Abstract

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a global health concern. One of the factors causing hospital infection is related to the ability of MRSA bacteria to form biofilms. Polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA), encoded by ica gene, have an important role in S. aureus intracellular accumulation and aggregation. The aims of this study was to analyze the relationship between icaA, icaD genes and biofilm production in MRSA carrier and clinical isolate in Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. This study was an observational study using cross sectional approach. The sample was 47 MRSA isolates is as follow 28 isolates from carrier and 19 were clinical isolates. All of MRSA isolates carried mecA gene. PCR was performed to detect icaA and icaD genes. Biofilm formation was detected using microtiter plate assay (MTP). icaA gene was detected in all isolates whereas icaD gene in 96,4% carrier isolates and all (100%) of clinical isolates. Positive MTP results showed in all (100%) of carrier isolates and 57,9% of clinical isolates. Statistic result was significantly different in biofilm formation between carrier and clinical MRSA isolates. The proportion of positive biofilm formation in isolate with positive icaA/D genes was 82.6%. There was not any association between icaA and icaD gene with biofilm production.

Abstract

Blood type in saliva can be examined through bitemarks on an object left at the crime scene in a crime case as a screening test of suspected perpetrators. Saliva deposited at the bite contains glycoproteins which can carry blood type ABH antigens expressed in the salivary glands and excreted in saliva. Salivary examination is influenced by various external factors that damage saliva, one of which is the duration of exposure to room temperature in a certain period of time. This study aimed to determine differences in protein levels and blood group agglutination titers in (Pyrus bretschneideri) pear bitemark saliva during room temperature exposure within 30, 60 and 90 minutes. This type of study was experimental laboratories with time series design. The samples used were 18 pear bitemarks from 6 individuals who had blood groups A, B and AB then incubated for 30, 60 and 90 minutes. Analysis of protein content using trizol reagent was determined spectrophotometrically, while blood group examination used inhibition absorption method. Anova test showed significant difference between groups of 30 minutes exposure duration with 60 minutes and 90 minutes exposure group (P<0.05; 95% confidence interval). The Pearson correlation obtained the results of -0.739, indicating correlation that the longer exposure to room temperature, the lower the protein content. The results showed that there was a decrease in salivary protein levels and blood group agglutination titers. Salivary protein levels were still detected in the time range of 30, 60 and 90 minutes, so that blood type can still be examined from saliva in bitemarks on pear fruit.

Abstract

Colorectal cancer has became burden in the world.The latest study shows that colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in men and second most common cancer in women globally. There are difference characteristic of epidemiology in every countries. Moreover, there is no study that represents epidemiology of colorectal cancer in Indonesia yet, especially in East Java. The aim of this study was to describe colorectal tumor profile by age and gender in Gastroentero-Hepatology Center, Dr Soetomo Hospital. This study has received a certificate of Ethical Clearance No.273/Panke.KKE/IV/2015, a descriptive retrospective study. We collected data using medical records, and patients who have been colonoscopy examination and suspected colorectal tumor were included. There were 201 patients, divided to 100 males and 101 females. The peak of incidence was on 51-60 years old group, but on the 31-40 years old incidence of colorectal tumor was increased. The youngest patient was 17 years old. And tumors are more likely develop in distal area, especially in rectum. This study shows a different characteristic profile of colorectal tumor, where tumor is developed at young people and there is no significant difference between male and female for the incidence.

