Hematuria is a sign of glomerular and non-glomerular kidney disease. Erythrocytes that pass through the glomerulus will change shape to become dysmorphic. Dysmorphic red blood cells (dRBC) can be screened using an automatic urine analyzer based on flowcytometry to distinguish the source of hematuria from glomerular or non-glomerular. The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic performance of the flowcytometry-based dRBC automatic urine analyzer in differentiating glomerular and non-glomerular hematuria. This study used a cross-sectional research design at the Clinical Pathology Installation at RSUD Dr. Moewardi in Surakarta. The subjects of the study were patients with hematuria at the Polyclinic and Internal Medicine Ward, Nephrology sub-division, Pediatric Polyclinic, nephrology sub-division, Urology Surgery Polyclinic in March – July 2021. The diagnostic test was carried out after determining the cut-off value of dRBC with ROC curve and AUC value. The results showed that the cut-off value of dRBC for glomerular and non-glomerular hematuria was 67% and had the best analytical performance with sensitivity 91.07%, specificity 85.36%, AUC 0.890 (95%CI: 0.832–0.947; p=0.000). In this study, dRBC parameters can be used for screening and diagnostics of patients with glomerular and non-glomerular hematuria. Further research needs to be done with other more specific gold standards such as examination of urine sediment with a phase contrast microscope.
血尿是肾小球性和非肾小球性肾脏疾病的标志。通过肾小球的红细胞会改变形状,变得畸形。畸形红细胞(dRBC)可以使用基于流式细胞术的自动尿液分析仪进行筛选,以区分肾小球或非肾小球血尿的来源。本研究的目的是确定基于流式细胞术的dRBC自动尿液分析仪在鉴别肾小球性和非肾小球性血尿中的诊断性能。本研究采用了位于雅加达的RSUD Dr. Moewardi临床病理装置的横断面研究设计。研究对象为2021年3月至7月在该综合诊所、内科病房、肾脏病科、儿科综合诊所、肾脏病科、泌尿外科综合诊所就诊的血尿患者。用ROC曲线和AUC值确定dRBC的截止值后进行诊断试验。结果显示,dRBC对肾小球和非肾小球血尿的临界值为67%,灵敏度为91.07%,特异性为85.36%,AUC为0.890 (95%CI: 0.832 ~ 0.947;p = 0.000)。在本研究中,dRBC参数可用于肾小球性和非肾小球性血尿患者的筛查和诊断。进一步的研究需要用其他更具体的金标准来完成,比如用相衬显微镜检查尿液沉积物。

Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) is the most common cause of death and illness in the world. Increased IL-6 can be used as an early indicator of infection or inflammation. Ginseng is a popular herbal medicine. The anti-inflammatory effect of Ginseng is mediated by its ability to inhibit Nuclear Factor Kappa Beta (NF-kB), a proinflammatory regulator to initiate the synthesis of cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8. Clinical trial research, quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach was carried out on 26 community pneumonia patients who were hospitalized at Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta from October 2020 to January 2021 using purposive sampling. The independent variable was Ginseng extract (GinsanaR) at a dose of 2x100 mg and the dependent variable was serum IL-6 levels. Serum IL-6 levels were measured using the Sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunoabsorbent Assay (ELISA) method. Mean IL-6 levels in the control group on day 0, day 3, and day 14 were 232,89+156,61 pg/mL, 113,46±83.30 pg/mL and 66.18±66.02 pg/mL, respectively (p=<0.001). Mean IL-6 levels in the treatment group on day 0, day 3, and day 14 were 519,55±609,19 pg/mL, 205.41±329.17 pg/mL and 133,59±291,68 pg/mL, respectively (p=<0.001). Delta IL-6 levels in the control group and the treatment group on day 3 compared to day 0, the mean of the IL-6 control group -119,42±111,70 pg/mL, the mean for the IL-6 treatment group -314,14±532,16 pg/mL; On day 14 compared to day 0, the mean of the IL-6 control group was -166,70±135,54 pg/mL, the mean of the IL-6 treatment group was -385,96±547,10 pg/mL; On day 14 compared to day 3, the mean IL-6 control group was -47.28±47.47, the mean IL-6 control group was -71.82±58.16. The post hoc test (Wilcoxon) obtained a p-value < 0.05, suggesting that Ginseng extract has a significant effect on reducing serum IL-6 serum levels in community pneumonia patients.

