Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB), an infectious disease caused by a Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is still a health problem in Indonesia, and the world. One of the failures to control the TB epidemic is due to the lack of effective vaccines available today. Protective immune responses to M.tuberculosis are dominated by cellular immunity and less by humoral immunity. IFN-γ, and IL-10 play a role in the protection of against M.tuberculosis, and the pathogenesis of TB. Fusion antigen ESAT-6-CFP-10 has a strong antigenicity to T cells and stimulates specific cellular immune responses, thereby providing benefit in immune responses that are protective against M.tuberculosis infection. The aimed of this study was to know the difference betwen IFN-γ, and IL-10 levels on PBMC culture of active TB, latent TB, and healthy people after ESAT-6-CFP-10 fusion antigen stimulation. This study used an in vitro of quasi experimental design in PBMC cultures of active TB, latent TB, and healthy people groups stimulated by ESAT-6-CFP-10 antigen fusion Mycobacterium tuberculosis. IFN-γ, and IL-10 levels were measured by ELISA method. The results were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. The mean levels of IFN-γ post-stimulation of ESAT-6-CFP-10 fusion antigens did not differ (p=0.359) in the active pulmonary TB group (0.07 - 2114), latent TB (6.84 - 1381) and healthy people 1.88 - 1807.70), as well as the mean levels of IL-10 (p=0.712) in the active pulmonary TB (16.70 - 328.80), latent TB (29.70 - 323.60 ) and healthy people (31.30 - 958). There were no significant differences in levels of IFN-γ and IL-10 in active TB, latent TB, and healthy people after stimulation by fusion antigen ESAT-6-CFP-10.

Abstract

Storage of Platelet Concentrate (PC) can cause changes in thrombocyte quality that affect thrombocyteviability and decrease hemostatic function. All biochemical, structural and functional changes to plateletsduring storage in the Blood Bank are known as platelet storage lesions. To analyze the effect of storagelength on changes in thrombocyte morphology and function as well as the metabolic parameters of plateletconcentrate bag components. This was an analytical study with time series design. Sampling was doneconsecutively. Samples were new PC bags which were processed and stored at room temperature withagitation during June-July 2019 in the Blood Bank of the Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya.Examination of platelet count and MPV were performed to determine morphological changes and metabolicparameters like pH, pCO2, and pO2 on day 1, day 3, and day 5th. Data were analyzed by using Shapiro-Wilktest, Paired t test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. There were significant changes in MPV, pH, and pCO2values during storage (p <0.05). However, there were no significant changes in platelet count and pO2value. Metabolic changes in PC bag were obtained but there was no decrease in platelet count so that the PCcomponent was still feasible to be given to the patient. Further research is needed for other parameters thatcan be affected by the storage process.

Abstract

Abstract Protective immunity of tuberculosis (TB) infection is highly dependent on the balance of Th1 and Th2 cytokines. TNF-α cytokines produced by Th1 cell retain a latent status, and IL-4 produced by Th2 aids in the production of antibodies. The recent development of the vaccine candidates shows that rESAT-6- CFP-10 fusion antigen is specific to induce protective immune responses. The objective of the study was to determine the immune response. This study used a quasi experimental design in the laboratory in vitro with cultured PBMC of patients with new cases of pulmonary TB, latent TB and healthy individuals. Examination of TNF-α and IL-4 levels was done by ELISA. The highest TNF-α mean levels were 866,05 in the latent TB group, compared to 814,56 in active TB and 414,58 in healthy individuals, but they were not significantly different. The highest IL-4 mean levels were 1,39 in the active TB group, compared to 0,88 in latent TB and 0,74 in healthy individuals, but they were not significantly different. High levels of TNF-α and low levels of Il-4 in latent TB post-stimulation of rESAT-6-CFP-10 fusion antigen show that the candidate vaccine is capable of providing protective reponse against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Key words : TNF-α, IL-4, PBMC, ELISA, rESAT-6-CFP-10 Abstrak Imunitas protektif terhadap infeksi tuberculosis sangat bergantung terhadap keseimbangan sitokin T-helper (Th)-1 dan Th2. Sitokin TNF-α yang disekresi oleh sel Th1 mampu mempertahankan status laten, dan IL-4 yang disekresi oleh Th2 membantu produksi antibodi. Pengembangan kandidat vaksin terbaru yaitu antigen fusi rESAT-6-CFP-10 bersifat spesifik terhadap respons imun protektif. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui respons imun seluler melalui kadar TNF-α dan IL-4 pasca stimulasi antigen fusi rESAT-6-CFP-10. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain eksperimen semu di laboratorium secara in vitro pada kultur PBMC. Pemeriksaan kadar sitokin TNF-α dan IL-4 dengan metode ELISA. Rerata kadar TNF-α pasca stimulasi paling tinggi ditemukan pada kelompok TB laten 866,05, dibandingkan TB aktif 814,56 dan orang sehat 414,58, tetapi tidak berbeda bermakna. Reratakadar IL-4 pasca stimulasi paling tinggi ditemukan pada kelompok TB aktif, dibandingkan TB laten dan orang sehat, tetapi tidak berbeda bermakna.

