Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in females globally and one of the main causes of cancer death. There are several markers of cancer-related inflammation to help predict the relationship between pathologic characteristics of breast cancer. The research objective was to analyze the correlation between PLR and NLR with associated tumor size in breast cancer. This was a retrospective study with a cross-sectional design. This study used secondary data from the medical records of breast cancer patients who met the inclusion criteria at Siti Khodijah Hospital, Sidoarjo from January 2021 to March 2023. The sample size was 54 subjects, patients with breast cancer confirmed by pathology anatomy. The exclusion criteria were patients with infection, autoimmune disease, and hematology disorder. All the subjects were female. The mean age at the time of breast cancer diagnosis was 50.18±10.23 years, range of 27-80 years old. Most of the patients were over 50 years as much as 28 (51.85 %), while there were 26 (48.14%) > 50 years. The PLR range was  15.45-600.0, the NLR range was  0.58-9.98, tumor size range was 0.5-10.0 cm. Correlation between PLR and NLR with tumor size in breast cancer (p=0.351 and p=0.339). Correlation analysis showed that PLR and NLR had no significant correlation with tumor size ( r= -0.129, p=0.351 and r= -0.133, p=0.339). In conclusion, there is no significant correlation between PLR and NLR with histopathology of tumor size in patients with breast cancer.

Abstract

To prove the correlation between VCAM-1 level and absolute monocyte count among Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) patients. The study was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. The research subjects were 74 CAD patients who had been proven by coronary angiography and were treated in the Cardiology Department of Central General Hospital by Dr. Kariadi Semarang. This study was conducted from March to July 2021. VCAM-1 levels were examined with the ELISA method, using BioTek ELX800 Microplate reader (USA), and absolute monocyte count was analyzed with flow cytometry method, using Hematology Analyzer SYSMEX XN-1000 (Japan). Statistical analysis was done by Pearson's correlation coefficient test, in which p<0.05 was considered significant. The mean VCAM-1 level was (361.78±128.01) ng/mL. The mean absolute monocyte count was (0.48±0.17) ×103/µL. The result of the Pearson correlation test showed a moderate positive correlation between VCAM-1 levels and absolute monocyte count in CAD patients (p=0.00; r=0.46). There was a moderate positive correlation between VCAM-1 level and absolute monocyte count in CAD patients. A positive correlation exists between VCAM-1 level and absolute monocyte count among CAD patients.

Abstract

Geobacillus sp. is recognized for its potential to produce bacteriocins, antibacterial substances that hold promise in addressing gastrointestinal illnesses. This study aimed to optimize the medium and pH conditions for producing antibacterial substances by Geobacillus kaustophilus Tm6T2 (a). The research employed a descriptive and experimental methodology. Growth studies were conducted in Mueller Hinton Broth with CaCl2 and MgSO4 and Nutrient Broth with KCl and MgCl2 across 6, 7, and 8 pH values. Subsequently, antibacterial substance production was achieved at the late logarithmic phase and was assessed against the gastrointestinal pathogen Salmonella typhimurium. Interestingly, findings indicated that antibacterial substance production might not solely correlate with bacterial cell count. Despite a lower bacterial cell count, the highest inhibition zone against S.typhimurium was observed at 13.11 mm in NB salt at pH 8. Analytical results show that the variation of pH and both mediums significantly affects the presence of the inhibition zone (p < 0.10). This finding suggests the complexity of factors influencing antibacterial activity. Overall, the optimum condition for antibacterial production in G.kaustophilus Tm6T2(a) was identified at pH 8 using NB salt. These findings have potential implications for developing antibacterial solutions targeting gastrointestinal pathogens.

Abstract

Degenerative diseases arise when age increases due to the weakening of the body's physiological condition. The purpose of this study was to measure glucose, uric acid, and cholesterol levels in residents of Segunung Village to improve lifestyles and quality of life. As many as 110 residents of Segunung Village were used as subjects in this cross-sectional study. Glucose, uric acid, and cholesterol levels were measured using Point of Care Testing (POCT). A cut-off value of <200 was used to define high cholesterol levels. Only cholesterol levels showed an increase when compared with reference values, while glucose and uric acid levels were normal. Interestingly glucose was significantly correlated with age (r=0.309, p=0.001). The approach using POCT describes the overall condition of Segunung villagers and can be used as a basis for glucose, uric acid, and cholesterol screening tests.

Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most common causes of severe hospital-acquired infection. ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae causes a major problem for clinical management and epidemiological study. The other factor identified was OmpK35 which is often poorly or not expressed and it can be altered by factors such as point mutations. This study aimed to determine the susceptibility pattern, and the genotyping and to investigate the mutations in OmpK35 of Klebsiella.pneumoniae. This is a cross-sectional study using susceptibility pattern data from the ninety isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae from the patients admitted to Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek General Hospital, Lampung. The Genotype of ESBL genes and OmpK35 gene were determined by polymerase chain reaction and sequencing for identification of the mutation. The susceptibility rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae belonged to Ampicillin was 0%. The susceptibility rate belonged to Amikacin (96.6%), Meropenem (94.4%), and Ertapenem (94.4%).  From 90 isolates, the genotype blaSHV was found in 86.7%, and most of the isolates had OmpK35 genes (91.2%). Among the thirty isolates, 20% harbored mutations in the OmpK35 protein with substitution mutations. This finding indicated a high prevalence of antibiotic resistance, a high prevalence rate of ESBL gene production, and a high frequency of porin mutations among Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates.

Abstract

Antibiotic susceptibility is significant in patient management and needs close monitoring. This study aims to evaluate the Carbapenem susceptibility profiles and correlation between Carbapenem consumption and susceptibility of the most frequent isolates from blood, sputum, and urine in 2020–2022 from the non-intensive inpatients. The proportion of males and females was 54% and 46%, with the median age group of males and females both being 65-74 years. Higher Meropenem susceptibility was shown in urine isolates of female patients. Lower susceptibility to Meropenem was shown in 2021 compared to 2020 and 2022. Lower susceptibility was shown in isolates from sputum compared to blood and urine. The three-year susceptibility of Carbapenem was decreased compared to 3 years before. The susceptibility of E.coli and S.aureus to Meropenem showed relatively high proportions 95% and 88%, compared to K.pneumoniae (46%), A.baumanii (30%), P.aeruginosa (29%), and others.  The susceptibility of isolates from non-intensive-care inpatients in 2020-2022 showed lower rates compared to the hospital-wide and the previous three years' rates. Meropenem consumption was highest compared to Imipenem with inhibitor and Doripenem. The susceptibility of Gram-negative rods to Meropenem showed higher proportions (58.9%) compared to Gram-positive cocci (26.2%). Carbapenem susceptibility was decreased, along with increased Carbapenem consumption but no significant statistical correlation between the susceptibility rates and the monthly defined daily dose.

Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19), the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, was declared a pandemic in early 2020. With the emergence of different strains of SARS-CoV-2 mutations, efforts to reduce infection rates and help vulnerable populations remain in question. Genomic surveillance has been carried out on COVID-19 cases to detect new variants and monitor trends in circulating variants. Genomic surveillance is important because it can detect virus characteristics, estimate the prevalence of specific variants in the community, assess the extent to which medication can combat the variants, and analyze virus transmission in outbreaks. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 genomic variants in West Java and to inform policymakers in developing strategies to reduce the transmission rate of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. According to the inclusion criteria, variant sequence data were acquired from Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID) for the period January 1st, 2021-December 31st, 2022 and evaluated cross-sectional descriptively. This data were obtained from West Java. The majority of the samples came from Bandung Regency, where the Delta (AY), BA1 and BA5 variations predominated. The dynamic of the SARS-CoV-2 cases was influenced by government policies such as imposition of the restriction on community activities and public holiday. Because SARS-CoV-2 is subject to mutations, the various varieties must still be monitored to determine the influence on society. In the future, surveillance for any microorganisms with the potential to cause epidemics is urgently needed in order to mitigate the spread of the disease.

