Abstract

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and Procalcitonin (PCT) are biomarkers that represent inflammatory activity and immune status as predictors for the prognosis of COVID-19 patients. NLR values and PCT levels are positively correlated with the severity of COVID-19, but the relationship between the two biomarkers is unclear. Objectives: To analyzed the correlation between NLR values and PCT levels in COVID-19 patients in Jember Regency. Methods: This cross-sectional analytic observational study, conducted from March to April 2022, took data from 444 confirmed COVID-19 patients at the Jember Clinic Plantation Hospital. Secondary data were obtained from medical records of inpatients for the period January–December 2021. Results: The average NLR value was 8.58, while the average PCT level was 0.43 ng/mL. The results of the Spearman Correlation Analysis showed a positive correlation between NLR values and PCT levels in COVID-19 patients in the Jember Regency with a p-value = 0.00 and a moderate degree of correlation with an r count of 0.41. Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between NLR values and PCT levels for COVID-19 patients in Jember Regency. It is necessary to carry out routine NLR and PCT examinations to consider predictors of disease severity and prognosis in COVID-19 patients.Keywords:  COVID-19, NLR, PCT

Abstract

Hyperglycemia has increased arachidonic acid thromboxane which is an effective ingredient in platelet activation. Thrombocytopenia in COVID-19 patients occurs through a variety of mechanisms, such as uncontrolled production of cytokines destroying bone marrow progenitor cells, direct inhibition of hematopoiesis viral infection of the bone marrow, increase in autoantibodies and immune complexes that cause platelet destruction, and lung injury that causes platelet aggregation and consumption of platelets so that platelets in the circulation are reduced. Objectives: To analyzed the ratio of platelet counts in COVID-19-positive patients who had different blood glucose levels. Methods: This research used secondary data, with types of analytical observational research as well as comparative study approaches. Statistical tests were conducted using an independent samples t-test with a confidence level of 95%. Results: The average platelet count was normal, but a low platelet count of 3.30% was obtained with normal blood glucose levels and a high platelet count of 2.20% with normal blood glucose levels, with a significance value of platelet count with normal blood glucose levels of 0.790 and platelet counts with blood glucose levels above normal which is 0.791 with a confidence level of 95%. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the platelet count in COVID-19 patients with normal and above normal blood glucose levelsKeywords: blood glucose, platelets, COVID-19

Abstract

Actinomycetes are filamentous, Gram-positive bacteria widely distributed in soil and can produce secondary metabolites useful as antibiotics. The synthesis of secondary metabolites of Actinomycetes is influenced by the growth conditions of each isolate, including the fermentation period. Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen causing lower respiratory tract infection. Objectives: To determined the inhibition activity of Actinomycetes with different fermentation periods against the growth of  K.pneumoniae. Methods: Actinomycetes were isolated from soil in Kebun Raya Bogor and grown on Starch Casein Agar (SCA) medium before being fermented in liquid media consisting of 2% of mannitol, 2% of peptone, and 1% of glucose with an incubation time of 6,7, and 8 days. An antibacterial activity test was conducted on Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA) medium using the well diffusion method. Results: The activity of Actinomycetes isolates with fermentation duration of 6,7 and 8 were able to inhibit the growth of K. pneumoniae with an average inhibition zone of 4,46 mm; 4,94 mm; and 5,04 mm, respectively. Actinomycetes' inhibitory mechanism ranges from inhibition of cell wall synthesis to nucleic acid and protein synthesis. One Way ANOVA test showed significant differences between the inhibition zone produced by each fermentation group. Conclusion: Actinomycetes isolates have antibacterial activity against the growth of K. pneumoniae with the highest activity achieved by Actinomycetes with a fermentation time of 8 days.Keywords:  Actinomycetes, antibacterial, fermentation, Klebsiella pneumoniae

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global pandemic to date. Some studies reported gastrointestinal tract (GIT) bleeding occurs in several patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Medications known to be associated with an increased risk of GIT bleeding were not associated with GIT bleeding in COVID-19 patients. Objectives: To examined the risk of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) bleeding in COVID-19 patients based on antiviral drugs at Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Methods: A nested cohort study was conducted in Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang from May until October 2021. All COVID-19 patients who received antiviral drugs with GIT bleeding with onset days 0 - 7 were included. COVID-19 was confirmed by RT-PCR swab. Data entry and analysis were conducted by computerized. Results: 30 patients were involved in this study. 43,3% COVID-19 Moderate stage and 56,7% Severe stage. 63,3% were treated with remdesivir and 36,7% were treated with favipiravir. Onset on GIT tract bleeding at day 4 (23,3%), day 5 (26.7%), day 6 (30%), and day 7 (20%). The Chi-square test to determine the factors associated with GIT bleeding in COVID-19 patients including COVID-19 severity, type of antiviral drugs, anticoagulant, and corticosteroid revealed that none of all potential factors above related to GI bleeding. Conclusion: The type of antiviral drugs was not related to GIT bleeding in COVID-19 patients.Keywords: antiviral drugs,  COVID-19, gastrointestinal tract bleeding

