Diagnosis of T1D can be established by examining the c-peptide levels and the markers of pancreatic autoantibodies, including glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 autoantibodies (GAD-65). However, the association between c-peptide and anti-GAD-65 toward patients’ clinical manifestations needs to be further explored. Hence, the aim of current study was to identify the association of anti-GAD65 with c-peptide and clinical characteristics in children with T1D.METHODS: Case-control study involving 47 T1D children (T1D group) and 41 healthy children (control group) younger than 18 years old was conducted. Secondary data regarding subjects’ demographic characteristics and medical history were collected from subjects, and serum blood was drawn from each subject for the anti-GAD65 and c-peptide measurement. Anti-GAD65 and c-peptide levels were measured using an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) methods.RESULTS: Anti-GAD65 antibody was detected in 78.7% T1D group, while only 2.43% were detected in control group subject (p=0.0000). The c-peptide level of T1D group was 0.07±0.19 nmol/L and control group was 1.5±0.77 nmol/L (p=0.0000). The total daily dose of insulin in subjects with positive anti-GAD65 was greater than in the negative anti-GAD65 (p=0.012). The sensitivity and specificity of the anti-GAD65 were 85.4% was 66.7%, respectively.CONCLUSION: The results of this study show that anti-GAD65 was associated with total daily dose of insulin requirement in children with T1D.KEYWORDS: diabetes mellitus, type 1 diabetes, anti-GAD65, c-peptide","PeriodicalId":22516,"journal":{"name":"The Indonesian Biomedical Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78861450","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}

At the present time, the role of serum adenosine deaminase (ADA) and hematological tests in ITB patients are not widely known. The objective of this study was to determine the role of ADA and hematological tests in patients suspected with ITB.METHODS: Subjects that were suspected of ITB were classified as ITB group, while subjects with inflammatory bowel disease, hemorrhoid, and intestinal malignancy were classified as non-ITB group. Colonoscopy, histopathological examinations, and hematological test were performed. ADA measurement was also performed with clinical chemistry analyzer based on enzymatic colorimetry principle.RESULTS: Out of 143 subjects, 16 (11.2%) subjects were diagnosed with ITB and 127 (88.8%) subjects were classified as non-ITB group. ADA level and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) of ITB group were significantly higher than the ones of non-ITB group (p<0.05). Cut-off, sensitivity, and specificity of ADA level were 12.56 IU/L, 75%, and 57%, respectively. Cut-off, sensitivity, and specificity of ESR were 32.5 mm/hour, 81%, and 62%, respectively. Colonoscopy of ITB subjects displayed multiple ulcerations, edema, and hyperemic mucosa. Histopathological examination of ITB subjects exhibited granulomatous inflammation, epitheloid cells, giant cells, and lymphocyte aggregates.CONCLUSION: ADA level and ESR were significantly higher among ITB patients compared with non-ITB patients. Since the sensitivities of ADA and ESR tests were high, the ADA and ESR tests could be considered as a screening test for ITB.KEYWORDS: intestinal tuberculosis, adenosine deaminase, hematological tests","PeriodicalId":22516,"journal":{"name":"The Indonesian Biomedical Journal","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73451784","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}

In this study, stem cell culture medium was subjected to electric field stimulation using the cells alive system (CAS) to determine the antiaging effects of this medium on dermal fibroblasts.METHODS: The medium was added to the monolayer cultures of human fibroblasts with or without 100 μg/mL advanced glycation end products (AGE), and the cells were incubated for 4 hours. Total RNA was extracted, and mRNA levels of several AGE receptors and heat shock proteins were measured using quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain rection (qRT-PCR).RESULTS: Similar amounts of exosomes were extracted from the supernatants of stem cells cultured with (CAS+) and without (CAS−) electric field stimulation. The results demonstrated that CAS+ had a higher oxygen radical absorbance capacity than CAS−, indicating its high antioxidant activity. Furthermore, the expression of domain-containing link scavenger receptor-1 mRNA, which is involved in the degradation of cell surface receptors for AGE under glycation stress, significantly increased. The electric field stimulation also increased the expression of several heat shock proteins, which play important roles in cellular responses generated against glycation stress. The electric field stimulation of the stem cell culture medium effectively promoted the endocytosis and degradation of AGE, thereby exerting antioxidant effects and inducing glycation stress.CONCLUSION: Electric field stimulation of stem cell culture medium enhanced the expression of Hsp and its antioxidant activity in fibroblasts.KEYWORDS: AGE, electric field stimulation, exosome, fibroblast, oxygen radical absorbance capacity, stem cell","PeriodicalId":22516,"journal":{"name":"The Indonesian Biomedical Journal","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84021003","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}

