Abstract

Background: Skin Prick Test (SPT) is good diagnostic tool of allergic disease such as Atopic Dermatitis (AD). Imported allergen extracts are expensive and not always available in Indonesia. New local SPT allergen extracts are potential as substitute. Objective: To compare SPT results of new local and imported allergen extracts (house dust mite, chicken, egg white, cow’s milk, and shrimp), and specific IgE in AD patients. Methods: This was clinical trial of 45 non lesional AD patients. The SPT of imported allergen extracts was performed in the first week, followed by the new local and specific IgE examination in the next one week. Result: Sensitivity (Sn) of new local compared with imported allergen extracts in this study was between 15.38%-84.61%, the highest point was house dust mite extract. Specificity (Sp) was ranged from 81.48%-93.75%, the highest rank was shrimp extract. Compared with IgE results, the Sn of new local and imported house dust mite extracts was good (85.7%; 92.9%). The Sp was good for egg white and cow’s milk new local extracts (86.4%; 84.4%). Conclusion: New local allergen extracts should be considered as a substitute of the imported diagnostic tool.

Abstract

Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a very rare tumor with uncertain malignant potential. It is a soft tissuetumor which originates from the pericytes in the walls of the blood capillaries. Both benign and malignantvarieties are present with the tendency to metastasize. It was first described by Stout and Murray in 1942.The incidence of occurrence in oral cavity is very rare. We report a case of 57 year old male, who presentedwith an exophytic overgrowth from the lingual aspect of the maxillary left gingiva which extended into thepalatal area. The tumor was completely removed with wide surgical excision. The histopathological studyof the tumor suggested the HPC.

Abstract

Background: The use of TKI generation 1 (Gefitinib, Erlotinib) and Generation 2 (Afatinib) has become thestandard therapy for JPIC pulmonary adenocarcinoma type with positive EGFR gene mutations.Objective: to analyze the comparison of the efficacy of TKI generation 1 and 2 in NSCLC patients withpositive EGFR mutations.Methods: The design of this study used a retrospective in which the participants who received EGFR therapyfor TKI generations 1 and 2 were compared its efficacy. Data collected included health-related quality of life(HRQOL), body weight, performance status (PS), Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)of thoracic CT, Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), progression free survival(PFS) and overall survival (OS). The statistical analysis used was the independent t test, Mann Whitney test,or Kruskal Wallis test with p <0.05.Results: Most of the participants’ quality of life scores did not change before and after therapy, where theEQ5D value was 67.5% (group 1 = 60.6%; Group 2 = 94.1%; p = 0.806). The participant’s weight decreasedby 49.5% (group 1 = 45.9%; group 2 = 60.0%; p = 0.658) and the participant’s PS was stable (group 1 =29.4%; group 2 = 50.0%; p = 0.014). The RECIST value of the participant was progressive disease 51.0% (p= 0.338). CTCAE differed in stomatitis (p <0.001), paronychia (p <0.001), and diarrhea (p <0.001). Therewas no significant difference between the first and second groups in the PFS (p = 0.197) and OS (p = 0.740)values.Conclusion: EGFR therapy for TKI generations 1 and 2 have almost the same efficacy, in which there is nosignificant difference in the quality of life of the participants.

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the reproductive pattern of bitches by estimation the optimumtime of ovulation and kisspeptin level. The study included 245 bitches (different breeds), from March/2019to the end of February/2020.Canine ovulation timing kits was applied in order to determine the ovulationtime. For estimation of Kisspeptin, blood collection of 80 samples allocated approximately 7 samples foreach monthby using ELISA kit. The resultsrevealed the time of ovulation ranged from 2 to 5 days after thebeginning of the estrus phase.The results showed that concentration of kisspeptin during different phases ofthe estrous cycle was (257.01±11.08, 262.93±9.15, 227.98±14.91 and 244.89±11.99) pg/mL for Proestrus,Estrus, Diestrus, and Anestrus respectively with no significant (p>0.05) differences among different estrouscycle phase. The concentration of kisspeptin in which distributed according to the season showed that itwas (218.26±11.92, 254.12±10.09, 246.00±10.22, and 287.11±9.00) pg/ml for Spring, Summer, Autumn,and Winter, respectively and there was a significant difference (p<0.05) between Summer and Winter. Asa conclusion, the ovulation timing kit was accurate and useful for detecting the time of ovulation and theseason had a significant effect on the kisspeptin level.
