Abstract

Angiotensin Receptor Blocker, ARB, is a drug that acts on the AT1 receptor so as to inhibit Ang II stimulation. Ang II stimulates the main activity of the angiotensin renin system. Recent research has shown the presence of components of the RAS system in the brain, and the neuroprotective effects of the brain. ARB drugs can enter the brain and protect the blood brain flow, maintain the function of the blood brain barrier and reduce cerebral hemorrhage. The neuroprotective effect of ARB not only arises from improved cerebrovascular blood flow (improved access to oxygen and nutrients) but also decreased factors that can cause brain injury, including decreased excitotoxicity of glutamate which causes inflammatory response and apoptosis, decreased inflammatory response of interleukin-1β and bacterial endotoxin. In addition, there are additional effects through the PPARγ activation mechanism. Based on these benefits ARBs can be developed for the purpose of treating various brain disorders, in this case improving cognitive function, such as vascular dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, traumatic brain injury, stroke, and others.

Abstract

Introduction. Metabolic syndrome is the constellation of metabolic abnormalities that are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes melitus. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in younger people is increasing along with the increased prevalence of obesity. Waist circumference and blood pressure measurement are simple examinations for early detection of metabolic syndrome. Excessive consumption of carbohydrates is one of the factors that cause health problems. But the data of these measurements and food records of medical students in Universitas Sriwijaya were not documented yet. Methods. This study was an observational analytic cross-sectional study with proportionate stratified random sampling. This study used primary data from forms, questionnaires, food records, and physical examinations collected from 275 medical students. The data were analyzed with an independent t-Test for normally distributed data or with Mann Whitney for not normally distributed data. Results. There was a significant relationship between carbohydrate intake and waist circumference (p-value = 0,048) but no relationship between carbohydrate intake and blood pressure (p-value for systolic blood pressure = 0,720 and diastolic blood pressure = 0,847). Conclusion. These findings show an association between carbohydrate intake and waist circumference, but no association between carbohydrate intake and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic blood pressure).

Abstract

Epithelial malignant tumors account for around 90% of all ovarian malignancies and are the most deadly gynecological malignancies and mucinous borderline ovarian tumors are the most common cases in Asia. According to World Health Organization (WHO) 2020, mucinous ovarian tumors are divided into mucinous cystadenoma, borderline mucinous tumor and mucinous carcinoma. Histopathological features of benign, borderline and invasive mucinous carcinoma can be found together in one tumor. The coexixtence of these varied morphological features makes it difficult to establish a diagnosis due to the limited section evaluated and the large size of tumor. It can contribute to inaccurate diagnosis due to heterogeneity of the morphological features. Metastatic mucinous tumors which often resemble primary mucinous tumors in the ovaries.

Abstract

Cholesterol is a necessary component of numerous physiologic processes that must be strictly regulated. Multiple genetic disorders, such as Familial Hypercholesterolemia, frequently induce dysfunctional cholesterol metabolism. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a frequent hereditary autosomal co-dominant marked by disarray by increased plasma amounts of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and premature cardiovascular disease. Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is increasing but often remains underdiagnosed. This review aims to outline existing information on Familial Hypercholesterolemia with a focus on genetics, diagnostic strategies, treatments, and guidelines for management.

Abstract

The role of probiotics on sepsis, particularly when induced by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, is mediated through complex biochemical pathways. Probiotics demonstrate a capacity to effectively combat infections and reduce mortality rates in sepsis cases. A significant contributor to this efficacy is attributed to the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced by these probiotics. SCFAs play a critical role in modulating the immune system, primarily by influencing the production of inflammatory cytokines, fortifying the integrity of intestinal epithelium, preventing cellular apoptosis, and maintaining the balance of gut microbiota. Moreover, probiotics are instrumental in counteracting the detrimental impacts of excessive antibiotic use, which is a major contributing factor to the emergence of MDR bacterial strains. The integration of probiotics with conventional therapeutic approaches offers a viable and potentially effective strategy in the management of sepsis caused by MDR bacteria, suggesting a promising direction for future clinical interventions.
