Reliable laboratory testing is important to detect Toxoplasma gondii infection and focuses on improving the low cost and easy to use the diagnostic instrument. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method can be used to determine a large number of samples within a short period of time which based on antibody or antigen detection. We tested the sensitivity and specificity of GRA1 protein of as antigen using the ELISA method to toxoplasmosis diagnosis and compared it with commercial ELISA kit. Seventy sera samples were collected and tested using indirect ELISA, commercial ELISA kit and GRA1 protein-coated as antigen. The results showed 48 and 51 samples had positive IgG antibody using ELISA-GRA1 and commercial ELISA kit, respectively. The GRA1 sensitivity and specificity on ELISA were 100% and 86.36%, respectively. Whereas positive predictive value (PPV) was 94.11%. This result indicated that the recombinant GRA1 protein is a highly immunogenic protein in human toxoplasmosis and marker for toxoplasmosis screening.

Preterm delivery is associated with higher mortality and morbidity of neonates, also increasestheir risk of having growth and development impairment.This study aimed toidentify the role ofgenital tract infection in preterm delivery. A retrospective study was conducted on medical records of mothers who had preterm delivery in a tertiary hospital in Surakarta, Indonesia during 2017. The data collected were mothers’ age and their gestational age, the history of current pregnancy, the number of previous abortion(s), mothers’ body temperature, the extent of abnormal vaginal discharge, and laboratory findings (white blood cell count, platelet count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin count, hematocrit level, urinalysis and microbiology results). The statistical differences amongst categorical and numerical data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test and the Mann-Whitney test. Based on the patient’s history and the examination results, we suspected genital tract infections in22.52% (25/111)of subjects. All of them had abnormal vaginal discharge despite only one case had been confirmed as streptococcal infection. This study found that the majority of mothers with probable genital tract infection hadpreterm premature rupture of the membrane whilst preeclampsiawas more evident in those without genital tract infection. We conclude that genital tract infection during pregnancy is a significant contributor to the occurence of premature birth so that microbiological testing is needed to confirm the diagnosis.

Atherosclerosis is initiated by inflammatory response characterized by the accumulation of lipids in the arteries, causing blockage of blood vessels. The excessive of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the blood is a major factor in endothelial dysfunction and results in an inflammatory process. The inflammatory process in atherosclerosis is due to the expression of adhesion molecules, vascular cell adhesion molecules-1 (VCAM-1). This research aimed to evaluate the effect of single bulb garlic oil extract (SGBOE) against VCAM-1 expression in high-fat diet mice. Thirty male mice strain Balb/C were acclimatized for one week. Mice were divided into 6 groups (n=5): normal, high-fat diet (HFD), HFD + simvastatin, and HFD + SBGOE 12.5, 25, and 50 mg/kg BW respectively. HFD was given for 45 days. The SGBOE was given for four weeks orally. The aortic VCAM-1 expression was assayed using the immunohistochemical-flouresencemethod. The result of One-Way ANOVA showed that the treatment influenced significantly (p<0.05). The foam cells increase in the high-fat diet group compared than normal mice. Dose 12,5 mg/kg BW reduces VCAM-1 expression near the normal group. Allicin and S-allyl cysteine (SAC) compounds in single bulb garlic are antioxidant compounds that act to prevent oxidative stress and prevention mechanisms against lipoprotein modification.

