Published: August 2017

Background: The incidence of obesity is increasing dramatically worldwide. Overweight/obesity is the fifth leading risk factor for global death. At least 2-8 million adults die each year as a result of being overweight or obese. Studies on medical students and health personnel in many countries suggested that obesity is a problem among these population groups. Methods: A cross- sectional study was conducted at a medical college in Tumkur district of Karnataka. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data from 200 medical students after taking their written consent. Results: Prevalence of overweight/obesity among the students was found to be 16% as per BMI cut-off. 39% of the female and 80%of the male students had normal waist-hip ratio while 61% of the female students and 20% of the male students had a higher waist-hip ratio where the risk of developing the metabolic complications was substantially increased. However, apart from breakfast skipping, no other Life-style behaviour was found to have any significant effect on obesity in the study. Conclusions: Prevalence of overweight and obesity according to WHO classification was 14.5% and 1.5%. The study reinforces the need to encourage healthy lifestyle, healthy food habits and a physically active daily routine among medical students.
Perspectives of interns on integration of ayurveda and allopathy in health care: a qualitative study
Authors: Dushyanth P. , Majjige Sumanth Mallikarjuna
Published: August 2017

Background: The objective of the study was to generate perspectives of Interns on integration of Ayurveda and Allopathy in health care through focus group discussion. Methods: Two focused group discussion (FGD) sessions with Interns (N=15) of our institution was conducted during October 2014. Interns were selected based on convenience sampling method. Both FGD was conducted by the same moderator after taking consent from the participants. Sessions were audio recorded and later it was transcribed and analyzed. Results: The discussion showed that they had limited knowledge about Ayurveda which was from reading books and interacting with Ayurveda interns during the postings. There was mixed opinion regarding the integration of two systems of medicine. They opined that both the systems should not be integrated because Ayurveda is not based on evidence based research like Allopathy. Majority of interns opined that integration will benefit the patients as many chronic diseases can be effectively treated with Ayurveda. They suggested that providing knowledge about Ayurveda to Allopathy doctors at syllabus and training level will help in giving proper advice to patients on opting for ayurvedic treatment. Everyone had a positive opinion regarding inclusion of ayurvedic doctors in managing health programs as it increases the man power for effective management. Conclusions: Integration of both systems will benefit the patient. Quality research evidence on specific diseases which are effectively treated in Ayurveda will encourage Allopathy doctors to recommend ayurvedic treatment. Thus, considering alternative medicine as an additional medicine will have a positive impact on effective health care.

Authors: Singh Arun , Katyal Rashmi , Chandra Shalini , Joshi Hari S. , Singh Kashmir
Published: August 2017

Background: It is postulated that memory of basic sciences in medical curriculum and its correlation with clinical work among undergraduate students is less than expected, which drives into the dire necessity to vertically integrate the subjects. The aims and objectives of the study were to assess the impact of vertical integration of teaching among medical undergraduate students of a medical college and to assess the perceptions of the medical undergraduate students about the vertical integration of teaching during lecture classes in a medical college.Methods: Ninety six out of 119 second MBBS students had undergone vertically integrated sessions by six departments of a medical institute on assessment and management of diarrhoea using four interactive methods and two traditional teaching methods during April 2015 to September 2015 among the M.B.B.S. students of Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital, Bareilly. Inclusion criteria were all the M.B.B.S. 2nd year students of 2013 batch were included in the study. Exclusion criteria were the M.B.B.S. students who were absent on the day of study were excluded. Competency of students was assessed using competency based assessment methods i.e. OSCE, OSPE, DOPS, SAQ and MCQs and their perceptions recorded using Likert’s Scale. Comparative analysis of pre and post-tests was done using paired t-test and ANOVA.Results: The difference between the mean value of the marks obtained by the medical students using the five assessment tools was found to be statistically significant (p value being <0.05) using paired t-test, showing improvement in competency. Vertical integration was strongly agreed upon as the best method by 45.8% on Likert scale. Comparative analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the assessment tools was also found to be highly significant (p value being <0.05).Conclusions: The indexed study derives us to a conclusion to incorporate vertical integration in our medical education in order to accomplish higher learning domains.

