Abstract

Cancer patients have a tendency to experience mental disorders, because the physical changes cause frustration and despair. It impacts on anxiety, depression, and social isolation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of mindfullness meditation to stress levels and coping mechanisms in cancer patients. This study used pre experimental approach with one group pre-test post-test design. Samples were 32 cancer patients with composmentis condition in Indonesian Cancer Foundation East Java Branch, taken by total sampling. The instrument was Perceived Stress Scale and Coping Strategies Inventory. Statistics was verified with Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test and Paired T-test P < 0.05. Results showed the effect of Mindfulness Meditation on the level of stress p = 0.001, the adaptive of coping mechanisms p = 0.001 and maldaptive p = 0.003. In conclusion, Mindfulness meditation can cause the respondent to concentrate and focus on themselves, and also strengthen brain regions at the center of attention and executive function, interoception and mental flexibility.

Abstract

Thiamine, also called vitamin B1, is a water soluble vitamin that is involved in the formation of ATP in cells. The active metabolite of thiamine is a co-enzyme thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) that plays an active role in carbohydrate metabolism and the formation of amino acid binding conjugates. Directly, thiamine may increase energy production in heart muscle cells through such mechanism, whereas in conditions of heart failure, a decrease in the contractility of  heart muscle may be found. Therefore, thiamine supplementation is needed in stage II heart failure patients due to long-term use of furosemide that triggers the thiamine deficiency condition. Thiamine supplementation here is enabled to increase heart cells contractility which may ultimately increase the ejection fraction value of the heart muscle as a parameter of heart work efficiency measurement. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of thiamine administration as a therapeutic supplement in stage II of heart failure patients on the ejection fraction rate changes in pre and post thiamine supplement therapy for 28 days. The study was conducted using Cross Sectional Prospective Observational Analysis method between April and August 2016 in male patients with NYHA II heart failure who received furosemide therapy meeting the inclusion criteria at Heart Clinic Jemursari Islamic Hospital, Surabaya. Patients who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria in this study were 32 patients, 16 control patients and 16 treatment group patients between the ages of 35-75 years. During this study, after supplementation of thiamine 300 mg/day, 16 patients in the treatment group experienced an increase in ejection fraction rate (13.5%). The result of paired t test p=0.000 (p<α; α=0,05) showed significant difference between ejection fraction rate of pre and post thiamin supplementation. This study concluded that thiamine supplement therapy of 300 mg/day could increase the ejection fraction rate in patients of stage II heart failure.

Abstract

This case-control study was conducted to assess the relative role of genetic and environmental factors in determining the clinical manifestations of atopy allergy disease in school children, which is part of a large study of the prevalence of allergic diseases in school children in Surabaya. Using a simple multi-stage random sampling, 348 children from 5 elementary schools, 4 junior high schools, and 4 senior high schools in Surabaya were involved in the study. The subjects of the study along with her parents were guided to fill out the modified ISAAC questionnaire and underwent physical examination and skin prick test using 27 common allergen types found in the environment. For the analysis, 110 school children were randomly selected from the parent sample and included in the case group of 55 people (positive skin prick test against > 1 type of allergen), and the control group of 55 people (negative skin prick test). All genetic and environmental factors data were collected and analyzed. Most of the subjects had clinical manifestations of allergic rhinitis (66.36%), asthma (21.82%), food allergies (10.9%), and atopic dermatitis (6.36%). Complete models for multiple logistic regression analysis can only be performed for overall atopic disease and allergic rhinitis disease. The first birth order and exposure to home dust mites were the most significant clinical manifestations of atopy disease (OR 4.548, 95% CI: 1.813-11.410, p=0.01). Atopy status of the father was the only significant determinant factor for the manifestation of allergic rhinitis in the study subjects (OR 3.929; 95% CI: 1.143-13.052, p=0.03). Both genetic and environmental factors interacted and determined clinical manifestations of atopy allergy disease in school pupils. The father's genetic factors were more dominant than maternal genetic factors in determining the clinical manifestations of allergic rhinitis in offspring.

