Abstract

Background: The stunting rate in Indonesia in 2022 was 21.6%. I was reduced when compared to the SSGI data in 2021 of 24.4%. The stunting rate appears to be decreasing from year to year, but a joint commitment is still needed to achieve the target of reducing stunting to 14% by 2024. Stunting prevention is a much more effective step than stunting treatment itself. Prevention of stunting can be done by optimizing the role of mothers in the golden phase of child development. stunting prevention in Indonesia still focuses on pregnancy and toddlers, while prevention during the preconception period is still limited.Purpose:To synthesize and critically effective steps that can be taken to prevent stunting in the preconception periodMethods:The research method employed was a literature review, conducted by using primary studies from PubMed, google scholar, and ScienceDirect with the keywords “stunting; prevention; praconception” published between 2017-2023, in English, open access, and relevant to the topicResults:A total of 397 research articles were screened for eligibility, and 15 articles met the inclusion criteria. Based on the 15reviewed articles, devide into three themes: Nutritional status during preconception, Supplementation during preconception and Lifestyle during preconceptionConclusion: This review found that there are several efforts made in preventing stunting in the preconception period. it is recommended that health workers can optimize the prevention of stunting in the preconception period.

Abstract

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major health burden globally. The prognosis of CRC is strongly influenced by the presence of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and lymph node (LN) metastasis. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) is a cytokine with a complex role in CRC progression. This study aimed to evaluate the significance of TGF-β expression in predicting LVI and LN metastasis in CRC. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 50 patients diagnosed with CRC. The expression of TGF-β was assessed using immunohistochemical staining and the Allred scoring system. The relationship between TGF-β expression and the presence of LVI and LN metastasis was analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: High TGF-β expression was significantly associated with both LVI (p = 0.011) and LN metastasis (p = 0.012) in CRC. Patients with high TGF-β expression had a higher risk of LVI and LN metastasis compared to those with low TGF-β expression. Conclusion: TGF-β expression is a significant predictor of LVI and LN metastasis in CRC. This finding has potential implications for risk stratification and treatment decisions in CRC patients.

Abstract

Introduction: Many studies have been done on vitamin D, but there is still a lack of data regarding Vitamin D receptor (VDR) level and infertility, whereas VDR has a vital role in the action of vitamin D. Objective: To determine the differences in VDR levels between women with primary infertility and women without fertility problems. Method: This is a case-control study on women with and without fertility problems in Padang City, conducted from March 2023–January 2024. Serum VDR levels (ng/ml) were examined using the ELISA method in the Biomedicine Laboratory at Andalas University. Differences in VDR levels were calculated using the independent T-test. Results: There were 60 subjects divided into 30 subjects with infertility and 30 subjects without fertility problems. Subjects with primary infertility had more 31-35 years and >35 years old patients (54.8% and 66.7%), more overweight and obese BMI patients (50% and 83.3%), and had experienced infertility for 1-4 years (73.3%). The mean VDR levels in infertility subjects were lower than in subjects without fertility problems (1.73±0.92ng/ml and 2.35±1.30ng/ml), where this difference was statistically significant (p=0.036). Conclusion: VDR levels influence the incidence of primary infertility.

Abstract

Food poisoning is a serious problem that can have an impact on public health. This incident occurs when the food consumed is contaminated by bacteria, viruses, parasites or hazardous chemicals. Medan City is an area where food poisoning incidents occur every year. The purpose of this study is to examine the importance of the role of health workers in preventing extraordinary incidents of food poisoning. This study is an exploratory qualitative study through a phenomenological approach. The location of the qualitative research was conducted at the Medan City Health Office, in the working area of the Medan Area, Medan Deli, and Tuntungan Health Centers which were designated as research areas. Data collection was carried out through several main techniques, namely in-depth interviews with interview guidelines, observation, and focus group discussions. While The data processing process involves several stages, namely starting with data transcription, data reduction, and data presentation. The final stage is drawing conclusions and verification. Data analysis uses a triangulation approach to increase the credibility of research results, including data triangulation, observer triangulation, theory triangulation, and triangulation Methods. This study was conducted in 2024 with informants including the Disease Prevention and Control Team and the Public Health Team, the head of the health center. The results of this study indicate that efforts to prevent food poisoning outbreaks have not been going well. Where the cause is the suboptimal role of health workers in monitoring and evaluation due to limited human resources, in addition to the lack of training related to prevention and handling and the absence of a special policy for food poisoning outbreaks. This prevention can only be implemented if there is collaboration between health workers and catering owners to add a shared commitment to food safety. and it is necessary to carry out comprehensive coaching and supervision efforts. Keywords: Prevention, Extraordinary Events, Food Poisoning, Health Workers