Helicobacter pylori ( H.pylori ) is an agent that causes gastritis and the ulcer of gaster, which are ultimately caused gastric tumors. The prevalence is about 80 % average in developing country and 20-50 % in developed countries. One of the virulence factor iscytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) that plays a role in the inflammation process,cell proliferation and metaplasia in gastric mucosa. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)is one of angiogenic factors that plays a role in the process of making new mucosal tissue after the inflammation by H.pylori . The escalation of VEGF expression levels contribute to the beginning of gastric carcinogenesis. The studywas aimed to analyze of VEGF serum levels between CagA(+) and CagA(-) in patients with H.pylori gastritis. Cross sectional study was conducted on 30 patients with H.pylori gastritis after conducted gastroscopy,biopsy and CLO test, which were continued with VEGF serum examination using ELISA test and perfomed PCR test to determinethe CagA status.The data was analyzed with SPSS 22 version andp value <0.05 was considered significant.The results of this study were18 men (60 %) and 12 women (46%) from 30 total subjects, with a median age average was 53.5 years old.Majority ethnic was Batak with 16 subjects (53.3%). H elicobacter pylori gastritis with CagA(+) was about 21 subjects (70%) and H.pylori gastritis with CagA(-) was about 9 subjects (30%). We found that median VEGF serum levels of patients with H.pylori gastritis with CagA(+)[480.3 pg/dL (115.5-2185.2)] significantly higher compared to thatwith CagA(-) [291.1 pg/dL (158.4-556.7)] (p<0.05).In conclusion, the VEGF serum levels ofpatients with H.pylori gastritis with CagA(+) is higher compared to that withCagA(-).

Hypertension is a major non-communicable disease worldwide including in Indonesia. It can cuase erectile dysfunction through vasculogenic pathway. Uric acid level could be a promising biomarker to predict erectile dysfunction due to it is related to endothelial dysfunction, microvascular disease, and hypertension. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between hyperuricemia and erectile dysfunction on hypertension patients. This was an observational study with cross-sectional design involving 88 male hypertension patients aged more than 18 years who registered as outpatient in the Bethesda Lempuyangwangi Public Hospital, Yogyakarta. Hyperuricemia was measured using uricase method and erectile dysfunction was measured using IIEF-5 form. The results showed that hyperuricemia (OR=3.89; CI 95% 1.08-15.70; p=0.017), blood pressure (OR=6.84; CI 95% 2.35-20.6; p<0.001), and age (p<0.001) are related with erectile dysfunction on the hypertension patients. Furthermore, logistic regression analysis showed that hyperuricemia, age, and blood pressure simultaneously affect the erectile dysfunction occurance, with good calibration (p=0.167) and discriminative level (0.8604). In conclusion, there is significantly relationship between hyperuricemia and erectile dysfunction on hypertension patients.

Tocotrienols are fat soluble substances members of the vitamin E family with the main properties of antioxidant. They are composed of the chiral center of chromanol ring with polypreniyl side chains. Research suggests that tocotrienols have a number of health benefit, and one of them as an anticancer agent. As an anticancer, tocotrienols could perform in different processes of the multi stages of cancer development and interact with other anticancer medicines and other bioactive substances, suchs geneistein, lovastin, hydroxychavicol, 6- gingerol and sesamin. The anticancer activities occur through their roles as antioxidant, coenzyme, gene expression regulator, and preventing cholesterol synthesis by inhibiting the expression of HMGCR enzyme after transcription, through this method, tocotrienols could control the cholesterol level of cancer cells and prevent the growth of the cancer. Tocotrienols target several signalling pathways at cellular and molecular levels.

