Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in women. Even with similar clinicopathologic features, radiotherapy outcomes are still vary among patients. This research was conducted to measure radiotherapy responses on cervical cancer patients by using Survivin, Telomerase and Cytochrome C.METHODS: Subjects who matched the criteria were selected and requested to fill questionnaires. Subjects were then evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pre- and post-3D conformal radiotherapy. Histopathological study was conducted using resected tumors to determine the differentiation type. Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assays for detection of Survivin, Telomerase and Cytochrome C was performed using the resected tumors as well.RESULTS: There were 76 patients in this study. Mean ofage was 50 and diameter of tumor size was 5.35 cm. Mean levels of Survivin, Telomerase and Cytochrome C were 632.82 pg/mL, 5.59 pg/mL and 204.75 ng/mL, respectively. There were significant correlations between radiotherapy response and Survivin (p=0.041) or Telomerase (p=0.022). Subjects with lower Survivin level (<932 pg/mL) had higher 1-year survival rate (63%) than subjects with higher Survivin level (50%). Similar results were obtained for subjects with lower Telomerase level (<5.75 pg/mL), who had higher 1-year survival rate (60%) than subjects with higher Telomerase level (43%).CONCLUSION: Since radiotherapy response is significantly correlated with Survivin and Telomerase levels and subjects with lower Survivin or Telomerase level have higher 1-year survival rate, it can be suggested that Survivin and Telomerase could be potential predictors of radiotherapeutic response for subjects with stage IIIB cervical squamous cell carcinoma.KEYWORDS: cervical cancer, radiotherapy Survivin, Telomerase, Cytochrome C

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Chronic hyperglycemia causes an increase of free radical production and in longterm, the hyperglycemia increases oxidative stress. Among medicinal plants, Momordica charantia L. fruit has been known to overcome hyperglycemia. However, role of M. charantia L. fruit on oxidative stress is not well understood. Therefore, current study was conducted to investigate the effect of M. charantia L. fruit extract on malondialdehyde (MDA) level and hepatic damage in hyperglicemic rat model.METHODS: Twenty five white rats (Rattus novergicus) were induced with Streptozotocin (STZ) and treated with/without glibenclamide, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC), or M. charantia L. fruit ethanol/ethyl acetate/ n-hexane fraction. After the treatment, rat’s livers were collected and separated for histopathological examination and MDA analysis.RESULTS: The MDA level average of rats before the STZ induction was 1.37 μg/mL. MDA level average was markedly increased (23.85 μg/mL) in rats induced with STZ and treated with Na-CMC merely. The MDA level average of STZ-induced glibenclamide-treated rats was 3.12 μg/mL. Meanwhile, the MDA level averages of STZ-induced M. charantia L. fruit ethanol, ethyl acetate and n-hexane fractions-treated rats were 14.95, 8.98 and 5.37 μg/mL, respectively. The histopathology results of this study showed that adipocytes, dilated sinusoids and central vein thickening were mostly observed in STZ-induced Na-CMC-treated rats. Meanwhile, the STZ-induced ethanol/ethyl acetate/n-hexane fraction-treated rats did not exhibitthose expressions.CONCLUSION: M. charantia L. fruit fractions inhibit the MDA level average in liver tissue and regenerate hepatic damage of STZ-induced rats, especially the n-hexane fraction which could be a potential hepatic antioxidant and regenerative agent.KEYWORDS: Momordica charantia L., malondialdehyde, oxidative stress, hyperglycemia, diabetes mellitus

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Consumption of foods and drinks high in energy, fat, and/or sugar beyond the recommended quantities can cause obesity, which triggers the incidence of brain nerve cell death related to oxidative stress, high levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and triglycerides, and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. Progressive nerve cell death causes decreasing cognitive performance. This study aims to prove that an American Institute of Nutrition committee in 1993 (AIN-93M) diet modified with high-fat-high-fructose (HFHF) can decrease the number of hippocampal neurons. A decrease in the number of hippocampal neurons indicates progressive nerve cell death.METHODS: An experimental study using a post-test control group design was carried out using male Sprague Dawley rats. Samples were selected using simple random sampling to divide them into two groups, Group I was AIN-93M-modified HFHF diet (n=14) and Group II was AIN-93M standard (n=16). The number of visible neurons was measured in the hippocampus area of Sprague Dawley rats’ brains, stained with haemotoxylin and eosin (H&E) and scanned under 400x magnification. Neurons were counted in 10 visual fields using the "Cell_Count" application.RESULTS: The data were analysed by Pearson’s correlation test using SPSS. The results show that rats in Group I had a greater weight gain and fewer neurons than those in the Group II (p=0.023, r=-0.413).CONCLUSION: The consumption of foods high in fat and fructose can cause an increase in nerve cell death, as shown by the decrease in the number of hippocampal neurons.KEYWORDS: brain nerve cells, high fat, high fructose, increased body weight
