SGOT and SGPT are two enzymes found in the liver in large amounts. Therefore, elevated levels of these two enzymes in the blood indicate liver disease. This study aims to identify liver disease in cats in Surabaya through the levels of SGOT and SGPT in the blood as the gold standard of diagnosis. Samples came from stray cats and domesticated cats of random age, breed, and sex. The blood samples collected were 62 samples, consisting of 33 domestic cats and 29 samples from stray cats. This study showed that from 33 samples of domesticated cats, 19 samples had higher than normal levels of SGOT, and from 29 samples of stray cats, 27 samples had higher than normal levels of SGOT. For SGPT levels, from 33 samples of domesticated cats, six samples had higher than normal levels of SGPT, and from 29 samples of stray cats, six samples had higher levels of SGPT than average. Data analysis used an independent sample t-test with SPSS for Windows with a signifi cance level of 0.05. The data analysis results showed no signifi cant diff erence, which means that the high levels of cat SGOT and SGPT enzymes did not signifi cantly aff ect the origin of the cat. Therefore, it can be concluded that high levels of SGOT and SGPT as the gold standard for detecting liver diseases can occur in all cats, including stray cats and domesticated cats.
SGOT和SGPT是肝脏中大量存在的两种酶。因此,血液中这两种酶的水平升高表明有肝病。本研究旨在通过血液中SGOT和SGPT水平作为诊断的金标准来识别泗水猫的肝脏疾病。样本来自随机年龄、品种和性别的流浪猫和家养猫。采集的血液样本为62份,其中33份来自家猫,29份来自流浪猫。本研究发现,33个家猫样本中有19个样本SGOT高于正常水平,29个流浪猫样本中有27个样本SGOT高于正常水平。对于SGPT水平,在33个家养猫样本中,6个样本的SGPT水平高于正常水平,在29个流浪猫样本中,6个样本的SGPT水平高于平均水平。数据分析采用SPSS for Windows的独立样本t检验,显著性水平为0.05。数据分析结果显示没有显著差异,这意味着高水平的猫SGOT和SGPT酶对猫的起源没有显著影响。因此,可以得出结论,高水平的SGOT和SGPT作为检测肝脏疾病的金标准,可能发生在所有猫身上,包括流浪猫和家猫。

The most common organism of acute viral gastroenteritis is norovirus, which accounts for roughly 20% of all occurrences of acute gastroenteritis globally. The virus kills over 200,000 children each year and is the leading cause of childhood diarrhea in the rotavirus-vaccinated population. This study aims to review available studies regarding the information on the genogroup norovirus in humans, development of norovirus vaccines, and effectiveness of norovirus vaccines. A systematic review using Science Direct, PubMed, and Scopus databases to identify eligible case studies. The search was conducted in September-October 2021. The quality of the included literature used checklists from the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP). All of the six selected studies with populations given RT-PCR intervention showed positive for norovirus infection. The most predominant genogroups in humans are GI and GII. As for the research results of the two selected studies on norovirus vaccine, namely the human phase 2 trial containing two Virus-Like Particles (VLP) genotypes, one study showed efficacy at 18-49 one study at ≥ 60 years of age. This study analysis uses Takeda bivalent vaccine. The vaccine includes norovirus antigens of the GI and GII genogroups, intending to expand its protective immune potential. GI, GII, and GIV genogroups are prevalent in humans. VLP that contains GI.I and consensus GII.4c have been created as the NoV vaccine, providing signifi cant efficacy. Very likely because they contain GI dan GII antigens, which are the genogroups that infect humans the most. Patients given a placebo developed acute gastroenteritis due to norovirus GII.2, indicating a genotype cross-reactivity.

