Abstract

Introduction: Malaria is one of the infectious diseases found in tropical countries and sub-tropical countries. In 2016 there were an estimated 445,000 people died to malaria. Alternative medicine is needed, such as natural based ingredient. Morinda citrifolia or noni plant is a medicinal plant found in all parts of Indonesia which has many benefits, such as antibacterial, analgesic, anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory. The aims of this study were to determine the antimalarial activity of ethanol extract of noni leaves and its effect on splenomegaly and hepatomegaly.Methods: Extract of noni leaves was prepared by maceration using ethanol solvent. In vivo experiments were conducted using Plasmodium berghei infected BALB/c mice treated with the doses of 100, 10, 1 mg/kg body weight(BW) orally of ethanolic extract of noni leaves. Then, the percentage of parasitemia was calculated from day 1 to day 4 after treatment and at the end of the test, mice were sacrificed then spleen and liver were collected. Results: The highest parasite growth was found in the group treated with noni leaves ethanol extract at a dose of 1 mg/kg WB and vice versa. Probit analysis resulted in ED50 was 0.882 mg/kg WB. Spearmen test showed there was no correlation between doses and the size of splenomegaly with p=0,2 and between doses and the size of hepatomegaly with p=0,6.Conclusion: Ethanol extract of noni leaves possessed antimalaria activity and there was no correlation between doses of extract and t he splenomegaly and hepatomegaly.

Abstract

In December 2019, an outbreak in the city of Wuhan, Hubei China occurred and was named COVID- 19 by the World Health Organization and declared as a pandemic on January 30, 2020. The etiologic agent of acute respiratory disease is the novel corona virus 2019 (2019-nCoV) or the extreme acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). During many dental operations, aerosols are produced and these aerosol methods, which are major problems for dentists, have become the main area of concern in dentistry. Dentists are at greatest risk since they are located close to the oropharynx. This study summarizes the effect of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on dental care, administration, and emergency dental treatment service. It also identifies COVID-19 and explains about six commandments for dental practitioners during the treatment process to be practiced during the pandemic.

Abstract

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance is becoming a problem in public health. Zoonotic food-borne bacteria is infectious agent that can be transferred from animal to human through the food-producing animal we consume. Nowadays, antibiotic used for human and animal is not only to cure infection but also to aim animal’s growth promotion. It is known as non therapeutic antimicrobial agent (NTA) leading to antibiotic resistance. The third generation cephalosporins, cefotaxime, and also cefoxitin are included as important antibiotic for human. This study aims to identify the presence of cefotaxime-resistant Escherichia coli and cefoxitin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from chicken meat of both traditional and modern market in Surabaya.Methods: This is descriptive post test only experimental research. We used 8 samples of chicken meat from 4 different market using purposive sampling technique. We cultured Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus from the chicken meat. Sensitivity test was done using Kirby-bauer disk-diffusion method.Results: All chicken meat sample bought from traditional market in Surabaya are contaminated by cefotaxime-sensitive Escherichia coli (n=4/4) while chicken meat sample bought from modern market are not contaminated by Escherichia coli (n=0/4). All chicken meat sample bought from traditional (n=4/4) are also contaminated by cefoxitin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus. Half of chicken meat sample bought from modern market (n=2/4) are contaminated by cefoxitin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, while the other half (n=2/4) are contaminated by cefoxitin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.Conclusion: Antibiotic resistance is found and all chicken meat samples have been highly contaminated with bacteria therefore food-processing should be done correctly.

Abstract

Introduction: Condyloma acuminata that is also known as genital warts are one of the most common sexually transmitted that caused by infection of Human papillomavirus (HPV). Persistent infection of Low Risk (LR) or High risk (HR) HPV is a risk factor for progress into benign or malignant cancer. The objective is to analyze distribution of genotype LR-HPV and HR-HPV at condyloma acuminata in anogenital region. Methods: A cross sectional study using were 36 lesions from men and women of condyloma acuminata patients. All subject signed the informed consent and ethic obtained from our institution, number 382/Panke.KKE/V/2016. The specimen was used to histopathological examination and to identified 40 genotypes of HPV using a reverse line blot assay.Results: The All patients were diagnosed as condyloma acuminata, some with focus dysplasia and koilocytosis. All patients were positive for HPV, including LR-HPV were HPV 6, 11, 42, 54, 61, 81,87,89 and HR-HPV were HPV 18, 26, 45, 51, 52, 66, 67, 68B, 69, 82. The single infection of LR-HPV was 44.4%, multiple infection LR/LR-HPV was 13,9% and the multiple infection of LR/HR-HPV was 41.7%. The LR-HPV infected 70,6% and HR-HPV infected 29,4%.  Conclusion: LR-HPV is the major infection of condyloma acuminata, in single infection or multiple infection with HR-HPV. The most common infections were HPV 11, followed by HPV 6, HPV 18, HPV 51, and HPV 82. The determination of genotype of HPV can be used to predict the malignant transformation.

