Abstract

Introduction: Chlorogenic Acid (CGA) is an antifibrotic and antioxidant for fibrotic tissues. These double roles be able to inhibit or fibrotic tissues chains because of internal and external issues. For example, virus, bacteria or other pathogens and also by drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc. as external factor that affect quality of body tissues. Toll-Like Receptor-4 (TLR-4) as a marker fibrotic tissues. It is a key for researcher could be find out by expression performance. The aim of this study is to reveal the CGA as a candidate of antifibrotic & antioxidant in liver fibrosis that induced by CCL4. Methods: This is a pure experimental research with a simple experimental design or post-test only control group design. The total 29 mices of 2.5-month-old male Swiss mices with weigh 35-40 gram divided into 6 group: 3 groups of controls (injected by natrium chloride, CGA, and CCL4) and 3 groups of treated (injected by CGA doses 42 mg/kg, 63 mg/kg or 84 mg/kg). Liver organ was used to examine the expression of TLR-4 by rt-PCR. This research revealed that expression of TLR-4 lower than the CCL4 control group (respectively, p=0.042; p=0.005; p=0.006; and p=0.001). Higher dose of CGA showed greater ability as anti-fibrotic through inhibit the expression of TLR-4. Some research found the expression of TLR-4 has been decreased by treatment of Clorogenic Acid (CGA). Conclusion: To sum up, CGA has double roles to repair liver fibrotic tissues. The greater doses of CGA, the stronger inhibition of TLR-4 expression.

Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and becomes the main health problems in the world and in Indonesia, as well. The microorganism itself is an intracellular pathogen. The control of tuberculosis infection depends on cell-mediated immunity involving activated macrophages, T cells, and cytokines. The balance and dynamic changes between Th1 cytokine and Th2 cytokine refl ect the immune response of host and infl uence the clinical manifestation of the disease.Objectives: This research was designed to study the profi le and interaction of IFN-γ (Th1 cytokine) and IL-10 (Th2 cytokine) of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients in endemic area.Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 23 pulmonary TB patients and 16 healthy persons was cultured and stimulated by phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) to investigate the ability to secrete IFN-γ and IL-10.Result: The result showed that there was a decreased of IFN-γ response to PHA in PTB patients, suggesting the defi ciency of general immune capacity in PTB. In contrast, IFN-γ secreted by specifi c antigen was higher in PTB patients which minimal lung lesion was higher than moderate-far advanced. It is related to IFN-γ roles as immunomodulator in cellular immunity and immunoprotectant through stimulated antimicrobial capacity in macrophage. In fact, IL-10 response to PHA and M.tuberculosis antigen in PTB patients was lower than that of in healthy persons; moderate-far advanced lung lesion was the lowest. It was probably refl ecting their poor general conditions. Paired distribution between IFN-γ and IL-10 pointed out the leaning of negative interaction. It refl ected the existence of counterpart/cross regulation between IFN-γ(Th1 cytokine) and IL-10 (Th2 cytokine).Conclusion: In conclusion that specifi c immune response of PTB is related to the degree of lung lesion. This study also provides the balance of Th1 cytokine and Th2 cytokine in relation to TB.Key words: tuberculosis, immune response, IFN-γ, IL-10, lung lesion

