The intermediate filaments consist of extensive variations of structurally related proteins with specific expression patterns in cell types. The expression pattern alteration of intermediate filaments is frequently correlated with cancer progression, specifically with the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition process closely related to increasing cellular migration and invasion. This review will discuss the involvement of cytoplasmic intermediate filaments, specifically vimentin, nestin, and cytokeratin (CK5/CK6, CK7, CK8/CK18, CK17, CK19, CK20, CSK1), in breast cancer progression and as prognostic or diagnostic biomarkers. The potential for drug development targeting intermediate filaments in cancer will be reviewed. Keywords: breast malignancy, cytokeratin, EMT, intermediate filament, keratin, nestin, vimenti

    The prognostic scoring system is used to assess the prognosis of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) patients to get the right treatment strategy. Poor prognosis, treatment resistance, and tumorigenesis have been associated with the overexpression of Myeloid Cell Leukemia-1 (MCL-1), an anti-apoptotic protein in several hematologic malignancies, including CML. Research on the correlation between MCL-1 levels and the scoring system prognostic in patients with CML is still limited. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between MCL-1 levels and the prognostic scoring system in chronic phase CML patients. This research was conducted on chronic phase CML patients who came to the Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology, Department of Internal Medicine, Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung, Indonesia. Data is collected from medical records of patients examined for MCL-1 protein levels from previous studies and results of prognostic scoring systems (Sokal, Hasford, and EUTOS. Data were analyzed to evaluate the correlation between the MCL-1 level and the prognostic scoring system. Forty patients had a male-female ratio of 1.5. The average age is 40±11 years, with an age range of 19 to 61 years. The median MCL-1 protein level was 0.27 (min 0.02-max 4.1). Statistical analysis showed no significant correlation between MCL-1 levels and Sokal, Hasford, and EUTOS scores in chronic phase CML patients (p=0.285; p=0.923 and p=0.663, respectively)

    Background: Many empirical antibiotics are prescribed unnecessarily, contributing to the rise in the incidence of antibiotic resistance. Preventing infection of surgical sites is one of the most frequent purposes of empirical antibiotic usage. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the rationality of empirical antibiotic usage among digestive surgery inpatients based on the Gyssens criteria and clinical features outcomes.Methods: A descriptive method was used with a cross-sectional design. Data was collected from medical records of patients underwent digestive surgery and had received empirical antibiotic therapy post-surgery from July to September 2021 at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia. Subsequently, the data was analyzed using the Gyssens method to qualitatively assess the rationality of antibiotic use based on specific criteria, classified from rational (category 0) to various levels of irrational use (categories I-VI). Clinical outcomes were evaluated by assessing leukocyte count, clinical symptoms of fever, and the appearance of surgical site infection before and after administration of empirical antibiotics.Results: In total, 70 empirical antibiotic prescriptions were obtained from 42 patients, with only 40% of patients using rational antibiotics, whereas 60% of antibiotics were used inappropriately (category I-VI). Clinical evaluation showed no fever, edema, or erythema and reduced leukocytosis and exudate/pus post-therapy.Conclusions: Inappropriate empirical antibiotic prescription for digestive surgery inpatients at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital based on the Gyssens criteria is high. Nonetheless, clinical outcomes showed improvements in infection-related parameters. These results emphasize the importance of stricter adherence to antibiotic stewardship and regular evaluation of empirical antibiotic practices to optimize usage and patient outcomes

Aaptamine is an alkaloid compound that has been proven to have various effects, however, no studies have yet investigated its effects on adipogenesis. This study aims to examine whether aaptamine inhibits lipid accumulation and Pparg and Slc2a4, two important genes in adipogenesis, mRNA expression, and increases the methylation of the Pparg promoter. This study strengthens the insights regarding these genes regulation, with future research potentially expanding to other adipogenic regulators for a broader perspective.Methods: The effects of aaptamine (0 μM, 25 μM and 50 μM) were investigated in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The adipocytes were differentiated using a medium containing 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, dexamethasone, and insulin. Cell viability was evaluated by the MTT assay, gene expression was analyzed by RT-qPCR, and lipid accumulation was determined using Oil Red O staining. Pyrosequencing was performed to measure the methylation of the Pparg promoter region.Results: Aaptamine treatment significantly dose-dependently decreased lipid accumulation and inhibited Pparg and Slc2a4 mRNA expression. However, there were no significant differences in the methylation level of the Pparg promoter.Conclusion: Aaptamine inhibits lipid accumulation and Pparg and Slc2a4 mRNA expression while maintaining the methylation level of the Pparg promoter during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation.Keywords: aaptamine, adipocyte differentiation, DNA methylation, Pparg, Slc2a

    Background: Snakebite is considered a global health issue, especially in the Southeast Asian region. However, data regarding snakebite cases in Indonesia are still very limited. This study aimed to explore the venomous snakebite cases and the serum anti bisa ular (SABU) antivenom effect in treating venomous snakebite caused by other than the snake species indicated in currently available SABU antivenom formulas.Methods: The analytical descriptive method with a cross-sectional study design was conducted in 2021 using a total sampling from the medical records of 63 patients diagnosed with snakebite at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung from 2015 to 2019. Characteristics of patients, clinical manifestation, and correlation between snakes species and outcomes after treatment with or without administration of SABU antivenom were collected.Results: Out of 63 patients, males (79%) were predominant with an average age of 39 years. Fifty-six patients arrived at the Emergency Room less than 24 hours after the occurrence (89%). Most cases were categorized as grade 2 (41.%) where the upper extremities were commonly bitten the body area (64%). Edema (83%) was the most common manifestation. There was no correlation between snake antivenom administered to a specific snake species and the stated outcome (p=0.053), meaning that SABU antivenom might be an effective alternative to treat more types of snakebites.Conclusions: Snakebites are most common in males, attack the upper extremities, categorized as grade 2 with edema. Administration of SABU antivenom provides the similar outcome compared to the group caused by the Javan spitting cobra, Banded krait, and Malayan pit viper
