Abstract

Objectives: This study evaluated the food and nutrient intake of Filipino breastfeeding mothers and identified the top food sources of nutrients in their diet. Methodology: This study utilized the pooled data of the Food and Nutrition Research Institute’s 2018-2019 Expanded National Nutrition Survey (ENNS), covering a total of 8,491 breastfeeding mothers from the 79 provinces and highly urbanized cities (HUCs) in the Philippines. The ENNS employed a two-stage sampling design to cover the study participants. Data on dietary intake was collected through a two-day non-consecutive 24-hour food. Generated data were analyzed using STATA version 15.0. A PC-Software for Intake Distribution Estimation (PC-SIDE) was used in the estimation of inadequate intakes.

Abstract

Background: Labels of packaged foods are used as guidelines for buying packaged food products. School students are a group at high risk to get illness through ingested food. Most of the snacks they consume contain flavorings and some chemicals which are certainly not good for their health. Objective: To determine the relation between knowledge and behavior of reading the packaged food label composition on JHS students in Kupang. Methods: This is an observational analytical study with a cross sectional design conducted at two schools located in Kupang City. 350 subjects were used in this study and divided into Group A consisting of 175 Public JHS students and Group B consisting of 175 Giovanni JHS students, using a google form questionnaire. The respondents were chosen by cluster random sampling technique. This study was analyzed bivariately using the Spearman correlation test. Result: A total of 172 (98.3%) students of Public and Giovanni JHS have very good knowledge about reading the packaged food label composition. A total of 169 (96.5%) students of Public JHS have very good behavior of reading the packaged food label composition and a total of 99 (56.5%) students of Giovanni JHS have good behavior of reading the packaged food label composition. Conclusion: There is a significant correlation (p = 0.004) between knowledge and behavior of reading the packaged food label composition on Public JHS students and there is also a significant correlation (p = 0.046) between knowledge and behavior of reading the packaged food label composition on Giovanni JHS students in Kupang.

Abstract

Background: Obesity is a chronic condition defined as excess body fat which is diagnosed based on body mass index, abdominal circumference, and is associated with an increased risk of various diseases. Conservative management is often hard to comply with, unsuccessfully, and expensive, while acupuncture with its variety of modalities can be an option. Case: A therapy with polydioxanone thread embedding on acupuncture points along with other acupuncture modalities were performed in three cases of obese patients according to their etiology and conditions. Results: Based on the three cases of obese patients with PDO thread embedding acupuncture alone or combined with cupping, plum blossom and moxibustion modalities are beneficial in decreasing abdominal circumference. The effect after 2 months follow up respectively using abdominal circumference measurement 5 cm above the umbilicus -2 cm ( from 110 to 99cm);- 3 cm (from 90 to 87 cm); -8 cm (from 88 to 80 cm), umbilicus to umbilicus -6 cm (from 107 to 101 cm); 10 cm (from 103 to 93 cm); 7 cm (from 93 to 86 cm), 5 cm below umbilicus -1 cm (from 106 to 105 cm); -5 cm (from 107.5 to 102.5 cm); -6 cm (from 104 to 98 cm). No serious side effects occurred in the three cases. Conclusion: PDO thread embedding can be beneficial in treating obese patients. However, these results require further research.

Abstract

Background : Stature is required to calculate body mass index and determine the energy needs of patients in nutritional medical therapy. Difficulty was found to obtain stature data in patients who are unable to stand. Therefore, there are some height estimation formula to predict the actual height using knee height. This study aimed to validate the Chumlea formula on outpatient clinic of Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Indonesia. Methods : This cross-sectional study used 90 respondents selected by consecutive sampling. Actual height, knee height, age and gender data were collected. Estimated height using the three of Chumlea formula. Pearson correlation was used to see the correlation between actual height and estimated height. Paired t-test were used to determine the difference significance. Results : The average age of the subjects was 45±10 years old with actual height 157±10 cm, and knee height 48.8±3.5 cm. A strong positive correlation was found between actual height with all estimated height on male (p=0.000; r > 0.8) and female subjects (p=0.000; r > 0.6). However, comparison between actual height and estimated height showed no significant differences only in Chumlea L1 formula (p=0.087) and Chumlea L3 formula (p=0.824) on the male subjects. Conclusions : Chumlea L1 and Chumlea L3 formula was a valid fomulation for calculating the estimated body height in adult male patients. There was no valid Chumlea’s formulation to estimate body height in female patients.

