"Kadar Zinc dan Cuprum pada Penderita Hipertensi Primer dan Normotensi. Salah satu pencetus hipertensi primer yaitu paparan radikal bebas. Pembentukan radikal bebas dalam tubuh dapat dicegah dengan antioksidan. Peran zinc dan cuprum adalah sebagai kofaktor dari enzim antioksidan endogen superoksida dismutase (SOD). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perbedaan kadar serum zinc dan cuprum pada kelompok hipertensi primer dan normotensif. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional analitik dengan desain cross sectional dan metode simple random sampling. Subjek adalah orang yang berusia 40-70 tahun, mengunjungi Rumah Sakit Haji Surabaya, dan terdiri dari 15 responden hipertensi primer dan 15 responden normotensif (kelompok pembanding). Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara dan uji laboratorium klinis sampel darah. Konsentrasi serum zinc dan cuprum diukur dengan metode AAS (Spektrofotometer Serapan Atom). Data dianalisis dengan chi-square dan independent T-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat rata-rata serum zinc dan cuprum responden pada kelompok hipertensi primer lebih rendah daripada kelompok normotensif. Namun, secara statistik tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan (p=0,852) kadar serum zinc antara kelompok hipertensi primer dan kelompok normotensi, tapi ada perbedaan yang signifikan pada kadar serum cuprum (p=0,022). Kesimpulannya adalah ada yang berbeda dari kadar serum cuprum antara dua kelompok sedangkan untuk kadar serum zinc tidak berbeda.;One of the causes of primary hypertension is an exposure to free radicals. The formation of free radicals in the body can be prevented by taking antioxidants. Zinc and copper are cofactors of endogenous antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase. This study aimed to analyze the differences of zinc and copper levels in primary hypertensive and normotensive patients. This was an analytical observational study with cross sectional design and simple random sampling method. Subjects were patients aged 40-70 years at Haji General Hospital consisting of 15 primary hypertensive patients and 15 normotensive individuals (comparison group). Data was collected through interviews and laboratory test of blood samples. Zinc and Copper serum concentrations were measured by AAS. Data were analyzed by chi-square and independent samples t-test. The results showed that the mean levels of zinc and copper in primary hypertensive patients was lower than normotensive. However, statistically there was no difference in zinc serum levels (p=0.852) in the two groups, and there was a significant difference in copper serum levels (p=0.032). It can be concluded that there were differences in copper serum levels between the two groups but not with the levels of zinc.

"Latar Belakang: Sebanyak 149,2 juta anak di dunia mengalami kejadian stunting. Stunting adalah kondisi gagal tumbuh kembang anak yang diakibatkan oleh kurangnya gizi di seribu hari pertama anak. Berbagai penyebab mampu mempengaruhi kejadian stunting dan salah satunya adalah status gizi yang kurang. Zink yang termasuk dalam mikronutrien diyakini memiliki kaitan dengan kejadian stunting. Kadar zink yang rendah kerap kali dihubungkan dengan gagalnya pertumbuhan linear anak. Tujuan: Mengevaluasi perbedaan kadar zink pada saliva anak usia 6 – 8 tahun pada kelompok anak stunting dan non stunting dan mengevaluasi hubungan antara kadar zink pada saliva anak usia 6 – 8 tahun dan status stunting dan non stunting. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian laboratorik dengan menggunakan 86 sampel saliva anak usia 6 – 8 tahun yang mengalami stunting dan non stunting di NTT. Sampel saliva subjek diuji dengan QuantichromTM Zinc Assay Kit dan dibaca menggunakan microplate reader pada panjang gelombang 425 nm. Selanjutnya, data diolah menggunakan SPSS. Hasil: Kadar zink pada saliva anak stunting usia 6 – 8 tahun di NTT sebesar 0,096 ppm dan pada saliva anak non stunting sebesar 0,105 ppm. Selanjutnya, didapatkan nilai korelasi r sebesar 0,657 dan p< 0,05 antara kadar zink pada saliva anak usia 6 – 8 tahun di NTT dan status stunting. Kesimpulan: Terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara kadar zink pada saliva anak usia 6 – 8 tahun pada kelompok anak stunting dan non stunting. Selain itu, terdapat korelasi antara kadar zink dan status stunting dan non stunting pada saliva anak usia 6 – 8 tahun.

