Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the role of ICAM-1 and HIF-1? in brain endothelial cell of cerebral malariamice model after exposure to 2.4 absolute atmospheres (ATA) hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Thirty-nineC57BL/6 mice were divided into three groups: control negative (normal mice without any exposure),control positive (Plasmodium berghei ANKA [PbA] infection without HBO exposure), and treatment (PbAinfection and exposed to HBO for 10 sessions after the parasite grew). Parasitemia and clinical symptomswere observed every day. Brain tissues were isolated on day 13 post-infection for histopathological andimmunohistochemical examination (observed at 400x magnification in 10 visual fields). HBO decreasedHIF-1? and ICAM-1 expression in endothelial cells. There was a moderate correlation between HIF-1? andICAM-1 expression. Ten HBO sessions prevented cerebral malaria, as denoted by the decreased expressionof ICAM-1 and HIF-1? in brain vascular endothelial cells from the experimental mice.

Abstract

Introduction: Benzene is a volatile organic solvent that easily enters the body when inhaled. Continuousexposure to benzene can cause interference with blood profiles such as leukocytes, hematocrit andhemoglobin. The Threshold Limit Value for benzene exposure is 8 hours /day, but the safe duration ineach person is different in hours / day. One industry that uses benzene solvent is the home shoe industryin Osowilangun, Surabaya. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the safeduration of benzene (tE) in hours / day with blood profiles (leukocytes, hematocrit and hemoglobin).Methods: This research was conducted at the Osowilangun shoe industry in Surabaya. This research isobservational using bivariate analysis using Pearson correlation test. The population in this study amountedto 38 people and used accidental sampling method with 12 samples. The variables studied included the safeduration of toluene (hours/day) and blood profile (leukocytes, hematocrit and hemoglobin).Result: The average safe duration (tE) of workers in the Osiwilangun shoe industry in hours / days is 0.0418.The majority of blood profiles (leukocytes, hematocrit and hemoglobin) are normal. Through Pearsoncorrelation, the safe duration (hours/day) of benzene are leukocyte levels (p = 0.933), hematocrit levels (p =0.119) and hemoglobin levels (p = 0,000).Conclusion : There was no significant relationship between safe duration (hours/day) of benzene withleukocyte and hematocrit levels. However, there was a significant relationship between safe duration (hours/day) of benzene and hemoglobin levels.

Abstract

Background: Anemia is a global public health problem affecting both developing and developed countriesand more prevalent among pregnant women. Worldwide the main cause of anemia during pregnancy is irondeficiency, if remain untreated it might leads to increased risk for perinatal morbidity and mortality.Aim of the study: is to find an incidence of anemia among pregnant women along with types and severityto assess the association of various maternal characteristics with anemia forms.Materials and methods: One hundred twenty eight pregnant women were enrolled in this study. Seventyfive pregnant women were diagnosed with anemia while fifty three pregnant women without anemiaincluded in this study as a control subjects. Blood samples were collected to determine hemoglobin leveland complete blood counts (CBC).Results: The mean age was 27.76 years for 75 anemia pregnant women and mean of 26.08 years for 53control non- anemic pregnant women with no statically significant differences (P>0.05). Most of anemicpregnant women had a pregnancy gap ? 1 year (51%) while most of non-anemic pregnant women had a gapof > 3 years (62%) with highly significant differences between both groups (P<0.01). Approximately halfof anemic pregnant women surveyed found to had a moderate anemia (Hb 7- 9.9 g/dl), one third (32%) ofpregnant women is multigravida with moderate anemia type and (62%) of anemic pregnant women foundto had Microcytic& Hypochromic anemia. In the present study (80%) of pregnant women receiving ironsupplementation, also (73%) receiving folic acid supplement. Only (20%) receiving blood transfusion forsevere anemia type.Conclusion: The results of this research support the idea that the incidence of anemia is still high amongpregnant women and iron deficiency anemia is the most prevalent type with anemia became more pronouncedat third trimester of pregnancy and mostly with moderate severity type.

Abstract

Although hospital services were available, urban poor people often have limited access to hospitals whenneeded. This study was conducted to analyze the determinants of childbirth in a hospital in urban poorwomen in Indonesia. The study uses raw data from the 2017 IDHS. With stratification and multistagerandom sampling, 7,891 women aged 15-49 years old in urban poor communities with live births in the last5 years were sampled. Data were analyzed using a Binary Logistic Regression test. The results of the studyfound that “problems during pregnancy” was not proven as a determinant of the hospital use for deliveryin urban poor women in Indonesia. Age was proven to be one of the determinants, while in the educationlevel category, urban poor women with tertiary education were 2.506 times more likely to use hospitalsfor delivery than urban poor women who were not in school. Parity was significantly proven as one ofthe determinants that influence the use of hospitals for delivery in urban poor women in Indonesia. Urbanpoor women who were covered by health insurance have 1.933 times more possibility of utilizing hospitalfor delivery than those who do not have health insurance. It could be concluded that the “problem duringpregnancy” variable was not a predictor of the hospital use for childbirth in the urban poor communityin Indonesia. The determinants or variables that influence, on the hospital use for childbirth were age,education, parity, and health insurance.

Abstract

The research was aimed to study the effect of chemotherapy on white blood cells especially lymphocytes,and the relationship between chemotherapy and red blood cells, platelets in women with breast cancer. Ourresults showed that the mean ± SE of White Blood Cells (WBCs) and lymphocytes before treatment wassignificantly higher than the mean ± SE of lymphocytes and WBCs after treatment at (P<0. 01), the mean± SE of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) and platelets before treatment was higher than the mean ± SE of RBCsand lymphocyte after treatment at (P<0. 01). The reason probably due to the poor nutrition and the effect ofcancer of the breast on erythropoiesis on the cases, or metastasis to the bone marrow from breast cancer canbe associated with suppression of blood cells synthesis. We concluded that chemotherapy for breast canceris in association with long-term changing in immune system parameters and other cells during clinicalmanagement.
