Abstract

The problem of stunting in Indonesia is a problem that has become a national concern. Stunting is caused by a lack of macro and micro nutrients. Vitamin D is one of the micronutrients that is important for growth in pediatric patients.Objectives of the studyo determine and examine the relationship between vitamin D and the immune system and prevention of stunting in pediatric patientsMethods: Literature searches were obtained through reference sources from Google Scholar, PubMed, Proquest, EBSCOhost. Inclusion criteria for the literature review were original articles, published in Indonesian and English, and receiving vitamin D therapy. A review of the literature highlights the crucial role of vitamin D in bone metabolism, growth, and immune system regulation, particularly in children. These functions contribute to the prevention of stunting. During pregnancy, vitamin D is essential for immune modulation in the fetus-mother interaction, making it a key regulatory factor. Its non-classical roles include acting as a strong immunomodulator by enhancing antibacterial defenses and regulating T-lymphocytes to reduce inflammation and promote immune tolerance. In the decidua, vitamin D supports innate immunity by enhancing infection response while preventing excessive immune-related inflammation. Current research has explored its potential in reducing the risk of infectious diseases like tuberculosis and in modulating autoimmune conditions. Vitamin D influences immune function beyond its direct role in the primary innate response. Early prevention of stunting requires sufficient intake of both macronutrients and micronutrients. Micronutrients, particularly vitamin D, play a vital role in bone metabolism and contribute to strengthening the body's defense mechanisms, helping to reduce the risk of infectious diseases in children.

Abstract

Prostate cancer is the second most prevalent and fourth largest cause of death for men globally. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, prostate cancer ranks and is the fourth leading cause of death. Molecular studies continue to be conducted to understand the molecular heterogeneity, both genetic and epigenetic, that affects the progression of prostate cancer, one of which is the role of microRNA. This study aims to analyze the expression profile of microRNA-21 associated with the development and aggressiveness of prostate cancer. Comprehensive search into three databases; PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Science Direct was performed by authors. The study that best met the inclusion criteria was chosen from among duplicates. The QUADAS-2 (Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies) tool was used to assess the risk of bias before the relevant data were retrieved for analysis. There were eleven studies that included a variety of sample sources, sample size and methods. Although a number of the studies had unclear standard reporting, the research overall quality was acceptable. For the results, Prostate cancer samples showed a significantly higher expression level of miR-21 than controls in ten of the studies, and was linked to cancer aggressiveness. In one study, the expression of miR-21 did not significantly increase, despite the use of extracellular vesicle isolation samples.

Abstract

Neonatal sepsis is one of the most common causes of neonatal death in the first month of life. Neonatal sepsis often shows atypical clinical features include temperature instability, lethargy, skin changes, feeding problems, and many others. Isolation of bacteria from the culture is the gold standard for diagnosing sepsis, but this approach is frequently time-consuming and even in cases of negative blood cultures, sepsis cannot be conclusively ruled out, posing a major challenge in its diagnosis and management. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are essential to improve the prognosis of neonatal sepsis. Aim: The aim of this study is to discuss how infection markers can aid in the early identification of neonatal sepsis and what are the best infection markers to predict neonatal sepsis mortality. Method: This study assessed the diagnostic accuracies of infection marker used in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Included studies were retrieved by searching three major databases (Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Science Direct) using MeSH words and relevant references, and reviewed based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The article discusses potential advancements and future prospects for biomarkers. An excellent marker can guide antibiotic administration and duration if sepsis is confirmed, reducing unnecessary use. The marker should have high sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy.

Abstract

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is widely used as a flavor enhancer, but excessive consumption has been linked to neurotoxicity. Poor dietary intake affects neurotransmitter balance, oxidative stress levels, and long-term neuronal health. Objective: To evaluate the effects of excessive MSG consumption on brain function and structure using animal models. Method: A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate (2014–2024). From 1,692 initially identified articles, 8 were selected using the PICO method, focusing on MSG exposure, neurotoxicity, and structural or functional brain changes in animal models. Results: Studies indicate that MSG exposure contributes to neurotransmitter imbalances, increased oxidative stress, and neuronal degeneration, leading to cognitive impairment and behavioral alterations. Additionally, elevated tau phosphorylation and neuroinflammation were observed, potentially increasing the risk of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. The route of administration (oral vs. intraperitoneal) and duration of exposure influenced the severity of effects. Conclusion: Excessive MSG consumption negatively affects brain function and structure through mechanisms such as excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. Further research is needed to standardize dosage thresholds, explore protective interventions, and assess long-term effects in mammalian models.

Abstract

The measurement of spiritual care competence is a crucial aspect of healthcare, particularly in nursing and mental health settings, where holistic care is emphasized to achieve well-being for patients, especially those with terminal conditions. However, determining the appropriate instrument to measure spiritual care competence in nurses is not an easy task. This study aims to identify the most suitable instruments for measuring spiritual care competence in nurses in Indonesia. The method used in this study is a literature review. The keywords used to search for relevant journals are "Nurse" AND "Competence" AND "Spiritual Care." The researcher utilized the Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and ProQuest databases. The journals included in the review are limited to those published in the last five years over the period from 2020 to 2024 and written in English. Initially, 2,301 journal articles were identified; following a screening and elimination process, 12 articles were selected as suitable for inclusion in this research. This study identified 2,301 journals, which were subsequently filtered for duplicates, irrelevant content, and interventions, resulting in 12 relevant journals. The review found that the instruments used to measure nurses' competence in spiritual care included the Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS), the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Assessment Scale (SSCAS), the Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS), and the Spiritual Care-Giving Scale (SCGS). This review indicates that the variation in the use of instruments to measure nurses' competence in providing spiritual care is due to differences in respondent characteristics, as well as variations in beliefs and cultures.

Abstract

Hermetia illucens (Black Soldier Fly/BSF) larvae are one of the animals utilised as a decomposer of organic waste and a source of protein-rich animal feed. Its metabolites, especially alkaloids, have various pharmacological and antibacterial activities. This study evaluated the potential of BSF larval water fraction extract (FABSF) as an antibacterial agent against acne-causing Staphylococcus aureus, as well as predicting skin permeability and irritation effects. Methods included secondary metabolite screening, antibacterial test (disc method), and microbial reduction measurement by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. In silico tests were used to predict skin permeability and potential irritation by analysing descriptively. Screening results showed FABSF was positive for alkaloids (Dragendorff and Wagner tests), flavonoids, and saponins, but no polyphenols or terpenoids were detected. The disc method test showed FABSF (40%, 80%, 100%) did not form a zone of inhibition. However, absorbance measurements showed a decrease in microbial counts by 85.47%, 86.89%, and 90.79% at each concentration. In silico assays identified compounds such as Butoctamide, N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)dodecanamide, and thane; (3Z,6Z)-5-imino-N,N,3-trimethyl-8-[5-[(4-methyl-1-bicyclo[4. 1. 1]octanyl)methyl]-2,3,3a,4,6,6a-hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-c]pyrrole-1-yl]nona-1,3,6,8-tetraen-4-amine suitable for topical preparations with good skin permeability and low risk of irritation.