Authors: N. Raghavendra , Viveki R. G. , Gadgade Akash
Published: August 2017

Background: ‘Quality of life’ (QOL) evaluation has emerged as an important outcome measure for chronic disease management. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has a number of chronic effects, including disability, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and blindness.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Non Communicable Disease (NCD) Clinic of tertiary care hospital Belagavi. The data was collected by interviewing 210 Type 2 DM patients, using a pre designed structured questionnaire. QOL was assessed by using World Health Organization Quality of life questionnaire – short version (WHOQOL-BREF).Results: Of the 210 study subject’s, majority of them were males. The mean and standard deviation scores for physical, psychological, social relationship and environmental domains were 62.36±15.09, 61.84±14.04, 54.92±18.27, 63.61±12.28 respectively. Overall 68.1% of them had good perceived QOL whereas measured QOL was good in only 48.6% of them. Per capita income was positively correlated whereas age and other continuous variables like blood pressure, random blood sugar etc. were negatively correlated with all the four domains of WHOQOL-BREF.Conclusions:More than half of the study participants (51.4%) had poor QOL. DM had significantly affected Hr-QOL especially the social relationship domain. Participants with older age, obesity, longer duration of DM had poor QOL.

Published: August 2017

Background: Indonesia as the secondlargest contributor of tuberculosis (TB)has adopted the WHOrecommendation through DOTS strategy to reducedisease burden in both government and private hospitals. Effectiveness of DOTS implementation in healthcare centers has been reported. However,few studies found that the TB treatment success rate in hospitals was still low.The objectives of the study were to assess case detection and the implementation of DOTS strategy in hospital. Methods: Study was conducted in 8 hospitalsin West Java and Central Java that had implemented DOTS strategy during a two-year period (2007-2008). Mixed methods were used to obtain data on treatment strategy quantitatively and its exploration qualitatively, particularly the practice performed by hospital staff and the patient’s experience. Results: Hospitals didnot refer many new TB cases to healthcare centers. All patients, treatment observers and the heads of DOTS team of the private hospitals stated that medication was always available at the hospital. Some public hospitals reported lack of stock of OAT due to large patient numbers.Seven out of the 8 hospitals had allocated treatment observers.Public and private hospitals had achieved treatment success rate of 61 to 74% for smear-positive and negative cases. However, there was a high proportion of cases that defaulted from treatment, the majority of which was among smear-negative cases in public hospital (29%). Conclusions: Overall success rate of TB treatment in hospital was low. Strengthening of TB case management in hospital through improved training of health-care personnel is needed to reduce the burden of TB in Indonesia.

Authors: Desaiah Dhananjaya Chinthapatlu , Chikkegowda Lokesh Kabbalu , Chandru Swetha , Munipapanna Santhosh
Published: August 2017

Background: Rabies is 100% fatal zoonotic disease. In India majority of the disease is caused by bite of dogs, whereas bite of several other animals like cats, donkeys, monkeys, pigs, jackals and wolves can cause rabies. Post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) effectively prevents the occurrence of rabies in the exposed person. Hence the current study is done to know the treatment compliance among the patients attending Anti rabies clinic.Methods: It is hospital based longitudinal study. Data was collected through personal interview from January 1st 2013 to December 31st 2013 and clinical examination was done. All patients were registered and were given first dose of ARV at the time of registration and advised to take all the remaining doses as per schedule. Data regarding their compliance for completion of vaccination schedule was analyzed. Statistical analysis was done by using simple proportions and percentages.Results: Out of 7205 patients, 5343 (74.15%) patients completed second dose, 5021 (69.68%) patients completed third dose and 2998 (41.6%) patients completed fourth dose of intradermal schedule of rabies vaccination and anti-rabies immunoglobulins were advised for 1536 patients among them 1180 (76.82%) patients took immunoglobulins.Conclusions: Most of the patients are not completing ARV intradermal schedule. Hence the animal bite patients should be motivated effectively through health education by interpersonal communication at the time of initiation of vaccination course about timely and complete administration of anti - rabies vaccination to attain the goal of Rabies free India.

