Abstract

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan with a straight-chain polymer arrangement defined as the extracellular matrix constituent. High molecular weight HA has normal physicochemical, biological, and physiological properties whereas low molecular weight has the property of angiogenesis, inflammation, and suppresses apoptosis. This study occupied the samples of 35 paraffin block from poorly and well differentiated retinoblastoma tissue and 8 normal retinal block which have been collected for 4 years from 2010-2013 at Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. Afterwards, the paraffin blocks were immunohistochemically examined for HA staining, expression of cell proliferation (Ki-67), and cell apoptosis to determine intratumoral aggressiveness of retinoblastoma. HA on poorly differentiated retinoblastoma stain with a high immunostaining of 76.2%, while well differentiated retinoblastoma on the highest HA staining was revealed to be at moderate level of 64.3%, and not appear in normal retina. In poorly differentiated retinoblastoma, the location of most HA stain is in the cell cytoplasm (87.5%). In the well differentiated retinoblastoma, the HA immunostaning mainly occurred in the cell membrane (73.7%). Histopathological retinoblastoma grading showed a significant correlation (p <0.01) towards several variables of HA immunostaining, Ki-67, and cell apoptosis. In addition, the histopathological retinoblastoma grading also revealed a significant correlation (p <0.01) towards the location of HA staining (cell membrane and cytoplasm). Both stainings are also play role in retinoblastoma differentiation. The malignancy of retinoblastoma can be proven by the increased HA staining at cytoplasm in poorly differentiated and associated with increased of cell proliferation along with decreased apoptosis.

Abstract

Every year, there are 500.000 new cases and more than 250.000 deaths caused by cervical cancerworldwide. Cervical cancer patients faced physical and psychological problems several times that it activate stress mechanism such as hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. These recurrent activations caused HPA axis disruption and adverse clinical effects. Several symptoms of endocrine stress response are the change of circadian cortisol rhythm. Cortisol is known as a stress hormone that involves an organism's response to stress and anxiety that influence the quality of life. This research aims to analyze the differences among serum cortisol level, anxiety, and quality of life in cervical cancer patients before and after psychocurative intervention in obstetrics and gynecology wards and polyclinic in RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta. This research is an experimental double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial pre-test post-test group design study. The subjects were advance stage (IIB-IV)cervical cancer patients. The subjects were randomly chosen into fifteen subjects that given standard therapy and psychocurative, while the other fifteen subjects as a control only got standard therapy. Data were obtained from measurement of serum cortisol level, anxiety questionnaire DASS 42 and WHO quality of life questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21 using difference test. The difference mean test result of cortisol serum level, anxiety, quality of life from the controlled group and uncontrolled group showed a significant difference (p < 0.05). In conclusion, psychocurative is significant to reduce cortisol level, anxiety, and improve the quality of life in advanced stage cervical cancer patients.

Abstract

Ethanol extract of leaves and petiole of pegagan (Centella asiatica) is potential as antimicrobial and antifertility. This study was to investigate whether ethanol extracts of leaf and petiole of Centella asiatica has potential as an antimicrobial and can decrease sperm quality and spermatogenic cells of mice. This was a randomized controlled study using Centella asiatica plant from which we made ethanol extract. The extract of the leaves and petiole of Centella asiatica was subjected to antimicrobial test using the bacteria S. aureus, S. epidermidis, and A. aerogenes. Then the observation was done after a 24-hour-old bacterial cultures by measuring the diameter of the clear zone in mm. Thereafter, the extract was given to randomly grouped mice that were divided into two groups receiving the leaf extract in one group and the petiole exract in another for 35 days. On day 36 the mice were sacrificed for spermatozoa quality and testicular histology examination. Statistical analyses used in this study were ANOVA and LSD tests. There was inhibition zone difference between leaf and petiole (p=0.000). Inhibition zone between bacteria S. epidermidis, S. aureus and A. aerogenes showed no difference (p=0.198). Inter-dose inhibition zone showed difference (p=0.000). Centella asiatica leaf extract showed inhibition zone better than that of Centella asiatica petiole extract. In spermatozoa quality test, there was effect of Centella asiatica leaf extract on sperm motility (p<0.05), viability (p<0.05), morphology (p<0.05) and concentration (p<0.05). No effect of pegagan petiole extract was found on sperm motility (p<0.05), viability (p<0.05), abnormal morphology (p<0.05) and concentration (p<0.05). Highest degradation of spermatozoa quality was obtained from Centella asiatica petiole extract at a concentration of 150 mg/kg bw. Spermatogenic cell test results showed no effect of Centella asiatica leaf extract in decreasing spermatogonia (p=0.000), spermatocytes (p=0.000), and spermatids (p=0.000) counts. No effect of pegagan petiole extract in decreasing the number of spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids. The highest reduction spermatogenic cells of seminiferous tubules was obtained by Centella asiatica petiole extract in a concentration of 150 mg/kg bw. In conclusion: Centella asiatica leaf and petiole extract has antimicrobial potency as contra-ceptives

