"ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Hipertrofi jantung dapat timbul akibat stres patologis misal hipoksia yang merupakan respon jantung sebagai mekanisme homeostatis yang diperlukan untuk menormalkan stres dinding ventrikel kiri dan mempertahankan curah jantung. Hipoksia sistemik kronik merupakan stres lingkungan yang berat. Respon spesifik jantung terhadap stres jantung terlihat pada peningkatan kadar peptida di dalam plasma, yang membantu jantung dalam menghadapi beban yang meningkat. Menurut sejumlah peneliti, kadar Apelin berhubungan erat dengan disfungsi ventrikel. Apelin merupakan preproprotein dengan 77 asam amino yang disekresikan dari keluarga adipokine, berperan dalam mempertahankan performa jantung pada beban tekanan kronik. Pada tingkat molekular, respons adaptasi diperantarai oleh perubahan ekspresi gen. Tujuan penelitian: Menganalisis pola ekspresi gen Apelin dan gen BNP pada hipertrofi ventrikel akibat induksi hipoksia sistemik kronik dengan mengukur konsentrasi Apelin-13 dan konsentrasi BNP-45. Penelitian bersifat eksperimental menggunakan 28 ekor tikus Sprague-Dawley jantan, umur 8-12 minggu yang dibagi dalam 7 kelompok n=4 ekor/kelompok , terdiri dari kelompok kontrol normoksia, O2 atmosfir dan kelompok perlakuan hipoksia dalam sungkuphipoksia, 8 O2, masing-masing selama 6 jam, 1, 3, 5, 7 dan 14 hari .

ABSTRACTBackground: Cardiac hypertrophy can result from pathological stress eg hypoxia as a response to ventricular wall stress and to maintain cardiac output. Chronic systemic hypoxia is a severe environmental stress. During cardiac stress certain peptides are release by the heart into the plasma, which help the heart to compensate the increased myocardial load. According to several authors, apelin levels are increased during cardiac dysfunction. Apelin is a preproprotein with 77 amino acids from adipokine, which contributes to maintaining cardiac performance at chronic stress loads. At the molecular level, the adaptation response is mediated by changes in gene expression. Objective: To analyze the expression pattern of Apelin-13 and BNP-45 on ventricular hypertrophy due to induction of chronic systemic hypoxia by measuring Apelin-13 and BNP-45 concentrations. The experimental study used 28 male Sprague-Dawley rats, 8-12 weeks old divided into 7 groups 4 per group , consisting of control group normoxia, atmospheric O2 and 4 hypoxia treatment groups, which underwent systemic hypoxia in hypoxic chamber containing 8 oxygen, respectively for 6 hours, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days . The presence of oxidative stress due to cardiac hypoxia was determined by malondialdehyde MDA and cardiac structural alteration was examined by HE staining. Apelin-13 and BNP-45 proteins were determined using the ELISA method and the relative expression of cardiac Apelin and BNP-45 mRNA were determined using quantitative RT-PCR real time with Livak formula. Results: Relative expression of Apelin-13 in the heart decreased early in hypoxia and then increased from day 3 to day 14. Significant increases in MDA levels occurred after 7 days hypoxia. There was a strong and significant correlation between MDA levels and Apelin relative expression r = 0.750, p = 0.001 . Similar results were obtained for of BNP-45 and Apelin-13 r = 0.943, p = 0.001 . From the results, it can be concluded that during chronic systemic hypoxia there was an increase in oxidative stress, relative expression and Apelin-13 proteins and relative expression and BNP-45 protein of the rat cardiac tissue."

"Juvenile hypertrophy of the breast (JHB) merupakan gigantomastia unilateral atau bilateral pada wanita peripubertal dan merupakan kasus jarang. Kelainan ini terbatas pada payudara berupa pertumbuhan dan perkembangan yang tidak normal. Pembesaran payudara bilateral atau unilateral tidak hanya mengakibatkan gangguan fisik tetapi juga psikis. Etiologinya sulit ditentukan, tetapi kelainan ini menggambarkan adanya hipersensitifitas organ akibat gangguan regulasi endokrin. Terapi terbaik berupa pembedahan yaitu mastektomi atau mammaplasti reduksi. Laporan ini menyajikan kasus seorang wanita berusia 30 tahun dengan JHB. Pertumbuhan payudara kirinya dimulai saat pubertas dan terus membesar selama setahun. Operasi dilaksanakan berupa reduksi mammaplasti dengan wise pattern based design. Setelah dua tahun pasien tidak memiliki tanda-tanda rekurensi dan kedua payudaranya tampak simetris dengan parut yang memuaskan.

