Abstract : As one of the most antibiotic resistant bacteria, Acinetobacter baumannii (A.baumannii) becoming a serious threat to the global society, moreover due to the emerging of XDR A.baumannii. The study aimed to figure the A.baumannii resistance pattern and XDR A.baumannii’ prevalence, since there is only limited study published for this topic in Indonesia.We analyzed the antimicrobial agents’ usage for acquisition of A.baumannii in an observational descriptive study. This study conducted in one of the national referral hospitals, Central Java-Indonesia. We used data registered between January 2017 until December 2018, from microbiology laboratory which using VITEK® 2 as an antimicrobial susceptibility testing system. We presented the results using data classification and tabulation, which being analyzed from 699 samples that isolated from various specimens. The antibiotics susceptibility result of A.baumannii for group A primary antibiotics were: ampicillin-sulbactam 47.2% resistant; ceftazidime 65.5% resistant; ciprofloxacin 63.2% resistant; meropenem 47.7% resistant; gentamicin 60.4% resistant. While for group B primary antibiotics were: amikacin 17.9% resistant; piperacillin-tazobactam 61.7% resistant; cefepime 63.1% resistant; ceftriaxone 91% resistant; trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 18.5% resistant. Most A.baumannii were found in sputum (57.3%) and from pulmonology department (37.2 %). Among all specimens 90.6% were MDR and 9.4% were XDR A.baumannii. The antibiotics chosen for A.baumannii infections in group A were on the warning zone according to the hospital consortium, while in group B only amikacin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole were still sensitive. The high percentage of MDR and the finding of XDR A.baumannii should raise awareness among all the healthcare providers in Indonesia..

Abstract : Enterobius vermicularis (E. vermicularis) is commonly called pinworm; a nematode inhabits the human large intestine. E. vermicularis may cause immune-regulation. Therefore, the objectives of the present study were to elucidate the effect of infection with E. vermicularis on the anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines in relation to insulin sensitivity in obese children. This cross-sectional study was conduct in 2019. 41 obese children with or without enterobiasis aged 9-14 years compared with 18 healthy children were recruited from different private clinics. Pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory cytokines, glycemic indices and anthropometric profile were evaluated and then were analyzed by using SPSS software. The most common presenting feature was pruritis ani 80.95% compare to the other symptoms. Besides, most of recruited children were from low socioeconomic status 85.71% compared with 14.28% of moderate socioeconomic status. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin sensitivity, insulin resistance (IR), pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines were better in obese children with enterobiasis compared with obese children without enterobiasis, P<0.05. The present study concluded that enterobiasis improves metabolic and inflammatory profile in obese children. Enterobiasis improves insulin sensitivity, attenuates IR and pro-inflammatory cytokines through IL-10-dependent pathway.

Abstract : The concept of self-care among patients with hypertension was used frequently in the literature. However, the concept was used inconsistently, different concepts were used to indicate for self-care. Further, the concept of self-care lacks clarity and was used differently by authors from different disciplines. To increase the understanding of the self-care concept through identifying its surrogate/related terms, definitions, attributes, antecedents and consequences. In this paper, Rodgers' evolutionary method was used to trace the evolution of self-care concept among patients with hypertension. The following data bases were systematically searched Scopus, EBSCO, Pubmed and MEDLINE. Articles used were published in English during 1981-2018. A total of 61 articles were included. Analysis yielded nine surrogate/related terms, nine attributes, eight antecedents and three consequences. The concept of self-care among patients with hypertension was not consistent in the literature. Being consistent in addressing the concept of self- care will enhance the development of empirical and theoretical knowledge.

Abstract : The article mentioned the emotional support strategy for children who were sexually abused. Emotional support methods were based on the psychotherapies for non-professional use. The researcher used case study methods on a female child who was sexually abused, combined with observation, psychometric and empirical tests. Through the 3-steps process of being supported: [1] Non-directive play, [2] Life value education, [3] Simple visualization exercises, child’s negative emotions have gradually decreased. This result opened up initial applications of emotional support strategies for children who have been sexual-abused especially for non-specialist counseling and psychotherapy teams: social workers, homeroom teachers and parents; and provided the health care support’s network for children in the community.

Abstract : Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most prevalent cause of chronic kidney disease, Due to decreased sensitivity of microalbuminuria for early detection of DKD, there is new shift to other markers for early detection and prediction of DKD and to delay or prevent the development of end stage renal disease. To evaluate fibroblast growth factor 21(FGF21) as an early marker of diabetic kidney disease. 176 participants were involved and divided into 4 groups; group I comprised 44 healthy volunteers, group II comprised 44 patients with type 2 diabetes with normoalbumiuruia, group III comprised 44 patients with type 2 diabetes with microalbuminuria and group IV comprised 44 patients with type 2 diabetes with macroalbuminuria. All participants were submitted to detail clinical examination, laboratory investigations, complete blood count, urine analysis, fasting blood glucose (FBG), random blood glucose (RBG), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), serum creatinine, eGFR, albumin creatinine ratio (ACR), lipid profile and serum FGF21 levels assays. FGF21 levels were significantly higher in albuminuria groups than diabetic with normoalbuminuria and control groups. FGF21 was positively correlated with duration of diabetes, FBG, RBG, HbA1C, s.creatinine, ACR, total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG). At cutoff value more than 492pg/ml, FGF-21 yielded 82.2% sensitivity and 89.1% specificity for the differentiation of microalbuminuria. Serum FGF21 could be used as an early marker for diagnosis and identifying DKD.
