Authors: Rubaratuka Juliana I. , Mrema Godwill D. , Lyimo Thomas J.
Published: May 2024

Microbial food quality serves to indicate health risks associated with the consumption of contaminated foods. This study aimed to determine the microbial quality of fresh juices and the level of awareness and perception of the consumers and juice vendors at Ilala Ward, Dar es Salaam. Fresh samples of sugarcane, mango and mixed fruit juices were collected from four different sampling stations and analysed using standard methods for Total Coliform (TC), Faecal Coliform (FC) and Total Viable Count (TVC). The level of awareness and perception of 60 juice vendors and 60 consumers were also assessed by using questionnaires. The results showed that TC numbers ranged from the lowest mean of 6.100±4.180x106 to 7.483±3.650x107 MPN/ml, FC ranged from 2.566±0.989x106 to 2.017±1.687x107 MPN/ml while TVC ranged from 5.046±1.032x109 to 5.871±0.835x109 CFU/ml of fresh juices. The level of TC, FC and TVC was beyond the recommended international and Tanzanian standards showing that fresh juices posed a high risk for consumers. On the other hand, 42% of the juice consumers had low awareness of microbial contamination of fresh juices, which leads to high health risks. It is recommended that street juice vendors should adopt proper hygiene measures and undergo appropriate training on microbial quality, food safety and sanitation.

Authors: Amalia Martina , Ningsih Cut Ati , Meydhiono Widianto
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Gingival enlargement is a condition that we often encounter in the oral cavity. This condition can be caused by plaque accumulation, systemic disorders, and side effects of some drugs as well as genetic factors. Gingival enlargement due to the accumulation of bacterial plaque generally shows signs and symptoms of inflammation which can be a major risk factor for periodontitis. This case report aims to describe two cases of plaque-induced gingival enlargement, one of which was accompanied by the presence of granulomatous epulis.
Case: The first case was a 23-year-old woman complaining that her gums often bleed when brushing her teeth since 1 year ago. Intra oral examination can see swelling of the gingiva in the anterior area of RA and RB. The second case is a 40-year-old woman with complaints of swelling of the lower right back gum since 2 years ago. An enlargement of the gingiva in the anterior area is seen accompanied by granulomatous epulis with fibrous consistency in the posterior area of RB.
Treatment: In the first case, non-surgical treatment was carried out and continued with regular visits every 3 months. In the second case, non-surgical and surgical procedures were performed. Treatment begins with tooth root extraction and scaling and root planning. Furthermore, gingivectomy surgery was performed to excise the enlarged gingiva. 
Discussions: The treatment results look good, where it can be seen that the etiological factor can be ruled out. After the surgical treatment, the healing went well, marked by no inflammation around it.   
Conclusion: Gingival enlargement can affect aesthetics and interfere with the patient's masticatory function. Identification of the etiological factors is necessary for an appropriate treatment plan.

Authors: Vidya Nursolihati , Hafiyyah Osa Amila
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure to increase the height of the clinical crown for aesthetic and restorative purposes, or combination. The indications include treatment of subgingival caries and altered passive eruption. Functional crown lengthening for restorative purposes in the esthetic zone should consider the concept of biologic width and the ideal proportion of the dentogingival complex.
Case: A 39-year-old male patient was referred from the Department of Conservative Dentistry, RSGM UGM Prof. Soedomo to expose the maxillary anterior teeth crowns for full crown and veneer restorations. Clinical examination showed 11, 12, and 12 post root canal treatment with 3-4 mm remaining crowns. Teeth 13, 21, 22, and 23 appear short, excessive gingival display of 3 mm, with a diagnosis of altered passive eruption type 1B.
Treatment: Functional crown lengthening was performed by gingivectomy followed by flap elevation, ostectomy, and osteoplasty. A fenestration was found at the apical of 22 and treated with regenerative procedure. Full crowns and veneers insertion was done 3 months after surgery. Crown lengthening as a pre-restorative procedure is a multidisciplinary treatment that considers the need for restoration by re-establishing the biologic width, to prevent inflammation and bone loss. In addition, adequate post- surgical tissue healing time prior to restoration is necessary to avoid gingival margin rebound and to assure long-term success of the restoration.
Conclusionn : Functional crown lengthening as a pre-restorative procedure in the esthetic zone can gives satisfactory and stable results, with careful examination and correct surgical procedure.

