Abstract

Ovarian tumour ranks second in gynecology tumour cases and ranks second in gynecology tumour death in Indonesia. Tumour cause hypercoagulable that increase risk of thrombosis by procoagulant mechanism. Tumout cells also can cause hyperfibrinogenemmia that can cause bleeding. The aim of study was to know D-dimer and fibrinogen value to investigate primary hyperfibrinolysis on malignant and benign ovarian tumour; and to know whether operation procedure on malignant and benign tumour change D-dimer and fibrinogen value. Prospective analysis study, subject were malignant and benign ovarian tumour patients undergoing surgery in Haji Adam Malik Hospital, Medan. One way Annova test dan Wilcoxon Sum-Rank test were performed. Stastical differentiation is indicate with p<0,05. Study subject was 16 patient where 8 malignant and benign ovarian tumour patient respectively. Malignant ovarian tumour D-dimer values was higher than benign ovarian tumour (p<0,01) that indicate fibrinolysis increase in malignant ovarian tumour. Malignant ovarian tumour fibrinogen values as same as benign ovarian tumour (p>0,05) that indicate the fibrinolysis in ovarian tumour wasn’t primary hyperfibrinolysis. Surgery procedure didn’t influence D-dimer and fibrinogen values. Primary hyperfibrinolysis wasn’t occur in ovarian tumour.Keywords : Ovarian tumour, malignant, benign, D-dimer, fibrinogen.

Abstract

Background: The mechanism and pathogenesis of COVID-19 that distinguishes asymptomatic, mild, moderate, severe to critical symptoms is not yet known with certainty. Endothelial dysfunction and immune thrombosis serve as a profound pathogenic mechanism in COVID-19. Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is a major regulator of leukocyte adhesion that contributes to the formation of thrombosis. The purpose of the study determine the relationship between VCAM-1 level with the severity degree in COVID-19 patients. Methods: An analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from September – March 2022. This study was followed by 50 patients aged over 18 years with moderate, severe, and critical degrees of COVID-19 admitted to Haji Adam Malik General Hospital Medan by excluding malignancy and pregnancy patients. Serum VCAM-1 levels were measured using Chemwell Analyzer.  Results: Among 50 patients, 33 patients (66%) were male and 17 patients (34%) were female. The mean age was 57 years with the youngest 19 years old and the oldest 81 years old. The median level of VCAM-1 was 23,02 ng/mL (10.96 ng/mL - 50.63 ng/mL). The median concentration of VCAM-1 was 37.85 ng/mL (15,59 – 50.63), 36.68 ng/mL (19.58 – 49.71), and 18.83 ng/mL (10.96 – 46.32) for critical, severe, and moderate degree respectively (p = 0.001). The cut-off value of VCAM-1 levels to predict the severity of COVID-19 is 32.01 ng/mL. Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between VCAM-1 levels and the severity of COVID-19.
