Background. The most common complication of surgical management for intussusception is anastomosis leakage. Warm normal saline application, especially on the bowel with a doubtful viability, is thought to cause vasodilation and subsequently reduce the resected bowel requirement. This research compared the effect of topical warm normal saline and papaverine on collagen grading and incidence of anastomosis leakage of the intussusception model in rats. Methods. Ileo-ileal intussusception was created on 21 Sprague-Dawley rats. Groups included control group, normal saline group, and papaverine group. Intussusceptions were then reduced and given topical warm normal saline or papaverine according to each group. Afterward, each bowel was resected, and an end-to-end anastomosis was created. After five days, laparotomy was performed to assess anastomosis leakages. Moreover, a collagen grading assessment was performed on the anastomosis. Results. The papaverine group had the highest collagen grade and no anastomosis leakage. There was no significant association between treatments and the incidence of anastomosis leakage (p=0.174), but treatments were significantly associated with collagen grade (p=0.014). Collagen grade was significantly associated with anastomosis leakage (p=0.01). Conclusion. Findings suggested that the topical application of papaverine is associated with an increase in collagen grading and higher collagen grade is associated with a decrease of anastomosis leakage. © 2021 Surgical Society of Northern Greece.

Platelet is one of the cells within the blood that have potential in regenerative therapy. Recently platelet-related products got special attention due to the abundance of growth factors and easy availability and processing. With the robust in cell-based therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been intensively studied for its potential to substitute the fetal bovine serum (FBS) as the supplement in cell culture. Our study aimed to investigate the use of human PRP in mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) culture and its related effect on stem cell biology. We searched in vitro studies that used human PRP as a supplementing factor on human MSCs culture. From the initial 172 studies, 14 studies fulfilled the selection criteria and were analysed. The results showed that the sources of MSCs were varied, including adipose tissue, bone marrow, and dental tissue. The PRP concentration showing the best effects was ranged from 10 to 20%. In addition, most of the studies demonstrated the superiority of PRP to FBS in promoting the proliferation and differentiation of MSCs in vitro. Therefore, PRP could be an alternative to FBS in supporting a xeno-free culture system. Studies are needed to reveal the mechanism of PRP in maintaining the physiology of MSCs. © 2021, Indian Association of Biomedical Scientists. All rights reserved. |

Background: Hair dermoscopy or trichoscopy is a tool used to find hair abnormalities more clearly. Morphologic feature of skin and hair abnormalities becomes more visible under this tool compared with naked eye. It helps to diagnose hair disorders faster and can be used for follow up treatment in patients. The purpose of this study is to compare superiority between clinical diagnosis alone and with addition of dermoscopy tool in the assessment of hair disease. Methods: Research was conducted in October 2018 in a boarding school in West Java, Indonesia. This was a cross-sectional descriptive study. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS Statistics 20.0. Data were collected from 127 subjects through anamnesis, general physical examination and dermatological findings, pull test, dermoscopy, and photographs of scalp and hair lesions. Results: The highest incidence of hair disorder in this study found by clinical examination and dermoscopy was pediculosis capitis, with a total of 86 subjects (67.7%). From the comparison between clinical examination and dermoscopy, we found that dermoscopy was superior for diagnosis. As much as 43 cases of hair disorders which were not detected on clinical examination screening were found by dermoscopy. Out of 127 children, there were 49 subjects with hair disorders found in clinical examination and 92 subjects found by dermoscopy. Conclusion: Dermoscopy as a non-invasive tool which plays an important role in determining the diagnosis of hair disorder. © 2021 Pakistan Association of Dermatologists. All rights reserved. |

