Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: Adiponectin receptors (AdipoR) regulates metabolism and has anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing effects. We aimed to determine the relationships between AdipoR with parameters of glucose homeostasis (FPG, insulin, and HOMA-IR), and insulin sensitivity (PPAR-γ and p38MAPK) in T2DM rats treated with puguntano (Curanga felterrae Lour.) leaf extract. Methods: T2DM was induced in Wistar rats aged 8–10 weeks and weighing 180–200 g by high-fat diet (HFD) feeding and low-dose streptozotocin (30mg/kg.bw) administration. The rats were then allocated randomly to a treatment group and a control group (n=24 each). The treatment group was orally administered puguntano leaf extract (200 mg/kg.bb) once daily for 10 days. Subsequently, FPG and plasma insulin were measured, and HOMA-IR was calculated. Results: There was significantly difference between treatment group and control group on AdipoR and parameter of glucose homeostasis (FPG, Insulin, HOMA-IR) and insulin sensitivity (PPAR-γ, p38MAPK (all, p<0.01). In both groups, there were no significantly correlations between of AdipoR with all parameter of glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity except PPAR-ϒ (p <0.003) across the entire cohort of rats. Conclusion: Our data suggest that puguntano could improve glucose homeostasis, insulin sensitivity and molecular mediators of insulin sensitivity. There were no significantly correlated between improvement of AdipoR with glucose homeostasis and molecular mediators of insulin sensitivity in T2DM.

Abstract

Antiretroviral administration affects weight gain and inflammation in HIV patients. The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship of body mass index with inflamation parameters in HIV patients who ARV therapy. In 40 HIV patients (stage III-IV)   treated with ARV (FDC 87%, Durival Efaviren 7.5%, Tenofovir, Huviral, Aluvia 2.5%, and Tenofovir, Huviral, Neviral 2.5%) conducted observational analytics with crosssectional design. CD4 examination was carried out flowcytometrically, BMI measured by formula weight (kg) divided by height squared (m2), waist circumference (WC) measured by ribbon between costae arcus and anterior superior iliac spine, albumin measurement with Brom Cresol Green (BCG) method. There is a significant correlation between BMI with WC and CD4 (r=0.61, p<0.001 and r=0.38, p<0.001, respectively). There is no correlation between BMI and duration of ARV treatment, albumin and leptin. ARV treatment in HIV patients will affect weight and inflammatory markers.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Background: Postpartum thyroiditis (PPT) is a thyroid dysfunctionn syndrome which is temporary or permanent that occurs 1 year after giving birth or abortion. The occurrence of postpartum thyroiditis is 5 – 10% of postpartum women in the world. It is caused by an inflammation of the thyroid gland which leads to a destruction of the thyroid follicle and proteolysis of thyroglobulin. Case presentation: A woman, 31 years old, was admitted to the hospital complaining an enlargement on her neck. The patient said her the enlargement keeps getting larger and she also complained a feeling of something stuck in the throat. The patient also complained a hoarse voice. The patient has just given birth of her second child 5 months ago. From a hematologic examination, radiologic, and blood culture, the patient was diagnosed with Postpartum Thyroiditis. The patient was given Euthyrox therapy and will undergo repeated evaluation after 1 months of the therapy. Conclusion: We reported a case of Postpartum Thyroiditis that was treated comprehensively, and showed a good prognosis.

Abstract

Background: Acromegaly is an uncommon clinical disorder driven by high serum levels of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Over 99% of patients with acromegaly harbor a GH emitting pituitary adenoma. Pituitary tumors represent about 15% of essential intracranial neoplasms. Case presentation: A 38 years old woman, was referred to the H. Adam Malik central public hospital on December 15th, 2020, with chief complaints of enlarged fingers and toes. The patient complained that the patient's fingers and toes were getting bigger in the past 2 years. The brain MRI was performed showed intrasella spherical intensity lesions measuring ± 2.3x1.5x2 cm with the impression of macroadenoma. The patient later diagnosed with acromegaly due to pituitary macroadenoma. Therefore the patient was treated with administration of sandostatin injection, novorapid 6-6-6 IU SC, then 0-0-12 IU SC, 3x1 salt capsules. The patient is also consulted to the neurosurgery department for surgical management plans and a consulted to the Ophthalmology Department. Conclusion: We report an instance of acromegaly suspected because of pituitary macroadenoma in a patient with unmistakable clinical highlights, with comprehensive management.

Abstract

Background: Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, psychological issues, some musculoskeletal conditions, and some cancers. The aim of the study to evaluate the correlation between BMI and risk factor of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Method: The research was conducted cross-sectionally in NAFLD patients who were treated at RSUP H Adam Malik Medan and got approval from the Ethics Commission for Health Research. Sample research is NAFLD patients who are taken in consecutive sampling that meets the criteria of inclusion and exclusion.  Body mass index (BMI) is obtained by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by their height in square meters, define obesity (OB) if BMI  >  25,  overweight  (OW) BMI  23-24.9, and normoweight (NW) BMI 18.5-22.9. Diagnose NAFLD by performing ultrasound examination, resistin and adiponectin examination with ELISA (Sandwich Immunoassay), liver function according to IFCC (International Federation of Clinical Chemistry), and albumin checked by BCG method. Result: There were 67 patients (NM=32, OW=15, OB=20) NAFLD with an average age of 42.1± 11.9 years,  Comparison of NAFLD risk factors in normoweight, overweight, and obesity, showing very significant results (all p<0.001). There is a very significant correlation between BMI and all NAFLD risk factors (all p<0.001). Conclusion: There are very significant correlates between BMI and all inflammatory factors of NAFLD.