The standard molecular technique to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus is The Real-Time Reverse-Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (rRT-PCR). It requires sophisticated equipment and a time-consuming sample process. The Cross Priming Amplification (CPA) is a nucleic acid amplification technique that amplifies DNA with high specificity and efficiency under constant thermal conditions. This technique is faster than rRT-PCR and doesn't require a biosafety level-2 (BSL-2) facility. The study aimed to determine the validity of CPA with rRT-PCR as a gold standard and to evaluate its performance as molecular rapid tests for detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA from nasopharyngeal swab specimens. This study was a descriptive diagnostic test by using data retrospectively from swab nasopharyngeal patient samples who were treated at Palabuhan Ratu Hospital with COVID-19 from 01 January to 31 December 2021. The CPA was performed on a total of 52 nasopharyngeal samples at Pelabuhan Ratu Laboratory and rRT-PCR at Provincial Health Laboratory. The validity and correlation tests were performed. The majority of subjects were female between the ages of 34-50 years. The cut-off Tt-value is 3.25, 0.84 Area Under Curve (AUC), with a p-value <0.001. The CPA has good validity for COVID-19 diagnosis with 77% sensitivity, 94% specificity, 96% PPV, and 71% NPV. The sensitivity was increasing with Ct-value <30 (82%) and Ct-value <25 (87%). The CPA had a good validity for the COVID-19 diagnostic test. The CPA could be used as a rapid molecular test for detecting SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA from nasopharyngeal swab specimens.

Sepsis can occur in patients with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) symptoms, especially in neonates due to their underdeveloped immune systems. Blood culture as the gold standard test to diagnose sepsis in SIRS patients takes a long time to perform. The other rapid test parameters are needed to support the early diagnosis of infection (sepsis) in SIRS patients, including Immature Granulocytes (IG%) and C-Reactive Protein (CRP). This study aimed to determine the correlation between IG% with blood culture and CRP with blood culture in neonatal SIRS patients at Gambiran Hospital, Kediri. The research design used retrospectively using secondary data. A total of 63 samples were obtained using simple random sampling on the medical record of neonatal SIRS patients who met the inclusion criteria, without any exclusion criteria. There were significant results with a value of p=0.000 (p < 0.05) between IG% and blood culture using the Mann-Whitney test, as well as on CRP and blood culture using the independent samples T-test. The bivariate statistical test between IG% and CRP was carried out using the Spearman test and showed significant results with p=0.000 (p < 0.05) with a correlation coefficient (rs) of 0.740, which indicated a strong positive relationship. It was concluded that there was a correlation between IG% and CRP with blood culture in neonatal SIRS patients.

Management of acute ischemic stroke patients based on their severity in emergency services is critical. One of the easy, fast, and affordable biochemical markers is serum sodium and albumin, which correlate with the severity of acute ischemic stroke. This research aimed to analyze the correlation of serum sodium and albumin levels with the severity of acute ischemic stroke. This retrospective study used medical record data of 165 acute ischemic stroke patients for the period January 2018-April 2021 at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar. Patients were classified according to the degree of mild, moderate, or severe stroke through the NIHSS score. Examination of serum sodium was done by Electrolyte Analyzer NOVA 5 and albumin with ABX Pentra 400. Data normality test Kolmogorov-Smirnov. The statistical test used the Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, and Spearman (significant if p<0.05). There was a negative correlation between serum albumin levels and the severity of stroke patients (p<0.001; r= -0.327). There was no significant association between serum sodium and ischemic stroke severity. There was a statistically significant difference in serum albumin levels in patients with mild and moderate stroke (p=0.001), mild and severe (p=0.001). Albumin correlates the outcome of acute ischemic stroke patients (p<0.001), cut-off ≤ 3.25 g/dL (sensitivity 66.7%, specificity 50%). Hypoalbuminemia exacerbates cytotoxic edema by causing water and ions to cross the blood-brain barrier to the astrocytes resulting in further neuron damage. Albumin has a correlation with the NIHSS score (p<0.001; r= -0.327). The lower the albumin level, the higher the NIHSS score, indicating the ischemic stroke severity.

