Abstract

Background: The cumulative number of inflammatory bowel disease patients in Asia has raised three times since early 1990s, although Crohn’s disease is still less common than ulcerative colitis. The objective of this study was to provide clinical and demographic data of Crohn’s disease patients seen in Endoscopic Unit Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital and compare the Results with other Asian countries. Method: This study was done retrospectively cross-sectional descriptive from medical records of all patients underwent colonoscopy at Endoscopic Unit, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, and histological evaluation in the Department of Anatomical Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, between 2007 and 2008. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 17. Results: Of 921 patients who underwent colonoscopy, 19 (2.1%) patients were diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. There was no sex preponderance. The mean age was 47.7 years with a peak age at presentation between 51 and 60 years. The main clinical complaints were diarrhea (42.1%), lower gastrointestinal bleeding (36.8%), abdominal pain (10.5%) and upper gastrointestinal bleeding (5.3%). Colonoscopic findings were hyperemia in 94.7%, edema in 57.9%, erosions in 63.2%, ulcerations in 89.5%, pseudopolyp in 31.6%, fragile lesion in 10.5%, stenosis, fistulation, and cobblestone appearance in 5.3%. Involvement of isolated left colon was 26.3%; other manifestations were isolated right colon (10.5%), pancolitis (57.9%), ileitis (5.3%), ileocolitis (36.8%) and skip lesion (5.3%). Conclusion: The prevalence of Crohn’s disease in this study was similar to the findings in previous studies in Asian countries, with diarrhea as the main clinical complaint, and pancolitis as the dominant finding in colonoscopy examination.

Abstract

Chronic pancreatitis is still considered an uncertain process with an undetermined pathogenesis and ill defined treatment. Chronic pancreatitis is distinguished from acute pancreatitis based on structural and functional differences. In acute pancreatitis, the gland is normal prior to the attack, and returns to normal after an acute attack, while in chronic pancreatitis, the gland is already in an abnormal state prior to or following an attack or prior to and following an acute attack. The most common local complication of chronic pancreatitis is the formation of pseudocysts. Psedocysts are usually formed due to passage obstruction of the pancreatic tract (retention cyst) or due to recurrent acute exacerbation Several pancreatic abnormalities, such as stones, ductal stricture, fluid collection, and functional sphincter abnormality, could be treated using endoscopy. Adjuvant treatment for biliary duct abnormality such as biliary stricture due to pancreatitis, and stent insertion in cases of duodenal obstruction, could also be performed via endoscopy Keywords: Chronic pancreratitis, tropical pancreatitis, treatment

Abstract

Background: Approximately 3% of the world population is infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Protein of hepatitis C virus modulates apoptosis and steatosis, liver cell injury, activates liver stellate cells and liver fibrosis. Hepatitis C virus infection will cause injury to the hepatocytes. This injury to the hepatocyte will activate liver stellate cells. Stellate cells have a huge role in the development of liver fibrosis. The objective of this study is to evaluate the difference of active CD38+ liver stellate cells in various degree of fibrosis as well as its relation with aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and quantitative amount of hepatitis c virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) in chronic hepatitis C.Method: This study was a cross-sectional study performed in 32 patients with chronic hepatitis C who had undergone liver USG, did not suffer from hepatoma, had undergone liver biopsy. Paraffin block of patients’ liver tissue was further stained using Haematoxylin and Eosin technique to identify the Metavir degree which is categorized into mild-moderate or severe degree. Special staining is performed to evaluate liver stellate cells that were then counted in averagely in five fields of view.Results: In this study, we found significant difference in the amount of CD38+ stellate liver cells between severe and mild-moderate fibrosis (p 0.001), there was no association between CD38+ stellate liver cells with AST (p = 0.2) or ALT (p = 0.7), and there was association between CD38+ stellate liver cells with quantitative HCV RNA (r = -0.372).Conclusion: Total amount of CD38+ stellate liver cells in severe fibrosis was higher compared to the total amount of CD38+ liver stellate cells in mild-moderate fibrosis. There was no association between the value of AST, ALT, and quantitative HCV RNA with the number of CD38+ stellate liver cells.

