Abstract

INTRODUCTION: WHO predicts an increase in the number of people with diabetes in Indonesia from 8.4 million in 2000 to around 21.3 million in 2030. Another marker for measuring insulin resistance is the homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Bariatric surgery is the most effective therapy for patients both in terms of weight loss and improvement in obesity-related diseases such as Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM). OBJECTIVE: This study aims to prove the improvement of HOMA Beta values and Diameter of the islets of Langerhans in type 2 diabetes mellitus rats that underwent Sleeve Gastrectomy and Pancreatic Omentoplasty. METHODS: This study is an experimental post-test control group design study with 18 male Sprague-Dawley rats. Samples are divided into 1 control group and 2 treatment groups (Sleeve gastrectomy and Omentoplasty). Rats’ pancreas and glucose level were measured by using HOMA IR method and Hematoxylin eosin-paraffin block method. Data of islets Langerhans were measured using ANOVA, while HOMA Beta values were measured by Mann Whitney and Kruskall Wallis test. RESULTS: HOMA Beta values in treatment Group P1 (Sleeve gastrectomy) and Group P2 (Sleeve gastrectomy + omentoplasty) are statistically different compared to control group. Islets cells of Langerhans diameter in treatment groups 1 and 2 was not statistically different compared to control group. HOMA Beta Value and Langerhans diameter was correlated moderately. CONCLUSION: Sleeve Gastrectomy and Pancreatic Omentoplasty in type 2 diabetes mellitus rats improved the HOMA Beta values and the diameter of the islets of Langerhans.

Abstract

Latar Belakang : Enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) adalah salah satu tantangan bagi banyak ahli bedah di dunia. Meskipun terdapat perkembangan dalam perawatan medis dan tekhnik operasi, namun morbiditas dan mortalitas terkait ECF masih tinggi. Keberhasilan dalam tatalaksana ECF memerlukan perawatan yang komprehensif dan sumber daya yang mahal, dimana tidak terjangkau oleh sebagian masyarakat Indonesia. Fenitoin dan Vitamin C adalah obat yang murah dan telah menunjukan manfaat baik dalam penyembuhan luka. Tujuan : Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah pemberian fenitoin dan vitamin C akan meningkatkan kolagenisasi dan menurunkan diameter ECF pada tikus wistar. Kemudian untuk mengevaluasi apakah pemberian kombinasi fenitoin dan vitamin C memberikan hasil yang lebih baik dibandingkan pemberian tunggal fenitoin atau fitamin C Metode : Peneliti membuat caecostoma sebagai model ECF pada 24 ekor tikus. Tikus kemudian dibagi menjadi empat kelompok perlakuan dengan : perawatan NaCl,  Kombinasi fenitoin-vitamin C, Fenitoin saja dan Vitamin C saja. Pengamatan hasil dilakukan pada hari ke-7 dengan mengamati deposisi kolagen dan mengukur diameter ECF. Hasil : Penelitian ini menunjukan perbedaan kolagenisasi dan penurunan diameter ECF bermakna secara statistik (p<0.05) pada tiap kelompok perlakuan jika dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (5,521 + 2,552 %; 9,395 ± 0,582 mm). Penelitian ini juga mengungkapkan bahwa pemberian kombinasi fenitoin dengan vitamin C (28,110 ± 6,535 %; 5,742 ± 0,394 mm) memberikan hasil yang lebih baik (p<0.05) dibanding pemberian tunggal fenitoin (15,448 ± 5,184 %; 8,101 ± 0,822 mm) atau vitamin C (19,118 ± 4,190 %; 6,883 ± 0,744 mm). Kesimpulan : Kami menyimpulkan baik fenitoin maupun vitamin C memiliki efek baik dalam penyembuhan ECF. Pemberian kombinasi Fenitoin dan vitamin C terbukti lebih bermanfaat dibandingkan pemberian tunggal. Kata Kunci :  Enterocutaneous fistula, Fenitoin, Vitamin C, kolagen, Diameter fistula

