Abstract

Background: Asymptomatic biofilm-producing Staphylococcus aureus carriage play a pivotal role as a reservoir pathogen and increase the transmission rate in hospital as well as in healthy community. Biofilm- producing S. aureus which is regulated by the the ica AD gene reduce the antimicrobial ability in eliminating the pathogen. Objective: The aim of this study was to detect the icaAD gene of biofilm-producing Staphylococcus aureus carriage isolates obtained from healthcare workers and healthy Community in Banyumas, Indonesia.Methods: This descriptive observational study enrolled 60 healthcare workers and 60 healthy communities in Banyumas district.  Antibiotic susceptibility test was using disc diffusion according to Clinical laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) 2019. Biofilm-producing ability identified by using microtiter plate biofilm assay and the positivity of icaAD gene was performed by using PCR method.Results: The results showed that one of 60 healthcare workers (0,017%) showed MRSA, four of 60 healthcare workers (0,07%) were MSSA and 2 samples from community (0,03%) were MSSA. Total of 7 samples underwent biofilm examination,  one sample was moderate biofilm, two samples were weak biofilm, and four samples were no biofilm. It was known that three biofilm-producing S.aureus were positive ica A/D gene.Conclusion: The ica A/D gene was found positive in both biofilm-producing MRSA and MSSA strain from both healthcare workers group and the healthy communities group. The presence of icaAD genes in both strains shows the potential for antibiotic resistance in these strains regulated by different mechanisms.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background:Primary amenorrhea may result from congenital abnormalities in the development of the gonads, genital tract, or external genitalia or from a disturbance within the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Gonadal dysgenesis is a disorder of sex development in which the diagnosis is based on the histology of gonads and is the main cause of primary amenorrhea. Optimal protocol of management for phenotypic female with 46, XY gonadal dysgenesis involves prophylactic gonadectomy at diagnosis.Case Presentation: The patient was referred to our hospital at the age of 15 years old for primary amenorrhea. She was obese with no secondary sex sign. Gynecologic examination revealed a normal vagina and clitoris. Rectal Toucher examination revealed no internal genitalia structure. The laboratory data: FSH levels was above normal range, LH and testosterone levels were within normal range. Pelvic Ultrasonography uterus and vaginal structure and testis were not visualized. Cytogenetic and ARgene analysis found a 46, XY karyotype and no pathogenic variants. On laparoscopy, Mullerian structure and Wolffian remnant structure were identified and biopsies were performed. Based on histopathological examination and immunohistochemical markers of the right and left gonad showed the impression of Malignant Mixed Germ Cell-Sex Cord Stromal Tumor. SRY gene examination was positive.Examination of other DSD gene analysis has not been done. Second laparoscopy for gonadectomy and removal of Mullerian and Wolfiian remnant structure were performed. Conclusion:Chromosomal analysis should become the first line testing in primary amenorrhea followed by advanced molecular test. Multidisciplinary managements recommended for DSD cases.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Contraceptive injection is the most common contraception used in Indonesia. Among the contraceptive injections, depomedroxy progesterone acetate (DMPA) is the most effective method with pregnancy rate of 0,3 pregnancy in 100 women annually. Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common side effect occurred in DMPA users which leads to the discontinuation of contraception.Objective: To explore the effect of tranexamic acid on bleeding length for DMPA users with AUB who receive low dose Oral Contraceptive Pills (OCP).Methods: We performed double blind randomized control trial between  two groups to investigate the effect of tranexamic in managing AUB in DMPA users who receive low dose OCP. This study was performed in Dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang, Indonesia. Forty-four subjects were divided into two groups, equally. Group 1 received 250 mg tranexamic acid four times a day for 5 days and OCP once a day for 28 days, while Group 2 received placebo four times a day for 5 days and OCP once a day for 28 days. Both groups were evaluated for bleeding length during treatment and were analyzed using Mann Whitney for post treatment with tranexamic acid.Results: The mean bleeding length was 5.2±3.62 days and 9.2±6.16 days in group 1 and 2 respectively. These bleeding lengths were significantly different between both groups (p=0.018). The precentage of subjects in whom bleeding was stopped during the first week after initial treatment was significantly higher in  group  1 than group 2 (77,3 % vs 45,5 %, p<0,030).Conclusion: Tranexamic acid significantly reduced the bleeding length in DMPA users who use OCP.