Abstract

Background: Abdominal disturbances are common symptoms found in approximately 40% of patients with dengue fever, which frequently cause significant morbidity. This study was developed as an attempt to understand the effect of plasma leakage in dengue hemorrhagic fever; particularly on ab dominal problems. Method: The study was conducted in hospitalized patients who were diagnosed with dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever (based on the 1997 WHO criteria for DHF) at Fatmawati hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. Abdominal ultrasonography (USG) was done on the fourth to sixth day in every patient and when necessary, endoscopy was done. Data were analyzed by Chi-square test. Results: Fifty-three (54.6%) patients had abdominal pain,  81 (83.5%) patients had nausea, 45 (46.4%) patients had excessive vomiting and 28 (28.9%) patients had diarrhea. Forty-seven (48.4%) patients had their aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevated more than two fold of the Upper Normal Limit (UNL) level; 19 (20%) patients had their alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level elevated two fold higher than the UNL. Amylase was found to be two fold higher than the UNL only in 2 (2%) patients. Lipase level elevated two fold higher than the UNL in 11 (11.3%) patients. USG imaging showed that thickening of the gallbladder wall (over 3 mm) were observed in 83 (85.6%) patients. Endoscopic procedures showed erosive features particularly in the antrum, including edema of the gastric mucosa and widening of the gastric mucosa folding in four patients, while 4 (4.12%) patients had melena. Conclusion: Abdominal disturbances such as abdominal pain, vomiting, melena, liver enlargement and abnormal liver function as well as thickening of the gallbladder wall more than five mm are significantly high in patients with dengue hemorrhagic fever.   Keywords: abdominal disturbances, plasma leakage, dengue hemorrhagic fever

Abstract

Background: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) facilitates long-term enteral nutrition. However, parenteral nutrition prior to PEG tube placement can cause impaired gastrointestinal function. Additionally, upon initiation of enteral feeding via a PEG tube, some patients suffer from gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., vomiting, diarrhea), which reduce their quality of life and increase the nursing workload.Method: This retrospective study included 155 patients upon whom the author performed PEG as the attending physician. Enteral nutrition was started through the PEG tube on the third day after its placement. The following characteristics were analyzed: age, gender, indications for PEG, preoperative enteral nutrition, administered liquid nutrients, daily dosage of nutrients, serum albumin levels, serum alanine aminotransferase levels, serum creatinine levels, serum hemoglobin levels, and vomiting or diarrhea within seven days after the initiation of PEG feeding. A logistic regression model was used to identify the risk factors contributing to gastrointestinal symptoms, and three variables were sequentially introduced into the model—preoperative non-enteral nutrition, hypoalbuminemia, and administration of non-elemental diets.Results: Vomiting and diarrhea occurred in 10 and 15 patients, respectively. There were significant differences in administered nutrients and serum albumin levels between patients with and without gastrointestinal symptoms. Multivariate analysis revealed that the adjusted odds ratios for administration of non-elemental diets and serum albumin level ≤3.2 g/dL were 8.05 (95% confidence interval (CI): 2.66–24.4; p 0.001) and 3.81 (95% CI: 1.33–10.9; p 0.05), respectively.Conclusion: The administration of non-elemental diets and a serum albumin level ≤3.2 g/dL were significant risk factors.

Abstract

Dyspepsia is an uncomfortable sensation or pain in the upper abdomen which is persisting or recurring. Dyspepsia can be classified into functional and organic dyspepsia. Functional dyspepsia is more commonly found compared to the organic type, approximately 60%. Pharmacologic therapy in the management of functional dyspepsia has not shown optimal results, with the multifactorial etiology of functional dyspepsia as the main challenge. Therefore, the management of functional dyspepsia is widened and involves variety treatment modalities, acupuncture being one of them. Acupuncture is a way of treatment by puncturing needles to particular area on the skin to eliminate pain and treat particular diseases. Acupuncture affects stomach motility and gastric acid secretion in functional dyspepsia patients. Two acupuncture points commonly used in functional dyspepsia are ST 36 and PC 6. Acupuncture can restore gastric motility in patients with functional dyspepsia, who have gastric emptying disturbance. Besides, functional dyspepsia complaints, such as epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, burning sensation, and bloating were found to improve after acupuncture therapy. Side effects of acupuncture are not life threatening with low incidence rate. The effectiveness of acupuncture therapy compared to standard medication shows varies results. Further studies are needed to determine the characteristics of functional dyspepsia patients which could have optimal results through acupuncture therapy. Keywords: epigastric pain, gastric motility, ST 36, PC 6

