Abstract

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma is a part of the cancer in the head and neck which ranks 10th most cancers in the world with a wide geographical distribution. It is usually found in the late stage. P16 gene (CDKN2a/INK4a) is an important tumor suppressor gene in carcinogenesis. This study aimed to detect the expression of p16 gene on paraffin block samples of the tongue of the oral squamous cell carcinoma patients in RSUD Dr. Moewardi. Methods: DNA product used in this study was isolated from 14 samples on Paraffin Blocks of the tongue of the oral squamous cell carcinoma patients in RSUD Dr. Moewardi. The DNA products, then, were used as a template for PCR amplification of the p16 gene. Primers were designed with the base sequences deposited in Gene Bank. PCR amplification products were run in agarose gel electrophoresis and visualized to detect the presence of the p16 gene. Later, the results were analyzed and presented in descriptive data. Results: Only 6 of 14 samples were diagnosed as oral squamous cell carcinoma. From 6 samples only one was detected positive expression of p16 gene. DNA bands were detected in 3% agarose gel. The intensity of DNA bands was visualized lowly and there was a smear. On the 5 other samples, DNA bands were detected under the marker, thus they showed a negative result or the expression of p16 gene was not detectable. Conclusions: Among 6 samples of the tongue of the oral squamous cell carcinoma patients, only one showed positive expression of p16 gene. Errors in the molecular and tumor differentiation level analysis was able to cause the negative results in this study. Therefore further research that detected expression of p16 gene on the tongue of the oral squamous cell carcinoma patients was needed. Keywords:P16 gene, Paraffin Block, oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract

Background: Dialyzer is a critical medical equipment having high risk of microorganism contamination. Because of economical reason, dialyzer reuse is performed as first choice in Indonesia. The making of dialyzer reuse starts from rinsing, priming test and sterilization itself. Sterilization method of dialyzer that has been carried out in Rumah Sakit Dr. Moewardi is manual and automatic sterilization. Method: This was an observational study using cross sectional design. Samples taken by consecutive sampling technique were collected from the last rinsing of NaCl right before the dialyzer was used. This NaCl samples were collected from dialyzer which were sterilized manually and automatically, each, 15 samples. The difference of posistive growth of bacteria cultures of both methods was analyzed by Chi square test, while the difference of the number of colony forming unit was analyzed by independent T test. Result: Fifteen samples of the last rinsing of NaCl from dialyzer sterilized manually showed there were 10 samples positive contaminated and 5 samples negative. While from dialyzer sterilized automatically showed there were 8 samples positive contaminated and 7 samples negative. All positive samples were contaminated by positive Gram bacteria. The statistical analyses showed no significant difference of both based on quality (p = 0.456) and quantity (p = 156). Conclusion: There was bacterial contamination as many as 10 samples (66.6%) of dialyzer which was sterilized manually and 8 samples (53.3%) of dialyzer which was sterilized automatically. There was no significant difference statistically on the effectiveness between manual and automatic sterilization. Keywords: dialyzer reuse, manual sterilization, automatic sterilization.

Abstract

Background: Gentamicin, which is often used for infection treatment against aerobic Gram negative bacteria, is known having nephrotoxic effects through the inflammation mechanisms. Mangosteen pericarp has antioxidant activity and antiinflammation properties which attenuates oxidative stress, inflammatory and fibrotic pathways, hence it potentially prevents renal damages. Gentamicin-induced renal damages can be measured from elevation of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of mangosteen pericarp extract on BUN levels in Wistar rats induced by gentamicin. Methods: This was an experimental study with pre- and posttest controlled group design. Thirty white male Wistar rats aged 8-12 weeks and weighed 135-170 grams were randomly divided into three groups. Normal control group (P1) was administered orally with Natrium Carboxymethylcellulose (Na CMC) 0.5%. Negative control group (P2) got intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of gentamicin at total dose of 100 mg/kgBW. Treatment group (P3) was induced by gentamicin and 125 mg/kgBW mangosteen pericarp extract. The extract was administered orally thirty minutes after gentamicin injection for ten consecutive days. Blood samples were collected from retroorbital veins and BUN levels were measured at day 0 and day 11. Data were analyzed statistically by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukeys multiple comparison tests (?=0.05). Results: One-way ANOVA test showed no significant difference in pretest BUN levels among three groups (p=0.902). At day 11, BUN level in P2 group was significantly higher than those in P1 and P3 groups. Tukeys multiple comparison test further showed significant difference between P1-P2 and P2-P3 (p<0.001). No significant difference of BUN level was found between P1-P3 (p=0.386). Conclusions: Mangosteen pericarp extract could significantly prevent the elevation of BUN levels in Wistar rats induced by gentamicin. Keywords: mangosteen pericarp extract, gentamicin, BUN