Results: The Kruskall-Wallis test showed that based on the solvent type treatment group, a significant value of  0.003 (<0.05) was obtained, meaning that there was an influence of the type of solvent on the amount of yield from Moringa oleifera maceration.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the type of solvent has a significant effect on the amount of yield resulting from Moringa maceration.
THE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF PROPOLIS ON OSTEOBLAST DIFFERENTIATION: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Wijaya Jessy , Sari Rezmelia , Suryono
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Optimal bone regeneration is contingent upon the activities of osteoblasts, which are modulated by signalling molecules. Propolis, an abundantly beneficial natural substance, has the potential to induce the release of signalling molecules.
Review: Four essential elements required for tissue regeneration via tissue engineering: scaffolds, signalling molecules, stem cells, and vascularization. Subsequently, osteoblast differentiation and activity are enhanced by signalling molecules induced by propolis. Propolis contains active ingredients that influence every stage of osteoblast differentiation. Propolis-induced increases in the release of signalling molecules (BMP, FGF, TGF) and the transcription factor RUNX2 stimulate the expression of diverse osteoblastogenic markers at each stage of differentiation: type I alpha 1 collagen during proliferation, alkaline phosphatase during maturation, and osteocalcin during mineralization.
Conclusion: Propolis has the capacity to promote bone regeneration through its involvement in all phases of osteoblast differentiation (inducing the release of signalling molecules, increasing the transcription factor, and increasing the expression of osteoblastogenic markers). Additional research is required to determine how propolis influences the equilibrium between osteoblast and osteoclast activities in order to maintain optimal bone homeostasis and remodelling. The prolonged duration of bone regeneration necessitates the use of a carrier for propolis to remain on bone defects for an extended period of time.

Authors: Ilham Ainun Isnaeni , El Daniel Tetan , Oktawati Sri
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Chronic periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease induced by microbes beginning with inflammation of the gingiva and progressing to progressive damage to the tooth supporting structures. Various approaches have been made to treat chronic periodontitis, one of which is regenerative periodontal treatment using bone grafts and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF).
History and Clinical Findings: A 32-year-old man came to the Periodontology Department of the Dental and Oral Education Hospital with chief complaints mobility of upper and lower teeth. Clinical examination showed that patient did not have a history of systemic diseases and the patient did not smoke. Intraoral examination showed that the maxillary front teeth grade 1 mobility and the average pocket depth in the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth was 5 mm.
Case Management: Case management includes initial therapy followed by surgical treatment which includes open flap, placement of bone graft and PRF, followed by frenectomy, then suturing and application of a periodontal pack. At 1 month after treatment, the surgical flap phase was continued for the mandibular anterior teeth using a combination of bone graft and membrane placement.
Discussion: Bone graft and PRF are used to regenerate furcation defects and their ability to regenerate hard and soft tissue is due to the release of various growth factors. Conclusion: Regenerative surgical treatment in chronic periodontitis patients provides effective results in alveolar bone regeneration and decrease pocket depth.

Published: May 2024

Introduction : Metronidazole is one of the antimicrobial and antimicrobial that has been  widely used as antibacterial and antiprotozoal agent for treatment. Metronidazole is antimicrobial have been used as an adjuvant to mechanical plaque removal. Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that develops from dental plaque that affects periodontal supporting tissues. Many chemical agents that have been evaluated to determine their effect on plaque, gingivitis and periodontitis, one of which is metronidazole, has been successfully introduced and studied extensively. This literature review explains effectiveness of metronidazole gels in the management of periodontal disease.
Review : Metronidazole (MTZ) is frequently used in the treatment for periodontal diseases since it can be against several Gram-negative anaerobic rods, the pathogenesis of periodontitis. It can be administered via oral and topical routes. However, the systemic adverse effects may in the oral cavity if used peroral. Hence, topical administration is preferable. The bacterial reservoirs not eliminated by conventional periodontal therapy can be further suppressed with the use of chemotherapeutic agents. Localized antimicrobial therapy, in particular, has evoked growing interest because of the site‑specific nature of periodontal infections, the higher concentration of anti‑microbial agent subgingivally and reduced side‑effects of systemic antibiotic use. Among the various locally delivered chemotherapeutic agents metronidazole, a has bactericidal action against anaerobes, such as Prevotela intermedia, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Fusobacterium species and spirochetes like Treponema denticola, Treponema vincentii, which are generally believed to be the main pathogens associated with periodontitis.
Conclusion : Treatment of periodontal pockets with metronidazole gel in addition to scaling and root planning, provides a significant increase in reducing pocket depth and microbial count and effective in the treatment of periodontal disease.

