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: Elevated cholesterol levels are associated with hypercholesterolemia, the primary cause of death and lost productivity, and a significant risk factor for the onset of cardiovascular disease. Sorghum is known for its high bioactive components and phenolic compounds, flavonoids, β-glucans, and dietary fiber, which act as anti-cholesterol properties.Objective: This study aimed to analyze the impact of sorghum tempeh on cholesterol levels and histopathology of aorta in rats fed a high-fat diet.Methods: A total of 24 male 8-weeks-old Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to four groups: standard diet group (SD), high-fat diet control group (FD), rats fed high-fat diet + low dose of sorghum tempeh (T1), and high-fat diet + high dose of sorghum tempeh (T2). Measurements of cholesterol levels were determined using the total cholesterol ELISA method. Histopathology of aorta analysis was carried out after four weeks of intervention of the four treatment groups using Hematoxylin-Eosin staining.Results: The average total cholesterol levels post-intervention in the SD, FD, T1, and T2 were 89.986±2.089, 220.365±3.847, 121.161±4.111, and 97.836±2.504 mg/dL, respectively. The results showed that the total cholesterol level significantly decreased (p<0.05) after giving a formula of sorghum tempeh with doses of 0.75 g and 1.50 g per 200 g body weight of rats for four continuous weeks. Histopathology of the aorta in the FD and T2 groups showed a significant difference compared to the SD group. The result which was closest to the SD group was the T1 group.Conclusion: Sorghum tempeh is a high-fiber and antioxidant source that can control hypercholesterolemia by lowering serum total cholesterol. It is also possible to improve histopathology but not yet able to approach normal conditions. The administration of sorghum tempeh with a low dose is sufficient, and further research is still required to determine the effect of sorghum tempeh on aorta histopathology.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Histopathological examination is critical to evaluate tissue condition. An accurate assessment is necessary for diagnosis establishment. Nowadays, both quantitative and qualitative scoring are enhanced with computer-assisted image analysis to reduce bias. Various software was developed to assist in image analysis. The question of whether the measurement results from one software will be comparable to those from another software may come up, given the wide variety of software options. Nevertheless, this subject is only occasionally discussed.Objective: This study aimed to compare the measurement results from Fiji and QuPath software in kidney histomorphometry.Methods: Normal kidney histological slide was observed. Selected histological structures, including the renal corpuscle area, glomerular area, Bowman space area, inner diameter of proximal, distal, and Henle loop, were measured using QuPath and Fiji software. The measurement results from the two software were compared for value differences and agreement analysis.Results: The renal corpuscle means the area was 12.7x103 µm2 in QuPath and 12.5 x103 µm2 in Fiji. The glomerular area was 7.8 x103 µm2 for both software. The proximal tubule's inner diameters varied from 18.7 to 150.8 µm. Smaller inner diameters were observed in distal tubules (17.1-80.5 µm) and The Henle loop (15.5-69.6 µm). There was no significant difference in measurement results of particular structures between the compared software (P-value > 0.05). The further confirmational analysis supported the similarity between the two measurement results.Conclusion: the measurement result of kidney microstructures using QuPath and Fiji were identical.

Abstract

Studies involving experimental animals to explore the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) which leads to the selection of optimal therapy have been widely conducted. The well-known model used to study SLE includes the pristane-induced mouse model and the more recently developed humanized mouse model that implants human immune cells into immunodeficient mice. The current state of the research has yet to provide a systematic review that analyzes both model and its contribution to our understanding of SLE pathogenesis. This systematic review-based study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the development and application of pristane-induced and humanized mouse models. We obtained several relevant article sources include: (1) Search Strategy, on databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane by adjusting the protocols listed in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA); (2) Eligibility based on exclusion and inclusion criteria; and (3) Data Extraction. The findings show that 30 articles are relevant to the subject matter. Several strains of mice were used in the model of the 0.5 pristane injection method and the humanized mice model. All studies showed similar patterns in the onset and manifestation of SLE in mice models with slight variations. The purpose of using the pristane injection method and humanized mice model is adjusted to the output of each study. A variety of research preferences can be used as a reason for choosing pristane and humanized cells transplanted SLE methods in making lupus model mice.