Abstract

Surgery is the most frequent indication and major therapy in the management of malignancy of breasts. Drain is one method to drainage the seroma formed after the modified radical mastectomy surgery. The drain-release protocol varies in each hospitals. This study aimed to compare the proportion of percutaneous aspiration in patients with early drain release with late drain release in postoperative MRM patients. The present study is a prospective cohort study comparing the proportion of percutaneous aspiration in 30 patients with early drain released with 30 patients with late drain release in Dr. Soetomo hospital The recording of the proportion of aspiration actions was conducted serially on days 3, 7, 10, and 14 after drain release. Recording of age, nutritional status (BMI), tumor histopathology type, stage, shoulder mobilization time, obliterant usage, wound infections surgery, flap necrosis and hematom were analyzed to find out if there was any effect on seroma event In our study we did not find the difference in serum aspiration proportions both in the early and late drain observation group. Age factor, nutritional status (BMI), histopathology type, stage, shoulder mobilization time, obliterant use, presence of surgical wound infection, flap necrosis and hematom did not differ significantly statistically to seroma events. Statistically, there was no difference in the proportion of percutaneous aspiration in a group of observed patients with early and late drain release. Late drain release can be avoided to potentially harm the patient in decreasing the lives' quality of the patients.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of age, sex, Body Mass Index (BMI), and nutritional status on blood pressure in class X and XI students, SMAK St. Hendrikus, Surabaya, Indonesia. The sample of students in class X and XI of SMAK St. Hendrikus Surabaya in 2013. The sample size was 150 students. The sampling technique was consecutive sampling. The independent variables were age, sex, BMI, and nutritional status, while the dependent variable was blood pressure. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation test, Spearman, and Chi Square statistical test with ?=0.05. The level of risk was calculated by epi info program. Most students (40.7%) were 16 years old, those with pre-hypertension (systolic) 26.7%, grade 1 systolic hypertension by 1.3%, diastolic pre-hypertension 25.3% and grade 1 diastolic hypertension by 6.7%. Age did not have significant influence (p=0.623) on systolic blood pressure, but had a significant influence (p=0.002) on diastolic blood pressure. Male sex significantly influenced systolic (p=0.002, RR 5.36 95% CI 2.2320-12.8649) and diastolic (p <0.001, RR 1.95 95% CI 1.1272-3 , 3719) blood pressure. BMI had significant influence (p <0.001) on blood pressure. Nutritional status had significant influence on systolic blood pressure (p=0.002), with overnutrition status with RR 2.28, 95% CI 1.3983-3.7104. Nutritional status had significant influence on diastolic blood pressure (p <0.001), and with overnutrition status with RR 2.73, 95% CI 1.8143-4.1179. In conclusion, the trend for pre-hypertension to grade 1 diastolic hypertension increases with age and age has an influence on diastolic blood pressure. The risk of males to have pre-hypertension to grade 1 systolic hypertension is 5.36 times that of females, and the risk to have pre-hypertension to grade 1 diastolic hypertension is 1.95 times that of women. The higher the BMI, the higher the systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure.

Abstract

Brain traumatic injury (BTI) is one of the causes of death and disability worldwide that affects people regardless of sex, age, income and social status, race, or nationality. In patients with brain traumatic injury, one of the problems that occurs is Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) that can produce a direct clinical effect, leading to coma and death. Adrenocorticotropin analogues (ACTH) is one of neuroprotective therapy in brain injury. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of ACTH analogue on the clinical output (Glasgow Outcome Score/GOS and Bartle Index) in patients with DAI at hospital discharge, 3 months and 6 months post-treatment. This study revealed that ACTH analogue administration resulted in higher GOS and Barthel Index scores than that in control. Further study will required with other variables, such as cognitive and motor examination, and some biomarkers can also be examined serially.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the elevation of osteoblast activity in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in osteogenic medium by physiological doses of melatonin administration by measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin level.This studyused BM-MSCs from Rattusnorvegiccus femur bone. Rat BM-MSCs were cultured in a-Mem medium, differentiated in osteogenic medium, and administrated melatonin up to 21 days. This study was divided into 4 groups, K0 (control group), K1 (administrated of 25 nM melatonin), K2 (administrated of 50 nM melatonin), and K3 (administrated of 100 nM melatonin). Rat BM-MSCs were characterized CD 45- and CD 105+ marker using imunocytochemistry analysis and stained with Alizarin red after 15 days treatment. ALP and osteocalcin level were measured using ELISA Kit in days 21st.There weren't differences ofALP level beetwen groups and there are differences ofosteocalcin level between control groups (K0) withK1, K2, dan K3, and beetwen K1 and K2. The conclusion of this study was that there were an elevation of osteoblast activity in rat BM-MSCs in osteogenic medium by physiological doses of melatonin administration characterized by the elevation of osteocalcin level.

