Abstract

Nausea and vomiting may occur in patients receiving chemotherapy, a condition referred to as chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. The provision of combined dexamethasone and ondansetron or granisetron is the therapeutic management of acute phase nausea and vomiting in cytostatics with a high risk of nausea and vomiting. Granisetron has been known to have better pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics compared to ondansetron, so it is possible to have nausea and vomiting suppressing effect higher than that of ondansetron. This study aimed to compare antiemetic effectiveness of granisetron and dexamethasone with ondansetron and dexamethasone in acute-phase chemotherapy patients. This study was conducted in patients who received the combination of cisplatin-paclitaxel and cisplatin-fluorouracil, double-blind, with samples comprised new head and neck surgical oncology patients. Measurement of nausea and vomiting during the acute phase of chemotherapy was conducted using Index of Nausea, Vomiting, and Retching (INVR). Observation of nausea and vomiting in the patients was done during the first 12 hours after administration of cisplatin and interviews were conducted on h 12. Results showed that there was no difference in the effectiveness of nausea and vomiting suppression in the administration of granisetron and dexamethasone compared to ondanstron and dexamethasone in acute phase chemotherapy patients (p = 0.076).

Abstract

In the treatment of heart failure is recommended the use of a combination of ACEI (captopril) with diuretics (furosemide), ACEI has the side effect of hyperkalemia 10-38% in hospitalized patients and 10% in outpatients, is increased in patients with renal failure and diabetes mellitus, the use diuretics occur hypokalemia 5-20% in outpatients. Hyperkalemia and hypokalemia both should be avoided in heart failure patients, because it can cause cardiac conduction disorders such as cardiac arrhythmias This study aims to monitor levels of potassium in the use of combination therapy with furosemide captopril in heart failure patients. The study was conducted using the method Prospective Observational Cross Sectional Analysis, conducted in January-May 2015 in heart failure patients male and female NYHA II-III receiving combination therapy with furosemide Captopril met the inclusion criteria were treated in the department CVCU Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar. Potassium levels were measured pre and post administration of the combination therapy. A total of 37 patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in this study, 31 male patients (83.8%) and 6 female patients (16.2%) aged between 35-80 years, during this study after administration of the combination therapy, 5 patients (13.5%) had hypokalemia (<3.5 mmol/L) and 2 patients (5.4%) experienced hyperkalemia (> 5 mmol/L) and 30 patients (81.1%) of normal potassium levels (3,5 to 5.0 mmol/L). The test results paired t test p = 0.432 (p> α;α = 0.05) showed no significant differences between potassium levels pre and post potassium levels. In conclusion, the use of a combination of captopril and furosemide therapy, the risk of hyperkalemia and hypokalemia not significant but need to be monitored levels of potassium and ECG patient.

Abstract

Monitoring level of methotrexate is not only aimed at monitoring effectiveness, but also safety aspects of the administration of high-dose methotrexate because the use of high-dose methotrexate is one of the problems associated with toxicity in various organs.  In the use of high-dose methotrexate, measurement of methotrexate is important to identify patients with a high risk of toxicity, particularly nephrotoxicity as well as for dosing guidelines for leucovorin therapy. The aim of this study was to analyze the safety of high-dose methotrexate on kidney function during chemotherapy consolidation phase in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This was a longitudinal, observational prospective study conducted to determine the safety profile of high-dose methotrexate on kidney function during chemotherapy consolidation phase in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were given high-dose methotrexate according to the 2013 Indonesian ALL Chemotherapy Protocol. Measurement of methotrexate level and kidney function was done 3 times on each cycle of chemotherapy consolidation phase. Measurements were made on the 0, 24 and 48 hours after the first drop of high-dose methotrexate. This study had been reviewed by Ethics Committee of Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. There were 12 patients who met inclusion criteria and 6 patients among them had finished their chemotherapy consolidation phase completely. There was no significant change in kidney function after the administration of high-dose methotrexate compared to baseline (p>0.05) and there was no significant correlation between serum level of methotrexate versus creatinine clearance. In conclusion, methotrexate was safe to use in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Abstract

Diagnosis and management of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) requires a multidisciplinary approach and includes the knowledge of the pathophysiology of the blood vessels. The incidence of vascular anomalies is rare, and they are mainly localized in the head or upper extremity. There are studies on AVM with dermatological manifestations. However, studies involving manifestations in foot are rare. The goal of this report is to provide diagnosis and treatment case of an 19 year-old boy with arterio-venous malformation of the foot. A 19-year-old Indonesian male presented with a chief complaint of a painful mass on his plantar medial right foot that had been present since his birth and had increased in size. Physical examination revealed a large plantar medial mass, with size ± 8 x 5 cm, slightly mobile, bluish, soft, and non-compressible. The mass was pulsatile on palpation and no bruit. The working diagnosis of this patient was AVM. MRI showed there was a punctat or nidus, granular hyperintense in the middle and pedis with a draining vein, and the mass was laying from subcutaneous and extended into muscular layer. Surgical management was performed. Excision of AVM in subcutaneous part was combined with injection of polidocanol 1% in muscular side. Tissue pathology results revealed AVM with no evidence of malignancy. Evaluation wounds after 2 days of operation: there was no bleeding, no signs of infection, pain was reduced. Four weeks after surgery, the patient slowly could bear his full weight on his foot, and the mass and local pain were totally reduced. Length of stay in hospitals was 4 days. This report described an unusual localization of an arteriovenous malformation. Arteriovenous malformation in foot is a challenging malformation that can be successfully managed with excision and sclerosing agents.