The disturbance of cell migration and cell proliferation,diminished production of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase-1 (JNK-1) are important factors in wound healing process. Aloe vera contains active compounds which can help in the wound healing process. Thestudy aimed to investigate the effect of ethanol extract ofA. veraon cell proliferation, cell migration, VEGF-A and JNK-1 expression of skin fibroblast cells of diabetic rats. The primary skin fibroblast cells were isolated from diabetic Wistar rat and incubated with the A. vera extract in various concentrations i.e. 500 (AV500), 250 (AV250), and 125 µg/Ml (AV125) for 24, 48 and 72 h.The cell proliferation was examined visually by counting the cells number, the cell migration was observed using in vitro scratch assay, whereas VEGF-A and JNK-1 expression were examined using RT-PCR. In 24 and 48h incubation,the cell proliferation of AV500 and AV250 groups had higher number of cells than negative control group,but there was no significant difference (p>0.05). However in72 h incubation,the cell proliferation of AV500 group (29.33±1.28x104 cells/mL)was significantly different compared to negative control group (22.91±3.21x104 cells/mL) (p 0.05).The expression of VEGF-A and JNK-1 after incubation with the AV500 for 48 h, weresignificantly higher than those of negative control group (p<0.05).In conclusion, A. vera increases cell proliferation, cell migration, VEGF-A and JNK-1 expression offibroblast cellof diabetic rat skin.
细胞迁移和细胞增殖受到干扰，血管内皮生长因子- a (VEGF-A)和c-Jun n -末端激酶-1 (JNK-1)的产生减少是影响创面愈合过程的重要因素。芦荟含有有助于伤口愈合的活性化合物。本研究旨在探讨牛蒡醇提物的作用。糖尿病大鼠皮肤成纤维细胞VEGF-A和JNK-1表达的变化。分离糖尿病大鼠皮肤成纤维细胞，分别以500 (AV500)、250 (AV250)、125µg/Ml (AV125)三种不同浓度的芦荟提取物孵育24、48、72 h，通过肉眼计数观察细胞增殖，体外划痕法观察细胞迁移，RT-PCR检测VEGF-A和JNK-1表达。孵育24和48h时，AV500组和AV250组细胞增殖数均高于阴性对照组，但差异不显著(p>0.05)。但在培养72 h时，AV500组细胞增殖(29.33±1.28x104细胞/mL)与阴性对照组(22.91±3.21x104细胞/mL)差异有统计学意义(p 0.05)。AV500孵育48 h后VEGF-A、JNK-1的表达显著高于阴性对照组(p<0.05)。综上所述，芦荟可促进糖尿病大鼠皮肤成纤维细胞的增殖、细胞迁移以及VEGF-A和JNK-1的表达。

Many types of eyelid tumors may easily be diagnosed from a clinical point of view. However only a small number of large studies exist exploring the frequency of eyelid lesions from different regions. According to the epidemiology of various eyelid lesions happened in Yogyakarta Special Region, this study was aimed to investigate the prevalence of eyelid tumors in Yogyakarta Special Region. A total of 94 patients were enrolled in a descriptive study. The data were taken retrospectively from the medical record. All patients were diagnosed with eyelid tumors from January 2014 until December 2017 by histopathological examination. Among the subjects, 56 (59.6%) were male and 38 (40.4%) were female. There was no difference found in laterality (OD 46% vs OS 50%). Sebaceous carcinoma was found in 15 (16%) patients, followed by squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) 13 (13.8%), basal cell carcinoma (BCC) 11 (11.7%), epidermoid cyst 7 (7.4%), non-Hodgkin lymphoma 7 (7.4%), and others. We also found that 11 (11.7%) of patients showed an inflammation appearance only. The therapy was varied from extirpation and biopsy (39.4%), wide excision (27.7%), excision and biopsy (18.1%), exenteration (10.6%), and also anterior and lateral orbitotomy (2.1%) for each procedure. The eyelid tumor was found equally in the right and the left eye. Sebaceous carcinoma followed by SCC and BCC were the most common eyelid tumor found in this study. A further study is needed to determine the risk factor of each tumor.
从临床角度来看，许多类型的眼睑肿瘤很容易诊断。然而，只有少数大型研究探索不同区域眼睑病变的频率。根据日惹地区眼睑各种病变的流行病学调查，探讨日惹地区眼睑肿瘤的流行情况。一项描述性研究共纳入94例患者。数据回顾性地取自医疗记录。所有患者均于2014年1月至2017年12月通过组织病理学检查诊断为眼睑肿瘤。其中男性56例(59.6%)，女性38例(40.4%)。在侧侧性方面没有发现差异(OD 46% vs OS 50%)。皮脂腺癌15例(16%)，其次是鳞状细胞癌(SCC) 13例(13.8%)，基底细胞癌(BCC) 11例(11.7%)，表皮样囊肿7例(7.4%)，非霍奇金淋巴瘤7例(7.4%)等。我们还发现11例(11.7%)患者仅表现为炎症。每种手术的治疗方法各不相同，包括摘除和活检(39.4%)、广泛切除(27.7%)、切除和活检(18.1%)、剜出(10.6%)以及前外侧眼窝切开(2.1%)。右眼和左眼均可见眼睑肿瘤。皮脂腺癌、鳞状细胞癌和基底细胞癌是本研究中最常见的眼睑肿瘤。需要进一步的研究来确定每种肿瘤的危险因素。

