Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness that rises significantly each year  along with the increasing diabetic population. It is estimated that 1 out of 3 people with diabetes will suffer from DR and 1 in 10 of them will be threatened with blindness. The main problem on DR management is the delay in diagnosis since most patients in the early stages do not experience visual impairment.Methods: Descriptive research was conducted over three months on 175 patients diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) within the Internal Medicine Clinic at Hasanuddin University Hospital. Self-administered questionnaires were used to assess knowledge of DR amongst the diabetic patients.Results: The level of DR knowledge among type 2 DM was split into three categories. The level of knowledge on DM complication was within the good category for 109 patients (61.6%), whilst the level of knowledge on DR screening was within the the sufficient category for 150 patients (84.7%) and knowledge on DR management was within the good category for 98 patients (55.4%). Although the level of knowledge was categorized good for the majority of respondents, the remaining 45 (25.4%) respondents had never done DR screening, and most patients (57.1%) believed that DM patients tend not to screen due to the lack of knowledge about DR.Conclusion: In general, patients with type 2 DM have a good level of knowledge about diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract

Introduction : Epicardial fat is visceral fat that plays a role in cardiovascular disease. Dyslipidemia non-diabetes mellitus can be found in both obese and non-obese patients. Measurement of waist circumference and BMI can assess central and peripheral obesity. The study aims to finding out the correlation between epicardial fat thickness based on MSCT scan Thorax with waist circumference and BMI on dyslipidemia non-diabetes mellitus subject. Method: There were 57 research samples of 28 to 70 years old who had dysfunction lipid profile. The most samples were found in the age group of 45-64 years with epicardial fat ranges from 2.80 to 10.80 mm and mean of 6.37 mm. Data were analysed by Mann-Whitney and Spearman correlation test. Result: There was a significant correlation between waist circumference and epicardial fat (r = 0.286, p = 0,031). There was no difference in mean of epicardial fat thickness by sex. There was no correlation between sex, and BMI with epicardial fat. Conclusion: There is a correlation between waist circumference and epicardial fat that may be affected by several factors in patients with dyslipidemia non-diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Introduction: VO2 max is the maximum oxygen amount of  that can be consumed during intense physical activity until eventually fatigue occurs. A person with a good  level of VO2 max means having good physical fitness as well. Physical fitness gives the ability to a person to do daily productive work in the absence of excessive fatigue. The low one cardiorespiratory fitness may incrase the risk of death from heart disease and hypertension. Giving freeletic exercise is one of the techniques used to improve cardiorespiratory fitness or VO2 max. Methods: This research is Pre-experimental research with one group pre-post test design. The sample of the study amounted to 20 people and freeletic exercise was given 12 times. The measuring tool used is Multistage Test of Fitness / Beep Test to know the level VO2 max  of sample  before and after freeletic sporting practice. Results: The results of this study indicate that 17 respondents experienced a significant increase in VO2 max and 3 other respondents did not experience improvement by giving 12 times freeletic sports exercise. Conclusion: Based on Paired T test to know whether or not there is influence, it can be concluded that there is influence of giving freeletic sport to max VO2 level on freeletic community member after given 12 times (p< 0,001, p<0,05) freeletic sport practice.

Abstract

Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is still a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. IUGR incidence ranged from 4.4 to 6.44% of pregnant women. Human Leukocyte Antigen - E and NK cells are thought to play an important role towards the process of IUGR.Objective: To determine aetiopathogenesis HLA-E expression and NK Cell in IUGR.Methods: An analytical observational study conducted through a cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted on March-October 2015 at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta and at of Laboratory of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta. Subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria consisted of 20 patients with IUGR and 20 normal pregnant patient. The researcher examined HLA-E Expression and NK cells in trophoblast using immunohistochemical method and statistical analysis using t test.Results: The average HLA-E expression in the trophoblast in IUGR group 17.80 ± 5.55, compared with normal pregnancy 66.23 ± 19.83, p value = 0.0001 (p <0.05). The average expression of NK cells in trophoblast in IUGR group 137.71 ± 28.09 compared with normal pregnancy 31.75 ± 14.77, p value = 0.0001 (p <0.05).Conclusion: HLA-E expression in normal pregnancy trophoblast is higher than pregnancies with IUGR. Expression of NK cells in pregnancy with IUGR is higher compared with normal pregnancy.

Abstract

Anemia saat hamil berefek buruk bagi ibu maupun janin, karena dapat mengurangi suplai oksigen pada metabolisme ibu akibat kekurangan kadar hemoglobin untuk mengikat oksigen, dan peran hemoglobin sebagai pengikat nitric oxide dapat menyebabkan vasokontriksi dan mempengaruhi pengiriman oksigen. Tujuannya untuk mengetahui perbedaan kadar nitric oxide pada ibu hamil trimester 1 dengan anemia dan tidak anemia. Desain penelitian cross sectional study dengan masing-masing 35 ibu hamil trimester 1 yang anemia dan tidak anemia dengan teknik consecutive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata kadar nitric oxide pada ibu hamil trimester 1 yang anemia lebih tinggi (128,8μmol/L) dibandingkan yang tidak anemia (89,1μmol/L) nilai p=0,008. Ibu hamil trimester 1 yang anemia kemungkinan 3,692 kali memiliki resiko mengalami peningkatan kadar nitric oxide dibandingkan yang tidak anemia dengan cut off point 92,86μmol/L. Disimpulkan, kadar nitric oxide lebih tinggi pada ibu hamil trimester 1 yang anemia dan memiliki resiko terjadi peningkatan kadar nitric oxide pada ibu hamil trimester 1 dengan anemia sebesar 3,962 kali.

Abstract

Strategies for schizophrenic treatment still have been developed in order to increase their effectively, based on latest findings in the etio-pathology. Coincidence of hyperbilirubinemia, especially related to Gilbert’s Syndrome (GS), and schizophrenia/other psychiatric disorders, was reported in several studies although the pattern of this alteration is still controversial.  Bilirubin could induce microglia to release pro-inflammatory cytokine that cause neuroinflammation, one of hypothetic etio-pathogenesis has been the most extensively studied recently. However, no data have been presented about this phenomenon in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to investigate plasma bilirubin concentration in psychotic spectrum.This study is cross sectional design that we examined both the total bilirubin and direct bilirubin of every psychotic patient admitted for the first time to Rumah Sakit Khusus Daerah (RSKD) Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan over a period of July—December 2012, by using health people as control. Diagnostic determination was set based on International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 10. Patients suffering from any disease such as anemia (decreased hemoglobin), liver diseases (elevated liver enzymes), or substance abuse were excluded.            From 73 samples, we found that plasma UCB level was significantly elevated, higher in psychotic patients, especially schizophrenic group, than in the control. Total bilirubin rate was slightly increased in schizophrenic group compare to the others and two samples in this group showed hyperbilirubinemia. Further investigations are needed to ensure that whether the elevated UCB was related to GS and whether this condition has inflammatory effect.
