Abstract

Liver fibrosis caused by chronic hepatitis B infection leads to significant mortality and morbidity. Monitoring and evaluation of liver fibrosis progression depend on the ability to detect the fibrosis. Liver biopsy as a gold standard for liver fibrosis is an invasive technique, while Fibroscan ® with transient elastography as a non-invasive technique has a limitation. Therefore, a biomarker is needed to detect liver fibrosis. Beta-catenin is a multifunctional protein, which has a Wnt-regulated transcription factor and resides in hepatocytes. Hepatitis B virus infection activates Wnt/beta-catenin and affects the expression of target genes for liver fibrosis. This study aimed to analyze the diagnostic performance of plasma beta-catenin levels using transient elastography as a standard reference to assess the degree of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection. This was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The analysis was performed on 70 chronic Hepatitis B patients between December 2020 and January 2021 at Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta. This ROC analysis was used to determine the cut-off point. The best AUC point was chosen using a 2x2 diagnostic test table. The cut-off point for plasma beta-catenin was 73.132 pg/mL and AUC was 0.793 (CI 95%: 0.681-0.906; p<0.001), indicating that the results were statistically significant with p<0.05. Sensitivity of 74.3%; specificity of 71.4%; PPV of 72.2%; NPV of 73.5%; LR (+) 2.6; LR (-) 0.36 were obtained. The beta-catenin level was <73.132 pg/mL. A total of 26 subjects were at risk for liver fibrosis with transient elastography >8 kPa. Plasma beta-catenin levels had moderate performance as a liver fibrosis marker.

Abstract

Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) is a concern for Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) and causes a 74% mortality rate in Asia Pacific. World Health Organization (WHO) showed Indonesia is the highest second country of Hepatitis B (HB) in the South East Asian Region, Central Java is the highest in Java and Dr. Moewardi Hospital (RSDM) Surakarta in 2019 increased to 15%. Liver biopsy is fibrosis gold standard staging. It has limitations and requires invasive procedure pain in 40% of patients. This study aimed to determine M2BPGi diagnostic test against to transient elastography (TE) Fibroscan® (sensitivity 85.7%, specificity 81.6%) as a predictor of significant liver fibrosis of CHB in RSDM. Fibroscan® examination was performed on patients diagnosed with CHB by a clinician performed at the endoscopy department of RSDM, whereas laboratory tests were carried out from December 2020 to January 2021. Plasma M2BPG-I cut-off value was determined using Receiving Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, M2BPGi levels were measured sandwich ELISA using spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 450 ± 2 nm. A total of 70 subjects was divided into 35 subjects with significant and 35 subjects with non-significant fibrosis. The results of the statistical calculation showed that plasma M2BPGi levels had a cut-off of 12.939 ng/mL (mean value of 17.841 ng/mL with significant fibrosis at 16.74 ng/mL and non-significant fibrosis at 10.14 ng/mL) had a moderate performance as a marker of liver fibrosis in CHB (71.4% sensitivity; 68.6% specificity; 69.4% PPV; 70.6% NPV and PLR 2.273), NR 0.417 with AUC of 0.727, CI 96% (0.681-0.0906). M2BPGi plasma levels at a cut-off of 12.939 ng/mL had a moderate performance as a predictor of significant liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B patients.

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic inflammatory autoimmune disorder characterized by persistent joint inflammation leading to cartilage and bone damage, disability, and systemic complications. The levels of APR such as SAA serum increase during synovitis. Previous studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory effect of M.oleifera leaf extract in the treatment of RA in animals; however, research data on humans remain limited. An experimental study on pre- and post-treatment of 40 RA patients was carried out by dividing subjects into 2 groups, including a standard therapy group and a standard therapy group added with M.oleifera leaf extract. The research was conducted at Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta from October 2020 to January 2021. The SAA levels were measured using ELISA. Paired T-test was used to analyze the differences in mean SAA levels before and after treatment. There was a significant difference between pre-treatment (346.57±54.40 ng/mL) and post-treatment (314.77±37.40 ng/mL) SAA levels in the standard therapy group added with M.oleifera leaf extract with p=0.01. Pre-treatment and post-treatment SAA levels in the standard therapy group were 322.68±87.01 ng/mL and 302.93±86.51 ng/mL, respectively with p=0.04. The mean of delta SAA in the standard therapy group added with M.oleifera leaf extract (-31.81±4.04 ng/mL) was greater than delta SAA in the standard therapy group (-19.75±4.07 ng/mL) with p=0.26. There was a significant decrease in SAA levels in RA patients on standard therapy and M. oleifera leaf extract.
