Abstract

In vitro maturation (IVM) is a promising assisted reproductive technology (ART) for human infertility treatment. However, when cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) are removed from their follicular environment when manipulated in vitro, it can lead to a decrease of intra-oocyte cyclic adenosine 3’, 5’-monophosphare (cAMP) causing spontaneous nuclear maturation and an asynchrony with the oocytes’ cytoplasmic maturation, resulting in poor embryo developmental outcomes. Nuclear and cytoplasmic synchrony is important during oocyte maturation within antral follicles.It is maintained partially by the actions of c-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) binding with natriuretic peptide receptor 2 (NPR2), supporting high cAMP levels thus holding the oocyte in meiotic arrest. Addition of CNP to pre-IVM media has the capacity of maintaining cAMP levels and thus improve synchrony. Moreover, in women with advanced maternal age, successful IVM of aging oocytes faces significant challenges due to the morphological and cellular changes.  Inhibiting initiation of nuclear maturation by cAMP modulator, CNP during pre-IVM period and thus improve oocyte developmental competence regardless of oocyte age.

Abstract

Background:Female puberty starts when the pituitary hormone producing follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which will stimulate the ovaries to produce estrogen. Delayed puberty with primary amenorrhea in female is the lack of breast development followed by the absence of menses 3 years after the initiation of breast development. Sex chromosomes have an important role in determining the sex, germ cell differentiation of foetus, and reproductive functions of an offspring, thus, sex chromosomal aberrations frequently cause primary amenorrheaCase presentation: We report two delayed puberty cases with the chief complain of primary amenorrhea. Both cases showed hypoplasia of uterus and ovaries on pelvic imaging and hormonal assay showed low of FSH. The first case was gonadal dysgenesis with 46,XX karyotype and low level of estrogen and the second case was a turner syndrome with 45,X karyotype and normal level of estrogen. Conclusion:This study reported delayed puberty with primary amenorrhea cases due to different chromosomal aberration pattern which have similar clinical features. Therefore, cytogenetic examination is needed for any primary amenorrhea cases in order to accomplish the confirmatory diagnosis and for the clinicians to make a correct intervention and treatment.

Abstract

Introduction Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the leading cause of blindness in newborn babies worldwide. The benefit of anti-oxidant was investigated for ROP cases by assessing its effect on the oxidative stress of the tissues. Glutathione is a primary endogenous in human body and its supplementation has been discovered for its benefits towards some ocular diseases. This study aims to understand the effect of glutathione on oxidative stress marker, serum Malondialdehyde (MDA), in ROP rat models.Materials and methods This was an experimental study with post test only controlled group design. Sixteen Wistar rats that met our study criterias were divided into two groups, study group and control group. The study group were exposed to 95% oxygen for 4 hours / day followed by normoxic laboratory condition for 20 hours. Glutathione 1.5 mg / day were injected intramuscularly to rats in study group. The control group was exposed to 95% oxygen followed by normoxic laboratory condition with the same manner, and did not received glutathione. This cycle was repeated for 14 days. Both groups were settled in a room temperature settings on days 15-22. Serum sampel was collected from retroorbital vein. The malondialdehyde level was analyzed using MDA analyser kit.Results MDA level was found significantly higher in study group compared to control group (546.99 ng/ml vs 201.51 ng/ml, respectively, p 0,001).Conclusion Our study demonstrated a higher MDA levels in ROP rat models given glutathione injection compared to the control group.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground: Obesity is a disorder or disease characterized by the accumulation of excess fat in the body due to an imbalance in energy intake that is used for a long time. Accumulation of fat can reduce adiponectin, causing cardiac hypertrophy, endothelial vasodilation, and other cardiovascular diseases. Black garlic have high antioxidants in the form of S-Allylcysteine(SAC) which functions to increase adiponectin. Objective: To determine the effect of Black garlic on the histopathological picture of the heart and aorta of obese rats. Methods: This study was an experimental study with a randomized post-test only design with control group design with 5 groups of male white rats Sprague Dawley (Rattus novergicus) fed High Fat Fructose. Diet (HFFD) enriched with 1.25% cholesterol and 0.5% cholic acid for 8 weeks and was given black garlic intervention at doses of 450 mg / 200BW, 900mg / 200BW and 1350mg200 / BW for 4 weeks. Results: Giving black garlic significantly reduced body weight of rats (p = 0.001), and the results did not significantly reduce heart weight (p = 0.147), aortic weight (p = 0.061), histopathological changes in heart wall thickness (p = 0.423) and aortic wall thickness (p = 0.802). The effective doses of black garlic in this study were 450 mg / 200 grams BW, 900 mg / 200 grams rat BW and 1350 mg / 200 grams BW of rats. The optimal dose is 900 mg / 200 grams BW. Conclusion: Black garlic gave a significant reduction in body weight of rats and no significant reduction in heart weight, aortic weight, cardiac and aortic histopathological features.

