Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients have multi-organ involvement related to their chronic inflammatory, autoimmune disease. Calcinosis can be clinical manifestations of SLE. Tissue calcinosis is reported in approximately 17% patients and myocarditis in 20-55% patients. Thus, both manifestations are not unusual in SLE. Tachypnea, tachycardia, pericardial effusion, and wheezing are often present and can be misleading in SLE patient.1,2 Calcinosis is less common in SLE, sometimesit is found as an incidental radiological finding. Calcification in SLE maybe periarticular, within joints or muscles, or in the subcutis (calcinosis universalis).1 Calcinosis is classified into four subsets: dystrophic, metastatic, idiopathic, or calciphylaxis/iatrogenic. When calcinosis cutis is isolated to a small area in extremities and joints, it is called calcinosis circumscripta; whereas its diffuse form, refers to calcinosis universalis, affects subcutaneous and fibrous structures of muscles and tendons. The pathophysiology of this condition is unknown and no effective therapy is currently available.3,4,5 Systemic lupus erythematosus can involve the myocardium, pericardium, cardiac valves,and coronary arteries. Myocarditis in SLE is not likely to produce major regional wall motion abnormalities but may contribute to global left ventricular dysfunction.7,8We report a young woman with SLE who developed calcinosis and myocarditis.

Abstract

Background : Previous studies showed a significant role of Vitamin D in modulating inflammation and immune abnormality in SLE. The correlation between vitamin D supplementation and SLE disease activity remains controversy. Neutrophyl-Lymphocyte count Ratio (NLCR) as an inflammation marker was significantly increased in SLE patients.Objective : To evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on disease activity and neutrophyllypmhocyte count ratio (NLCR) in SLE patients with hypovitaminosis D.Methods : This is a pre-post test study without control group using a consecutive sampling method. SLE patients were enrolled from Rheumatology Clinic of HasanSadikin General Hospital from November 2013-March 2014. Subjects received vitamin D3 2000 IU/day for 3 months. Data was analyzed using Wilcoxon test.Results : We analyzed 28 subjects with 89,3% of vitamin D deficiency and 10,7% of vitamin D insufficiency, which converted to 25% of vitamin D deficiency, 32,1% vitamin D insufficiency and 42,9% normal vitamin D plasma level at the end of the study.After supplementation, Mexican Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (MEX-SLEDAI) and NLCR was significantly decreased (median 4(3-8) to 2(0-6) and median 2,95(1,17-7,27) to 2,28 (1,07-4,87), p<0,001, respectively). SLE organ involvement such as mucocutan, hematology and renal also high BMI (>23 kg/m2) were risks of hypovitaminosis D. Vitamin D supplementation increased mean 25(OH)D serum level by 164,7%, 46,7% decreased of MEX-SLEDAI, and 24,2% decreased of NLCR (p<0,001). Nine subjects (32,1%) achieved remission, 19 subjects (67,9%) atdisease persistence and no subjects experienced flare up after supplementation.Conclusion : The effects of vitamin D3 2000 IU/day supplementation for 3 months are reduced disease activity and NLCR in SLE patients with hypovitaminosisD. The role of NLCR as a simple inflammation marker in this pilot study needs further investigation.

Abstract

Background: Progression and expansion of skin fibrosis are the most important characteristics in determining clinical responses and prognosis of Systemic Sclerosis(SSc). Using modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) can not rapidly detect a slight changes of skin fibrosis in SSc patients. Biomarker assessment is needed to make a more objective, quantitative and rapid evaluation of the changes. Suggested potential useful biomarker isB-cell Activating Factor (BAFF), a positive regulator of B cell survival and maturation process. This study aimed to evaluate correlation between skin fibrosis based on mRSS and BAFF serum in SSc patients.Methods: We used cross sectional methods. Enrolled all patients who met ACR EULAR 2013 criteria for SSc in Rheumatology Clinic Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, from November 2015 to March 2016. Subjects underwent medical record review, physical examination,mRSS measurement by rheumathologist, and blood tests. Data were analized using Rank-Spearman Correlation.Results: Thirty seven subjects, with mean age 40+10 years old. Subjects consisted of 23(62.2%) limited SSc and 14(37.8%) diffuse SSc. Mean BAFF serum was 1160.2+424.7 pg/mL, no statistical difference were found between limited and diffuse type (p=0.662).Median mRSS results was 16 ranged from 2 to 36.Correlation between mRSS and BAFF serum was not significant (r=0.077; p=0.326).Conclusion: There is no correlation between mRSS and BAFF serum in systemic sclerosis at Hasan Sadikin Hospital.Keywords: mRSS, BAFF, Systemic Sclerosis

