Pendahuluan Proses penyembuhan luka post amputasi dan luka bakar dengan luas 25% dan kedalaman derajat III serta hipoalbuminemia sedang (albumin 2,6g/dL) dan status gizi kurang memerlukan terapi gizi spesifik tinggi protein. Laporan Kasus Tn.I, laki-laki, 28 tahun dikonsul oleh bagian bedah dengan luka post amputasi dan  luka bakar listrik derajat III luas 25%. Keluhan utama asupan makan kurang sejak 16 hari terakhir karena nafsu makan kurang akibat nyeri pada luka post amputasi dan luka bakar. Ada nyeri ulu hati dan demam menggigil. Asupan 24 jam 1000kkal. Pasien didiagnosis dengan status gizi kurang (LLA=80,7%), status metabolik anemia normositik normokrom (Hb 9.7 g/dl), deplesi sedang sistem imun (TLC 940/µL), hipoalbuminemia (albumin 2,6g/dL) dan status gastrointestinal fungsional. Terapi nutrisi dengan energi 2500 kkal, protein 2 gr/kgBBI/hari (23%), karbohidrat 57% dan lemak 20 %, melalui oral berupa makanan biasa 1250 kkal, ONS glutamine 2.5g/hari, suplementasi 6 butir putih telur (protein 31,5g/hari), vitamin C 1g/24jam, vitamin A 6.000IU/12jam, vitamin B1-100mg, vitamin B6-200mg, vitamin B12-200mg, Zinc 50mg/24jam, selenium 55µg, Curcuma 400mg/8jam dan ekstrak ikan gabus 2 kapsul/8 jam. Setelah perawatan 30 hari, terjadi perbaikan dalam penyembuhan luka, peningkatan LLA menjadi 23,5cm, peningkatan hemoglobin 9.3g/dl, peningkatan sistem imun (TLC 2064/µL), peningkatan albumin 3.9g/dL. Kesimpulan Terapi nutrisi spesifik dengan protein 2 gr/kgBBI dapat meningkatkan kadar albumin dan mempercepat penyembuhan luka pada pasien luka bakar.

Abstract Background: Vitamin B6 has attracted renewed interest because of its role in homocysteine metabolism and its possible relation to cardiovascular risk. We examined the plasma B6 vitamers, pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP), pyridoxal (PL), pyridoxine (PN), and 4-pyridoxic acid (4-PA) before and after vitamin B6 supplementation. Methods: Patients (n = 90; age range, 38–80 years) undergoing coronary angiography (part of the homocysteine-lowering Western Norway B-Vitamin Intervention Trial) were allocated to the following daily oral treatment groups: (A), vitamin B12 (0.4 mg), folic acid (0.8 mg), and vitamin B6 (40 mg); (B), vitamin B12 and folic acid; (C), vitamin B6; or (D), placebo. EDTA blood was obtained before treatment and 3, 14, 28, and 84 days thereafter. Results: Before treatment, PLP (range, 5–111 nmol/L) and 4-PA (6–93 nmol/L) were the predominant B6 vitamers identified in plasma. During the 84-day study period, the intraindividual variation (CV) in patients not treated with vitamin B6 (groups B and D) was 45% for PLP and 67% for 4-PA. Three days after the start of treatment, the increases in concentration were ∼10-, 50-, and 100-fold for PLP, 4-PA, and PL, respectively. No significant additional increase was observed at the later time points. The PLP concentration correlated to the concentrations of 4-PA and PL before treatment, but not after treatment. The PL concentration correlated with 4-PA before and after treatment. Conclusions: Vitamin B6 treatment has an immediate effect on the concentrations and the forms of B6 vitamers present in plasma, and the changes remain the same during prolonged treatment. Our results suggest that the B6 vitamers in plasma reflect vitamin B6 intake.

In recent times, there have been many scientific evidences which suggest that wholesome vegetarian diets offer significant advantages compared to diets containing meat and other foods of animal origin. The benefits ranges from lower intakes of cholesterol, saturated fats, animal proteins and higher intakes of dietary fiber, vitamin C and E, carotenoids, magnesium, folic acid,  and other phytochemicals. However, it is often said that vegetarian diet lacks the nutrients like vitamin B12, proteins, zinc, calcium etc., but if an “Appropriate diet with proper planning” involving supplements is consumed, these deficiencies will never exist. Through the present editorial, I would like to show few benefits of having a vegetarian meal. Keywords: Vegetarian diet, Benefits, Cardiovascular diseases, Cataracts, Kidney stones, Hyperlipidemia, Obesity.