Background: As many as 149.2 million children worldwide experience stunting. Stunting is a condition of failure in child growth and development caused by a lack of nutrition in the child's first thousand days. Various causes can influence the incidence of stunting and one of them is poor nutritional status. Zinc, which is a micronutrient, is believed to have a connection with stunting. Low zinc levels are often associated with the failure of children's linear growth. Objectives: To evaluate differences in zinc levels in the saliva of children aged 6-8 years in the stunting and non-stunting groups and to evaluate the relationship between zinc levels in the saliva of children aged 6 – 8 years and stunting and non-stunting status. Methods: This study was a laboratory study using 86 saliva samples of children aged 6 – 8 years who were stunted and non-stunted in NTT. The subject's salivary samples were tested with the QuantichromTM Zinc Assay Kit and read using a microplate reader at a wavelength of 425 nm. Furthermore, the data is processed using SPSS. Results: The zinc level in the saliva of stunted children aged 6-8 years in NTT was 0.096 ppm and 0.105 ppm in the saliva of non-stunted children. Furthermore, a correlation value of 0.657 and p < 0.05 was obtained between zinc levels in the saliva of children aged 6-8 years in NTT and stunting status. Conclusion: There is a significant difference between zinc levels in the saliva of children aged 6-8 years in the stunting and non-stunting groups. In addition, there is a correlation between zinc levels and stunting and non-stunting status in the saliva of children aged 6-8 years"

"Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi efek dishomeostasis Zn terhadap jalur pensinyalan CREB/BDNF serta dampaknya terhadap fungsi kognitif pada tikus. Tingkat ekspresi CREB dan BDNF diukur pada hipokampus tikus yang dihasilkan dari induk yang memiliki diet Zn dengan variasi dosis. Kelompok perlakuan terdiri dari tikus yang mendapat diet Zn sangat rendah (a: 2.67 mg Zn/100 g), rendah (c: 3.75 mg Zn/100 g), normal (d: 4.84 mg Zn/100 g), tinggi (ds: 4.84 mg Zn/100 g + sonde 1.06 mg Zn/hari), dan sangat tinggi (es: 8.89 mg Zn/100 g + sonde 2.3 mg Zn/hari). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat kecendrungan peningkatan nilai rerata kadar Zn serum dari kelompok a sampai kelompok ds, kemudian menurun pada kelompok es. Kelompok a dan es menunjukkan ekspresi CREB dan BDNF yang rendah, sementara kelompok d menunjukkan hasil yang paling tinggi dalam semua parameter tersebut. Hasil pengukuran memori kerja spasial menunjukkan pola yang sejalan dengan ekspresi CREB/BDNF. Kelompok dengan diet Zn normal memiliki performa memori yang lebih baik, sedangkan kelompok dengan diet Zn sangat rendah atau sangat tinggi menunjukkan penurunan performa. Penelitian ini menunjukkan dishomeostasis Zn dapat mengganggu pensinyalan jalur CREB/BDNF dan fungsi kognitif pada tikus. Respons terhadap dishomeostasis tersebut bervariasi tergantung pada tingkat kekurangan atau kelebihan Zn dalam diet.

This study evaluated the effect of zinc dyshomeostasis on the CREB/BDNF signaling pathway and its impact on cognitive function. Levels of CREB and BDNF expression were measured in the hippocampus of offsprings produced from rats with varying doses of zinc diets. Groups included rat on diets with very low Zn (a: 2.67 mg Zn/100 g), low Zn (c: 3.75 mg Zn/100 g), normal Zn (d: 4.84 mg Zn/100 g), high Zn (ds: 4.84 mg Zn/100 g + orally 1.06 mg Zn/day), and very high Zn (es: 8.89 mg Zn/100 g + orally 2.3 mg Zn/day). Research results showed a trend of increasing mean serum zinc levels from group a to group ds, then decreasing in group es. Groups a and es exhibited low CREB and BDNF expression, while group d showed the highest levels in all parameters. Spatial working memory measurements indicated a pattern consistent with CREB/BDNF expression. Group with normal zinc diets showed better memory performance, whereas groups with very low or very high zinc diets showed decreased performance. This study suggests that zinc dyshomeostasis may disrupt CREB/BDNF signaling pathway and cognitive function. Response to dyshomeostasis varies depending on the level of zinc deficiency or excess in the diet."