Abstract

Introduction: Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease, characterized by vasculopathy, specific autoimmune, and fibrosis. Assesment of skin fibrosis by modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) can not detect the minimal changes of skin fibrosis within lessthan 3 months. A biomarker is needed to assess the minimal changes of skin fibrosis progressivity with a more objective, quantitative, and rapid way. Procollagen type-1 N-Terminal Propeptide (P1NP), a degradation product of collagen type-1, may become a potential biomarker for skin fibrosis. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between skin fibrosis by mRSS with P1NP serum in systemic sclerosis.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study performed among systemic sclerosis patients at Rheumatology outpatient clinic, Dr.Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung, from May 2016 to July 2016. Skin fibrosis was measured by mRSS. P1NP level was determined by ELISA. Data were analyzed using Rank-Spearman Correlation.Result: There were thirty-seven subjects, with mean age 37 (SD ±7) years old. Most of subjects were female (91.9%). Subjects consisted of 23 (62.2%) limited SSc and 14 (37.8%) diffuse SSc. Six subjects (16.2%) were DMARD naïve. We found median (range) P1NP serum was 43.85 (9.81-127.90) ng/dL, while the median of MRSS was 14 (3-36). There is a moderate correlation between MRSS and P1NP serum (r=0.443, p=0.003)Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between mRSS and P1NP serum in systemic sclerosis patient at Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung.Keywords: systemic sclerosis, P1NP, modified rodnan skin score

Abstract

Background Aim of this research is to assess the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab (TCZ) in combination with methotrexate (MTX) in Indonesian patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have an inadequate response to non-biologic DMARDs.Methods This was a interventional, prospective, single arm, multicenter, study in  Indonesian male or female patients aged ≥ 18 years old, with a diagnosis of RA for > 6 months based on ACR 1987 revised criteria with moderate to severe disease activity (DAS28 score > 3.2) after ≥ 12 weeks of non-biologic DMARDs treatment. The treatment consisted of tocilizumab, 8 mg/kg, intravenous (IV), every 4 weeks for a total of 6 infusion in combination with oral MTX (10−25 mg) every week. Efficacy was assessed based on the percentage of patients achieving low disease activity state (DAS28 < 3.2), percentage of patients achieving reduction > 1.2 point of DAS28, percentage of patients achieving remission (DAS28 < 2.6), and percentage of patients with ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 responses. Descriptive statistics will be used for presentation of results.Results 100% patients reached low disease activity (DAS28 ≤ 3.2) at last study visit (week 24) and clinically significant improvement (reduction at least 1.2 units) at every visit in DAS28, both for ITT or PP patients. Remission (DAS28 < 2.6) was observed in 82.1% (ITT patients) and 93.1 % (PP patients) on last study visit. ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 were achieved in 20%, 34%, and 34% (ITT patients), and 7%, 24%, and 62% (PP patients) on week 24. There were 3 out of 39 patients (7.69%) with adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events (SAE) that resulted in discontinuation of TCZ treatment, consisting of 1 patient with SAE of sepsis ec acquired community pneumonia, 1 patient with SAE of pneumonia tuberculosis, and 1 patient with AE of candidiasis. Most common adverse events were hepatic dysfunction (30.7%), hypercholesterolemia (23.1%), followed by arthralgia (20.5%) Twelve percent of patients needed dose modification due to elevated liver enzyme (elevated ALT/SGPT level).Conclusion Tocilizumab seems to be efficacious and likely to have good safety profile in non- biologic DMARD nonresponsive RA patients of PICTURE INA study.   Keywords: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Tocilizumab, DMARD, DAS28

