Abstract

Introduction : The aim of this study was to determine serum lactate dehydrogenase activity and its correlation with carbohydrate intake in advanced lung cancer patients at Dharmais National Cancer Hospital Jakarta. Cancer Cells are characterized by increase anaerobic glycolysis termed the Warburg effect with lactate as an end product, catalyzed by LDH enzyme. Activities of lactate in cancer influences on tumor growth initiation, survival, proliferation, angiogenesis and metastasis. Serum LDH activity can be used as a diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive marker for tumor sensitivity and resistancy to therapy.Methods :56 subjects of advanced lung cancer from Dharmais National Cancer Hospital Jakarta were included in this cross sectional study. Subjects were recruited by consecutive sampling. Food intake of total carbohydrate was obtained by utilizing 24 hours food recall method. The activity of  serum LDH (IU/L) was measured by using enzymatic spectrophotometry method on automated analyzer.Results :The mean of age subjects was 56,98 ± 10,36 years old and 55,4% were male. Carbohydrate intake based on 24 hours food recall was 57,64 ± 10,85%. The median of LDH activity was 541,5 (164–6539) IU/L, 60,7% was increase.Conclusion :This study showed medium negative significant correlation (p = 0,017, r = - 0,317) between total carbohydrate intake per day in grams with LDH serum activity. If carbohydrate source is reduced, the LDH enzyme will increase to keep the glycolysis process going. The results of this study indicate that an adequate carbohydrate needed in patients with cancer.

Abstract

The inflammatory process of head and neck cancer leads to an increase the proinflammatory cytokines and the synthesis of c-reactive protein (CRP), which then causes metabolic alteration and anorexia in the patients. Zinc is one of  nutrient that has an important role in suppressing inflammation, but it is reported that about 65% of head and neck cancer patients have zinc deficiency. The aim of this cross sectional study is to determine the correlation between zinc intake and serum zinc levels with CRP level as an effort in reducing inflammation process in head and neck cancer patients. Subjects were collected by consecutive sampling in the Oncology Polyclinic Rumah Sakit Kanker Dharmais, from 49 subjects 67,3% were men, most subjects were in the age range between 46–65 years. The highest frequency (65,3%) is nasopharyngeal cancer and 69,4% are already in stage IV. All subjects (100%) in this study have a zinc intake below the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) in Indonesia. The mean serum zinc level of the subjects was 9.83±2.62 μmol/L. Most subjects have elevated CRP levels. There was a weak negative correlation between zinc concentration and CRP levels of subjects (r =-0.292, p =0.042), but there was no correlation between zinc intake and CRP levels of subjects (r =-0.25).

Abstract

Background:  Early nutritional intervention with partially-hydrolyzed whey-based formula (PHF-W) instead of standard cow’s milk formula (CMF) has been found to reduce the risk of atopic dermatitis (AD) development in non-exclusively breastfed infants with familial heredity of AD.Objective:  To estimate the 6-year economic impact of this nutritional intervention in non-exclusively breastfed Indonesian urban infants with family history of AD.Methods:  A mathematical model simulated AD incidence and burden of using PHF-W vs. CMF in the target population from birth to age 6. The model integrated literature, current cost and market catalogues, and expert clinician opinion. Modeled outcomes included AD risk, time spent post-AD diagnosis, days without flare, quality-adjusted life-years, and costs.Results: Using PHF-W instead of CMF resulted in an estimated absolute 14% (95% CI: 4%, 23%) AD risk reduction, a 0.69 year (95% CI: 0.26, 1.13) per-child reduction in time spent post-AD diagnosis, a 38 (95% CI: 12, 67) increase in days without AD flare, and a 0.046 gain in quality-adjusted life-years. The AD-related 6-year cost estimates when feeding high-risk urban infants with PHF-W were Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) 8,695,057 (95% CI: IDR 4,519,447, IDR13,995,605) and IDR13,139,569 (95% CI: IDR 7,098,794, IDR 19,216,068) per child, respectively, resulting in a net per-child difference of IDR 4,444,512 (95% CI: IDR1,893,080, IDR 8,557,946) favoring PHF-W.Conclusion: PHF-W for the first 17 weeks of non-exclusively breastfed Indonesian urban infants with a hereditary risk of AD demonstrated a reduction in AD incidence, increased days without flare, and increased quality-adjusted life-years and net cost reductions.

Abstract

Introduction: Breast cancer is the leading killer of women in Malaysia. Nutritional status and adiponectin are modifiable risk factors for breast cancer occurrence which can be efficiently targeted. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between nutritional status and high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin levels among breast cancer patients as compared to controls. Methods: This was a case- control study, conducted in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia and Universiti Sains Malaysia campus. Newly diagnosed breast cancer cases (n=55) were assigned as cases while healthy controls (n=58) were staff members of HUSM and USM campus. Sociodemographic and reproductive data were obtained with a standard questionnaire while the dietary data was obtained from a validated diet history questionnaire. Anthropometric assessments [weight, height, hip, waist circumference (WC) and body fat composition] were measured while overnight fasting venous blood samples were analysed for lipid profiles, glucose, insulin, high sensitivity C-reactive protein and HMW adiponectin. Results: A significant linear negative relationship exists between WC and HMW adiponectin (β=-0.05; p=0.005) among breast cancer cases. Additionally, HDL cholesterol was positively associated with HMW adiponectin (β=1.83; p=0.010) among the cases. BMI was negatively associated with HMW adiponectin (β=-0.02; p=0.001) among healthy controls. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that WC, BMI and HDL cholesterol had significant relationship with HMW adiponectin. Low levels of HMW adiponectin, low WC and high HDL levels may be protective against breast cancer

