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: 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.

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

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: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) once became a major pandemic in the history of human health. Patients in severe to critical conditions, especially with comorbidities, are more likely to have complications such as ARDS, cytokine storm, higher mortality rates, and require more effective treatments. Emodin is a candidate regimen that has the potential benefit for COVID-19.Method: This literature review was synthesized with literature searches on journal databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, EMBASE, and the Google Scholar search engine. As a result, three main articles and 36 supporting articles were used to synthesize this literature review.Results: The pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection was similar to SARS-CoV infection, as demonstrated by Hoffmann et al, namely through the interaction of viral spike (S) protein with ACE2 receptors in the human body, so the inhibition of this interaction would be one of the therapeutic targets. Ho et al proved that emodin can inhibit the binding of the SARS-CoV S protein to ACE2 in vitro. The direct inhibition of S protein may also support the ACE2 cardioprotective function in patients with cardiovascular comorbidities. Emodin is also superior because it has various other benefits such as anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activity. Based on the research of Dong et al, emodin can be given orally but in combination with inhibitors of glucuronidation, metabolism can increase the bioavailability of this drug.Conclusion: Emodin has the potential to be developed for the effective therapy of COVID-19.

Abstract

Background: The impact of smoking is still a huge problem in the world. The use of cigarettes is one of the biggest causes of death that can be prevented. One of the harmful substances of smoking is carbon monoxide (CO). Unfortunately, research comparing CO levels in white and Kretek cigarette smokers among college students in Indonesia has not been conducted. This study aims to determine the relationship of expiratory CO levels in male students who smoke white or Kretek cigarettes at a university in Depok using a CO analyzer and questionnaire.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study design with 108 samples divided into two groups of white cigarette smokers and Kretek cigarette smokers with consecutive sampling techniques. Subjects took the expiratory CO test using a CO analyzer and filled out questionnaires related to smoking and other factors.Results: The study found expiratory CO results in white cigarette smokers at 13.9±8.36 ppm and Kretek cigarette at 13.18±8.79 ppm with no significant relation statistically. The factor that influences the subject's CO expiration is the Brinkman Index (P<0.001) with a weak correlation result and factors that influence the choice of cigarette type, namely pocket money (P=0.023) and age (P=0.015).Conclusion: There was no statistically significant relationship between the average of white cigarette smokers or Kretek cigarette smokers with expiratory CO levels in subjects. This might be due to a more significant effect on the number of cigarettes consumed. Seeing the trend in Indonesia that Kretek cigarettes are relatively cheaper than white cigarettes, money allowance is one of the factors that determine the choice of white or Kretek cigarettes for college students in Depok.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 reinfection has been found, although the data is not clear yet. Pandemic conditions bring about limited facilities and infrastructure, so biomarkers are an option. Research on biomarkers and the use of ACE inhibitor drugs in COVID-19 patients has not been widely conducted in Indonesia.Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study that used medical record data of confirmed COVID-19 patients treated at dr. Moewardi General Hospital for the period of January to March 2022. Surviving patients were observed for reinfections until November 2022.Results: This study involved 524 medical records of confirmed COVID-19 patients. After exclusion and inclusion criteria, 517 medical records were obtained. D-Dimer cut-off values of ≥2435 were significantly related to severity (OR=2.05; 95% CI=1.38-3.06; P≤0.001) and mortality (OR=2.89; 95% CI=1.95-4.27; P≤0.001) of COVID-19 patients. Hs-CRP levels ≥4.59 were significantly associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients (OR=1.82; 95% CI=1.23-2.69; P=0.003). The use of ACE inhibitors (OR=0.55; 95% CI=0.33-0.89; P=0.015) was a protective factor from mortality but increased the risk of reinfection (OR=3.11; 95% CI=1.16-8.36; P=0.034). Conclusion: D-Dimer and Hs-CRP biomarkers could be considered as predictor biomarkers for the severity and mortality of COVID-19 patients. Although the use of ACE inhibitors increased the risk of reinfection, it reduced the risk of mortality due to COVID-19.