Rapid and accurate detection performs an important role in the control of raising MDR-TB. Currently, studies on biomarkers as targets for TB diagnostic tests using immune response products to indicate the presence, mycobacterial load, early markers, and activity, diff erentiation, and progression markers of TB infection are rapidly available. This systematic review aims to summarize the last fi ve years of potential biomarkers studies from the immune response for MDR-TB rapid diagnostic development. The authors performed a literature search on four databases as ProQuest, EBSCO Academic Search, Universitas Gadjah Mada Online Library Journal Database, and Google Scholar, retrieved from January 2016 to December 2021. In total, 18,288 articles were identifi ed and three tudies met the inclusion criteria. Several promising biomarkers were found for MDR-TB diagnosis purposes, such as sCD14, PGLYRP2, FGA, Indoleamine 2, 3- dioxygenase (IDO), and Complement Receptor 2 (CR2). A combination of sCD14, PGLYRP2, and FGA were bringing a diagnostic design with a higher sensitivity (94.7%) and specifi city (80%) than the design of a single protein. Higher IDO activity towards the MDR-TB group than in the DS-TB group with a sensitivity of 87.50 %, specifi city of 72.22 %. CR2 was the main focus due to its association with IL-6. After induction of CR2 peptide in a dose-dependent manner, the expression level of IL-6 was decreased signifi cantly. It might because of CR2 peptide regulating the macrophages proinfl ammatory cytokines secretion to decrease the local infl ammation of the immune response. These biomarkers are strong candidates for MDR-TB diagnosis due to their important role as the pathogenesis marker of MDR-TB. There is a need of further research to investigate those immune response products and their role to eliminate infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis directly.

Chronic sinusitis is a long-term infl ammation that occurs in the nasal and paranasal mucosa for 12 weeks. Non-contrast CT scan is gold standard in diagnosing chronic sinusitis. This study aims to determine the characteristics of chronic sinusitis based on non-contrast CT scan at the ENT-Head and Neck Surgery Polyclinic of RSUDZA Banda Aceh in 2019. This research was a descriptive study with retrospective data, medical record. The sample of this study was taken by consecutive sampling method in October 2020 and obtained 111 samples. The results showed that most patients with chronic sinusitis were 30-39 years), as many as 42 people (37.8%). Most of the sexes suff ering from chronic sinusitis were women, as many as 59 people (53.2%). Based on the non-contrast CT scan, the location of the sinuses most aff ected was the maxillary sinuses, as many as 110 people (99.1%). The number of sinuses that were most aff ected was single sinusitis, which was 58 people (52.3%). Most patients with chronic sinusitis without polyps were found, as many as 89 people (80.2%). The most common anatomical variation found was septal deviation as many as 25 people (22.5%). The conclusions in this study indicate that women, late adulthood, maxillary sinus, single sinusitis, chronic sinusitis without nasal polyps, and septal deviation are characteristics of chronic sinusitis patients based on non-contrast CT scan.

Febrile neutropenia (FN) is the most severe complication in patients with blood cancer and chemotherapy. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of cancer in children and the most common cause of febrile neutropenia. The low number of neutrophils in ALL patients due to lymphoblast cancer cells and the toxicity of chemotherapy makes patients susceptible to infection which, if not treated immediately, can lead to death. Early risk assessment for infectious complications in FN patients is needed to increase clinician awareness in high-risk patients and eliminate unnecessary therapy for low-risk patients. The Rondinelli scoring system is a reasonably good instrument for predicting severe infectious complications in pediatric patients with ALL who have febrile neutropenia. This study aims to determine the relationship between the risk category for febrile neutropenia (FN) based on the Rondinelli score with clinical outcomes in FN patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in the Hematology-Oncology division of the child health department of RSUD Dr. Soetomo. This analytic observational study used secondary data FN patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) implementing a total sampling. From 30 samples of pediatric ALL patients with febrile neutropenia at Dr. Soetomo Hospital for June 2018-June 2020 it was found 17 patients (56.7%) had a moderate risk score category, and 13 others were in a low-risk category (43.3 %). Patients were dominated by moderate and severe severity of neutropenia respectively, 43.3%, had neutropenia for 1-7 days (50%), fever less than seven days (66.7%), had a length of stay of 8-14 days, and 15-30 days 33.3% each. Conclusion from this research is that there was a signifi cant relationship between the Rondinelli score category in pediatric ALL patients with FN with the severity of neutropenia p=0.037; R=0.383), duration of neutropenia (p=0.021; R=0.420), duration of fever (p=0.000; R=0.618), and length of stay (p-value 0.005; R=0.496).

