Abstract

Children of primary school are particularly vulnerable to schistosomiasis because 60-70% of them with age of 5-14 years do a lot of activity outside home. The impact of schistosomiasis in children are the lack of concentration in learning, anemia, and impaired growth. This study aimed to describe the behavior of children aged 7-12 years in Puro'o and Tomado Villages in preventing the transmission of schistosomiasis and to determine the correlation between age, sex behavior community in the prevention of schistosomiasis. The study was conducted in Tomado and Puro'o villages for 3 months from March to June 2016. This was a cross sectional study. The samples in this study were children aged 7-12 years, selected by stratified multistage random cluster sampling which was done in three phases: the first phase was the villages, the second phase was the primary school in the village, and the third stage was household selected by proportional random sampling. Data were collected through interview using a structured questionnaire and the observation was analyzed using chi-square test. Respondents who had less knowledge, mostly behave defecate/urinate (80%) in latrine/WC, handwashing behavior with soap after defecating/urinating (50%), wearing footwear outside the home (86.5%), and playing in the rice fields, marshes and lakes (67.3%). Analysis of the relationship between knowledge and child's behavior showed no significant relationship (p=0.114). As a conclusion, children aged 7-12 years in Tomado and Puro'o villages mostly had less supportive behavior in preventing the transmission of schistosomiasis and had moderate or less reliable knowledge.

Abstract

Currently, the number of smokers in Indonesia is still high. Cigarette smoke contains free radicals. This study aimed to analyze the effects of purple rosella petal extract on the prevention of hepatocyte degeneration in Wistar rats exposed to cigarette smoke. Twenty male rats were divided into four groups: negative control, positive control, treatment group receiving 270 mg/kg BW purple rosella petal extract, and treatment group receiving 540 mg/kg BW purple rosella calyx extract. Negative control was only given with standard feed. Positive control was given with standard feed and exposed to 2 cigarettes a day. Treatment groups were fed with standard feed and administered with rosella extract in the morning then exposed to 2 cigarettes every day. This study was conducted for 28 days. At the end of the study, hepatocyte degeneration was observed in liver histopathology stained with hematoxilin eosin. The administration of purple rosella petal extracts in the doses of 540 mg/kgBW and 270 mg/kgBW significantly (p<0.05) prevented hepatocyte degeneration. Purple rosella petal extract is able to prevent hepatocyte degeneration in Wistar rats exposed to cigarette smoke.

Abstract

Chemotherapy/radiation in cancer patients causes cancer-related fatigue (CRF). It affects the level of independence of patients' activity of daily living (ADL). Thus, the responsibility of caregivers will be higher and it impacts on caregiver stress level. The aim of this study was to prove the effects of CRF on independence level of cancer patients and caregivers' stress level. This study used analytical associative design. The population was cancer patients and caregivers in Yayasan Kanker Indonesia in East Java. The number of samples were 30 cancer patients and 30 caregivers, taken by total sampling method. The assessment was based on instrument brief fatigue questionnaire, activity of daily living based on Katz, and caregiver stress on self assessment questionnaire. The effects of CRF on the level of independence were indicated by p=0.000, and the levels of independence of the caregiver stress level were indicated by p=0.000. As a conclusion, the failure of muscle function due to CRF can affect the independence of patient's ADL fulfilling, so caregiver should take much time to treat patient and it affects on the increased stress level of caregiver.

