Abstract

Background: Leprosy, a chronic infectious disease presents a broad clinical spectrum that is correlated with the immunological response of the patient, mainly related to Th1/Th2 cells. IL-10 is a major cytokine produced by Th2 cells inhibits imunostimulatory cytokine produced by Th1 cells. Suppressive effects of IL-10 in monocytes and cytokine synthesis by Th1 cells presumably because IL-10 has a general suppressive effect on immune function. Nigella sativa has a potent potentiating effect on cellular immunity through suppression of Th2 cells and IL-10, resulting in potentiation of Th1 cells. Method: The study design is a randomized pretest and posttest controlled design involving 40 subjects of MB leprosy patients. Serum levels of IL-10 were measured by ELISA. Result: The mean decrease in serum levels of IL-10 (IL-10 delta) in the treatment group (average fell 3.12 pg/ml) is greater than the control group (average rose 0.21 pg/ml), where the difference is statistically significant (p = 0.029). Nigella sativa giving significant correlation with a decrease in IL-10 compared to the control group (p=0.044, OR: 10.23). Conclusion: supplementation of Nigella sativa 3 x 1000 mg for 2 months in patients with MB leprosy can reduce levels of IL-10, thus increasing the cellular immune response in patients with MB leprosy.

Abstract

Background: High fat diet is a diet containing large amounts of fat consistently, the increase dietary fat and cholesterol which have a key role in growing health problems. Extra virgin olive oil associated with prevention of LDL oxidation, beneficial changes in lipid ratios and low risk for CHD.Objective: to determine the anti-inflammatory effect  of extra virgin olive oil extract to  levels of COX-2 and LOX-1 in the blood in rats induced by high fat dietMethods: This research is an experimental study that used randomized posttest only control group design. 30 Wistar rats which were divided into five groups:  group of control (-) which received  normal diet and group of control (+) which received  high fat diet without  EVOO treatment and three high fat diet groups treated by EVOO 1 mL/kg/day, 2 mL/kg/day and 3 mL/kg/day orally for 2 months. The blood was collected from eyes rats and serum separation by centrifuge. COX-2, LOX-1 concentration was measured by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results: The result of this study showed higher COX-2 concentrations in groups treated with EVOO than control group. COX-2 serum levels of negative control where significantly lower than those of rats treated with 2 ml/kg/day (p = 0.047) and 3 ml/kg/day EVOO (p = 0.014). The COX-2 serum levels of group received 1 ml/kg/day were significantly lower than those of rats received 3 ml/kg/day EVOO (p = 0.027). And showed  not significantly deferent among all groups (p = 0.570).Conclusions: The conclusion of this study has showed that extra virgin olive oil extract might have minor anti inflammatory and antioxidant effect in rats.

Abstract

Background : TLR4 Asp299Gly and TNF-α -308G/A polymorphisms have been shown to be associated with increased susceptibility and severity of infection. TLR4 Asp299Gly polymorphism could affect the host’s ability to respond to leptospira sp. TNF-α -308G/A polymorphism, is associated with the high producer of TNF-α.Methods : Total of 36 leptospirosis patients (IgM anti leptospira and MAT positive) and healthy individual with the equal number were included. The polymorphisms were determined  by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) using site spesific restriction enzyme.Results : Distribution of  homozygous wild-type TLR4 Asp299Gly polymorphism was higher in both of groups ( 94.5:97.2%.) and homozygous mutant allele was absent. There was not significantly difference of  TLR4 Asp299Gly in leptospirosis patients and healthy group ( ρ=1.00; OR 0.5; 95%CI, 0.04-5.6) and between mild and severe leptospirosis (ρ=0.54; OR 1.54 ; 95% CI, 1.20-1.98). The presence of homozygous wild-type TNF-α -308G/A polymorphism was higher between leptospirosis patients and healthy group (100:94.5%) andhomozygous mutant allele was not found in both of the groups. No significantly different of TNF-α -308G>A polymorphism between leptospirosis patient and healthy group (ρ=0.49).Conclusions : In this study, the polymorphisms of TLR4 Asp299Gly and TNF-α -308G/A were not associated with the susceptibility and severity of leptospirosis.

Abstract

Background: Intellectual disability (ID) is a major public health problem because the defect, treatment and rehabilitation require long life both medical and socio-economic assessment. Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common cause of inherited X-linked intellectual disabilities (ID) with reduced penetrance. With regards to behavioral and emotional phenotype, FXS commonly mixed up with idiopathic autism. The prevalence is found higher in males compared to females. In accordance with rapid development of diagnosis technique, the prevalence of FXS is defining worldwide including Indonesia using, currently, simple molecular method.Objectives: This study was aimed to diagnose genetic cause of ID and to establish the prevalence of FXS among ID population in Central Java, and Yogyakarta Province.Method: Screening has been performed since 1994 continuously in high risk population (special school with and without autism) using clinical, cytogenetic, and FMR1 gene PCR-based molecular approach. Cascade testing was subjected to the family members with positive result of FXS and many new cases were disclosed in our cohort study.Results: The prevalence of FXS among ID population was calculated to be 1.9% (5/262) in 1994 and 1.7% (9/527) in 2011. Among autism population it was determined to be 6.15% (4/65). Trisomy 21 was found in 14% (74/527) as a major cause of ID.Conclusion: The prevalence of FXS among screened ID population overtime is comparable.
