Background: The National board of medical examination (“UKMPPD) has been implemented since August 2014 and has emerged a new challenge for medicine faculty in Indonesia in which there are 2769 “UKMPPD CBT” retakers in November 2017. It is the same challenge for Faculty of medicine, university of baiturrahmah (FMUNBRAH) where there are 82 CBT retakers in February 2018. The “UKMPPD” as a determinant of graduation should represent the process of conducting competency-based curriculum during preclinical and clinical program. Thus the GPA as a measure of student performance in conducting the curriculum is expected to correlate in  achieving the “UKMPPD CBT”. Aims: To determine the correlation between preclinical GPA score of students with achieving the “UKMPPD CBT”.  Methods: It was cross sectional design consisting subject of 749 students who joined “UKMPPD CBT” as firstaker since November 2014-February 2018. Data obtained were preclinical GPA and the results of “UKMPPD CBT”. GPA data was grouped into three categories with satisfying, very satifying, and cum laude predicate. The results of “UKMPPD CBT” were grouped by achieving and not achieving. Furthermore, the data was analyzed using Sommers'd correlation test. Results: The median value of preclinical GPA were 3.00 (2.35-3.76). There is a weak negative correlation between preclinical GPA with achieving of “UKMPPD CBT” (p <0.001; value r = -0.221). Conclusion: There is a weak negative correlation between GPA with the accomplishement of UKMPPD CBT. This result can provide feedback to institutional managers regarding the process of implementing the curriculum based competency.

Background: It is important to maintain the adequate level of vitamin B6 to ensure stable metabolism. Vitamin B6 serum level might decreased by absorption disturbance or increasing demand. Valproic acid increase the synthesis of serum GABAergic in the other hand vitamin B6 is required as cofactor for gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) formation. The dosage and duration of valproic acid therapy might be correlated with vitamin B6 serum level. The aim of this study is to know the correlation between vitamin B6 serum level against dosage and duration of valproic acid therapy in children with epilepsy.Materials and Methods: This is a cross sectional study to investigate the correlation between vitamin B6 serum level against dosage and duration of valproic acid therapy. The level of vitamin B6 serum was determined by checking vitamin B6 active form in serum, pyridoxal 5’-phospate (PLP).Results: In this study, 37 epilepsy children with valproic acid duration therapy more than 3 months was enrolled. Fifty six percent epilepsy children were male, commonly on children age 1-5 years old. Spearman correlation coefficient test showed a significant weak negative correlation between vitamin B6 serum level and dosage of valproic acid (r=–0.35; p=0.03), and very weak negative correlation with valproic acid duration therapy (r=-0.08; p=0.59), however it was not significant. Conclusion: There was a significant weak negative correlation between vitamin B6 serum level and very weak negative correlation with valproic acid duration therapy, but not significant in children with epilepsy.Keywords: correlation, valproic acid, vitamin B6

Objective We investigated factors affecting the disability assessment Longshi scale, and differences between the Longshi and Barthel scales, as well as modified Rankin scale (mRS), to determine whether the Longshi scale is superior to the other scales. Methods This cross-sectional study included 721 participants with disability. We performed the t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation test, and multiple linear regression to analyze group differences and define explanatory variables. Results The Longshi scale had a strong positive correlation with the Barthel scale (r = 0.868) but a weak negative correlation with the mRS (r = –0.185). Scores obtained among seven study hospitals in two provinces of southeast China were significantly different (F = 8.034). Social activities of participants with disability can be positively predicted using the Longshi (β = 0.251) and Barthel scales (β = 0.276). However, age has a weak negative correlation with the Longshi scale (r = –0.163). Conclusion Training did not cause significant variations in assessment using the Longshi scale. However, the results differed among different regions. The Longshi scale showed a strong correlation with the Barthel scale but a weak correlation with the mRS. Assessment time was shorter using the Longshi scale and the scale can be used to predict the social activities of individuals with disability.

