Abstract

Aim: To identify if methotrexate (MTX) may be given to chronic hepatitis B patients and to evaluate the necessity of antiviral prophylaxis administration.Method: Literature search procedure to answer this clinical problem was performed by exploring the literature online using PubMed, Highwire Stanford University, NUS Library, and MD Consult search engines. With this searching method, we found 20 articles in English. From those 20 articles, there were two articles relevant based on the title and abstract (studies by Tamori et al and Mori).Results: From 45 patients without HbsAg from Tamori et al study, only one from 3 patients receiving disease-modifying antirheumatoid drug/DMARD (including MTX) experienced reactivation. Those three patients did not receive anti-TNF-α therapy. Study by Mori concluded that DMARD was relatively safe to be given to most RA patients with the history of HBV infection, although they were not given anti HBV prophylaxis therapy.Conclusion: MTX is not recommended for patient in this case because it is contraindicated to be given in HBV infected patient with any given Child Pugh score. If MTX is still given, it is recommended to give antiviral prophylaxis therapy.

Abstract

Background: One of the complications of esophageal varices ligation is deep ulcer. Sucralphate has been shown to prevent and heal post ligation esophageal ulcer. Materials and method: All patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension undergoing esophageal varices ligation in the year 2000/2001 were included in this study. Using “double-blind random sampling”, patients were divided into 2 groups, those receiving sucralphate and those receiving placebo for 2 weeks. Endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract was conducted regularly on the 7th, 10th, and 14th day to evaluate the diameter of the esophageal ulcer based on the diameter of forceps biopsy. The data were evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) or kruskal wallis. Results: Statistically, there was no significant difference in the characteristics of group A patients receiving sucralphate and group B patients receiving placebo. Only 17 patients from group A and 20 from group B were allowed to participate in this study. On the 10th day, the average diameter of the esophageal ulcer in the sucralphate group was significantly smaller than that from the placebo group. (4.74 + 2.02 mm vs 5.42 + 2.22 mm; p=0.04). On the 14th day, the average diameter of esophageal ulcer in the sucralphate group was also significantly less than that of the placebo group (0.88 + 1.58 vs 2.99 + 2.04 mm; p < 0.01). Conclusion:Sucralphate is able to accelerate post esophageal varices ligation esophageal ulcer. Keywords: sucralphate, esophageal ulcer, esophageal varices ligation

Abstract

Acute cholangitis (AC) is a biliary tract emergency which causes significant morbidity and mortality. The direct cause of death in AC is sepsis that leads to irreversible shock and multiple organ failure. The most common predisposition are bile duct stones and previous invasive manipulation of the biliary tree. Biliary infection and biliary obstruction are the two main factors in pathophysiology of AC. Gram-negative bacteria are isolated frequently from bile and blood culture in cholangitis. The most common cause of biliary obstruction is gallstone.The Charcot’s triad which commonly has been used to diagnose AC is severely limited and the clinical presentation of the disease has wide spectrum ranging from mild symptoms to severe life-threatening disease. Thus, the use of the most updated Tokyo Guidelines (TG18) is imperative to diagnose the disease and to assess the severity. The TG18 diagnostic criteria is based on the presence of systemic inflammmation, cholestasis, and evidence on imaging studies of biliary tract. The prompt treatment is tailored according to severity assessed by TG18. Initial treatment includes sufficient fluid replacement, hemodynamic control, electrolyte compensation, intravenous antibiotic administration, and intravenous analgesic administration.  The definitive treatment which related to the pathophysiology of the disease are biliary drainage and antibiotic administration.

Abstract

Background: Colorectal carcinoma is a common malignancy with the highest mortality rate. Epstein- Barr virus (EBV) as the virus that most commonly infect humans, also can infect the body in a latent and induce the occurrence of malignancy. This study aimed to prove an association between EBV virus infection with degree of colorectal carcinoma by examining the main EBV oncogene expression, namely Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen-1 (EBNA-1), in low grade and high grade colorectal carcinoma. Method: Cross-sectional study was performed in 14 colorectal cancer patients in Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta between July 2011 and January 2012. The biopsy specimens were stained for EBNA-1 expression using immunohistochemical technique. Statistical analysis was performed using T-test and Mann-Whitney by SPSS software version 19.0 for windows. Results: Of the 14 patients, there were 7 patients with low grade colorectal carcinoma and 7 patients with high grade colorectal carcinoma. EBNA-1 expression was found in epithelium of low grade and high grade colorectal carcinoma with p = 0.01; CI = -5.24-0.88. We also assessed the expression of EBNA-1 on lymphocytes B of low grade colorectal carcinoma and high grade colorectal carcinoma with p = 0.043. Conclusion: Significant differences in the expression of EBNA-1 was found in association with EBV infection either in low grade and high grade colorectal carcinoma. The role of EBNA-1 as tumor initiator needs to be elucidated further. Keywords: carcinoma colorectal, Epstein-Barr virus, EBNA-1

