At the start of preelampsia there is a failure of cytotrophoblst invasion into the maternal spiral arteries that will lead to decreased uteroplacetal perfusion which will be followed by the failure of the unit fetoplacenter to get enough oxygen from the room intervillous that ultimately lead to a state of hypoxia in placenta. This will cause the expenditure of TNF-α dan IL-1β from placenta and a factors called hypoxia-inducible transcription factors that will spur the trophoblast to produce activin A lot more. This research was conducted by cross sectional method in maternal room of obstetrics and gynecology department of Central General Hospital of Dr. M. Djamil Padang from August 2015 until February 2016 with 20 patients of severe preeclampsia and 20 patients not severe preeclampsia, who met inclusion criteria and there is no exclusion criteria. Then performed statistical analysis using Mann-Whitney test to determine difference in mean maternal activin A serum levels of severe preeclampsia and not severe preeclampsia. The mean maternal serum levels of activin A in severe preeclampsia is 32,55 ± 1,84 ng/ml and in pregnancy with no severe preeclampsia is 8,59 ± 0,59 ng/ ml. Difference in mean maternal serum level of activin A in the two groups was statistically significant (p=0,001). Ma-ternal serum activin A levels is significantly higher in severe preeclampsia than pregnancy with no severe preeclampsia.Keywords: Activin A, severe preeclampsia, not severe preeclampsia

Recent evidence suggests that vascular calcification is an independent cardiovascular risk factor (CRF) of morbidity and mortality. New studies point out the existence of a complex physiopathological mechanism that involves inflammation, oxidation, the release of chemical mediators, and genetic factors that promote the osteochondrogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). This review will evaluate the main mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology and genetics modulation of the process of vascular calcification. Objective. A systematic review of the pathophysiology factors involved in vascular calcification and its genetic influence was performed. Methods. A systematic review was conducted in the Medline and PubMed databases and were searched for studies concerning vascular calcification using the keywords and studies published until 2020/01 in English. Inclusion Criteria. Studies in vitro, animal models, and humans. These include cohort (both retrospective and prospective cohort studies), case-control, cross-sectional, and systematic reviews. Exclusion Criteria. Studies before 2003 of the existing literature.

Increasing evidence suggests that attachment plays an important role in obesity. However, few studies examined this relationship in preschool children. This study aimed to systematically examine the empirical, peer-reviewed evidence regarding the relationship between attachment quality and obesity in the preschool years. Using established guidelines, relevant peer-reviewed literature published between 2000 and July 2021 was searched through EBSCO. This yielded a total of 1124 records for review. Established inclusion criteria comprised: empirical studies published in peer-review journals; include at least one anthropometric measure and/or food consumption measure. Exclusion criteria comprised: attachment measures not following Bowlby-Ainsworth conceptualization of the construct; children in institutionalized settings; context of severe mental illness, documented substance use disorders, or eating disorders; include only a measure of the psychological aspects of eating; intervention programs. After exclusions, eight studies with a total of 9225 participants met the inclusion criteria. Results support the role of attachment in weight-related outcomes, suggesting that considering attachment in the risk of obesity could contribute to the elaboration of effective prevention and intervention programs. Limitations included the small number of studies, predominately cross-sectional designs, the diversity of methodologies, most samples not including fathers, and lack of evidence about the developmental mechanisms underlying the association between attachment and obesity. More evidence is needed to determine how attachment and obesity are linked, and the potential underlying mechanisms accounting for this relationship.

Preeclampsia-eclampsia is a main complication of pregnancy in which the incidence is increasing world-wide and is associated with maternal morbidity and mortality. P-selectin (CD62P) is released from the cell surface and circulation as soluble molecules in the plasma. Both forms of, as membrane and soluble forms, p-selectin is an agonist of the process of thrombosis and inflammation. This research was conducted by cross sectional method in maternity emergency room of obstetrics and gynecology department of Central General Hospital of Dr. M. Djamil Padang from June 2015 through the sample size is met with 20 patients of severe preeclampsia and 8 patients of eclampsia, who met the inclusion criteria and there is no exclusion criteria. Then performed statistical analysis using t-test to determine differences in mean serum levels of p-selectin and platelet of severe preeclampsia and eclampsia. Differences in mean serum levels of p-selectin and plate-let in the two groups were statistically significant (p = 0.000). Activated platelets at eclampsia is higher than severe preeclampsia, which is indicated by the high levels of p-selectin serum and low platelets remaining in eclampsia than severe preeclampsia.Keywords: P-selectin, Platelet, Severe Preeclampsia, Eclampsia

Objectives. To investigate whether the incidence of acute appendicitis increases in summer and whether complicated cases present more in summer. Methods. A single-center cross-sectional, retrospective study on 697 cases of appendicitis admitted in the year 2018. Inclusion criteria: patients admitted with acute appendicitis who underwent appendectomy of all ages. Exclusion criteria: conservative management. Analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel. Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to assess the correlation between monthly incidence of appendicitis and mean temperature in that month. Results. Fifty-one patients who were managed conservatively were excluded. Accordingly, 646 patients were included. Ages ranged from three to 77 years. Males comprised the majority (500, 77.4%). Gangrenous, perforated, and purulent appendices were regarded as complicated appendicitis. The highest number of cases were admitted in summer (234), comprising 36.2% of cases. Complicated cases were equal to 65, of which 23 (35.4%) were admitted in summer and 30 (46.2%) in winter. The highest number of cases was during the month of July (68), while the lowest (40) was during February. This corresponded to the highest recorded mean temperature (36.2°C) and second lowest (19.8°C), respectively. Moderate positive correlation (Pearson’s R 0.5183) between the monthly incidence of appendicitis and the mean temperature is noted. Conclusion. More cases of appendicitis were noted during summer. Monthly incidence correlated positively with the temperature. Larger numbers over several years are needed to draw better conclusions and reach the possible causes behind such variation.