Abstract

Background: Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is one of the major cause of morbidity and mortality in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc). The gold standard to diagnose ILD is using High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) scan. HRCT scan need a lot of cost and not always available, so another diagnosing test is needed as an alternative modality to diagnose ILD. ILD is a restrictive lung disease caused by lung fibrosis which is proved by the decrease of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) in spirometry, and followed by the increase of soluble CD40L (sCD40L) level in plasma. This sCD40L may become a potential biomarker to evaluate lung fibrosis in SSc patients. The aim of this study is to analyze the correlation of sCD40L levels with FVC score in SSc patients with restrictive lung disease.Method:This cross sectional study was enrolled by the SSc patient who has restrictive lung disease based on spirometry test, at Rheumatology outpatient clinic dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital from May 2015 to May 2016. All subject took underwent history, physical examination, spirometry and blood test for sCD40L. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation.Result:There were 38 subjects involved in this study, dominated bywoman (92.1%) with mean age 41(±11) years. Subjects consist of 22(57,9%) with limited SSc, 16(42,1%) with diffuse SSc patients and 33 subjects treated with DMARD. Mean sCD40L serum in this study was 6.690,3(±2.377,3) pg/mL, with no statistical difference between limited and diffuse type (p=0.154). Mean FVC score in this study was 58.2(±10,8). There was no significant correlation between sCD40L serum with FVC (r=0.058; p=0.366). There was weak correlation on DMARD naïve subject between sCD40L serum and FVC (r=0.058; p=0.366) but statistically insignificant. There was no significant correlation between sCD40L serum with mRSS (r=0,066; p=0,346).Conclusion: This study founds no correlation between sCD40L with FVC in SSc at dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital. Keyword : sCD40L, Forced Vital Capacity, Restrictive Lung Disease, Systemic Sclerosis

Abstract

Background Rheumatoid arthritis is the most prevalent form of inflammatory arthritis. One of the key components for its multidimensional outcome is the disease activity, measured by DAS28-ESR. The physical, emotional, and social aspects of RA contribute to the quality of life, and SF-36 questionnaire can be used to measure it. This study aims to ascertain the correlation between the disease activity (DAS28-ESR) and the quality of life (SF-36) in RA patients. Method This study was an analytical, descriptive study with a cross sectional design that took primary data from RA patients undergoing treatment in Rheumatology Clinic of Hasan Sadikin Hospital from February to April 2015. The patient’s data included sex, age, marital status, employment status, educational level, serostatus (RF and Anti-MCV), duration of diagnosis, total number of medications, total number of DMARD, DAS28-ESR scores, and SF-36 scores. The data was analysed with the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, followed by the Rank-Spearman correlation analysis. Result There were 42 subjects, with an average age of 41 ± 12. The ratio between females and males was 20:1, and the majority of subjects (73,8%) had a positive serostatus (RF and/or anti-MCV). The score median of DAS28-ESR was 4,3, with the score median for SF-36 PCS being 39,8 and the score median for SF-36 MCS being 48,2. Based on the the Rank-Spearman analysis (CI of 95%), there was a correlation between DAS28-ESR score and SF-36 PCS score, with the correlation coefficient (r) of -0,577 (p < 0,001), and there was also a correlation between DAS28-ESR score and SF-36 MCS score with r of -0,368 (p = 0,008). Conclusion There was a strong negative correlation between disease activity and physical component of quality of life, and a moderate negative correlation between disease activity and mental component of quality of life, and the two correlations were statistically significant.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of hyperuricemia has increased overtime globally. Moreover, it has been linked with several metabolic syndromes. A study in Depok City and Denpasar showed prevalence of hyperuricemia were up to 18.6% and 18.2%, respectively. Urban lifestyle has been proposed to contribute for hyperuricemia; however, there is no published study conducted in rural population yet. Therefore, we performed this study to evaluate the prevalence and metabolic syndromes profile of hyperuricemic patients in rural area. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted at regional government hospital in North Kayong Regency, West Kalimantan. We retrieved all complete internal medicine outpatient data between October and December 2018. All non-pregnant, adult patients newly diagnosed with hyperuricemia or currently taking uric acid lowering drug were included in this study. Result: A total of 44 out of 121 subjects (36.36%) had hyperuricemia; 25 subjects (56.81%) were male and had median age of 53 years old. Mean level of serum uric acid was 8.30±1.77mg/dl. The metabolic syndrome profiles (diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia) vary among subjects; ranging from 20.45% (hypertriglyceridemia) to 86.36% (hypertension). Conclusion: Hyperuricemia and its metabolic disorders are an emerging burden of disease in rural area in Indonesia.

