Abstract

Infertility is a problem experienced by some women and men around the world. Most infertility problems in women is caused by impaired reproductive organs or disrupted ovulation.. One factor that causes impaired oocyte maturation is wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) radiation which has a radio frequency field of 2.45 GHz. The radiation may increase the activity of free radical cells through the fenton reaction pathways that cause infertility because of the disrupted oocyte development. This study aimed to determine the effect of Wi-Fi radiation on the number of oocytes. This was an experimental study using control group design. The subjects were 32 female mice selected through complete random sampling and divided into two groups: control (R0) and exposure (R1). Each group consisted of 16 mice. The Wi-Fi radio frequency used was 2.5 GHz. Mice (R1) were placed closer to Wi-Fi source (± 15cm), and there were two types of laptop PCs and 3G mobile phones connected to internet placed next to mice for 15 hours/28 days. The mice underwent a simultaneous cycle with intraperitoneal injection of PMSG and HCG. Furthermore, the mice were mated with vasectomized male monomatingly to induce ovulation. The fertilization pouch in both oviducts were observed for oocyte collection. The number of oocytes was calculated using an inverted microscope. There was a difference in the number of oocytes between control and exposure group. Statistical tests were analyzed using Mann Whitney U and resulted in significant values (p value = 0.00). No oocytes count in exposure group. In other words, the group underwent anovulation. In conclusion, Wi-Fi radiation affected the number of oocyte stimulation in mice. Therefore, it was important to minimize the risk factors that trigger electromagnetic radiation on reproductive health.

Abstract

Filariasis is a contagious disease caused by worms of the genus Filaria which transmitted through the bite of various species of mosquitoes. In Indonesia, the existence of filariasis cases are still very concerning. Jati Sampurna and Jati Karya villages in Pondokgede Sub-district, Bekasi District, West Java have been known as filariasis endemic area. Length of stay is presumed as one of many factors that affects filariasis occurrence in those villages. This study aimed to determine the distribution of anti-filarial IgG4 on the region and its comparison with the length of stay and residence status. This study was based on secondary data. Secondary data were obtained from primary research data done by cross-sectional method. These data were used to assess the correlation of filarial infection risk factors in pregnant women living in endemic areas based on the distribution of anti-filarial IgG4 in Pondok Gede, Bekasi district, West Java. The study showed that there was an increase in anti-filarial IgG4 against residence status (p=0.017) and a positive correlation between the number of anti-filarial IgG4 with length of stay in years (p=0.003).

Abstract

Some preparation techniques, either conventional or advanced, have been provided. Advanced technique may overcome the limitations of conventional techniques. Recently, not all fertility clinics in Indonesia are able to provide advanced preparation techniques. Some techniques require expensive equipments and can only be used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Some fertility clinics use a modified procedure, namely the combination of density gradient centrifugation with a swim-up method for the preparation of the sperm to be used in ART. This study aimed to determine whether the modified density gradient centrifugation, which is density gradient centrifugation followed by a swim-up, is able to yield better results than conventional density gradient centrifugation. This study was a laboratory experimental pre and pos-test control group design. Population was all adult men aged 21-40 years old and the sampling unit was the man donor's semen which fulfilled inclusion criterias, collected during the periode of the study. Sample size was eight. Sperm analysis were done before and after preparation in conventional and modified group. Descriptive comparation analysis have been used. This study obtained NMSR 7.9+5.5 million/ejaculate and recovery rate (RR) 27.66+11.8 %. RR was lower compared to RR obtained conventional DGC method. RR might be lower because in modified DGC samples undergo two steps selection while conventional DGC only one step selection. But conventional DGC samples should be centrifuged twice, therefore sperms might experience more trauma. Lower RR sperm does not exclude the possibility to be used for ART, because still within the required number for all TRBs. In conclusion, modified DGC preparation method obtained lower NMSR and RR, nevertheless harvested sperms can still be used in all kind of ART.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a multifactorial syndrome in pregnancy whose cause is still unknown. Several proangiogenic and antiangiogenic mediators such as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Nitrite Oxide (NO) play important roles in preventing preeclampsia. VEGF can increase NO level that lowers maternal blood pressure, improves endothelial function and reduces placental hypoxia in preeclampsia. Recombinant VEGF 121 is expected to be an option in the prevention and treatment of preeclampsia. This experimental study used mice (Mus musculus) as the model. The objective of this study was to observe the effect of recombinant VEGF 121 in increasing the level of nitric oxide in mice (Mus musculus) model of preeclampsia. This was an experimental analytical study with Randomized Control Trial (RCT) design. The study enrolled 27 pregnant mice (Mus musculus) which met the restriction criteria divided into 3 groups. The first group (K1) were 9 normal pregnant mice. The second group (K2) were 9 pregnant mice of preeclampsia model without treatment. The third group (K3) were 9 pregnant mice of preeclampsia model receiving recombinant VEGF 121 therapy. The independent variable was the administration of recombinant VEGF 121 and the dependent variable was the serum NO level. Statistical analysis was performed by using anova statistics. NO level in the first group (K1) was 1.746±0.347, with minimum value of 1.00 µM, and maximum value of 2.28 µM, CI (1.479-2.013). NO level in second group (K2) was 1.167±0.380, with minimum value of 0.64 µM, and maximum value of 1.94 µM, CI (0.875-1.460). NO level in the third group (K3) was 2.164±0.556, with minimum value of 1.56 µM, and maximum value of 5.96 µM, CI (1.842-2.486). With anova statistical test, there were significant differences between K1 group and K2 group (p value=0.004<0.05), K1 group and K3 group (p value=0.000<0.05) as well as K2 group and K3 group (p value=0.029<0.05). In conclusion, Recombinant VEGF 121 increased the level of nitric oxide in mice (Mus musculus) model of preeclampsia significantly.

