Introduction: Dyslipidemia is a major health problem in Indonesia which leads to other diseases. Triglycerides (TG) is one of the increased lipid fractions which is related to dyslipidemia. Simvastatin is the main therapy in Indonesia to lower TG levels. The use of virgin coconut oil (VCO) becomes popular as a blood cholesterol-lowering agent even though the effects on TG level remains elusive. Since there is no empirical evidence VCO as a complementary therapy of simvastatin on TG levels, this experimental trial is conducted to determine the effect of simvastatin and VCO combination therapy on blood TG levels in dyslipidemic male white rats.Methods: 42 white rats (Rattus norvegicus) divided into 5 treatment groups and preliminary test of dyslipidemia. The blood was collected intracardially and TG level was measured by using spectrophotometric methods. Independent variables are simvastatin and VCO and combination therapy while the dependent variable is TG levels of white rats. The data was afterwards analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test.Results: The control group’s triglyceride plasma level, receiving standard diet, is 59±13,4 mg/dl. The VCO-only group shows 72±35,4 mg/dl while simvastatin-only group shows 61,9±22,6 mg/dl triglyceride level. Combination therapy of simvastatin and VCO shows 62,3±31,3 mg/dl (p>0,05).Conclusion: There were no significant differences between groups with control. However,the use of VCO with particular dose and duration of therapy, will significantly decrease triglyceride level in the blood as effective as simvastatin. VCO has no efficacy while used as combination therapy of simvastatin.

Introduction: Cerebral Palsy is a disease that is less recognized by the public due to the lack of information related to CP in Indonesia. Aims to analyze prenatal risk factors that influence the evidence of CP RSIA Bunda Jakarta.Methods: This study was conducted in April 2021 at RSIA Bunda Jakarta, an analytical study with a case control design. The sample in this study were 124 respondents from mothers of children who underwent outpatient treatment at the RSIA Bunda Jakartaas cases and controls. each taken by simple random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the test chi-square to analyze the relationship between variables.Results: The results of statistical analysis showed that the risk factors associated with the incidence of CP were maternal age (p= 0.00; OR= 13.25; 95% CI= 2.93-59.93), preeclampsia (p= 0.00; OR= 2,06; 95% CI= 1,71-2,48), TORCH (p= 0.00; OR= 2.40; 95% CI= 1.92-3.01), and antenatal care (p= 0.00; OR= 41.2; 95% CI= 5.45-317.0). Conclusion: Risk factors affecting the occurrence of CP in children include age <20 or ≥35 years, preeclampsia, TORCH infection and antenatal care visits <4 times. It is necessary to increase intervention programs at various levels of health services to diagnose and prevent the occurrence of cerebral palsy in children so that optimal maternal and child health is achieved. and further research is needed to determine other risk factors that can cause CP in children such as perinatal and postnatal risk factors.

Introduction: Burden experienced by mother can delayed the success of therapy to ASD children. This study aims to determine the correlation of psychosocial factors and caregiver burden in mothers with ASD children.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional analytic study on mothers with ASD children at the Children's Daycare Dr.Soetomo General Hospital. The research instrument used sociodemographic questionnaire and a Caregiver Burden Assessment (CBA). Results: This study was followed by 26 mothers with ASD children. Results: The results showed that 50% of mothers experienced moderate burdens and 34% experienced severe burdens. The results of the correlation analysis showed a significant relationship between caregiver burden and maternal age (p<0.05, r=0.316) and child age (p<0.05, r=0.274). Support and assistance from others in caring for GSA children also correlated with the mother's caregiver burden (p<0.05, r=0.118). Maternal caregiver burden is not correlated with marital status, education level, occupation, and economic status. Conclusion: Mothers with ASD children experience a psychological burden while caring for ASD children. Psychosocial support and assistance from the environment are urgently needed to reduce the caregiver burden on mothers so that they can improve the outcomes of interventions and therapy for children with ASD.

Introduction: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory tract infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which was announced a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. On March 2, 2020, two confirmed cases of COVID-19 were initially reported in Indonesia. COVID-19 has been reported in 96.2 million people around the world. COVID-19 has already stolen the lives of almost 2 million individuals. Diabetes mellitus patients face an additional challenge with this disease (DM). Several studies have found a link between diabetes mellitus and COVID-19, as well as a bad prognosis for persons with DM and COVID-19. Aim of this study was to learn more about the link between diabetes and COVID-19, as well as the pathophysiology of diabetes.Methods: We searched for articles in PubMed and Google Scholar databases till February 2021, with the following keywords: “SARS-CoV-2”, “COVID-19”, “infection”, “pathogenesis”, “diabetes”Results: Diabetes Mellitus increased the severity and mortality of COVID-19 patients due to mechanisms involving inflammation and immune system activation, increased coagulation activity, oxidative stress, glucotoxicity, endoplasmic reticulum stress, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system disorders, apoptotic mechanisms, mitochondrial dysfunction, and damage to pancreatic beta cells. COVID-19 infection can also lead to hyperglycemia and new-onset diabetes.Conlusion: Diabetes Mellitus is one of the comorbidities linked to a worse COVID-19 prognosis, according to the findings of this literature study. Furthermore, current research suggests that COVID-19 might cause hyperglycemia or new-onset diabetes, which has a poorer prognosis than COVID-19 patients with pre-existing diabetes.