Published: August 2017

Background: Hepatitis-B virus is a potentially critical and familiar occupational hazard for health care workers including nursing students particularly those who are exposed to the populations whose HBsAg prevalence is high. The aim of the study was to assess the Hepatitis-B - knowledge, perception and vaccination status among nursing students.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by Department of Community Medicine, Government Medical College, Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh in July 2016, among nursing students of Government Nursing College, Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh. Using purposive sampling data was collected via a pre-tested self- administered questionnaire. Overall 218 nursing students participated in the study. Statistical analysis was done using Stata version 12.1. Chi square test was used to identify any statistically significant difference among the nursing batches.Results: The study found that only 18.9% of the 1st year students are vaccinated. Knowledge regarding treatment options was found out to be significantly (p<0.05) low among all nursing batches.Conclusions: There is lack of knowledge among all students regarding its treatment. Only 18.97% of the 1st year students reported to be vaccinated which puts them at a greater risk of acquiring the infection in future. Therefore, it is recommended that they should get themselves vaccinated before entering clinical rotations. More studies should be conducted on nursing/ medical staff to assess their knowledge on Hepatitis B infection in tribal areas which have high prevalence.

Authors: Joshi Sheloj , Saxena Dineshkumar M. , Joshi Mahesh Kumar
Published: August 2017

Background: Paediatric tuberculosis (TB) indicates presence in the community of sputum -positive pulmonary tuberculosis, presence of childhood risk factors for disease and stage of epidemic. This "orphan disease" exists in the shadow of adult TB and is a significant child health problem, but is neglected. As a result both research and surveillance data in the field of childhood TB has been greatly limited. Objective of the study was to find out the socio-demographic profile of paediatric TB patients registered under RNTCP in Bhopal city.Methods: A study was conducted in all tuberculosis treatment units (TU) of Bhopal city. All paediatric patients in the age group of 0 to 14 years diagnosed as TB and registered under RNTCP and fulfilling inclusion criteria during January to June 2013 (six months) were included in the study. The data was analysed on statistical software SPSS VS.20.Results: The maximum numbers of patients (66.06%) were in the age group of 1-10 years. More than half of the mothers and fathers of paediatric patients are either illiterate or having low educational status. In our study 92.72% of patients belonged to low socio economic status and also 69.09% of paediatric patients lived in overcrowded households and were malnourished.Conclusions: The study concluded that tuberculosis in children affects mainly the age group of 1-10 years and is more common in females. Poor housing conditions contribute to tuberculosis incidence as majority of the paediatric patients lives in semi Pucca and Kaccha house and gave a history of dwelling in overcrowded houses. Majority of children were malnourished.

Authors: Singh Atul Kumar , Gupta S. B. , Khan Huma
Published: August 2017

Background: A recent trial has shown that early initiation of breastfeeding could reduce neonatal mortality by 22%, which would contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. Globally, over one million newborn infants could be saved each year by initiating breastfeeding within the first hour of life. In developing countries alone, early initiation of breastfeeding could save as many as 1.45 million lives each year by reducing deaths, mainly due to diarrheal disorders and lower respiratory tract infections in children. We studied the practice of early initiation of breast feeding among institutional delivered women in district Bareilly.Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in the residence of 289 mothers who were delivered in health care institutions of district Bareilly. The study was carried out among women who delivered in 3 hospitals (one tertiary care hospital - SRMS IMS, one secondary level care hospital (district hospital) and one primary health center (PHC).  All the recently delivered mothers were interviewed at their residences that were having infants aged up to 1 month.Results: 186 (64.4%) mothers had started the breast feeding within 1 hour after delivery. More than half (59.1%) women were aware about the duration of exclusive breast feeding while only 101 (34.9%) women aware about the correct positioning for proper breastfeeding.Conclusions: Early rooming-in, skin-to-skin contact and support to the mother are the simple interventions which are likely to have the greatest impact in reducing child mortality.