Abstract

Plague disease remains a public health problem in the world. According to the International Health Regulations (IHR), an outbreak is an infectious disease that has the potential to cause an outbreak. The purpose of this study was to analyze a significant relationship between human behavior and the environment with the density of the number of rats in the focus, threatened and outbreak-safe areas in Tutur Regency, Pasuruan Regency, in 2016. This was an observational analytic study with cross correlation sectional where the research variables are population behavior, environment, and the number of rat densities observed once at a time. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between the behavior (knowledge, attitude, and practice) of the population with the density of rats in the focus area of the Surorowo hamlet outbreak, in the endangered outbreaks of the Ngaro hamlet, and in the outbreak-safe area of the North Ngandong hamlet in Tutur District. Whereas, there is a significant relationship between environmental conditions and the amount of rat density in the focus area of the outbreak of the Surorowo hamlet (p: 0.047 or p <0.05), the threatened area of the Ngaro hamlet (p: 0.036 or p <0.05), and at outbreak-safe areas in Andong Utara hamlet (p: 0.047 or p <0.05). Conclusion: Environmental conditions are associated with the amount of rat density either in the outbreak, in focus, threatened, or in safe areas. That it is necessary to control environmental risk factors to reduce the amount of rat density.

Abstract

Evaluations on Plasma Prothrombin Time (PPT) and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) are required in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stage V to determine the risk of bleeding after hemodialysis (HD) using heparin as the anticoagulant. This study aimed to compare the results of PPT and APTT in pre and post-hemodialysis patients with minimum dose of heparin. This was an observational-analytical study with cross-sectional design. The samples were collected in HD wards of Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya. There were 50 PPT and APTT samples collected from June to August 2017. The samples were evaluated using the tool CoaDATA 501. The examination of coagulation study was conducted in Clinical Pathology Laboratory of Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya. Paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were performed in this study. In the 50 samples, pre-hemodialysis PPT ranged between 10.2-17.6 with the mean of 12.6±2.03 seconds, while for post-hemodialysis, the range was 10.1-20.9 with the mean of 13.41±2.43 seconds. Pre-hemodialysis APPT ranged between 19.5-75.2 with the mean of 30.32±10.43 seconds, while in post hemodialysis the range was 22.21-175 with the mean of 37.52±26.40 seconds. The results of PTT evaluation in pre and post-HD showed no significant difference (p=0.083), while those of APTT showed a significant difference (p=0.035 or p<0.05). Prolongation of APTT in post-HD is due to the use of heparin as an anticoagulant that increases PPT and APTT by inhibiting antithrombin III. HD procedures cause decreased activity of coagulation factors II, IX, X, XII leading to APTT prolongation in post-HD. A significant APTT prolongation was found in post-HD patients with CKD V.

Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the presence of icaA and icaD genes in S. epidermidis and to analyze the relationship between the presence of icaA and icaD genes with the ability of in vitro biofilm formation in S. epidermidis. S. epidermidis isolates from patients and healthy people were collected and PCR was examined to detect icaA and icaD genes. which then continued to examine the ability of biofilm formation by the method of Congo Red Agar. The results of this genotypic and phenotypic examination were then tested for correlation with statistical tests using SPSS 23.0. A total of 40 S. epidermidis isolates were collected, consisting of 20 clinical isolates and 20 isolates of normal flora. The icaA gene was positive in 5 isolates (12.5%), and 8 isolates (20%) were positive for the icaD gene, 3 isolates with icaA and icaD were both positive. One hundred percent of isolates with icaA or icaD positively formed biofilms, but there were 15 isolates (42.9%) who did not have the icaA gene but showed the ability to form biofilms, while 12 isolates (37.5%) who did not have the icaD gene also formed biofilms. Fifty percent of S. epidermidis isolates showed the ability to form biofilms at CRA. The Fisher Exact test showed a significant relationship between the icaA gene and the ability of biofilm formation (p=0.047 (p<0.05)) as well as the icaD gene (p=0.03 (p<0.05)). The icaA and icaD genes have a significant relationship to biofilm formation in S. epidermidis. There was another mechanism in the formation of biofilms that are not dependent on the ica gene.

