"Latar Belakang: Tumor sistem saraf pusat (SSP) meningkatkan tekanan intrakranial dan menyebabkan berbagai gangguan neurologis yang dapat memengaruhi status gizi pasien. Status gizi memengaruhi imunitas bawaan dan adaptif. Pada hampir semua jenis keganasan kadar asam amino rantai cabang (AARC) didapatkan rendah. Asam amino rantai cabang meningkatkan imunitas dengan meningkatkan fagositik neutrofil, proliferasi limfosit, sintesis protein, menjaga jalur pensinyalan yang sensitif terhadap nutrisi. Rasio neutrofil limfosit (RNL) menggambarkan keseimbangan sistem imunitas dengan inflamasi. Peningkatan RNL dihubungkan dengan penurunan respon imun tubuh, terapi, harapan hidup dan prognosis. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan asupan AARC terhadap RNL pada pasien tumor SSP.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan studi potong lintang pada pasien tumor SSP yang dirawat di RSCM. Karakteristik subjek berupa usia, jenis kelamin, jenis tumor, defisit neurologis, status performa karnofsky, indeks massa tubuh (IMT), status gizi berdasarkan ASPEN, penyakit komorbid, status infeksi, kemoterapi, radiasi, dan atau kemoradiasi, terapi glukokortikoid, asupan energi dan protein, asupan AARC, serta nilai RNL. Dilakukan analisis hubungan antara dua kelompok asupan AARC yang dibagi sesuai median populasi penelitian terhadap RNL.Hasil: Terdapat 66 subjek penelitian dengan median usia 48 tahun, mayoritas subjek perempuan (56,1%), dengan jenis tumor sekunder sebanyak 38 subjek (57,6%). Defisit neurologis tertinggi berupa nyeri kepala (60,6%), proporsi status performa karnofsky terganggu sedang-berat (60,6%). Proporsi IMT estimasi normal sebanyak 34,8%, rerata IMT 23,46 ± 4,95 kg/m2, dengan mayoritas malnutrisi (54,5%) berdasarkan kriteria ASPEN. Mayoritas subjek tidak memiliki komorbid (65,2%), tidak infeksi (80,3%), tidak menjalani kemoterapi, radiasi dan atau kemoradiasi (84,8%), serta tidak mendapat glukokortikoid (71,2%). Rerata asupan energi 1519 kkal, protein 65 g/hari, median AARC 9 g/hari. Terdapat perbedaan bermakna nilai RNL (p=0,047) pada kelompok asupan AARC <9 g/hari (median RNL 4,9); pada kelompok asupan AARC ≥9 g/hari (median RNL 3,1).

Background: Central nervous system (CNS) tumors increase intracranial pressure and cause various neurological disorders that can affect the nutritional status of patients. Nutritional status influences both innate and adaptive immunity. In almost all malignancies, low levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) are observed. Branched-chain amino acids enhance immunity by increasing neutrophil phagocytosis, lymphocyte proliferation, protein synthesis, and maintaining nutrient-sensitive signaling pathways. The neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) reflects the balance of the immune system with inflammation. An elevated NLR is associated with decreased body immune response, therapy outcomes, life expectancy, and prognosis. This study aims to determine the relationship between BCAA intake and NLR in CNS tumor patients.

Method: This is a cross-sectional study on CNS tumor patients treated at RSCM. Subject characteristics include age, gender, tumor type, neurological deficits, Karnofsky performance status, body mass index (BMI), nutrition status based on ASPEN, comorbidities, infection status, chemotherapy, radiation, and/or chemoradiation, glucocorticoid therapy, energy, and protein intake, BCAA intake, and NLR values. The analysis examines the relationship between two groups of BCAA intake divided according to the study population's median with NLR.

Results: There were 66 study subjects with a median age of 48 years, mostly female subjects (56,1%), with 38 subjects (57,6%) having secondary tumors. The highest neurological deficit was headache (60,6%), and the majority have a moderately to severely impaired Karnofsky performance status (60,6%). The proportion of estimated normal Body Mass Index (BMI) was 34.8%, with a mean BMI of 23,46 ± 4,95 kg/m2, and the majority were malnourished (54,5%) based on ASPEN criteria. Most subjects had no comorbidities (65,2%), no infections (80,3%), did not undergo chemotherapy, radiation, and/or chemoradiation (84,8%), and did not receive glucocorticoids (71.2%). The mean energy intake was 1519 kcal, protein intake 65 g/day, and the median BCAA was 9 g/day. There was a significant difference in the NLR values (p=0,047) between the group with BCAA intake <9 g/day (median NLR 4,9) and the group with BCAA intake ≥9 g/day (median NLR 3,1).

Conclusion: BCAA intake is related to NLR values in CNS tumor patients. Higher BCAA intake is associated with lower NLR values."