Each estimated arrival time to nearest university hospital is 37 min, 47 min, 1 hour 32 min and 2 hours 37 min, respectively (Gori, Wolsung, Yeonggwang and Uljin). Measured distance is 25, 27, 69 and 157 kilometers, respectively.Conclusions: Gori and Wolsung nuclear power plants require other hospital in close location or more rapid transport system.
A comunicação dissidente na comédia stand-up: o caso dos países árabes e muçulmanos
Authors: Wainberg Jacques A.
Published: August 2017

Este estudo analisa o conteúdo das piadas produzidas e apresentadas por comediantes stand-up que, em várias partes do mundo, tratam de uma temática comum, a inserção do árabe e do muçulmano na modernidade. Este gênero de humor se difundiu em vários países do Oriente Médio e da África, à semelhança do que ocorre em outros continentes. Os governos de países como Arábia Saudita, Bahrein e Egito toleram hoje em dia, em algum grau, a dissidência proposta por tais humoristas. Ver a sociedade árabe e muçulmana rir de si é ocorrência nova e surpreendente, pois rompe com a imagem estereotipada de que ela é incapaz de suportar a sátira e a ironia por estar dominada pelo medo e o conservadorismo.
Culturas juvenis, identidades e estilo de vida: sentidos do “alternativo” no Baixo Augusta/São Paulo
Authors: Pereira Simone Luci , Pontes Vitor
Published: August 2017

Apresentamos neste artigo aspectos da pesquisa que vem sendo realizada sobre a construção de identidades ligadas a um “ethos alternativo” entre jovens frequentadores da região do Baixo Augusta em São Paulo. Articulando práticas de consumo (em suas lógicas de produção e recepção), cenas musicais, moda e estilos de vida, buscamos compreender estas experiências e imaginários juvenis (por meio de etnografia) que compõem identidades e formas de consumir alternativas ao mainstream e à cultura hegemônica. Com isso, reposicionam-se e ressemantizam-se noções de resistência juvenil que se esboçam não apenas pelo enfrentamento mas por negociações entre as lógicas dominantes e as astúcias cotidianas, perfazendo-se em ações de teor político, estético e performativo.

Procesos de formación en investigación en la Universidad: Â¿Qué le queda a los estudiantes?
Authors: Rojas Betancur Hector Mauricio , Méndez Villamizar Raquel
Published: August 2017

La formación investigativa es un componente central en la educación del joven universitario en la sociedad actual y la actitud hacia esa formación puede ser un indicador sobre la calidad de los procesos de formación y de la posibilidad de ingreso temprano del estudiante en los sistemas universitarios de investigación y la formación de científicos. En el presente estudio, de tipo transversal-correlacional, se evalúa la actitud del joven a partir de tres elementos: autopercepción, incidencia de los profesores e incidencia de las universidades sobre la formación en investigación en el nivel de grado. Se aplicó un instrumento estructurado a estudiantes de ocho universidades del área metropolitana de Bucaramanga, Colombia, por muestreo aleatorio simple. Se destaca el alto valor que los estudiantes le otorgan al aprendizaje de la investigación en la Universidad, pero la baja proyección y actitud de la mayoría hacia los temas científicos. Adicionalmente se encontró que los profesores tienen un alto nivel de impacto en la actitud del estudiante hacia la investigación mientras que los factores sociales e institucionales no representan una lata incidencia. Finalmente el estudio demuestra una tendencia decreciente de la actitud hacia la investigación a mayor nivel en la Universidad.