Abstract

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in adults tends to have a poor prognosis and even more challenging to treat during pregnancy due to the mother and the fetus’s safety issue. Despite commonly found in 2nd and 3rd trimester, ALL found during 2nd trimester needs more comprehensive management on maintaining the pregnancy while chemotherapy cannot be delayed.Case Presentation: A 36-year-old woman at 27 weeks of gestation visited the hospital with multiple cervical lymphadenopathy and major weight loss for the last six months. Bicytopenia with leukocytosis is found, along with an increase in LDH, Ferritin, and low albumin level. Bone marrow biopsy had confirmed the diagnosis of ALL-L2. Positive immunophenotyping results on HLA-DR, CD10, CD19, CD20, which support the lymphoid Line-B subtype. The patient was treated with Vincristine 2 mg/IV weekly and 100 mg of oral prednisone for six weeks and maintain the pregnancy. Successful delivery was carried out at 32 weeks of gestational age by lower segment cesarean section due to premature rupture of the membrane. A baby girl was born weighed 1700 gram, APGAR Score 8/9/9, and has no disability on clinical or hematological features at the moment.Conclusion: ALL in pregnancy is very rare and extremely aggressive disease unless promptly treated. In this case report, it was a first pregnancy in advanced maternal age mother with high social value baby and can be treated succesfully using single regimen of chemoteraphy during pregnancy even though at the first time administered to hospital the mother come with critical clinical presentation. Leukemia in pregnancy is challenging and still need further study to increase the safety and better treatment outcome.Keywords: ALL in pregnancy, ALL-L2, Line-B Lymphoid, Immunophenotyping ALL

Abstract

Background: World Health Organization (WHO) data collection of Escherichia coli resistant to cephalosporin generation III already confirmed in 86 countries. Incredibly high carrier prevalence rates were also widely developed in Thailand, Egypt, and China. The Faculty of Medicine's research team at Jenderal Soedirman University, Purwokerto,  discovered at the beginning of 2018 that Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) E. coli carriers throughout the 2015 class students were 26.8 percent.Objective: This research investigated the Prevalence and associated factors of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE) asymptomatic carriers in the community.Methods: The participant fill a questionnaire, and samples were taken from rectal swabs using Amies transport medium (Labware Charuzu), and then models were analyze using HiCrome ™ ESBL Agar Base (Himedia, India). Analysis of its Prevalence and Resistance Predictors uses IBM SPSS Statistics Version 22.0 for Windows (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp).Results: The Prevalence of EPE asymptomatic carriers in the community in Purwokerto was 66.7%. In the bivariate analysis, subjects who took antacids in the last eight weeks, history of hospitalization in the previous 12 months, the habit of consuming milk, yogurt, cheese, meat, seafood, and raw vegetables did not show any significant difference. Frequent chicken and freshwater fish consumption tended to be a risk factor for ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae with PR 1.462, 95% CI (1.115-1.918); PR 1.666, 95% CI  (0.936-2.966); however, in the multivariate logistic regression analysis, this was not significant.Conclusion: The Prevalence of EPE asymptomatic carriers in the community in Purwokerto is 66.7%. All variables did not become any significant of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. However, ESBL remains an emerging antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract

Background: Keloid is a benign growth of connective tissue. There are several risk factors that play a role in keloid growth. Excision surgery is one of the modalities in the treatment of keloids. However, excision surgery alone has a recurrence rate of 45-100%.Case: Male, 37 years old, with complaints arising from a keloid lesions in the left earlobe since three years ago with a history of previous injuries. The lesions is then operated on but always grows back postoperatively. The number of surgeries that have been carried out three times with further treatment in the form of corticosteroid injection. However, keloid still recurrence. Finally it was decided to undergo treatment with surgery followed by radiotherapy within a period of no more than 24 hours postoperatively. Follow-up after six months gave good results without recurrence.Discussion: Keloid has a high recurrence rate after excision surgery. Surgery followed by radiotherapy has a low recurrence rate compared to surgery or surgery followed by administration of corticosteroid injections. Radiotherapy as adjuvant therapy for postoperative keloid excision has the role of sterilizing the connective tissue stem cell active fibroblasts and acute inflammatory cells that grow in the early postoperative period. A study states that administration of postoperative radiation with electrons in keloids in the earlobe at a dose of 15 Gy in three fractions gives a low recurrence rate and a low risk of side effects in the surrounding soft tissue.

