Perjalanan penyakitnya ditandai dengan episode remisi dan eksaserbasi sering menyebabkan gejala depresi yang signifikan. Penyakit LES dan depresi memiliki kesamaan dalam proses dan penyebabnya yakni Interleukin-10 (IL-10). Sitokin antiinflamasi (IL-10) pada LES ini selain mempengaruhi tingkat keparahan aktivitas LES, juga berkontribusi terhadap patofisiologi depresi yang menurunkan kualitas hidup pasien LES. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menentukan hubungan kadar IL-10 dengan tingkat depresi melalui penilaian skor BDI (Beck’s Depression Inventory) pada penderita LES. Penelitian ini adalah studi observasional analitik dengan rancangan cross sectional dan menggunakan uji hubungan untuk melihat hubungan IL-10 dengan tingkat depresi pada pasien LES yang dilakukan di ruang poliklinik dan perawatan penyakit dalam RSUP dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang dari November 2019 hingga Maret 2020. Jumlah subjek penelitian sebanyak 40 sampel yang merupakan pasien LES dengan depresi yang telah dilakukan perhitungan tingkat depresi menggunakan skor BDI. Terdapat 40 subjek penelitian dengan median umur 30,50 tahun dan rentang umur 18-56 tahun. Subjek dengan tingkat depresi ringan 17 orang (42,5%), sedang 14 orang (35%) dan berat 9 orang (22,5%). Pada aktifitas LES, terdapat 5 orang (12,5%) dengan aktifitas LES ringan, 20 orang (50%) dengan aktifitas LES sedang, dan 15 orang (37,5%) dengan aktifitas LES berat. Pada penelitian ini terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara tingkat depresi dengan tingkat keparahan aktifitas LES (MEX SLEDAI) (r= 0,444 p=0,004). Namun, tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara kadar IL-10 serum dengan tingkat keparahan aktifitas LES (p= 0,170, r = 0,221) dan kadar IL-10 serum dengan tingkat depresi (p = 0,437, r= 0,126).

Anemia in adolescents has a negative impact on decreased immunity, impaired physical growth and mental development, concentration, learning achievement, adolescent fitness and productivity. Knowledge of the extent and causes of anemia in adolescence is very important because it is a window of opportunity for interventions to improve adolescent health. This study aims to describe level of Hb and knowledge regarding anemia and its prevention among adolescents. This research is a descriptive study with a cross sectional method using Hb meter to assess Hb level and questionnaire to assess knowledge regarding anemia and its prevention among adolescents, conducted in November 2019. The respondents were 42 adolescents in SMPN 9 Palembang. The ages of respondents in this study ranged from 12-13 years, consisting of 36% boys and 64% girls. The mean value of Hb level in all adolescent was 13.78 g/dL with 12% of respondents had anemia. A total of 76% adolescents had poor knowledge, while 24% adolescents had good knowledge.

Changes in some laboratory markers such as absolute lymphocyte count and quantitative CRP in COVID-19 can be associated with the course and clinical phases of the patient whose results can be useful in grading and predicting the severity of COVID-19 disease. This study aims to determine the correlation between absolute lymphocyte count and quantitative CRP on the severity of COVID-19. This study was an observational correlative analytic study with a cross sectional design. The research was conducted in all COVID-19 treatment isolation wards at RSMH Palembang from March 2021 to April 2021 with the research subjects being patients with confirmed cases of COVID-19 with various degrees of disease. Routine blood tests of absolute lymphocyte counts and quantitative CRP were performed at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory of RSMH Palembang. The statistical analysis of the correlation test with Spearman for numerical data was not normally distributed, and Gamma for categorical ordinal data was followed by a regression test to determine the prognostic value of the two parameters. Samples obtained were 83 patients, namely 24 patients (28.9%) mild degree, 40 patients (48.2%) moderate degree, 10 patients (12%) severe degree and 9 patients (10.8%) critical degree. The correlation between the absolute lymphocyte count and quantitative CRP obtained the correlation coefficient value r = – 0.525. The correlation between the absolute lymphocyte count and the degree of COVID-19 disease obtained a correlation coefficient of r = – 0.605, while the correlation between the quantitative CRP value and the degree of disease was obtained r = 0.875. Based on the prognostic test, the absolute lymphocyte count (cutoff point of 1,157 cells / mm3) was obtained with a sensitivity of 68.4% and a specificity of 68.75%. Meanwhile, quantitative CRP with a cutoff point of 77.5 mg/L obtained a sensitivity of 89.4% and a specificity of 89%. The absolute lymphocyte count has a strong negative correlation with the quantitative CRP value and the disease degree in COVID-19, while the quantitative CRP value has a positive correlation with a very strong degree. Thus these two parameters can be used as predictors of disease severity, however, the quantitative CRP value can be an independent prognostic marker or a single predictor of the severity of COVID-19 disease.","PeriodicalId":252478,"journal":{"name":"Sriwijaya Journal of Medicine","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133709594","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}
