Abstract

Background: Adamantiades–Behçet is a genetically determined disorder with a probable environmental triggering factor and is an inflammatory disease representing vasculitis. Chronic relapsing progressive course, Dapson prevents problems in other organs. Case Report: A 31-year-old woman with chief complaints of a progressive painful ulcer on her genitalia in the last month, covered by pus and with a bad odor, and also recurrent tongue sores that healed spontaneously. Multiple partner sexual intercourse, joint pain, and an eye complaint were denied. Her husband has no history of previous sexually transmitted diseases. The labia majora region showed a solitary ulcer, sharply marginated, and covered with pus. The Haemophilus ducreyi, pathergy, VDRL, TPHA, and rapid test HIV all came back negative. Enterococcus faecalis, found in bacterial culture, is sensitive to Penicillin and glycopeptide. Histopathologically recited vasculitis with thrombus in the blood vessel marks Behcet disease. The patient was given Mefenamic Acid (3x500mg), doxycicline (2x100 mg), and a wet dressing. The ulcer decreased in size after 3 weeks of treatment. Discussion: Adamantiades-Behçett disease is characterized by chronic, recurrent oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, skin lesions, ocular lesions, and arthritis or arthropathy. Viral and bacterial infections have been implicated in initiating immunopathologic pathways. The pathergy test is pathognomonic, but it is not specific and often gives a negative result. Histopathological examination is still the best option to establish the diagnosis.

Abstract

Background: The gram-negative bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the source of the STI known as gonorrhea. N. gonorrhoeae can adapt well to humans as a host and become a pathogen with sophisticated mechanisms to avoid the innate immune response as well as suppress the adaptive immune response. Lately, zoliflodacin was shown to have antibacterial activity against N. gonorrhoeae. Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the antibacterial activity of zoliflodacin against N. gonorrhoeae. Methods: We followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines to systematically search and collect literature in the following databases: ProQuest, EBSCOhost, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Taylor&Francis, SAGE, JSTOR, and Wiley, without time limitation (until October 9th,  2022). Titles and abstracts were reviewed for relevance. The inclusion criteria were original article written in English that investigated the effects of zoliflodacin in patients with gonorrhea. From 177 studies, we retrieved five studies for this study, published between 2015 and 2021. Results: Zoliflodacin was highly active in vitro against N. gonorrhoeae isolates from European countries, China, Thailand, and South Africa, and also showed potent antimicrobial activity against multi-resistant N. gonorrhoeae isolates in South Korea. There were three different kinds of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) evaluated, with the following results: modal MIC (0.064-0.25 μg/mL), MIC50 (0.03-0.125 μg/mL), and MIC90 (0.06-0.25 μg/mL). There was no cross-resistance to antimicrobials currently or previously used for gonorrhea treatment. This MIC range could be used for further studies.

Abstract

Background: The attention of leprosy management has shifted to reduce the burden of leprosy complications, including leprosy reactions. Leprosy reaction is the predominant cause of nerve impairment that leads to disability and lowers the quality of life of the affected. Purpose: The aim of this study was to provide primary data about leprosy reaction epidemiology, risk factor, and outcomes in the post-elimination era.  Methods: A cross-sectional study was held in a general hospital in Gresik City, Indonesia, to give clinical demography, risk factors, and outcomes of leprosy reaction. Result: New leprosy reaction cases remain detected each year. There were 57 (58.8%) out of 97 leprosy patients who had a reactional episode. The incidence of leprosy reactions has been increasing in the last three years. The multibacillary (MB) group and type 2 reactions dominated leprosy reactions, which mostly occurred in the young adult population. Some of the leprosy reaction patients had developed a complication due to prolonged steroid usage. Conclusion: Leprosy cases in a young population with a high risk of developing reaction episodes need collaboration in the management to prevent deformity in youth.

Abstract

Background: One of the most prevalent skin conditions worldwide is acne vulgaris (AV). Even mild forms of AV could have an adverse impact on psychological wellbeing. Purpose: To explore the profile of mild AV patients in a tertiary care facility in Surabaya, Indonesia. Method: This was a descriptive study conducted for eight weeks. Data regarding the patient's identity, history, skin type, and complaints related to AV or other complaints that arose were noted on the sample's medical record and collected for analysis. The Lehmann classification was used to assess the AV degree. Result: A total of 34 patients were included. Gender equality was similar in our study, and late adolescence (17-25 years) is the most dominant age group (73.5%). Genetics plays the biggest precipitating factor (73.5%), followed by stress (70.6%). Most patients had an oily skin type (91.2%) with Fitzpatrick's phototype 4 (85.3%). Comedone is the most prevalent lesion in our study (median = 10, range = 4-20). Conclusion: Most patients with mild AV had an oily skin type, and late adolescent is most dominant age group.