"Studi terdahulu telah menunjukkan hubungan yang positif antara literasi kesehatan dengan status kesehatan serta pemanfaatan layanan kesehatan, namun belum banyak penelitian mengenai literasi kesehatan pada penderita hipertensi di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui determinan sosial yang mempengaruhi tingkat literasi kesehatan pada pasien hipertensi di Puskesmas Kota Cilegon, Banten. Dengan menggunakan disain potong lintang, penelitian ini mengambil data dari pasien hipertensi di delapan puskesmas di Kota Cilegon (n=138). Pengukuran literasi kesehatan dilakukan menggunakan instrumen Health Literacy Scale European Union dengan 16 pertanyaan yang telah diadaptasi.  Analisis dilakukan menggunakan model regresi linier ganda dengan literasi kesehatan sebagai variabel dependen dan determinan sosial seperti jenis kelamin, kelompok usia, pendidikan, penghasilan, dan pekerjaan sebagai variabel independen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rerata skor literasi kesehatan pada penderita hipertensi adalah 58.4 (SD=14.2) dari skala 100. Hasil analisis regresi linier ganda menunjukkan hubungan yang bermakna antara skor literasi kesehatan dengan usia (b=-6.1, SE=1.8, p=0.01), pendidikan (b=12.5, SE=2.7, p<0.001), penghasilan (b=9.1, SE=2.2, p<0.001) dan pengetahuan hipertensi(b=14,4 SE=1,5, p<0.001)  Hasil ini mengindikasikan perlunya penanganan ekstra pada penderita hipertensi yang berusia lanjut, berpendidikan kurang dari SMA, berpenghasilan di bawah upah minimum regional dan pengetahuan hipertensi yang kurang.

Previous studies have shown positive association between health literacy and access to health care systems as well as health outcomes. However, research assessing such association among hypertension patients in Indonesia is limited.This study aimed to assess social determinants for health literacy among hypertension patients in Cilegon, the capital city of Banten Province, Indonesia. Data for this cross sectional study were collected using face to face interviews with quota based samples from registered patients of eight community health centers (n=138). Multiple regression was conducted to assess the association of health literacy and social determinants (i.e., sex, age, education, income, and employment status). Univariate analysis showed that the average score of health literacy was 58.4 (SD=14.2) on a scale of 100. Bivariate analysis showed positive associations between health literacy with all independent variables, except for sex and employment status. Multiple linear regression showed that patients health literacy was significantly associated with age (=-6.1, SE=1.8, p=0.01), education (=12.5, SE=2.7, p<0.001), and income (=9.1, SE=2.2, p<0.001). Results showed that doctors and health care workers need to provide extra treatment for hypertension patients who are older, have education below high school, and have limited income."

ABSTRACT

Hypertension or high blood pressure is a risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and the leading cause of death in the world. Most people are not aware that they have hypertension because of a general lack of symptoms until major complications arise. Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no early significant symptoms. Each year the number of patients with hypertension increase significantly. So, it needs a program to increase people awareness and knowledge about hypertension.

The aim of this study is to asses patients knowledge in definitions, symptoms, causes, effect ilness, and treatment for hypertension disease. Those information can be use for developing health promotion for hypertenssive patients. This study using descriptive study.

The Hypertension Knowledge questionaire used to measure the level of patients knowledge about hypertension. This study was conducted in RSPAD Gatot Soebroto Jakarta. The sample of this study were 77 hypertensive patients (37 female and 40 male), with age between 43-63 years old, and education from SD, SMP, SMA, D3, and S1.

The level of patients knowledge about hypertension is in average level. The patients need health promotion's media that can be practical, easy to read, and include some information about definitions, symptom, causes, effect ilness, and treatment about hypertension. The result from this study is a hypertension leaflet for health promotion's media to hypertensive patients."