Abstract

There is an increase in renal cell carcinoma in males aged over fifty years with smoking risk factors. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor found in the kidneys that have an aggressive nature. This carcinoma is classified according to TNM into T1, T2, T3 and T4 stages. The higher the T stage, the worse the prognosis of the patient, as it involves the role of the HIF-1a transcription factor accumulated under hypoxic condition due to inactivation of VHL, thus activating VEGF. So far, clear cell renal cell carcinoma frequently found in smoking males of fifth decade of age or older has not been explained.. An observational analytic study was conducted on the sample of paraffin blocks of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma in 2010-2016. T1, T2, T3, and T4 stages of 9 samples, 12 samples, 12 samples and 6 samples, respectively, were collected in Anatomic Pathology Laboratory, Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya. Detection of HIF-1a and VEGF expression was performed using immunohisto-chemical immunity with HIF-1a and VEGF antibodies. The results were analyzed statistically by Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney methods. The correlation between HIF-1a and VEGF in T stages was analyzed using Spearman method. There was a difference of HIF-1a expression between stage T1 with T2, T1 with T3, T1 with T4 (p=0.041, p=0.000, and p=0.002), stage T2 with T3 and stage T2 with T4 (p=0.001, and p=0.013). There was a difference in VEGF expression in stage T1 with T2, T1 with T3, T1 with T4 (p=0.007, p=0.000, and p=0.002), and stage T2 with T3 (p=0,001). There was a correlation between HIF-1a and VEGF expressions with all T stages (rs=0.624 with p 0.000). As a conclusion, the higher the stage of T, the higher the expression of HIF-1a and VEGF. The higher the levels of HIF-1a and VEGF, the worse the prognosis of clear cell renal carcinoma. HIF-1a and VEGF play a role in the pathogenesis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Thus, HIF-1a and VEGF can be developed as prognostic markers. Increased Hif-1aAnd Vegf Expression Found In Various T Stages Of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Abstract

Indonesia is highly populated of a total 238,452,952 people with 274,396 gastritis cases. However, psychosomatic gastritis was just reported by very few patients. Because of the common gastritis cases in Indonesia and with the act of Healthcare and Social Security Agency or BPJS, so primary health cares should diagnose and manage the cases. This study aimed to determine the diagnosis and management of psychosomatic gastritis at a primary health clinic in West of Surabaya. It was a case study. It was a case on a woman aged 45 years old. She was high school graduate, married and had a child. She experienced reflux gastritis and psychiatric condition of depression and anxienty disorders. She was treated by psychiatrist at the first time and self-medicated for the gastritis. After stopping visiting the psychiatrist, she had problems of gastritis in four months. Then, she was referred to internist and examined Ultra Sonography of abdominal organs with normal result. There was a conventional method to determine psychosomatic gastritis that consicting of life styles, psychologic factor, social factor, and behavior assessment. This patient was a local migrant who struggled to gain a better life in the city, had a trigger for his father's death, had a relatively low socioeconomic state and lived in a monthly boarding house, and was a part-time worker. First-line care should establish a psychosomatic diagnosis of gastritis and treat psychological disorders together with their somatic abnormalities. Thus, the first level of health services must provide holistic services consisting of physical, psychological and social aspects.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effects of red fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam) oil on MDA levels and spermatozoa quality in mice (Mus musculus) exposed to MSG. The quality includes motility, viability, concentration, and morphology of spermatozoa. This experimental study used randomized post-test only control group design. The subjects of this study were 25 mice (Mus musculus), divided into 5 groups (5 mice per group). K- group received distilled water for 35 days. K+ group received 4 mg/g BW MSG for 21 days. P1, P2, and P3 treatment groups received 4 mg/g BW MSG for 21 days and 0.02; 0.04; 0.08 ml/g BW red fruit oil, respectively, from day 22 to 35. The results showed that mean spermatozoa morphology in K-, K+, P1, P2, P3 groups were as follows: 0.86; 0.56; 0.67; 0.61; and 0.87 (%). The spermatozoa concentrations were sequentially as follows: 21; 10; 15; 32,8,19 (107 cells/ml). The spermatozoa's vitalities were as follows: 0,64; 0,14; 0,24; P2: 0.36; 0.68 (%). MDA levels were respectively: 0.29; 0.60; 0.35; 0.23; and 0.19 (nm). As a conclusion, testicular MDA levels in mice exposed to MSG and given with red fruit oil were lower than those in mice exposed to MSG without receiving red fruit oil. The quality of spermatozoa in mice exposed to MSG and receiving red fruit oil was higher than that of mice exposed to MSG without being given with red fruit oil.

Abstract

Accurate determination of age is important in the legal process; when a person's age is unknown or must be authenticated, a forensic age identification method must be applied. One of such methods is to assess the epiphyseal closure on the bone through radiological examination. The main problem associated with the use of this method is the relevance of the reference population provided because epiphyseal closure is influenced by genetics and nutrition. This method needs data to represent each population. Radiological examination of elbow bones of 30 male patients aged 11-30 years and 18 female patients aged 14-28 years in Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya from January to April 2016 was carried out to determine the time of epiphyseal closure of the radius and ulna distal section. This was cross-sectional descriptive study. In conclusion, epiphyseal closure of proximal radius and ulna is complete at age 16 in males and 14 in females.