Abstract

Infectious diseases remain a serious problem in Indonesia. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a substance released by neutrophils, which activates the synthesis of hypochlorous acid (HOCL) from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and chloride ion (Cl-). Hypochlorous acid plays a vital role in the body's defense against infection. Myeloperoxidase Index (MPXI) is a parameter in the hematology analyzer Advia 2120i based on the principle of flow cytometry. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic value of MPXI in patients with bacterial infections. The study was a cross-sectional observational analysis. The samples consisted of a group of patients with bacterial infection and a group of healthy subjects. The specimens used in this study were whole blood + anticoagulant (EDTA) in a purple tube with a volume of 3 mL to determine the MPXI value in both groups using ADVIA 2120i hematology analyzer. The study subjects consisted of a group of patients with bacterial infections (69 patients) and a group of healthy subjects (33 people). Analysis of the MPXI ROC curve with a cut-off ≥ -5.8 and < -5.8, showed AUC of 0.323 (CI=95%, p=0.004), sensitivity of 34.8%, specificity of 39.4%, Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of 54.5%, and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) of 22.4%. Due to its low diagnostic value, the MPXI value was not recommended to be used as a diagnostic instrument for bacterial infections. Also, further research was highly needed.

Abstract

Background. Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction condition caused by dysregulation of host response towards infection. Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death in medical emergency. A recent study revealed 18 millions of sepsis occur annually with a mortality rate of 30%, so early diagnosis in assessing sepsis severity is necessary as a guide for early and specific therapy. Organ dysfunction in sepsis patients is associated with high mortality, assessed by Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) criteria. Procalcitonin is widely used for diagnosing, monitoring, and prognosis sepsis.Aim This study aimed to analyze the correlation of procalcitonin level with sepsis severity based on SOFA score.  Method. This was an observational cross-sectional study. Samples were collected from December 2017-February 2018 of 72 patients. Each patient was calculated by SOFA score and underwent procalcitonin examination using an immunochromatography method by RAMP. Results. Samples from 72 patients who met the criteria, were analyzed consisting of 37 mailes(51.4%) and 35 females(48.6%), aged 23-77 years, with mean±SD 47.4±14.02 years. The range of SOFA score was 0-16 with mean±SD 6.47±3.61, while procalcitonin levels 0.20-200 ng/mL mean±SD 21.03±14.63 ng/mL. There was a significant correlation between procalcitonin level and SOFA score (r=0.752;p<0.0001).Discussion. This suggests that procalcitonin may illustrate the severity of sepsis patients. The higher the procalcitonin, the more severe the sepsis.Conclusions and recommendations. SOFA score and procalcitonin examinations should be performed routinely in patients with sepsis to assess prognosis (severity) for earlier pretreatment so that the mortality rate can be lowered.

Abstract

A compatibility test as part of a pre-transfusion test is mandatory to ensure blood compatibility between patients anddonors. Diamed-ID as the first gel-based product is commonly used as a reference for the compatibility test. The presence ofnew products such as DG Gel Coombs encourages research to compare them with reference methods. This study aimed toanalyze the suitability of DG Gel Coombs to Diamed-ID in the compatibility test with the same sample. This cross-sectionalanalytic observational study was conducted during November 2017-February 2018 at the Blood Transfusion Unit Dr.Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya using blood samples (n=40), which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Simultaneoustesting of the two products was according to the manufacturing requirements of each product (using different LISS reagentsfor red blood cell suspensions and centrifugation arrangements). The suitability of results was tested with Cohen's kappaand significant differences with McNemar. There was a minimum suitability of DG Gel Coombs to Diamed-ID for majorcompatibility tests, κ 0.307 (95% CI: -0.029-0.643), significance 0.007 (p < 0.05) and moderate for minor, κ 0,678 (95% CI:0.454-0.903), significance <0.0001 (p < 0.05). McNemar's significance was 0.016 (p < 0.05) for major compatibility test and0.031 (p < 0.05) for minor. Referring to Diamed-ID's results, false negatives were found on DG Gel Coombs for majorcompatibility tests (n=7) and minor (n=6). The suitability of results from DG Gel Coombs and Diamed-ID is not strong forcompatibility testing.