Authors: Wijayanti Dharmmesti Anindita , Herawati Dahlia , Karina Vincensia Maria , Murdiastuti Kwartarini
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Hydrogels are considered a promising scaffold biomaterial for regenerative periodontal treatment. The development of collagen and chitosan based hydrogels can improve the final characteristics of the hydrogel.
Review: Collagen and chitosan are the two main materials used to design scaffolds for tissue engineering. Collagen is a material that is often used to develop hydrogels because it has the advantage of high biocompatibility. In the biomedical field, collagen is often used as a drug delivery system. Collagen has weak mechanical strength so other biomaterials are needed for its use. Chitosan material has high biocompatibility and a slow degradation rate.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi pengarusutamaan gender dalam sistem pendidikan di Desa Purnajaya, Kecamatan Indralaya Utara. Dalam konteks ini, pengarusutamaan gender mengacu pada upaya untuk memastikan bahwa baik laki-laki maupun perempuan memiliki kesempatan yang sama dalam hal akses, partisipasi, dan manfaat dari pendidikan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif analisis dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan berbagai pihak terkait, seperti guru, siswa, orang tua, dan pengambil keputusan di tingkat lokal, serta observasi langsung di lapangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun upaya telah dilakukan untuk menerapkan pengarusutamaan gender dalam sistem pendidikan di Desa Purnajaya, masih terdapat beberapa tantangan yang dihadapi. Salah satunya adalah stereotip gender yang masih kuat di masyarakat, yang dapat memengaruhi persepsi dan pengalaman pendidikan siswa. Selain itu, terdapat kurangnya kesadaran akan pentingnya kesetaraan gender di kalangan stakeholder pendidikan. Rekomendasi untuk meningkatkan implementasi pengarusutamaan gender meliputi peningkatan pelatihan dan kesadaran bagi para pendidik dan komunitas lokal tentang isu-isu gender, serta integrasi materi yang mempromosikan kesetaraan gender dalam kurikulum pendidikan. Selain itu, perlu adanya kebijakan yang mendukung pemberdayaan perempuan dalam pendidikan, seperti peningkatan aksesibilitas dan kualitas pendidikan bagi perempuan di Desa Purnajaya. Dengan demikian, diharapkan dapat tercipta lingkungan pendidikan yang inklusif dan merata bagi semua anak, tanpa memandang jenis kelamin.

Kajian tinjauan ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti sama ada terdapat hubungan antara penguasaan teknologi dalam pengajaran Bahasa Melayu secara dalam talian terhadap aspek kemahiran mendengar dan bertutur. Kaedah penggunaan teknologi dalam pendidikan diperkenalkan sejak pandemik Covid-19 berleluasa di negara Malaysia. Pelbagai cara telah dijalankan, namun begitu, masih tiada perincian yang jelas tentang cara pelaksanaan latihan bagi aspek kemahiran mendengar dan bertutur dalam kalangan pelajar. Justeru, kajian ini melibatkan seramai 261 orang guru terlatih dari 39 buah sekolah menengah yang telah dipilih secara rawak. Bagi melaksanakan kajian ini, kaedah-kaedah seperti analisis faktor, ujian-t dan analisis regresi digunakan. Kajian ini mendapati bahawa tahap pengetahuan teknologi maklumat dalam kalangan guru Bahasa Melayu semasa wabak pandemik Covid-19 adalah tidak positif disebabkan wabak yang berlaku terjadi secara tiba-tiba. Selain itu, kajian ini membuktikan bahawa guru lelaki adalah yang lebih bersedia berbanding dengan guru perempuan dalam proses pembelajaran pada musim norma baharu. Intiharnya, setiap individu perlu mempelajari serta bersedia dengan apa jua perubahan yang berlaku dalam bidang Pendidikan supaya dapat memperbaiki kelemahan dan kesilapan lampau dalam meneruskan kecemerlangan bidang Pendidikan negara.

Aims: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may affect oncogenic processes in a specific way for each tumor type. This study was conducted to reveal the relationship between OSA risk and prognosis and treatment responses in patients with lung cancer.
Methods: This prospective study included stage III and IV lung cancer patients aged between 18 and 75 years. Patients with poor performance status, cranial metastasis, congestive heart failure, surgery history, and positive airway pressure device use were excluded. STOP-BANG questionnaire was used to assess the OSA risk. The primary end-point was the differences in the survival and treatment responses of patients at intermediate/high risk of OSA compared with those at low OSA risk. Data from the patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) were analyzed separately.
Results: Ninety-eight patients (34 SCLC and 64 NSCLC), mostly male (85.7%), with a mean age of 59.3±8 were included in the analysis. Overall survival was similar in the groups. However, in the SCLC group, those at low OSA risk had a shorter progression-free survival (PFS) than those at intermediate/high risk (105±31.8 days, vs 272±16.2 days, p=0.001). Cox regression analysis showed that low OSA risk was an independent risk factor for PFS in only the SCLC group (HR:4.9 CI:1.6-14.7, p=0.005).
Conclusion: IOur results showed that low OSA risk was an independent poor prognostic factor for PFS in SCLC regardless of the tumor stage.
Persistent iatrogenic atrial septal defect after cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation
Authors: Yıldız Görkem , Candemır Başar , Gerede Demet Menekse
Published: May 2024

