Abstract

Leprosy is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. This study aimed to know the risk factorsof leprosy events in Bombana Regency in 2020. This study was an observational analytic study with casecontrol study design. The sample of this study was all population of Bombana Regency in 2020. The casesample was the population diagnosed in the Leprosy Reporting Information System information reportedby the Bombana Regency Health Office during 2017 to 2019, while the control sample was undiagnosedleprosy with matching based on age and gender. The total sample was 122 people (61 cases and 61 controls).Control sampling with systematic random sampling. Data analysed using by the STATA computer programwith odds ratio test and multiple logistic regression. The results showed that BCG immunization (OR =5.74, 95% CI = 1.95-16.89) and income (OR = 3.35, 95% CI = 1.34-8.38) were risk factors for occurrenceleprosy, while population migration variables, education level, and humidity are not significant risk factorsfor leprosy. The study concluded that BCG immunization and income are risk factors for leprosy. Thevariable most at risk for leprosy is BCG immunization.

Abstract

Introduction: Evidence-based performance is a problem-solving approach to provide more effectivedecision-making, avoid repetitive care, facilitate providingservices, and empower employees. Continuoustraining enables nurses to provide valuable services to patients. The aim of this study was to determinethe effects of education on the understanding and acceptanceof evidence-based performance by nursesworkingin the infectious and internal wards of Imam Reza Hospital of Kermanshah (Iran) in 2019.Materials and Methods: In this experimentalstudy,participants were selected byavailable sampling andrandomly divided into two groups (n=50 per group). The data was collected using 3 questionnaires: astandard questionnaire for understanding a standard evidence-based performance acceptance questionnaire(Robin and Parish, 2010), and a demographic questionnaire addressing age, gender, work experience,monthly income, education, ward, employment status, and acquaintance with evidence-based performance.Data analysis was performed in SPSS 19 software.Results: The mean score of the understanding significantly increased from 78.24 at pre-education to88.04at post-education in the intervention group while there was no significant alternation in the mean score ofcontrol group comparing pre- and post-education (85.38 vs. ,respectively). The mean score of acceptance alsosignificantly increased in the intervention group comparingbefore (37.66) with after (37.66) education. Inthe control group, the mean acceptance scores were 35.02 and 34.98before and aftereducation, respectively.Conclusion: Education can improve the level of understanding and acceptance of evidence-basedperformance by nurses; therefore, it is recommended to includecontinuous educational programs in hospitalsand encourage all nurses to attend these courses.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explain the effect of a low-carbohydrate-high-protein (LCHP) diet onreducing TNF-? levels. The study was carried out with true experimental post-test only control design, using3-month-old females rats (Rattus norvegicus) with a bodyweight of 200-300 g, which were divided intothree groups: Negative control (K-) (rats without treatment were fed with broiler standard feed), Positivecontrol (K+) (PCOS-IR model rats were fed broiler standard feed), and Treatment (P) (PCOS-IR modelmice were fed with LCHP diet). Serum taken from the rats’ heart on day 49 was examined for TNF-? levelsusing Bioassay Germany ELISA kit. Statistical analysis was carried out using ANOVA and Post Hoc tests.ANOVA analysis of TNF-? resulted in a p value of 0.0017, indicating significant difference of TNF-? levelswhen LCHP diet was applied, followed by Post Hoc test found that the TNF-? level of the treatment group(p = 0.006) is lower than the positive control group (p = 0.038). One of the roles of a low-carbohydrate dietin the pathogenesis of PCOS-IR is to provide an inflammatory repair effect by increasing insulin sensitivity,improving insulin levels, and stimulating an increase in steroidogenesis synthesis. Increased breakdown offatty acids is inhibited, so that it does not cause a build-up of fatty acids and does not induce an increasein proinflammatory cytokines against gonadotropins, increasing FSH secretion and effecting folliculardevelopment.

