Abstract

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Diabetic foot is a serious complication that leads to ulcers and amputations. Identifying risk factors, such as lipid profiles and atherogenic indices is crucial for prevention and treatment for cardiovascular disease and peripheral arterial disease. This study aims to investigate the relationship between lipid profiles and atherogenic indices with the severity of diabetic foot, categorized by the Wagner-Meggitt classification, at Adam Malik Hospital. Methods: This analytical observational study with cross-sectional design was conducted at Adam Malik Hospital, involving 70 diabetic foot patients. Data were collected from medical records, focusing on lipid profiles. Atherogenic indices were calculated as ratios: TC/HDL, TG/HDL, and LDL/HDL. The severity of diabetic foot was measured using the Wagner-Meggitt classification. Statistical analysis included Chi-square and Spearman's rho tests. Results: Of the 70 patients, most were aged 51-60 (41.4%), male (60%), and had normal BMI (57.1%). There was a significant correlation between diabetic foot severity and triglyceride levels (p=0.0002, r=0.358) as well as the TC/HDL ratio (p=0.02, r=-0.277). However, no significant relationships were found for total cholesterol (p=0.533), HDL (p=0.254), LDL (p=0.533), the TG/HDL ratio (p=0.158), or the LDL/HDL ratio (p=0.92). Discussion: In this study, 60% of the participants were male. The findings align with previous studies, demonstrating a correlation between elevated triglycerides and lipid profile abnormalities with the severity of diabetic foot ulcers. Conclusion: Triglycerides and the total cholesterol/HDL ratio are significantly associated with the severity of diabetic foot based on the Wagner-Meggitt classification.   Keywords: diabetic foot; lipid profile; atherogenic index; Wagner-Meggitt

Abstract

Background: Durio zibethinus (durian) contains secondary metabolites with antibacterial potency, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and glycosides. Indonesia is one of the world’s largest producing countries of durian, yet the thorny part of the fruit rind often ends up as waste. Investigations of durian rind for its antimicrobial activity will maximize the benefits and prevent waste accumulation. Objective: In this experimental study, we analyzed the antimicrobial activity of ethanolic extract of durian rind against extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and K. pneumoniae in vitro. Methods: This study used a one-group posttest-only design. The disc diffusion method for antimicrobial susceptibility test was used to test the ethanolic extract of durian rind against ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae, each with six experimental repetitions to observe the inhibition zone produced around discs containing the extracts at various concentrations (12.5%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 80%, and 100%). Results: Ethanolic extract of durian rind showed an inhibition zone against ESBL-producing E. coli at the extract concentration of 50%, with an average inhibition zone of 3.57 mm. The inhibition zone was also observed against ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae at the extract concentration of 75%, with an average inhibition zone of 3.73 mm. Conclusions: The ethanolic extract of durian rind showed inhibition zones against ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae, showing its potential antimicrobial activity in vitro.

Abstract

Background: Intestinal parasitic infections are quite a big problem and are still often found in society. Intestinal parasitic infections are caused by infections of intestinal protozoa and intestinal nematodes. Intestinal parasitic infections can result in a decline in an individual's health, nutrition, intelligence and productivity. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and good personal hygiene have an important role in reducing the transmission of parasites from soil to humans, both through eggs, larvae and adult parasites, especially for waste workers who have direct contact with infectious environments. In the city of Medan, the final disposal site used is TPA Terjun. Every day, TPA Terjun receives waste from various areas in the city of Medan. Workers are at high risk of being infected by intestinal parasites that spread through the soil. Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the habit of using PPE and personal hygiene with the incidence of intestinal parasite infections in waste workers at TPA Terjun Medan. Methods: This study included 121 subjects from TPA Terjun, Medan. This research used cross-sectional approach. Result: This study found that there was no correlation between the use of gloves, masks, protective clothing and protective shoes on the incidence of intestinal infections in waste workers at TPA Terjun Medan, also between personal hygiene and the incidence of intestinal parasite infections in waste workers at TPA Terjun Medan. Conclusion: The use of PPE is important to prevent the transmission of intestinal parasitic infections to workers at TPA Terjun, Medan.

Abstract

Background: Diabetic foot is a significant complication for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus’s (T2DM) patients. Previous studies have linked diabetic foot to micronutrients such as ferritin, vitamin D, and calcium, but there have been no follow-up studies in Medan. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between levels of ferritin, vitamin D, and calcium with the severity of diabetic foot, as measured by the Wagner-Meggit criteria, in T2DM patients at Adam Malik Hospital. Method: A cross-sectional study with 48 T2DM patients at Adam Malik Hospital from December 2022 to December 2023. Micronutrient levels were measured, and the severity of diabetic foot was assessed using the Wagner-Meggitt classification. Result: The majority of participants (64.6%) were female. High ferritin levels were observed in 91.6% of patients, while 93.75% had low levels of calcium and vitamin D. Bivariate analysis revealed no significant correlations between ferritin, corrected calcium, or vitamin D levels and Wagner grades 2-5 (p=0.515, p=0.646, p=0.377, respectively). Non-parametric correlation analysis showed significant relationships between corrected calcium (p=0.022) and vitamin D (p=0.027) with Wagner grades. Discussion: Among the 48 subjects, bivariate testing found that ferritin levels above 150 ng/ml were not linked to diabetic foot severity. Low calcium levels (below 8.5 ng/dl) were significantly associated with increased severity of diabetic foot (p < 0.03). 93.75% of participants had low vitamin D levels, which also correlated significantly with foot severity (p=0.027). Conclusion: The study concluded that calcium and vitamin D levels correlate with the severity of diabetic foot, whereas ferritin levels do not.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is caused by reduced insulin sensitivity, which can lead to insulin shortage. Several recent investigations have found that vitamin D is connected with insulin secretion and sensitivity. Vitamin D insufficiency is linked to poor glucose regulation. Aim: To determine the correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and glycemic control in Type 2 DM patients. Method: T2DM patients' serum levels of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D, Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG), 2-hours postprandial blood glucose (2-h PBG), and HbA1c were examined in this cross-sectional analytical observational study. Statistical analysis was also performed. Result: From 49 samples included, the number of male subjects was almost the same as female, mean age was 58 years. There was a decrease in serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels with a median of 27.87 ng/ml (12,626 -94,367). Glycemic control was found to be poor, the median of FBG levels was 134 mg/dl (61-339), 2-h PBG levels was 208 mg/dl (93-488) and HbA1c levels was 7.5% (5.6-12.8). Analysis using Spearman correlation between serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels with levels of FBG, 2-h PBG and HbA1c showed values of r = -0.538 and p = 0.000, r = -0.354 and p 0.013, r = -0.501 and p 0.000. Conclusion: There was a statistically significant negative correlation between serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D levels and levels of FBP, 2h-PBG and HbA1c in T2DM patients. Keywords: 25-Hydroxyvitamin D serum, glycemic control, fasting blood glucose, two-hour postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c.