Aims: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by cryoballoon ablation (CB) technology is effective and safe treatment option for atrial fibrillation (AF). CB is performed by large diameter, 15Fr (4.95mm) transseptal sheath that may lead to creation of iatrogenic atrial septal defect (iASD). The objective of this study was to assess the incidence of iASD in patients who had undergone CB.
Methods: Patients with AF having undergone Arctic Front® CB ablation and a subsequent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) examination during post-ablation follow up period were consecutively enrolled. During all CB procedures, 15Fr transseptal sheath (Flex Cath, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) was utilized via single transseptal puncture (TsP).
Results: Twenty-eight patients (15 females, mean age 55.8+15.5) with paroxysmal (n=24) or persistent (n=4) AF formed study group. iASD was present 11 (39.3%) of them after mean follow-up time of 17.3+6.2 months. The procedural time is significantly longer in patient with iASD (119.0+8.8 minutes, p=0.01). No patients died or suffered from any clinically significant cerebral ischemic event. There was no sign of increase in systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (sPAP).
Conclusion: iASD after CB was found to be present in 39.3% of patient during a mean follow-up time of 17.3+6.2 months. The prolonged CB procedural time was the only factor that predicted iASD in our study. No adverse clinic events that might be related to iASD was observed during follow-up period.

Published: May 2024

Aims: Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is one of the most common bone diseases. We aimed to investigate the relationship between pan-immune inflammatory value and decreased bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.
Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was composed of 186 postmenopausal women. Osteoporosis was diagnosed with dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DEXA) results according to World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations and patients were separated into 3 groups; 1. control group with a T-score >-1; 2. group osteopenia with a T-score between -1.0 and -2.5; 3. group osteoporosis with a T-score ≤-2.5. After the physical examinations of all patients, venous blood samples were collected and the pan-immune inflammation value (PIV) was calculated. The parameters were evaluated statistically with the PIV value between the groups.
Results: Groups are similar in terms of age, menopausal age, education, and occupation. PIV was significantly higher in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis than women with osteopenia and the control group (p
Pre-operative pulmonary risk assessment in surgery patients

Published: May 2024

Aims: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) that may develop after surgery are important causes of morbidity and mortality. PPCs cause a prolongation of hospital stays and an increase in hospitalization costs. The study aims to determine factors associated with PPCs to predict PPCs in surgical patients undergoing preoperative evaluation.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital using data from 200 patients referred for preoperative pulmonary evaluation from anesthesia and surgery clinics. This study analyzed the characteristics and outcomes of patients with PPC and those without PPC. The Canet pulmonary risk scores are used for PPC in all preoperative surgery patients. The study’s primary endpoints are to determine the development of respiratory failure,
bronchospasm/asthma, COPD exacerbation, atelectasis, pleural effusion, or pneumonia. The study also analyzed the effective respiratory function parameters for PPC development using a logistic regression model.
Results: The total study population included 200 patients with a median age of 53.5 years (aged between 19-88), 103 (51.5%) of whom were female. PPCs were observed in 38% (n=76) of the study group. There was a statistically significant difference between the patients in terms of the development of postoperative pulmonary complications according to gender (higher in males, p=0.001) and smoking (p=0.0001). Preoperative oxygen saturation (SpO2) and FEV1/FVC ratio were significant predictors of PPC development, and complications were more frequent in low-saturated patients (p=0.0001, p=0.013
respectively). The relationship between SpO2 and PPC was confirmed via logistic regression analysis. A one-unit increase in saturation reduced the occurrence of postoperative respiratory complications by 0.645-fold. The cut-off value for the saturation value was 97.5%, with a sensitivity of 46.8% and a specificity of 71.1% [p=0.0001, 95% CI, (0.521-0.798)].
Conclusion: In this study, the Canet (ARISCAT) score, a preoperative evaluation scale validated in Turkey that predicts postoperative pulmonary complications and mortality, was used. The Canet risk score is a simple risk score with moderate discriminatory performance for predicting PPCs. It may be useful in identifying individual patients at high risk of PPC and in the design of future studies to evaluate interventions to prevent these complications. However, a customized preoperative risk assessment system is needed for each patient.
