Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.  The incidence is  10 % in children. Tuberculosis has high morbidity and mortality which needs adequate treatment. The side effects of FDC is thyroid hormone dysfunction which can interfere children's quality of life. However, research about the effect of FDC therapy on thyroid hormone profile in children with TB are very limited. Objective: To determine the effect of anti-tuberculosis drug treatment on thyroid hormone profile in paediatric tuberculosis. Methods: A one group pretest-posttest design study of 50 patients was conducted at the Semarang Health Center for the period January 2021-June 2021. Thyroid function tests of TSH, FT4 and T3, in TB children were measured before FDC therapy and 2 months after administration. The data were analysed descriptively and a comparative test was performed using SPSS 25.Results: There were no significant differences in TSH, FT4 and T3 serum levels before FDC therapy and 2 months of FDC administration. Thyroid hormone levels before treatment and 2 months after administration of FDC, respectively, euthyroid in 44 vs 42 patients.Conclusion: Two months of tuberculosis treatment in children decreased the serum FT4 and T3 level but no changes in the serum TSH level before and after the treatment.

Abstract

Background: High-fat diet (HFD) and cigarette smoke exposure (CSE) have been used to induce atherosclerosis in wild-type (WT) rats however, their effectivity remains unclear.Objective: To confirm and compare the effectivity of HFD and CSE on both the histopathology of aorta and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in WT rats.Methods: Thirty-six WT Wistar rats were divided into four main groups (K0, K1, K2, and K3) and four subgroups (K3A, K3B, K3C, and K3D). The negative control group (K0) was fed with regular diet. Group K1 was treated with an intravenous adrenaline followed by high-fat diet (HFD), K2 was fed with regular diet and given CSE, while K3 was treated with a combination of CSE and HFD. The serum and cardiac MDA levels were measured using ELISA. Hematoxylin eosin and oil red O staining of aorta were done for measuring of the intima-media thickness (IMT) ratio and for counting of foam cells, respectively. Results: Both serum and cardiac tissue MDA levels in either K1, K2, or K3 were significant higher (p<0.01) than that of in K0. IMT ratio in K3 was significant higher compared to other groups (p<0.01). Foam cell numbers were significant higher in K2 and K3 groups than that of in either K0 or K1 (p<0.01).Conclusion: While the HFD fails to induce atherosclerosis in WT rats for 28 days, either CSE or combination of CSE and HFD is able to induce it, and the combination is better than alone.

Abstract

Background: Stress-related mucosal disease (SRMD) frequently develops in critically ill patients, increasing mortality and length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay. There is limited data on stress ulcer prophylaxis (SUP) on critically ill patients in Indonesia.Objective:Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of patients admitted to the ICU from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2017. The subjects were all ICU patients who used proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and histamine-2 receptor antagonist (H2RA) as SUP therapy.Results: A total of 315 patients were included, and mean age was 48 years. Approximately 55.2% were women, and 62.8% of patients were admitted to ICU following high-risk surgery. PPI was given to 187 patients (59.4%) and H2RA to 128 patients (40.6%), with an average usage for 5 days. The incidence of SRMD was 15.9% (n = 50), and mean length of stay in the ICU was 6 days. Gender, age, duration of SUP, and ICU length of stay of the PPI and H2RA groups were not statistically different (p > 0.05) and did not affect the GI event (p > 0.05). The use of rational SUP was 98.4%. Major American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) risk factor criterion was ventilator use (86.8%), while the minor ASHP criterion was anticoagulant therapy (22.2%). The incidence of GI event was significantly lower in PPI groups than H2RA groups (p < 0.05).Conclusions: The use of SUP is rational with an average use of 5 days. PPI are superior to H2RA for SRMD prophylaxis.

Abstract

Background: Cigarette smoke is a source of free radicals that could cause lung damage. Honey and N-Acetylcysteine have antioxidant effects that could play a role in preventing lung damage.Objective: This study aims to compare the effects of honey and N-Acetylcysteine on lung histological features of mice (Mus musculus) after exposure to cigarette smoke.Methods: This research is an actual experimental study with post-test only control group design. There were 25 adult male mice selected and divided into four groups, i.e., the standard control group (not given exposure or treatment); the negative control group (received 0.2 mL of aqua bidest and exposure to cigarette smoke); the first treatment group (received 0.2 ml of honey and exposure to cigarette smoke); the second treatment  group (received 0.2 mL of N-Acetylcysteine and exposure to cigarette smoke). The treatment was carried out every day for 21 days.Result: One way ANOVA statistical test showed significant differences between the experimental groups (p<0.001). Mice in the group that was only received aqua bidest (negative control group) had the highest percentage of lung damage (76.6%) compared to mice from other groups. The lowest percentage of lung damage was found in the treatment group that received NAC (26.6%). Tukey test showed no significant differences in the lung damage between honey and N-Acetylcysteine groups (p=0.685).Conclusion: Honey and N-Acetylcysteine demonstrated some protective effect against lung damage of mice as a result of cigarette smoking exposure. Further research is recommended by extending the treatment time, increasing the exposure to cigarettes smokes per day, as well as varying the dose of honey and N-Acetylcysteine administered