"Glutamin merupakan asam amino yang berperan penting dalam menjaga homeostasis dari fungsi sel tertentu, di antaranya adalah proliferasi sel limfosit. Penurunan kadar glutamin plasma terjadi pada hewan coba dengan kanker, yang berdampak pada peningkatan kerentanan terhadap infeksi. Beberapa penelitian melaporkan bahwa suplementasi glutamin dapat mencegah terjadinya mukositis oral akibat radiasi, sehingga dapat meningkatkan kualitas hidup pasien kanker kepala leher dengan radioterapi. Penelitian dengan desain potong lintang ini dilakukan di Departemen Radioterapi RSUPN dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo, Jakarta, yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui korelasi antara kadar glutamin plasma terhadap total lymphocyte count TLC dan kualitas hidup pada pasien kanker kepala leher dengan radioterapi. Dari total 52 subjek yang mengikuti penelitian ini, didapatkan median usia 50,50 18-62 tahun dan 63,46 adalah subjek laki-laki. Nasofaring merupakan lokasi kanker tersering. Sekitar 70 subjek berada pada stadium IV dan mendapatkan kombinasi radioterapi dan kemoterapi. Status gizi sebagian besar subjek masih tergolong normal. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada korelasi antara kadar glutamin plasma terhadap TLC dan kualitas hidup pada pasien kanker kepala leher dengan radioterapi. Meskipun demikian, beberapa data dalam penelitian ini dapat memberikan gambaran mengenai adanya masalah nutrisi yang dialami pasien kanker kepala leher dengan radioterapi. Data tersebut antara lain lebih dari 60 subjek memiliki asupan kalori dan protein harian yang kurang, kemudian didapatkan juga kadar glutamin plasma semua subjek yang sangat rendah, dengan rerata 7,77 3,32 ?mol/l. Beberapa faktor yang diduga menjadi penyebab terjadinya hal tersebut adalah proses penyakit kanker, lokasi pertumbuhan kanker, efek samping terapi, serta kebutuhan yang sangat tinggi akan glutamin untuk fungsi fisiologis tubuh.

Glutamin is an amino acid that plays an important role in maintaining the homeostasis of many cells, including the proliferation of lymphocytes. A decrease in plasma glutamine level was observed in rats with cancer, which could increase the susceptibility to infection. Several studies showed that glutamine supplementation could prevent oral mucositis induced by radiation, so this could increase the quality of life of head and neck cancer patients receiving radiotherapy. This cross sectional study conducted at Radiotherapy Department, RSUPN dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo, Jakarta, aimed to investigate the correlations of plasma glutamin level with total lymphocyte count TLC and quality of life in head and neck cancer patients receiving radiotherapy. A total of 52 subjects participated in this study, with median age 50,50 18 62 years old and 63,46 subjects were male. Nasopharynx was the most common site affected. About 70 subjects were at stage IV cancer and receiving a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Most of the subjects had a normal nutritional status according to body mass index BMI.

The results of this study showed no correlations of plasma glutamine level with TLC and quality of life in head and neck cancer patients receiving radiotherapy. However, data from this study revealed nutritional problems that happened in head and neck cancer patients receiving radiotherapy. These data include more than 60 of subjects had below normal limit daily calorie and protein intakes, and the plasma glutamine level of all subjects was very low, with mean 7,77 3,32 mol l. Several factors predicted to be the cause of these problems are the process of the disease, cancer growth location, side effects of therapy, as well as a high need of glutamine for physiological functions of the body.

ABSTRACTThe decrease of muscle mass and strength in elderly people will affect thefunctional capacity and increase the risk of sarcopenia. One factor that can affect the loss of mass and muscle strength in elderly is the decrease in protein and branched chain amino acids (BCAA) intakes. This will affect the visceral protein status, especially prealbumin. The purpose of this study is to assess the association between intake of protein, BCAA and serum prealbumin level with muscle strength in elderly people. The methodology of this research is a cross-sectional study with 52 elderly people from April-May 2016. Food intake include energy, non-protein calorie (NPC), protein, and BCAA which is obtained from 2x24 hours food records. Blood sampling was performed after the subjects fasted for ± 8 hours, and muscle strength was measured with a Jamar's handgrip dynamometer. The results show there are no correlation between protein intake with the hand grip strength (r = 0,21 and p = 0,11), as well as AARC intake (r = 0,18 and p = 0,19) and prealbumin serum level (r = -0,056 and p = 0,69). This study concludes that low protein intake but accompanied with sufficient energy intake and BCAA will affect serum prealbumin level and muscle strength will be remained at normal values, however a statistically significant relationship is not found."

Introduction: Malnutrition and Tuberculosis (TB) have bidirectional relationship, which interact between each other. In chronic infection, there is an imbalance between protein degradation and protein synthesis which marked with the loss of fat free mass (FFM). Malnutrition can cause the atrophy of thymus gland resulted in the reduction of lymphocyte production. Malnutrition in TB patients will reduce quality of life. On the other hand, a good quality of life will increase treatment success rate and decrease the risk of morbidity and mortality. Short Form-36 (SF-36) is a questionnaire used to assess quality of life consists of two different components, physical component score (PCS) and mental component score (MCS).

Methods: This cross-sectional study aimed to assess correlation between protein intake, fat free mass, and total lymphocyte count with quality of life among intensive phase lung tuberculosis patients. Data collected from May to July 2019 in 12 primary health centers chosen randomly in Pekanbaru, Riau Province. Samples selected using consecutive sampling method and 72 subjects fulfilled all research criteria. Interview was used to collect basic characteristic data, dietary intake data, and quality of life score. Anthropometric measurement (body weight, body height, and fat free mass) and laboratory examination (total lymphocyte count) were done. Spearman, Pearson, Mann-Whitney, and Kruskall Wallis test were used in this study.

Results: Research showed median age subjects was 33 years old (18-59 years old). Most of the subjects were male (56.9%), had middle level of education, had low income, were active smoker with underweight nutritional status. Around 59.7% subjects had low protein intake, 86.1% subjects had low fat free mass, and 88.9% subjects had normal lymphocyte count. Most of the subjects had good physical and mental component score of quality of life assessment.

Conclusion: There was a statistically significant weak correlation between fat free mass with PCS (r = 0.239, p = 0.044). However, there was no correlation found between protein intake or total lymphocyte count with PCS or MCS."

In conclusion, serum CRP levels did not influence weight loss and oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiotherapy. Most of the subjects still experienced weight loss during radiotherapy. Therefore, NGT prophylaxis is needed, but this requires further study."