AbstractJuvenile hypertrophy of the breast (JHB) is a rare condition leading to gigantomastia unilaterally or bilaterally in peripubertal females. The pathology is limited usually to the breast, with otherwise normal growth and development and without any other deformities. The rapid bilateral or unilateral growth of the breast in adolescent girls leads to severe physical and psychological problems. The etiology remains elusive, but it is believed to represent an end-organ hypersensitivity during a period of intense endocrine regulatory stress. The best treatment is surgical whereas the younger patients better treated with mastectomy to anticipate the high recurrency rate, while older women is best treated with reduction mammaplasty. We report one case of a woman who had a unilateral JHB. The growth of the left breast started in her pubertal age and kept growing for one year. She was treated surgically with Wise pattern based design. After two years, she had no recurrent enlargement and aesthetically, the symmetry of both breasts is achieved with a satisfying scar. "

"ABSTRAKPada overtraining, adaptasi fisiologis menjadi tertunda atau bahkan menghasilkan suatu adaptasi yang patologis, salah satunya efek pada sistem kardiovaskuler. Penelitian ini bertujuan menilai pengaruh overtraining dan efek pemberian H. Sabdariffa L HSL) pada kondisi overtraining terhadap indeks hipertrofi, kadar BNP dan PGC-1α jantung tikus. Penelitian ini menggunakan 25 ekor tikus jantan dewasa strain Wistar (Rattus-norvegicus) yang dibagi secara acak menjadi lima kelompok, yaitu kelompok kontrol yang diberi perlakuan placebo (K), kelompok kontrol yang diberi HSL 500mg/kgBB/hari (K-Hib), kelompok tikus dengan latihan aerobik (A), kelompok tikus dengan latihan fisik dengan kondisi overtraining(OT), serta kelompok tikus dengan latihan fisik dengan kondisi overtraining dan HSL 500mg/kgBB/hari (OT-Hib). Perlakuan dilakukan lima kali seminggu, selama 11 minggu. Indeks hipertrofi ditentukan dengan menghitung rasio berat jantung/berat badan, berat ventrikel/berat badan, dan berat ventrikel kiri/berat badan. Kadar BNP dan PGC-1α diukur menggunakan metode ELISA. Hasil penelitian didapatkan kelompok overtraining memiliki indeks hipertrofi dan kadar BNP jantung yang lebih tinggi, serta kadar PGC-1α jantung yang lebih rendah dibandingkan kelompok kontrol dan aerobik. Pemberian HSL pada kondisi overtraining cenderung mencegah penurunan indeks hipertrofi dan kadar BNP jantung tikus, meskipun tidak meningkatkan kadar PGC-1α jantung. Kondisi overtraining mengarahkan adaptasi jantung ke arah patologis dan tidak tertutup kemungkinan bahwa HSL memiliki potensi untuk mencegah terjadinya hipertrofi patologis.

ABSTRACTOvertraining causes physiological adaptation becomes delayed or even produces a pathological adaptation, one of which is the effect on the cardiovascular system. The aims of this study are to elucidate the effect of overtraining and administration of H. Sabdariffa L (HSL) in overtraining condition on the hypertrophy index, levels of BNP and PGC-1α in the rats' hearts. This study used 25 Wistar Rattus norvegicus adult male rats, which were divided randomly into five groups, namely the control group given placebo treatment (K), the control group given HSL 500mg/kgBW/day (K-Hib), groups of rats with aerobic exercise (A), groups of rats with overtraining physical exercise (OT), and groups of rats with physical exercise overtraining and HSL 500mg/kgBB/day (OT-Hib). Treatment is done five times a week, for 11 weeks. Hypertrophy index is determined by calculated the ratio of heart weight/body-weight, ventricular weigh/body-weight, left ventricular weight/body-weight). BNP and PGC-1α levels were measured using the ELISA method. The results of this study showed that overtraining increased the hypertrophy index and heart BNP levels while reducing the levels of PGC-1α of rats compared to the control and aerobic groups. HSL administration tended to decrease the hypertrophy index and BNP levels although not increase the levels of PGC-1α in overtraining condition. Overtraining condition tend to the heart adaptation to the pathological direction and it is possible that HSL has potency to prevent pathological hypertrophy."

"OBJECTIVE: To determine if Intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP), total prostate volume, transition zone volume and transition zone index is correlated with the severity of clinical benign prostatic hyperplasia.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: From January to May 2005, 56 patients with symptom of BPH were enrolled in this study. All patients were requested to undergo urofiowmetry, postvoid residual urine measurement and international Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). TRUS was used to calculate the total prostate volume, transition zone (ZT) volume and the transition zone index (TZ index = TZ volume/total prostate volume). And IPP was measured by transabdominal ultrasonography.

RESULT: There were a significant correlation between IPSS and post void residual with total prostate volume, transition zone, transition zone index and intravesical prostatic protrusion. Only transition zone and transition zone index were significant correlation with Q max. Strongest correlation in IPSS and postvoid residual was transition zone (ZT) volume (r = 0.480 and r = 0.621 ) in Q max was transition zone index (r = 0.508).

CONCLUSION : From this study there were correlation between intravesical prostatic protrusion, prostate volume, transition zone volume and transition zone index however the correlation is weak."
