BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of death among gynecologic malignancies. Poor prognosis is mainly due to the high incidence of advanced stage at the time of diagnosis as well as low estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) expression. Based on it, further understanding is needed to predict the course of disease. AIM: This study aims to evaluate the expression of ER and PR with the stages of endometrioid-type ovarian carcinoma as the more frequent type carcinoma at Sanglah General Hospital, Bali. METHODS: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 36 samples of endometrioid-type ovarian carcinoma examined at Anatomical Pathology Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University/Sanglah General Hospital, Denpasar. The histopathological diagnosis, grade, and tumor size, as well as determination on hematoxylin-eosin staining were assessed. The expression of ER and PR was examined using immunohistochemical stain. Data were analyzed using the SPSS version 15 software for risk analysis and p < 0.05 was assumed statistically significant. RESULTS: Most of the samples were from 41 to 50 years of age group (41.7%) and the average age was 51.1 ± 9.80 years old. Based on the degree of differentiation, Grade 2 was the most common cases (38.9%). However, the tumor size assessment revealed that T3 was predominant (41.7%). Positive ER and PR expressions were obtained in 18 samples (50.0%) and 14 samples (38.9%), respectively. Fisher’s exact test showed a significant association between ER expression with grade (odds ratio [OR]: 6.25; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.327–29.432; p = 0.018) and tumor size (OR: 4.375; 95% CI 1.027–18.629; p = 0.043). A similar findings also found in PR expression with grade (OR: 15.60; 95% CI 1.728–140.829; p = 0.004) and tumor size (OR: 6.12; 95% CI 1.394–26.876; p = 0.016). CONCLUSION: ER and PR expressions are significantly associated with grade and tumor size in the endometrioid-type ovarian carcinoma.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the level of familiarity of hospital personnel with the executive instruction on breastfeeding promotion in the hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on hospital personnel who had entry criteria. Their awareness of the breastfeeding guidelines was checked and recorded on the checklist. This checklist consists of two parts, the first part of which is the demographic information including age, gender and work experience of the participants. The second part of the checklist contains ten questions. In this study, statistical analysis was performed based on SPSS 23 software. In the statistics section, frequency and percentage were used. Results: In this study, 451 and 228 personnel of Amirkabir and Taleghani Hospitals were enrolled, 75.6% and 76.75% of Amir Kabir Hospital and Taleghani Hospital staffs had an acceptable familiarity with these guidelines. In addition, employees of Taleghani Hospital obtained higher scores than Amir Kabir Hospital staff and this difference was statistically significant. In other words, Taleghani hospital staff was generally more familiar with the guideline for promoting breastfeeding. The age of the personnel has a meaningful relationship with their level of knowledge and employees with the age of 41 to 50 years have the highest level of awareness. The level of knowledge of personnel showed a significant relationship with work experience, where the highest level of personnel awareness was observed in employees with a history of over 20 years. Conclusion: Although the awareness of hospital staff was good about the 10-point action plan for promoting breastfeeding, however, more training was needed to achieve more favorable  outcomes. Our findings showed that personnel with less work experience had less information in this regard.

Abstract Objectives: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the main causes of nosocomial infections. The hospital staff as carriers of Staphylococcus aureus have an important role in spreading it among patients. This study aimed to investigate nuc gene, as S. aureus marker and sea gene, enterotoxin A gene nasal mucosa of sari burn hospital staff. In this cross-sectional study, a nasal swab of 40 staff of Burnt hospital of Sari was collected and isolated. The S. aureus was detected by biochemical tests such as Gram stain, catalase, coagulase. Then nuc and sea genes were identified after the extraction of DNA, by PCR technique and gel electrophoresis with specific primer.Results: From the 40 strains obtained from nasal of carriers, 20 S. aureus strains were isolated, and all of them included nuc gene, while 6 samples included sea gene. Given that every 20 samples had nuc gene, therefore this gene is a strong marker for S. aureus. Also, the presence of sea genes in some samples suggested the presence of enterotoxin A in hospital staff as a healthy carrier. Also, given that hospital staffs can be carriers of Staphylococcus aureus and spreading nosocomial infections, therefore identification of the carriers to prevent the spread of infection is essential.