Aedes aegypti transmits the dengue virus that causes Dengue Viring the high number of DVI cases is the existing breeding places of Ae. aegypti. The water sources used by the community and the surrounding environment are essential media for living Ae. aegypti larvae. This recent study aimed to detect the longevity of Ae. aegypti larvae in diff erent water sources in Surabaya and the killing effect of temephos. An analytical observational and experimental study was conducted in August-September 2021. Twenty-instar III Ae. aegypti larvae were put in each 100 ml beaker glass containing diff erent water sources, such as rain, well, mineral, new and used bath water, and antiseptic soapy water. Fungi in water sources were examined. Two groups were set with and without temephos, the final temephos concentration was of 0.00001 ppm. Live Ae. aegypti larvae, pupae, mosquitoes were observed every 24 hours for seven days without feeding. Living larvae were still found on Day 7 in all water sources with and without temephos. There were more larvae live in soapy water without temephos, particularly on Day 2 to Day 6, compared to other water sources either without or with temephos. In contrast, many larvae died in mineral water with temephos. Some larvae turned into pupae, started on Day 1. Pupae and mosquitoes were mostly found in rain water with temephos. Ae. aegypti larvae survived better in soapy water either with or without temephos. Temephos seemed to be effective to kill Ae. aegypti larvae in mineral water, and might induce larvae in turning to pupae and mosquitoes quickly at low concentration.

Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a crucial role in COVID-19 disease progression. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) works throughout several GSH-mediated mechanisms and is known to eliminate oxidative stress in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19. This study aims to analyze the effect of the N-Acetylcysteine as Adjuvant Therapy to reduce TNF-α levels and Increase SpO2/FiO2 ratio in Improving hypoxemia in COVID-19 Patients. This is a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group design study. There were 91 subjects selected using non-random sampling, which consisted of 75 patients in the NAC group and 16 patients in the control group. The TNF-α level was measured using the ELISA method, and SpO2/FiO2 ratio was calculated on day 1 (on admission) and day eight after NAC 5000mg/ 72 hours was given. Statistical analysis was conducted using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U Test. There is a significant decrease in TNF-α level in the treatment group (median 1.49±5.22) (p=0.016) compared with the control group (median 1.64±1.99) (p=0.005). The Median SpO2/FiO2 ratio on day 1 is 163.70±69.64 in the control group and 121.49±40.41 in the treatment group (p=0.005). The Median SpO2/FiO2 ratio on day 8 is 249.69±132.26 in the control group and 151.29±59.18 in the treatment group (p=0.001). There is a positive correlation between serum TNF-α level and SpO2/FiO2 ratio after administration of adjuvant therapy NAC (r=0.240, p=0.038). There is a positive correlation and significant decrease of serum TNF-α and SpO2/FiO2 ratio after adjuvant NAC therapy, which improves hypoxemia in COVID-19 patients.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a dengue infection which can cause shock and leads to mortality. Hypoalbuminemia is a marker of plasma leakage in DHF and correlated with severity of in fl ammatory response triggered by infection, including DHF. C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a proin fl ammatory marker that also increases in DHF. This study aims to determine a correlation of CRP/albumin ratio with severity of DHF. Cross sectional study on pediatric patients diagnosed as DHF at Saiful Anwar Malang Hospital was done in July-December 2016. CRP levels were examined using immunoturbidimetry method, while albumin was examined by using Bromocresol Green (BCG) method. Correlation of CRP/albumin ratio with DHF severity was analyzed by using Pearson correlation test.The result showed that there were signi fi cant diff erences in CRP levels and CRP/albumin ratios in the Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) and non-DSS group (p = 0.002, p = 0.001, α<0.05). There was no signi fi cant diff erence in albumin level in the same group (p = 0.207, α <0.05). Positive correlation found in CRP and CRP/albumin ratio (r = 0.46, r = 0.49, α <0.01). On the contrary the negative correlation was found in albumin (r = -0.21, α <0.01). This is presumably because albumin is an acute phase protein which will decrease along with the severity of infection. In contrast, CRP will increase during the critical phase of infection. It can be concluded that the CRP/albumin ratio was positively correlated with DHF severity, as well as CRP levels, but not positively correlatedwith albumin.

