Abstract

Survival rate of patients with nasopharyngeal cancer on various modalitie: Case study of patients on conventional therapy and Indonesian complementary and alternative medicineBackground: There are no data on survival rate of patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) on complementary alternative medicine in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to analyze the survival rate of patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) on conventional (modern) and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments.Methods: A cross-sectional observational study of 33 NPC patients from each conventional (modern) treatment and CAM group was performed. The guided intervews were conducted to describe CAM treatment in NPC patients by using a validated questionnaire based CAM therapies of California Health Interview Survey 2001. Survival analysis was conducted by the Kaplan-Meir method.Results: Most patients (52.3%) used CAM treatments.Multivitamin and herbal medicines were among the commonly used CAM (52.8%). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed no significant results (p=0.444) between groups. The first and second year of survival rate was comparable between groups (66.6% vs. 54.5%; 45.5% vs 33.3%). Furthermore, the median overall survival (OS) was shown (16; 95% CI: 1.58-8.90) in CAM treatment patients and conventional (modern) treatment (12; 95% CI: 8.477-0.00). The prevalenceratio (PR) obtained in this study was 1.2 (95% CI: 0.79-1.69).Conclusion: CAM treatment on NPC patients had no effect on survival rate compared with conventional (modern) treatment.Keywords: NPC, CAM, survival rateABSTRAKLatar belakang: Saat ini, belum ada data tingkat ketahanan hidup penderita kanker nasofaring (KNF) yang menjalani pengobatan komplementer alternatif di Indonesia. Fakta menunjukkan bahwa pengobatan komplementer alternatif di Indonesia merupakan bagian aktivitas sosial budaya. Penelitian ini menganalisis tingkat ketahanan hidup penderita KNF yang memperoleh pengobatan modern konvensional disertai pengobatan komplementer dan alternatif (PKA).Metode: Penelitian cross sectional dilakukan pada 33 penderita KNF di tiap kelompok yang menjalani PKA dan kelompok yang menggunakan pengobatan modern konvensional di wilayah Semarang dan sekitarnya. Wawancara terpimpin untuk terapi PKA dengan menggunakan California Health Interview Survey 2001 yang telah divalidasi. Tingkat ketahanan hidup dianalisis dengan uji Kaplan Meier.Hasil: Sebanyak (52,3%) penderita menjalani PKA, dimana yang tersering adalah dengan multivitamin dan jamu (52,8%). Tingkat ketahanan hidup kelompok PKA di tahun pertama (66,6%) dan tahun ke-2 (45,4%). Tingkat ketahanan hidup tahun pertama dan kedua kelompok obat konvensional 54,5% dan 33,3%. Analisis Kaplan Meier menunjukkan hasil yang tidak bermakna (p=0,444). Analisis median tingkat ketahanan hidup, penderita kelompok PKA didapatkan nilai 16 (CI 95%:1,581-8,900), dan pada kelompok pengobatan modern konvensional didapatkan nilai 12 (CI 95%: 8,477-0,00). Nilai PR didapatkan 1,158 (CI 95%: 0,792-1,692).Simpulan: Penggunaan PKA dan terapi modern konvensional tidak mempengaruhi tingkat ketahanan hidup penderita KNF.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus can cause complications including liver damage, which has an impact on increasing levels of SGOT and SGPT in the blood, as well as inflamation and hepatic steatosis. Turmeric (Curcuma domestica) and java turmeric (Curcuma xanthorizza) are known to have high levels of curcumin and xanthorizzol as an antioxidant and proven to improve liver function. Antioxidant therapy in patients with NAFLD is known to improve liver function and histopathological features. The effects of turmeric and java turmeric extract on liver function in streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus mice are still unknown. Objective: Comparing effects of administered turmeric and java turmeric extract on liver function and histopathologic features of  streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus mice. Method: Research design Post Test Only Control Group Design are used. Male swiss mice around 25-30 gram are used. Streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus mice with a total samples (n = 20) divided into 4 groups, Control+PBS, Control+STZ, STZ+Turmeric, and STZ+Java Turmeric (an = 5). Blood glucose, weight, SGOT, SGPT levels and histopathologic features including percentage of inflamation and hepatic steatosis were examined at day 21. All the research data were analyzed using statistics program. Result: Turmeric and java turmeric extract cannot significantly reduce blood glucose level. Administration of java turmeric extract significantly reduce SGPT level against control+STZ group (84,12±17,53 vs. 36,3±27,4 u/L, p=0,018). Administration of turmeric extract significantly reduce hepatic cell inflamation against control+STZ group (30(26-68) vs. 20(15-30)%, p=0,035). Conclusion: Each turmeric and java turmeric extract can improve liver fuction and decreasing hepatic cell inflamation on streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus mice, but may not mediated by decreasing blood glucose level.

Abstract

Objectives: To ascertain the nitric oxide (NO) level of the follicular fluid of endometriosis sufferers compared with that of the non-endometriosis patients.Materials and Methods: Follicular fluid was taken from 64 women, but only 54 continued with further laboratory test. Women with endometriosis had their follicular fluid taken during laparoscopy, while the follicular fluid from non-endometriosis women was taken during tubectomy. Nitric Oxide level was analyzed using the PCR-RFLP method. Data were analyzed using software STATA Intercooled Version 11.Results: NO level in endometriosis is higher than that in non-endometriosis and has a significant relationship with all the variables (age, parity, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, types of endometriosis, and grade of endometriosis).Conclusion: The NO level in endometriosis is higher than that in non-endometriosis. The distribution of the polymorphism of allele GG is greater than that in non-endometriosis. The existence of polymorphism GG caused a higher eNOS, increasing NO level, causing a decrease in fertility which derived from the degenera-tive oocyte.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The depletion of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT-4) affects blood glucose level in the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patient. Herbals supplementation such as Artemisia annua is known to posses an antidiabetic potency, but its effect on long term glucose control marker, glicated hemoglobin (HbA1C) and muscle GLUT-4 expression still has not been investigated.METHODS: Twenty Wistar rats were divided into four groups (five rats per group). The C1 group was consist of healthy control rats and C2 group was consist of diabetic control rats. Diabetic condition was induced by giving high lard fat diet for 28 days, followed with 30 mg/kgBW of Streptozotocin injection at the 29th day. Meanwhile, T1 and T2 group were consist of diabetic rats, which were supplemented with 50 mg/kgBW and 100 mg/kgBW of Artemisia annua leaf extract, respectively. GLUT-4 expression and HbA1C level were measured at the 14th day post-treatment.RESULTS: The GLUT-4 was expressed 1.8 and two times higher in T1 and T2 group, respectively, compared to C2 group. Meanwhile, HbA1C level in C2 group was two times higher than C1 group (11.95±2.52 compared to 5.61±2.69, p<0.01). Further, the administration of 100 mg/ kgBW Artemisia annua extract caused a slight reduction of HbA1C (11.95±2.52 compared to 8.18±3.53, p>0.05)CONCLUSION: Muscle cell’s GLUT-4 in T1 and T2 group was expressed increasingly and significantly different compared to the C2 group. HbA1C level in T2 was slightly reduced although no significant different compared to C2 group.KEYWORDS: Artemisia annua, GLUT-4, HbA1C, type 2 diabetes mellitus
