Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by presence of nucleus autoantibody and affected multiple organ. Systemic lupus erythematosus is more common in women than men with ratio 2:1 to 15:1. Men with SLE often have a more aggressive clinical course, lead to a poorer prognosis compared with women with SLE. Case Report: A man, 29 years old came to hospital with main complain joint pain increased since 1 week ago, accompanied with red spot on face, trunk, hands, foot, and back, hair loss, swollen leg, mouth ulcer, and fatique. Malar rash and discoid rash were identified from physical examination. From laboratorium, ANA profile was positive for RNP/Sm, Sm, dsDNA, and histone. Skin biopsy showed a lupus discoid. Conclusion: The patient was treated with pulse-dose methylprednisolone for 3 days and showed a good response clinically.

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death globally with an incidence of adolescents and young adults in Indonesia as many as 153.705 cases. Central obesity is associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease due to increase in fasting blood glucose levels, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and blood pressure. Aims: to determine the correlation between waist circumference and fasting blood glucose levels, triglyceride levels, and blood pressure in young adults. Method: This analytic study with a cross-sectional approach involved 53 young adult subjects (18-25 years old). Waist circumference is measured using a tape measure. Blood sugar and triglyceride levels were measured using Cobas® 6000 analyzer machine from blood samples of subjects after fasting for 8-12 hours. Blood pressure data are obtained by measurement using aneroid sphygmomanometer. Results: In this study, the mean waist circumference of the research subjects was 77,4 cm. No correlation was found between waist circumference and fasting blood sugar levels (p = 0,159). However, a positive correlation was found between waist circumference and triglyceride levels (p = 0,008; r = 0,332), between waist circumference and systolic blood pressure (p = 0,049; r = 0,230), and between waist circumference and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0,017; r = 0,293). Conclusion: waist circumference is positively correlated with triglyceride levels and blood pressure, but does not correlate with fasting blood sugar levels.

Introduction: Bullous systemic lupus erythematosus (BSLE) is an infrequent but distinct presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in less than 5% of lupus cases. It is characterized by vesicobullous skin eruption in SLE that can develop either before or after SLE diagnosis has been established. Distinguish between BSLE with other autoimmune blistering diseases such as bullous pemphigoid (BP), dermatitis herpetiformis, linear IgA, etc., is very important to prevent misdiagnosis. The physician must be able to combine clinical, histological and immunofluorescence finding for the diagnosis approach. We report a case of blistering skin eruption in SLE patient. Case Report: A 19-year-old female patient complained of tense blistering on her lip, face and wrists since one month ago. She was diagnosed with SLE two weeks ago. The dermatological state showed bullae and vesicle on erythematous/ normal base, erosions, excoriation and blackish red crust on the lip, face, armpit, neck, abdomen and wrists. Histopathological examination of the lesion showed sub-epidermal bullae containing PMN leukocytes consist of abundant neutrophils, only occasional eosinophils and the presence of keratotic plugs. Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) of the skin showed linear deposition of IgG, IgA, IgM and C1q at the dermo-epidermal junction. This patient exhibited similar features to both BSLE and BP with tensed clear blisters and subepidermal cleft. BSLE differ from BP by abundant neutrophils found on histopathological examination, whereas BP has abundant eosinophils. Conclusion: Immunofluorescence examination shows linear IgG in BP, whereas linear or granular IgG in BSLE. Establishing the correct diagnosis is important to prevent misdiagnosis and mistreatment.

Elder mistreatment is all activities carried out by other people towards the elderly which are classified as dangerous and causing harm, such as physical, verbal, financial or material abuse and or neglect, and violation of human rights. The incidence ranges from 3.2% to 27.5% of the elderly population, where this population is predicted to be 1.2 billion people by 2025. The main risk factors are under-reporting, individual factors, relationship factors, community factors and social factors. The diagnosis includes anamnesis of the patient, family or caregiver. Detection begins by confirming any cognitive impairment, using the Mini-Cog or Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) form. Followed by screening, which can be done using the Elder Abuse Suspicion Index (EASI) instrument, then a physical examination looks for evidence of acts of abuse or neglect. Intervention is carried out by providing medical treatment for physical injuries, temporary protection, keeping the perpetrator away from the victim, and education on patterns of mistreatment that can involve social services and law enforcement. Management includes a complete and focused examination of mistreatment, preparing a safety plan, which is providing plans to improve patient protection, as well as education on treatment goals. Patient management should use a multidisciplinary team consisting of doctors, nurses, social workers, legal representatives and administrative officers. Complete data and clear laws and regulations regarding mistreatment are needed, such as in America and Britain where absolute mistreatment is legally reported.

Introduction: Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease affecting large intestine, characterized by rectal bleeding, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and could be accompanied by extraintestinal manifestation such as fever, anemia, and weight loss. Ulcerative colitis is causing an inflammation even ulceration of the rectum which can extend to proximal colon. The incidence of this disease is increasing worldwide and its frequency is variable depend on age, race and geographic area. Thorough history and examination are needed in diagnosing ulcerative colitis, since its symptoms are similar to many other gastrointestinal diseases. Definitive diagnosis of ulcerative colitis can be obtained by colonoscopy and histopathology. Case Report: We reported a case of 53 years old man who suffered from diarrhea and weight loss for one month before admission. There were also blood and mucus in his stool. The result of colonoscopy was hyperemia and ulcers along the rectum to the caecum. Histopathology examination showed pieces of intestinal mucosal tissue covered by columnar epithelium, with goblet cell and round-oval core. The lamina propria is densely packed with lymphocyte cells, plasma cells and PMN leukocytes. This result represents chronic colitis with acute exacerbation. Conclusion: Patient was treated with mesalazine 3x1000 mg per oral, methyl prednisolone 3x16 mg per oral, and low fiber diet to achieve remission.

Introduction: Genistein, daidzein and glicytein are soybean’s isoflavones which have been known having anti diabetic effect. Fermentation process of soybean can lead to formation aglycan isoflavones which have higher bioavailability than unfermented-soybean. Aims: This research was aimed to evaluate the effect of soybean and tempeh (fermented-soybean) administration to oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in diabetic rats. Method: Twenty male Rattus norvegicus Wistar strains were used in this experiment, divided into 4 groups: standard, negative control, soybean and tempeh group. Type 2 diabetes in rats was induced by giving streptozotocin (50 mg/kgBW) and nicotinamide (110 mg/kgBW) intraperitoneally. Blood glucose were measured by using blood glucose test meter and classified into diabetes if its level above 200 mg/dL. Soybean (200 mg/kgBW/day) and tempeh (200 mg/kgBW/day) suspension were given by using gastric tube for 30 days. Results: The results showed the means of either fasting blood glucose (FBG) or 2 hours post prandial blood glucose (2hPP) of negative control were persistent above 200 mg/dL on day 15th and 30th  (p> 0,05). In soybean group there was a decrease the mean of FBG on day 15th  (p<0.05) but did not reach the normal level, and on day 30th the mean of FBG was <200 mg/dL (p<0.05) however 2hPP blood glucose was still >200 mg/dL (p<0.05). Furthermore, in tempeh group, the means of either FBG or 2hPP blood glucose reached the normal level in day 15th and 30th (p <0.05). Conclusion: the provision of tempeh was better in controlling blood sugar levels than soybean.