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: The most common pelvic tumors in women of reproductive age are uterine fibroids or known as leiomyomas, the frequency of cervical leiomyomas is about 1 to 2%. Leiomyoma which causes symptoms requires surgery, the most frequent surgical procedure is hysterectomy. Nevertheless, the management of cervical leiomyomas in premenopausal women remains a challenge in order to preserve the uterus whereas future pregnancy is still possible. Therefore, hysterectomy is not the preferred procedure. We present a case of a 47-year-old, multiparous woman with cervical leiomyoma that was treated with myomectomy and curettage to give an overview of how to treat cervical leiomyoma in patients who wanted to preserve their fertility.Case Presentation: A 47-year-old woman, P3A0, presented to the emergency department at Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital with a mass spontaneously protruding from the vagina a few hours before admission with a mass spontaneously protruding from the vagina, lower abdominal and heavy vaginal bleeding. The gynecological examination revealed a mass with a reddish surface and blood protruding out of the introitus. The dimensions of the mass were 20 cm x 8 cm x 12 cm. The mass is mobile, painful, tender on palpation, and seemed to be originating from the cervix. Myomectomy and curettage were performed. The histopathology result was suggestive of benign leiomyoma.Conclusion: In conclusion, this was a case of a patient with symptoms associated with cervical leiomyoma who was effectively treated with myomectomy and curettage. Myomectomy is considered the most frequent therapy for symptomatic myomas for women who desire to preserve their fertility.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Patients with liver cirrhosis had liver cell damage and malnutrition risk. Hepatogomax enteral formula consists of soybean flour and goat’s milk flour which could reduce serum albumin, AST, and ALT levels because it contains BCAA amino acids (valine, leucine, and isoleucine) and MCT.Objective: To examine the effect of Hepatogomax enteral formula based on Soybean flour and goat’s milk flour on serum albumin, AST, and ALT levels in Sprague Dawley rats liver cirrhosis.Methods: The true experimental study – pre-post control group used 24 adult Sprague Dawley rats in 4 groups. Groups K(+), P1, and P2 were induced by Thioacetamide 400 mg/kgBW. The groups of  P1 and P2 were given the Hepatogomax enteral formula made from soybean flour and goat’s milk flour at a dose of 4.87 g/200gBW and 14.6 g/200gBW for 28 days. Serum albumin levels were determined using the Bromocresol Green (BCG) method while serum AST and ALT were determined using spectrophotometry. Statistical analysis had used Paired T-Test and Kruskal Wallis test with Mann Whitney follow-up test.Results: Serum albumin, AST, and ALT levels in the P1 and P2 groups had significant differences (p<0.05) against the K(-) and K(+) groups. Enteral formula based on soybean flour and goat’s milk flour could increase serum albumin levels and reduce serum AST and ALT levels of P1 and P2 groups. The most significant improvement in serum albumin, AST, and ALT levels was at dose 14.6 g/200gBW.Conclusion: Hepatogomax enteral formula based on Soybean flour and goat’s milk flour could increase serum albumin and redue AST, and ALT levels Sprague Dawley rats liver cirrhosis.

Abstract

Background: Couples unable to conceive and bear children could feel deep disappointment, often leading to depression. Infertility is one of the main reasons couples are not able to have children. Genetic counseling role in infertility ranges from explanation about possible genetic causes of infertility, pregnancy planning, and advice for treatment. Case Presentation: A couple with 16 years of infertility was referred to the genetic clinic at National Diponegoro Hospital. The 42 years old female had previous history of diabetes mellitus, obesity, and had treatment of epilepsy/seizure 15 years ago with routine carbamazepine therapy for 2 years, while her 42 years old husband had active hepatitis B infection for 15 years. This couple underwent insemination program twice and once completed In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), both management bearing no successful implantation or viable pregnancy. Recently, she underwent a laparoscopy procedure, which gave new diagnosis of endometriosis and adenomyosis. Chromosomal examination and Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) C677T and A1298C alleles analysis were done in our laboratory. Both individuals carried normal karyotypes and MTHFR analysis was homozygote wild type allele. Currently, this couple has accepted their conditions. They still want to bear a child although she is at a crucial ageConclusion: Infertility is a challenging and comprehensive problem. As healthcare professionals, we encounter problems not only in diagnosis and management, but also psychological and emotional dilemma. Genetic counseling is needed to solve the problems and avoid patient’s psychological distress.

Abstract

Background: Cigarette smoke contains a lot of free radicals that can reduce antioxidants in the body. One of those is Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which can induce Retinal Ganglion Cell (RGC) apoptosis. Reduced ganglion cell axons will eventually lead to optic neuropathy. Supplementing herbal medicines, vitamins, foods, and drinks containing antioxidants is one way to increase oxidant levels in the body. Roselle or Hibiscus sabdariffa is a herbal plant reported to have a lot of antioxidant content.Objective: The study aimed to prove that Roselle flower infusions can reduce retinal ganglion cell apoptosis of Sprague Dawley rats exposed to cigarette smoke.Methods: This was an experimental study with a post-test-only design with a total of 24 male Sprague Dawley rats exposed to four non-filtered cigarettes/day for 30 consecutive days. They were randomly divided into four sub-groups, and each group consisted of 6 rats. The control group received 1 ml of saline, and three treatment groups received Roselle flower infusions of 2.5%, 5%, and 10% for 30 days. Enucleated eyes were then made paraffin blocks and slides with HE staining. The retinal ganglion cell apoptosis score was assessed by calculating the number of apoptotic cells using 1000x in five fields of view. The data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test followed by the Mann-Whitney U test.Results: The average retinal ganglion cell apoptosis score in control, treatment 1, 2, and 3 groups were 3.00; 2.83; 2.00; 1.83. There was a significant difference between the control group and treatment groups 2 (p=0.001) and group 3 (p=0.001), while between the control group and treatment group 1, there was no significant difference (p=0.317).Conclusion: The administration of 5% and 10% Roselle flower infusions can reduce the apoptosis score of retinal ganglion cells in Sprague Dawley rats exposed to cigarette smoke. The higher the Roselle flower infusion concentration, the lower the apoptosis score of retinal ganglion cells.
