primate Research Center LPPM IPB on October 2016- January 2017. Results: CCL2 and CCR2 expression in low responders were higher than those in high responders at 24hours post airway challenge. Conclusion: CCL2 may potentially be developed as target for therapy or a genetic marker for asthma responsiveness in individuals. (J Respir Indo 2018; 38(2): 115-22)
