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

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

Highlights: • The effectiveness of vaccination through the kinetics of the antibody response to the SARS-COV-2 vaccine administration by examining IgG S-RBD levels was aimed. • Two doses of the Sinovac vaccine formed antibodies in healthy individuals in the first 3rd month after vaccination. • An S-RBD IgG antibody in the 6th-month post-vaccination was significantly different between groups without a history and groups with a history of infection with COVID-19. Abstract: Since it was declared a pandemic in early 2020, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) has caused high morbidity and mortality in the world. In view of the urgency of the situation, vaccination efforts are needed to break the chain of disease transmission. Various types of vaccines have been successfully developed and obtained approval for emergency use. However, the effectiveness of these vaccines, both in the short and long term, has not been fully known. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of vaccination through the kinetics of the antibody response to the administration of the SARS-COV-2 vaccine by examining IgG S-RBD levels. This study was an observational analytic study with a prospective cohort approach carried out between January and November 2021 at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. Fifty health workers who received Sinovac vaccination in as many as 2 doses underwent venous blood taking and measurement of quantitative S-RBD antibody level. Then, quantitative S-RBD IgG antibody levels were measured and recorded in each subject. The mean S-RBD IgG antibody was found to have fluctuation. The titer was found to significantly increase on day 14 and dropped significantly in month 3 (p <0.001). There was a significant difference in S-RBD IgG levels 6 months after vaccination between Covid-19 uninfected groups and Covid-19 infected groups (p <0.001). In a conclusion, two doses of the Sinovac vaccine formed antibodies, although humoral immunity obtained tended to decrease in 3rd month after vaccination to healthy individuals. The average level of S-RBD IgG antibody in the sixth month post-vaccination was found to be significantly different between groups without history and groups with a history of with infection COVID-19.

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

Pain is the most common complaints in everyday practice. Pain is a clinical manifestation caused by stimuli due to potential tissue damage. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) has been used in reducing pain. One of indicator tissue healing is activation of transforming growth factor -b1(TGF-b1). Tissue healing will eliminate the pain. Do LLLT stimulate TGF-b1 expression? The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of TGF-b1 in low level laser therapy. Thirty male Wistar rats, body weight 250 – 300 gram, 3 month old, were divided into 3 groups, negative control (n=10), positive control (n=10) and treatment groups (n=10). The positive control and treatment groups were injected with Complete's Freund Adjuvant (CFA) 100 mL at left footpad. The treatment group treated with low level laser therapy Lasermed type 2100 wavelength 905 nm, out power 25-500 mW, dose 1 joule/cm2;5 times with interval 24 hours on left footpad. Samples were taken from the skin of footpad and immunohistochemical examination with monoclonal antibody anti- TGF-b1. Calculations carried out on brown reaction in macrophage cell. Data were analyzed using the Games Howell with SPSS 17. There were significant differences in the expression of TGF-b1 in treatment group (15.8±3.1) compared with the positive control group (3.9±1.1) and negative control group (4.6±2.1). There were no significant differences between expression TGF-b1 in positive control group and negative control group. In conclusion, low level laser therapy increased the expression of TGF-b1.

Abstract

Indonesia has a variety of herbal plants used as herbal/traditional medicines. Singawalang (Petiveria alliacea) is one of the herbal plants usually used in the United States as a cough medicine because of its expectorant effect. Singawalang plants are also widely used to cure tuberculosis. However, the investigations on the effects of toxicity on this plant leaf extract has not been done. This study aims to investigate the effects of active compounds in singawalang against Mycobacterium tuberculosis using a variety of solvents. The active compound of ethanol extract was obtained by maceration using ethanol solvent. The extract was then fractionated using column chromatography method, and using gradual eluent to produce fraction. The doses used were 0.5 mg/ml; 1 mg/ml; 2 mg/ml; 70% ethanol, h-hexane, benzene, chloroform, ethylacetate, silica gel 60GF254, Middlebrook 7H9, and 7H10. The reactions using Singawalang leaf extract with various solvents resulted in a reduction of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis colony growth, compared with the reaction on control treatment, treatment using DMSO 1%, and treatment using 70% ethanol. As a conclusion, the various solvents used did not make a significant difference. However, control treatment, treatment using DMSO 1%, and treatment using 70% ethanol had significant results.