Abstract

BACKGROUND : Gallstones are formed due to deposit or hypersaturation of one or more of the bile components, namely cholesterol, bilirubin, bile salts, calcium, protein, fatty acids, and phospholipids. BMI, gender, and age are the factors that can trigger the formation of gallstones. In Indonesia, cholelithiasis cases have received less attention because they are often asymptomatic, making it difficult to detect and often misdiagnosed, resulting in a lack of official publication about the incidence of gallstones in Indonesia. AIM : To determine the correlation between BMI, Gender, and Age with cholelitiasis in Dr. Kariadi Hospital. METHOD : This was an observational study using cross-sectional design. Data were taken from medical records of patients in Digestive Surgery Department Dr. Kariadi Hospital from January 2018 until March 2020. A total of 100 patients were selected as subjects (50 patients with cholethiasis and 50 patienst without cholelithiasis). Pearson Chi-Square correlation was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS : Pearson Chi-Square test of BMI (p = 0.001) and Age (p = 0.041) was statistically significant for cholelithiasis risk (p < 0.05). While Gender (p = 0.224) was not statistically significant for cholelithiasis risk. CONCLUSION : There wa a significant correlation between BMI and Age with Cholelithiasis and there was no significant correlation between Gender with Cholelithiasis. KEYWORDS : Body Mass Index (BMI), Gender, Age, Cholelithiasis.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Neuropsychiatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (NPSLE) is one of the clinical manifestations affecting the brain in SLE, which the most frequent condition was cognitive dysfunction (CD). CD has a negative impact on the quality of life of SLE patients and causes impaired social function and reduced work productivity. Previous studies regarding correlation between cognitive dysfunction with disease activity, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) showed various results. AIM: The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation of CD using MoCA- INA score with disease activity (SLEDAI-2K score), ESR and CRP in SLE patients. METHODS: A cross-sectional study design was applied in this research. The subjects of this research were SLE patients measured by MoCA-INA score, SLEDAI-2K score, ESR, and CRP. Spearman rank correlation test was applied in this study to assess the relationship of the variables. RESULT: The study subjects consisted of 53 women diagnosed with SLE with an average age of 34 years old. 49.1 % of the subjects had high school education background. There was a moderate significant correlation between MoCA-INA score and ESR (r= -0.408, p=0.002) and also to CRP (r= -0.314 p=0.022). There was no significant correlation of disease activity and MoCA-INA score (r = -0.086 p = 0.539). CONCLUSION: The low levels of ESR and CRP were associated with CD in SLE patients. KEYWORDS: cognitive dysfunction, c-reactive protein, disease activity, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, systemic lupus erythematosus.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Chronic rhinosinusitis is inflammation of the mucoperiosteum lining of the nose and paranasal sinuses for more than 12 weeks. Computed Tomography (CT scan) of the paranasal sinuses is the gold standard for diagnosing chronic rhinosinusitis. Nasal septal deviation and bullous concha are anatomical variation that often found in CT scan of chronic rhinosinusitis patients. The severity of chronic rhinosinusitis can be evaluated with Lund Mackay CT score. AIM: To analyse the correlation between bullous concha volume and type of nasal septum deviation with Lund-Mackay CT Score in chronic rhinosinusitis METHOD: This was an observational study with a cross sectional design. This study was conducted from March-May 2019. Subjects were CRS patients whom underwent paranasal sinuses CT scan in Dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang whom met the criteria. The inclusion criteria were chronic rhinosinusitis patients more than 17 years old with deviated nasal septum and conchae bullosa. RESULT:  There were 50 CRS patients, the age average is 18 – 67 years. The mean volume of the bullous concha was  0.534 cm3. The highest deviation of the nasal septum is to the right (53.2%) and the highest total Lund-Mackay CT Score was 4 (56%). The correlation between septal type and bullous concha volume with Lund-Mackay CT Score CONCLUSION: Lund Mackay CT score didn't correlate with  septal type and bullous concha volume.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION:  Platelet and lymphocyte are significant in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) pathogenesis. Platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a systemic biomarker which indicates thrombosis and inflammation. The diagnosis of AMI can be made by detecting elevated blood troponin I levels. The correlation between PLR and troponin I levels in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients has not been widely known. AIM                : The objective of this study is to determine the correlation between PLR and troponin I levels in STEMI patients. METHODS    : This study was a cross-sectional study which data were obtained from the medical records of patients with STEMI admitted to Dr. Kariadi General Hospital Semarang from 2019 to 2020. Serum Troponin I levels were measured with Enzyme-Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA) method in less than 24 hours from symptoms onset. Complete blood counts were performed immediately on hospital admission. Correlations between variables were obtained using Spearman's test. RESULTS      : A total of 28 STEMI patients were included, 82.1% were male, mean age was 55.81 ± 2.13 years old. Mean symptoms onset was 7.52 ± 0.81 hours prior to admission. Mean PLR and troponin I levels were 233.32 ± 25.54 and 14.44 ± 3.16 μg/l, respectively. A moderately significant correlation was detected between troponin I levels and PLR in STEMI patients (r=0.333; p=0.042). Symptoms onset in STEMI patients had significant correlation to troponin I levels (r=0.596; p=0.001). CONCLUSION : A moderate positive correlation between PLR and troponin I levels is observed within 24 hours from symptoms onset in STEMI patients.
