The effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as one of the conservative therapy for CTS is still debatable. High-intensity laser therapy (HILT) is developed with higher energy and deeper tissue penetration than LLLT. This study aimed to compare the effect of HILT and LLLT on sensory and motoric electrophysiologic parameters in moderate CTS patients. This was an experimental randomized pre and post-test group study. Sixteen patients (fifteen females and one male) with moderate CTS were randomly assigned into two groups. The HILT group was given HILT with analgesic dosage 10 J/cm2 and biostimulation dosage 120 J/cm2. The LLLT group was given LLLT with dosage 6 J/cm2. All treatments were given for ten sessions in 2 weeks. Combined sensory index (CSI), sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV), and distal motoric latency (DML) were recorded before and three days after the last treatment. The mean decrease of CSI was more significant in HILT group (-0.37±0.37 ms; p=0.03). There were no significant differences in the mean increase of SNCV (HILT = 3.16±3.15 m/s, LLLT= 2.74±1.42 m/s; p=0.73) and mean decrease in DML between two groups (HILT = - 0.20 ± 0.18 ms , LLLT = - 0.14 ± 0.21 ms; p=0.52). In conclusion, the HILT is more effective than LLLT in improving the CSI values in moderate CTS patients.","PeriodicalId":17474,"journal":{"name":"Journal of thee Medical Sciences (Berkala Ilmu Kedokteran)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91505799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between serum HbA1c levels and the healing process of postoperative fractures in DM patients. This was an observational study with a retrospective cohort design. The study population was DM patients who were admitted to the Department of Emergency, Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo General Hospital, Makassar due to long bone fracture within the period of September 2019-February 2020. The bone fractures healing was evaluated based on the radiographic union scale in tibial fractures (RUST) scores. The results are analysed using the Chi-square test. A total of 70DM patients who underwent fracture reduction surgery were involved in this study. Out of 35 patients with controlled DM (HbA1c 7%), and there were 13 (37.1%) patients and 22 (62.9%) patients with good and delayed union, respectively. The Chi-square test showed a significant relationship (p= 0.008). It can be concluded that the increase in HbA1c levels was related to the obstacles in bone fractures healing.

Treatments were divided into two groups i.e. the treatment groups after incubation with tagitinin Cat various concentration of 1, 0.5, 0.25, and 0.125μg/ mL for 72 h, and the control group using culture media without tagitinin C. Following after incubation, the VEGF and TNF-α levels of keloid fibroblast culture supernatant were measured by ELISA. Kruskal-Wallis test continued using Mann-Whitney test or one way Anova continued by independent t test were applied to evaluate the differences between groups. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The VEGF levels significantly decreases in concentration-dependent manner after treatment of the tagitinin C at various concentrations (p<0.05). However, no significantly difference in TNF-α levels was observed (p> 0.05). In conclusion, tagitinin C decreases the VEGF expression of keloid fibroblasts.

Insulin resistance has been implicated in the pathophysiology of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is a spectrum of diseases ranging from hepatic steatosis on one end to steatohepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma on the other end. In most parts of the developed world, it is now the most commoncause of chronic liver disease and the most commonindication for liver transplantation. A similar findingis emerging in the developing world due to the rising prevalence of obesity and widespread adoption of Western lifestyles. Despite these epidemiological data, there are no universally approved medications for the treatment of NAFLD. The pathophysiological mechanisms of NAFLD essentially include adipose tissue insulin resistance, hepatic insulin resistance, inflammation and fibrosis. At the subcellular level, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative changes and endoplasmic reticulum dysfunction have been documented. Several drugs have been tested in vitro and in animal studies to target these pathophysiological mechanisms. Some are presently going through clinical trials, while others have already gone through clinical trials with variable results. Other potential target sites of drug development for the treatment of NAFLD are based on the complex pathophysiology of the disease. Insulin resistance plays an important role in the development of NAFLD. There are potential targets in the pathophysiology of NAFLD that can be explored in the development of medications for the disease.","PeriodicalId":17474,"journal":{"name":"Journal of thee Medical Sciences (Berkala Ilmu Kedokteran)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88900151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Testicular torsion is more common on the left with a 1.2: 1 ratio, which is probably caused by a slightly longer spermatic cord on the left2. Testicular torsion can occur at any age, but the peak incidence is at age 14, with a peak of second occurrence at 1 year of age3. At 1 year of age, testicular torsion is a major cause of acute scrotum (83%). At the age of 3 - 13 years, the most frequent diagnosis is the torsion of the testicular appendix. After the age of 17 years, epididymitis is the most frequent diagnosis (75%)4. \u0000 \u0000Method: This study is an experimental study, post-test only control group design, the sample was randomly divided into 4 groups, 2 intervention groups and 2 control groups. In this study the independent variables are the duration of the right torsion-detection treatment of the testes and the injection of Methylprednisolone in Wistar male rats. The dependent variables are mRNA expression in apoptosis and anti-apoptosis genes in rats’ ipsilateral and contralateral testes. \u0000. \u0000Results and Discussion: In this study, two-way ANOVA is used to analyze data between groups. Significant decrease in BAX gene mRNA expression (p <0.05) with Methylprednisolone was present when group 2 (TD) was compared with group 4 (TD-MP). Significant increase in the expression of BCL-2 anti-apoptotic gene (p <0.05) with Methylprednisolone was present when group 1 (T) was compared with group 3 (T-MP). When group 2 (TD) compared with group 4 (TD-MP) also showed a significant increase in the expression of BCL-2 anti-apoptotic gene (p <0.05). \u0000 \u0000Conclusion: The administration of Methylprednisolone in the case of testicular torsion proved to be significant in increasing the expression of the BCL-2 gene that could be a protective mechanism against germ cell apoptosis in testicular tissue.","PeriodicalId":17474,"journal":{"name":"Journal of thee Medical Sciences (Berkala Ilmu Kedokteran)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86013904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