Abstract

Infection of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) lowers the body's immune system, especially CD4+ cells, making it more susceptible to opportunistic infections. Approximately 10-40% of People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) fail to achieve normal levels of CD4+ T cells despite continued virological suppression, a condition called Immunological Non-Responders (INR). Previous studies have shown that INR is considered a predictor of disease progression in people with HIV receiving antiretroviral (ARV)s through various mechanisms of suppression of the immune system that increases morbidity and mortality. Papua is an HIV epidemic area with a prevalence of 2.3%. This research is a cohort study conducted at Abepura Hospital from June 2019 to February 2023, which aims to identify the factors that influence the occurrence of INR in PLHIV receiving ARV therapy. There were 123 research subjects consisting of 55 people (44.7%) in the INR group and 68 people (55.3%) in the non-INR group. The results showed that the incidence of INR was higher in males than females (p=0.019), INR was significantly associated with increasing age (p=0.013), and CD4 count was low at the start of ARVs (p=0.002). There was a significant difference in CD4 counts between INR and non-INR (p<0.001). Oral candidiasis as a common opportunistic infection is more common in people with INR than in non-INR. (p=0.037). This study suggested that it is necessary to carry out a CD4 examination at the start of therapy and monitoring every 6 months to detect possible INR to prevent an increased risk of AIDS and non-AIDS, which increases mortality.

Abstract

The detection of latent tuberculosis (TB) infection to prevent progression to active TB disease is an essential part of the WHO's end-TB strategy. Diagnosis of latent TB infection is based on detecting immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens. Interferon Gamma Release Assays (IGRA) are superior to Tuberculin Skin Tests (TST) for detecting latent infection; however, the performance of IGRA is limited in resource-limited settings. This study evaluated the sensitivity, specificity, and agreement of the lateral-flow nanoparticle fluorescence assay (QIAreach QFT) compared with the ELISA method (QFT-Plus) as a reference test. This cross-sectional study was carried out in the laboratory department of Siloam Hospitals in Lippo Village, Banten, Indonesia, between January and June 2023. A total of 60 samples consisting of both males and females of all age groups were tested for QFT-Plus and were involved in the study using consecutive samples. Sensitivity, specificity, Negative Predictive Value (NPV), and Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of QIAreach QFT were 100% (95% CI 86.28-100), 70.96% (95% CI 51.96-85.78), 100%, (95% CI 84.56-100) and 73.53% (95% CI 55.64-87.12), respectively. The agreement calculation using Cohen's kappa coefficient, excluding indeterminate data, showed a kappa value 0.68 (95% CI 0.507-0.864). QIAreach QFT, with its superiority, could support the expansion of IGRA testing, particularly in remote areas, thereby helping the eradication attempt of TB infection.

Abstract

COVID-19 antigen is an alternative test for detecting SARS-CoV-2 infection. Viral load represented by the Cycle Threshold (CT) in the Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (rRT-PCR) affects the diagnostic performance of the test. Higher CT values result in reduced sensitivity of the SARS-CoV-2 antigen. The main objective of this study was to determine the highest CT value in rRT-PCR that still yielded reactive results in the COVID-19 antigen test. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Fever Outpatient Clinic in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from July 2020 to June 2021. Two hundred and thirty-five naso-oropharyngeal swabs were taken from patients with confirmed and suspected COVID-19 diagnoses. About 24.7% of subjects were tested positive. The median highest CT value giving reactive COVID-19 antigen results was 28.22 (13.33-39.16), while the median CT value for non-reactive antigen results was 34.45 (26.08-39.65). At a CT value < 40, the COVID-19 antigen test demonstrated 63.8% sensitivity, 99.4% specificity, 89.3% Negative Predictive Value (NPV), and 97.4% Positive Predictive Value (PPV). At the CT value < 25, the test showed 92.3% sensitivity, 99.4% specificity, 99.4% NPV, 92.3% PPV, 163.4 LR+, and 0.1 LR-. The identified cut-off point for the CT value was 29.82, with a sensitivity of 64.9% and specificity of 81%. In conclusion, COVID-19 antigen is a valuable test for screening patients with symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Understanding the influence of cycle threshold can enhance the interpretation and reliability of the antigen test.