Abstract

The diagnosis of intestinal amebiasis is easily established based on colonoscopy, i.e. there is a specific characteristic of ulcer/lesion “discrete flask-shape ulcer” with normal mucosa among the ulcers. However, most patients with amebic colitis have non-specific clinical manifestations and their colonoscopy findings are hardly distinguished from inflammatory bowel disease. In the present case, the patient had a chief complaint of chronic bleeding diarrhea and abdominal pain. The fecal analysis found trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica. Serology test (sero-amebic) revealed negative result. The colonoscopy examination reveals hyperemic mucosa, edema, and multiple ulcers with various sizes covered with fragile and easily bleed debris, from the rectum to ascending colon, rigid colon, narrowing lumen and tumor/mass appearance on ascending colon. The differential diagnosis was severe amebic colitis and inflammatory bowel disease. Based on the colonoscopy biopsy, we found an active chronic colitis along with dysplasia. The patient received management and treatment of severe amebic colitis and inflammatory bowel disease. Keywords: amebic colitis, bleeding diarrhea, fecal analysis, colonoscopy, biopsy, inflammatory bowel disease

Abstract

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which stomach contents flow back into the esophagus, leading to various symptoms and complications. In Indonesia, the prevalence of GERD has been reported at 57.6%. Coffee consumption is often suspected to be closely linked to the occurrence of GERD. This study aims to determine the association between coffee consumption and the incidence of GERD.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional approach to conduct observational analytical research. The sample included individuals aged 18 to 65 years residing in Jakarta, selected using a consecutive sampling method. Data were collected using the Indonesian version of the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GERD-Q). To assess the association between coffee consumption and GERD, the Chi-square test of independence was applied.Results: Out of 105 respondents, 26 were identified as having GERD. Among those, 84.6% reported consuming coffee at moderate to high frequencies, while 15.3% consumed little to no coffee. The Chi-square test of independence revealed a statistically significant association between coffee consumption and GERD among Jakarta residents aged 18 to 65 years (p = 0.006).Conclusion: There is a significant association between coffee consumption and the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) among Jakarta residents aged 18 to 65 years.

Abstract

Many patients with liver disease would have to undergo surgery. Surgery and anesthesia in patients with liver disease are associated with extremely high perioperative complications and mortality. Identification of the type of liver disease, stratification of risk factors, and management of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative complications are essential to reduce the morbidity and mortality. Surgical risk is increased in patients with liver cirrhosis. Child turchote pugh (CTP) and the model for end stage liver disease (MELD) are two scoring systems which are often used nowadays to stratify risk factors in patients with liver cirrhosis who will undergo surgery. Elective surgery is well tolerated in cirrhosis patients with CTP class A and permissible in patient with CTP class B with preoperative preparation, except for extensive liver resection surgery and cardiac surgery. Elective surgery is contraindicated in patients with CTP class C, acute viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, fulminant liver failure, and liver disease with severe extrahepatic complication such as hypoxemia, cardiomyopathy, and acute renal failure. Intensive monitoring in the postoperative period and early intervention of complications are also essential to reduce the morbidity and mortality.

