Background: Urinary tract infection is one of the most common infectious diseases and the second most common infection after respiratory tract infection. Bacteria are the most common cause of urinary tract infections in more than 95% of cases. Escherichia coli is the most common bacteria that found in 80-90% of cases of urinary tract infection. The critical virulence factor of Escherichia coli is the type 1 fimbriae with the adhesion subunit, fimH, plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of urinary tract infection.

Aim: The research aims to obtain the optimal condition of PCR in detecting the fimH gene with modification of annealing temperature in the PCR process.

Method: This study used a sample of fimH DNA genes from clinical isolates of E. coli causing UTI. The second PCR used an annealing temperature of 57°C and a third PCR using an annealing temperature of 64°C. The electrophoresis results are then viewed with an ultraviolet transilluminator.

Result: The optimization finding showed that the annealing temperature of 52 °C, 57 ° C, and 64°C could detect the fimH gene where the higher the temperature used by T_m, the less the specificity produced.

Conclusion: The optimum annealing temperature of PCR to identify the fimH gene from E.coli causes the UTI is in the temperature of 64°C with better specificity than of 52°C. The annealing temperature of 64°C indicates the lowest specificity.

Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancer in Indonesia. The etiology of colorectal cancer is still unknown, but many risk factors believed may causing colorectal cancer, one of them is fiber intake of foods consumed every day like vegetables, fruits, and peanuts.

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood sugar levels, either caused by a disturbance of insulin secretion, insulin resistance or both. Obesity is one of the risk factors of diabetes mellitus. The incidence of diabetes mellitus increases from year to year, but the data that discusses the association of risk factors with diabetes mellitus itself, especially obesity is minimum. The purpose of this study is to determine the association of abdominal circumference with fasting blood sugar levels at students of Udayana University Faculty of Medicine class of 2014.

Method: This research is an analytical research conducted at Udayana University Faculty of Medicine Campus, Denpasar. Data obtained in the form of primary data in the form of abdominal circumference to see the status of obesity and fasting blood sugar to see the status of diabetes mellitus. Data were analyzed using SPSS program.

Result: The results showed that there was not significant negative association between abdominal circumference with fasting blood sugar levels at Udayana University, Faculty of Medicine students class of 2014. However, this association is not statistically significant because diabetes mellitus influenced by many factors other than obesity. In addition, it can be seen that the characteristics of the population did not describe the population of diabetes mellitus or obesity, thus affecting associations that have been described in some literature and the concept of author thinking. But indeed the association of anthropometric risk factors (abdominal circumference) has a greater value than other risk factors.

Conclusion: There was a negative correlation between abdominal circumference and fasting blood sugar but not significant statistically

Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the third malignant disease in Indonesia. Obesity is one of the risk factors related to colorectal cancer. This research aims to role out relationships between obese and age to the incidence of colorectal cancer at Sanglah General Hospital.

Method: Study design using case-control analytic model, covering 274 samples, divided into the group of colorectal cancer (137 persons) and non-cancer samples (137 persons). Secondary data were used for analysis obtained from medical records in year period of 2016-2017 at Sanglah General Hospital. Data were analyzed using Chi-square analysis and risk estimate model.

Result: The result showed that the majority of colorectal cancer patients were male (53.3%), meanwhile for non-cancer patients were female (50.4%). The average age of colorectal cancer patients was 54 years old while 42 years for non-colorectal cancer patients. Based on the BMI groups, majority of cancer colorectal patients (62%) belongs to obese, while only 39.4% for non-colorectal cancer patients. Result of analysis showed that there is significant relationship between obese and the incidence of colorectal cancer (p value <0.001), with the risk increase of prevalence by 1.588 times higher for those patients with BMI ≥23.00 kg/m² (95% CI 1.235-2.040). Result from the Chi-square test also indicated that there is significant relationship between age above 40 years and the incidence of colorectal cancer (p value <0.001).

Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is significant relationships between obese and age above 40 years to the incidence of colorectal cancer.

Introduction: Fracture is a loss of bone continuity, either total or partial, usually caused by trauma. Fractures in children are more common due to the immature musculoskeletal system, this is because the child is more susceptible to tears on joint surfaces, epiphyseal plates, aphophyseal insertion of large tendon muscle units. This study aims to determine the prevalence of elbow fracture in children at Sanglah Hospital Denpasar in 2012 until 2013.