Abstract

Low birth weight (LBW) babies are closely related to infant morbidity, stunted growth and cognitive development, and chronic diseases. Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a condition that complicates pregnancy and is closely related to low birth weight. Objectives: To determined the incidence of LBW in mothers with SPA at the hospital Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung. Methods: A descriptive observational study involving 71 cases of SPA in hospitals  Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung, period 2016-2020, which has met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. SPA cases were divided into three groups: placenta accreta, increta, and percreta. In each SPA group, the incidence of LBW was evaluated. Results: 46.5% (33/71 cases of PAS) had low birth weight, while 53.5% (38/71 cases of PAS) had normal birth weight babies. The placenta accreta and percreta groups were dominated by normal birth weight infants [(18/31 cases), (5/9 cases)], while the placenta increta group was dominated by low birth weight infants (16/31 cases). The LBW category is divided into Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW), Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW), and LBW. In placenta accreta, there were 2 ELBW and VLBW infants, and 9 LBW infants. In the placenta increta, there are 3 ELBW and VLBW, and 10 LBW. In the placenta percreta, there were 1 ELBW and 3 LBW, while VLBW was not found in the placenta percreta. Conclusion: The incidence of LBW is found in almost half the population of SPA cases in hospitals. DR. Hasan Sadikin in the 2016-2020 period.Keywords:  low birth weight, placenta accreta spectrum

Abstract

A  decrease in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) happens in type 2 diabetes mellitus. The cytokines TNFa and IL-6 are proinflammatory cytokines that are elevated in the blood in many patients with DM. Turmeric is one of the natural ingredients with antioxidant, anti-cholesterol, and anti-inflammatory properties through its active substance, curcumin. Objective: To prove the effectiveness of the combination of metformin and turmeric extract on HDL levels, TNFa levels, and IL-6 levels in Streptozotocin-Nicotinamide-induced Wistar rats. Methods: The study used a post-test-only controlled group design. The subjects were 24 male Wistar rats which were randomly divided into four groups, namely K1, K2, P1, and P2. The whole group was a type 2 DM model induced by streptozotocin-nicotinamide. Group K2 was given metformin 45mg/KgBW/day, group P1 was given turmeric extract at a dose of 200 mg/KgBW/day, and group P2 was given a combination of metformin and turmeric extract. On day 15, blood was drawn for HDL, IL-6, and TNFa examination. The data were analyzed using the one-way Anova test. Results: The mean HDL level in the P2 group (72,4±33,31) was the highest compared to the other three groups. The lowest mean TNFa level among the four groups was the P2 group (7,56±0,44). The lowest mean levels of IL-6 were obtained in the P2 group (58,82±2,15). One-way Anova test on HDL, IL-6, and TNFa levels showed a significant difference between groups with p-value = 0.000. Conclusion: The combination of metformin and turmeric extract can increase HDL levels and reduce IL-6 levels and TNFa levels better than giving metformin or turmeric extract alone.Keywords:  turmeric extract, HDL, IL-6, TNFa

Abstract

Capillary hemangioma is a benign tumor developed from the abnormal proliferation of blood vessels. This tumor appears on eyelids and orbit. Around 75% of hemangioma resolves spontaneously in the first 4-5 years of life. Intervention is needed in hemangioma that obstructs the visual axis. It has been reported that a two-year-old girl came to Polyclinic with a mass on the left superior eyelid 1,5 years ago. At first, the left superior eyelid looked puffy, then developed slowly until it covered the left eye. On the examination of the left eye, visual acuity assessment was hard to perform. Mass in superior palpebral was 8mm x 8mm x 8mm, reddish colored (different with adjacent skin), consistency supple, mobile, painful (-), edema (+), horizontal palpebral fissure (FPH) 30 mm, vertical palpebral fissure (FPV) 0 mm. CT scan showed suspected hemangioma. The patient was diagnosed with capillary hemangioma and given an injection of triamcinolone acetate intralesional and oral propranolol under the supervision of a pediatrician. Significant clinical improvement was observed after 40 days of injection, where the mass was resolved completely. The FPV and FPH of the left eye had improved to 9 mm and 30 mm, respectively, with the patient finally able to follow the object. The combination of intralesional triamcinolone acetate and oral propranolol in this case is quite effective in providing complete resolution of capillary hemangioma.Keywords:  capillary hemangioma, triamcinolone acetate injection, propanolol
