Abstract

Tinnitus risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are still under debate. Our study objective was to find tinnitus prevalence and principal risk factors in community-dwelling T2DM subjects. It was an analytical observational cross-sectional design study conducted from August to October 2023 at a public health center in West Jakarta. The consecutive non-random sampling method included 140 ambulatory T2DM study subjects. Tinnitus Screener and Tinnitus Handicap Inventory assessed tinnitus presence and severity. Age, sex, T2DM duration, fasting and 2-hour post-prandial blood glucose concentrations, lipid profile, blood pressure, and severity of hypertension were extracted from medical records. Data analysis was by chi-squared or Fisher exact tests, followed by multiple logistic regression analysis, with statistical significance set at p<0.05. The subjects' mean age was 54.71±5.33 years, and T2DM duration was 8.75±2.55 years. Tinnitus prevalence was 92 (65.17%), with 44 subjects (47.8%) having moderate tinnitus. Multivariable logistic regression findings: age (p=0.576), T2DM duration (p=0.116), total cholesterol (p=0.053), HDL-cholesterol (p=0.425), hypertension (p=0.046). Hypertension increased the risk of tinnitus by 2.289 times in T2DM subjects after adjusting for age, T2DM duration, and total and HDL cholesterol. Hypertension is the main tinnitus risk factor. The high tinnitus prevalence in our T2DM subjects requires regular screening for auditory function and control of blood pressure to minimize tinnitus risk in T2DM subjects.

Abstract

Posture while working will influence work results and have a health impact on workers. Rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) is a method for analyzing work posture on the job using the upper part of the body. This research examines the risk level of work postures in the leather shoe industry. This research was conducted in the leather shoe industry located in Semarang. This research uses the RULA method to assess the risk level of work postures. Body area measured by RULA was divided into two groups, namely group A (arms, forearms, hands) and group B (neck, body). The RULA score is obtained based on observing the worker's body posture, including neck, arms, back, legs, and load. The observed scores are then converted into final RULA scores. It was found that the body posture of workers in the leather industry was at a score of 6 and 7. This score has implications for the need for further research regarding the body posture of the following workers. Work posture correction must be done immediately to prevent further health impacts.

Abstract

Promoting pro-environmental behavior is a significant concern nowadays. Researchers have identified social value orientation as one of the key factors influencing pro-environmental behavior. This study aims to investigate the influence of social value orientation on pro-environmental behavior and to highlight differences based on gender. The research method used is non-experimental quantitative causality. This research was carried out in 2024 at B University in Bandung. The study participants were 378 students from B University in Bandung, selected using convenience sampling. The measurement tools used were the Triple Dominance Scale by Van Lange (1998) to assess social value orientation (SVO) tendencies and the GEB Scale by Kaiser (2020) to measure general ecological behavior, i.e., the tendency to engage in pro-environmental or non-pro-environmental behavior. Data analysis was done using JASP version 19. The results showed a significant influence of social value orientation on pro-environmental behavior with Fisher's exact test p=0.017 (p<0.05). An odds ratio of 0.084 was obtained, indicating that participants categorized as pro-social are 11.9 times more likely to engage in pro-environmental behavior than those classified as pro-self. Regarding gender differences, the chi-square test revealed no significant differences between males and females in terms of social value orientation tendencies with χ2=0.056 (p>0.05), as well as in terms of engaging in pro-environmental behavior, with χ2=0.774 (p>0.05). The conclusions of this study are that social value orientation affects pro-environmental behavior, and there was no significant difference between gender in social value orientation tendencies and pro-environmental behavior.

