"Pendahuluan : Nyeri kanker bukan hanya terjadi akibat dari kanker itu sendiri namun mencakup pengobatan, efek samping pengobatan, proses diagnosis dan hal lain yang tidak berhubungan dengan penyakit kanker itu sendiri. Dalam penanggulangan nyeri banyak obat analgetik yang digunakan sehingga menimbulkan efek samping. Baik nyeri yang tidak teratasi maupun efek samping pengobatan nyeri dapat mempengaruhi kualitas hidup pasien dengan nyeri kanker. Salah satu pendekatan terapi non farmakologi yang dapat digunakan adalah menambahkan akupunktur pada terapi standar nyeri. Akupunktur telah terbukti dapat menurunkan intensitas nyeri. Namun, aplikasi pada pasien kanker masing jarang dilakukan dalam praktek rawat inap rumah sakit. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai efektivitas manual akupunktur dalam mengurangi intensitas nyeri yang dinilai dengan skor Visual Analog Scale (VAS) dan peningkatan kualitas hidup yang dinilai dengan The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30)pada pasien nyeri kanker ginekologi yang dirawat inap .Metode : Desain studi ini adalah uji klinis acak terkontrol tunggal dengan kontrol terapi standar. Penelitian ini diikuti oleh 58 pasien kanker ginekologi yang mengalami nyeri pada saat rawat inap. Subjek penelitian dialokasikan secara acak ke dalam kelompok perlakuan (n=29) dan kontrol (n=29). Pada kelompok manual akupunktur dan terapi standar diberikan terapi akupunktur pada titik LI4 Hegu, PC6 Neiguan, LR3 Taichong dan ST36 Zusanli, dilakukan setiap hari selama 3 hari, sementara pasien pada kelompok kontrol pasien hanya menerima terapi standar berupa obat analgetik saja.Hasil : Penambahan terapi manual akupunktur dalam terapi standar didapatkan perbedaan signifikan dalam intensitas nyeri pada hari pertama, penurunan nyeri pada hari pertama dan kedua bila dibanding dengan hanya terapi standar. Pada penilaian kualitas hidup didapatkan peningkatan kualitas hidup yang lebih menyeluruh dengan penambahan manual akupunktur pada terapi standar dibanding hanya terapi standar saja. Penggunaan analegetik pada kelompok manual akupunktur dan terapi standar lebih sedikit dibanding terapi standarKesimpulan : Penambahan manual akupunktur pada terapi standar meningkatkan penurunan intensitas nyeri, meningkatkan kualitas hidup dan menurunkan dosis obat analgetik.

Introduction: Cancer pain does not only occur as a result of cancer itself but includes treatment, side effects of treatment, the diagnosis procedure and other things that are not related to cancer itself. In treating pain, many analgesic drugs are used which can cause side effects. Both unresolved pain and side effects of pain treatment can affect the quality of life of patients with cancer pain. One non-pharmacological therapy approach that can be used is adding acupuncture to standard pain therapy. Acupuncture has been proven to reduce pain intensity. However, its application to cancer patients is rarely carried out in hospital inpatient. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of manual acupuncture in reducing pain intensity as assessed by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score and patient quality of life assessed by The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ- C30) in hospitalized gynecological cancer pain patients.

Methods: The design of this study is a single randomized controlled clinical trial with standard therapy controls. This study followed 58 gynecological cancer patients who experienced pain during hospitalization. Research subjects were randomly allocated into treatment (n=29) and control (n=29) groups. In the manual acupuncture and standard therapy groups, acupuncture therapy was given at points LI4 Hegu, PC6 Neiguan, LR3 Taichong and ST36 Zusanli, carried out every day for 3 days, while patients in the control group only received standard therapy in the form of analgesic drugs.

Results: The addition of manual acupuncture therapy to standard therapy resulted in a significant difference in pain intensity on the first day, a decrease in pain on the first and second days when compared with standard therapy alone. In assessing the quality of life, it was found that there was a more comprehensive improvement in quality of life with the addition of manual acupuncture to standard therapy compared to standard therapy alone. The use of analgesics in the manual acupuncture and standard therapy groups was less than standard therapy

Conclusion: The addition of manual acupuncture to standard therapy increases pain intensity reduction, improves quality of life and reduces the dose of analgesic drugs."

"The term "Inflammatory Bowel Disease" (IBD) is frequently used to denote two diseases, ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). This condition is frequently recorded in the West, and along with development of diagnostic facilities, is beginning to be more commonly found in Indonesia.The etiology of this disease is still unclear, but it is suspected that environmental, geographic, and genetic factors are involved. Cytokines play a great role in the pathogenesis of IBD, where in IBD there is an unbalance of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inhibitor cytokines. In IBD, there is an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, and alpha TNF in the intestinal mucosa. Such increase significantly correlates with the activity of ulcerative colitis through endoscopic examination,At this moment, forms of therapy for IBD associated with cytokines are being developed, such as ways to inhibit cytokine synthesis, cytokine release, cytokine activity and the cytokine signaling pathway in the target cell."

"Karsinoma hepatoselular (KHS) masih menjadi masalah utama di seluruh dunia, terutama dalam hal diagnosis dan penatalaksanaannya. Penelitian terdahulu menyatakan bahwa Alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AAG) merupakan biomarker potensial dalam mendiagnosis KHS. Penelitian ini akan mengkaji nilai titik potong terbaik AAG sebagai biomarker diagnostik KHS dengan sirosis hati.Penelitian ini merupakan studi diagnostik dengan desain potong lintang. Subjek penelitian ini adalah pasien KHS dengan sirosis hati, sebagai kontrol pasien sirosis hati saja. Baku emas yang digunakan adalah USG abdomen dan CT scan abdomen degan kontras 3 fase, bila perlu dilakukan biopsi hati. Semua subjek diperiksa AAG, kemudian dianalisis dengan ROC dan dikaji beberapa titik potongnya.Subjek terdiri dari 25 pasien KHS dengan sirosis hati dan 37 pasien sirosis hati sebagai kontrol. Dari seluruh pasien KHS dengan sirosis hati, 92% laki-laki, 8% perempuan, sebagian besar berusia diatas 50 tahun (72%). Etiologi terbanyak adalah infeksi HBV (56%) dan sebagian besar dijumpai nodul multiple (80%). Dengan menggunakan ROC, didapatkan AUC sebesar 81,44%. Titik potong terbaik untuk mulai mewaspadai KHS dengan sirosis hati adalah 61 mg/dl dan untuk diagnostik adalah 136 mg/dl.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major problem throughout the word, especially in diagnostic and management of therapy. Previous study stating that Alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AAG) was a potensial biomarker in diagnostic of HCC. This study will assess the best cut-off value of AAG as a diagnostic biomarker of HCC with liver cirrhosis

This study was a diagnostic study with a cross-sectional design. The subjects were HCC with liver cirrhosis patients and as a control were liver cirrhosis patients. The abdominal ultrasound, the abdominal 3 phase contrast CT scan and liver biopsy (if necessary) were the gold standard in this study. All subject were examined AAG, then analyzed by ROC curve and assess of some cut-off value.

Subject consisted of 25 HCC with liver cirrhosis patients and 37 liver cirrhosis patients as a control. HCC with liver cirrhosis patients were 92% of men and 8% of woman. Most of subjects were over 50 years old (72%). HBV infection was the most etiology and found multiple nodul in the liver (80%). ROC curve evaluation showed, the AUC value were 81,44%. From this study, the best cut-off value to be aware of HCC with liver cirrhosis patient was 61 mg/dl and as a diagnostic was 136 mg/dl."
