Peran Reseptor IL-21 (IL-21R) sebagai Target Terapi Pada Penyakit Arteri Perifer
Background: Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is caused due to the disruption of blood supply to the periphery caused by blockages in the arteries. PAD is a disease that is difficult to detect and the current therapy is still limited to pharmacological therapy to reduce the risk of PAP incidence and surgical therapy if complications of PAD arise. The interleukin-21 receptor (IL-21R) is a family of interleukins that has been widely studied for its role in many diseases.
Objectives: The aim of this review is to discuss the effect of IL-21R on the pathogenesis of PAP.
Methods: A literature search was performed with PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect using the keywords “peripheral artery diseaseâ€, “interleukin-21 receptorâ€, “inflammationâ€, “angiogenesisâ€, and “therapyâ€.
Discussion: PAD can arise due to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques that block arteries so that blood supply is impaired. In the case of PAD, activation of IL-21R has the ability to stimulate angiogenesis thereby modulating the perfusion of hypoxic tissues in cases of PAD. Further research is needed regarding IL-21R activity in the future to study the potential of IL-21R for the more effective treatment of PAD cases in the future.
Conclusion: IL-21R can activate angiogenesis and avoid further tissue damage in PAP.
Keywords: interleukin-21 receptors, peripheral artery disease, therapy

Latar Belakang: Penyakit Arteri Perifer (PAP) disebabkan karena gangguan suplai darah ke bagian perifer yang disebabkan karena sumbatan pada pembuluh darah arteri. PAP merupakan penyakit yang sulit terdeteksi dan terapi yang ada saat ini masih terbatas pada terapi farmakologis untuk menurunkan risiko kejadian PAP dan terapi pembedahan apabila timbul komplikasi PAP. Reseptor interleukin-21 (IL-21R) merupakan salah satu famili interleukin yang telah banyak dipelajari terkait perannya pada banyak penyakit.
Tujuan: Tujuan dari tinjauan ini adalah untuk membahas pengaruh IL-21R terhadap perjalanan penyakit PAP.
Metode: Pencarian literatur dilakukan dengan PubMed, Google Scholar, dan ScienceDirect menggunakan kata kunci “peripheral artery diseaseâ€, “reseptor interleukin-21â€, “inflamasiâ€, â€angiogenesisâ€, dan “terapiâ€.
Pembahasan: PAP dapat timbul karena pembentukan plak aterosklerosis yang menyumbat pembuluh darah arteri sehingga suplai darah terganggu. Pada kasus PAP, aktivasi IL-21R memiliki kemampuan untuk menstimulasi angiogenesis sehingga memodulasi perfusi jaringan yang mengalami hipoksia pada kasus PAP. Masih diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai aktivitas IL-21R di masa depan untuk mempelajari potensi IL-21R untuk pengobatan kasus PAP yang lebih efektif di masa depan.
Kesimpulan: IL-21R dapat mengaktivasi angiogenesis dan menghindari kerusakan jaringan lebih lanjut pada PAP.

Iminosugar 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) sebagai Antiviral Infeksi Virus Dengue
Abstract— Dengue fever (DF), dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) caused by the DENV virus are among the global problems regarding mosquito-borne viral infections. The DENV virus is transmitted through Aedes aegypti causing clinical manifestations that can cause critical illness for patients. The need for effective antiviral therapy is needed to treat DENV virus infections. 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), one of the many imino sugars found in mulberry leaves and several strains of bacteria, has potential as an antiviral against DENV virus infection. The antiviral activity of DNJ works as an inhibitor of the α-glucosidase enzyme which is important in virus secretion so that it affects the infection rate. DNJ also has the effect of boosting the immune system to initiate an immune response to a viral infection. Further research is needed to develop DNJ as an effective antiviral DENV in the future.Keywords: antiviral, dengue, iminosugar, therapy

Threats of COVID-19 Reinfection: A Review of the Evidence from the Literature
Case of COVID-19 reinfection are related to immune factors in patients who have recovered by the natural course of the infecting pathogen. However, the chance of COVID-19 reinfection are still not well established. This review aimed to discuss about reinfection-related studies, including causes and clinical manifestations, and reinfection management. Reinfection happens when a patient is infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has a different genome from previous infection. Although the comparison of clinical manifestation between reinfection and the previous infection is not clear, it is believed that vulnerable populations may have worse outcomes. Vaccination is the main option to reduce the severity of reinfection. Further studies are needed to understand the mechanisms and management of COVID-19 reinfection. Thus, the development of COVID-19 treatment and vaccine can be more effective

ABSTRACT
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the world today. Colorectal cancer is the most common malignancy case after lung cancer and cancer as well as the biggest cause of death in the world. Although the cause of colorectal cancer has not been recognized, some risk factors such as family factors can increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Management of colorectal cancer to date is chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical therapy. Selection of colonoscopy, barium radiological examination with multiple contrast techniques, CT colonography and histological evaluation. The literature study conducted shows that there are excessive differences in histamine receptors and the presence of histamine deficiencies that affect the increase in colorectal cancer. The probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus reuteri has an anti-cancer effect by producing histamine which cannot be produced by cancer cells, so it works as an anti-inflammatory. Dates (Phoenix dactylifera) to support the activity of probiotic bacteria and have an anti-cancer effect in the content of dates. The use of probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus reuteri with date palm juice has an anti-colorectal cancer effect that is needed as a therapy in the treatment of colorectal cancer.

The Association between Religiosity and Hba1c Level in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review
Glycemic control poses a challenge in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Religiosity can influence a patient’s coping strategies with the disease. However, the relationship between patient religiosity and glycemic control has not been thoroughly explored. In this systematic review, we assessed the relationship between religiosity and glycemic control in patients with T2DM. Using PubMed and Google Scholar, we included articles published in English from 2011 onwards that quantitatively examined religiosity and its relationship with glycemic control based on the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Four studies from four different countries were included, employing varying measurement tools to assess religiosity. The HbA1c level was significantly related to the Diabetes Fatalism Index (p<0.05) and with general gratitude and gratitude to God, as assessed using the Multidimensional Measurement of Religiousness. Religiosity may alleviate stress-related diseases and enhance diabetes care. One study showed a relationship between the HbA1c levels and the Beliefs and Values score amongst Muslims only. Two studies reported a significant correlation between religiosity and HbA1c levels. Reducing fatalistic beliefs and improving gratitude to God could be a viable strategy for helping patients manage T2DM. Further studies are needed to promote such an approach in T2DM management