Malaria remains a health problem in Indonesia. West Kalimantan is a malaria endemic area with high and lowincidence. Landak District is one of the malaria endemic area. Malaria cases were found in the areas around illegalgold mining and oil palm plantations. The aims of this study were to describe the characteristics of the breeding sitesand species of Anopheles larvae found in high malaria cases area, namely Amboyo Utara Village and low clinicalmalaria cases, area namely Mandor Village. This research is a descriptive research with cross sectional design. Thesamples were Anopheles larvae collected with Accidental sampling technique in the breeding sites. Environmentalcharacterization of breeding sites were physical characteristic including water temperature and sun exposure,chemical characteristic including water pH and salinity, and biological characteristics including water biota. Theresults of this study ware environmental characteristics that have the potential to breed Anopheles mosquitoes inAmboyo Utara Village, including water temperature 26-30C, shandy, water pH 5.0-7.6, salinity 0.2-1.0 ppt, biotaswater hyacinth, grass and tadpole. The Mandor village, water temperature 29-30 ºC, shandy, pH of 6.9-8.0, salinity of0.5 ppt, water biota grass. Anopheles species found in Amboyo Utara village were larvae of An. vagus (94.30%), An.tessellatus (3.42%), An. subpictus (1.62%), An. indefinitus (0.81%) and An. maculatus (0.81%). Characteristics ofbreeding sites in Mandor village were larvae of An. maculatus (11.11%), An. subpictus (3.70%), and An. vagus(85.18%). The conclusion of this study was that di erent species found at breeding sites with di erent environmentalcharacteristics in both high and low malaria areas in Landak District, West Kalimantan Province.

The implementation of health problem analysis is carried out to increase the eff ectiveness and effi ciency of solving health problems through the selection of health problems that become priority problems in a region. The purpose of this study was to analyze the problem and determine the priority of health problems in the work area of the Pacitan District Health Office, East Java Province. This research is a descriptive observational study conducted at the Pacitan District Health Office in January 2020. The type of data used is secondary data obtained from the 2016-2019 Pacitan District Health Profile and primary data obtained through interviews with related parties, namely the head of the fi eld. , section head and program holder. Prioritization of health problems is carried out using the USG method based on the criteria of Urgency, Seriousness, Growth and fi nding the root of the problem using the fi shbone diagram method. The increase in HIV/AIDS cases with an USG score of 128 has become a top priority health problem in Pacitan District. An increase over the last 4 years with the highest number of cases in 2019, which was 39 cases. The fishbine diagram shows the root of the HIV/AIDS problem, namely the lack of public knowledge about HIV/AIDS, the lack of public knowledge about HIV/AIDS, the lack of awareness of people at risk for conducting an HIV test, this makes the community less aware of information about HIV/AIDS, causing public stigma. which results in people being closed / unwilling to check themselves at the puskesmas orhospital. The increase in HIV/AIDS cases is one of the problems in Pacitan district. To reduce the incidence, health workers need to optimize the dissemination of information about HIV/AIDS, especially risk factors, causes, prevention, symptoms and treatment. Increase the understanding of health workers and public awareness in conducting early detection.
