Abstract

BACKGROUND Obesity may be associated with declined food consumption control through neurological and behavioral processes, as well as heightened responsiveness of the brain’s reward systems. Performing neuroimaging and neurophysiological methods such as electroencephalography (EEG) can examine the connection between brain function and behavior. This study aimed to identify brain regulation of feeding behavior to food cues, which could be a potential neuromodulatory intervention target in adult obesity. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, involving 40 adults with obesity. EEG analysis was performed to measure electrophysiological brain activity during eyes-open condition and during exposure to high-calorie food cues. Student’s t-tests were performed to identify any significant differences between the groups (p<0.05). RESULTS Beta waves in the frontal (channel F7) and gamma waves in the central (channels C3 and C4) and parietal (channels P3 and P4) regions were significantly increased during food cues compared to resting state/eyes-open condition without stimulation. Theta waves in the frontal (channels F7 and F8), central (channel C3), and parietal (channels P3 and P4) regions and alpha waves in the central (channels C3 and C4) and parietal (channels P3 and P4) regions were significantly decreased during food cues compared with resting state. CONCLUSIONS In adults with obesity, increased beta activity in the frontal and gamma in the central and parietal regions suggested increased food-cue awareness and heightened attentional focus toward food stimuli. Additionally, decreased alpha and theta activities in frontal regions could underline deficits in executive functions and higher motivation.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Causes of death and length of hospitalization in patients with COVID-19 have been associated with coagulopathy. The coagulopathy mechanism involves the process of coagulation and endothelial damage triggered by an inflammatory response of the SARS-CoV-2 infection due to excessive release of proinflammatory cytokines. This study aimed to determine the association of coagulation factors as potential predictors of COVID-19 patient outcomes. METHODS This retrospective study was performed on 595 patients at Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar, from June 2020 to June 2021. Participants were recruited using total sampling and assessed for COVID-19 severity using the World Health Organization classification and coagulation factors (D-dimer, fibrinogen, thrombocyte, and prothrombin time [PT]). Patient outcome assessments were survival and length of hospitalization. RESULTS We found a significant sex-based disparity, with a higher COVID-19 incidence in males. Severe cases were more common among those aged >50 years, with prolonged hospitalization (>10 days) linked to higher severity (odds ratio [OR] = 2.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.31–3.77, p<0.001). Elevated fibrinogen and D-dimer levels, as well as prolonged PT, predicted severe cases. However, D-dimer had the highest influence compared to other coagulation factors (OR = 14.50, 95% CI = 5.85–35.95, p<0.001), while prolonged PT influenced mortality rates (OR = 4.02, 95% CI = 1.35–12.00, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Coagulation factors, such as elevated D-dimer and fibrinogen levels and prolonged PT, predicted the severity of COVID-19 patients leading to death.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a common chronic liver condition often associated with obesity and diabetes. Empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, is an antidiabetic medication that improves glycemic control, insulin resistance, and body weight. This study aimed to examine the efficacy of empagliflozin in adults with MAFLD. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed using the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Wiley Online Library databases. Randomized controlled trials assessing liver function, lipid profile, metabolic profile, and body composition were included. Weighted mean differences (WMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random-effects models, and study quality was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool for Randomized Trials. RESULTS 6 RCTs with a total of 636 participants were analyzed. Empagliflozin significantly reduced alanine aminotransferase levels (WMD: –6.65 IU/l, 95% CI: –13.02 to –0.28; p = 0.04) and gamma-glutamyl transferase levels (WMD: −10.60 IU/l, 95% CI: −29.05 to −7.68; p<0.00001). A non-significant reduction in aspartate aminotransferase was observed (WMD: –4.69 IU/l, 95% CI: –9.89 to 0.51; p = 0.08). Empagliflozin significantly improved low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.02) and total cholesterol (p = 0.05) levels but did not significantly affect triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, metabolic profiles, or body composition. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis highlights the beneficial effects of empagliflozin on liver function and indicates the need for further research on its metabolic effects and long-term outcomes in managing MAFLD.