The prevalence of ASD is increasing every year. Report data from the Center for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) 1: 68 in 2016 means that out of 68 children, there is 1 child with ASD, while in 2017 it increased by 1: 36, meaning that out of 36 children there is 1 child with ASD1. ASD in men is 4 times greater than in women. This study used Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials (RCT), double blind, 65 research subjects randomized to provide intervention for 3 months in group 1 (n = 22) processed beef liver high in selenium, group 2 (n = 22) supplemented with selenium, group 2 (n = 22) supplemented with selenium, group 1 (n = 22) 3 (n=21) control group. Outcome of ATEC score measurement in the three groups. Major hypothesis There is a difference in the comparison of giving high selenium functional food (HSFF) with selenium supplements to decreasing ATEC scores in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) children, increasing levels of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and decreasing IL-β, IL-6 and TNF-α . Minor Hypothesis. a. There was a decrease in the ATEC score of ASD children in the intervention group of processed beef liver high in selenium, selenium supplementation compared to the control group b. The difference in the increase in GPx enzyme levels in the intervention group processed beef liver high in selenium, selenium supplementation compared to the control group in ASD children. c. Differences in decreased levels of IL-1β in the intervention group processed beef liver high in selenium, selenium supplementation compared to the control group with ASD.d. Differences in decreased levels of IL-6 in the intervention group processed high-selenium beef liver, selenium supplementation compared to the control group with ASD children. e. Differences in decreased levels of TNF- in the intervention group processed beef liver high in selenium, selenium supplementation compared to the control group with ASD children. Participants were randomized into three groups: Intervention group 1 high selenium functional food (n=22), Intervention 2 selenium supplement and group 3 control (n=21).
This interventional study aims to investigate the tolerance of organic formula milk on infants supplemented with organic formula milk. This study also observes gut microbiota, short chain fatty acids, nutritional status, and atopic manifestation on infants supplemented with organic formula milk. This study will be done on 50 subjects, with an age of 6-7 months old, 38-42 weeks of gestation, had a birth weight ranging from 2700 grams to 4200 grams, not suffering from any major congenital anomaly, not severely stunted at birth, has a normal thyroid function, not suffering any prominent gastrointestinal disease, not having a severe disease at the beginning of study, and has an approval from their parents. Participants' diet will be added an organic formula for infant for 3 months, and will be monitored regularly, since this study starts, at each month, and at the end of this study. The participants' gut microbiomes will be calculated at every session of monitoring by collecting their fecal samples, and brought to laboratory. Anthropological data (weight, height, body mass index), atopic manifestation, IL-6 and IL-10 will also be collected.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) infection is still a problem that cannot be overcome in Indonesia. In 2018 the number of tuberculosis (TB) sufferers in Indonesia reached more than 850/100,000 population, an increase around 20% from the previous year's incidence. One of the highest number of cases is in East Java Province, which is 38% of the total number of new TB cases in Indonesia. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) according to WHO classification criteria is an M. tuberculosis infection that occurs in tissues and organs outside the lung parenchyma. The incidence rate in Indonesia reaches 1-5% of the incidence of TB thus EPTB may often be forgotten. However, the diagnosis, therapy and monitoring post treatment in EPTB remains difficult to do. The focus of this research is tuberculous lymphadenitis (TB), due to 50% of EPTB cases in Indonesia was lymphadenitis TB. The risk factors for EPTB are immunocompromised conditions, such as HIV infection or comorbid conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus, but the mechanism of EPTB homing is still unclear. The mechanism of EPTB homing, especially TB lymphadenitis, really needs to be known for the development of diagnostics and therapy as well as preventing the occurrence of TB lymphadenitis. The importance of this research is to obtain compounds from the human immune response that can be developed as diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for tuberculosis infection, especially TB lymphadenitis. Activated macrophages containing M. tuberculosis are carried by lymph flow to lymph nodes, where there is deposition of antigen-antibody complexes which then activate CC Chemokine Receptor-2 (CCR2) on lymphocytes, which are the primary receptors for Chemokine (CC motif) ligands ( CCL)-8 and CCL5, proteins expressed on macrophages containing M. tuberculosis. Activation of CCR2 increases the production of IL-10(10). IL-10 has been responsible for decreasing the secretion of TNF-, IFN-γ, and IL-1β (11). IFN-γ affects the process of M. tuberculosis elimination and the success of TB therapy, so that IL-10 is responsible for the failure of macrophages to eliminate M. tuberculosis. IL-10 also binds to Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) and STAT3 increases the release of Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling 3 (SOCS3). SOCS3 interferes with IFN-γ signaling for CCR2 recognition of M. tuberculosis-containing macrophages. On the other hand, the mechanism of T lymphocytes and macrophages that activate pro-inflammatory mediators (TNF-, IFN-γ, and IL-1β) and the association of IL-10 activation on STAT3, SOCS3 and CCR2 expression in the incidence of EPTB, especially TB lymphadenitis without TB infection remains unknown.
