Abstract

Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide after heart disease. About80% stroke cases are ischemic stroke. One of 4 people with ischemic stroke had cardioembolicstroke. Ninety percent of cardiac emboli obstruct cerebral blood vessels and causedneurological deficit. Cardioembolic stroke may be due to abnormalities in cardiac walls,rhythm, valve, or function. Stroke patients with cardiac abnormalities have poor prognosis. Thisretrospective descriptive study was done in May-June 2017. We collected 103 medical recordsof stroke patients from Department of Neurology, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital duringJanuary 2015- March 2016. Data regarding sex, age, education level, economic status, andcardiac abnormalities were recorded. Majority of subjects were female (53.4%). The mostfrequent age group was 45-65 years old (49.51%). Most subjects had low educational level(76.7%) and low economic status (77.67%). Among subjects, 41.75% had cardiac rhythmabnormalities, 29.13% had cardiac wall abnormalities, 14.56% had cardiac valveabnormalities, and 14.56% had cardiac function abnormalities. The most common cause ofcardioembolic stroke was atrial fibrillation.Keywords: cardioembolic stroke epidemiology, patient characteristics, cardiac disease

Abstract

Obesity is a condition of excess and abnormal fat accumulation. Obese adolescents are atgreater risk of developing iron deficiency anemia with microcytic hypochromic red blood cells(RBC). Iron deficiency in obesity relates to low iron intake, abnormal iron absorption, andincreased iron utilization. The aim of this study was to determine iron intake, hemoglobin level,and RBC indices in faculty of medicine students with obesity. We used descriptive cross-sectional method, involving year of 2016 students in Faculty of Medicine PadjadjaranUniversity with obesity. Pregnant women and students with previous history of thallasemia oranemia were excluded. Iron intake was assessed using Food Frequency Questionnaire.Hemoglobin level and RBC indices were measured in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. Ironintake of male subjects were adequate in 62,5% subjects and low in 37,5% subjects. Iron intakein female subjects were adequate in 20% subjects and low in 80% subjects. Male hemoglobinlevel were normal and 20% of female subjects had anemia. All male subjects were normochromnormocytic, 40% female subjects were hypochrom microcytic.Keywords: adolescents, hemoglobin level, iron intake, obesity, red blood cell indices

Abstract

Free radical plays role in wound healing. This study was conducted to determinedifferences in level of plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), and histopathological score of woundhealing by administering zinc in old and young mice. We used 24 old mice and 24 young miceincision wound model, randomized into two groups, with and without zinc administration. Wefound plasma MDA level was lower in old mice with zinc administration but not statisticallysignificant. The plasma MDA level was significantly higher by administering zinc in young mice(p=0.004). The plasma MDA level of young mice was higher than old mice in zincadministration group (p=0.010). Reepitelialization, inflammatory cells, fibroblasts andangiogenesis did not differ by administering zinc both in old mice and young mice.Reepitelialization, inflammatory cells and angiogenesis did not differ between old and youngmice in mice that were given zinc; while fibroblast of young mice is more than old mice(p=0.010). We concluded  plasma MDA level is higher in young mice with zincadministration. Plasma MDA level in young mice is higher than old mice with zincadministration. Young mice with zinc administration have higher fibroblast than oldmice.Keywords: aging, free radical, histopathologic score, malondialdehid, wound healing, zinc

Abstract

Cancer is a disease that can threaten human life. Various methods of cancer therapy havebeen widely practiced, one of which is chemotherapy. But the cost used for the therapy is alsovery expensive. This difficulty led many researchers to conduct research to find activecompounds from natural materials. Moringa leaf (Moringa oleifera) has cytotoxic activity,because it contains a lot of flavonoids. Flavonoids are polyphenol compounds produced fromsecondary metabolism in plants. The most flavonoids that are anticancer active substances inthe Moringa leaf are quercetin, kaempferol and myricetin. Cytotoxic activity because theseactive substances can induce apoptosis through intrinsic pathways by inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2), c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase 1 (JNK), and protein kinase C (PKC).Keywords: Moringa leaf, quersetin; kaempferol; myricetin; anticancer

Abstract

Meningioma is an intracranial tumor that generally involves meninges. This tumor canbe found along the dura layers at the skull base. Meningioma has vast vascularization from thearteries near dura attachment. Pre-operative embolization technique is an effective strategy toprevent intra-operative complications and better outcomes. The patient was a 24 year-oldwoman who has been complaining of headaches since 2 months ago. The CT Scan resulted in a12 x 9 x 7 cm isodense mass in the left temporoparietal enhanced homogenously by contrast.Pre-operative embolization was performed on the tumor feeding artery as a strategy to preventintra-operative blood loss. A left frontotemporosphenoidal craniotomy was performed 10 daysafter embolization to remove the tumor. A complete resection was successfully achieved withless intraoperative blood loss and without complication. The pathology examination resulted inmeningotheliomatous meningioma. A follow-up picture showed no recurrent tumor afterresection and the patient had no symptoms and neurological deficits until 6 months after thesurgery. In conclusion, meningioma is a common intracranial tumor with a lot of blood supply.However, tumor resection can be safely and efficaciously performed with good pre-operativestrategy.Keywords: brain tumor, embolization, meningioma, resection, skullbase

Abstract

Laryngeal carcinoma is a squamous cell malignancy of larynx epithelial with the Indonesian incidence of 2.0 per 100,000 men and 0.2 per 100,000 women. The risk factors of laryngeal carcinoma include age, sex, family history, smoking habit, alcohol drink, and gastroesophangeal reflux disease (GERD)/ laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). This study aimed to know some risk factors for laryngeal carcinoma mentioned in Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung. Hospital-based unmatched case control study was selected as the methods, involving 80 patients in Oncology Clinic of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Department, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. The medical records of the carcinoma larynx patients was taken as a study instrument. The results were age percentage of 50-79 years old in the case group is 82.5% therefore, it increase the risk of having laryngeal carcinoma by 7.29 times. Male respondents dominate in the case group (90%) with OR =6.00. Respondents with GERD in the case group is 45%, increasing the risk 15.54 times and these results was significant (p<0.005). Other analyzed variables, such as family history, smoking history, and alcohol consumption is not significant statistically (p>0.005). This study shows the results of age, sex, and GERD/LPR are corresponding with the results with previous studies. Otherwise, the results of smoking, alcohol, and family history are not. Therefore, old age, male sex, and GERD increase the risk of having laryngeal carcinoma.