Introduction: Uterine prolapse can occurs due to the failure of the ligamentous and fascial supports of the uterus. It causes inconvenience to the patients because of genital tract dysfunction and decrease quality of life. The risk factor are multifactorial. Advancing age, increasing parity, vaginal delivery, and menopause is associated with the uterine risk factors. The aim of this study is to describe the stage, treatment, age, parity, vaginal delivery, and menopause status of women with uterine prolapse in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya. Methods: This research is a descriptive study. The sample is included all women with complaints of uterine prolapse diagnosed and treated at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya from January – December 2017. Statistical was analysed descriptively.Results: From total 82 patients of uterine prolapse in Gynecology Outpatient Clinic Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya in 2017, most of the uterine prolapse patients were older than 65 years old (45.1%) and multiparous (62.2%). More than half of the patients (61%) have had more than three vaginal deliveries and have gone through menopause (91.5%). Stage IV prolapse, 33 cases (40.2%) has the highest percentage. Mostly, 47 cases (57.3%) received conservative treatment. Conclusion: Uterine prolapse is most likely to be found in women with older age, came from those in the age group of >65 years old. The incidence of uterine prolapse might increase in multiparous women, have more than three vaginal deliveries, and have gone through menopause. Most of them is on stage IV and received conservative treatment. It is important for women to be educated about uterine prolapse risk factor as an uterine prolapse prevention.

Introduction: Pain signals tissue damage that is capable of reducing thequality of life. Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are known as effective analgesic drugs which have various side effects, therefore natural minerals are used as an alternative medicine for pain and inflammation, one of which is known to be coconut water. Hence this research was conducted to find out the differences of the analgesic effect between young coconut water (Cocos nucifera L.) with non-selective and COX-2 selective NSAID on mice induced with pain from acetic acid 0.6% 1 ml/100gBW of mice.Methods: True experimental, conducted at the Pharmacology Laboratory in Faculty of Medicine of Airlangga University involving the sample of 48 mice (6 groups). The recorded data was tested using the oneway ANOVA methodology before then continued with the posthoc test of LSD.Results: The addition of young coconut water (Cocos nucifera L.) with the dosage of 3 ml/100gBW, 4 ml/100gBW, and 4.5 ml/100gBW of mice doesn't give any significant analgesic effect even though the analgesic protection percentage increases accordingly to its dosage (12.32%, 18.72%, 26.88%), but non-selective and COX-2 selective NSAID give significant analgesic effect (p<0.05) on mice induced with pain from acetic acid 0.6% 1 ml/100gBW of mice.Conclusion: There are differences in the analgesic effect of young coconut water (C. nucifera L.) with non-selective and COX-2 selective NSAID on mice induced with pain from acetic acid 0.6% 1 ml/100gBW of mice.

Introduction: Indonesia is a high incidence country of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. There are approximately 11,000 MDR TB cases, 2.8% of them are new cases and 16% of them are relapse cases. Although guidelines for MDR-TB are frequently designed, medication freely provided, and centers for treatment duly expanded, studies on time to sputum culture conversion have been very limited in Indonesia. Therefore the aim of the study is to identify risk factors that effect on sputum and culture conversion.Methods: Data on short-term regimen for MDR TB in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital from January 1st – December 31st, 2018 were collected with a total sampling approach, and fulfill the inclusion and exclusion. Data were analyzed by computer software IBM SPSS Statistic 24 for windows. Results: Male is more likely to have delayed sputum conversion and culture conversion but no statistical difference is observed (p>0.05). Smoking history is more likely to have delayed sputum and culture conversion but only in sputum smear test shows a significant difference (p≤ 0.05). Alcohol consumption has delay effect on sputum and culture conversion but there is statistically difference in only culture conversion (p<0.05). The high baseline smear test also affects delay the sputum and culture conversion but only in sputum smear reveals a significant effect (p<0.05).Conclusion: In this present study, we identified sex, smoking history, high bacillary loads as significant factors on sputum conversion. In addition, we revealed that alcohol-consumption history is a significant factor affecting on culture conversion.
印度尼西亚是耐多药结核病的高发国家。大约有1.1万例耐多药结核病病例，其中2.8%为新发病例，16%为复发病例。虽然经常设计耐多药结核病指南，免费提供药物，适当扩大治疗中心，但在印度尼西亚，关于痰培养转化时间的研究非常有限。因此，本研究的目的是确定影响痰液和培养转化的危险因素。方法:采用全抽样方法收集2018年1月1日- 12月31日Dr. Soetomo总医院耐多药结核病短期治疗方案数据，并进行纳入和排除。采用IBM SPSS Statistic 24 for windows软件对数据进行分析。结果:男性患者痰转化和培养转化延迟发生率较高，但差异无统计学意义(p>0.05)。有吸烟史者更有可能出现痰液和培养转化延迟，但仅在痰涂片检查中有显著差异(p≤0.05)。饮酒对痰液和培养物转化均有延迟作用，但仅培养物转化有统计学差异(p<0.05)。高基线涂片检查也影响延迟痰液和培养转化，但仅在痰涂片中显示显著影响(p<0.05)。结论:在本研究中，我们发现性别、吸烟史、高细菌载量是痰转化的重要因素。此外，我们发现饮酒历史是影响文化转换的重要因素。