El cuerpo y la lúdica: herramientas promisorias para la enseñanza y aprendizaje de las matemáticas
Authors: Rodríguez Manosalva Yolanda
Published: August 2017

En este escrito se hará un análisis de la importancia que tiene la lúdica como instrumento de aprendizaje de las matemáticas, teniendo en cuenta que el cuer-po permite desarrollar habilidades no solamente motoras, sino también faculta-des intelectuales que implican altos niveles de abstracción como las operacio-nes matemáticas de adicionar, dividir, calcular o multiplicar. La metodología em-pleada fue la investigación acción, mediante la aplicación de entrevistas a los estudiantes, padres de familia y docentes, así como la sistematización de expe-riencias en el aula por medio de un diario de campo. Se encontró que la ense-ñanza tradicional- monótona- no posibilita que los alumnos se dispongan a di-mensionar la importancia del aprendizaje de las matemáticas. Se concluye que es necesario que el docente implemente estrategias que vinculen el aspecto lúdico y el cuerpo para mejorar los procesos de enseñanza â€“ aprendizaje, lo cual permite que la concepción que se tiene de las matemáticas no se relacione solo como alejada de la realidad, sino que se le otorgue el estatus de un saber que mejora los procesos de comprensión y reflexión, facilitando la solución de pro-blemas prácticos.Â
On the Ramsey number of 4-cycle versus wheel
Authors: Noviani Enik , Baskoro Edy Tri
Published: August 2017

For any fixed graphs $G$ and $H$, the Ramsey number $R(G,H)$ is the smallest positive integer $n$ such that for every graph $F$ on $n$ vertices must contain $G$ or the complement of $F$ contains $H$. The girth of graph $G$ is a length of the shortest cycle. A $k$-regular graph with the girth $g$ is called a $(k,g)$-graph. If the number of of vertices in $(k,g)$-graph is minimized then we call this graph a $(k,g)$-cage. In this paper, we derive the bounds of Ramsey number $R(C_4,W_n)$ for some values of $n$. By modifying $(k, 5)$-graphs, for $k = 7$ or $9$, we construct these corresponding $(C_4,W_n)$-good graphs.

Further results on edge irregularity strength of graphs
Authors: Imran Muhammad , Aslam Adnan , Zafar Sohail , Nazeer Waqas
Published: August 2017

A vertex $k$-labelling $\phi:V(G)\longrightarrow \{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ is called irregular $k$-labeling of the graph $G$ if for every two different edges $e$ and $f$, there is $w_{\phi}(e)\neq w_{\phi}(f)$; where the weight of an edge is given by $e=xy\in E(G)$ is $w_{\phi}(xy)=\phi(x)+\phi(y)$. The minimum $k$ for which the graph $G$ has an edge irregular $k$-labelling is called \emph{edge irregularity strength} of $G$, denoted by $es(G)$.\\
In the paper, we determine the exact value of the edge irregularity strength of caterpillars, $n$-star graphs, $(n,t)$-kite graphs, cycle chains and friendship graphs.

Lobos-maus e chapeuzinhos-vermelhos em ilustrações para ver e ler
Authors: Scareli Giovana , Andrade Elenise Cristina Pires de
Published: August 2017

Propomos olhares em movimento pelos interiores de algumas imagens em busca de reconhecer elementos de sua própria linguagem a fim de estabelecermos um diálogo com estas imagens e suas/nossas potencialidades, encantamentos, sentidos. Ver Lobos e Chapeuzinhos como fragmentos ressonantes em narrativas que se multiplicam em diferentes cenários e “contextualizações”. Nossa aposta está em não mais obedecer à necessidade representacional do questionamento “o que isso quer dizer?”, “qual o significado daquilo?”, mas possibilitar escorregões e deslizes pelas potências da contemplação e produção de sentidos na própria imagem. Ler imagens que se soltam do texto. Ler textos que se permitem desvincular das imagens; (im)possibilidades em buscar outras apresentações da menina e do animal com a intenção de tencionar os limites do que frequentemente se nomeia imagem, texto, produção cultural, e potencializar as multiplicidades na ausência do equivalente que representariam e interpretariam. Mas e quanto ao papel do professor perante a educação advinda das imagens: seríamos nós os “faxineiros/as” das “misturas”, das “diferenças” com que nos deparamos no campo educacional, na tentativa de deixar tudo mais uniforme? Se assim o for, talvez estejamos pasteurizando interpretações e análises – pasteurização que não ocorre somente na indústria, mas também com as linguagens e conteúdos.
Composições curriculares: culturas e imagens que fazemos e que nos fazem
Authors: Paraíso Marlucy Alves
Published: August 2017

