Jacq. contains saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids, and tannins that may exhibit significant protection of kidney cells from free radicals. In present study, Swietenia mahagoni was evaluated for its nephroprotector effect on paracetamol-induced kidney cells histological damage in mice (Mus musculus).   Methods: This research used experimental laboratory studies with post test only controlled group design. Samples were 28 male Swiss webster mice (2-3 months old) weighing + 20 g and divided into 4 groups, 7 mice each group. Sampling technique in this research was incidental sampling. The negative control group (KK (-)) and the positive control group (KK (+)) of mice were administered aquadest for 14 days. The first treatment group (KP1) and the second group treatment (KP2) of mice were administered mahagony seed extract with the dose of 11,2 mg/20 g and 22,4 mg/20 g body weight of mice for 14 days, respectively. Paracetamol was administered to groups of KK (+), KP1, dan KP2 on the 12th, 13th, and 14th day. On day-15th, mice were sacrificed and their kidneys were taken and stained with hematoxilin eosin (HE) for histological study. The kidney cells histological features were assessed based on quantifying of pyknosis, karyorrhexis, and karyolysis. Data were analyzed with the One-Way ANOVA test (α = 0.05) and Post Hoc Multiple Comparisons LSD test (α = 0.05). Results: The mean of kidney cells histological damage in mice for KK (-), KK (+), KP1 and KP2 were 9.57 + 0.701; 28.93 + 1.698; 9.28 + 0.873 and 27.79 + 1.651, respectively. Result of statistic analysis showed that there were significant differences of kidney cells damage score between KK (-) – KK (+), KK (-) – KP2, KK (+) – KP1, KP1 – KP2, and non significant differences between KK (-) – KP1 and KK (+) – KP2. Conclusions: Swietenia mahagoni (L.) Jacq. seed extract showed nephroprotector effect against paracetamol-induced kidney cells histological damage in mice.

Abstract

Nosocomial infection still becomes a global health problem. An attempt to reduce the risk of nosocomial infections in the ICU (intensive care unit) room of RSUD Dr. Moewardi, 4% carbol has been used routinely in disinfection. This study was to know the effectiveness of 4% carbol disinfectant in West Isolation Room of ICU in RSUD Dr. Moewardi. This study was an analytical observational research with a cross sectional approach. The samples collected from ICU resulted from three groups. Each group was 15 samples, collected from swabbing the floor and the wall (grown on agar), and from the air (grown on blood agar). For each group, 5 samples were taken at 6 am (1 hour before disinfection), at 9 am (2 hours after disinfection) and at 12 pm (5 hours after disinfection). The data were analyzed using Wilcoxon experiment Based on the standard of germs limit on wall, floor (5-10 colony/cm2) and air (≤200 cfu/m3) at intensive care unit, the result from swabbing the wall and air samples showed that the disinfection was 100% effective. Whereas, the result from swabbing the floor was only 13.33% effective. Between germs number from swabbing the wall collected at 6 am and 9 am represented a significant reduction (p = 0.042). On the other hand, there was no significant reduction of germ number between which were collected at 6 am and 12 pm (p = 0.068) as well as between 9 am and 12 pm (p = 1.000). In addition, there was also no significant reduction of germs number resulting from swabbing the  floor between collected at 6 am and 9 am (p = 0.080); 6 am and 12 pm (p = 0.080); and 9 am and 12 pm (p = 0.068). Furthermore, the number of air germs between collected at 6 am and 9 am represented a significant reduction (p = 0.043). But, there was no significant reduction between collected at 6 am and 12 pm (p = 0.225), as well as  at 9 am and 12 pm (p = 0.715). Disinfection with 4% carbol in west isolation room of ICU RSUD Dr. Moewardi showed  effectively controlling germs number on the wall and the air, but it was not effectively controlling on the floor.