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the third highest leading cause of early death amongst other non-communicable diseases characterized by irreversible limitations of airflow. Current reliable classification relies on forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) measured on spirometry. In order to provide more effective and individualized management, new markers are needed. Accumulating studies has shown the role of miRNA in the pathogenesis of COPD and the progression of the disease. This review aims to provide overview of the diagnostic capabilities of miRNA and identify gaps of knowledge for further studies. Methods: A review based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA) was conducted with the database from Pubmed, Science Direct, and Proquest using the key word ("mirna" or "microrna") AND ("copd" or "chronic obstructive pulmonary disease") and diagnostic. Inclusion criteria includes studies that reported diagnostic accuracy of miRNA in patients within the last 10 years. Results: A total of nine studies has reported diagnostic accuracies of miRNA in distinguishing COPD and normal, COPD and AECOPD, and other subtypes of COPD Conclusion: Retrospective diagnostic analyses of miRNAs have shown several promising AUC and need to be followed up with reliable prospective designs. Further diagnostics studies, in particular those with clinical values, need to be conducted.

Abstract

Introduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) usually accompanied by one of the symptoms (nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea) and one of associated symptoms (facial pain and/or hyposmia/anosmia). In addition, most of CRS sufferers have poor sleep quality. Thus, we aim to determine the relationship between the severity of CRS and sleep quality in adult patients.Methods: This study was cross-sectional method study. Consecutive sampling technique with estimate a proportion in finite population formula was used. The variables studied were the CRS severity based on visual analogue scale (VAS), and subjects’ sleep quality based on the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). The data collection was carried out using a questionnaire and analyzed using chi-square test and continued with fisher’s exact test.Results: Of the 24 study subjects, 45.8% were male and 54.2% female. 83.3% had a nasal obstruction, 66.7% had rhinorrhea, 54.2% had hyposmia/anosmia, and 66.7% had facial pain. The severity of subject was mild, moderate and severe by 41,67%, 29,17%, and 41,67% respectively. 87.5% had poor sleep quality. There was no significant correlation between the severity of CRS and sleep quality (p=1,00).Conclusion: Although there was no correlation between CRS severity and sleep quality in adult patients, but CRS patients in general had poor sleep.Further study using more subjects, apply objective assessments, and include other more specific will help describe the correlation in population.

Abstract

Introduction: As a tropical country, Indonesia has the potential to influence the characteristics of infectious diseases. The purpose of this study was to see how the pattern of pneumonia on various weather components such as rainfall, humidity, and temperature.Methods: This study was carried by retrospective screening in the infectious ward in one of the tertiary referral hospitals.Results: A total of 876 cases of pneumonia from eight treatment rooms were included in the study. The highest pneumonia cases occurred in February with 239 (27.2%) cases followed in April and May with 169 (19.2%) and 159 (18.2%) cases respectively. After microbiological examination, bacterial growth was found in 191 cases. The highest number of bacteria was found in February with 62 (32%), followed by May with 33 (17.2%) and April with 31 (16.2%) samples. Most of the bacterial grown were gram-negative (94.3%), dominated by Klebsiella pneumoniae (35%), followed by Acinetobacter baumanii 17.2%  and Pseudomonas aeruginosa  12%. On the examination of antibiotic sensitivity, it was found that amikacin has a consistently high sensitivity (90%) for pneumonia caused by most bacterial causes (Acinetobacter baumanii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli).Conclusion: The study did not show any remarkable bacterial patterns based on weather components such as rainfall, humidity, and temperature during the rainy season. However, increasing the surveillance period will provide a better insight into the bacterial pattern and can compare it in the rainy and dry seasons.

Abstract

Introduction: Congenital cataract is turbidity occurs in eye lens that present at birth or immediately after. We aim to find out visual acuity after congenital surgery between children under 2 years old and 2-17 years old after following up 3, 6, 12 months.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Data were gathered from medical record of congenital cataract aged ≤2 years and >2-17 years including age of surgery, frequency of eyes, sex, laterality, and visual acuity of patients with best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). All data analyzed using Mann-Whitney test.Results: 41 children (67 affected eyes) in which 45 eyes that were operated at aged ≤2 years and 22 eyes were operated at aged >2-17 years. There was average difference of visual acuity between age group of ≤2 years and >2-17 years while following-up 3 months (1.60 ± 0.34 logMAR, 1.23 ± 0.67 logMAR, p = 0,003). Whereas in follow up 6 months (1.23 ± 0.47 logMAR, 1.15 ± 0.68 logMAR, p = 0,242) and 12 months (0.94 ± 0.47 logMAR, 0.96 ± 0.44 logMAR, p = 0,840), there were no difference significant average of visual acuity.Conclusion: Visual acuity after following-up 3 and 6 months in age group of >2-17 years were better than age group of ≤2 years, whereas after following-up 12 months in age group ≤2 years, it was obtained that visual acuity was better than age group of >2-17 years.
