"ABSTRAKAsma alergi merupakan penyakit atopi degeneratif yang disebabkan alergi atau hipersensitifitas tipe-1. Lebih dari 50% penderita asma alergi disebabkan adanya reaksi hipersensitif terhadap alergen Tungau Debu Rumah (TDR). Skrining subjek penelitian berdasarkan manifestasi asma dan Skin Prick Test (SPT) didapatkan 25 subjek atopi asma yang disebabkan alergi terhadap alergen TDR dan 21 subjek nonatopi. Respon imunitas seluler dievaluasi melalui teknik kultur Kultur sel mononuklear darah tepi (SMDT) yang diisolasi dari darah menggunakan teknik ficoll gradient. Kultur SMDT dari masing-masing subjek distimulasi dengan Alergen TDR, PHA (kontrol positif), dan RPMI (kontrol negatif) selanjutnya diinkubasi dalam inkubator CO2 5%, 37⁰C selama 72 jam. Dengan metode multiplex assay, supernatan hasil kultur dilakukan pengukuran IFNγ untuk menilai mediator proinflamasi tipe-1, Interleukin 13 (IL-13) untuk menilai mediator proinflamasi tipe-2, dan IL-10 sebagai anti inflamasi serta kadar Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase (IDO) diukur dengan metode ELISA Sandwich. Terdapat peningkatan rasio sitokin proinflamasi tipe-2 (IL13) terhadap anti inflamasi (IL10) dan penurunan rasio sitokin proinflamasi tipe-1 (IFN) terhadap proinflamasi tipe-2 (IL-13) yang dihasilkan dari kultur SMDT pada kelompok atopi asma dibandingkan dengan kelompok nonatopi. Perubahan pola keseimbangan mediator pro inlamasi tipe-1, tipe-2 dan anti inflamasi pada subjek asma alergi diduga mempengarui produksi IDO yang ditemukan secara signifikan lebih rendah dibanding subjek non atopi.

ABSTRACT Allergic asthma is degenerative atopy caused by type 1 allergic or hypersensitivity. More than 50% of people with allergic asthma are caused by hypersensitivity reactions to house dust mite allergens (HDM). Screening of research subjects based on asthma manifestations and Skin Prick Test (SPT) found 25 subjects with atopic asthma caused by allergies to TDR allergens and 21 nonatopic subjects. The cellular immune response was evaluated through a culture of peripheral blood mononuclear cell culture (PBMC) technique isolated from blood using the ficoll gradient technique. PBMC cultures from each subject were stimulated with HDM allergens, PHA (positive control), and RPMI (negative controls) then incubated in a 5% CO2 incubator, 37⁰C for 72 hours. With the multiplex assay method, IFNγ measurements were carried out by the culture supernatant to assess type 1 proinflammatory mediator, Interleukin 13 (IL-13) to assess type 2 proinflammatory mediators, and IL-10 as anti-inflammatory and Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase levels (IDO) is measured by the ELISA Sandwich method. There was an increase in the ratio of type-2 (IL13) proinflammatory cytokines to anti-inflammatory (IL10) and a decrease in type-1 (IFN) proinflammatory cytokine to proinflammatory type-2 (IL-13) resulting from PBMC culture in the asthma atopy group compared to the nonatopic group. Changes in the balance pattern of type 1, type-2 and anti-inflammatory pro-inflammatory mediators in allergic asthma subjects suspected to affect IDO production were found to be significantly lower than non-atopy subjects.

"The cytokine is one of the proteins responsible for the immune system. Several types of cytokines acting as key regulators of infection include IL-10, IL-12, and IL-14. The chemical content of Zingiber cassumunar shows potential immunomodulatory effects. This study aimed to determine the effect of the ethanol extract of Zingiber cassumunar (EEZC) on the expressions of IL-10, IL-12, and IL-14. The test animals were BALB/c mice, which were divided into five groups, i.e., normal group (untreated), negative control group (treated with 10% of tween 80), and three treatment groups that respectively received 1.25 mg, 2.5mg, and 5mg/20g BW of EEZC. The treatment was carried out for 21 days. On the 22ndday, the mice were induced with LPS intraperitoneally (except for the normal group). The interleukin expression was observed by immunohistochemistry using specific antibodies, and the expressed cells were counted under a microscope. The administration of EEZC at the doses of 1.25 mg, 2.5mg, and 5mg/20g BW for 21 days increased the expression of IL-10, IL-12, and IL-14 significantly and proportionally to the dose. and suggested the potency of extract to induce both innate and adaptive immunity. This activity may be attributable to curcumin as an active compound in this extract."

