Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a skin disorder caused by chronic inflammation of pilosebaceus that is primarily found in adolescents and young adults. In female patient, there is a higher prevalence of AV and more severe psychosocial impact. Several studies have investigated association between the levels of serum homocysteine and severity of AV, but the role of homocysteine in AV is not clearly understood. Homocysteine levels are thought to be affected by varying factors, so it is assumed that homocysteine levels in Indonesian people will yield a different results. Physiologically, female has a lower homocysteine levels.

Objective: This study aims to know the levels of homocysteine plasma in female patients suffering from mild, moderate, and severe AV, also its correlation with the degree of AV severity.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 46 subjects, recruited by consecutive sampling, who have been diagnosed with AV based on Lehmann criteria on April-June

2019. Blood sample will be taken from each subject to measure homocycsteine plasma levels by using chemiluminescent microparticle immuno assay method (CMIA).

Results: In female patients, the mean plasma homocycteine levels of mild, moderate, and severe groups were respectively 7,39 (1,84) μmol/L, 7,14 (1,73) μmol/L, and 6,95 (1,14) μmol/L. There was no significant corelation between plasma homocysteine levels and the degree of acne severity (r=-0,0964, p=0,524).

Conclusion: Levels of plasma homocysteine was found lower on moderate and severe AV groups. The lower the levels of plasma homocysteine, the more severe the the degree of acne severity.

Background: Nowadays, the role of vitamin D in various chronic diseases is a matter of great interest. Vitamin D is thought to have an immunomodulatory effect so it is thought to be associated with several allergic and autoimmune diseases, including chronic urticaria. There have been reports of low vitamin D levels in patients with chronic urticaria and vitamin D supplementations has been shown to improve symptoms of chronic urticaria which was assessed by a validated questionnaire Urticaria activity score 7 (UAS7). However, data on the correlation between serum vitamin D levels and disease activity in chronic urticaria are still limited, especially in Indonesia.

Objective: To analyze the correlation between vitamin D (25[OH]D) serum and disease activity in chronic urticaria patients.

Methods:

This is an analytic-descriptive cross-sectional study. Thirty chronic urticaria patients age 18 – 59 years old who meet all inclusion and exclusion criterias were recruited in this study. Assessment of disease activity using UAS7 and measurement of 25(OH)D serum levels were performed. Correlation of 25(OH)D serum levels and disease activity was done using Spearman analysis. In this study, an assessment of sun exposure adequacy was carried out using a weekly sunlight exposure questionnaire.

Results: The mean of UAS7 was 14.63±7.8, median duration of illness was 12 (2 – 120) month, median weekly sunlight exposure score was 8 (2 – 34), and the median serum 25(OH)D was 12.10 ng/mL (6.85 – 29.87). The majority of subjects had vitamin D deficiency (80%). There was no correlations between serum 25(OH)D levels and disease activity (r=0.151; p=0.425). However, a significant negative correlation was found in severe deficiency vitamin D group (r=-0.916; p=0.001). There was also significant moderate correlation between disease activity and duration of illness (r=0.391; p=0.033). In weekly sunlight exposure questionnaire, we found that body surface area score was significantly different between insufficiency and deficiency vitamin D groups (p=0,031).

Conclusion: There was no correlation between serum 25(OH)D levels and disease activity in chronic urticaria patients, however there was a tendency of increasing disease activity in severe deficiency vitamin D group"

"Latar Belakang: Hiperhomosisteinemia merupakan salah satu faktor risiko terjadinya penyakit kardiovaskular (PKV). Psoriasis vulgaris adalah penyakit kulit inflamasi kronis yang berhubungan dengan beberapa penyakit penyerta, misalnya aterosklerosis dan PKV. Defisiensi folat dapat terjadi pada pasien psoriasis, akibat utilisasi yang meningkat di kulit yang mengalami hiperproliferasi dan atau penyerapan oleh usus yang berkurang. Hal ini dapat mengakibatkan peningkatan kadar homosistein dalam darah. Penulis meneliti korelasi antara kadar homosistein serum dan derajat keparahan psoriasis vulgaris, yang diukur dengan metode psoriasis area severity index (PASI) dan luas permukaan tubuh (body surface area, BSA). Metode: penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan potong lintang, pada 36 pasien psoriasis vulgaris. Subyek terdiri dari16 perempuan dan 20 laki-laki. Kadar homosistein serum diukur dengan metode competitive immunoassay dan dikorelasikan dengan derajat keparahan psoriasis. Hasil: pada subyek psoriasis laki-laki, kadar homosistein serum berkorelasi positif dengan derajat keparahan penyakit yang diukur dengan PASI (korelasi Pearson, r = 0.615 , p < 0,05) dan BSA (korelasi Spearman , r = 0,476 , p < 0,05). Tidak ada korelasi antara kadar homosistein serum dengan PASI (korelasi Pearson , p > 0,05 ) dan BSA (korelasi Spearman, p > 0,05) pada subyek psoriasis perempuan. Kesimpulan: Terdapat korelasi positif yang signifikan secara statistik antara kadar homosistein serum dengan derajat keparahan psoriasis yang diukur dengan PASI dan BSA pada subyek psoriasis laki-laki.