Abstract

Stroke is a neurological disease whose occurrence increases from year to year and causes disability and death worldwide. Stroke is caused by many factors or multicausal. This was a qualitative study conducted for one year with system design using prototype method. The prototype method began with the identification of needs, mapping, and then inference mechanism. Identification of needs was based on the literature review and discussion. The literature review from 15 sources consisting of journal articles, books and proceedings was done by comparing, contrasting, criticizing, synthesizing and summarizing. Stroke risk factor discussion were carried out with neurologists. The results of the review and literature discussion found identification of factors that cause stroke, which consisted of hypertension, high blood glucose, cholesterol, heart disease, behavioral factors, such as smoking behavior and alcoholism, stress and other causes. The risk factors of stroke were then mapped in the form of mobile application prototype through inference mechanism. The output in this study was early warning systems (E-WARS) prototype for early detection of stroke occurrence. The prototype results were expected to be used in operations into mobile applications that were beneficial to the public, in particular for self-control and personal risk factors for stroke. It was intended for early screening and early detection of the risk of stroke.

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the Gram-negative rods bacteria that frequently cause nosocomial pneumonia. One of the main virulent effector proteins on Type III secretion system (TTSS) of P. aeruginosa is Exoenzyme U ( ExoU). ExoU works as a phospholipase A2 activity and exhibits lung tissue injury effect in pneumonia. As an antibiotic that has activity against P. aeruginosa, fluoroquinolone resistance has increased as many as three fold since the last decade. Infections caused by P. aeruginosa that are fluoroquinolone resistant and positive for ExoU gene show worse clinical outcome. The aim of this study was to determine the positivity of ExoU gene TTSS and fluoroquinolone resistance of P. aeruginosa that isolated from sputum of nosocomial pneumonia patients in Sanglah Hospital, Bali. P. aeruginosa isolated from sputum of patient that diagnosed as nosocomial pneumonia, isolates had been identified phenotypically by Vitek2 Compact system (bioMérieux, Inc., Marcy-l'Etoile - France), and then continued by genotypic detection by PCR. The susceptibility testing of P. aeruginosa isolates to Ciprofloxacin were conducted by Vitek2 Compact, whereas ExoU genes were detected by PCR. Fifty-three P. aeruginosa isolates were identified in this study, in which 35 isolates (66.1%) had ExoU gene and 22 isolates (41.5%) were resistant to Ciprofloxacin. Based on nosocomial pneumonia type, the highest proportion of isolates genotipically ExoU+ and phenotypically Ciprofloxacin were on VAP group accounted for 57.1% and 54.5%, respectively. Chi-square analysis showed significant correlation between Ciprofloxacin resistance and ExoU gene (p=0.001). As a conclusion, the positivity of ExoU+ isolates were more likely found in Ciprofloxacin resistant group.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of ethanol extract of sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata) on fatty liver percentage, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) level and lipid profile of wistar strain white rat exposed to high fat diet. The study used randomized post test only control group design. Total sample was 50 male wistar strain rats (Rattus norvegicus) divided randomly into 5 groups (randomization). The normality test used was Kolmogorov Smirnov test (a=0.05). The homogeneity test used was Levene test (a=0.05). The comparative test was done using Anova test (analysis of variance) (a=0.05) or Brown-Forsythe test (a=0.05). The correlation test was done using Pearson test (a=0.05). The administration of sambiloto ethanol extract with doses of 100, 200 and 400 milligrams (mg)/kilogram (kg) body weight (BW) decreased the percentage of fatty liver (r=-0.950), SGOT (r=-0.964)/SGPT (r=(R=-0.973)/LDL (low-density lipoprotein) (r=-0.960) and increased HDL (high-density lipoprotein) levels (r=-0.923)=0.956) in white rats exposed to a high-fat diet. In conclusion, increased dose of ethanol extract of sambiloto can decrease the percentage of fatty liver, SGOT/SGPT and total cholesterol/TG/LDL and increase HDL level of white rats exposed to high fat diet.