"ABSTRAKTungau debu rumah merupakan sumber alergen yang dapat menyebabkan alergi. Menurut biofisika, terjadinya alergi dalam tubuh manusia adalah hasil munculnya pencetakan alergi allergy imprinting yang berasal dari kontak tubuh manusia dengan zat dan berkembang dari pencetakan biofisik dengan substansi informasi. Penelitian dirancang dengan desain eksperimental untuk menilai dampak bioresonansi gelombang elektromagnetik terhadap perubahan profil mediator pro inflamasi type 2 IL4 dan IL13 dan mediator anti inflamasi IL10 yang dihasilkan oleh kultur sel darah lengkap yang diambil dari subjek alergi rhinitis karena tungau debu rumah. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa pada group dengan perlakuan bioresonansi didapatkan perbedaan. IL 4 dan IL13 yang diberi antigen tungau terhadap kontrol negatif lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan group yang tanpa perlakuan bioresonansi. Kadar IL10 sebagai mediator anti inflamasi lebih meningkat dibandingkan dengan group tanpa perlakuan bioresonansi. Hasil analisa respon sel darah lengkap yang menunjukkan kenaikan dari kondisi kontrol RPMI dibandingkan terhadap PHA Phytohemagglutinin menggambarkan bahwa kelompok dengan perlakuan bioresonansi dan yang tidak diberi perlakuan bioresonansi pada hari ke-7 masih hidup dan menghasilkan produksi sitokin. Produksi meditor akibat perlakuan bioresonansi gelombang elektromagnetik tidak mengubah fungsi biologik dari peran anti inflamasi yang secara fungsional dapat menghambat laju produksi inflamasi.

ABSTRACTHouse dust mites are a source of allergens that can cause allergies. In the view of biophysics the occurrence of allergies in the human body is the result of the emergence of allergy imprinting which comes from human body contact with substances and evolves from biophysical printing with the substance of information. The study was designed with an experimental design to assess the impact of bioresonance of electromagnetic waves on changes in pro inflammatory mediator profiles IL 4 and IL 13 and anti inflammatory mediators IL 10 produced by complete blood cell cultures drawn from subjects of rhinitis allergy due to dust mites home. The result shows that the group given the bioresonance treatment, the difference between IL 4 and IL 13 given the mite antigen to negative control is lower than that of group without treatment. Level of IL 10 as an anti inflammatory mediator is increased compared to the group without bioresonance treatment. Result of a complete blood cell response analysis which shows an increase in control condition RPMI compared to PHA Phytohemagglutinin illustrates that the exposed group and non exposed to bioresonance on the 7th day are viable and produce cytokine production. The production of meditators due to the exposure of programmed bioresonance treatment does not alter the biological functioning of the anti inflammatory role that functionally is able to inhibit the rate of inflammatory production.

Background: Prediabetes is a metabolic condition defined by subthreshold increase in blood glucose for diabetes diagnosis. Prediabetes causes low-level inflammation that may impair kidney function. Vitamin D3 has been shown to reduce proinflammatory factors, such as IL-6 and alleviate kidney inflammation in paracetamol toxicity. IL-6 can also be used as a kidney inflammation marker. Therefore, vitamin D3 provides an unexplored potential as an agent to reduce prediabetic kidney inflammation.

Methods: IL-6 measurement was conducted on frozen Wistar rat kidneys using ELISA. The rats were grouped into healthy for negative control and prediabetic groups. Prediabetes was induced by a high fat and glucose diet and streptozotocin injection. Prediabetic rats were further grouped into a positive control group and two intervention groups with vitamin D3 supplementation doses of 100 and 1000 IU/kgBM/day. The experiment was run for 12 weeks. Mean IL-6 concentration was ratioed with total sample protein. The ratios between the groups were tested with one-way ANOVA using IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 26 by IBM Corp.

Results: The healthy rat kidneys had a IL-6 to protein ratio of 2.379 ng/mg protein. Meanwhile, the ratios for the prediabetic rat model groups were 2.053, 1.692, and 1.609 ng/mg protein for the no supplementation, 100 IU/kgBM/day, and 1000 IU/kgBM/day groups respectively. Despite a decreasing trend with increasing supplement dosages, no statistically significant difference was found between any group.