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori infects the gastric mucosa or the duodenal wall undergoing gastric meteplasia, and is found in nearly 100% of chronic gastritis and duodenal ulcers. Helicobacter pylori produces urease that converts urea into ammonia, which will protect the organism from the acidic environment and will cause further damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa. Helicobacter pylori can be detected through histopathological evaluation, macroscopic endoscopy, serologic test, urea breath test, biopsy urease test, culture and stool analysis. Histiopathologically, Helicobacter pylori infection demonstrates neutrophil infiltration into the gastric mucosa, classified as focal infiltration. We conducted a prospective study of 50 chronic dyspeptic patients. We took their history, performed physical examinations, gastroscopy with judgement for macroscopic endoscopic appearance, histopathology from biopsy specimens, and the CLO test. There were 50 chronic dyspeptic patients in the study, with an age ranging from 23-81 years, and a mean age 49±12 year. Most of them were male (33 cases). There were 17 female cases. From the CLO test, there were 30 cases with CLO (+) and 20 cases CLO (-). From the 30 cases with CLO (+), 22 were male and 8 female. Gastroscopy revealed 25 cases of gastric ulcer, 7 duodenal ulcer, 2 gastric cancer, 15 gastritis, and 30 gastropathy. A gastroscopic appearance of chronic dyspepsia with positive Helicobacter pylori were found mostly in gastric ulcer (18 cases), followed by duodenal ulcer (6 cases), gastritis (5 cases) and one case of gastric cancer. A gastroscopic appearance of chronic dyspepsia with negative Helicobacter pylori were found mostly in gastritis 10 cases, while the remaining in gastric ulcer (7 cases), gastric cancer (2 cases), and a case of duodenal ulcer. Gastroscopy revealed 15 cases of gastritis. From the 5 gastritis cases with CLO (+), 3 cases had lesions located at the antrum and 2 cases at the corpus, while from the remaining 10 cases of gastritis with CLO (-), 8 cases had lesions located at the antrum, and 2 at the corpus. The time to colonization was shortest in duodenal ulcer (grade IV), followed by gastric ulcer (grade II) and gastritis (grade I) in CLO (-) examination. From cases of gastritis with CLO (+), 4 were moderate cases and one case severe, while from cases of gastritis with CLO (-) there were 7 mild cases, and 3 moderate cases with no severe case found. Keywords: Endoscopic findings, histopathology, Helicobacter pylori.

Abstract

Background: In adults, the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are often complained of in daily life and their prevalence has increased. Symptoms of GERD are often found along with the occurrence of dyspepsia. One of the factors that affect the symptoms of GERD is depression. Due to the limited data available in Indonesia, this study was conducted to see the correlation between depression and gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire score (GERD-Q).Method: This study was conducted on dyspepsia patients at Atma Jaya Hospital (RSAJ) beginning at June to September 2018. The study was conducted using a cross-sectional design and using the GERD-Q and Depression questionnaire, Anxiety, Stress Scale 42 (DASS 42) which has been translated and validated by other researchers to measure GERD scores and depression scores.Results: The total respondents of this study were 53, with the percentage of men and women being 30.2% and 69.8% respectively. The average age of patients was 57.2, with those who were overweight / obese as many as 64.2%, and those who smoked as many as 9.4%. As many as 73.6% respondents had a GERD-Q score of ≥ 8. Moreover, 35.8% of respondents had mild depression, 15.1% had moderate depression, and 3.8% had severe depression. The results showed a significant correlation between depression and GERD-Q score in Atma Jaya Hospital dyspepsia patients (p = 0,000, r = 0,496).Conclusion: There is a correlation between depression and GERD-Q score of dyspepsia patients at Atma Jaya Hospital

Abstract

Colonoscopy is the current standard method for evaluating colon. Cecal intubation rate is an important indicator of colonoscopy quality. In up to 10–20% colonoscopies, cecal intubation may be considered difficult.There are several consequences of low cecal intubation rate: it limits the efficacy of colonoscopy, increasing risk of complications and cost, and missing in detecting adenoma colorectal or other abnormal mucosa lesion.Failure to intubate the cecal can be a result of: (1) patients factors (female, older, diverticular disease, history of abdominal surgery, low body mass index, history of constipation, laxative use); (2) endoscopist factors (prior experience, the specific techniques and instrument used; (3) or some combination thereof. In an effort to solve these problems endoscopist should increase their technical manoeuvres (minimizing inflation and looping, using water–aided method, appropriate use of positional changes and abdominal pressure) and use various accessories methods (inserting a biopsy forceps through the biopsy channel, pediatric colonoscopy, variable stiffness colonoscopy).Keywords: cecal intubation rate, difficult colonoscopy, colonoscopy quality, water–aided colonoscopy