Abstract

Dentigerous cysts are cysts of the epithelial lining of the jaws derived from the dental follicle of unerupted teeth. These cysts are often found during routine radiographic examination along with unerupted teeth. Dentigerous cysts are usually asymptomatic unless the size becomes large, thus causing swelling. This case report describes the management of dentigerous cyst in the upper left canine region with canine impaction to the orbital floor. Dentigerous cyst was treated with cyst enucleation but the impacted canine was not taken because of the magnitude of risk that can occur which was a disruption to the eye muscle. Conclusion. Treatment of dentigerous cysts can be performed by enucleation technique and management related the impacted tooth at the orbital floor needs a further evaluation consideration.

Abstract

Menopausal period is the period of permanent cessation of menstruation due to reduced or lost ovarian activity. One of the effects of decline estrogen levels during menopause is atropic vulvovaginitis. Consumption of phytoestrogens can reduce menopausal symptoms. Phytoestrogen is found in vegetables and fruits such as tomatoes and red melon. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of red melon juice and tomato on the increase of vaginal wall thickness in menopausal rats. This study revealed an alternative of phytoestrogen sources that is more effective to reduce menopausal symptoms, especially those related to vaginal atrophy to improve the quality of life of menopausal women. Subjects of this study were 27 ovariectomized Wistar strain Rattus norvegicus which were s divided into 3 groups randomly, one control group and two treatment groups with tomato juice and red melon juice at a dose of 330 mg/kgBW/day administered for 28 days. The variable of this study were the thickness of the vaginal wall which was precipitated by Hematoxiline Eosine. The highest vaginal wall thickness was found in the treatment group of red melon juice of 879.89 ± 70.52 µm and the lowest of the control group (K) of 643.3 ± 58.33 µm. The results of Anova test showed that there was a significant difference between control group and treatment groups, the tomato juice and red melon juice with a dose of 330 mg/kgBW/day, so it can be concluded that red melon juice with a dose of 330mg/Kg BW/day has the best effect in increasing the thickness of vaginal wall of menopausal rats as compared with tomato juice.

Abstract

Bone is an important organ for supports the body that stores reserve of calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals. In fracture conditions where bleeding, soft tissue edema, nerve damage, and blood vessels around the bone damage happen, they can cause the mobilization of these minerals in the surrounding tissue. One of the efforts made in the treatment of these fractures is reconnection, in which it works by filling of bone defect with a matrix and administration of anti-infection. Biomaterial filling in defective bone is thought to accelerate the healing process of bone fracture and prevent osteomyelitis. For this reason, this study evaluates the acceleration of bone fracture healing using natural hydroxyapatite (NHA) bone filler in rabbits with bone defect model. Fracture modeling was performed by surgical technique and drilling of bones with a 4.2 mm diameter to form a defect in the rabbit femur. Bone implant contained bovine hydroxyapatite-gelatin-glutaraldehyde (BHA implant) or bovine hydroxyapatite-gelatin-glutaraldehyde-gentamicin (BHA-GEN implant) that was inserted in bone defects. 27 rabbits were divided into 3 groups: the control group who had bone defect, the bone defect group was given BHA implant and the bone defect group was given BHA-GEN implant. Observation of osteoclast, osteoblast, osteocyte, BALP level, and bone morphological integrity was carried out on the 14th, 28th, and 42nd days after surgery. Histological observation of rabbit femur showed a significant difference on the number of osteoclast, osteoblast and osteocyte in all three groups. The BALP level also showed a significant difference in the group given the natural BHA bone implant compared to the control group on day 14 (p = 0.0361). Based on the result of the X-ray, there was also a better integration of rabbit femur bone in groups with the use of BHA or BHA-GEN bone implant. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of a natural BHA implant can accelerate the process of bone repair in the fracture of rabbit femur. In addition, BHA implants were compatible as a matrix for supporting the bone cell growth.
