The Jurnal Kesehatan Komunitas Indonesia (JKKI) is an open access scientific journal managed by EBSINA and published by Al-Hijrah Indonesia. JKKI focuses on public health and nursing research, epidemiology, pharmacy, reproductive health, health management, environmental health, health promotion, occupational safety, community nutrition, health policy, and others related to health in the community. JKKI welcomes original articles, review articles, and case studies on various professional health services. Health workers are subjects at JKKI, but writers outside the health subject are also welcome to be able to send articles as long as the article is within the scope of JKKI, especially its implications for public health. The Indonesian Community Health Journal (JKKI) is published in April, August and December.

Abstract

The increasing use of ionizing radiation in medical imaging requires proper monitoring to ensure the safety of radiographers, particularly through the use of Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD). However, inconsistencies in knowledge and behavior regarding TLD usage may affect radiation protection practices. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge level and radiographers' behavior regarding the use of TLD. This research used a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 28 respondents at the clinical practice sites of the Diploma in Radiography at Adisutjipto Yogyakarta Indonesian Air Force Health Polytechnic. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of knowledge and behavior variables. The sampling technique used was convenience sampling, and data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-square test. The results showed that the majority of respondents had good knowledge (64.3%) and good behavior (64.3%). A statistically significant relationship was found between knowledge and behavior (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that higher knowledge levels are associated with better compliance in TLD usage, although some inconsistencies remain in technical and procedural aspects. In conclusion, improving knowledge can positively influence behavior; therefore, continuous training, supervision, and reinforcement of radiation safety practices are recommended to enhance compliance in TLD usage.

Abstract

Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and limitations in tissue sampling. Molecular biomarkers, particularly Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), have gained attention for improving diagnostic accuracy and understanding tumor biology. EGFR plays a critical role in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival through multiple signaling pathways. This study aims to analyze the role of EGFR expression as a diagnostic biomarker in lung cancer by reviewing its biological function, molecular mechanisms, and clinical relevance. This study used a literature review approach by collecting relevant articles from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Keywords including “EGFR,” “lung cancer,” and “biomarker” were used to identify studies discussing EGFR expression and its diagnostic value. EGFR overexpression and mutations are frequently found in lung cancer, especially non-small cell lung cancer. Activation of EGFR triggers signaling pathways such as MAPK, PI3K, and STAT, promoting tumor proliferation and survival. Detection methods, including immunohistochemistry, PCR, and FISH, are widely used. EGFR expression has shown potential as a diagnostic biomarker and provides important information for targeted therapy. EGFR expression plays a significant role in lung cancer diagnosis and offers potential as a diagnostic biomarker. However, variations across populations and tumor subtypes require careful interpretation in clinical applications.

Abstract

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with persistently low survival rates. Bronchoscopy is an essential diagnostic procedure in patients with lung tumors and often requires anesthesia to improve comfort and procedural success. Emerging evidence suggests that anesthetic agents and techniques may influence tumor biology through modulation of immune responses and inflammatory mediators. Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β) is a multifunctional cytokine involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, immune regulation, and extracellular matrix remodeling, and plays a critical role in cancer progression. This literature review aims to evaluate current evidence regarding the effects of anesthetic agents and techniques on TGF-β levels and their implications for tumor biology in patients with lung tumors undergoing bronchoscopy. A narrative literature review approach was used to analyze scientific publications exploring the relationship between anesthesia, immune modulation, cytokine alterations, and cancer progression, particularly focusing on inhalational and intravenous anesthetics. Surgical stress and anesthetic exposure can alter immune responses through activation of neuroendocrine pathways, leading to cytokine imbalance and immunosuppression. TGF-β exhibits dual roles in cancer, acting as a tumor suppressor in early stages and a tumor promoter in advanced stages. Inhalational anesthetics may enhance tumor progression, whereas intravenous anesthetics such as propofol may have immunomodulatory effects. Anesthetic techniques may influence tumor-related pathways, including TGF-β; however, evidence remains limited and inconsistent, requiring further well-designed studies.

Abstract

Background: Elevated triglyceride levels are a recognized modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. While moderate-intensity aerobic exercise is recommended for lipid management, evidence on acute triglyceride responses following 60-Minute jogging session remains limited in Indonesian community settings. Objective: This study aimed to analyze acute changes in blood triglyceride levels following 60-Minute jogging session among community members in Ternate City, Indonesia. Methods: A quantitative pretest–posttest observational design was employed with 50 participants selected via purposive sampling. Triglyceride concentrations were measured using Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) on capillary blood immediately before and after a standardized 60-minute jogging session. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. Results: Following exercise, the proportion of participants with normal triglyceride levels (<150 mg/dL) increased from 56.0% to 70.0%. The high and very high categories decreased, with the latter reaching 0%. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test confirmed a statistically significant reduction in triglyceride levels (Z = −3.421, p < .001) with a large effect size (r = 0.48). Conclusion: A single 60-minute jogging session induces a significant acute improvement in triglyceride profiles. These findings support moderate aerobic activity as an effective, accessible non-pharmacological strategy for cardiovascular risk reduction in community health settings.
