Abstract

Introduction: The nutritional status of pregnant women has a significant impact on the fetus's health and development. Low birth weight can be caused by womb growth problems. Research in Nepal shows that babies with low birth weight have a higher risk of becoming stunted. West Sulawesi is the most populous province in Central Indonesia, with a population of 39.7%. In Mamuju District, West Sulawesi, the relationship between stunted babies and maternal nutritional status during pregnancy was investigated. Methods: Cross sectional analytic survey with a retrospective approach. Data processing using the chi square test. The population in this study was 20.039 people. Total sampling was used to collect nutritional status data of children under the age of five in West Sulawesi province from February to June 2020. In this study, 88 people were sampled, all of whom were mothers of stunted children aged 2 to 5 Years old and who had a KIA book during pregnancy. Results: The results of statistical tests showed that the p value of nutritional status with BMI and LILA 0.000 and the p value of HB levels 0.066. There was a link between pregnant women's nutritional status and LILA, but not between HB levels and stunting. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women based on BMI and LILA and the incidence of stunting in Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi Province.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting is a linear growth disorder caused by malnutrition in chronic nutrient intake and chronic recurrent infectious diseases as indicated by height z-score according to age. Infancy is a period that is very sensitive to the environment so more attention is needed especially the adequacy of nutrition. Obstetric complications are very influential on several determinant factors, one of these factors is a medical society or social risk. Family socioeconomic status such as family income, parental education, mother's knowledge about nutrition, and the number of family members can indirectly relate to stunting. Methods: A cross-sectional analytic with a retrospective approach. Processing data using regression tests. Result: The results of this Stunting study were obtained from nutritional status data on children under five in the province of West Sulawesi in January-June 2020 by taking samples using simple random sampling. The total number of samples in this study were 88 people taken from mothers who have Stunting children aged 2-5 years. Social risk is the condition of the mother during pregnancy including age, level of education, ethnicity, occupation, income, referral decision, cost considerations, distance traveled, referral mobilization, consideration of health insurance that is expected to be related to stunting. Conclusion: In this study, it was found that the most influential medicosocial determinants were referral mobilization and employment.

Abstract

Background: Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is still periodically around developing countries including Indonesia. Morbidity and mortality of DHF can be reduced if early diagnosis and appropriate management. Objective: Our study evaluate risk factors of death in pediatric DHF patients hospitalized in Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar. Methods: we review the medical records of patients aged ≤ 18 years from January 2016 to December 2018 with confirmed DHF based on WHO criteria and serologically positive anti-dengue Ig M or positive anti-dengue IgM and Ig G. Results: During the study period, 70 patients aged 1-17 years with the complete medical records enrolled in this study. The DHF severity consisted of 37 cases (52,9%) with shock(DSS) and 33 cases (41,7%) without shock and mostly of them was admitted to the hospital on > 3 days of fever (63 cases /90,0%). Boys were predominantly (39/55,7%) found than girls (31/44,3%) and the majority of cases above 5 years (50/71,4%) with well-nourished patients in 46 cases (65,7%). The hematocrit level ≥ 40 mg/dl, platelets ≤ 40.000/mm3, and leukocyte ≤ 4000 mm3/l were observed in 41 cases (58,6%), 36 cases (51,4%), and 48 cases (68,6%); respectively. Death was observed in four girls (5.7%) (p 0,034/OR 1,148/ 95% CI 1,003 - 1,315) with DSS because of severe condition on admission. Conclusions: Girl was an independent risk factor of death among children with DHF.

Abstract

Introduction: Soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) is common in areas with poor sanitation. In Indonesia, the prevalence of the disease is still high ranging from 16–72%, despite the elimination efforts that have been done. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of STH, nutritional status, and hemoglobin levels of elementary school-age children in of slum area in Makassar. Methods: This was an observational study with a cross-sectional approach. Subjects were 33 elementary school-age children in one of the slum areas in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Stool samples were collected and examined using the Kato-Katz method. Hemoglobin levels were examined with the Azidemet hemoglobin method using capillary blood samples. Assessment of nutritional status was carried out anthropometrically using weight for height, height for age, and body mass index (BMI) for age as indicators. Results: The prevalence of STH in this study was 27%, all of them had low nutritional status. As many as 15% and 45% of subjects were severely wasted and wasted, respectively, based on the weight for height indication, 61% were wasted based on the BMI for age indicator, and 12% were stunted based on the height for age indicator. Ten percent of the subjects had low hemoglobin levels, none of them had STH. Conclusion: The STH prevalence of school-age children in one of the slum areas in Makassar is still high. Subjects with STH also experienced low nutritional status.

Abstract

Introduction: Chlorogenic Acid (CGA) is an antifibrotic and antioxidant for fibrotic tissues. These double roles be able to inhibit or fibrotic tissues chains because of internal and external issues. For example, virus, bacteria or other pathogens and also by drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc. as external factor that affect quality of body tissues. Toll-Like Receptor-4 (TLR-4) as a marker fibrotic tissues. It is a key for researcher could be find out by expression performance. The aim of this study is to reveal the CGA as a candidate of antifibrotic & antioxidant in liver fibrosis that induced by CCL4. Methods: This is a pure experimental research with a simple experimental design or post-test only control group design. The total 29 mices of 2.5-month-old male Swiss mices with weigh 35-40 gram divided into 6 group: 3 groups of controls (injected by natrium chloride, CGA, and CCL4) and 3 groups of treated (injected by CGA doses 42 mg/kg, 63 mg/kg or 84 mg/kg). Liver organ was used to examine the expression of TLR-4 by rt-PCR. This research revealed that expression of TLR-4 lower than the CCL4 control group (respectively, p=0.042; p=0.005; p=0.006; and p=0.001). Higher dose of CGA showed greater ability as anti-fibrotic through inhibit the expression of TLR-4. Some research found the expression of TLR-4 has been decreased by treatment of Clorogenic Acid (CGA). Conclusion: To sum up, CGA has double roles to repair liver fibrotic tissues. The greater doses of CGA, the stronger inhibition of TLR-4 expression.

Abstract

Introduction: Anemia is a frequent complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children and it causes an increase in morbidity, mortality and accelerates the rate of progression of CKD. Inflammation and impaired kidney clearance increase plasma hepcidin, inhibiting duodenal iron absorption and sequestering iron in macrophages. However, the role of hepcidin in increasing the risk of anemia in children with CKD is still uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the association between hepcidin levels and anemia in children with pre-dialysis CKD. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Soetomo Academic Hospital from December 2018 to February 2019. Children with pre-dialysis CKD were enrolled in this study. The subject had no history of erythropoietin administration and blood transfusion 3 months before the blood sample were withdrawn. A complete blood count, ferritin serum, transferrin saturation (TSAT) and hepcidin serum were performed. The correlations between Hepcidin and ferritin level, between ferritin level and anemia, and between TSAT and anemia were analyzed using Spearman correlation and the Mann-Whitney test. Results: A total of 47 children, 27 boys and 20 girls, ranged in age from 3 months to 18 years old. There was a significant correlation between hepcidin and ferritin levels (p=0.006) and the value of the Spearman correlation was r=0.392. While the correlation between ferritin level and anemia showed a significant result, p=0.001. However, TSAT did not show any significant correlation with anemia (p=0.230). Conclusion: There was an indirect association between hepcidin level and anemia by increasing ferritin level that induces anemia in pre-dialysis CKD children.
