Abstract

Background: Andropause in men can be caused by large waist circumference. The population of Asian countries, including Indonesia, tends to undergo an increase of waist circumference. This study is aimed to compare the occurrence of andropause  between men with large and normal waist circumference. Methods: This study was a non-experimental analytic observational study with cross-sectional approach conducted in Jebres in September-October 2014. The subjects were 40 men selected using simple random sampling technique. The data obtained from physical measurements and questionnaire-led interviews were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression test to control confounding factors. Results: Twelve out of 15 men with large waist circumference (> 90 cm) experienced andropause and 16 out of 25 men with normal waist circumference (≤ 90 cm) did not experience andropause. On the other hand, 5 out of 10 men aged < 50 years experienced andropause and 23 out of 30 men aged ≥ 50 years did not experience andropause. Conclusion: Men with large waist circumference have risk experiencing andropause 3.06 times higher than men with normal waist circumference, although in this study the result is not significant (OR = 3.06; CI = 95% 0.59 to 15.95; p = 0.184 ). Keywords: Andropause, Waist Circumference

Abstract

Background: Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, which activates apoptosis of the mucous lining of gastrointestinal tract. The use of steroids as inflammatory therapies in sepsis is still debated. This study aimed to determine the effect of steroid in low dose on intestinal inflammation grade in mice model of Sepsis early stage. Method : This study was an experimental laboratory with the post test only controlled group design. The sample was 25 male Balb/C mice, divided into five groups, namely: control (K1), sepsis (K2), sepsis + low dose steroid (K3), sepsis + moderate dose steroid (K4), sepsis + high dose steroid (K5). The models of sepsis were given cecal inoculums material 4 mg/kgBW/day/i.p for 5 days. Two hours after i.p injection of cecal inoculums, the mice were given dexamethasone with doses 0.05; 0.25; 2.50 mg/kgBW/day/i.v, representing low, moderate, and high dose steroid therapy for 5 days. Histological preparation of intestines was made on day 6, while the anti inflammatory effect of steroid therapy was measured based on inflammatory grading according to Chang et al. Data were analyzed using Kruskal Wallis method and Mann Whitney method. The values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Result : The study showed grading inflammation of mice within groups were: K1: grade 0 (100%); K2: grade 2 (60%) and grade 3 (40%); K3: grade 0 (40%) and grade 1 (60%); K4: grade 2 (20%) and grade 3 (80%); K5: grade 3 (40%) and grade 4 (60%). There was significant difference between groups: K1-K2 (p = 0.005), K2-K3 (p = 0.007), K2-K5 group (p = 0.020), K3-K4 (p = 0.006), K3-K5 (p = 0.007), K4-K5 (p = 0.042). Conclusion: Low dose steroid effectively reduces intestinal inflammation grade in mice model of sepsis early stage. Keywords: Steroid dose, inflammation grade, sepsis.
