Abstract

Background: Fatty liver is a broad term for a condition in which there is an increase triglyceride level in hepatocyte. In Indonesia there is not much research about this condition. Fatty liver is a major health problem in West countries, and is slowly increasing in Asian countries. For many individual with fatty liver, have no specific complaint or can have no symptoms at all. This aim of this study to analyzed the relationship between fatty liver images on abdominal CT scans with dyslipidemia. Methods: This study is an observational analytic study with a case – control type of research with the aim of knowing the relationship between CT scan images of fatty liver and dsylipidemia. The data in this study were all medical records who went to the Radiology Department for abdominal CT scan at the Haji Adam Malik General Hospital for a period of one year from January 1st, 2020 to December 31st 2020. Results: The subjects on the abdominal CT scan results with fatty liver and high triglyceride is 5 peoples out of 12 (41.7%). The test results obtained p value = 0.,688 (p>0,05), in other words there is no significant relationship between fatty liver and high triglyceride level. Conclusion: No significant relationship was found between the incidence of fatty liver and the incidence of dyslipidemia.

Abstract

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a spiral-shaped, anaerobic, and gram-negative pathogenic bacteria found in the gastric mucosa that causes chronic gastritis and gastric cancer. One of the most studied H. pylori virulence factors is the CagA protein in which positive anti-CagA antibodies increase the risk of malignancy in the stomach. This research was aimed to determine the correlations between Helicobacter pylori CagA antibody serum and gastric premalignant lesions in Helicobacter pylori patients. Method: This was a cross-sectional and analytic research. The sample of this study were patients diagnosed with Helicobacter pylori at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital in Medan who corresponded the inclusion criteria. The research was conducted from January to December 2022. The sampling technique used was consecutive sampling. Selected subjects underwent endoscopy and biopsy, as well as antibody detection of CagA, then the data analysis was carried out. Results: The number of samples that included in this study were 60 people. Based on demographic characteristics, the majority of patients were women, Batak ethnic, having a normal body mass index, not having a history of alcohol consumption, and non-smokers. The majority of people with Helicobacter pylori did not have CagA antibodies. There was a significant relationship (p=0.009) between  antibody of CagA and gastric premalignant lesions, as well as the prevalence ratio is 2.6. Conclusion: There is a correlation between antibody of CagA and gastric premalignant lesions in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection.

Abstract

Introduction: The MPV/Lymphocyte Ratio is a simple inflammatory parameter that can be obtained from a complete blood count. Hepatitis patients with liver cirrhosis have a higher MPV causing thrombopoietin to decrease so that the platelet count decreases. The inflammatory response can cause a decrease in the number of lymphocytes and is closely related to a poor prognosis in patients with hepatitis B virus. This study aims to examine the differences in the MPV/Lymphocyte ratio in chronic hepatitis B patients with and without liver cirrhosis. Methods: The samples for this study was chronic hepatitis B patients with and without liver cirrhosis who met he inclusion criteria. The research was carried out by taking blood samples from 94 patients treated in the internal medicine treatment room and Gastroenterohepatology polyclinic at Adam Malik Hospital, Medan. Samples were examined for MPV, absolute lymphocytes, then the MPV/lymphocyte ratio was calculated. Results: The total number of subjects in this study was 94 and there were 62 men and 32 women. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic groups (p = 0.001). Conclusion: There was a significant difference in the ratio of MPV/lymphocytes in the group of hepatitis B subjects with cirrhosis and in the group of hepatitis B subjects without liver cirrhosis. (p = 0.001).
