Abstract

Gastro-esophageal reflux disease is a pathological condition of esophagus which is caused by gastric content reflux into esophagus. There is an increased prevalence of gastro-esophageal reflux disease. The roles of esophageal pH-metry in clinical application include looking for abnormal acid exposure on esophagus with no abnormality found in endoscopy; evaluating patients following the anti-reflux surgery who are being suspected for abnormal esophageal reflux; evaluating patients with normal endoscopic result but still having refractory reflux symptoms against proton pump inhibitor medication; detecting refractory reflux in patients chest pain following the heart evaluation; evaluating patients with otolaryngologic manifestations (laryngitis, pharyngitis, chronic cough) of the esophageal reflux disease after therapeutic failure of 4-weeks proton pump inhibitor treatment; and looking for correlation between adult onset gastro-esophageal reflux disease and non-allergic asthma. Keywords: gastro-esophageal reflux disease, esophagus pH-metry, symptoms-reflux correlation

Abstract

Background: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus, is a novel disease that has not been previously identified. The disease may result in multiple organ impairment leading to death. Liver is also affected by this viral infection. This study aimed to investigate the association of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) with mortality rate in these patients.Method: This is a retrospective cohort study of COVID-19 patients admitted in Fatmawati General Hospital during a period of March-April, 2020. Diagnosis of COVID-19 was established from real time Polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR). Association of AST and ALT levels with mortality was analyzed by using SPSS® version 16.0.Results: Forty-two patients were diagnosed as confirmed case of COVID-19, 52.3% of them were male. Mean age was 54.6±12 years. Median (IQR) value of AST and ALT levels were 55(48) U/L and 39(40) U/L, respectively. AST and ALT was elevated in 71.4% and 42.9%, respectively. Increased levels of AST and ALT  2 times above the upper normal limit (UNL), 2 times ULN, and 5 times ULN were found in 33.3% and 21.4%;  38.1% and 21.4%; 4.8% and 4.8%, respectively. Mortality was recorded in 45.1% of these confirmed cases, 50% occurred within 2 days of hospitalization. Higher mean value of AST is associated with an increased mortality risk (101 ± 147 U/L vs. 82.78 ± 173 U/L; p 0.032). Sub-analysis identified that abnormal AST 2 times above UNL has a higher mortality proportion compared with AST  2 times UNL and normal AST levels (62.5% vs. 50% vs. 16.7%; p 0.05). Mean value of ALT is not associated with mortality (p 0.479). Further sub-analysis found that in patients who succumbed to the disease, abnormal levels of AST and ALT is related to the time of death during hospitalization despite being statistically not significant.Conclusion: Mortality rate of COVID-19 in hospitalized patients remains high. Increased AST levels was significantly associated with higher mortality rate. This finding merit further investigation by incorporating larger sample size to discern the role of these factors’ contribution to mortality in COVID-19.

Abstract

Idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH) known as non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis (NCPF) is a constellation of liver disorders, in which liver cirrhosis is not present and the main clinical and pathological findings are encountered in the portal venous system. Patients usually come to hospital with esophageal varices and upper gastrointestinal bleeding; however, it is often misdiagnosed as liver cirrhosis. Its etiology is still unknown, but some evidences and epidemiological studies suggest that it is a multifactorial disease with genetic basis. The laboratory evaluation in IPH reveals only mild and subtle abnormalities predominantly related to hypersplenism. The major complications of IPH are esophageal varices and hypersplenism. Endoscopic sclerotherapy or band ligation, shunt surgery, and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) are modalities to treat the complications of IPH. The case report reported about diagnosis and treatment of a 20-year-old male with idiopathic portal hypertension. Keywords: idiopathic portal hypertension, non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis, diagnosis, treatment

Abstract

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the emergency conditions in the field of gastroenterology and variceal bleeding is the most common cause of it. Gastric varices accounts only 5% to 10% of all causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding respectively, but it could be fatal and difficult to control despite provision of adequate therapy. Early diagnosis and appropriate management may decrease the morbidity and mortality of gastric variceal bleeding. Keywords: Gastric varices, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, endoscopy

Abstract

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is the common cause of chronic gastritis in the world that is around 80% in addition to other causes such as autoimmune diseases, drugs, idiopathic and others. The pathogenesis of H. pylori associated with virulence factors consisting of cytotoxin - associated gene A (CagA) and vacuolating cytotoxin A (Vaca). In the case of gastritis occurred acute and chronic inflammatory responses and activation cytokines that cause inflammation of mucous which TNF-α levels increased in patients gatritis H. pylori. Levels of serum TNF-α was found higher in patients infected with H. pylori with CagA positive. The purpose of this study is to investigate the comparison between TNF-α serum level in H. pylori gastritis patients with Cag A (+) and CagA (-).Method: The study was conducted with a cross-sectional design in 30 patients with dyspepsia, using PADYQ score. We performed gastroscopy, biopsy, and CLO test to prove the existence of H. pylori. Furthermore, we used PCR to assess CagA (+) and CagA (-), and ELISA method to measure TNF-α serum level.Results: From 30 subjects, 18 men (60%), 12 women (40%), and the mean age was 53.5 years, the majority of the ethnic was Bataknese  (53.3%), patients with H. pylori gastritis with CagA (+) were 21 (70%) and patients with H. pylori gastritis with CagA (-) were 9 (30%). We found the mean serum levels of TNF-α was higher (3.48) in H. pylori gastritis with CagA (+) than the CagA (-) (1.29) with p value was 0.001.Conclusion: We found increased serum levels of TNF-α in patients with CagA (+) compared to Cag A (-) H. pylori gastritis.