Abstract

Carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) has caused trouble in therapeutic antibiotic selection. Carbapenemase screening procedure in laboratories is usually based on inacurate semi-automatic system. Confirmation and classification of carbapenemases according to Ambler can be done with combination of phenotypic methods, i.e., Modified Hodge Test (MHT), Sodium Mercaptoacetic Acid (SMA), and 3-Aminophenylboronic Acid (PBA). This study aimed to compare profiles of carbapenemase-producing E. coli which were confirmed and classified phenotypically with the genotypic profiles. E. coli isolates from urine specimens which were potential as carbapenemase-producers according to semi-automatic system BD Phoenix were phenotypically tested with MHT, SMA, and PBA. Isolates were grouped as carbapenemase-producers and non carbapenemase-producers. Phenotypic carbapenemase-producer isolates were classified based on Ambler criteria. All isolates were then tested with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for the presence of OXA-48, IMP1, IMP2, GES, VIM, NDM, KPC genes. Out of 30 isolates, 6 isolates (20.0%) were MHT positive, and 25 isolates (83.3%) were SMA positive, which indicated that most isolates produced were carbapenemase Ambler B. PCR confirmed 12 isolates (40.0%) had VIM gene which were classified as carbapenemase Ambler B. Phenotypic confirmatory test had 100% sensitivity and 22.2% specificity. Classification with phenotypic confirmatory test had 91.7% match with PCR. Phenotypic confirmatory test detected more carbapenemase than PCR. This low specificity may be caused by inappropriate use of diagnostic gold standard. PCR should not be used for routine carbapenemase confirmation because of vast diversity of carbapenemases. Phenotypic confirmatory test can classify carbapenemase according to Ambler classification.

Abstract

Endothelial dysfunction is an initial condition of atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases where one of the risk factors is hypercholesterolemia. Blood cholesterol levels is associated with an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The increasing of ROS production can cause increased oxidative stress which in turn resulting in endothelial dysfunction. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is one of the antioxidant compound that has been developed and studied. In this study we found that the use of ALA in Rattus norvegicus rats signifficantly lower the total cholesterol levels at dose 60 mg/kgBW (p=0.020). ALA also inhibit the expression of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 (MCP-1) at dose 60 mg/kgBW (p=0.044) and reduces the formation of Malondialdehyde (MDA) at dose 120 mg/kgBW (p=0.009), which is the initial stage of the atherogenic development and prognosis of events, thus, ALA can reduce the risk of further damage to the endothelium.

Abstract

Glucocorticoid is widely used in medical treatment as an immune system or an inflammation therapy. However its long term administration can cause life-threatening side effects. One of them is bone mass loss which increases the risk of bone fractures in the long-term use. Bone lining cells derived from mesenchymal stem cells, which serve as a backup cell bone-forming osteoblasts. Glucocorticoids acting directly on osteoblasts, bone lining cells when reduced due to increased apoptosis, the reserve cells to bone formation will be decreased. The aim of this study was to count the amount of apoptotic bone lining cells after long term glucocorticoid administration. This study used Rattus norvegicus females aged 3 months that were divided into 3 groups, each group consisted of 7 rats. The groups are: (1) control group; (2) treatment group 1 were given glucocorticoid 0.01 mg/day; (3) treatment group 2 were given glucocorticoid 0.2mg/day. The treatment carried out for 4 weeks and at the end of treatment, rats were sacrified and continued with preparation, and the number of bone lining cells that undergoing apoptosis was calculated through examination of the femur bone tissue metaphysis section using immunohistochemical technique. All data were analyzed with statistical analysis Anova. The result showed that the number of apoptotic bone lining cells increased in group with glucocorticoid administration 0.01 mg/day and 0.2 mg/day compared to control group with p = 0.000 (p <0.05). The number of apoptotic bone lining cells on the group of glucocorticoid dose 0.2 mg/day higher than the group of glucocorticoid dose 0.01 mg/day with p = 0.000 (p <0.05). In conclusion, long term glucocorticoid administration increase apoptosis of bone lining cells.

Abstract

Delivery, induction, stimulation, cesarean section with the aid of a vacuum extraction, for example, can reduce maternal confidence on the smooth delivery process, as well as improve postpartum stress. These stressors stimulate the HPA axis (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal), so that the adrenal cortex produces more cortisol hormone, it can increase postpartum blues. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of delivery stimulation on protracted labor on cortisol levels and the occurrence of postpartum baby blues. This was an experimental study of non-randomized post-test control group. The subject of the study 30 patients in labor taken consecutive sampling, divided into 2 groups (normal delivery and stimulation) each group consist of 15 patients. In stimulation delivery group, it is examined of cortisol serum levels after five days and then continued for postpartum blues occurrence measurement. Statistical analysis using t-test for differences in levels of cortisol and chi square for analyzing the effect on the occurrence of post-partum blues (a=0.05). Mean  level of cortisol in delivery stimulation group is 40.29 ± 5.58, in normal delivery is 33.59 ± 11.17, with p=0.047, meaning there are significant differences both study groups. Stimulation delivery increases the occurrence of post-partum blues 5.50 times compared to normal delivery (OR=5.50 and p=0.028). Mean cortisol levels on post-partum blues higher at 42.90 ± 6.97 compared to no post-partum blues 30.14 ± 6.66, p=0:00, which means there are significant differences both groups. In conclusion, there was significant relationship between stimulation in protrated labor that increases cortisol serum level and post partum blues incidence.
