Abstract

Post mortem organ weight is one of indicator that serves as supporting evidence in determining the cause of death, because if there is a difference between the post mortem organ weight with normal organ weight indicates the occurrence of pathological conditions that may be related to the cause of death. The objective of this study was to determine post mortem organ weight in autopsy cases at Bhayangkara Pekanbaru Polda Riau Hospital in 2017-2018. This research is a retrospective descriptive study using secondary data. Data were obtained from autopsy data in the forensic section of Bhayangkara Pekanbaru Polda Riau Hospital in 2017-2018. Data were analyzed by using univariate analysis carried out on each variable of the research results. The results of this study were obtained from twenty one autopsy cases with a mean value of organ weight: the brain (1334.29 grams), liver (1130.90 grams), right lung (370.48 grams), left lung (311.24 grams) gram), heart (275.33 grams), left kidney (114.52 grams), right kidney (114.00 grams), and spleen (113.43 grams). Organs in men are heavier than women, except the liver. Organ weight has decreased in old age. People with short bodies tend to have lighter organ weights than people with tall bodies. The conclusion of this study is the average value of post mortem organ weight in this study is different from the weight value of organs found in forensic textbooks.

Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the important causes of infertility, metabolic syndrome. Complications of PCOS are a serious health hazard. The relevance of the study of morphological changes in the ovaries in rats is justified by the need to improve the treatment of PCOS. The experiment consisted in the fact that rats from the experimental group received testosterone for 7 days and were in constant artificial daylight for 60 days. As a result of histological examination of the ovaries in this group, multiple cysts, foci of fibrosis were found. Vaginal smears in rats from the experimental and control groups were collected and compared. The extracted ovaries of rats of the experimental and control groups were compared, the differences in colour according to Van Gieson X 100, haematoxylin-eosin X 40, haematoxylin-eosin X 100, B-G X 100 were analysed. Studies indicated oestrous cycle disturbance, hormonal changes in rats with experimental polycystic. The work can serve as material for further studies aimed at identifying fast and easily accessible methods for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome predictors.

Abstract

Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a collection of symptoms due to cardiac blood flow disorders consisting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with increased ST segment (STEMI), AMI without increased ST segment (NSTEMI) and unstable angina pectoris (UA). Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an enzyme that plays a role in the destabilization and rupture of plaque that rises earlier within 2 hours after AMI attack so it can be used as an early marker of ACS without depending on evidence of myocardial necrosis. So, the purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between MPO levels and ACS events. Methods: This study is using quantitative method. Research sample was 40 patients serum with the main complaint of chest pain that fulfilled the inclusion criteria who came to the emergency unit of Dr.Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya. The blood samples were examined for MPO with MPO kit from Quanticine (R & D system) using ELISA method. The diagnostic value obtained from the calculation with the 2x2 table. Results: Patients with chest pain were 27 persons (67.5%), while non-ACS patients were 13 persons (32.5%). There were significant differences in MPO levels between the STA (STEMI, NSTEMI, UA) groups of 986.48 ng/ml and non-ACS 381.08 ng/ml (p = 0.002). Diagnostic sensitivity was 88.88%, diagnostic specificity 69.23%, negative predictive value 75% and positive predictive value 85.71%. The correlation coefficient between MPO and ACS content is r = 0.45 with p = 0.003. Conclusion: There was a correlation between MPO levels and the incidence of ACS. The higher the MPO level the higher the incidence of ACS.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of statins and LPS antibodies administration combined with E. coli intraperitoneal injection toward proinflammatory mediators (TNF-?, hs-CRP, PCT, and MDA) urea, BUN, and creatinine) and liver function (SGPT, SGOT, and total bilirubin) in sepsis rats. This study used 30 male white rats (Rattus novergicus strain Wistar) divided into 6 groups induced by E. coli bacteria combined with statins, LPS antibody (Ab-LPS), and a combination of statins+Ab-LPS. Examination of proinflammatory mediators (TNF-?, hs-CRP, PCT, and MDA) was carried out by the ELISA method through the examination of biochemical markers namely renal function (urea, BUN, and creatinine) and liver function (SGPT, SGOT, and total bilirubin) were analyzed by using the autoanalyzer. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using the T-test. The result shows that E. coli+statins gave significant changes on the MDA level at 0th hour administration and TNF-? and hs-CRP at 3rd hour administration. The E. coli+Ab-LPS treatment showed significant changes at the 0th hour administration for MDA, creatinine, and total bilirubin and at the 3rd hour administration for MDA. The E. coli+statins+Ab-LPS treatment showed significant changes in MDA, creatinine, and total bilirubin at 0th hour administration and on creatinine and total bilirubin at 3rd hour administration.