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: Preterm birth has a negative impact on the health of the baby and increases the risk of postpartum depression in mothers. Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is a preterm baby care which is considered to increase bonding between mother and baby, thereby reducing the incidence of postpartum depression, which can be evaluated using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) instrument.Objective: To find out the relationship between the duration of KMC and EPDS outcomes in mothers with preterm infants.Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental method with non-randomized control group pre-test and post-test design and was conducted on 34 mothers with preterm infants who gave birth at Dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang. The research subjects were selected using consecutive sampling method and were asked to perform kangaroo mother care for 60 minutes daily (control group) and 120 minutes daily (treatment group) for 14 days. Evaluation was carried out using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale questionnaire, which was completed twice, as a pre-test and post-test. Data analysis was performed using paired sample T-test and independent samples T-test to determine the relationship between variables.Results: Results showed that there was a significant relationship between the duration of KMC and EPDS outcomes. The difference between the decreased of EPDS scores in the control and treatment groups was significant (p=0.017). The significant decrease of EPDS score was found in the treatment group (p<0.001). The decrease of EPDS score in the control group was not significant (p=0.704).Conclusion: Increasing duration of KMC lowers the score of EPDS in mothers with preterm infants.

Abstract

Background:  Diabetes mellitus prevalence in Indonesia has surged. In 2021, an estimated 19.5 million people had diabetes, with a 10.6% age-adjusted prevalence. Projections indicate around 9.5 million cases by 2024. Diabetes medications, such as metformin, are commonly used, although these medications have adverse effects. A common choice for chronic diseases like DM is the use of natural medications. A plant known as Clerodendrum inerme has the potential to alleviate diabetes, but little is known about its molecular mechanismsObjective: The purpose of this study was to explore the content of Clerodendrum inerme plant compounds and their potential for cases of Diabetes Mellitus.Methods: The KNApSAcK was used to conduct an analysis of plant parts of Clerodendrum inerme to seek out chemicals present in plants. A screening was done to find compounds by estimating Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME) parameters using the canonical Simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES) on the SwissADME. On the SwissTargetPrediction tool, predictions of target proteins from compounds that pass screening are connected to various probable proteins. utilising the String-db  to show the network between target proteins and associated diseasesResults: The Clerodendrum inerme consist of 24 different compound. The 24 compounds were screened, and the results showed that 4 of them, specifically (Z)-3-Hexenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside, Rhodioloside, Sammangaoside B, and Clerodermic acid, had the potential to be developed into therapeutic agent. The compound are then analysed in order to find the protein target associated with diabetes mellitus and predict its networks. The findings indicate that multiple target proteins, including GSK3B, PPARG, DPP4, and STAT3, are connected to diabetes mellitus.Conclusion: It has been shown that (Z)-3-Hexenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside, or clerodermic acid, is able to attach to the proteins GSK3B, PPARG, DPP4, and STAT3, which are all linked to diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Background: Inflammatory cells play an essential role in the neoplastic process by stimulating cancer proliferation, survival, and migration. Neutrophil-lymphocyte and platelet-lymphocyte levels can be used as the inflammatory tissue damage markers in cancer patients.Objective: This study aimed to analyze the increase of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet–lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as the predictive factors for lung malignancy.Methods: This study was a diagnostic cross-sectional study design in lung tumor patients at Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta from August to October 2018. The subjects (60) were selected with consecutive sampling who take lung cancer diagnostic tests and divided into two groups of patients with lung tumors (30) and healthy (30) as control. The diagnostic procedures and neutrophil–lymphocyte and platelet–lymphocyte ratios calculation were performed on both groups. The optimum cutoff values for the NLR and PLR were calculated from the receiver operating curve analysis.Results: The statistical test found a significant difference in the neutrophil–lymphocyte and platelet–lymphocyte ratios between cancer patients and control (p = 0.0000). The lung cancer group exhibited an increase in the NLR with 90.0% sensitivity and 96.7% specificity with a cutoff of 2.71. The platelet–lymphocyte ratio had a cutoff of 136.63 at 83.3% sensitivity and 80.0% specificity.Conclusion: The increase of neutrophil-lymphocyte and the platelet-lymphocyte ratio can be used as a predictive predictor of lung malignancy.