Method: Study design using cross-sectional method, evaluating the characteristics of elbow fracture in children at Sanglah General Hospital in the period 2012 to 2013.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by defect in two or more ectodermal structures such as teeth, hair, nails and sweat glands. Ectodermal dysplasia divided into 2 types, which is hidrotic and hypohidrotic. The hypohidrotic type was found in 80% of cases. There is no specific treatment for this disorder, which is more of a symptomatic measures depends on the structure involved.

Case: A 1 year old male, Balinese, consulted from Department of Pediatrics to Department of Dermatovenereology with the chief complaint of dry skin, absence of sweat, teeth, scalp hair and eyebrow since birth. Recurrent fever present especially in hot climates. No growth abnormalities. No history of incest between parents. His grandfather also complained about the same symptoms, which are sparse hair and decreased sweating. General examination revealed frontal bossing, saddle nose, prominent chin and anodontia. Dermatologic examination revealed multiple hypopigmented macules, well defined margin, oval-round shaped, size ø 0,5-1 cm, distributed over entire skin and anhidrosis. Department of Dermatovenereology gives moisturizer every 12 hours topically. Department of Pediatrics gives zinc tablets, 20 mg every 24 hours orally.

Conclusion:The diagnosis of ED was mainly clinical. Treatment is symptomatic and effective education is needed to increase patient's quality of life. Early fetal detection can be performed if there is a risk in the family. Currently, there is a team joined under SIDIC program in Sanglah Hospital whose main purpose is to detect and prevent congenital disorders early.

Background: First ten months from conception is a period of susceptibility to infection. Diagnostic testing for disease must be conducted as quickly as possible for antimicrobial administration. Blood culture, the 'gold standard' for diagnosis, is full of shortcomings. Decreasing protein C levels are characteristic of sepsis due to an increase in consumption, degradation, or decreased synthesis, so that the onset of protein C deficiency may occur before the diagnosis of sepsis.

Aim: The study aimed to determine the difference in mean serum C protein levels in septic neonatorum in which positive cultures compared with negative cultures

Methods: The sample in this study were septic neonatorum patients in the perinatology unit of H. Adam Malik General Hospital Medan by consecutive sampling technique. The blood was incubated in BACTEC 9050 and identified with gram staining, gram-positive identified by catalase, coagulase and MSA tests, while gram-negative with API 20E. Protein C was examined with Coatron A4. A bivariate analysis determined differences in protein C in septic neonatorum with positive and negative cultures.

Result: The prevalence of positive culture sepsis was 36.1%. The most common pathogens were Staphylococci epidermidis (19.4%). There was no significant difference in protein C levels between the septic neonatorum with positive and negative cultures (p = 0.166). Positive culture sepsis is a risk factor associated with protein C decreasing with p = 0.011. Positive culture sepsis had a higher risk of reducing protein C levels by 7.536 times compared to negative culture sepsis.

Conclusion: There were no significant differences in protein C levels between septic neonatorum with positive and negative cultures, but sepsis was significantly associated with a decrease in C protein levels.

Background: Atherosclerosis in CAD is marked by formation of plaque inside the arterial lumen. Platelet plays a role on formation and development of atherosclerosis. Adhesion of platelets to the endothelial cells followed by releasing platelet granules caused inflammation of endothel. Lymphocytes also play a role in atherosclerosis and atherotrombosis. T lymphocyte was the first to be recruited inside atheromas and gathered along inside an unstable plaque. The severity of stenosis can be calculated using Gensini score. The Aim of this study is to analyze the correlation between PLR and degree of stenosis in CAD.

Methods. This study is a retrospective study by collected 110 patients with CAD that had undergone coronary Angiography. Platelets and lymphocyte count were measured by automatic haematologycal analyzer. PLR was measured by dividing trombocyte count with absolute lymphocyte. Angiography findings were calculated using Gensini score and later devided into 3 groups according to degree of severity.

Results. 110 patients retrospectively assesed, 80% were male and 20% female. The most age found was 50-59 years (35.5%). Using Anova test there is a significant differences on  PLR between 3 groups of lesions (p<0.05). Continued with Posthoc test, the only significant finding was PLR between moderate and severe lesion. By Spearman’s Correlation test, there is a positif colleration between PLR and severity of stenosis (p<0.048), with R value 0.189 (3.6%).

Conclusions. There was a poor correlation between PLR and degree of stenosis severity in CAD. A prospective study needed to assess PLR as predictor of mortality and morbidity in CAD.