Abstract

Introduction: Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with itchy eczematous lesions, mostly found in children, and may affect a patient’s quality of life. Individuals with AD were found to have dysbiosis of gut microbial, which may alter the immunologic tolerance of mucosa, causing inflammation and affecting skin conditions. Dietary fiber or prebiotics consumption may have a role in reversing dysbiosis and may affect AD. In this literature review, the authors would like to further explore the role of dietary fiber or prebiotics in the prevention and severity of AD/ Methods: Relevant literature research was conducted in several sources: Pubmed, EBSCOHOST, Proquest, and Google Scholar, using keywords “atopic dermatitis, atopic eczema, dietary fiber, prebiotic, nutrition.” Studies published within the last 10 years were included. Discussions: Dietary fiber, particularly soluble fibers and those which can be fermented by gut bacteria (including prebiotics), plays a role in maintaining homeostasis of normal gut flora by producing SCFA, which increases the gut barrier, has anti-inflammatory properties, balances Th1/Th2 ratio, increases lymphocytes in gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT) system, and increases secretion of intestinal IgA. The role of dietary fiber/prebiotics in the prevention or decreasing rate of AD is still a matter of debate. Several studies showed no effect or correlation of prebiotic supplementation in decreasing the AD rate in pregnant women or babies with a high risk of atopy. On the other hand, several studies on prebiotic supplementation for babies and children have shown the benefits of prebiotic supplementation in preventing allergies (AD, rhinoconjunctivitis, and urticaria). Conclusion: The role of dietary fiber/prebiotics in preventing or treating AD is still a matter of debate. Different study results make it difficult to conclude the clinical effect of prebiotics in allergy prevention, particularly AD. This may be caused by the heterogeneous studies and the limited number of studies on humans. Further studies (RCT) involving large-scale respondents are needed to define the effects of prebiotic supplementation in the prevention or alternative therapy for AD.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2D) is the most common type of diabetes. There is an ongoing debate as to whether nutrient quality or quantity is mainly responsible for the effects on hyperglycaemic control of patients with T2D. Monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) has a metabolic effect in reducing the risk factor for metabolic syndrome to prevent and control hyperglycaemia in patients with T2D and is recommended by professional organizations. Methods: Literature searching was conducted by advanced searching in Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and ProQuest database using MeSH Terms combined with Title/Abstract. After removing duplicates, the literature were screened based on the eligibility criteria. Critical appraisal and level of evidence of the selected literature were determined based on Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine. Results: Two selected literature were relevant to answer our clinical question, both literature are systematic review/meta-analysis studies. The first literature is a study by Fumiaki et al. (2016), while the second is by Frank Qian et al. (2016). All literature provided evidence that a diet high in MUFA could improve glucose-insulin homeostasis among patients with T2D. These effects were marked by lower fasting blood glucose and haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and insulin level in the enriched MUFA diet group compared to PUFA. Conclusion: Nutrient quality is mainly responsible for the effects on glycaemic control profile in patients with T2D, with a high MUFA diet consistent with favourable effects to improve fasting glucose and HbA1c.

Abstract

Background : New antidepressant strategies are needed, due to unsatisfactory clinical efficacy and many side effects of commonly used drugs. Recent studies linking the pathophysiology of depression with glutamatergic imbalance. There is hyperactivity of the main excitatory system (glutamatergic) to its inhibition (GABAergic). N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors as a part of glutamatergic synapses are potential targets for intervention. Antagonist administration for glutamatergic systems, such as zinc, can exhibit antidepressant effects. Objective : To observe the effect of zinc administration on NMDA receptors in depressed subjects Methods : In this paper, we provide a literature review. The method to achieve the objective consists of using literature exploration, which was conducted from February to June 2022 by searching the relevant studies from several databases. Results : Study trials both in human and animal subjects reveal that depression is associated with a lower concentration of zinc. Comparison between the lowest zinc intake with the highest zinc intake had significantly lower incidence of developing depression. Dietary zinc deficiency induces depression along with upregulation of the NMDA receptor complexes. Zinc’s antidepressant effects might be mediated through its action reducing NMDA channel-opening frequency. Conclusions : The presence of zinc may downregulate the glutamate response in binding to NMDA receptors. Because of numerous studies about the connection between zinc and depression, it seems that zinc may have the potency to develop new antidepressants. Since the capability of zinc administration to reduce depressive symptoms, it is expected leading to increased medication adherence, lower costs and better outcomes.

Abstract

Poor linear growth, currently defined as inadequate height to growth standards defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), is still a major problem in low-middle-income countries (LMICs) including Indonesia. The national survey results from 36.8% in 2007 to 30.8% in 2018 showed small differences in under-five years old children with height-for-age-Z-score less than -2 standard deviation (HAZ < -2 SD) from the growth reference or stunted.1 Though the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey results showed an improvement in the stunting rate to 21.6% in 2022, the data revealed large regional disparities, ranging from 8% in Bali to 35.3% in East Nusa Tenggara.2 It is known that for children with stunted growth in early life, the risk of impaired health, mortality, and delayed neurocognitive and motor development is heightened. Moreover, tend to have a long-term effect of decreased performance in education, lower productivity and socioeconomics, and a higher risk of chronic diseases in adulthood.1,3 Stunting has many associated factors, including socioeconomic inequality, geographic differences, maternal factors, such as education, age, nutrition status, and infection; short birth intervals, low birth weight, and preterm birth, food insecurity, practices of feeding, nutrient deficiencies, such as protein, iron, zinc, calcium, and vitamins, childhood morbidity, and environmental. Low birth weight and length, unimproved sanitation, and low protein intake are the leading risk factors in developing countries, especially in the horticulture area.4,5

Abstract

The interaction of micronutrients and macronutrients has been shown to have a significant impact on children's cognitive development. Furthermore, proper nutrition helps a child's immune system avoid infection and disease, which can impair nutrient absorption and lead to deficiency. Microbiotas in the gut play critical roles in body physiology, including nutrient absorption, infection resistance and immune system development. Furthermore, it is known that the gut microbiota influences immune cell maturation. Finally, these three factors are thought to influence neurogenesis and cognitive development. A virtual meeting was held with five invited experts to gain a better understanding of the relationship between nutritional factors, the immune system and cognitive development.

Abstract

Vital to the health of the host is maintaining a delicate balance in the immune system by eliminating harmful pathogens while preserving self-tolerance to prevent autoimmunity. By regulating immune homeostasis, the gut microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract provides vital health benefits to its host. It has been demonstrated conclusively that dysbiosis of these gut microbial communities can cause immune dysregulation and autoimmunity. We attempt to examine the relationship between the gut microbiota and the regulation of the innate and adaptive immune homeostasis, which can influence the development of certain disease. This literature review of recently published research and newly discovered scientific information is intended to increase awareness of the importance of maintaining a microbiota balance in the gut for immune health of the host.