The family planning program has a very appropriate role in addressing population growth. Most family planning participants chose injections and pills, while medical operative for women contraceptives (tubectomy) and medical operative for men (vasectomy) are the least preferrable. Based on National Board of Population and Family Planning data 2017, the majority of new family planning participants in Indonesia are dominated by family planning participants who use non-long-term contraception methods by 79.48% of all new family planning participants. The use of long-term contraceptive methods from year to year has increased compared to non-long-term contraceptive methods, but there is more interest in acceptors to use non-long-term contraceptive methods. The research objective is to examine the relationship between demographics, socio-economics, husband's support, and the use of medical operative for women contraceptives device (tubectomy). The research type is inferential research with cross-sectional design. The sample in this study was 40 EFAs, of which 20 EFAs used medical operative for women contraceptives (tubectomy), and 20 couples of childbearing age used non-medical operative for women contraceptives (tubectomy). The study results showed that the level of education, age, income, and husbands' motivation are not related to the use of medical operative for women contraceptives (tubectomy). However, the number of children is related to the use of medical operative for women contraceptives (tubectomy). The researcher's suggestion is to conduct education-related for pregnancy management so that the people can estimate the number of children, the distance of pregnancy, and the risk of pregnancy.

Abstract Cancer prevalence in Indonesia is 1.8 per 1000 population in 2018. Early diagnosis is needed to reduce the mortality rate and one of which is by examining vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) level as tumor markers. VMA is a catecholamine metabolite whose level will increase in several neuroendocrine tumors. This study was conducted to determine the proportion of positive VMA in urine of patients with suspected neuroendocrine tumors in Jakarta and its association with age and gender. This study was a cross-sectional design using secondary data of urinary VMA laboratory examination from 295 patients who suspected neuroendocrine tumors period 2010 to 2019 in Laboratory of Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia. Qualitative examination of urinary VMA used spot test. Positive examination result showed levels of VMA in urine >8mg/24 hours, while negative result showed  8mg/24 hours. Inclusion criteria were subject data with a provisional diagnosis of neuroblastoma, pheochromocytoma, and paraganglioma. The proportion of positive VMA in urine of suspected neuroendocrine tumor patients was 14,2%. There was a significant association between VMA in urine with age (p 0,023), while gender was not significant (p 0,885). In conclusion, there was an association between urinary VMA of suspected neuroendocrine tumor patients with age, however no association with gender.   Keywords: neuroendocrine tumors; urinary vanillylmandelic acid; age; gender     Abstrak Prevalensi kanker di Indonesia pada 2018 adalah 1,8 per 1000 penduduk. Diagnosis dini dibutuhkan untuk mengurangi angka mortalitas, salah satunya melalui pemeriksaan penanda tumor berupa vanillylmandelic acid (VMA). VMA termasuk metabolit katekolamin yang meningkat produksinya pada beberapa tumor neuroendokrin. Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengetahui proporsi VMA positif dalam urin pasien dugaan tumor neuroendokrin di Jakarta serta hubungannya dengan usia dan jenis kelamin. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross-sectional yang menggunakan data sekunder hasil pemeriksaan laboratorium VMA urin dari 295 pasien dugaan tumor neuroendokrin periode 2010 hingga 2019 di Laboratorium Departemen Biokimia dan Biologi Molekuler, Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Indonesia. Data VMA kualitatif yang diperoleh, diperiksa dengan metode spot test. Hasil positif menunjukkan kadarnya > 8 mg/24 jam, sedangkan hasil negatif menunjukkan kadarnya  8 mg/24 jam. Kriteria inklusi berupa diagnosis sementara neuroblastoma, pheochromocytoma, dan paraganglioma. Proporsi VMA positif dalam urin pasien dugaan tumor neuroendokrin adalah 14,2%. Terdapat hubungan bermakna antara kadar VMA dalam urin dengan usia (p 0,023), sedangkan dengan jenis kelamin menunjukkan hasil yang tidak bermakna (p 0,885). Dengan demikian dapat disimpukan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara VMA urin pasien dugaan tumor neuroendokrin dengan usia, namun tidak terdapat hubungan dengan jenis kelamin.   Kata kunci: tumor neuroendokrin; vanillylmandelic acid urin; usia; jenis kelamin
