Abstract

Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus or SLE is a chronic autoimmune disease with varied clinical manifestations. SLE prevalence in Indonesia is being dominated with female, especially in their productive age. Certain etiology of SLE is still unknown until now, but genetic factors and immune system are being estimated as the primary factors. The first line therapy of SLE is cyclophosphamide. Unfortunately if being consumed more than six months, cyclophosphamide has several side effects, like bone marrow depression, infections, alopecia, hemorrhagic cystitis, and infertility. Because of that side effects, herbal medicine is being developed nowday. One of them is Andrographis paniculata Ness. leaf. The aim of this study was quantitative cytotoxic test for Andrographis paniculata Ness. leaf on T lymphocyte culture of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Methods: This study was anexperimental study. Subjects in this study were patients with SLE who appropriated SLE’s criterias and normal people without allergy and autoimmune diseases’s history. This study was done by doing T lymphocyte culture from intravenous’s blood sample and observing cell’s absorbance with ELISA reader. Collected data were used for determining live cell’s percentage (IC50) and analyzed with Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) 11.00 for Windows. Mean resistance data was tested by linear regression test. Results:The result showed that IC50 dose of Andrographis paniculata Ness. leaf extract treatment on SLE samples was smaller than the normal people. In Andrographis paniculata Ness. leaf’s extract treatment, IC50 in SLE = 0.00074 and in normal people = 0.19584. Conclusion: Andrographis paniculata Ness.leaf extract had stronger cytotoxic effect on T lymphocyte culture of patients with SLE than the normal people.

Abstract

Background: HBV replicates its DNA genome through reverse transcription from RNA intermediate. It is vulnerable to a high number of mutations during such reverse transcription which are frequently found in core promoter and precore/core regions. This study was aimed to identify genetic variation of HBV core promoter and  precore/core regions of 09IDSKAB-3 isolate. Methods: DNA extraction was performed on 09IDSKAB-3 blood sample that was taken from Man Sex with Man Community. Core promoter and precore/core regions were determined by PCR using KL-28 and KL-6 primers and direct sequencing of the corresponding region. Molecular analysis was performed using MEGA 4.0. Results: Based on BLAST result, 09IDSKAB-3 HBV isolate had the highest similarity to isolate AP011085 from DKI Jakarta. Genetic variations A1726C in core promoter, and T1860C, C1877T, G1957C in precore/core region were found in 09IDSKAB-3 isolate. Conclusions: 09IDSKAB-3 HBV isolate was classified into genotype B and subgenotype B3 based on core promoter and precore/core region. The genetic variations found in this isolate may have influence to the replication efficiency and HBeAg/HBcAg production, therefore need further study.