Introduction: Ketogenic diet seems to be in a great demand nowadays as a lot of people are interested in adopting it into their lifestyle. It is also found that the ketogenic diet shows several beneficial effects including cancer prevention. However, the detail mechanism still remains unknown. Therefore, this review was aimed to find out the effect of ketogenic diet on Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma-2) expression in cancer.Methods: We searched published literatures in PubMed through 2011-2020 using specific keywords. The literatures were filtered according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Animal model, total sample size, underlying condition/inflammatory process occurs, details of the intervention/diet including diet contents in control group and high-fat group, and the duration of the intervention, Bcl-2 results, and p-value were extracted.Results: 7 studies were included in this review. Bcl-2 expression found decrease in 5 out of 6 studies. Similar result also obtained in Bcl-2 protein level, which measured by western blot. Bcl-2 protein level shows a decrease in 2 out of 3 studies.Conclusion: This review shows that high-fat diet that contained in ketogenic diet most likely lead to decrease in Bcl-2 expression. Therefore, indicating the ability of ketogenic diet to affect cancer progression by inducing apoptosis process.

Introduction: Smoking has been reported as one of tuberculosis (TB) risk factor. The association between smoking and TB has been proven in multiple studies, but little known about the association between smoking degree and sputum smear positive. Methods: An analytic observational study using cross-sectional design. Data of patients with pulmonary TB conducted at DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment Short course)/MDR (Multi Drug Resistance) outpatient and inpatient ward in Dr Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya from January to October 2018. The degree of smoking was measured using Brinkman Index (BI). The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were also estimated.Results: There were 94 patients with pulmonary TB, 56 non-smoker and 38 smoker. Light smoking (P = 0,120, OR = 0.200, 95% CI: 0.022-1.823), moderate smoking (P=0.377, OR = 1.667, 95% CI: 0.533-5.209), heavy smoking (P=0.076, OR= 0.333, 95% CI: 0.96-1.160). Moderate smoking compared to heavy smoking as a control (P=0.33, OR = 5.000, 95% CI=1.096-22.820). Conclusion: There’s no significant correlation between smoking habits and sputum smear positive, but the present study evidenced the patients with smoking habits had greater chance to get sputum smear positive than non-smokers. Patient with moderate smoking compared to heavy smoking had greater chance to get sputum smear positive.

Introduction: Biodiversity of the microorganism in Indonesia lead to the large amount of patient with infection. Human can get infected in two different place, with different kind of bacteria that cause the infection. This may lead to bacteremia without knowing which bacteria type whose causing it, either the Gram positive or Gram negative bacteria, whereas the treatment of this two types of bacteria are different. The aim of this study is to determine the doubling time of the Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria when they are grown in the same lesion and the kinds of bacteria that we need to eliminate first.Methods: Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria were used as samples in this study. Bacterial culture in nutrient broth with 0.5 OD turbidity were mixed then incubated in incubator with 35˚C. Every one hour within 24 hour, 0.01 ml of bacterial culture was taken in serial dilutionover time, varying between 106 – 1012, . It was then planted in nutrient agar plate with droplets technique. After it had been incubated for 24 hours, we counted the Colony Forming Unit per ml (CFU/ml) to time, then the doubling time of the bacteria. The result were then compared between the Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli group.Results: Two tailed t-test result of the doubling time between Staphylococcus aureus dan Escherichia coli was < 0,05 (p=0,000) wich means that there is significant difference of the doubling time between Staphylococcus aureus (24,35 ± 2,23 munites), and Escherichia coli (18,37 ± 0,50 minutes). When grown in the same media, Gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) had slower doubling time than Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) as much as 1.32 times.Conclusion: In bacteremia with two possible kinds of bacterial suspect, we need to eliminate the Gram negative bacteria first.