Abstract

Iatrogenic bile duct stricture is the most common causes of benign bile duct stricture. Several studies reported that approximately 80% of benign strictures occur following injury during a cholecystectomy. Strictures of the biliary tract have a broad spectrum of manifestations, ranging from mild elevation of liver enzymes to life-threatening infections such as cholangitis, liver abscess, and biliary cirrhosis. Moreover, due to its indolent course with subtle clinical manifestations, diagnosis is often delayed and most patients present with a protracted, complicated course. We reported a case of 26 years old female with recurrent cholangitis due to iatrogenic bile duct stricture. Biliary drainage through endoscopic approach followed by surgical procedure was selected as strategic management for the patient.

Abstract

Background: The dietary protein restriction that was commonly recommended to hepatic encephalopathy (HE) patients, often leads to malnutrition, whereas malnutrition can deteriorate cirrhosis prognosis. The aims of this study were to find out encephalopathy improvement that was measured by critical flicker frequency (CFF) test and nutritional status by measuring prealbumin level after L-Ornithine L-Aspartate (LOLA) treatment with adequate calories and protein intake in patients with HE. Method: Patients with liver cirrosis who visited Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital on June-October 2009 was evaluated by CFF test using HEPAtonormTM device. Encephalopathy was defined when CFF 39 Hz. Nutritional status was measured by the mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) and was stated as malnutrition when the MAMC was below the 15th percentile. Patients had been treated by 3 x 6 mg LOLA granules for 2 weeks, and adequate calories and protein intake with branched-chain amino acid (BCAAs) substitution. The change of encephalopaty was evaluated by the CFF test and the nutritional status by measuring prealbumin blood level. Results: There were 17 patients with liver cirrhosis who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The mean CFF Result increased from 34.1 ± 2.5 Hz to 36.5 ± 2.9 Hz after LOLA treatment with the adequate calories and protein intake including BCAAs substitution, which was statistically significant (p 0.001) compared to before treatment. The prealbumin level also increased significantly compared before treatment, i.e. from 5.4 ± 2.1 mg/dL to 6.4 ± 2.6 mg/dL, p = 0.008. Conclusion: HE patients with malnutrition could be given adequate calorie and protein with BCAAs substitution  to  improve  their  nutritional  status,  and  LOLA  granules  for  the improvement of HE. Keywords: minimal hepatic encephalopathy, malnutrition, CFF, LOLA, prealbumin, BCAAs

Abstract

Background: The common etiologies of obstructive jaundice were biliary stone and biliary neoplasms. The gold standard to diagnose malignancy causing obstructive jaundice is endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with sensitivity and specificity of 95% and 100%. However, ERCP is an invasive procedure associated with several complications such as bleeding, pancreatitis, and perforation. Other modalities include endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). Thus, we aim to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of EUS with MRCP in patients with malignancy causing obstructive jaundice.Method: This was a cross-sectional study that calculates the sensitivity and specificity of EUS and MRCP in diagnosing malignancy causing obstructive jaundice compared with the gold standard, histopathology examination from ERCP. The study was conducted in the Medical Record Unit, Gastroenterology Division, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, on January – March 2019 by using a consecutive sampling method. The date of diagnosis was collected from the medical record within five years. Subjects were selected based on inclusion criteria which include patients aged ≥ 18 years old who were diagnosed with malignancy causing obstructive jaundice by ERCP, and had underwent EUS or MCRP with a maximum interval of 3 months to ERCP. The exclusion criteria include patients with previous evidence of biliary tract malignancy or concurrent parenchymal jaundice. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 20.Results: There were 54 subjects with a mean age of 56.48 ± 11.37 years. Subjects consisted of 29 (53.7%) males and 25 (46.3%) females. The median period between EUS to ERCP was 0-33 days, while MRCP to ERCP was 1-53 days. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value to diagnose obstructive jaundice due to malignancy were 96%, 60%, 96%, 60% in EUS, and 90%, 40%, 94%, 29% in MRCP, respectively.Conclusion: EUS was more superior to MRCP in the diagnosis of  malignancy causing obstructive jaundice.

Abstract

ABSTRACTWeil’s disease is a severe form of leptospirosis and caused by pathogenic strain of Leptospira. Weil’s disease affects many organs including pancreas. Acute pancreatitis in leptospirosis is quite rare. Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis in Weil’s disease is based on clinical features, biochemical, and radiologic examination. Sometimes histopathological examination is urged to confirm diagnosis. Management of acute pancreatitis in severe leptospirosis comprise of antibiotic for leptospirosis and supportive treatment for the acute pancreatitis. Early and appropriate treatment is mandated as it was studied to significantly decrease mortality riskWe reported a case of 42 year old man suffering Weil’s disease with multi organ complications. Patient complained diffuse abdominal pain. Although the abdominal ultrasonography did not show any abnormalities of the pancreas, the amylase and lipase showed striking results. He recovered uneventfully. This case report demonstrated acute pancreatitis as one of severe leptospirosis complications. Keywords: acute pancreatitis, Weil’s disease, severe leptospirosis

Abstract

Gastroduodenal mucosal integrity has important role in the pathogenesis of gastroduodenal ulcer. It depends on imbalance between aggressive and defensive factors. However, many experts believe that defensive factors has more dominant role. Maintenance of gastrointestinal endothelial integrity appears to define the “cytoprotection” phenomenon and, as discussed below, is a critical component of NSAID- induced GI injury and a potential target for therapeutic intervention. Keywords: mucosal integrity, aggressive factors, defensive factor, cytoprotection
