Abstract

Introduction. Cancer is one of the leading causes of human death in the world. One of the therapies given to cancer patients is chemotherapy which has cytotoxic effects. One of the plants that have the same effect is the berenuk or calabash (Crescentia cujete L.) plant, from the family of Bignoniaceae, which grows wild and is often referred to as a poisonous plant. However, some people traditionally use this plant as a medicinal plant such as for antifungal, anthelmintic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory. This plant contains naphthoquinones as one of the cytotoxic chemical compounds and another metabolite secondary such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, and anthraquinones. Methods. The BSLT (Brine Shrimp Lethality Test) method was used for this study. The powder of berenuk fruit flesh was extracted using ethanol. The obtained solvent was evaporated using a rotary evaporator to obtain a thick extract. The extract was tested on A. salina larva that has been prepared and the value of mortality was observed. Results. The result of the cytotoxic activity test of ethanolic extract of berenuk fruit on A. salina larva had the LC50 value of 529.386 ppm which is categorized as toxic. Conclusion. Extract ethanolic of berenuk fruit on A. salina had cytotoxic activity.

Abstract

Introduction. Voice disorder or dysphonia is a condition that includes all changes in a person’s voice including tone, intensity, phonation, and others caused by laryngeal disorders. Each sound production disorder can be evaluated through the VHI-30 questionnaire. Therefore, data are needed regarding the relationship of the extent of the lesion location site to the degree of VHI-30 produced in dysphonic patients with benign vocal cord lesions. Methods. Observational research using cross sectional design. Data collection using medical record data on 30 dysphonic patients with benign vocal cord lesions who underwent surgery in the ENT department in RSMH in January 2019 to June 2022. Results. Out of the 30 patients with benign vocal cord lesions, age of 31-45 and 46-60 age groups were most found 11(36,7%) Female gender was found 16(53,3%) and the non-professional voice user category was found the highest 28 (93,3%). The 1–6-month onset group was the highest 12(40,0%). The most common location of benign vocal cord lesions was in 1/3 anterior 8(26,7%), and the most common type of benign lesion was vocal cord nodules 13(43,3%). Severe degree VHI-30 were most found 18(60,0%). The area of bilateral locations along the vocal cords had a significant relationship, with p-value of 0,040 (p<0,05), to the degree of VHI-30 when compared to the unilateral location of the anterior 2/3 of the vocal cords.

Abstract

Disorders of the esophagus could include various conditions such as inflammation, stricture or esophageal-phase dysphagia. Management of these disorders is rapidly developing, which includes conservative, surgical and modern techniques such as the use of stem cells. Stem cells are characterized as cells which have not differentiated, able to multiply and differentiate into multiple organ cells, and has the ability of self-renewal which is vital in disease management. Mesenchymal stem cells or MSCs are mature stem cells with multidirectional differentiation and also has the ability of self -renewal. It includes adipose MSCs (AMSCs), bone marrow MSCs (BMSCs), umbilical cord MSCs (UC-MSCs) and gingival MSCs. Based on the characteristics of stem cells as well as the anatomy and physiology of the esophagus, stem cells may have a role in the management of esophageal disorders.

Abstract

Introduction. Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) usually occurs due to the effects of reflux on the gloves and vocal cords. Symptoms range from more common symptoms such as hoarseness,  globus sensations, and a feeling of getting stuck in the throat to less common symptoms such as heartburn and regurgitation. Symptoms common to LPR are not specific and may be related to other diseases. In other words, it is difficult to diagnose LPR based solely on symptoms. Belafsky et al in 2001 and 2002 developed the Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and Reflux Finding Score (RFS) to assist in the diagnosis of LPR. Health-related quality of life Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) in LPR patients have a negative impact on psychological status, social functioning, and quality of life. Symptoms of reflux appear to be a major contributor to the decline in quality of life. LPR patients have a significant impact on the mental component of their HRQO. Methods. Descriptive research with a correlation test design, conducted at RSUP Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang on 22 samples of LPR patients who were treated at ENTKL polyclinics, IGD, or consulted from other departments in July-August 2022. Results. The majority of the study were women (81.85%) with dominant in the age group of 31-45 years (45.5%) with an average age of 42.23±11.88 years and a range of 19-66 years. There is a strong correlation between RSI and RFS with quality of life (r = 0.615; p = 0.016, r = 0.635; p = 0.028, respectively). Conclusion. RSI and RFS are significantly related to the quality of life of the sample so the treatment is recommended to also focus on the LPR only but also the mental health aspects.

Abstract

Introduction. Tinnitus is a symptom in the form of a conscious perception of sound that is not produced by a sound source outside the body. Patients with tinnitus often have complaints of quality of life, with some situations of extreme anxiety, depression, and life changes. The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) is a valid questionnaire to be associated with patients associated with tinnitus. The Tinnitus Research Initiative (TRI), an international academic organization founded in 2006, recommends the use of THI for the evaluation of tinnitus defects and therapeutic effects. Therefore, a THI assessment is needed at RSUP Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang as a result of therapy. Methods. This research using a design that aims to determine the comparison of THI scores before and after intratympanic injection of corticosteroids in 18 samples at RSUP Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang. Results. The average age of the sample was 57 (23-66) years and the number of men and women were the same, namely 9 (50%) samples. Most of the samples had problems in unilateral ears by 14 (77,8%) samples. The average THI before intratympanic steroid injection was 37 (12-72) and after injection was 20 (4-80). Wilcoxon test results showed significant changes between before and after intratympanic steroid injection. Conclusion. There was a significant improvement in THI scores after intratympanic steroid injection.