Streptococcus Pneumoniae is one of the etiology in severe CAP and accounts for about 60-75% of cases and is likely to be the leading cause of unknown etiologic pneumonia. In Indonesia, studies regarding the prevalence of Streptococcus pneumoniae as the cause of CAP are still very rare. Therefore, there is still a need for further investigation in S. pneumoniae prevalence among hospitalized CAP by utilizing different detection methods in Indonesia. Antibiotics as a therapy of CAP also showed high levels of resistance, meanwhile, early detection of causative pathogen is potentially reducing the incidence of antibiotic resistance and usage of broad-spectrum antibiotics.
This study aimed to determine the accuracy of the V technique in predicting the location of the femoral vein compared to the technique of palpating the femoral artery with the use of USGss as a standard in determining the exact location of the femoral vein.
This is a randomized, controlled education-based interventional study without any investigational product. Study subjects are randomized to the intervention or control groups with a follow-up period of 12 weeks. 250 toddlers between ages 24 and 28 months with first-time primary caregiver (mother or father) from low to mid-income families in Indonesia will be enrolled.
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), the third most abundant constituent of breastmilk, are known to have beneficial effects on infant immunity. Maternal genetic polymorphisms cause HMO variability. The FUT2 gene determines the secretor status, whereas the FUT3 gene is responsible for the expression of Lewis fucosyltransferase. Therefore, breastmilk can be classified to four groups according to the variation. To date, this variability has not been investigated in Indonesia. This study aims to evaluate the association between FUT2 gene polymorphism and 2'-Fucosyllactose (2'-FL) secretor phenotype. In addition, infant FUT2 gene polymorphism and short chain fatty acid (SCFA) profile from stool samples are also analysed.
The aim of our study is to assess the effect of giving dadiah as a supplement to pregnant women on improving the growth and digestive health of children.
Introduction : Prolotherapy is regenerative tissue therapy that is considered to be efficacious in reducing symptoms and morbidity of frozen shoulder, but only a few studies demonstrate the effect of prolotherapy at the biomolecular level, particularly the level of Matrix Metalloproteinase- I (MMP-1), Tissue Inhibitor Matrix Metalloproteinase (TIMP-1), as the biomarkers of cartilage repair. Objective: To determine the effect of prolotherapy on MMP-1, TIMP-1, and functional outcomes in frozen shoulder patients Method: a double-blind randomized controlled trial study involving participants who had been diagnosed with Frozen Shoulder. History taking, functional outcome assessment, MMP-1, and TIMP-1 were measured. The prolotherapy via intraarticular and extraarticular was performed four times, followed by the evaluation of functional outcome, MMP-1, and TIMP-1 at week 12 Alternative Hypothesis : Prolotherapy will increase the MMP-1, TIMP-1 levels, and improve functional outcome among Frozen Shoulder patients