Conclusion: Vitamin D3 supplementation at 100 and 1000 IU/kgBM/day in prediabetic rat models does not significantly reduce kidney IL-6."

"Obesitas merupakan suatu keadaan dengan akumulasi lemak yang tidak normal atau berlebihan di jaringan adiposa sehingga dapat mengganggu kesehatan. Diperkirakan lebih dari 500 juta orang dewasa di seluruh dunia mengalami obesitas dan 1,5 miliar mengalami masalah kelebihan berat badan. Pada obesitas terdapat peningkatan jaringan adiposa dimana jaringan adiposa dapat mensintesis dan mensekresi sitokin pro-inflamasi seperti interleukin-6 (IL-6). Akupunktur telah lama dikenal sebagai salah satu terapi tambahan dalam menangani obesitas. Akupunktur dapat menurunkan respon inflamasi pada jaringan adiposa dengan menurunkan infiltrasi makrofag ke dalam jaringan adiposa pada obesitas sehingga jumlah makrofag yang merupakan sumber produksi adipokin pro-inflamasi menjadi lebih sedikit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh terapi akupunktur tanam benang catgut dan intervensi diet terhadap perubahan kadar IL-6 dan indeks massa tubuh pada pasien obesitas. Uji klinis acak tersamar ganda dilakukan pada 36 pasien obesitas yang dialokasikan ke dalam kelompok akupunktur tanam benang catgut dan intervensi diet atau kelompok akupunktur tanam benang sham dan intervensi diet. Akupunktur tanam benang dilakukan 2 kali pada titik CV12 Zhongwan, ST25 Tianshu, CV6 Qihai, dan SP6 Sanyinjiao setiap 2 minggu.

Obesity is a condition with abnormal fat accumulation or excessive adipose tissue so it can disturb our health. It is estimated that over 500 million adults worldwide are obese and 1.5 billion are having problems with overweight. In obese there is an increased adipose tissue which can synthesize and secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukine-6 (IL-6). Acupuncture has long been known as an adjunctive therapy for obesity. Acupuncture can reduce inflammatory responses in adipose tissue by reducing macrophage infiltration into adipose tissue in obesity so that the number of macrophages, which are the source of production of pro-inflammatory adipokines become fewer. A double blind randomized controlled trial involved 36 obesity patients randomly allocated into catgut embedding acupuncture group with diet intervention or sham embedding acupuncture group with diet intervention. Catgut embedding therapy was given two times at CV12 Zhongwan, ST25 Tianshu, CV6 Qihai, and SP6 Sanyinjiao every two weeks. Interleukine-6 level in blood plasma and body mass index (BMI) is used to measure research output. There was a statistically significant difference within catgut embedding group with levels of IL-6 (p = 0.01; 95% CI: 0.03 to 0.23) and lower mean BMI difference of 12.33 in catgut embedding group compared with sham embedding group (p = 0.02; 95% CI: 0.05 to 0.61). The result suggest that acupoint-catgut embedding therapy combined with diet intervention is more effective in reducing IL-6 levels and BMI in obese patients."

"Latar Belakang: Panjang interval QTc dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor, salah satunya oleh inflamasi. Pada pasien COVID-19 sering terjadi badai sitokin sehingga menyebabkan peningkatan signifikan dari sitokin inflamasi, termasuk interleukin 6. Peningkatan interleukin 6 menyebabkan perubahan pada kanal ion kardiomiosit sehingga menyebabkan pemanjangan interval QTc yang berisiko aritmia.Tujuan: Mengetahui korelasi dengan melihat beda rerata kadar interleukin 6 dan panjang interval QTc, nilai titik potong kadar interleukin 6 terhadap panjang interval QTc > 500 ms dan kekuatan kadar interleukin 6 dalam menilai risiko aritmia ventrikular.Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi potong lintang dengan mengambil data sekunder rekam medik pasien COVID-19 yang menjalani rawat inap di RSCM Kiara sejak November 2020 hingga Maret 2021. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan analisis bivariat menggunakan uji Spearman.