Background: hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Psoriasis vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with several comorbidities, such as atherosclerosis and CVD. Psoriatic patients often presents low levels of folic acid as a result of an increasing vitamin utilization in the skin and/or reduced gut absorption. This may result in raised levels of homocysteine. The authors investigated the correlation between serum homocysteine levels and the severity of psoriasis vulgaris measured by psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) and body surface area (BSA). Method: we performed a cross-sectional study in 36 patients with psoriasis vulgaris. The subjects comprised 16 women and 20 men. The serum levels of homocysteine were measured by competitive immunoassay method and were correlated with the severity of psoriasis (PASI and BSA). Result: in male psoriasis subjects, serum homocysteine levels positively correlated with disease severity as measured by PASI (Pearson's correlation; r = 0.615, p < 0.05) and BSA (Spearman's correlation; r = 0.476, p < 0.05). There was no correlation between serum homocysteine levels with PASI (Pearson's correlation, p > 0.05) and BSA (Spearman's correlation, p > 0.05) in female psoriasis subjects. Conclusion: a significant correlation between serum homocysteine levels with disease severity measured by PASI and BSA in male psoriasis subjects was evidenced."

"Latar Belakang: Obesitas adalah masalah kesehatan masyarakat di seluruh dunia terutama di negara berkembang. Obesitas dapat mempengaruhi status vitamin D, salah satunya dikarenakan adanya peningkatan penyimpanan vitamin D di jaringan adiposa sehingga mengakibatkan rendahnya bioavailabilitas vitamin D. Selain itu, banyaknya jaringan lemak berkaitan dengan  inflamasi kronis tingkat rendah yang menyebabkan peningkatan penggunaan vitamin D pada sel imun sehingga menyebabkan rendahnya kadar vitamin D pada kasus obesitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat korelasi antara persentase massa lemak dengan kadar vitamin D serum pada populasi dewasa dengan penyandang obesitas.Metode: Studi potong lintang ini dilakukan pada subjek dewasa dengan obesitas di Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangungkusumo, Pengukuran persentase massa lemak menggunakan bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) SECA mBCA 525. Pemeriksaan kadar vitamin D serum menggunakan kalsidiol serum dengan metode chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA).Hasil: Sebanyak 90 subjek penelitian memiliki rerata usia 41 tahun dengan jumlah subjek terbanyak adalah perempuan (59%). Sebagian besar subjek tergolong status gizi obesitas derajat II. Median kadar vitamin D serum adalah 13,4 ng/dL dengan sebagian besar subjek tergolong defisiensi vitamin D. Rerata persentase massa lemak subjek adalah 37,2 ± 8,2. Terdapat korelasi negatif antara kadar vitamin D serum dengan persentase lemak tubuh pada pada dewasa penyandang obesitas (r=-0,378, p=0,000).Kesimpulan: Terdapat korelasi bermakna berkekuatan sedang antara persentase massa lemak dengan kadar vitamin D serum pada subjek dewasa penyandang obesitas.

Background: Obesity is a global public health issue, especially in developing countries. Obesity can affect vitamin D status due to increased storage of vitamin D in adipose tissue. In addition, low bioavailability of vitamin D. Low levels of chronic inflammation is strongly associated with a large number of adipose tissue, which causes increased use of vitamin D in immune cells and causes low levels of vitamin D in obesity population. This study aims to see the correlation between the percentage of fat mass and serum vitamin D levels in the adult population with obesity.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on obese adult subjects at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. First, the fat mass percentage was measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) SECA mBCA 525. In addition, serum vitamin D levels were examined using serum calcidiol using the chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) method.

