Abstract

Background: Nutmeg is an indigenous plant from Indonesia that has been used extensively in herbal treatment. Nutmeg seed extract (NuSE) contains the active compound macelignan, which exhibits pharmacological activities. A previous study stated that NuSE is PPARγ or peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma agonist that potentially enhances synaptic signal modulation. PPARγ activation can activate PGC1α or peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha as the primary regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. Mitochondria are involved in synaptic transmission. Increased modulation of signals at synapses can increase neuroplasticity, potentially improving the brain's cognitive function, as seen by the amount of Synaptophysin in the synaptic vesicle membrane for evaluating synaptogenesis.Objective: This research demonstrates how nutmeg seed extract (NuSE) affects PGC1α and synaptophysin expression compared with DHA or docosahexanoieac acid, which has been evidenced to promote neurite growth.Methods: Twenty-four Wistar male rats aged eight weeks were divided into four groups (control, PGA group, NuSE group, and DHA group). The treatment group was administered for 12 weeks using a gavage. After that, the rats were sacrificed, and the hippocampus neurons were collected. The PGC1α and Synaptophysin mRNA expression was measured using semiquantitative reversed PCR, visualized with electrophoresis, and then quantified with ImageJ.Results: This study showed that NuSE increased synaptophysin and PGC1α mRNA expressions compared to the control group with significance statistic (p=0.017, p<0,05) in synaptophysin expression but did not increase PGC1α expression significantly (p=0.364, p>0,05).Conclusion: In conclusion, nutmeg seed extract (NuSE) impacts synaptogenesis in synaptophysin expression to modulate synaptic transmission.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: About 80% of cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. After severe surgery for squamous cervical cancer, abdominal metastasis is an uncommon occurrence.Case Presentation: A 33-year-old lady was diagnosed with cervical cancer and had a radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy. The histopathological examination showed non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma moderately differentiated. A 6 cm suggestive metastatic mass from abdominal region came up three months later after the surgery. An abdominal wall reconstruction surgery was conducted as the treatment for the metastasis mass.Conclusion: The best course of treatment for cervical cancer is still unknown due to the rarity of abdominal metastases. Depending on the severity of the illness and the existence of metastases, each patient receives a unique course of treatment.Keywords: squamous cell carcinoma, hysterectomy, cervical malignancies

Abstract

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a chronic disorder characterized by at least a two-week-long major depressive episode. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) remain the primary prescribed antidepressants to treat MDD. However, SSRIs themselves are found to be ineffective in some individuals or may even lead to adverse side effects. These variable responses have been linked to the drug being metabolized by CYP2C19, which exhibited various polymorphisms. Understanding how gene polymorphism affects drug metabolism is essential since these insights can revolutionize clinical practice, allowing for more precise and personalized treatment approaches that optimize efficacy while minimizing side effects. This issue is particularly pertinent in Indonesia, where research in this area lags behind the pressing need for such studies. In this review, the impact of CYP2C19 polymorphism on the effectiveness of SSRI class drugs, namely citalopram, escitalopram, and sertraline, are explored. Nine relevant articles related to the topic have been studied in Japan, China, Turkey, Russia, Scandinavia, and Australia. The results concluded that CYP2C19 polymorphism can influence the metabolism of SSRIs (citalopram, escitalopram, and sertraline) due to its variability in enzyme activities, which includes both loss-of-function (*2, *3) and gain-of-function (*17) polymorphisms. Consequently, these genetic variations can lead to significant changes in drug efficacy and safety changes within individual patients. This review sheds light on the importance of considering genetic factors when prescribing SSRIs for MDD in the future treatment strategies.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Post operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is associated with cardiovascular outcomes such as stroke, heart failure, and mortality. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is one of biomarker of inflammation. The use of cor pulmonary bypass(CPB), surgical trauma and reperfusion injury during cardiac surgery causes inflammation. NLR is suspected to be a biomarker that represents the inflammatory response as a modulator of POAF, but data are still lacking.This study analyzed the association between NLR and POAF after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) operation.Methods: This was an Observational analytic study, involving patients after the CABG procedure in Kariadi Hospital between June 2022 to September 2023. NLR was assessed in the first three hours after operation. ECG Holter was attained for 96 hours post-CABG procedure.Results: The total subject was 62 patients, consisting of 57 men and 5 women with a mean age of 58,7 ± 6.39 years. Mean postoperative NLR 4.95 ± 2.17 with a median of 4.56 (1.52-11.00). There was a significant association between post-operative NLR with POAF after CABG (p=0.006, OR 4.64, 95%CI 1.50-14.35). High inotropic dose and β blocker initiation time less than 45 hours correlate significantly with POAF after CABG (p<0.001, OR 6.94 dan p=0.001, OR 0.17).Conclusions: Postoperative NLR is associated significantly with POAF after CABG. Keywords: Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio, Post Operative Atrial Fibrillation, coronary artery bypass graft, ECG Holter