Abstract

Highlights: • A genetic variable has been identified as an atrial fibrillation risk factor. • Rs2200733 is a type of SNP that increases atrial fibrillation risk, whereas rs3853445, rs6838973, and rs17570669 have the reverse effect. Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a highly prevalent arrhythmia. The involvement of molecular mechanisms in increased AF risk remains uncertain. However, the paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2 or pituitary homeobox 2 (PITX2) gene has been linked to AF development. A comprehensive search was carried out to identify all eligible case-control studies in order to assess the association between five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PITX2 gene and the risk of AF. This meta-analysis employed the Review Manager (RevMan) software version 5.3 (Cochrane). There were 13 clinical studies, with a total of 11,961 subjects, that met the inclusion criteria. These subjects consisted of 4,440 patients with AF and 7,521 controls. The meta-analysis of five SNP types in the PITX2 gene was done using crude odds ratios (ORs). This revealed that rs2200733 increased the risk of AF (OR=1.80; 95% CI=1.53-2.11; p=0.0005; I2=80%). On the other hand, the other three SNPs decreased the risk of AF, namely, rs385344 (OR=0.75; 95% CI=0.59-0.95; p=0.002; I2=85%), rs6838973 (OR=0.64; 95% CI=0.51-0.81; p=0.0001; I2=73%), and rs17570669 (OR=0.80; 95% CI=0.65-0.98; p=0.03; I2=70%). However, there was no significant association between rs10033464 and AF (OR=1.21; 95% CI=0.97-1.50; p=0.13; I2=83%). In conclusion, depending on the type, SNPs in the PITX2 gene correlate with AF risk factors, either by alleviating or reducing the risk.

Abstract

This study was to approve the increased secretion of Hsp 70, DNA damage, and inhibitor apoptosis protein in cisplatin therapy which influence apoptosis of oral cancer cell and to know mechanism of molecular pathology. This study was an in vitro experimental laboratory using Randomized Block Design. Cell culture of oral cancer divided from cisplatin resistance cancer cell and cancer cell never induce cisplatin. Two group of cancer cell would be given cisplatin therapy. Secretion of Hsp 70, DNA damage, Inhibitor of apoptosis protein, and apoptosis index would be examined. Cisplatin resistance cancer cell group showed lower apoptosis than never induce cisplatin cancer cell. Elevated secretion of Hsp 70 in cisplatin therapy group (p= 0.000, b=0.881). Lower secretion of DNA damage protein in cisplatin resistance cancer cell and it was not going apoptosis. In path regression analysis, cisplatin was significans through IAP pathway (p=0.000, b=0.726) to apoptosis. All type of cell cultures were also significans through IAP pathway (p=0.000, b=0.496) to apoptosis. Elevated IAP secretion influenced apoptosis (b= 1.000). In conclusion, cisplatin used IAP pathway to apoptosis. All type of cell cultures also used IAP pathway to apoptosis. Cisplatin resistance cell culture had stronger effect to IAP and IAP increased inhibition to apoptosis.

Abstract

Highlights: 1. A questionnaire, comprising various risk factors associated with food allergies, is anticipated to provide reliable indications for determining the necessity of restrictive diets for patients within primary healthcare settings. 2. Over time, the findings of this study can facilitate the development of a streamlined and cost-effective diagnostic tool, which will be particularly beneficial in remote regions due to its practical and efficient means of identifying food allergies. Abstract In Gresik, Indonesia, limited resources have led to challenges in accurately diagnosing food allergies. This study aimed to identify risk factors for food allergies among children in Gresik using a questionnaire-based approach. The study's ultimate goal was to develop a simple diagnostic tool in primary healthcare settings. Conducted at Petrokimia Gresik Hospital, this cross-sectional study enrolled children aged ≥6 months experiencing respiratory symptoms or atopic dermatitis for ≥1 week. The subjects (n = 247) underwent a two- to four-week restrictive diet for diagnostic purposes. The questionnaire demonstrated validity and reliability. Bivariate statistical analyses were performed to examine the correlations between risk factors and the incidence of food allergies (p < 0.05). A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to establish the cut-off values for the number of food allergies and atopic family members. The majority of the 247 children enrolled in this study were 6 to 12 years old. Respiratory symptoms (56.3%) were more common than atopic dermatitis (38.1%). The significant risk factors for food allergies included atopic dermatitis (p = 0.001; R = 0.203), previous history of suspected food allergies (p < 0.001; R = 0.747), and atopy in the family (p = 0.013; R = 0.157). The ROC curve analysis established the cut-off values for the number of atopic family members at 1.5 (p = 0.005; 95% CI 0.53-0.67) and the number of food allergies at 0.5 (p = 0.000; 95% CI 0.85-0.94). In conclusion, children are considered at risk of food allergies if they display persistent respiratory symptoms or atopic dermatitis, considering the history of suspected food allergies even to only one specific type of food.