Background: The length of the QTc interval is influenced by various factors, one of which is inflammation. In COVID-19 patients, cytokine storms often occur, causing a significant increase in inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin 6. An increase in interleukin 6 can cause changes in the ion channels of cardiomyocytes, which can lead to prolonged QTc interval which is at risk of arrhythmias.

Objective: Knowing the correlation by looking at the differences in interleukin 6 levels and the length of the QTc interval, the cut-off value of interleukin 6 levels to the length of the QTc interval > 500 ms and the strength of interleukin 6 levels in assessing the risk of ventricular arrhythmias.

Method: This study used a cross-sectional study design by taking secondary data from the medical records of COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized at RSCM Kiara from November 2020 to March 2021. In this study, a bivariate analysis was carried out using the Spearman test. Furthermore, an analysis of the mean difference in interleukin 6 levels was carried out in the subject group with a QTc interval length> 500 ms and the subject group with a normal QTc interval length. Analyzes were performed using the Receiver Operating Curve (ROC) to see the area under curve (AUC) and determine the interleukin 6 cutoff point for the QTc interval length> 500 ms.

Result: The correlation between interleukin 6 levels and the length of the QTc interval (r=0.72) was found. The median level of interleukin 6 in the group of subjects with a QTc interval > 500 ms was 99.36 pg/ml while in the group of subjects with a normal QTc interval it was 19.51 pg/mL. AUC = 0.852 was obtained to determine the cut-off point for interleukin 6 levels to the QTc interval length > 500 ms with a value of 59 pg/ml, with a sensitivity of 80.6% and specificity of 80%. The incidence of ventricular arrhythmias was not found so that an analysis could not be performed to assess the power of interleukin 6 levels to determine the risk of ventricular arrhythmias.

Conclusion: There is a correlation between levels of interleukin 6 and the length of the QTc interval. The mean difference of interleukin 6 levels in subjects with QTc intervals> 500 ms was 5 times greater than those in groups of subjects with normal QTc interval lengths. The level of interleukin 6 59 pg / mL was determined as the cutoff value for the QTc interval length> 500 ms."

"Sampai saat ini, etiologi simple bone cyst(SBC) masih belum jelas; terdapat sejumlah teori mengenai terbentuknya SBC. Salah satu teori yang paling populer adalah obstruksi vena yang berakibat pada akumulasi cairan. Cairan-cairan ini diketahui mengandung faktor resorptif tulang, diantaranya adalah interleukin-1b(IL-1b) dan prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Selain itu, parameter rasio limfosit monosit (LMR) saat ini sering dipakai memprediksi prognosis suatu keganasan, namun belum ada data yang berhubungan dengan tumor jinak. Kortikosteroid diketahui memiliki efek inhibitorik pada resorpsi tulang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kadar IL-1bdan PGE2 pada pasien SBC yang dilakukan injeksi steroid serial. Desain studi kohort prospektif dilakukan dengan menganalisis cairan kista pasien SBC yang datang ke RSCM pada bulan Januari 2018 sampai Juli 2019. Dilakukan dekompresi dan injeksi metilprednisolon asetat dosis 80-120mg tergantung dari usia dan berat badan subyek. Interval antar injeksi adalah satu bulan. Cairan dianalisis untuk mengukur kadar IL-1bdan PGE2 dengan menggunakan Quantikine ELISA(R&D System, Minnesota, Amerika Serikat), serta dinilai LMR nya. Kriteria penyembuhan tulang dinilai menggunakan kriteria radiologis Chang. Terdapat 4 subjek dalam penelitian kami, dengan median usia 12 (8-18) tahun. Seluruh subjek berjenis kelamin laki-laki.