Abstract

Background: Microvascular injury after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) reperfusion contributes to necrosis propagation. Corrected TIMI Frame Count (CTFC) is a surrogate marker of microvascular dysfunction and can stratify in-hospital mortality risk in patients with final TIMI flow 3. The extent of myocardial fibrosis after STEMI is associated with a higher incidence of major cardiovascular events. This study aimed to determine the relationship between CTFC in the infarct-related artery and myocardial fibrosis area based on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI.Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 31 STEMI patients who had undergone PPCI and CMR examination between days 60 and 75 after STEMI as the sample. CTFC was measured in the infarct-related artery from post-PPCI angiogram recordings. Myocardial fibrosis area was measured from late gadolinium enhancement CMR (LGE-CMR) imaging results.Results: In this study, the mean age was 51.61±10.49 years, 90.3% were male, non-anterior infarction location was 58.1%, mean total ischemic time was 489.48±228.33 minutes, mean CTFC was 27.4±9.3 frames, and mean myocardial fibrosis was 18.33±7.87%. There was no significant correlation found between CTFC and myocardial fibrosis (p=0.530), however total ischemic time had a positive and significant correlation with myocardial fibrosis (p=0.025, r=0.403).Conclusion: CTFC in the infarct-related artery is not correlated with myocardial fibrosis area in STEMI patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract

 Background: Clitoria ternatea L., commonly known as butterfly pea flower, has gained attention as a potential agent in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis due to its rich content of bioactive compounds, such as anthocyanin, a type of flavonoid renowned for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, along with its ability to enhance the immune system.Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the positive impact of butterfly pea flower extract on atherosclerosis biomarker profiles.Methods: The approach framework used in this research is a true experimental laboratory with a Control Group Post-Test design. Obese male white rats were selected as the research subjects. Thirty-six obese white rats were randomly divided into six groups using the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method. The data collected were VCAM and IL-6 levels from the blood serum of obese white rats tested using an ELISA photometer. The tunica intima thickness was measured using a microscope. Data were analyzed employing SPSS 18 software, utilizing one-way ANOVA statistical tests and post hoc Tukey tests.Results: The research showed that with the increase in Butterfly Flower Extract (BPFE) dose, there was a consistently lower level of inflammatory biomarkers, such as VCAM-1 and IL-6, compared to positive controls and other variations, as well as tunica intima thickness was thinning than others. A dose of 600 mg/kg BW (P3 group) had VCAM-1 levels up to 30.40 ± 6.71 ng/mL, IL-6 levels up to 17.70 ± 8.29 ng/mL, and tunica intima thickness up to 3.18 ± 1.24 µm.Conclusion: BPFE effectively lowers inflammatory biomarkers and thins the tunica intima thickness in obese white rats at 600 mg/kg BW dose. It may offer promising therapeutic potential in addressing atherosclerosis.