Abstract

P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) is the activity of the p38MAPK pathway in muscle cellscausing mitogen-activated disorders that are responsive to stress stimuli, such as cytokines, and involvedin cell differentiation, and apoptosis. Characteristic of p38MAPK expression contributes to metabolicsignal on the reduction and excessive production of ovarian androgen found among women with endocrineand metabolic disorders. We suspect that p38MAPK expression changes in ovarian granulosa cells. Thisresearch aims to observe changes in p38MAPK expression among PCOS-RI mice fed by a low-protein,high-carbohydrate (RKTP) diet. Testosterone propionate was given to induce the PCOS-IR model, 0.1ml injection of for 28 days intramuscularly on 18 mice. Each mouse was examined for vaginal swabsand ovarian histology. At the end of treatment, the p38MAPK expression score kept increasing and had asignificant negative effect with ANOVA test p value = 0.149 (p >0.05). The results of the treatment groupposttest showed p38MAPK expression, and there was a decrease compared to the control group. Theseoccurred because the RKTP diet has not been able to stimulate RE stress through the NFK? pathway, sothe NFK? pathway increased AGEs receptors on granulosa cells that played a role in oocyte maturation asa response in the follicular development process on PCOS-IR model. Moreover, in this research RKTP diethad not been able to reduce p38MAPK expression in granulosa cells in the ovary

Abstract

Background: A key element of forensic genetics is the ability to remove DNA from semen stain. Usingvarious laundering conditions to remove semen stain is a routinely faced forensic problem Objective: Thisstudy was conducted to evaluate the possibility of detection of semen DNA in different types of fabricsafter being washed. Method: Semen samples were applied to cotton and polyester clothes. After drying,the clothes were submitted to washing in water at room temperature, in water at 50°C temperature andin detergent at room temperature. DNA extraction was done to estimate the quantity of extracted DNAby spectrophotometer. Results: Different DNA quantities still could be detected after washing. There washighly statistical significant decrease (P ? 0.001) in the amount of extracted DNA in all group samples (afterwashing) compared to control group. Washing by detergent proved to have the most destructive effect on theDNA stains on clothes followed by washing by water at 500C while washing by water at room temperatureshowed the highest recovery of DNA in clothes. The amount of the DNA detected in cotton samples beforewashing was higher than the amount detected in polyester samples before washing

Abstract

Introduction: Cutting edge sharpness of the periodontal sickle scaler instrument will become blunt afterseveral times of usage; thus the sharpening will be required to maintain the instrument’s sharpness of theinstrument. Based on the method used, manual sharpening using a whetstone can be divided into a movinginstrument technique and moving stone technique. The purpose of this study was to analyze the cutting edgeindex of a sickle scaler instrument after being sharpened with two different techniques using an electronmicroscope / SEM. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two new sickle scaler instruments of type H15 / 33(Oshung Inc.) were randomly selected and divided into four groups. The scaler instrument originated fromthe factory was becoming a positive control (Group I); the instrument that has been blunted was becoming anegative control (Group II). The other groups were the blunt sickle scaler that sharpened using the movingstone technique (Group III) and the moving instrument technique (Group IV). The cutting edge index ofall instruments was then analyzed using SEM (JSM 6360LA, JEOL Ltd, Tokyo, Japan). The cutting edgeindex data from the photomicrograph was then processed using the Kruskal-Wallis and the Mann-Whitneystatistical tests. Result: The results showed a significant difference in the sharpness level between the manualsharpening groups; this can be seen from the p-value = 0,000 (p-value < 0.05). The average cutting edgeindex value showed the best results in the moving instrument sharpening technique (2.10), followed by themoving stone sharpening technique (3.10). Conclusion: A periodic sharpening of sickle scaler instrumentsusing a moving instrument technique provides a finer and sharper cutting edge level than the moving stonetechnique.

Abstract

Family Planning Programs in Indonesia is carried out by means of contraception which is an effort toprevent pregnancy. These efforts can be temporary, can also be permanent. But until now there has not beena 100% ideal method of contraception, because ideally a contraception is seen from the effectiveness, safe,cheap, aesthetic, easy to obtain, does not require continuous motivation, and minimal side effects. Acceptorsusing reversible contraception (aged 15-45 years) have a 1.8 chance of contraceptive failure. Within 1 yearof use, the reversible method fails as much as 1%. Achievement of cases of complications and contraceptivefailure in fertile age couples in East Java can be seen that cases have increased from early January 2019to the end of December 2019 with the achievement of 212 acceptors who experienced cases of failurefailure and 90 acceptors who experienced complications in the province of Java. East in 2019. The failureof contraception can be caused by various things, namely because of the method itself, termination of themethod by the acceptor, lack of discipline in using it or use errors. According to Lawrence Green, a person’shealth is influenced by two main factors namely behavioral factors and factors outside behavior. Consists ofPrediposing Factor in the form of knowledge attitude, Enabling Factor and Reinforcing Factor.