Abstract

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an important cause of liver disease burden worldwide. The gastrointestinal microbiota has a close relationship with the liver as the liver is most exposed to intestinal bacteria. Microbial manipulation is a potential and effective therapy as an alternative in the management of NAFLD/NASH. It has been found that probiotics prevent NAFLD/NASH. However, the study about the protective effect of probiotics on NAFLD/NASH is still limited. Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of probiotics on liver histopathology Sprague Dawley rats which given high-fat high fructose (HFHFr) dietMethods: This study is a murine-model post-test-only control study group design. The samples were 21 Sprague Dawley male rats in 7 – 8 weeks of age and were divided into three groups. The Control Group (C) was provided with a standard chow diet for eight weeks. The Non-Probiotic (NP) group was given a High-Fat High Fructose (HFHFr) diet for eight weeks. The Probiotic group (P) was given a HFHFr diet for eight weeks, and a combination of HFHFr and probiotic supplementation consisted of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, and Streptococcus thermophilus for the next eight weeks. Histopathological samples were obtained from liver biopsy to assess steatosis, NAFLD activity score (NAS), and fibrosis stages. Wilcoxon test was done to analyze body weight before and after treatment. We analyzed the difference in histopathological results using the Mann-Whitney test.Results: We found a significant difference in NAFL and NAS Score between NP and P group. The P group was shown to have lower trends for NAFLD and NASH than the NP group, but not for fibrosis. There is no significant difference between pre and post-test body weight. Conclusion: Probiotics supplementation has a protective effect on liver histopathology against disturbances caused by the HFHFr diet.

Abstract

Background: Double coronary culprit lesions in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is uncommon. Despite successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in all culprit lesions, the clinical outcome remains unfavorable and the possible factors for the outcome are not fully understood.Cases Presentation: We reported four cases of double culprit lesions STEMI underwent PPCI. Patient A, a 62 y.o. male with extensive anterior-inferior STEMI, had total occlusion (TO) at both proximal left anterior descending (LAD) and mid right coronary artery (RCA). Patient B, a 42 y.o. male with extensive anterior-inferior STEMI, had subtotal occlusion (STO) at proximal RCA and TO at proximal LAD. Both of them had RBBB ECG pattern. Patient C, a 67 y.o. male with inferior STEMI had 90% thrombus occlusion at proximal–mid LAD and TO at proximal RCA. Patient D, a 65 y.o. male with anteroseptal STEMI, had STO at proximal LAD and 80% thrombus occlusion at mid left circumflex. The cardiomyocyte infarction biomarkers increased in all patients. Although all of them underwent successful PPCI in all of culprit lesions, they suffered from acute heart failure and two of them experienced recurrent ventricular arrhythmia episodes. One of them (patient A) died two days post PPCI. He was only patient who suffering from total occlusion in LAD and RCA with TIMI thrombus 5 and experienced a total atrioventricular block post-PPCI.Conclusion: STEMI with coronary double culprits have severe clinical outcome, regardless of the successful PCI. The degree of coronary occlusions might be linked to the patient clinical outcome.

Abstract

Background: Sex chromosomal Disorder of sex development (DSD) is an atypical abnormality of external genitalia which is mismatched with its sex chromosome traits. The condition of children with DSD affects the dynamics in the family. Parents’ reactions after discovering this health problem vary greatly, such as being in a state of shock, confusion, or self-blame. However, parents’ acceptance is extremely important for better quality of caring, to the healthy social and emotional child development, and to make the best decisions regarding gender assignment.Objective: To describe the acceptance process of parents that have children with sex chromosomes mosaicism DSD.Methods: This study used a mixed-method with a sequential explanatory approach, which was preceded by quantitative data collection followed by qualitative. The total respondents consisted of 14 mothers and 12 fathers of 14 sex chromosome mosaicism DSD patients with XX/XY, X/XY, XYY or XXY variants. Quantitative data were collected using the Indonesian version of the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ), and interviews were conducted to determine the acceptance process.Results: Most acceptance cases were based on the surgical stage completion in which a higher number of mothers (71.43%) than fathers (50%).Conclusion: It is uneasy for parents to accept children with sex chromosome mosaicisms DSD, hence the fathers struggle more than mothers in accepting those affected. To the best of our knowledge this is the first study in Indonesia to help parent understand and accept their child condition.