Serum samples were obtained from consented subjects. Thyroid profile, thyroid antibodies, antioxidant and oxidant profiles, as well as cathepsin S (CTSS), prolactin, and estradiol levels were estimated using specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. The data was analyzed using independent Student's t-test and Pearson correlation test.RESULTS: BC cases had higher levels of thyroid antibodies and thyroid stimulating hormone than controls. Prolactin and estradiol levels were also deranged in the case group. Higher oxidative stress biomarkers were evident in the case group; 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a DNA damage marker, increased concomitantly. Correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between the antioxidant (catalase) and the oxidant (8-OHdG) levels.

In recent years, more than 45 million people worldwide have suffered from progressive loss of memory and cognitive functions caused by Alzheimer’s disease. Ocimum sanctum is one of the medicinal plants known to have neuroprotective abilities. This study was conducted to elucidate the anti-apoptotic effects of ethanolic extract of O. sanctum (EEOS) on PC12 and SH-SY5Y cells as well as interaction between main compounds of EEOS and β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide through in silico molecular docking.METHODS: The viability of TMT-induced PC12 and SH-SY5Y cells was assessed with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and acridine orange/propidium iodide staining. Cell proliferation rate was measured with cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Nuclear fragmentation was observed with Hoechst 33342 staining. Caspase -3 and -9 expressions were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Interactions between main compounds of EEOS and Aβ were visualized with in silico molecular docking.RESULTS: EEOS had the potential effect of maintaining cell viability, preventing the cell’s morphological changes, and inhibiting apoptosis via the caspase pathway in PC12 and SH-SY5Y cells. Meanwhile, flavonoid K, phenol, eugenol could interact with the active site of Aβ through hydrogen-bonding and hydrophobic interactions.CONCLUSION: EEOS could prevent neuronal cell apoptosis via downregulation of caspase-3 and -9. Main compounds of EEOS could interact with the active site of Aβ, and thereby might inhibit Aβ oligomerization.

Development of alternative anti-photoaging agents to prevent hair loss from various materials, including natural products, is currently being explored. Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil (ROEO) has been known to have antioxidant and vasodilation properties. However, the effect and mechanism of ROEO on UVB-exposed hair are still unclear. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of ROEO on the hair length and follicle diameter in UVB-exposed mice as well as the skin vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level.METHODS: Thirty male Swiss mice were treated topically with/without paraffin oil, 2% minoxidil, or various concentrations of ROEO, every day for 21 days. Meanwhile, UVB exposure was performed 3×/week. On day 21, the hair length was measured, the skin tissue was collected for hair follicle diameter and VEGF measurements.RESULTS: ROEO contained phenolic, including flavonoids and tannins, as well as non-phenolic antioxidants, including 1.8-cineole, α-pinene, and camphor. The IC50 value of ROEO was 15.977 ppm. Significant higher hair length, follicle diameter, and VEGF level of 10% ROEO+UVB-treated mice were observed, compared with the ones of mice exposed with UVB merely (LSD test, p<0.05).CONCLUSION: Since 10% ROEO could significantly increase hair length, follicle diameter and VEGF level, and contained antioxidant compounds, it can be suggested that ROEO might increase hair length, follicle diameter, and VEGF level through its antioxidant component.KEYWORDS: Rosmarinus officinalis, hair follicle diameter, hair length, VEGF, ultraviolet B, antioxidant","PeriodicalId":22516,"journal":{"name":"The Indonesian Biomedical Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76953090","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}
