Abstract

Introduction: The nutritional status of pregnant women has a significant impact on the fetus's health and development. Low birth weight can be caused by womb growth problems. Research in Nepal shows that babies with low birth weight have a higher risk of becoming stunted. West Sulawesi is the most populous province in Central Indonesia, with a population of 39.7%. In Mamuju District, West Sulawesi, the relationship between stunted babies and maternal nutritional status during pregnancy was investigated. Methods: Cross sectional analytic survey with a retrospective approach. Data processing using the chi square test. The population in this study was 20.039 people. Total sampling was used to collect nutritional status data of children under the age of five in West Sulawesi province from February to June 2020. In this study, 88 people were sampled, all of whom were mothers of stunted children aged 2 to 5 Years old and who had a KIA book during pregnancy. Results: The results of statistical tests showed that the p value of nutritional status with BMI and LILA 0.000 and the p value of HB levels 0.066. There was a link between pregnant women's nutritional status and LILA, but not between HB levels and stunting. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women based on BMI and LILA and the incidence of stunting in Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi Province.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting is a linear growth disorder caused by malnutrition in chronic nutrient intake and chronic recurrent infectious diseases as indicated by height z-score according to age. Infancy is a period that is very sensitive to the environment so more attention is needed especially the adequacy of nutrition. Obstetric complications are very influential on several determinant factors, one of these factors is a medical society or social risk. Family socioeconomic status such as family income, parental education, mother's knowledge about nutrition, and the number of family members can indirectly relate to stunting. Methods: A cross-sectional analytic with a retrospective approach. Processing data using regression tests. Result: The results of this Stunting study were obtained from nutritional status data on children under five in the province of West Sulawesi in January-June 2020 by taking samples using simple random sampling. The total number of samples in this study were 88 people taken from mothers who have Stunting children aged 2-5 years. Social risk is the condition of the mother during pregnancy including age, level of education, ethnicity, occupation, income, referral decision, cost considerations, distance traveled, referral mobilization, consideration of health insurance that is expected to be related to stunting. Conclusion: In this study, it was found that the most influential medicosocial determinants were referral mobilization and employment.

Abstract

Introduction: Soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) is common in areas with poor sanitation. In Indonesia, the prevalence of the disease is still high ranging from 16–72%, despite the elimination efforts that have been done. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of STH, nutritional status, and hemoglobin levels of elementary school-age children in of slum area in Makassar. Methods: This was an observational study with a cross-sectional approach. Subjects were 33 elementary school-age children in one of the slum areas in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Stool samples were collected and examined using the Kato-Katz method. Hemoglobin levels were examined with the Azidemet hemoglobin method using capillary blood samples. Assessment of nutritional status was carried out anthropometrically using weight for height, height for age, and body mass index (BMI) for age as indicators. Results: The prevalence of STH in this study was 27%, all of them had low nutritional status. As many as 15% and 45% of subjects were severely wasted and wasted, respectively, based on the weight for height indication, 61% were wasted based on the BMI for age indicator, and 12% were stunted based on the height for age indicator. Ten percent of the subjects had low hemoglobin levels, none of them had STH. Conclusion: The STH prevalence of school-age children in one of the slum areas in Makassar is still high. Subjects with STH also experienced low nutritional status.

Abstract

Background: Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is still periodically around developing countries including Indonesia. Early diagnosis and adequate management may decrease either morbidity or mortality of patients with DHF. Objective: We evaluate risk factors of death in pediatric DHF patients hospitalized in Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study by reviewing the medical records of children less than 18 years old hospitalized with DHF from January 2016 to December 2018. The diagnosis was based on WHO criteria and serologically positive anti-dengue Ig M or positive anti-dengue IgM and Ig G. Results: During the study period, 70 patients aged 1-17 years with the complete medical records enrolled in this study. The DHF severity consisted of 37 cases (52.9%) with shock (DSS) and 33 cases (41. 7%) without shock and most of them were admitted to the hospital on >3 days of fever (63 cases /90.,0%). Boys were predominantly (39/55.,7%) found than girls (31/44.,3%) and the majority of cases above 5 years (50/71,4%) with well-nourished patients in 46 cases (65.,7%). The hematocrit level of≥ 40 mg/dl, platelets ≤ 40.000/mm3, and leukocyte ≤ 4000 mm3/l were observed in 41 cases (5.,6%), 36 cases (51.,4%), and 48 cases (68.,6%); respectively. Death was observed in four girls (5.7%) (p=0,034/OR 1,148/ 95% CI 1,003 - 1,315) with DSS because of severe conditions on admission.

Abstract

Background: : Breast milk is the most ideal biological and physiological first food during the growth and development process due to the presence of protective and nutritional factors and also the needs of children according to their age and phase of growth and development. Methods: This study aims to determine differences in nutritional status based on BB/U and PB/U for children aged 6-24 months in Mattampa Bulu Village. This study used 47 samples which were measured for body weight and length then the mother filled out a questionnaire. Result: The results of the study using the Chi Square test showed that there was a significant difference between nutritional status based on body weight in children with exclusive and non-exclusive breastfeeding history with p < 0.05 (p = 0.011), but there was no difference in nutritional status based on PB/ U with p > 0.05 (p=0.913). Results: Based on the research, it may be concluded that children with exclusive breastfeeding have good nutritional status based on the indicators of BB/U and there is no difference in the incidence of stunting in children with a history of exclusive and non-exclusive breastfeeding Keywords: Exclusive Breastfeeding; Non-Exclusive Breastfeeding; Nutritional Status

Abstract

Introduction: Chlorogenic Acid (CGA) is an antifibrotic and antioxidant for fibrotic tissues. These double roles be able to inhibit or fibrotic tissues chains because of internal and external issues. For example, virus, bacteria or other pathogens and also by drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc. as external factor that affect quality of body tissues. Toll-Like Receptor-4 (TLR-4) as a marker fibrotic tissues. It is a key for researcher could be find out by expression performance. The aim of this study is to reveal the CGA as a candidate of antifibrotic & antioxidant in liver fibrosis induced by CCL4. Methods: This is pure experimental research with a simple experimental design or post-test only control group design. A total 29 mices of 2.5-month-old male Swiss mice with weigh 35-40 grams divided into 6 groups: 3 groups of controls (injected by natrium chloride, CGA, and CCL4) and 3 groups of treated (injected by CGA doses 42 mg/kg, 63 mg/kg or 84 mg/kg). The liver organ was used to examine the expression of TLR-4 by rtPCR. This research revealed that expression of TLR-4 lower than the CCL4 control group (respectively, p=0.042; p=0.005; p=0.006; and p=0.001). The higher dose of CGA showed greater ability as an anti-fibrotic through inhibiting the expression of TLR-4. Some research found the expression of TLR-4 has been decreased by treatment of Chlorogenic Acid (CGA). Conclusion: To sum up, CGA has double roles to repair liver fibrotic tissues. The greater doses of CGA, the stronger inhibition of TLR-4 expression.