Background: Platelet refractoriness is a problem in the implementation of platelet transfusion. It is a lack of increased platelets after platelet transfusion. This study aimed to analyze the increase in platelet counts of patients who received apheresis platelet transfusion by using Corrected Count Increment (CCI) formula at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo General Hospital Makassar.

Methods: This was an observational cross sectional study with 242 thrombocytopenia patients. The success of platelet transfusion was calculated using the CCI formula with CCI values after transfusion of 4.5 x 10⁹/L at 24 hours post transfusion. Statistical analysis used chi square, t-independent, and spearmen’s correlation test, with significant test results if p-value was < 0.05.

Results: An average increase of platelet counts was 28.5 x 10⁹/L. Successful thrombocyte transfusion was found in 107 subjects (44.2%) and unsuccessful in 135 subjects (55.8%). The proportion of successful transfusion was found to be higher in men (45.5%) than women (43.2%), however, it was not significant (p > 0.05). There was a significant relationship between young age and successful thrombocyte transfusion (p < 0.001). Unsuccessful transfusion rate was high in cases of malignancy, infection, bleeding, and metabolic disease (p < 0.05).

Conclusions: There was a significant negative correlation between age and CCI, older age presented lower value of CCI. Characteristics of disease affected the successful of apheresis thrombocyte transfusion.

Background: CKD is a world health problem with an increasing incidence, having a poor prognosis and requiring expensive treatment costs. Cardiovascular disease is the cause of high mortality rates in CKD patients due to inflammation. Neutrophil to lymphocytes ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratios (PLR) are considered as inflammatory markers that are cheap, fast and easily calculated from the routine blood examination. This study aimed to know the value of RNL and RTL in CKD patients before and after HD as the initial marker of inflammation.

Method: Eighty-eight patients with CKD were divided into three groups before HD, after the first HD, and after the third HD. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-lymphocyte ratio are calculated based on the results of routine blood tests. Data distribution was tested with Kolmogorov-Smirnov and analyzed by appropriate data testing.

Results: RNL and RTL values in CKD patients after HD increased compared to before HD (p <0.05). There is a weak correlation between RNL values and serum urea levels. However, the RTL value only correlates with urea before hemodialysis.

Conclusion: There are differences in RNL and RTL values in CKD patients before HD, after the first HD and third HD. There is a correlation between the RNL value and the state of uremia that is aggravated by HD

Background : Acute appendicitis associated with acute phase reaction is the most prevalent disease which requires emergency surgery.

This study aimed to evaluate the preand post ERCP serum amylase in pancreatic cancer patients.

Method: Observational retrospective using data from pancreatic cancer patients in January 2017 - January 2018 at the Laboratory of Clinical Medicine and Mechanical Installation of Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar. Data were analysed using SPSS version 22 software for windows.

Results: Total of 39 pancreatic cancer subject aging 31–93 years were found, most of them were women. PreERCP amylase levels with a value of 167.5 ± 235.6 as against of 137.5 ± 159.4 in post ERCP. Some subject showed a decreased level and some showed an increased level. Statistical tests did not show significant results (Wilcoxon-signed rank test p> 0.05).

Background: Sub-optimal nutritional status in Indonesia is still a continuing problem. There is no significant change in the prevalence of sub-optimal nutritional status. First 1000 days of life is a golden period of brain development. Failure of providing adequate nutrition can lead to the deviation of child development.

Objective: To investigate the association between wasting nutritional status and delayed child development

Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in this study. Fifty eligible subjects were taken from April 2018 to July 2018 using consecutive sampling methods. Characteristics such as child age, sex, exclusive breastfeeding status, birth weight, birth height, current weight, current height, nutritional status, prematurity, and mother’s working status recorded. Child nutritional status was recorded and assessed with the WHO growth chart. Child developmental status was measured with the pre-screening development questionnaire (KPSP). Score ≤ 8 was assumed as a deviation in child developmental status.

Results: Wasting nutritional status is significantly associated with child development (p=0.041, CI -0.013-0.096). Prevalence ratio is 3.5 shows that wasting nutritional status is a risk factor for delayed child development. Domain for child developmental delay was 54,5% has language & speech delay, 36,4% has a gross motor delay, and 9,1% has social & independency delay.

Conclusion: There is an association between wasting nutritional status and delayed child development. The most often child developmental delay found is speech delay.