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Scleroderma is an immune-mediated connective tissue disease, with interstitial lung disease as one of its manifestations. Physalis angulata (P. angulata) or ciplukan has shown potential in treating fibrosis, but its role in preventing lung inflammation and fibrosis remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of P. angulata extract in a bleomycin (BLM)-induced scleroderma rat. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 6 groups. For lung inflammation prevention, 3 groups received: (1) BLM only, (2) BLM+50 mg/kgBW P. angulata, and (3) BLM+100 mg/kgBW P. angulata. After 14 days, rats were sacrificed and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) leukocyte count, interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, and lung injury score were assessed. For fibrosis prevention, another 3 groups received the same interventions and were sacrificed after 51 days. Fibrosis score, fibrosis area, hydroxyproline, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), and matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) levels were analyzed. BLM was administered subcutaneously, while P. angulata was given orally for 14 days. IL-6, TGF-β, and MMP-13 were measured by ELISA and hydroxyproline by colorimetric method. Mean differences and p-values were calculated using appropriate statistical tests. RESULTS P. angulata extract did not prevent lung inflammation, as there were no differences in BAL leukocyte count (p = 0.126), IL-6 levels (p = 0.173), or lung injury scores (p = 0.397) between the BLM-only group and those receiving P. angulata. The extract also did not prevent lung fibrosis, with no differences in fibrosis scores (p = 0.173), fibrosis area (p = 0.359), hydroxyproline (p = 0.295), TGF-β (p = 0.374), or MMP-13 (p = 0.088) levels among groups. CONCLUSIONS P. angulata extract did not prevent the development of lung inflammation or fibrosis.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains difficult to eradicate due to the persistence of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA). Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) enhances HBV replication, but the effects of its inhibition remain unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the effects of MMP-9 inhibitors on HBV replication markers. METHODS Primary hepatocyte cultures were obtained from the livers of 6 Tupaia javanica. Cultures were infected with HBV from human sera and divided into control and intervention groups. The intervention group received MMP-9 inhibitors at 1, 3, and 7 nM. The control group received phosphate-buffered saline. Levels of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), HBV DNA, cccDNA, MMP-9, interferon alpha and beta receptor subunit 1 (IFNAR1), and interferon beta (IFN-β) were measured in both groups before and 72 hours post-intervention. RESULTS MMP-9 inhibitor administration at 1, 3, and 7 nM consistently reduced HBsAg, HBV DNA, cccDNA, and MMP-9 levels, though not statistically significant. Median HBV DNA levels at 1, 3, and 7 nM were 7.05, 5.29, and 5.98 ×103 copies/ml, respectively. Mean cccDNA levels at 1, 3, and 7 nM were 14.15, 11.04, and 13.94 ×103 copies/ml, respectively. The 3 nM dose increased IFNAR1 levels, while the 7 nM dose increased IFN-β, but neither change was significant. Among the tested doses, 3 nM showed the most favorable effects despite the lack of significance. CONCLUSIONS MMP-9 inhibitor suppressed HBsAg, HBV DNA, cccDNA, and MMP-9 while increasing IFNAR1 and IFN-β in vitro.

Abstract

BACKGROUND Poor prognosis in patients with metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma (mPCa) may be due to the expression of stem cell-related genes. This study aimed to demonstrate the association between the expression of cancer stem cell markers and metastasis in patients with castration-naive mPCa. METHODS This cross-sectional, analytical study investigated a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded prostate specimens from patients diagnosed in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. Patients aged ≥50 years old were grouped based on the extent of metastases (high-volume disease [HVD] and low-volume disease [LVD]). In each case, immunohistochemical staining for CD133, CD44, SOX2, and androgen receptor was performed and analyzed using H-score. All data were recorded and analyzed using SPSS software version 20.0. RESULTS A total of 61 patients were recruited from 2020 to 2023 and divided into the HVD (n = 38) and LVD (n = 23) groups, with a mean age of 67.9 years. 45 of the patients had International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade 5 disease, while 16 of them had grade <5. A significant difference of ISUP grade and PSA serum level was observed in the HVD versus LVD group (p = 0.017 and <0.001, respectively). Additionally, a significant association was found between SOX2 expression and metastatic extent. CONCLUSIONS The LVD group showed higher SOX2 expression in the primary tumor compared to the HVD group. Different SOX2 expressions in various sites and stages may be due to the cancer cells’ systemic network.