Abstract

The intestinal organoid represents a miniature organ that can mimic functional physiology and pathology. However, there are several challenges to developing the organoid system, such as the limited survival of cells. Based on theory, matrix addition is a factor that can support survival in cells. As a result, graphene oxide (GO) addition is used in this study. As an artificial matrix, GO has been successfully shown to encourage good cell behavior and is well known for having good biocompatibility. Herein, we fabricate GO characterized with FT-IR and PSA. Crypt-like structures (CLS) are isolated from small intestinal mice in GO addition as a matrix. The gene expression and cell viability of CLS are investigated. RT-PCR examined the gene expression in CLS, while cell viability of CLS was carried out using the staining method. This study was conducted at FiNder U-CoE and Parasitology Laboratory of HSE Universitas Padjadjaran Bandung during February and December 2023. Our results show that Vil-1 as an identity for cells in the intestinal epithelium has been expressed in CLS primary significantly higher than intestinal tissue (p=0.01). However, identifying Lgr5 in CSL isolates is tricky. Thes in the crypt may be limited. Besides that, cell viability of CLS with GO addition can be maintained for four days. The GO addition as a matrix may provide support to maintain CLS. These findings are promising as cell-based assays for developing organoid models.

Abstract

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) functions to transport cholesterol from the blood vessel endothelium to the liver and excreted through the digestive tract so that it does not cause dyslipidemia, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Current treatment for dyslipidemia uses long-term statin drugs, which can cause various side effects, so herbal alternatives such as ketapang leaves (Terminalia catappa L.), which contain flavonoids and have the effect of increasing HDL levels, needed to be evaluated to achieve that reason. This study aims to evaluate whether ketapang leaf extract has an effect on increasing blood HDL levels. This research used experimental animals with a pretest and a posttest with a control group design. It was conducted at the Biochemistry Laboratory and Laboratory Animal Management Unit, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara, Medan, from September to December 2023. This study used Wistar strain male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) that were induced on a high-fat diet, divided into five groups: negative control, positive control (given simvastatin), treatment 1 (given 21 mg/kgBW ketapang leaf extract), treatment 2 (given 42 mg/kgBW ketapang leaf extract) and treatment 3 (given 84 mg/kgBW ketapang leaf extract). The study results showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in the average HDL levels before and after treatment in the positive control, treatment 2, and therapy three groups. Thus, the study concluded that ketapang leaf extract affected increasing HDL levels of male white rats (Rattus norvegicus).

Abstract

Problematic online gamers are shown to be biased towards information about gaming, focusing on it more than other subjects. Measuring cognitive processes requires tasks with specific stimuli, essential for studying decision-making. This research aims to create a gambling-related stimulus for a mental task. The research used a combination of methods. Qualitative data were gathered through interviews and focus group discussions, while quantitative data were collected through questionnaires. A total of 88 research participants were obtained by purposive sampling with inclusion criteria: aged 18–30, played games 4–10 hours daily for at least 12 months. Forty gamers participated in semi-structured interviews using an interview guide based on the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution (I-PACE) theoretical framework. Forty-eight gamers also took part in focus group discussions (FGDs). This research was conducted in Bandung from November 2023 to October 2024. The data were analyzed using NVivo-14 software and descriptive statistics. As a result, various stimuli were obtained, including 597-word stimuli, 87 image stimuli, and 97 audio stimuli. It was hypothesized that these stimuli would evoke a strong association with online games, prompting gamers to devote greater attention when encountering them, whether in visual, textual, or audio formats.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disorder of the kidney defined by a glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 for a minimum of three months, progressive and irreversible. One complication is chronic kidney disease-metabolic bone disorders (CKD-MBD), which can cause osteoporosis. This is diagnosed using bone mineral densitometry-dual energy absorptiometry (BMD-DXA) and panoramic radiographs, which can also detect thinning of the mandibular cortex in patients with CKD. This study aims to determine the correlation between osteoporosis images on panoramic photos with the results of lumbar and hip areal T-scores in chronic kidney disease (CKD). This research is an observational study with a prospective approach and cross-sectional design. The subjects of this study were 52 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Undergoing hemodyalize procedure (HD) at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital for February–March 2024. Data was collected by taking the results of the panoramic photo examination and BMD-DXA to see the results of the T-score in each patient—data analysis using the Spearman test on SPSS software. Which resulted in the p-values for the panoramic mandibular index (PMI), mandibular cortical width (MCW), and mandibular cortical index (MCI) with a lumbar T-score range of 0.093 to 0.676 and the PMI, MCW, and MCI with left-right hip T-score, the p-values ranged from 0.318 to 0.970 (all p-values >0.05). It can be concluded that there is no correlation between the results of the T-score for the lumbar and hip regions and the measurements of PMI, MCW, and MCI. Therefore, employing these three measurements as a standard for osteoporosis screening using panoramic x-rays is not feasible.