Abstract

Patients with gastric cancer which infiltrates distal esophagus often complain of dysphagia. Stenting is currently the therapy of choice for malignant dysphagia. Self expanding metallic stent (SEMS) placement has become the standard stenting therapy.We reported a case of 63 year old male patient with an advanced gastric adenocarcinoma which infiltrated distal esophagus who complained of dysphagia. The diagnosis was made based on esophago gastro duodenoscopy (EGD), histopathology study and contrast enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan. Patient underwent esophageal stenting successfully. This case report demonstrates SEMS placement as an effectivepalliation therapy in patient with an advanced gastric cancer which infiltrated distal esophagus.Keywords: gastric cancer, self expanding metallic stents, malignant dysphagia

Abstract

Background: TNF- α is a cytokine that plays an active role in the pathogenesis of gastritis. The correlation of TNF-α levels in the gastric mucosa with the severity of gastritis has long been known. However, few studies have assessed TNF-α levels in serum of gastritis patients. This study aims to evaluate correlation between serum TNF-α level with the degree of gastritis based on histopathology.Method: A cross sectional study on eighty gastritis patients that fulfilled the inclusion criteria underwent serum TNF-α examination, endoscopy, and biopsy. Rapid urease test was used for diagnosis of H. pylori infection. The severity of gastritis based on lymphocyte infiltration, neutrophil infiltration, atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia according to Updated Sydney System. Univariate and bivariate analysis (Chi-square, fisher's exact, spearman correlation, and independent T-test) were done using SPSS version 22.Results: There were 41.25% patients infected with Helicobacter pylori. Serum TNF-α levels in the infected group were significantly higher compared to negative H. pylori (p 0.05). There was significant positive correlation between serum TNF-α levels and degree of gastritis based on lymphocyte infiltration (r = 0.333; p = 0.003).Conclusion: There was a significant positive correlation between serum TNF-α level with the severity of gastritis based on lymphocyte infiltration.

Abstract

Background: Bleeding from gastro-esophageal varices is the most serious and life-threatening complication of cirrhosis. Endoscopic surveillance of esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients is expensive and uncomfortable for the patients. Therefore, there is a particular need for non-invasive predictors for esophageal varices. The aim of the present study was to evaluate association of esophageal varices and Lok Score as non-invasive parameter in liver cirrhosis patients.Method: This is a cross-sectional study of patients admitted at the Adam Malik hospital Medan between September to December 2014 with a diagnosis of cirrhosis based on clinical, biochemical, ultrasound, and gastroscopy. Lok Score was calculated for all patients, tabulated and analyzed.Results: Among 76 patients with esophageal varices, 55.3% was due to hepatitis B virus (HBV). The majority of patients were Child C with only 13,2% being Child Pugh class A. Majority of the population had F2 esophageal varices (42,1%), F1 (32,9%), and F3 (25%). There is significance difference between Lok Score and grading of esophageal varices, Lok score is higher in Large esophageal varices compared with small esophageal varises (0.92 ± 0.14 vs. 0.70 ± 0.29; p = 0.001). Lok Score cut-off value of 0,9141 was highly predictive in the diagnosis large esophageal varices with a sensitivity of 74.5%, specificity of 72%, positive predictive value of 84%, negative predictive value 58%, and accuracy was 73.7%.Conclusion: Lok Score was significantly associated with esophageal varices. Lok score is a good non-invasive predictor of large esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients.