Abstract

Background: Dialyzer is a critical medical equipment having high risk of microorganism contamination. Because of economical reason, dialyzer reuse is performed as first choice in Indonesia. The making of dialyzer reuse starts from rinsing, priming test and sterilization itself. Sterilization method of dialyzer that has been carried out in Rumah Sakit Dr. Moewardi is manual and automatic sterilization. Method: This was an observational study using cross sectional design. Samples taken by consecutive sampling technique were collected from the last rinsing of NaCl right before the dialyzer was used. This NaCl samples were collected from dialyzer which were sterilized manually and automatically, each, 15 samples. The difference of posistive growth of bacteria cultures of both methods was analyzed by Chi square test, while the difference of the number of colony forming unit was analyzed by independent T test. Result: Fifteen samples of the last rinsing of NaCl from dialyzer sterilized manually showed there were 10 samples positive contaminated and 5 samples negative. While from dialyzer sterilized automatically showed there were 8 samples positive contaminated and 7 samples negative. All positive samples were contaminated by positive Gram bacteria. The statistical analyses showed no significant difference of both based on quality (p = 0.456) and quantity (p = 156). Conclusion: There was bacterial contamination as many as 10 samples (66.6%) of dialyzer which was sterilized manually and 8 samples (53.3%) of dialyzer which was sterilized automatically. There was no significant difference statistically on the effectiveness between manual and automatic sterilization. Keywords: dialyzer reuse, manual sterilization, automatic sterilization.

Abstract

Background: Fatigue is a condition characterized by a decrease in work efficiency and endurance. BCAA capsule contains of three kinds of essential amino acids, those were leucine 2275 mg, isoleucine 1137.5 mg, and valine 1137.5 mg, each of which plays an important role in protein synthesis and energy system for activity. This study aimed to examine the effect of supplement administration of BCAA to reduce fatigue levels in medical students of Sebelas Maret University (UNS). Methods: This was an experimental research with pretest-posttest group design. It was conducted at Faculty of Medicine UNS on December 13th, 2012. Subjects (n=40) were randomly selected from list of current medical students at preclinical level. Subjects who had been fasting for eight hours, then, were randomly arranged into two groups: (1) control group whose fatigue levels were measured twice in resting condition at10-minute interval, and (2) treatment group whose fatigue levels were measured before and 10 minutes after BCAA administration. Fatigue referred to decreasing concentration determined by reaction time to light stimuli. Pretest-postest fatigue levels for each group were analyzed using paired sample t-tests, whereas posttest fatigue levels between the two groups were analyzed using independent sample t-test. Data analysis were performed using SPSS 17.0 for Windows. Results: Mean fatigue levels of control group at first and second measurement, each, were 270.1±15.3 and 255.5±10.9 millisecond. While mean fatigue levels of treatment group at pretest and after BCAA administration were 268.9 ± 14.8 and 211.7±38.8 millisecond, consecutively. Analysis of paired sample t test of  pretest-postest fatique levels in both groups, each,  showed significant difference (p = 0.001 for control group and p < 0.001 for treatment group), while analysis of independent t test of posttest fatigue levels between the two groups showed that the posttest fatigue levels between the two groups also differed significantly (p <0.001). Conclusions: BCAA administration significantly reduced fatigue levels in medical students of UNS. Fatigue levels were significantly shorter in subjects administered BCAA supplement than those of control group who did not take BCAA supplement. Keywords: BCAA suplement, fatigue

Abstract

Background: One problem in HIV treatment is HBV/HCV co-infection due to their similarity in the transmission routes. HBV/HCV co-infection is believed increasing the risk of hepatotoxicity, hepatocellular carcinoma, steatosis, fibrosis, and also rapidly lead to AIDS in the HIV patients. The purpose of this study was to find out the status of HBV/HCV co-infection among HIV patients in Surakarta. Methods: In November-December 2011 all of HIV patients (n=65) visited the Voluntary Counseling and Testing in Moewardi General Hospital Surakarta were involved in the study. Clinical data and blood samples were retrieved from all patients. Serological assays to detect the presentation of HBsAg and anti-HCV were performed in all samples. Results: There were 17% (11/65) HIV patients infected with the hepatitis viruses. Six point two percent (4/65) was HBsAg+, 10.8% (7/65) was anti-HCV+, and 0% with triple infection. There were 57.1% (4/7) females and 42.8% (3/7) males detected with anti-HCV+. Males and females, each was found 50% (2/4) in HBsAg+. Ninety one percent (10/11)HIV patients with both HBV or HCV co-infection were under 50 years old .None of routine blood test was significant with HBsAg+ or anti-HCV+. Conclusions: Several HIV patients had co-infection with Hepatitis B Virus and Hepatitis C Virus, and most of them were females under 30 years. HIV patients should be checked the status of HBV and HCV co-infection in order to have a better therapeutic management. Keywords: HIV co-infection, Hepatitis B Virus, Hepatitis C Virus