Abstract

Mediastinal mass is becoming a global health problem due to high mortality. The heterogeneous mediastinal components make the symptoms of mediastinal mass diverse. CT scans are still the imaging modality for examining mediastinal mass before surgery or other therapies. In this study, we evaluate whether a CT scan could predict the malignancy of mediastinal mass, which is expected to help establish a pre-surgical or pre-biopsy diagnosis. Sixty-two samples were taken consecutively from mediastinal mass patients who came to Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital to undergo a CT scan of the thorax with contrast and histopathology examination (core biopsy or open biopsy), which was carried out in the period from December 2019 to March 2024. The results of the CT scan imaging used in this study variable include mass location, mass shape, mass size, infiltration with surrounding organs, attenuation values before contrast administration, after contrast administration, and additional attenuation before and after contrast administration. The CT scan and histopathology results were compared, and multivariate analysis was performed to obtain predictor factors. The location of the mediastinal mass (anterior, medius, posterior), the solid heterogeny component, cystic, calcification, mass shape, organ infiltration, and contrast enhancement value could significantly predict the mediastinal mass's malignancy. If obtained simultaneously, the organ infiltration and contrast enhancement value >20 HU can indicate whether a mediastinal mass is malignant with a specificity of up to 100%.

Abstract

Anthropometry, the study of human body measurements, is crucial in estimating stature, which is valuable in medical research, forensic science, anthropology, and ergonomic design. While various methods exist for estimating stature, lumbar spine measurements make a significant contribution to this estimation. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between lumbar spine dimensions and stature in the Indonesian population using three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) scan data. This analytical observational study, employing a cross-sectional approach, was conducted at the Department of Radiology, Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, from August to September 2023. The key measurements included heights of the posterior, anterior, and central vertebral bodies from lumbar 1 to lumbar 5 (L1 to L5), transverse pedicle diameter, pedicle axis length, vertical pedicle diameter, and overall stature. The study included 66 subjects (30 males and 36 females). Males had an average height of 165.86 cm, while females had an average height of 155.85 cm. Significant gender differences were observed in heights of the posterior vertebral body (HPVB), heights of the central vertebral body (HCVB), and pedicle axis length (PAL) measurements. HPVB of L1 can be used as a predictor of height in females (p<0.001), whereas PAL of L5 can be used as a predictor of height in males (p=0.006). Lumbar spine dimensions measured using 3D CT scans provide reliable stature predictions, with specific measurements such as HPVB from L1 in females and PAL from L5 in males showing high accuracy. These findings support the development of population-specific anthropometric tools and enhance understanding of factors influencing stature in Indonesia.

Abstract

In 2021, Cimahi City recorded the 5th highest dengue fever (DF) cases among 27 districts/cities in West Java. Efforts to control DF have been going on for several decades, with one strategy being to involve community participation in eliminating mosquito breeding sites. This research evaluated community participation in Cimahi city by identifying mosquito breeding locations inside and outside the home. Samples were taken from 15 sub-districts in Cimahi city. The research population involved houses in 15 sub-districts, with a total sample of 1,560 houses representing each sub-district. Larval sampling was carried out in various water reservoirs, both natural and artificial, around residential areas. The successfully taken larvae were then identified and counted in the laboratory. The research showed that the most dominant mosquito breeding place was in bucket-type containers, namely 130 units (3.2%). Entomological data produced a free larva index (FLI) of 79.23%, a house index (HI) of 20.7%, a container index (CI) of 8.07%, and a Breteau index (BI) of 20.5%. This finding indicated a lack of community involvement in preventing vector-borne diseases by eliminating breeding sites. Cimahi city still had the potential to spread vector-borne diseases.