To date, the aetiology of simple bone cyst (SBC) remains controversial. Several theories regarding its pathogenesis exist, and one of the most popular ones is venous obstruction which leads to fluid accumulation. This fluid contains bone resorptive factor, such asinterleukin-1b(IL-1b) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Corticosteroid is known to possess an inhibitory effect on bone resorption. The objective of this study is to analyze IL-1bdan PGE2 in patients with SBC who treated with serial steroid injection. This prospective study was conducted by analyzing cyst fluid of patients diagnosed with SBC who went to Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia during the period between January 2018 and July 2019. The subjects underwent decompression, and subsequently they were injected with methylprednisolone acetate. The dose of the steroid varied from 80 to 160 mg according to the subject's age and weight. The interval of each injection was one month. The fluid was analyzed for its IL-1band PGE2 levels by means of Quantikine ELISA (R&D System, Minnesota, United States). Bone healing was evaluated using Chang criteria. A total of 4 subjects (median age: 12 [8-18] years of age) were included in our study. All subjects were male. Two subjects had SBC on the proximal humerus, and the other two had SBC on the proximal femur. All cysts were active. Two subjects healed, one healed with defect, and one had persistent cyst. We found that the IL-1bof3 subjects were below3.9 pg/mlin serial injection, and one subject had IL-1blevels of6.7, 13.31, and5,42 pg/ml.Whereas, the baseline PGE2 levels in four subjects were 411, 122.5, 437.99and261,49pg/ml.TheLMRin four subjects werepada 4 subjek 6.2, 6.54, 5.4 dan 8.13.We found change in PGE2 levels in SBC fluid that was treated with serial steroid injection. We found an increasing trend after the first injection, which was followed by a decreasing trend in the subsequent injection. The IL-1β levels in all timepoint were below3.9pg/ml."

"Beberapa penelitian menyatakan bahwa infeksi cacing usus dapat menekan atopi tetapi hal ini masih menjadi kontroversi. Pada infeksi cacing respon imun mengarah ke Th2 (IL-4, IL-5 dan IL-13) serta aktivasi Treg (IL-10 dan TGF-B) yang merupakan mediator anti-inilamasi. Respon imun Th2 juga texjadi terhadap atopi. Adanya infeksi cacing kronis akan meningkatkan kadar IL-10 yang akan menekan aktivasi Th2 sehingga menekan atopi. Penelitian ini merupakan analytical cross-sectional study yang bertujuan mengetahui respon IL-10 terhadap kejadian atopi pada anak-anak dengan kecacingan. Penelitian ini melibatkan 308 anak sekolah dasar yang berasal dari daerah Ende, Nangapanda dan Anaranda, Kabupaten Ende, Flores, Nusa Tenggara Timur. Sebanyak 207 subyek diperiksa tinja secara mikroskopis untuk rnengetahui status infeksi cacing, 308 subyek dilakukan uji tusuk kulit (SPT) untuk rnengctahui status atopi, 197 subyek diambil darahnya dan dikultur (PHA, Ascaris, kontrol) lalu diperiksa dcngan Luminex untuk mcngetahui kadar IL-IO. Diperoleh hasil bahwa subyek pada daerah rural (Nangapanda, Anaranda) memiliki infeksi cacing usus lebih Linggi (Chi_squa.re test=l7,31; p=0,000) dibanding daerah urban (Ende). Subyek pada daerah urban memiliki prevalcnsi atopi lebih tinggi (OR=2,3 (95% CI=l,]2-4,78),p=0,02) dibanding subyek di rural. Kadar IL-10 terhadap PHA pada subyek dengan atopi kacang lebih tinggi (OR=0,27 (95% CI=0,09-0,82);p=0,02)) dibanding subyck tanpa atopi.

Several studies reported that intestinal helminth infection suppressed the atopy, but there were still many controversial. Immune responses from intestinal helminth infection have been known skewing towards Th2 (IL-4, IL-5 dan IL-13) and Treg activation (IL-10 dan TGF-B). Immune response to atopy is also induced Th2 response imune. The elevation of IL-10 due to chronic intestinal helminth infection will suppress Th2 activation and reduced atopy. This study is an anabutical cross-sectional study. The aim of the study is to determine IL-I0 response in atopy manifestation dom helminth infected children. A total of 310 children from elementary school at Ende (urban area), Nangapanda dan Anaranda (nual areas), Ende district, Nusa Tenggara Timur, participated in this study. Of this, 207 children were eligible for stool examination, 308 children were for skin-prick test (SPT) to determine their atopy status, 197 children were eligible for blood cultur examination (PHA, Ascaris, control) with Luminex to detennine their IL-10 titer status. The results show that children who live in the rural area (Nangapanda, Anaranda) have higher prevalence of intestinal helminth infections (Chi-square test=l7,3l; p=0,000) than children living in the urban area ( Ende). The prevalence of atopy is also higher in children living in urban (OR=2,3 (95% CI=l,l2»4,78; p=0,02) than children in rural area. IL-10 response to PHA from children who are peanut SPT positive is higher (0R=G,27 (95% CI=0,09-0,82; p=0,02) than children without peanut atopy."