Abstract

Lung cancer is a major health concern in Indonesia due to its increasing prevalence, late-stage diagnosis, younger population, and high mortality. Addressing this issue requires nationwide implementation of comprehensive lung cancer control, which includes risk reduction and prevention strategies, focusing on tobacco control and air pollution mitigation. Screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) and early detection in symptomatic patients, along with TB screening programs and all non-communicable diseases, is strongly recommended to enhance early case findings, treatment effectiveness, and overall patient outcomes. A multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach is important to ensure accurate diagnosis and comprehensive care. Moreover, the integration of palliative care at the early stages of advanced lung cancer is vital, focusing on symptom management and enhancing the quality of life for patients. While national guidelines are available for the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, significant disparities in healthcare access remain across Indonesia. Thus, it is essential to improve universal health coverage and referral systems to guarantee equal access to lung cancer care for patients at all levels through advocacy and ease of access.

Abstract

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading factor in morbidity and mortality worldwide associated with excessive chronic inflammatory response. Guided imagery is a relaxation technique to achieve the desired positive outcome. This study analyzed the effectiveness of guided imagery in stable COPD patients on the value of % FEV1, absolute neutrophils, anxiety, and the standard of living in those with steady COPD.Methods: Experimental analytic research with quasi-experimental, pretest and post-test design. Subjects were outpatient stable COPD patients at the pulmonary polyclinic of UNS Surakarta Hospital in January-June 2022. Subjects were divided into guided imagery intervention groups for 4 weeks and controls. Subjects were then examined for %FEV1 by spirometry, absolute neutrophils, Taylor Minnesota Anxiety Scale (TMAS) questionnaire, and St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) quality of life questionnaire, and re-evaluated after four weeks.Results: There were 32 research subjects. The findings demonstrated that the therapy group did not endure a significant increase in the mean value of %FEV1 (P=0.617). Meanwhile, the mean value of %FEV1 significantly decreased in the control group (P=0.025), given that the control group's value of % FEV1 fell. In contrast, the treatment group's increased, even if the difference was not statistically significant, the use of guided imagery could effectively halt the decline in %FEV1 value. Compared to the control group (P=0.014), the TMAS anxiety score was lower in the treatment group (P≤0.001). The overall SGRQ score (quality of life) considerably decreased in the treatment group (P≤0.001) while significantly increasing in the control group (P=0.014). Absolute neutrophils were found in both the treatment group and the control group (P=0.642; P=0.224, respectively). Absolute neutrophil blood levels in the treatment and control groups did not differ significantly.Conclusion: Guided imagery is effective on %FEV1 values, anxiety, and quality of life in stable COPD patients but not against absolute neutrophils.

Abstract

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development involves a complex pathway of host and environmental factors. Besides cigarette smoking, previous studies showed exposure to air pollution, such as particulate matter sized 2.5 μm or less (PM2.5), might also have an important role in COPD development because it might lead to airway remodeling and chronic lung inflammation. However, the cause-and-effect relationship between PM2.5 and COPD in non-smoking patients is still unclear.Methods: Literature searches were performed in five online medical databases (PubMed, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, and Cochrane Library) and hand-searching in Google Scholar. Filtering literature with the inclusion and exclusion criteria resulted in three relevant articles (1 case-control and 2 cohort studies). Critical appraisal was conducted using the Center of Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) worksheet from the University of Oxford for etiologic studies.Results: All three articles were considered valid. The prospective cohort was decided unimportant because of the non-significant adjusted hazard ratio (HR 1.23; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.50-3.06). The case-control and retrospective studies had important results with adjusted odds ratio of 1.29 (95% CI=1.01-1.65) and 1.69 (95% CI=1.11-2.58), respectively. The relatively low number needed to harm (NNH) of 10-23 indicated that PM2.5 exposure was a meaningful factor for the risk of developing COPD in non-smoker adults. Both articles were considered applicable to our case. Conclusion: Non-smoking adults with exposure to PM2.5, compared to those without exposure, are at higher risk of developing COPD.
