Abstract

Cyclosporine and methylprednisolone combination are second line therapy for moderate to severe systemic lupus erythemathosus. Some study suggest that the combination were effective to decrease of systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity. But record from the study, cyclosporine cause nephrotoxicity side effect. Therefore, this study should be considered to monitore therapy effect on disease activity and renal side effect. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of cyclosporine and methylprednisolone combination therapy on disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) assessed by MEX-SLEDAI and renal side effect assessed by creatinine, ureum and proteinuria. A cohort, observational prospective study was conducted to determine the effect of cyclosporine and methylprednisolone combination therapy on disease activity of SLE and renal side effect of this combination. Patients who met criteria were given cyclosporine and methylprednisolone combination that normally renal function tests. MEX-SLEDAI score, creatinine, ureum and proteinuria were measured for fourth times (one time in one mounth), before study, 1st mounth, 2nd mounth, and 3rd mounth. The study comprised 9 patients SLE were given cyclosporine and methylprednisolone combination that normally renal function tests. All patients were female and had productive age. At 3rd mounth, there was increase patients who had MEX-SLEDAI score <2 (55,6%) and one patient (11,1%) had increase of creatinine, ureum and proteinuria. In conclusion, cyclosporine and methylprednisolone combination therapy showed the effectiveness and safety in 88,9% patients and renal dysfunction in 11,1% patients.

Abstract

Infection of the central nervous system in pediatric patients have a high mortality as well as acute and chronic neurological sequelae. Signs of the disease are unclear, so cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) test is used as a gold standard for diagnosis, but the investigation has faced many obtacles. Empiric antibiotic therapy is the key factor in reducing morbidity and mortality. Microbiological culture result is obtained within 5-7 days. The effectiveness of empirical antibiotic use is questionable. Therefore, other investigations are conducted to determine the effectiveness of antibiotics by using one marker, the CRP. This study was to analyze CRP level in supporting antibiotic therapy effectiveness in pediatric patients with central nervous system (CNS) infections. A prospective cohort study was conducted to determine the relationship of CRP with other parameters, including clinical, microbiological and laboratory, in pediatric patients with central nervous system infections. Patients meeting blood samples criteria were taken before (H0), the third day (H3) and the fifth day (H5) after antibiotics administration. This study involved 10 patients with central nervous system infections (meningoencephalitis, encephalitis and encephalitis with cerebral edema). Six patients were male, with ages less than a year. Antibiotic treatment effectiveness was associated with improved condition of the patients' CRP level. It was 3.558 ±3.196 before (H0), 3.878±2.813 on the third day (H3) and 3.891±2.204 on the fifth day (H5) after antibiotic administration. Leukocyte levels were 13.680±1.660 before (H0), 17.832±7.213 on the third day (H5), and 10.546±3.671 on the fifth day (H5) after antibiotic administration. Pearson's correlation test analysis performed on CRP and WBC parameters showed H0 p=0.981, CRP and WBC H3 p=0.621, while CRP and WBC H5 obtained significance p=0.644. There was no significant correlation observed between CRP and WBC parameters before and after antibiotic administration. In conclusion, there was no correlation of CRP levels with clinical, laboratory and micobiological parameters in patients with central nervous system infections.

Abstract

Malignant hematology patients in the hospital are particularly susceptible to infection associated with endogenous microorganism originating from their own body. The most common etiology of infection is bacteria from gastrointestinal tract. Escherichia coli is a gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacteria, and part of the intestinal normal flora. However, E. coli is the most common cause of nosocomial infection. Resistance of E. coli to antibiotics has been widely reported. The aim of this study was to identify the development of antibiotic resistant properties of Escherichia coli from rectal swab of malignant hematology pediatric patients. A descriptive study of collected secondary data on sensitivity test results was done in the hematology-oncology pediatric ward, Dr. Soetomo Hospital from October 2012 to March 2013. There were 20 results of antibiotic susceptibility testing on positive Escherichia coli cultures from rectal swabs. The highest resistance levels were found towards cotrimoxazol, ampicillin sulbactam and cefotaxime. Escherichia coli with extended-spectrum b-lactamase (ESBL) was also found. Escherichia coli from rectal swabs of malignant hematology pediatric patients were shown to be resistant to cotrimoxazol, ampicillin sulbactam and ampicillin.

Abstract

PCOS is an ovarian dysfunction syndrome which characterized by the present of unovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology. The main cause of PCOS is still unclear, but many studies report that genetic factor have a great role. There are also two big concept in PCOS, hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. Previous research by Ayaz et al (2013) has shown that metformin was given if there has been a resistance of clomiphene citrate. This study was designed to provide metformin and clomiphene citrate combination from the early administration to determine the effectiveness of the combination therapy. The objective of this study is to analyze HOMA-IR value, follicle size, and estradiol concentration after metformin and clomiphene citrate treatment in PCOS patient. Design of this study was an observational longitudinal prospective method. There was only a group with a total sample size 19 women of productive age (18-40 years) diagnosed with PCOS. The pre and post combination therapy was observed for ten weeks. Metformin 500 mg three times daily for ten weeks and clomiphene citrate 100 mg in 3rd day until 7th day of menstruation for two cycles were given to the subjects. The result showed that HOMA-IR value decrease after 10 weeks in which value before therapy was 4.9 ± 2.4 and after therapy 3.7 ± 2.2 with the achievement 21.1% HOMA-IR under 2.5. Estradiol concentration after therapy also decreased from 64.8 ± 24.7 pg/ml to 37.9 ± 17.9 pg/ml in ten weeks this concentration remained the range of the follicular phase estradiol levels. On the other hand, follicle size increased from 4.7 ± 0.6 mm to 10.7 ± 2.2 mm after combination therapy of metformin and clomiphene citrate with the occurrence of ovulation 31.6% but none of the samples were successfully pregnant. It is concluded that women with PCOS, declined HOMA-IR, estradiol, and increased follicle size was associated with a good response to combination therapy of metformin and clomiphene citrate.

Abstract

Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is often used in patients who undergo high risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures, particularly if associated with hemodynamic impairment. However, this device is still underused in this center. In this case report, a 65-year old male patient with triple vessel disease (chronic total occluded left anterior descending artery-LAD, and significant stenoses of left circumflex and right coronary arteries), low ejection fraction and preprocedure blood pressure, was reported to have IABP support applied before PCI. The intervention to penetrate the occluded LAD was not success. After procedure, the patient was observed in intensive care unit. Weaning of IABP was performed after about 30 hours usage, without complication.