Abstract

Mammary Serine Protease Inhibitor (maspin) is a tumor suppressor gene, a member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) family that works by inhibiting motility of cell movement, invasion and metastasis. Maspin expression is expected to be a prognostic factor as well as a predictive factor in mammary tumors. However, in some recent studies, maspin has a variety of expressions. Although it is known that no maspine appears as an indicator of tumor progression and metastasis, recent study has shown that maspine expression is associated with an aggressive phenotype of breast cancer and with a poor prognosis. Correlations between maspine expression and poor prognosis have also been reported in pancreatic, ovarian, thyroid, bladder and lung cancers. Knowledge of the expression and role of this maspin as well as its relationship with the pathogenesis of breast invasive ductal carcinoma is still small. The aim of this study was to look at differences in maspin expression in breast-invasive ductal carcinoma of stage IIA and stage IIIB groups. This research method used analytic observational research with cross sectional approach. The samples were invasive carcinoma of NST paraffin at the Department of Anatomic Pathology of Dr Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya, from January to December 2015. Thirty samples were divided into two groups, namely stage IIA and stage IIIB groups and immunohistochemical examination with maspin antibody was carried out. The difference of maspin expression in stage IIA and stage IIIB was analyzed using Mann-Whitney statistic test. There were significant differences in maspin expression between stage IIA and stage IIIB groups, where stage IIA has a high maspin expression rather than stage IIIB.

Abstract

Edamame (Glycine max) is a preparation of immature soybeans in the pod, which is high in calcium and dietary fiber, two elements described in previous studies that could alter the level of post-prandial serum triglyceride.The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of edamame (Glycine max) extract on post-prandial serum triglyceride in rats after intragastric administration of palm oil.The materials used in this study are palm oil, edamame extract, and ether. The design of this study is experimental post-test study design, which is a design to measure the serum triglyceride level after meal with and without Glycine max. Triglyceride is measured on each subject two times on total, first one after consumption of meal without Glycine max and the second one after consumption of meal with Glycine max. There is a washout period of 1 week between two times the samples were taken. Both results are then compared in every subject.The level of 2-hour post-prandial serum triglyceride in rats after palm oil without intragastric edamame (Glycine max) extract administration and with intragastric edamame (Glycine max) extract administration showed no significant difference. In conclusion, edamame (Glycine max) extract had no effect on 2-hour post-prandial serum triglyceride after palm oil administration via intragastric tube.

Abstract

Stroke is still a major health problem in the world. Ischemic stroke accounts for 87% of all acute stroke occurrences. In 2013, the American Heart Association (AHA)/American Stroke Association (ASA), published a Guideline for the Early Management of Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke. The managements consist of the use of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA), endovascular treatment, etc. Unlike acute ischemic stroke, until now, no guidelines have been provided about the management of chronic ischemic stroke that approved universally. The result of the study with the title of "Intra Arterial Heparin Flushing Increases Manual Muscle Test – Medical Research Councils (MMT-MRC) Score in Chronic Ischemic Stroke Patient” is very interesting, because it is a new attempt to treat patients with chronic ischemic stroke. The purpose of this article is to review the study mentioned above, in accordance with the applied scientific principles and is based on the standard literatures and guidelines. Our review is limited only to the discussion of the study results. From this discussion can be proved the existing references that support and/or refuse the study results. Based on the discussions and conclusions of this study, there were no references to support that IAHF can improve motor functions (muscles) in patients with chronic ischemic stroke.