However only a small number of large studies exist exploring the frequency of eyelid lesions from different regions. According to the epidemiology of various eyelid lesions happened in Yogyakarta Special Region, this study was aimed to investigate the prevalence of eyelid tumors in Yogyakarta Special Region. A total of 94 patients were enrolled in a descriptive study. The data were taken retrospectively from the medical record. All patients were diagnosed with eyelid tumors from January 2014 until December 2017 by histopathological examination. Among the subjects, 56 (59.6%) were male and 38 (40.4%) were female. There was no difference found in laterality (OD 46% vs OS 50%). Sebaceous carcinoma was found in 15 (16%) patients, followed by squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) 13 (13.8%), basal cell carcinoma (BCC) 11 (11.7%), epidermoid cyst 7 (7.4%), non-Hodgkin lymphoma 7 (7.4%), and others. We also found that 11 (11.7%) of patients showed an inflammation appearance only. The therapy was varied from extirpation and biopsy (39.4%), wide excision (27.7%), excision and biopsy (18.1%), exenteration (10.6%), and also anterior and lateral orbitotomy (2.1%) for each procedure. The eyelid tumor was found equally in the right and the left eye. Sebaceous carcinoma followed by SCC and BCC were the most common eyelid tumor found in this study.

Dermal cylindromas are rare benign skin appendageal tumors that has two clinical presentation, solitary and multiple form. The diagnosis is unusual.However, it must be considered in clinical practice.A 51-year-old woman hadpainless nodule on right arm. Skin examinatipn revealedtwo fragmented nodules, 1x0.5x0.5cm, tan to white, and rubbery. Histopathological findings revealed a well demarcated and an unencapsulated epithelial dermal tumor, composed of numerous oval and polygonal nests molded into a "jig-saw" or "mosaic" appearance at low power. The nests of cells were composed of basaloid cells with scant cytoplasm and hyperchromatic nuclei and paler cells at the center. Nests of epithelial cells were surrounded and penetrated by a thickened band of basement membrane material that was PAS-positive. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining with p63 showed positive staining on basaloid cells. Langerhans dendritic cells in the surrounding nests stained positive with CD1a. Solitary dermal cylindroma occurred sporadically in patients without family history of cutaneous cylindromas.Combination of morphologic, histochemystry and immunohistochemystry staining were needed for accurate diagnosis.

Polyherbal formulation (PHF) containing extracts of Sauropus androgynous, Trigonella foenum-graceum and Moringa oleifera has been proven can induce milk production in animal model. However, its molecular of action has not been elucidated, yet. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the PHF on the mRNA expressions of α-actin smooth muscle (ACTA2) and cytokeratin 14 (CK14) on the myoepithelial cells of the lactating rats mammary glands. Thirty female Wistar rats were divided into five groups with six of each. Group I was orally administered aquadest. Group II, III, and IV rats were orally administered the PHF at dose level of 26.25, 52.5, and 105 mg/kg once a day, for 15 days, respectively. Group V was orally administered 2.7 mg domperidone. On 16th day, rats were sacrificed. Mammary glands were isolated and processed for mRNA expression analysis using real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The results demonstrated that the mRNA expression of ACTA2 and CK14 increased in dose-dependent manner in the groups of PHF. Significantly different between the Group III, IV, and V compared to Group I was observed (p 0.05). In conclusion, the PHF increases the mRNA expression of ACTA2 and CK14 on myoepithelial cells of the mammary glands on lactating rats.