Red fruit (Pandanus conoideus Lam) containing carotenoid and tocopherol that have antioxidants effects increase phagocytosis activity of macrophage and proliferation activity of lymphocyte as immune response againts parasite infection.Objectives: This study was intended to know the effect of red fruit (P. conoideus Lam) ethanol extract on IFN-γ and nitric oxide (NO) levels in Plasmodium berghei infected Swiss mice malaria model.Methods: This quasi experimental study used post test only control group design. Sixty eight-week aged male Swiss mice were devided into 6 groups. Group I was not given red fruit ethanol extracts neither infected by P.berghei, group II was given 260mg/kg/day of red fruit ethanol extracts, and it was not infected by P.berghei, groups III, IV and V were given red fruit ethanol extracts at 130, 260 and 520mg/kg/day respectively and infected by P.berghei. Group VI was not given the extract, however it was infected by P.berghei as control group. The red fruit ethanol extracts or the carrier was given for 28 days and the mice were infected by P.berghei in the beginning of week 3. On the day 3 and 9 after infection, 2 mL blood was taken from 3 mice of each group for serum isolation.Results: There was not any significant difference (p>0.05) mean of IFN-γ levels in all groups neither on day 3 nor day 9 after infection. The nitric oxide levels mean of mice group which have received red fruit extracts at 130 and 260mg/kg/day on the day 9 and  in mice group which have received red fruit extracts 260mg/kg/day on day 3 were lower than they were in control group without any extract (group VI). However, the nitric oxide levels mean of mice group which have received 520mg/kg/day did not show any significant difference (p>0.05) compared with control group.Conclusion: The red fruit (P. conoideus Lam) ethanol extract did not show any significant effect on the IFN-γ levels, however at doses of 130 and 260mg/kg/day it decreased the nitric oxide level of P. berghei infected Swiss mice malaria model significantly. Keywords: Pandanus conoideus Lam, Interferon gamma (INF-γ), Nitric oxide (NO),  Plasmodium berghei, and Malaria ModelKeywordsPandanus conoideus Lam, Interferon gamma (INF-γ), Nitric oxide (NO), Plasmodium berghei, and Malaria Model

Abstract

A new disease caused by a newly-found coronavirus, known as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), has been declared as a pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO). This new disease is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The outbreak started in late December of 2019 and it did not take a long time until it spread to more than 200 countries in the world with over 4 million confirmed cases to date. The number keeps skyrocketing as day passes, followed by the increasing number of fatalities. Among all of the infected patients, elderly is one of the vulnerable populations. Studies reported that the risk of infection is doubled in older people. This infection-susceptible characteristic may be due to the weak immune system, therefore they lack the capabilities to fight the infection. The deterioration of immune system in elderly is known as immunosenescence. The aim of this literature review is to understand the effect of immunosenescence in the immunopathogenesis and susceptibility of elderly who are exposed to COVID-19 infection.

Abstract

Background: One of scheduling problems in educational sector currently was the course scheduling in college or well known as University Course Timetabling Problem (UCTP). The UCTP was comprehensive because of the policy difference among the university, faculties, and departments.  The Faculty of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada, which organizes a block system has a different and more complex scheduling type than other faculties with non-block system. The porpose of this research was to build a mathematic model of block system UCTP in Faculty of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada to optimize the scheduling process time and results.Method: This research was conducted by dividing the scheduling problem into 4 sub – scheduling problems that are sequential, which are the scheduling of the 5 primary courses (lecture, panel discussion, practical sessions, tutorial, and skills laboratory), scheduling topics for each course, student’ group scheduling, and classroom scheduling. The problems are then modeled in the form of integer goal programming. Results: The block system scheduling model in Faculty of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada by considering topic and possibility of unavailability room using Sequential Three-Stage Integer Goal Programming has successfully developed and well verified.Conclusion: The model developed in this study is able to produce a schedule that meets all hard constraint in less than 24 hours. The result was more efficient compared to the previous trial-and-error method that consumed 30-45 days.

Abstract

An immune system recognizes and responds to antigens entering the body. Maintaining these roles, components of the immune system need energy obtained from nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. This study reviews and discusses roles of lipids, particularly fatty acids, in regulations of the immune system. This study was conducted by conducting a literature study on published research articles written in English. The articles were obtained from PubMed and Google Scholar by using search keywords: lipid, fatty acids, immune, regulation, inflammation, and response. Lipids are a group of biomolecule compounds composed of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, and they are classified into simple, compound and complex lipids. Fatty acids are compound lipids that act as a main fuel for metabolism, an essential component for all membranes, and a gene regulator. Fatty acids have a modulating effect on immune cells, such as: acting as a host defence, activating the immune system, interacting with nuclear transcription factors, playing roles in inflammatory responses, promoting apoptosis, as well as influencing lymphocyte proliferation, cytokine production, and Natural Killer (NK) cell activities. However, the modulation of the immune system by lipids is influenced by various factors such as concentration and types of fatty acids, types of immune cells, and species. This study is suggested to provide an overview of beneficial roles of lipids in maintaining immunity.
