Abstract

Background: Major beta thalassemia (MBT) is a hereditary disease which synthesis defect on beta chains of haemoglobin, it is cause red blood cell destruction and the symptoms of anemia. Red blood cells destruction, frequent blood transfusion and low adherence to routine use of iron chelator were cause iron accumulation in the heart, liver and endocrine organs. Accumulation of iron in the myocard can lead acute myocardial infarction. One of cardiac markers that had been used for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction was cardiac troponin I (cTnI). The aim of this research is find correlation between serum ferritin levels and cTnI in MBT children.Methods: A descriptive analytic research was conducted using a cross sectional design. The subjects were divided into 2 groups, the MBT group and the control group. In both groups perform laboratory examination to checks the serum ferritin and cTnI levels. Data were analyzed using t-test and Pearson correlation test.Result: Eleven children in the MBT group and 11 children in the control group were involved in this study. In the MBT group, the mean of serum ferritin and cTnI levels were 4292.5 μg/L and 0.22 ng/mL respectively. In the control group, the mean of serum ferritin and cTnI levels were 136.2 μg/L and 0.20 ng/mL respectively. The mean of serum ferritin levels in MBT group was higher than control, statistically significant (p= 0,0004 ). The mean of serum cTnI in MBT group was higher than control, statistically not significant (p= 0,82). In MBT group, there was a weak corellation between serum ferritin and cTnI levels (r = 0,34). Keywords: Major beta thalassemia, children, ferritin, cTnI

Abstract

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignancy that is often found in children. Many studies into the failure of apoptosis function, or programmed cell death, is one of the most important regulatory mechanisms of cellular hemostasis which is closely linked to the development of cancer, are important. Also, regulation of the apoptotic (p53) and anti-apoptotic (surviving) proteins influence treatment outcome. One role of p53 is to monitor cellular stress necessary to induce apoptosis. Surviving (BIRC5) is a group of proteins in the apoptosis inhibitor which works by inhibiting caspase-3. The role of surviving is considered very important in oncogenesis proliferation and cell growth regulation. Chemotherapy in childhood AML can inhibit cell growth and induce slowing as well as stopping the cell cycle. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare p53 and surviving before and after receiving induction chemotherapy in children with AML and also to determine the p53/surviving ratio. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected from AML children before treatment and three months after starting their induction therapy. p53 and surviving were measured by flowcytometry using monoclonal antibodies. Data were analyzed by t-test for comparison between groups and Spearman’s test to find out the correlation between variables with a significant value of p < 0.05. A total of 8 children were evaluated. The intensity of p53 expression was not significantly increased after induction phase chemotherapy (p = 0.224), but surviving expression and the ratio of p53/surviving were significantly increased in the treatment group compared with the levels prior to chemotherapy (p = 0.002, p = 0.034), and there was a strong negative correlation between p53 and surviving after chemotherapy (r = −0.63, p = 0.049).