O currículo encontra-se povoado por culturas e imagens diversas. Os modos como tais culturas e imagens são vistas, percebidas e tratadas tanto podem limitar como facilitar que composições potencializadoras sejam produzidas nesse território. Este artigo explora possibilidades de um currículo fazer composições com imagens e culturas que o povoam de modo a colocar em jogo novas relações com tudo a que está associado. A discussão aqui apresentada é baseada, sobretudo, nas chamadas teorias pós-críticas de currículo e em algumas idéias do pensamento de Gilles Deleuze. O objetivo é pensar possibilidades de um currículo mover-se entre culturas e imagens que o povoam sem deixar que estas paralisem o pensamento, indiquem caminhos conhecidos a seguir e delimitem os modos de ver, perceber e sentir no território curricular.
Estudos do cotidiano, pequisa em educação e vida cotidiana: o desafio da coerência
Authors: Oliveira Inês Barbosa de
Published: August 2017

As pesquisas nos/dos/com os cotidianos se desenvolvem simultaneamente ao desenvolvimento da própria metodologia desse modo de pesquisar. Isso porque, para recuperar a importância das práticas microbianas, singulares e plurais, dos praticantes da vida cotidiana (Certeau, 1994) é necessário vivenciar esse processo de (re)invenção do ato de pesquisar. Parece cada vez mais fundamental ir-se à vida cotidiana, ao que acontece e ao que estão vivendo as pessoas para se pensar políticas sociais. Definir juventude, o que ela é, como é possível pensá-la e abordá-la são questões centrais para o debate a respeito dos modos como a sociedade pode e deve desenvolver políticas apropriadas às necessidades e anseios desse heterogêneo grupo social. A crescente consciência sobre a insuficiência dos métodos de pesquisa associados ao cientificismo positivista – voltados para as generalizações e definição de modelos – para a compreensão da complexa dinâmica que envolve a vida cotidiana associa-se à convicção de que o desenvolvimento epistemológico da noção de cotidiano é indissociável daquele das metodologias das pesquisas que nele, com ele e sobre ele se desenvolvem. O texto traz uma reflexão teórico-epistemológico-metodológica sobre o tema, entendendo que um dos principais desafios a ser enfrentado pelo campo sociológico dos chamados estudos do cotidiano – seja para pensar a juventude, a escola, ou outras questões – é a coerência interna entre essas diferentes, mas indissociáveis, dimensões.
Por que somos tão disciplinares?
Authors: Lopes Alice Casimiro
Published: August 2017

Com base na discussão acumulada no campo do currículo sobre organização do currículo escolar, reflito, neste artigo, sobre a disciplinarização do conhecimento que nos constitui como pesquisadores. Por que ainda somos tão disciplinares? Mesmo em um campo no qual o debate crítico sobre as disciplinas é tão acentuado, por que ainda organizamos nossos periódicos, congressos, processos de avaliação nas agências de fomento e aulas de maneira disciplinar? Analiso neste artigo que a resposta a essas questões não é encontrada nas dinâmicas gerais da organização do conhecimento científico, nem pode ser reduzida à dicotomia entre ser contra ou a favor das disciplinas. Defendo como a discussão sobre as disciplinas nos dirige a um debate sobre política e identidade.

Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar a concepção de Kant e Wolff acerca da representação inconsciente, assim como analisar a referência crítica de Kant a Wolff no que diz respeito a alguns conceitos, como de “nota” e a “divisão das faculdades” entre inferiores e superiores com base no critério clareza-obscuridade. Wolff estabelece a dicotomia claro-obscuro e concebe a representação inconsciente como uma representação obscura pouco iluminada pela claridade da consciência. Kant mantém essa distinção de Wolff, porém, com relação ao conceito de obscuro, e ampliará seu alcance para o âmbito teórico, prático e estético.