Abstract

Indonesia has a variety of herbal plants used as herbal/traditional medicines. Singawalang (Petiveria alliacea) is one of the herbal plants usually used in the United States as a cough medicine because of its expectorant effect. Singawalang plants are also widely used to cure tuberculosis. However, the investigations on the effects of toxicity on this plant leaf extract has not been done. This study aims to investigate the effects of active compounds in singawalang against Mycobacterium tuberculosis using a variety of solvents. The active compound of ethanol extract was obtained by maceration using ethanol solvent. The extract was then fractionated using column chromatography method, and using gradual eluent to produce fraction. The doses used were 0.5 mg/ml; 1 mg/ml; 2 mg/ml; 70% ethanol, h-hexane, benzene, chloroform, ethylacetate, silica gel 60GF254, Middlebrook 7H9, and 7H10. The reactions using Singawalang leaf extract with various solvents resulted in a reduction of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis colony growth, compared with the reaction on control treatment, treatment using DMSO 1%, and treatment using 70% ethanol. As a conclusion, the various solvents used did not make a significant difference. However, control treatment, treatment using DMSO 1%, and treatment using 70% ethanol had significant results.

Abstract

Some preparation techniques, either conventional or advanced, have been provided. Advanced technique may overcome the limitations of conventional techniques. Recently, not all fertility clinics in Indonesia are able to provide advanced preparation techniques. Some techniques require expensive equipments and can only be used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Some fertility clinics use a modified procedure, namely the combination of density gradient centrifugation with a swim-up method for the preparation of the sperm to be used in ART. This study aimed to determine whether the modified density gradient centrifugation, which is density gradient centrifugation followed by a swim-up, is able to yield better results than conventional density gradient centrifugation. This study was a laboratory experimental pre and pos-test control group design. Population was all adult men aged 21-40 years old and the sampling unit was the man donor's semen which fulfilled inclusion criterias, collected during the periode of the study. Sample size was eight. Sperm analysis were done before and after preparation in conventional and modified group. Descriptive comparation analysis have been used. This study obtained NMSR 7.9+5.5 million/ejaculate and recovery rate (RR) 27.66+11.8 %. RR was lower compared to RR obtained conventional DGC method. RR might be lower because in modified DGC samples undergo two steps selection while conventional DGC only one step selection. But conventional DGC samples should be centrifuged twice, therefore sperms might experience more trauma. Lower RR sperm does not exclude the possibility to be used for ART, because still within the required number for all TRBs. In conclusion, modified DGC preparation method obtained lower NMSR and RR, nevertheless harvested sperms can still be used in all kind of ART.

Abstract

EGFR-TKI is the first-line therapy for EGFR-mutant patients. Nevertheless, patients will have disease progression (median PFS 10 – 12 months) due to resistance. The treatment options are still limited in developing countries for such cases, thus double-platinum chemotherapy is the next option. Although IMPRESS study reported no difference in terms of PFS and OS between double-platinum alone and double-platinum plus EGFR-TKI, several local studies reported benefit of continuing EGFR-TKI in combination with double-platinum chemotherapy (treatment beyond progression). This study aimed to compare chemotherapy effects of double-platinum plus EGFR-TKI versus double-platinum alone on patients with NSCLC progression after EGFR-TKI treatment. This was an analytical descriptive study using prospective cohort design, involving 30 patients with disease progression following EGFR-TKI treatment that met inclusion criteria in Dr. Soetomo Hospital. Subjects were divided into two groups: arm A (double-platinum plus EGFR-TKI) and arm B (double-platinum alone). Subjects were observed until 4 cycles of double-platinum chemotherapy. Subjective response (body weight and EQ5D questionnaire) was analyzed, chest CT scans were evaluated using RECIST criteria, and adverse effects were monitored. This study was conducted in accordance with GCP principles and has received ethics certificate from Dr. Soetomo Hospital ethics committee (No. 08/Panke.KKE/I/2017). The results showed that subject characteristics between two arms were insignificantly different (p=0.05). The most common EGFR mutation was exon 21 (50% on arm A and 60% on arm B). Chi square was tested on subjective response parameter (EQ5D (p=0.483)). T2 free sample was tested on semi-subjective parameter (body weight (p=1.00)). Comparison test on both groups after cycle 2 and 4 showed p value=0.05. Statistical test on adverse effect between both groups showed p value=0.526. As a conclusion, there was no significant difference between double-platinum and double-platinum plus EGFR-TKI on patients who had disease progression following EGFR-TKI treatment.