Abstract

Many targeted treatment studies have been carried out in individuals with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) guided by animal studies from the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) knock out (KO) mice and the fragile X Drosophila studies. Here we review the many medications that have been studied in patients with FXS and some of these medications are available for clinical use by wise clinicians. Other medications are not currently available by prescription because they are not approved by the FDA. No medication has received specific approval for treatment of FXS, although some have shown benefit from clinical studies. There is much to be done in the treatment of those with FXS and this report describes those pharmacological treatments that target the neurobiological mechanisms that are dysregulated by the lack of the Fragile X Protein (FMRP) in those with FXS.

Abstract

Background: The vegan diet in children provides the benefit of reducing the risk of being overweight and improving the fat profile. The risk that can occur in the provision of a vegan diet in children is anthropometric size below reference and low caloric intake. Growth hormone (GH) and Insulin like Growth Factors (IGFs) are powerful stimulators for longitudinal growth of bone and require insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBPs) which acts as a transport protein for IGF-1. A vegan diet with lower calorie intake in children has lower IGF-I levels than children with an omnivorous diet.Objective: Examining the effect of vegan diets on IGF-1 levels, IGFBP-3 levels, and growth velocity.Methods: This study was done with a prospective cohort design. The study subjects were divided into two groups, namely the vegan group and the omnivorous group, then matched based on age and sex. During the study, anthropometric data collection, IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 levels measurements were done in both vegan children and omnivorous children.Results: During 6 months of observation, 22 subjects were divided into two groups, namely children with a vegan diet and children with an omnivorous diet. IGF-1 (ng / mL) in vegan children was 105.5 ± 47.3 compared to 102.7 ± 42.3 in omnivorous children with a value of p = 0.89. IGFBP-3 (ng / mL) in vegan children was 2146.4 ± 595.1 compared to 2142 ± 609.1 in omnivorous children with value of p = 0.99 and Growth Velocity (cm / 6 months) was 3.0 in vegan children (1.0-5.30), and 3.2 (2.6-6.5) in omnivorous children with value of p = 0.41.Conclusion:Children with vegan diet had IGF-1 level, IGFBP-3 level, and growth velocity that were the same as children with an omnivorous diet.

Abstract

Background: Skin aging occurs along with age. Genetic, nutrients, hormones, and sun exposure can affect directly and indirectly the structure of the skin. These things will induce an increase in free radicals which disrupts one of the most important enzymes in the extracellular matrix which is elastase enzyme. High enzyme synthesis will cause skin wrinkle. Free radicals can be inhibited by the presence of antioxidants. The plant contains natural phytochemical compounds which act as antioxidants and anti aging. Black soybeans are rich in daidzein compound, which protect against free radicals and prevent premature aging.Objective: This research evaluates the antioxidant and antiaging potential of Black Soybean (Glycine max L.) extract and its compound, daidzein.Methods: Analysis of antioxidants from black soybean extract and daidzein were carried out using ABTS scavenging activity assay. The antiaging assay was carried out through inhibition of elastase enzyme.Results: Black soybean extract had lower IC50 value of ABTS scavenging activity around 77.39±4.05 μg/ml better than daidzein with IC50 of 83.34±3.89 μg/ml. The results of elastase inhibition activity assay showed that daidzein compound has a lower IC50 value, 57.35±5.64 μg/ml compared to black soybean extract with IC50 value, 93.36±6.39 μg/ml.Conclusion: Black soybean extract had higher antioxidant. Daidzein had better elastase inhibition activity compared to black soybean extract.