BACKGROUND: arterial stiffness is a mortality predictor in hemodialysis patients, hemodialysis induces inflammation, marked by an intradialysis increase in the inflammatory marker pentraxin 3 (PTX3). Arterial stiffness in twice-weekly hemodialysis patients in Indonesia is lower than has been found in studies of thrice-weekly patients. This study therefore aims to determine the factors associated with arterial stiffness, focusing on the role of hemodialysis frequency and PTX3. METHODS: a cross-sectional study was conducted at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Fatmawati Hospital, and Medistra Hospital involving patients with twice- and thrice-weekly hemodialysis. Arterial stiffness was measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity after hemodialysis, and blood samples for PTX3 testing were taken before hemodialysis. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed using chi-squared tests and logistic regression. RESULTS: out of 122 subjects, 82 underwent twice-weekly hemodialysis. There was no difference in arterial stiffness between patients with twice- and thrice-weekly hemodialysis. In bivariate analysis, PTX3, cardiovascular disease, dialysis vintage had p values of <0.05, while the subsequent multivariate analysis showed that PTX3>2.3 ng/ml was associated with arterial stiffness (adjusted OR 5.18; 95% CI 1.07-24.91), as well as cardiovascular disease (adjusted OR 3.67; 95% CI 1.40-10.55), LDL (adjusted OR 3.10; 95% CI 1.04-9.24), and dialysis vintage (adjusted OR 2.72; 95% CI 1.001-7.38). CONCLUSION: predialysis PTX3 levels above 2.3 ng/ml were associated with arterial stiffness. There was no difference in arterial stiffness between patients with twice- and thrice-weekly hemodialysis. |

BACKGROUND: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), as a common cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is a chronic complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). It has been established that vitamin D deficiency is one of DKD risk factors, which may be related to vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms. This study aimed to analyze the association between VDR polymorphisms and DKD in Indonesian population, also risk factors that influence it. METHODS: a cross-sectional study was conducted in Type 2 DM patients who visited internal medicine outpatient clinic at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, from November 2014 until March 2015. Data collection includes characteristics of subjects and laboratory examination, including BsmI polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor gene. Patients with acute and severe disease were excluded from the study. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were done. RESULTS: of 93 DM subjects, 42 (45.2%) subjects were without DKD and 51 (54.8%) subjects had DKD. Most of the subjects had the Bb genotype (89.2%), with no subject having the BB genotype. The proportions of the B and b alleles were 44.6% and 55.4%, respectively. There is no association between BsmI polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor gene and DKD (OR = 1.243; CI 95% 0.334-4.621; p value = 0.751). CONCLUSION: the profile of BsmI polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor gene in the Indonesian population were genotypes Bb (89.2%) and bb (10.8%). There was no association between BsmI polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor gene and DKD. Duration of DM more than five years influenced the association between those variables. |

Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) which is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been a problem worldwide, particularly due to the high rate of transmission and wide range of clinical manifestations. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multiorgan failure are the most common events observed in severe cases and can be fatal. Cytokine storm syndrome emerges as one of the possibilities for the development of ARDS and multiorgan failure in severe cases of COVID-19. This case report describes a case of a 53-year-old male patient who has been diagnosed with COVID-19. Further evaluation in this patient showed that there was a marked increase in IL-6 level in blood accompanied with hyperferritinemia, which was in accordance with the characteristic of cytokine storm syndrome. Patient was treated with tocilizumab, a monoclonal antibody and is an antagonist to IL-6 receptor. The binding between tocilizumab and IL-6 receptors effectively inhibit and manage cytokine storm syndrome. Although this case report reported the efficacy of tocilizumab in managing cytokine storm syndrome, tocilizumab has several adverse effects requiring close monitoring. Further clinical randomized control trial is required to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab administration in participants with various clinical characteristics and greater number of subjects. |

Since December 2019, COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection has been spread rapidly in the world. Beside acute respiratory distress syndrome found in acute phase of infection, there is also pulmonary fibrosis as a chronic complication due to COVID-19. With the global pandemic of COVID-19, more and more autopsy and puncture histopathological results have been published.Until now there is no specific therapy to handle post-inflammatory pulmonary fibrosis due to COVID-19 infection. Several studies are ongoing to determine an effective treatment for this chronic complication. While ARDS appears to be the main cause of pulmonary fibrosis in COVID-19, the pathogenesis of ARDS caused by SARS-CoV-2 is different from the typical ARDS. Some therapies may be considered for reducing the fibrosis process in lung after COVI-19 infection namely pirfenidone, nintedanib and mesenchymal stem cells. Many patients are still recovering spontaneously in the first six weeks after acute COVID-19 infection and do not generally require fast-track entry into a pulmonary rehabilitation programme. However, those who have significantly persistent respiratory illness may need to be supported by pulmonary rehabilitation. Multidisciplinary intervention based on personalized evaluation and treatment which includes exercise training, education and behavioral modification can be given to improve the physical and psychological condition of patients with post-COVID pulmonary fibrosis. |
