Abstract

Introduction: Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal disorder. DS characterized by multiple congenital anomaly caused by trisomy 21This study was designed to evaluate the karyotype pattern, clinical features and risk factors of patients with Down syndrome. Method: Data were obtained from a retrospective analysis of a questionnaire from Down syndrome patients. Result: A total of 34 patients were studied, with 67,6% of males. Out of 34 patients, there were 25 children (73,5%) with no cytogenetic test, 4 children (11,7%) with lost cytogenetic test, 3 children (8,82%) with free trisomy (non-disjunction), 1 (2,9%) with translocation, and 1 (2,9%) with mosaics. Maternal age categories showed one mother less than 20 years, two mothers between 21-25 years, four mothers were between 25 and 30 years, 12 mothers were between 31 and 35 years, ten mothers were between 31 and 40 years, and five mothers were over 41 years of age. The most common clinical features in this study are Congenital Heart Disease (CHD), which was recognized in 9 (26,4%) patients with five patients had Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), two patients had ASD and Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), two patients had Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). All of them followed by dental problems in 8 (23,5%) patients, ophthalmology problems in 6 (17,6%) patients, digestive problems in 4 (11,7%) patients, seizure in 1 (2,9%) patient, hormonal problems in 1 (2,9%) patient, and hearing problem in 1 (2,9%) patient. There is no significant difference in CHD prevalence between each maternal age group (p = 0776, p>0.05). Conclusion: Down syndrome has a higher prevalence in males and is frequently seen among mothers between 31 -35 years of age, yet maternal age did not seem to influence CHD prevalence significantly. Early diagnosis and proper screening should be undertaken among these patients.

Abstract

Introduction: In Indonesia, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a severe health problem both in terms of treatment and health costs. One way to reduce mortality is by blocking the progression of the disease. Transforming Growth Factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is a marker of progression from CKD through its fibrosis pathway. One mechanism for interfering with the TGF-β1 signaling pathway is by giving vitamin D3(cholecalciferol). This study aims to find out that supplementation of vitamin D3 can increase plasma 25(OH)D levels and reduce TGF-β1 levels in children with CKD. Methods: The study was approved by the hospital's ethical committee, designed as a randomized clinical trial, double-blind, pre and post-test control group, which involved 30 subjects diagnosed as CKD stage 1-3. Subjects were divided into two groups; the vitamin D3-treated group and the placebo group. TGF-β1 and vitamin D plasma level was measured by ELISA method. Results: Vitamin D levels increased by 9.35 compared to the placebo group. The magnitude of the increase from the Wilcoxon statistical test results obtained p=0.001 (p<0.05), so there was a significant increase in vitamin D levels after supplementing vitamin D3. In the group given vitamin D3 supplementation, it was found that TGF-β1 levels had decreased by 108.64. The reduction from the Wilcoxon statistical test results obtained p=0.001 (p<0.05), so there was a significant decrease after vitamin D3 supplementation. Based on the Spearman correlation test, there is a meaningful relationship between increased vitamin D levels with a reduction of TGF-β1 levels. The correlation coefficient is -0.753, which is harmful. The correlation coefficient is in a substantial range. Conclusion: We concluded that vitamin D3 could increase 25(OH)D plasma level and decrease TGF-β1 levels significantly in children with stage 1 until 3 of CKD.

Abstract

Introduction: In the past few years, there has been increased recognition that children, who have a history of traumatic incidences, can develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), just like in adults. Case: We presented a case of PTSD in a 3-year-old child hospitalized in the hospital for two days due to combustion (deep dermal burn injury) in his left hand, stomach, and both of his legs. The patient started to experience parasomnia such as nightmares, raves, difficulty to sleep and awakened from sleep (for one month from the beginning of wound treatment and debridement). The patient also had two re-experiencing symptoms: nightmare and emotional distress (anxiety, anger) after a traumatic stimulus. From his temperament scale and character assessment, there was dysregulation disorder. From the PEDSQL parent's reports, there was also decreased quality of life. Conclusion: First-line therapy of PTSD for the pediatric population is supportive psychotherapy with trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) that results in a remarkable improvement in child's psychiatric outcome.

Abstract

Background: Secretory immunoglobulin A, human ß-defensin2 and calprotectin play an essential role in digestive system defense. This study aims to assess fecal SIgA, hBD-2, and calprotectin in preterm neonates (as inflammation marker) with different feeding patterns. Method: This study was cohort designed included 39 preterm neonates, which were categorized into breast milk only, formula milk only, and combination. Fecal SIgA, hBD-2, and calprotectin measured by ELISA. Results: Fecal SIga in the breast milk only group were significantly higher (p<0.005). Fecal HBD-2 and calprotectin in the formula milk only group were highest but not significantly different (p=0.463) with the combination group. Conclusion: Fecal SIgA levels that consumed breast milk only were significantly higher. Fecal HBD-2 and calprotectin levels that consumed formula milk only were highest but not significantly different from the combination group.

Abstract

Introduction: House dust mite (HDM) allergy has been reported as an actual cause of asthma in children. Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) is a recommended treatment for HDM allergy patients. However, there were limited data about the characteristic of pediatric patients with HDM-SCIT, particularly in Indonesia. This study was aimed to evaluate the characteristic of pediatric patients with allergic asthma. Methods: Study participants were pediatric patients confirmed with HDM allergy from Skin Prick Test (SPT) in the pediatric allergy-immunology outpatient clinic in Saiful Anwar Hospital Malang, Indonesia. Patients who were treated with HDM-SCIT in the early build-up phase of treatment were included in this study. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were recorded. Peripheral blood samples were drawn to evaluate the total eosinophil count (TEC), total basophil count (TBC), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), specific IgE (sIgE) and total IgE (t-IgE) level. Clinical diagnosis of asthma was classified according to the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) criteria. The evaluation of asthma control was assessed by the Asthma Control Test (ACT) score. Results: Thirty-two patients were enrolled in this study, including 14 male and 18 female. The mean age of children was 6.92 ± 2.60 years old. There were 21 subjects with uncontrolled asthma and 11 subjects with partially controlled asthma. Demographic characteristics including age, sex, nutritional status and family history were not significantly different between uncontrolled and partially controlled asthma groups (p> 0.05). TEC, TBC, NLR, and tIgE were not different significantly among groups (p> 0.05). This study showed that the mean of sIgE serum level was higher in uncontrolled asthma compared to partially controlled asthma group (p= 0.022). Moreover, it was a negative significant correlation between sIgE serum level and ACT score (p= 0.002, r= -0.532). Conclusion: Higher sIgE levels were correlated with poor asthma control in HDM-SCIT patients.