Abstract

Potential mechanisms of caffeine promote large artery stiffness and associated with increased morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease. To find the difference of blood pressure and arterial stiffness after intake of arabica and robusta coffee in controlled hypertension, a quasi-experimental study was done enrolling 24 controlled hypertension and 24 normotensive subjects collected by purposive sampling. Subjects received ± 10,6 g caffeinated coffee in 150 ml water with crossover protocol twice in 5 days. The assessment of arterial stiffness by obtaining ultrasound 2D image of common carotid artery then was calculated with beta stiffness index. Blood pressure and arterial stiffness was measured before coffee intake and again at 30 to 60 minutes thereafter. In controlled hypertension, significant differences were found between initial systolic blood pressure (SBP), 30 and 60 minutes after arabica (p 0,002) and robusta (p 0,012) intake; between diastolic blood pressure (DBP), 30 and 60 minutes after of arabica (p 0,004) and robusta (p 0,025) oral administration; and between initial beta stiffness index, 30 and 60 minutes after arabica (p 0,018) oral administration. However, no significant difference was found between initial beta stiffness index, 30 and 60 minutes after robusta (p 0,104) oral administration. No significant difference was found in all variables after arabica and robusta intake. Significant differences were found in blood pressure after arabica or robusta intake and in arterial stiffness after arabica intake. However, no significant differences were found in arterial stiffness after robusta intake and in all variables after arabica and robusta intake.

Abstract

There are 8.4 million diabetes adult patients in Indonesia and most remained undiagnosed. Screening process for diabetes is very important. PERKENI has recommended the use of questionnaire and Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) as risk factor screening tools. This study aimed to find out the use of PERKENI questionnaire and OGTT in adults as diabetes risk factor screening tools. This was a descriptive cross sectional study conducted in 2015 in Socah County Bangkalan. Participants (n=91) were interviewed regarding diabetes risk factor using PERKENI questionnaire. Anthropometric (height, weight, and abdominal circumference) measurements were also taken. The results were categorized into: very low risk, increased risk, moderate risk and high risk. Only those categorized as high risk were asked to take OGTT. Exclusion criteria were participants who had been diagnosed with diabetes by a physician and/or routinely taking anti diabetic medication, consumed drugs during the previous two weeks and does not finish the required procedures. From 91 eligible participants, only 9 (9.89%) were categorized as high risk. The result of OGTT were: 4 were within normal limit, 1 had impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and 4 were newly diagnosed with diabetes. The use of PERKENI questionnaire and OGTT in high risk adult population as a diabetes risk factor screening tool increased new findings of diabetes cases. Our analysis may support the adoption of diabetes risk factor screening methods through questionnaires and OGTT in high risk adult population, especially in low resource setting.

Abstract

Lead that enters the body may lead to increased production of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) that may affect reproductive system. Black cumin (Nigella sativa) extract contains high antioxidant, tymoquinone, that may be used to suppress oxidative stress induced by lead in animal experiments. This study aimed to prove that black cumin (Nigella sativa) extract improves the thickness of seminiferous tubular epithelium in Balb/c mice exposed to lead (Pb) acetate. This study used post-test only control group design. The subjects in this study were 30 Balb/c male mice (Mus musculus), divided into 5 groups. K-group: control group without lead acetate and black cumin extract, K+ group: group with 50 mg/kgBW of lead acetate for 28 days, P1 group: treatment group with 50 mg/kgBW of lead acetate for 28 days + 0.3 mg/gBW of black cumin extract for 21 days, P2 group: treatment group with 50 mg/kgBW of lead acetate for 28 days + 0.6 mg/gBW of black cumin extract for 21 days, and P3 group: treatment group with 50 mg/gBW of lead acetate for 28 days + 1.2 mg/gBW black cumin extract for 21 days. The results showed that the mean ± standard deviation of the highest thickness of seminiferous tubular epithelium was 45.80 ± 2.73 in the group that was exposed to acetate + 0.6 mg/gBW of black cumin (P2), and the lowest was 32.75 ± 4.07 in the group that was exposed to lead acetate (K+). The results were then analyzed by Anova test. The results showed that there was significant differences in the thickness of seminiferous tubular epithelium between P1, P2, P3 and K+. In conclusion, black cumin extract administration was proved to improve the thickness of seminiferous tubular epithelium in lead (Pb) acetate-exposed Balb/c mice (Mus musculus).