Results: A total of 90 research subjects had an average age of 41; most were female. Most of the subjects were classified as obesity class II. The average serum vitamin D level was 13.4 ng/dL, with most of the subjects classified as deficient in vitamin D. The mean proportion of subjects in fat mass was 37.2 ± 8.2. There was a negative correlation between serum vitamin D levels and the proportion of body fat in obese adults (r=-0.378, p=0.000).

Conclusion: There was a significant medium correlation between fat mass percentage with serum vitamin D in the adult with obesity."

Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease as a part of pilosebaceus. In general acne occurs during puberty, but it can also occur in young adults, and many occur in adolescents. Acne vulgaris affects 85% of young adults aged 12-25 years and consistently occupies "the top three most prevalence skin conditions" in the general population. One of the factors that influence acne vulgaris and which is still a debate pro and contra are nutritional factors. This study aims to find a relationship between vitamin D serum level and the degree of acne in adolescents. Previous researches that linked vitamin D levels with acne was not conclusive, especially in adolescents. This is a cross-sectional study that compares the mean values of serum vitamin D levels between two groups of acne levels in adolescents of high school students aged 15-18 years in the city of Depok. The total number of subjects was 60 people divided into 2 groups, 30 people in the group of mild acne vulgaris and 30 people with moderate-severe acne vulgaris. The mean of vitamin D level of the subject serum was 17.29 ± 6.77 ng / ml. The mean of vitamin D serum level in the mild group was 15.45 ± 6.7 ng / ml and moderate group was 19.13 ± 6.8 ng / ml with p = 0.034. A significant association was found between serum vitamin D levels and the degrees of acne vulgaris.

Conclusion: there is a significant relationship between serum vitamin D levels and degree of acne vulgaris. The mean of vitamin D level are lower in mild acne group than in moderate group

"Latar belakang: prolaktin adalah salah satu hormon yang segera meningkat pada keadaan stres fisis dan psikoemosional yang juga berperan sebagai neuroendokrin pada pertumbuhan sel epitel dan sistem imun kulit. Prolaktin adalah prototype mediator neuroendokrin terhadap stres. Eksaserbasi psoriasis seringkali dipicu oleh stres psikoemosional. Hal ini menimbulkan pertanyaan, apakah efek stres pada psoriasis berhubungan dengan perubahan kadar prolaktin serum. Penulis meneliti korelasi antara kadar prolaktin serum dengan derajat keparahan psoriasis vulgaris pada pasien laki-laki, yang diukur dengan metode psoriasis area severity index (PASI) dan luas permukaan tubuh (body surface area, BSA). Metode: penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan potong lintang pada 41 pasien psoriasis vulgaris laki-laki. Kadar prolaktin serum diukur dengan metode electrochemiluminescence immunoassay dan dikorelasikan dengan derajat keparahan psoriasis. Hasil: tidak ada korelasi antara kadar prolaktin serum dengan PASI (korelasi Spearman, p>0,05) dan BSA (korelasi Spearman, p>0,05). Kesimpulan: terdapat korelasi positif yang tidak signifikan secara statistik antara kadar prolaktin serum dengan derajat keparahan psoriasis yang diukur dengan PASI dan BSA pada pasien laki-laki.

Background: prolactin is one of the hormones that immediately raises at the state of physical and psychoemotional stress. It also acts as neuroendocrine in growth of epithelial cells and skin immune system. Prolactin is the prototype of neuroendocrine mediator of stress. The exacerbation of psoriasis is often caused by psychoemotional stress. It has been questionable whether stress effect in psoriasis correlates with changes in serum prolactin levels. The authors investigated the correlation between serum prolactin levels and the severity of psoriasis vulgaris in male patients, measured by psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) and body surface area (BSA).

Method: we performed a cross-sectional study in 41 male patients with psoriasis vulgaris. The serum prolactin levels were measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay and were correlated with the severity of psoriasis vulgaris (PASI and BSA).

Result: There was no correlation between serum prolactin levels and PASI (Spearman's correlation, p>0,05) and BSA (Spearman’s correlation, p>0,05).

Conclusion: there was positive correlation, but not statistically significant, between serum prolactin levels and severity of psoriasis vulgaris measured by PASI and BSA in male psoriasis subjects."