Abstract

Folic acid contains 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), one of antioxidants that can be used to inhibit reaction caused by cigarette smoke exposure. Folic acid is able to inhibit the levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) so as to reduce the occurrence of neuronal apoptosis. The objectives of this study was to determine the effect of folic acid intake during pregnancy whose mother was exposed to cigarette smoke on brain neurons apoptosis index and quantity of mice (Mus musculus) offspring. This study was an experimental laboratory study with posttest-only control group design. The subjects were 24 female mice divided into 4 groups consisting of one control group and three treatment groups. Sampling used simple random sampling, each group consisting of 6 animals. Control group 1 was not given treatment during pregnancy, group 2 was given with folic acid orally on days 0-17 of gestational age as much as 0.06 mg/day/mice. Group 3 was given with cigarette smoke exposure on days 7-17 of gestational age, amounting to 2 cigarettes/day. Group 4 was given with cigarette smoke exposure on days 7-17 of gestational age, amounting to 2 cigarettes/day and folic acid orally on days 0-17 of gestational age as much as 0.06 mg/day/mice. The result showed significant differences in all variables. In neurons apoptosis index, there were significant differences between groups 1 and 3, groups 2 and 3, groups 3 and 4, significant differences in the quantity of neurons between groups 1 and 3, groups 2 and 3, groups 2 and 4. The study concluded that there were significant difference in neural apoptosis index between all groups, and there were also significant differences in the quantity of neurons between all groups.

Abstract

Methyldopa is the main antihypertensive drug widely used in pregnant women with hypertensive disorder. It lowers blood pressure in pre-eclampsia by affecting a2-adrenoreceptors in central nervous system. However, it also decreases the production of proangio-genic factors that involved in the pathophysiology of hypertension in pre-eclampsia. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is one of proangiogenic and mitogenic factor that important for vasodilatation. VEGF is produced by the placenta and affected after treatment with methyldopa. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of methyldopa on VEGF maternal circulating level as a proangiogenic factor in severe pre-eclampsia patients who were hospitalized at Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Haji Hospital, Surabaya. This study was performed by cohort prospective observational method on August to October 2016.The data was assessed at before and 48 hours after methyldopa therapy. The study was approved by the ethical committee of Haji Hospital, Surabaya. There were 19 patients with severe pre-eclampsia who met inclusive criteria. The results showed that levels of VEGF before and 48 hours after 250 mg methyldopa therapy were 1178.37(281.97-3567.28) pg/mL and 1055.17 (129.79-4272.66) pg/mL, respectively. VEGF levels in severe pre-eclampsia patients were 1194.29 (175.68-3432.01) pg/mL at before treatment and 510.66 (214.34-1236.16) pg/mL after treatment with methyldopa 500 mg therapy. In conclusion, methyldopa could decrease VEGF level on severe pre-eclampsia patients, with a decrease of 10% at the dose of 250 mg and 57% at the dose of 500 mg.

Abstract

This review examined the homeostasis of uric acid in human body and analyzed recent studies of the affecting major variables. Normal uric acid concentration in male is 3.5-7.2 mg/dL and in female is 2.6-6 mg/dL. Daily turnover of normal uric acid ranges from 498-1392 mg/day, miscible pool is 767-1650 mg, reabsorption is 8064 mg/day, renal excretion is 262-620 mg/day and intestine 186-313 mg/day. The dynamics of uric acid is influenced by factors of food, drink, age, history of disease, and genetic. High purine dietary consumption increases blood uric acid by 1-2 mg/dL, 213-290 g/day fructose drinks increases 0.52-1.7 mg/dL, 1.5 g/kgBW sucrose increases 0.61 mg/dL, and 10-20 ml/kgBW beer increases 0.50-0.92 mg/dL. The ABCG2 gene plays a role in bringing uric acid out of the body by 114.31-162.73 mg/dL, SLC2A9 of 5.43-20.17 mg/dL, and SLC22A12 of 5.77-6.71 mg/dL. The data described the homeostasis of uric acid and the magnitude of the impact of environmental (consumption of food, beverages, and lifestyle) and genetic factors. Understanding uric acid homeostasis and its disturbances is important in managing diseases as a consequence of hyperuricemia and hypouryscemia
