Leukemia Limfoblas Akut merupakan salah satu jenis kanker yang banyak ditemukan pada anak-anak di Indonesia. Kemoterapi adalah salah satu pengobatan efektif untuk mengobati leukemia limfoblastik akut. Selain memberikan efek penyembuhan, kemoterapi juga memiliki efek toksik. Mucositis adalah efek samping kemoterapi yang umumnya ditemukan pada anak-anak yang menjalani kemoterapi. Pencegahan dan penatalaksanaan komplikasi rongga mulut diperlukan untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidup anak. Salah satu pencegahan dan pengobatannya adalah perawatan mulut. Perawatan mulut melibatkan empat komponen utama yaitu, sikat gigi, pembilasan, flossing, dan perawatan bibir. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara perawatan mulut dengan kejadian mucositis. Desain penelitian menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan jumlah sampel 34 anak yang dipilih dengan metode snowball sampling. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah Oral Assessment Guide (OAG) dan kuesioner perawatan mulut yang dikembangkan oleh peneliti. Analisis data menggunakan Chi-square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar anak mengalami mukositis setelah menjalani siklus kemoterapi terakhir (51,5%). Hasil uji statistik menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang bermakna antara perawatan mulut dengan kejadian mucositis (p = 0,039). Hasil penelitian ini merekomendasikan kesadaran anak dan orang tua untuk melakukan perawatan mulut secara rutin yang berguna dalam mencegah dan mengobati mucositis. ......Acute Lymphoblast Leukemia is a type of cancer that is mostly found in children in Indonesia. Chemotherapy is one of the effective treatments for treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Apart from providing a healing effect, chemotherapy also has toxic effects. Mucositis is a side effect of chemotherapy that is commonly found in children undergoing chemotherapy. Prevention and management of oral complications is needed to improve the quality of life of children. One of the prevention and treatment is oral care. Oral care involves four main components namely, toothbrush, rinsing, flossing, and lip care. This study aims to determine the relationship between oral care and the incidence of mucositis. The research design used a cross sectional design with a sample size of 34 children who were selected by the snowball sampling method. The measuring instruments used were the Oral Assessment Guide (OAG) and the oral care questionnaire developed by the researcher. Data analysis using Chi-square. The results showed that most children had mucositis after undergoing the last chemotherapy cycle (51.5%). The results of statistical tests showed a significant relationship between oral care and the incidence of mucositis (p = 0.039). The results of this study recommend the awareness of children and parents to carry out routine oral care which is useful in preventing and treating mucositis.

This volume is focused on the development of vaccines which generate immune effectors capable of blocking mucosal entry or peripheral pathogen spread. Other chapters describe strategies for enhancing uptake of mucosal vaccines, for instance through targeted delivery to antigen-sampling M cells, construction of virus-like particles which mimic natural pathogens, addition of mucoadhesives or formulation as nanoparticles. Topics include edible vaccines as well as plant-based production of subunit or particulate vaccines that could be administered by any route. Dry powder vaccines that could be insufflated or directly applied to mucosal surfaces may be particularly ideal for mass vaccination in developing countries. The manufacture, stability and efficacy of powder formulations is comprehensively reviewed. We conclude with chapters on two of the greatest challenges facing mucosal vaccine development : human immunodeficiency virus and bioterrorist agents. This monograph highlights progress and information that should prove invaluable for the development of contemporary vaccines that prevent infection by these and other mucosal pathogens.
