<p>ABSTRACT<br />Non-enzymatic vitamin C (ascorbic acid) plays an important role in the medicinal field and acts as antioxidants use in fruits and vegetable such as<br />lemon, orange, grapes, carrots, tomatoes, grapefruit, beans, broccoli, and mangos. It helps to prevent and stop of various diseases such as lung cancer,<br />asthma, and wheezing and finding an antibronchospastic effect. Other factors such as diet have also been implicated in the development of lung<br />cancer. Despite the extensive research conducted in this area, the relationship between diet and lung cancer is still not clear. Diets high in fat and<br />low in vegetables and fruits may increase the risk of lung cancer and other fact eating of tobacco and smoking of cigarette. Lung tissue damage due<br />to high levels of free radicals in cigarette smoke causes direct (tissue oxidation) and indirect (release of oxidizing agents and enzymes). Vitamin C is<br />necessary for phagocytosis. It plays a significant role in daily life, dietary system like eating food, vegetable and smoking of cigarette. It helps to prevent<br />or stop the damage the lung tissue/or cause lung cancer. The present review studied that application of vitamin C act as antioxidant in lung cancer like<br />diseases such as lung-cancer and role in lung function.<br />Keywords: Review, Non-enzymatic antioxidant (vitamin C), Lung function, Lung diseases.</p>

Implementation of the smoke-free neighborhood program in YogyakartaPurposeThis study aimed to identify the successfulness of smoke-free neighborhood and to understand the relationship between the householders' knowledge and household smoking status. MethodsAn observational analytic study was conducted using cross-sectional surveys. Chi-square, Fisher exact and logistic regression tests were used to analyze the correlation between variables. ResultsFrom those numbers, qualified households which fulfill the program criteria were 76.1% and 75.9%, respectively. To be more specific, in smoke-free neighborhood, about 56.8% householders were under smoking status and 43.2% householders were identified as ex- or non-smoker. Bivariable analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between educational background, age, knowledge, and perception of householder with smoking status. The last model of multivariable analysis showed that knowledge, and age of householders was related to household smoking status. ConclusionThis study shows that smoke-free neighborhood program has not yet affected passive smoker protection significantly. A more specific controlling program to improve the knowledge especially for elderly (> 45 years old) has to be increased in smoke-free neighborhood of Yogyakarta.

Background Data suggesting history of direct or indirect contactto cats are either protective, has no effect or increase risk ofsensitization and asthma development.Objective To determine the relationship between childhoodcontact to cat and the development of asthma in children.Methods A case control study was conducted in Denpasar sinceDecember 2006 until Juli 2008. In this study, subjects withasthma (cases group) were selected for comparisons to a series of healthy subjects without asthma (controls group). Forty-sevensubjects (3-12 years) with asthma were recruited and matched(age and sex) with 4 7 healthy and non asthma controls. Data were collected using two kinds of questionnaires, i.e: ISAAC, ATS 78, and Robertson modification questionnaire from Medical School, University of Indonesia, which had been validated to determine asthma and asthma risk factors questionnaire. Data were analyzed as univariate by using chi-square or Fisher's exact test, and multivariate analysis by stepwise logistic regression model.Results Result of univariate analysis showed that there were seven significant risk factors of asthma. Using multivariate analysis, contact to cat was significant risk factor for asthma [OR: 4.5 (95% CI 1.3 to 16.0), P= 0.020]. Other significant risk factors were; contact to cockroach [OR: 11.7 (95% CI 2.6 to 51.6), P= 0.001], use of kapok mattress [OR: 6.4 (95% CI 1.4 to 29.0), P= 0.015], passive smoker [OR: 4.7 (95% CI 1.3 to 17.0), P= 0.018], and atopic history [OR: 9.2 (95% CI 2.3 to 36.7), P= 0.002].Conclusions There was a relationship between childhood contactto cat and the development of asthma in children. Risk factors that statistically significant were; contact to cockroach, use of kapok mattress, passive smoker, and history of allergy in study subject.

Abstract:  Eye is one of the reflection of physical, mentality and spirituality. Survey by WHO revealed that  1/3 of world’s population especially adult is smoker (57% men and 43% women).  Most of smokers had no awareness of the danger of smoking. About 4000 types of chemicals substance and 60 carcinogenic compounds contain in a cigarette and addictive. This research aim to determine the relationship between smoke exposure with complaints that occur in eyes.  The study wasan  analytical method retrospectively that conducted from November to December 2012 at Terminal Malalayang using.  The data was collected using a questionnaire with 100 people responden (50 smoker and 50 non-smoker). The result showed that 32 responden is smoker with a moderate smokers (11-21 bars) and 29 responden is a passive smoker. Data was analyze with ANOVA test that indicate increasing complaint for smoker group than non smoker group that consist of red eye (0.000), eye irritation (0.000), gritty eyes (0.000), eye lacrimation (0.000), itchy eyes (0.000) and increased frequency blink (0.000). Keywords: Smokers, non-smokers, eye complaint    Abstrak : Mata merupakan cerminan dari kondisi fisik, mental dan spiritual. Menurut hasil survey dari WHO sepertiga dari penduduk di dunia terutama pada populasi dewasa adalah perokok (dimana 57% diantaranya adalah laki-laki dan 43% diantaranya adalah perempuan).

Dietary Modifications

Background: Vitiligo is the most common acquired pigmentary disorder in the world. Due to alterations in physical appearance, vitiligo is a psychologically devastating disease. Although treatment options exist, a cure for this disease has yet to be discovered. Of recent interest in vitiligo is the relationship between diet and disease. Objective: To review various dietary modifications and supplementation used in the management of vitiligo. Materials and Methods: A thorough evaluation of recent literature using the keywords “vitiligo, diet, supplement, antioxidant, vitamin, mineral, zinc, copper, gluten-free, celiac disease, alternative medicine” in the NCBI PubMed search function was performed. Results: A total of 39 relevant articles were reviewed and critically evaluated. Conclusion: Initial studies regarding the treatment of vitiligo through dietary modification are promising, although further studies are needed in multiple populations to explore the therapeutic value of these interventions.

The Relationship

The oxidation hypothesis for CHD (coronary heart disease) is attractive; however, the almost universal failure of antioxidant vitamin supplementation as a CVD (cardiovascular disease) risk modifier challenges the oxidation hypothesis, at least as a concept that easily ‘translates’ into clinical benefit for the population. At the same time, quality prospective data on lipid or protein oxidation markers as predictors of vascular events are sparse. In the present issue of Clinical Science, Woodward and co-workers provide much needed prospective data examining the relationship between markers of oxidative damage and CHD outcome in a general population. Despite noting the expected associations between several established CHD risk factors and CHD events, no significant link was observed between measured oxidation markers and CHD risk, a finding which further challenges the oxidation hypothesis for CHD.

A review is given of information on the galactic-centre region obtained from recent observations of the 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen, the 18-cm group of OH lines, a hydrogen recombination line at 6 cm wavelength, and the continuum emission from ionized hydrogen.Both inward and outward motions are important in this region, in addition to rotation. Several types of observation indicate the presence of material in features inclined to the galactic plane. The relationship between the H and OH concentrations is not yet clear, but a rough picture of the central region can be proposed.

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.