Indonesia is a tropical country with its all potential for tropical diseases that are vulnerable to attack its population. This study aims to identify the mechanisms of the tropical disease handling and the potentials that can be done to increase the capacity of tropical disease handling itself. The focus of this research is to increase the capacity of the tropical diseases handling existing in East Java, more specifically in some regencies or cities, among others are Bojonegoro, Sampang and Pacitan. The approach of the study was the qualitative approach which was characterized by the existence of an actual setting, researchers as a key instrument, emphasizing the process, and the data analysis is inductive. Data were collected using in-depth interview has well as secondary data from health care institution and the internet. A focused group discussion was also occupied to enrich the results, the cases were illustrated and the models were structured more comprehensively in the handling of tropical diseases. Participants of this study were health care workers who work at the health institutions including the Health Department, Hospitals, the and Public Health Centers. The findings were all analyzed qualitatively. The results of this study indicated that there are four dimensions of capacity, namely the capacity of the human resource, the capacity of the institution, the capacity of the system and the capacity of the community or the community itself.

Infection of dengue virus (DENV) was number of globally significant emerging pathogen. Antiviral dengue therapies ar importantly needed to control emerging dengue. Dengue virus (DENV) is mosquito-borne arboviruses responsible for causing acute systemic diseases and grievous health conditions in humans. To date, there is no clinically approved dengue vaccine or antiviral for humans, even though there have been great efforts towards this end. Copper and copper compounds have more effective in inactivation viruses, likes an influenza virus and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Purpose in this project was investigated of Copper(II)chloride Dihydrate antiviral compound were further tested for inhibitory effect on the replication of DENV-2 in cell culture. DENV replication was measures by Enzyme linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) with selectivity index value (SI) was determined as the ratio of cytotoxic concentration 50 (CC50) to inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) for compound. The maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of Copper(II)chloride Dihydrate against dengue virus type-2 was 0.13 μg/ml. The cytotoxic concentration (CC50) of compound against Vero cell was 5.03 μg/ml. The SI values for Copper(II)chloride Dihydrate 38.69. Result of this study suggest that Copper(II)chloride Dihydrate demonstated significant anti-DENV-2 inhibitory activities and not toxic in the Vero cells. Copper mechanisms play an important role in the prevention of copper toxicity, exposure to excessive levels of copper can result in a number of adverse health effects, as a result increased reactive oxygen species and oxidative damage to lipid, DNA, and proteins have been observed in human cell culture models or clinical syndromes of severe copper deficiency and inhibition was attributed to released cupric ions which react with cysteine residues on the surface of the protease.

Published: August 2017

Objectives: To identify in vivo correlation between 25(OH)D and VEGF in severe preeclampsia.Materials and Methods: A case control, cross sectional study of 36 pregnant women which consist of 18 patients with preeclampsia and 18 patients as control with gestational age-matched. We perform 25(OH)D serum examination by chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) and VEGF serum examination by sandwich ELISA to all patients.Results: All patients are in 25(OH)D insufficiency and deficiency state. Both maternal 25(OH)D and VEGF levels were inversely associated with the risk of preeclampsia (both P<0.05). There is no correlation between 25(OH)D serum level and VEGF serum level (P=0,629).Conclusion: Maternal vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased preeclampsia risk. However, our data do not support the hypothesis that the association between vitamin D deficiency and preeclampsia is mediated by impaired level of VEGF.