Abstract

Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the digestive tract, primarily driven by mutations in KIT or PDGFRA genes. CD117 (c-KIT) expression is a key diagnostic marker, while the Ki67 labeling index reflects cellular proliferation. Risk stratification, often using modified NIH criteria based on tumor size, mitotic rate, and location, guides prognosis and treatment. This study investigated the distinct roles of CD117 and Ki67 expression in relation to risk stratification in GIST patients. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study examined 27 GIST cases diagnosed between January 2021 and December 2024 from three Indonesian hospitals. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues were analyzed using immunohistochemistry for CD117 (clone YR145) and Ki67 (clone K2). CD117 positivity was defined as ≥5% tumor cell staining, and high Ki67 expression as >10% nuclear staining. Risk stratification utilized the modified NIH criteria. The Chi-square test assessed correlations (p<0.05 significance). Results: The cohort predominantly comprised patients >50 years (66.7%), males (59.3%), with gastric tumors (51.9%), large tumor size (>5cm in 96.3%), spindle cell morphology (77.8%), and high mitotic rates (74.1%). Most cases (85.2%) were classified as high-risk. CD117 was positive in 81.5% (22/27) of cases but showed no significant correlation with risk stratification (p=0.561). High Ki67 expression was found in 74.1% (20/27) of cases and demonstrated a significant positive correlation with high-risk stratification (p=0.002). The combination of CD117 and Ki67 status also showed a significant association with risk stratification (p=0.001). Conclusion: While CD117 expression remains a cornerstone for GIST diagnosis and targeted therapy selection, it did not correlate significantly with risk stratification in this cohort. Conversely, a high Ki67 labeling index was significantly associated with high-risk GIST, underscoring its potential as a valuable prognostic marker alongside established risk stratification parameters.

Abstract

Background: Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) are uncommon malignancies originating in the mediastinum, characterized by considerable histopathological diversity and variable clinical trajectories. Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1), an immune checkpoint protein, is implicated in mechanisms of tumor immune evasion. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between PD-L1 immunoexpression and distinct histopathological types, as well as the Masaoka-Koga stage, in TETs. Methods: This cross-sectional investigation analyzed 29 archival cases of TETs diagnosed between January 2019 and December 2024 at the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Samples were procured via consecutive sampling from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissues. Histopathological classification was reassessed according to the WHO 2021 criteria. PD-L1 expression was evaluated immunohistochemically and quantified using the Tumor Proportion Score (TPS). Masaoka-Koga staging was determined from clinical records. Statistical analysis of correlations was performed using the Chi-square test. Results: PD-L1 immunoexpression was detected in the preponderance of cases. Low positive PD-L1 expression (TPS 1-49%) was observed in 82.8% of TETs, while high positive expression (TPS ≥50%) was noted in 10.3%. Thymic carcinoma constituted the most prevalent histopathological category (51.7%), and the majority of patients (91.7%) presented at an advanced Masaoka-Koga stage. Statistical analysis did not demonstrate a significant correlation between PD-L1 expression levels and histopathological type (p=0.195). Furthermore, no significant association was identified between PD-L1 expression and Masaoka-Koga stage (p=0.800). Conclusion: This study indicated that while PD-L1 is frequently expressed in TETs within this cohort, its expression level did not exhibit a significant correlation with specific histopathological subtypes or the Masaoka-Koga clinical stage. Further investigations incorporating larger sample sizes are warranted to delineate the precise role of PD-L1 within the complex biological spectrum of thymic neoplasms.

Abstract

Background: Endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEC) is a prevalent gynecological malignancy whose prognosis is influenced by factors including histopathological grade and lymphovascular invasion (LVI). Angiogenesis, crucial for tumor growth and metastasis, is significantly mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This study aimed to investigate the expression of VEGF in EEC and its correlation with histopathological differentiation and LVI. Methods: This observational analytical study employed a cross-sectional design using 36 archival paraffin block samples of EEC diagnosed between January 2022 and December 2024 at the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Cases were selected via simple random sampling from a population of 59. Histopathological grade (Grade 1, 2, or 3 based on FIGO architectural and nuclear criteria) and LVI (negative, focal, or substantial) were re-evaluated from Hematoxylin-Eosin (H&E) stained slides. VEGF expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry, scored semiquantitatively based on the percentage of positive tumor cells and staining intensity, and categorized as low or high. Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests, with p<0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of patients was 54.36 years, with the highest prevalence in the 51-60 age group (41.7%). Grade 3 tumors were most common (38.9%), followed by Grade 2 (33.3%) and Grade 1 (27.8%). LVI was present in 47.2% of cases, predominantly focal (38.9%). High VEGF expression was observed in 58.3% of EEC cases. A statistically significant association was found between high VEGF expression and higher histopathological grade (p=0.000), with 66.7% of Grade 3 tumors showing high VEGF expression. No significant association was found between VEGF expression and LVI (p=0.080). Conclusion: High VEGF expression significantly correlated with higher histopathological grades in EEC, suggesting its role in tumor aggressiveness and dedifferentiation. However, a significant association with LVI was not established in this cohort. VEGF expression warrants further investigation as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in EEC.