An automatic hematology analyzer is an essential instrument for the modern laboratory. A new hematology analyzer must undergo comparability testing with a currently used hematology analyzer. This study aimed to compare the performance of the Dymind DH-76 and Sysmex XN-1000 hematology analyzers. This study involved 96 EDTA blood samples from patients aged 18 to 85 years old at a hospital in Jakarta. A complete blood count was performed on each blood sample using two above-mentioned analyzers Dymind DH-76 and Sysmex XN-1000. The results from both instruments were compared by using the Pearson correlation test and the Passing-Bablok regression analysis to determine the agreement in performance between the two instruments. Between the Dymind DH-76 and Sysmex XN-1000, there was a high degree of agreement and correlation concerning the investigated parameters with r > 0.900 and p<0.001 for the parameters RBC, HGB, WBC, HCT, MCV, MCH, and neutrophil, monocyte, and eosinophil counts. The MCHC parameter had the values of r=0.797; p=0.0001, while the lymphocytes parameter had r=0.734 and p=0.0001. Only the basophils parameter showed a different result between the two aforementioned analyzers, with r=-0.179 and p=0.102. The majority of complete blood count parameters showed an excellent correlation and a high degree of agreement between the two instruments. The Dymind DH-76 hematology analyzer meets international standards (National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards/NCCLS) and can be used for hematological assay in the laboratory.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major health problem worldwide. The bacteriological diagnosis of TB is confirmed by a sputum smear, which shows a positive result. Sputum culture conversion at two months of TB therapy has a higher possibility of completing therapy; however, this method is time-consuming and expensive. This study aimed to analyze the initial smear and smear conversion of sputum in the intensive phase therapy as a prognostic determinant of appropriate time-targeted therapy. This was a retrospective study on pulmonary TB patients collected from January 2016 to December 2017. The research subjects at the beginning of the intensive phase were divided into Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB)-negative and AFB-positive (1+, 2+, 3+) sputum smears. The sputum smear examination was evaluated at the end of the intensive phase and the end of the six-month treatment. The pulmonary TB patients in this study were 430 patients, dominated by males with the main distribution age of 45-54 years. At the beginning of the intensive phase, the negative results of the AFB examination were 85.4% and the total positive results with 1+, 2+, or 3+ were 14.6%. At the end of the intensive phase, the sputum smear examination of all patients showed 100% conversion, and the sputum smear examination at the end of six months of treatment showed negative results. This study has revealed that sputum conversion at the end of the 2-month intensive phase can be used as a prognostic determinant of timely complete therapy on pulmonary tuberculosis.

The bacteriological diagnosis of TB is confirmed by a sputum smear, which shows a positive result. Sputum culture conversion at two months of TB therapy has a higher possibility of completing therapy; however, this method is time-consuming and expensive. This study aimed to analyze the initial smear and smear conversion of sputum in the intensive phase therapy as a prognostic determinant of appropriate time-targeted therapy. This was a retrospective study on pulmonary TB patients collected from January 2016 to December 2017. The research subjects at the beginning of the intensive phase were divided into Acid-Fast Bacilli (AFB)-negative and AFB-positive (1+, 2+, 3+) sputum smears. The sputum smear examination was evaluated at the end of the intensive phase and the end of the six-month treatment. The pulmonary TB patients in this study were 430 patients, dominated by males with the main distribution age of 45-54 years. At the beginning of the intensive phase, the negative results of the AFB examination were 85.4% and the total positive results with 1+, 2+, or 3+ were 14.6%. At the end of the intensive phase, the sputum smear examination of all patients showed 100% conversion, and the sputum smear examination at the end of six months of treatment showed negative results.

Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreatic parenchyma and diagnosed based on symptoms of heartburn accompanied by increased levels of pancreatic enzymes. Acute pancreatitis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia in addition to being caused by therapy can also be caused by other factors. 13-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia complained of heartburn which was felt through to the back. Patients also experience nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, difficulty in bowel movements, and fever. Physical examination found an increase in body temperature, anemic eyes, multiple neck gland enlargement, and enlargement of the liver. The results of complete blood tests showed leukocytosis, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. The results of examination of bone marrow aspiration show a picture of the bone marrow in accordance with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL-L2). Clinical chemistry tests showed an increase in amylase, lipase, SGOT, BUN, creatinine, LDH, ferritin, calcium, and procalcitonin. The patient has never received chemotherapy for the ALL. Acute pancreatitis in ALL in addition to being caused by administration of leukemia can also be caused by sepsis conditions which are complications of the ALL. ALL patients who experience acute pancreatitis in this case show a poor prognosis.

Sepsis is a medical emergency that describes systemic inflammation reaction to infectious process that can lead to organ dysfunction and death. Sequential Organ Failure Assesment (SOFA) score is used to assess severity of organ dysfunction in septic patients. Immature platelet fraction (IPF) value can be used to evaluate thrombopoiesis. Research shows IPF can provide information regarding inflammatory activity and disease prognosis. A high IPF value in septic patient indicates the formation and recruitment of immature platelets that are triggered by infection. The aim of this study was to determine correlation between IPF value and SOFA score in sepsis patients. This was an analytical study with a cross-sectional design in 28 patients with sepsis who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and conducted IPF tests at Central Laboratory of Dr M. Djamil Padang Hospital. The study was conducted from February 2020 to March 2021. Value of IPF was performed using automated hematology analyzer with flow cytometry method and SOFA scores are assessed by clinicians and obtained from medical records. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation test, significant if p <0.05. Median value of IPF in patients with sepsis was 4.8 (1.4-15.7) %. Median of SOFA score in patients with sepsis was 5,5 (2-12). Correlation test showed a strong positive correlation between IPF values and SOFA score with r= 0.684 and p <0.05. There was a strong positive correlation between IPF values and SOFA score in sepsis.
败血症是一种医学紧急情况,描述了感染过程的全身炎症反应,可导致器官功能障碍和死亡。序贯器官衰竭评估(SOFA)评分用于评估脓毒症患者器官功能障碍的严重程度。未成熟血小板分数(IPF)值可用于评价血小板生成。研究表明,IPF可以提供有关炎症活动和疾病预后的信息。脓毒症患者的高IPF值表明未成熟血小板的形成和募集是由感染引发的。本研究的目的是确定脓毒症患者IPF值与SOFA评分之间的相关性。这是一项分析性研究,采用横断面设计,纳入28例符合纳入和排除标准的败血症患者,并在M. Djamil Padang医生医院中央实验室进行IPF测试。该研究于2020年2月至2021年3月进行。IPF值采用流式细胞术自动血液学分析仪测定,SOFA评分由临床医生评估并从病历中获取。数据分析采用Pearson相关检验,p <0.05有统计学意义。脓毒症患者IPF的中位值为4.8(1.4-15.7)%。脓毒症患者的SOFA评分中位数为5,5(2-12)。相关检验显示IPF值与SOFA评分呈正相关,r= 0.684, p <0.05。脓毒症患者IPF值与SOFA评分呈正相关。

Down Syndrome (DS) is one of the common chromosomal disorders that raise mental retardation. It is known that DS patients have an autoimmune disorder affecting the endocrine and non-endocrine organs. It is a rare occurrence of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (type 2 DM) disease in children with DS. Type 2 DM occurs due to impaired insulin secretion and excessive hepatic glucose production, unlike type 1 DM, caused by the destruction of íŸ-cells in autoimmune Langerhans. A 10-year-old girl patient was referred from Tabanan Hospital to Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar. Patients were admitted to the hospital with decreased consciousness, treated for four days, and observed in ICU for 2 days. Vomiting twice, no seizures, urinating normally. No significant past medical history was found. Physical examinations showed a typical Mongolian face, short neck, expanded occipital area, small eyes, and a mouth with a prominent tongue. Laboratory data revealed fasting blood glucose of 473 mg/dL and an HbA1C level of 12.6%. Urinalysis showed ketone 3+. The C-peptide test showed a reasonably good íŸ pancreas cell function. Down syndrome is associated with autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes. The exact number of down syndrome cases with type 2 DM remains unknown; however, it was known that the case is infrequent.