Abstract

Background: Colorectal cancer patients may be treated with several modalities and one of them is surgical treatment. Surgery in cancer patients is risky procedure and may not always resulted in prolonged survival. Therefore, before receiving any recommended treatment, the patient’s prognosis has to be assessed and defined properly. Several methods are available to assess the prognosis of cancer patients; one of them is the prognostic nutritional index (PNI).Objective: This study aimed to predict the survival of a colorectal cancer patient post-operatively by calculating the pre-operative PNI score.Method: Literature searching was done using inclusion and exclusion criteria on two databases, i.e. the PubMed and the Cochrane Library. The outcome was survival (disease-free survival, relapse-free survival, or overall survival).Results: Five articles that address the clinical question were retrieved. All indicated that a patient with low PNI score (<44.5) had a shorter overall survival (HR between 1.92 and 3.98 with all p values were <0.05).Conclusion: Pre-operative PNI score can be used to assess the overall survival of a colorectal cancer patient who underwent surgical resection. Patients with a PNI score > 44.5 had better survival than lower PNI score.

Abstract

Introduction: Lung cancer is highly prevalent and the major cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.  Severity of weight loss has been shown to have a negative impact on patients’ performance and quality of life.  Early detection of anorexia and decline of functional capacity will be very usefull to prevent severe weight loss and a better prognosis. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in Dharmais Cancer Hospital.  Subjects were lung cancer patients newly diagnosed or a minimal of 2 months pasca chemotherapy or radiotherapy, taken consecutively from inpatients and outpatients.  Results: Subjects eligible for the study were 47, with a composition of 55.3% men and 44.7% women in the age range from 36–79 years old. There were significant relationship between body weight and BMI with ECOG score. Body weight, BMI  and weight loss related significantly with VAS appetite and SNAQ score.  These result indicate that subjects with a higher BMI and a lower weight loss have a better physical performa and appetite.  There were significant relation between haemoglobin level, anemia status and serum albumin level with appetite and risk for anorexia. This result indicate that subjects with normal haemoglobin  and albumin have a good appetite and a lower risk for anorexia.  Conclusions: Positive prognosis of cancer patients can be obtained by maintaining BMI and preventing weight loss, since both affected the already known prognostic marker functional capacity significantly.  Serum Albumin and hemoglobin are not only simple test, but also brings benefits, a clinical marker that may be used to assess the risk of anorexia.

Abstract

Introduction Vitamin B12 plays a role during pregnancy in maintaining folate metabolism. Together with folate and vitamin B6, B12 is involved as a coenzyme in DNA synthesis and various methylation reactions in developing embryos. This study aims to compare plasma folate, vitamin B6 and B12 blood levels with respect to the presence of probiotic strain Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HNO19 (DR10TM) among pregnant women in Indonesia. Methods: This study is part of a larger study entitled “Effects of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HNO19 (DR10TM), inulin, and micronutrient fortified milk on fecal DR10TM, immune markers, and maternal micronutrients among Indonesian pregnant women.” Further analyses were performed using independent-t test or Mann Whitney test, GLM-repeated measures and chi-square test, to compare folate, vitamin B6 and B12 intake and blood concentration during pregnancy with presence (n=22) and absence (n=55) subjects of fecal DR10TM at third trimester. Results: At the first trimesters there was no difference in plasma vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 levels between the two groups, based on the presence or absence of fecal DR10TM. However, at the second and third trimester, vitamin B6 blood concentration (p=0.034 and p=0.001) and vitamin B12 blood concentrations at the third trimester (p=0.035) were significantly higher in the fecal DR10TM positive group, while having a similar vitamin B6 and B12 intake. Conclusion: Consumption of pre- and probiotics during the periconceptional period may be a useful strategy for improving maternal vitamin B’s vitamins, especially vitamin B6 and B12 status and therefore provide benefits for the offspring’s quality of life.

Abstract

Long-term exclusive breastfeeding is definitively the best feeding for every infant. Exclusive breast feeding should be for six months. From the age of six months onwards, solid food should be introduced while breast feeding is continued.1There are only very few contra-indications for breast feeding or mother’s milk. A maternal severe disease is an example of a contra-indication for breast feeding. If a mother has to take medication or undergo a treatment that may have a deleterious effect on the health of the baby, such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy, breast feeding cannot be recommended.2In such a situation, mother’s milk from a different mother or a “milk bank” may offer a solution. If this are not possible, infant formula is indicated. Some seldom metabolic diseases such as galactosemia are also contra-indications for mother’s milk, because in such a situation lactose is causing severe damage to the baby. Cow’s milk based lactose containing infant formula is then as well contra-indicated, since the baby cannot metabolize lactose. However, it speaks for itself that these situation are exceptional.3,4