Abstract

A B S T R A C TSystemic sclerosis is characterized by extensive and progressive organfibrosis processes leading to organ failure and death. Modified Rodnan SkinScore (mRSS) had been used as a clinical parameter of skin fibrosis. Anti-topoisomerase I and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) are potential biomarkers forassessing disease activity. The study was performed to determine theassociation of anti-topoisomerase I and CRP antibodies with mRSS values.We performed an observational analytic study based on primary andsecondary data. Systemic sclerosis patient sera data was obtained fromDewi S et al's study, taken from May 2015 to June 2017. Serum Anti -topoisomerase I antibody and CRP level analysis were performed inDecember 2017.Fifty six samples analyzed. Fifty four subjects (96.4%) out of 56 subjects arewomen with an average age of 37 ± 11 years, 41 subjects (73.3%) hasdisease duration over 2 years, 34 subjects (60.7%) has difuse systemicsclerosis, 41 subjects (73.3%) in steroid therapy and 50 subjects (89.3%) inmethotrexate therapy. The statistical analysis showed no correlationbetween anti-topoisomerase I antibody and CRP levels with mRSS values(r = 0.205, p = 0.064; r = -0.134, p = 0.167), but there was a positivecorrelation of anti-topoisomerase I antibody level with mRSS (r = 0,422 p =0,007) and negative correlation between CRP level and mRSS (r = -0,511 p= 0,001) in diffuse sclerosis systemic.From this study we concluded that anti-topoisomerase I antibody and CRPlevel were not correlated with mRSS, but in patient with diffuse systemicsclerosis there was a positive correlation of anti-topoisomerase I antibodylevel with mRSS and negative correlation between CRP level and mRSS.

Abstract

Background: One of the causes of the increase in hospitalized SLE patients is infection, and it is an important factor in morbidity and mortality, so it is necessary to conduct a research to identify factors related to infection and the type of infection caused in hospitalized SLE patients. Methods: This study is a retrospective, categorical descriptive study utilizing medical records of SLE patients diagnosed with and treated for infection both on admission and during their stay in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital between January 2016 to June 2018. Results: Seventy- four patients were involved into this study. Female were 70 (94.6%), aged <40 years were 69 (93.2%) patients, and all 74 (100%) were entirely in an active disease condition with a mean Mexican systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity (Mex-SLEDAI) score of 9 ± 5.2. Fifty-three (71.6%) subjects experienced major infections. Mucocutaneous and kidney were the most organs involvement found in SLE patients during infection, 63 (85.1%) and 57 (77.0%) respectively. Sixty-two (83.7%) subjects had received corticosteroids before the onset of infection, while pneumonia was the most common infection found in 33 patients (44.6%). This study also noted 12 (16.2%) patients deceased related to infection with most causes were respiratory failure (66.7%). Conclusion: Age less than 40-year-old, mucocutaneous and kidney involvement and previously on corticosteroids were found higher among in hospitalized SLE patients. Most experienced major infections and pneumonia is the most common type of infection.