Tujuan: Mempelajari pengaruh pemberian kurkumin terhadap ekspresi tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α kompleks oosit-kumulus (KOK) sapi pada kultur zalir peritoneum penderita infertil dengan endometriosis ringan dan berat.Bahan dan Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental murni yang dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Embrio-logi Fakultas Kedokteran Hewan Universitas Airlangga antara April sampai Agustus 2014. Zalir peritoneum diambil dari penderita infertil dengan endometriosis ringan, endometriosis berat, dan non-endometriosis yang menjalani laparoskopi diagnosis di Klinik Fertilitas Graha Amerta RSUD dr. Sutomo Surabaya, RS Bersalin Putri Surabaya, RSIA Kendangsari Surabaya, RS Universitas Airlangga Surabaya. Masing-masing zalir peritoneum endometriosis ringan dan berat dibagi lagi menjadi zalir peritoneum endometriosis dengan kurkumin dan tanpa kurkumin. Zalir peritoneum non endometriosis dikelompok-kan menjadi zalir peritoneum penderita non endometriosis tanpa dan dengan kurkumin. KOK sapi diambil secara consecutive sampling dari aspirasi folikel antral diameter 3–8 mm dari ovarium sapi yang berasal dari Rumah Potong Hewan Surabaya kemudian secara acak dengan randomisasi sederhana dikultur dalam tujuh kelompok. Kelompok 1 ditempatkan dalam tissue culture medium 199 (TCM-199) saja. Kelompok 2, 3 dan 4 TCM-199 ditambah masing-masing 3% zalir peritoneum penderita infertil dengan endometriosis ringan, berat dan non-endometriosis. Kelompok 5, 6, dan 7 media TCM-199 ditambah masing-masing 3% zalir peritoneum penderita infertil dengan endometriosis ringan, berat dan non-endometriosis dan dengan kurkumin 20 µg/ml.Hasil: Uji Kruskal Wallis menunjukkan perbedaan yang bermakna ekspresi TNF-α pada ketujuh kelompok (p<0,0001). Uji Mann-Whitney juga menunjukkan bahwa ekspresi TNF-α KOK sapi pada kultur kelompok endometriosis ringan dengan kurkumin (ER+C) lebih rendah secara bermakna dibandingkan kelompok endometriosis ringan tanpa kurkumin (ER). Ekspresi TNF-α KOK sapi pada kultur kelompok endometriosis berat dengan kurkumin (EB+C) lebih rendah secara bermakna dibandingkan kelompok endometriosis berat tanpa kurkumin (EB). Uji Mann-Whitney menunjukkan ekspresi TNF-α KOK sapi pada kultur kelompok ER lebih tinggi secara bermakna dibandingkan kontrol ataupun kelompok non endometriosis (NE). Ekspresi TNF-α KOK sapi pada kultur kelompok EB lebih tinggi secara bermakna dibandingkan kontrol ataupun kelompok NE. Ekspresi TNF-α KOK sapi pada kultur kelompok EB tidak didapatkan perbedaan yang bermakna dibandingkan dengan kelompok ER.Simpulan: Pemberian kurkumin dapat dipertimbangkan untuk digunakan sebagai terapi tambahan pada penderita infertil terkait endometriosis.

Tujuan: Membandingkan kadar PIBF serum dan berat plasenta pada model preeklampsia.Bahan dan Metode: Penelitian cross sectional yang dilakukan pada 16 Mus musculus bunting normal dan 16 Mus musculus bunting yang diberikan anti Qa-2 untuk membentuk suatu model preeklampsia. Kemudian dilakukan terminasi pada hari ke 16 kebuntingan dan dilakukan pemeriksaan kadar PIBF serum dengan metode ELISA serta pengukuran berat plasenta.Hasil: Didapatkan penurunan kadar PIBF serum pada Mus musculus model preeklampsia dibandingkan kontrol (33,21±29,36 ng/ml vs 105,76±59,69 ng/ml; p<0,05). Tidak ada perbedaan berat plasenta Mus musculus model preeklampsia dibandingkan kontrol (97,75±50,74 mg vs 116,09±44,45 mg; p>0,05). Tidak didapatkan hubungan antara kadar PIBF serum dengan berat plasenta.Simpulan: Penurunan kadar PIBF serum dapat dijadikan sebagai penanda kejadian preeklampsia. Penurunan kadar PIBF serum diduga berhubungan dengan kelainan plasenta pada preeklampsia.