Abstract

Background: Keloid is a growth of fibrous tissue in the wound tissue of susceptible individuals. This tissue extends beyond the boundaries of the previous wound. The site of keloids commonly appears on a high-tension area, such as the chest, shoulders, and neck. Histopathologically keloids show thickened the epidermis and the vascularization and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the dermis. Purpose: This study aims to determine the relationship between the site of keloids and the histopathological appearance of keloids. Methods: An analytical observational study was conducted on keloid patients visiting the Dermatovenereology outpatient clinic of Dr.Moewardi Hospital. The sample collection used consecutive sampling techniques Result: The majority of keloid patients are >30 years old (46.4%). Most patients with keloids were female (53.6%). Keloids were mostly found on the chest (25.0%). Tounge-like appearance of the epidermis at the edges of the lesions was mostly on the shoulders and chest (33.3% each, p=0.048); flattened appearance was found on the middle epidermis of the lesions, which were mostly on the ears, shoulders, and upper extremities (22.7% each, p=0.011). Increased vascularity was found in the dermis at the edges of the lesions, especially in the ear and chest areas (31.3% each, p=0.046). Moderate-severe inflammatory infiltrates in the dermis at the edges of the lesions were commonly found on the chest (p=0.04). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the site of the lesion and the histopathological appearance of the keloid in epidermal as well as dermal layers.

Abstract

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer and can cause local tissue damage. BCC can occur in all populations, regardless of skin color. Dermoscopy has compatibility with histopathology in determining the benign or malignant nature of a lesion. Dermoscopy can improve the diagnostic accuracy of BCC by >90%, with 7 parameters that can be found: arborizing vessels, blue-gray ovoid nests, blue-gray dots/globules, maple leaf-like areas, spoke-wheel areas, ulceration, and hiny white areas. Purpose: To assess the compatibility of each dermoscopy parameter with its corresponding histopathological parameters. Methods: Observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach was performed. Dermoscopy parameters were obtained by reassessing all photographs, while histopathological parameters were obtained from pre-existing slide reviews. Cohen's Kappa test was performed to analyze both variables. Result: A Total of 26 samples met the inclusion criteria. Most BCCs were found in female sex (65.4%), age >50 years (80.8%), and facial location (88.5%). Cohen's Kappa test was significant in 2 out of 7 dermoscopy parameters: "blue-gray ovoid nests" (p = 0.0019; r = 0.458) and "spoke wheel areas" (p = 0.037; r = 0.371). The "shiny white areas” parameter could not be analyzed because there was no negative variation in the examination. The possibility of false positives and negatives could not be ruled out.  Conclusion: Significance between the two variables is found in 28.6% of the 7 parameters analyzed...

Abstract

Background: Keloids are dermal fibro-proliferative disorders due to prolonged wound healing processes with excessive collagen depositions, which produce symptoms of itching and pain, cosmetic disfigurement, and limitation of joint motion. Standard treatment for keloid has not been accepted yet. It may be due to the complexities and poorly understood keloid development that are driven by various factors from systemic to local, genetic to epigenetic. Since genetic factors are difficult to manipulate, an approach to epigenetic factors may be hopeful. Purpose: To review various related reports on epigenetic factors such as DNA methylations, histone modifications, and micro-RNAs, which have significant roles in keloid development and can be used as targets for novel agents in keloid treatment. Review: Various genes in keloid fibroblasts (KFs) are repressed by DNA methylation, and one of them can inhibit the regulation of TGF-β1/Smad signaling, whereas another gene may influence anti-fibrotic events. Either inhibitor of methyl-transferase, inhibitor of histone-acetyltransferase, or histone-deacetylase can reduce TGF-β1/Smad signaling in KFs. Abnormal expressions of pro-fibrotic miRNAs have been identified in KFs and transfection KFs with anti-fibrotic miRNAs such as miRNA-205 and miRNA- 31, evidently can inhibit VEGF signaling. Furthermore, transfection of miRNA-637 into KFs can inhibit KFs in proliferation, migration, and collagen synthesis through TGF-β1/Smad signaling. Apoptosis and cellular senescence in KFs can also be stimulated by miRA-34 and miRNA-30. Conclusion: In the future, targets in epigenetic events such as inhibitors of methyl-transferase, histone-acetyltransferases, and histone-deacetylases, together with various miRNA, may be applied as novel agents for the treatment of keloid.

Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that typically manifests in childhood and has a diverse etiology. In the United States, the prevalence of AD among adults was 4.9%, while in Japan it was 2.1%. The majority of people with AD have dry skin. Hanifin-Rajka criteria were the first to be established and are frequently used as diagnostic standards in research. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the Hanifin-Rajka criteria and skin hydration in adult patients with mild-moderate atopic dermatitis at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya March-May 2022.  Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study included adult patients with mild to moderate AD according to Hanifin-Rajka aged 18-64 years who visited the Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya between March and May 2022. Skin hydration was measured using a corneometer on the volar side of the left forearm in the skin area.  Result: Based on the major criteria, all participants had pruritus, typical morphology and distribution, and chronic or chronically recurrent dermatitis. As for the minor criteria, more varied results were obtained, one of which was xerosis, which was experienced by all participants. The skin hydration shows that the mean value for skin hydration was 39.8 ± 12.1. The lowest skin hydration was 21.4 and the highest was 87.4, both found in subjects with mild AD. Conclusion: ..
