ABSTRACT Background: Obesity is a major risk factor for the onset of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) caused by chronic inflammation of the islets of langerhans. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) procedure increases particular hormone which stimulates insulin sensitivity. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can also exhibit potential immunomodulatory properties through their paracrine effects, however the mechanism regarding combination of them could not be adequately explained. Aim: In this study, we explore the potential of sleeve gastrectomy followed by injection of MSCs in type 2 diabetic rats with obesity in improving insulin resistance. Methods: This study used a pre and post control group design with 18 rats that divided into 3 groups: control (C), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), sleeve gastrectomy + MSCs (SG+M). On day 10, the level of IL-6, IL-10 and HOMA-IR were evaluated using ELISA. Results: This study showed a significant decrease of IL-6 level in all treatment groups on day 10, in which SG+M group showed optimum inhibition. This result was in line with the optimum increase of IL-10 in SG+M group. Moreover, our study also revealed the optimum decrease of HOMA-IR in SG+M group on day 10. Conclusion: Combination of SG and MSCs can optimally improve insulin resistance by modulating proinflammatory milieu though inhibiting IL-6 level and upregulating IL-10 level in obese type 2 diabetes mellitus rat model.
The social function of Islamic banking is an essential factor in the existence of Islamic banking, and research is still lacking. This study aims to analyze the trend of the social function of Islamic banking, its reporting conformity with accounting standards, and its effect on the financial performance of Islamic banking. The population of this study is Islamic Commercial Banks (ICB) registered with the Financial Services Authority (FSA) from 2014-2019. The sampling technique used purposive sampling and obtained 59 samples. The method of analysis used descriptive analysis and multiple linear regressions. The results show that fines and non-halal income still dominate the social function instrument. Social functions such as zakat, infaq, alms, and waqf tend to be low. Social reports in the form of sources and uses of zakat funds are sufficient. Reports on sources and uses of benevolent funds are also in the sufficient category, but the percentage value is lower. Internal zakat positively affects the performance of Islamic banking as measured by Return on Assets (ROA) and Operating Expenses on Operating Income (BOPO). Other variables do not affect the performance of Islamic banking as measured by ROA, BOPO, and Non-Performing Financing (NPF). This research theoretically confirms that internal zakat can encourage the growth of Islamic banking. Islamic banking must pay attention to social functions, especially zakat, an order from Islam.
Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the health problems that is growing rapidly today. In Asia, majority of the population are non-obese with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Two main defects of T2DM, insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion due to reduced pancreatic β cells. Persistent metabolic stress due to hyperglycemic conditions, causes inflammation of the islets of Langerhans. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) signaling is the most frequent pathway inducing β cell dysfunction. The bariatric Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) procedure increases particular hormone which stimulates β cell growth and pancreatic insulin production. Aside from the role as a blood glucose regulator, insulin also plays a role in anti-inflammatory modulation. Omentoplasty can be used to wrap organ or tissue structures. The Omentum has unique biological functions, including promote tissue regeneration and anti-inflammatory effect. The study evaluates the effect of Sleeve Gastrectomy and pancreas Omentoplasty procedures on β cell insulin expression and Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) serum levels in non-obese diabetes mellitus subjects.Methods: Experimental study with "post-test control group design" on 27 rats with Diabetes Mellitus was divided into 3 groups: K (control), P1 (Sleeve Gastrectomy), P2 (Sleeve Gastrectomy + Omentoplasty). 10 days after procedure, we evaluated the insulin expression of β cells using monoclonal antibody anti-insulin stain and IL-1β serum levels using rat IL-1β Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit. Statistical analysis with Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney test. Correlation test with Spearman.Results: β cell insulin expression increased in P2 (p=0.020), compared to control. While the IL-1β serum levels reduced significantly in all groups (p<0.001) compared to control. Moderate negative correlation (r = -0.476) between β cell insulin expression and IL-1β serum levels.Conclusion: Sleeve gastrectomy and omentoplasty increased β cell insulin expression and decreased IL-1 β serum levels in non-obese rats with diabetes mellitus.
Musculoskeletal disorders are often found in various types of work, including surgeons. Standing working position is immobile and rigid when performing surgical operations. The equipment used is less ergonomic which is the main parameter. The surgeon profession belongs to the category of the high-risk profession and has the potential to experience musculoskeletal disorders. Surgeons who suffer musculoskeletal disorders sense disease start from mild-to-severe due to the muscles receiving static loads frequently in the long-term. The emergence of musculoskeletal disorders can be caused by working environment conditions and standing position while working, causing injury to joints, vertebral discs, nerves, cartilage, tendons, and muscles. This paper describes in extensive the potential for reducing musculoskeletal problems with the use of a chairless chair for surgeons in carrying out operations. Musculoskeletal problems in surgery and the use of chairless chairs have been further explored to close the existing research gap.
Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a rare neoplasm representing 80% of gastrointestinal neoplasms. Laparoscopic resection is only recommended for GIST less than 2 cm and 5 cm for laparoscopic wedge resection. Thus, a large GIST is recommended to complete resection through laparotomy. A large GIST of the gastric fundus can be found in patients, which coincides with an upper right abdominal quadrant pain caused by cholecystolithiasis. A suggested laparotomy for tumor resection and cholecystectomy may result in poor recovery in the postoperative period. Therefore, one approach surgery with minimally invasive laparoscopic partial gastrectomy using Endoflex stapler and cholecystectomy was performed to achieve the optimal outcome.Case Presentation: A 43-year-old male had a major complaint of hematemesis and melena for one month and colicky pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen with increased intensity in the last two months. Contrast-enhanced abdominal MSCT revealed a solid 4.6 x 4 x 5.6 cm exophytic mass on the gastric fundus, added with 0.5 cm gall bladder stone. Laparoscopic partial gastrectomy and cholecystectomy were performed in a single minimal invasive surgical procedure. The post-operative period was uneventful. The patient experienced minimum pain, early mobilization, and better diet tolerance. He was discharged on day four after the surgery. Besides, the histopathologic result revealed a malignant mesenchymal tumor according to GIST with a tumor-free margin of resection.Conclusions: Single approach surgery with minimal laparoscopic partial gastrectomy and cholecystectomy has provided optimal outcomes for patients with large GIST and cholecystolithiasis.
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common non-communicable diseases that that is still growing today especially diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2). Diabetes in non-obese patients is an important problem to solve because it tends to be worse than DM in obese patients. Chronic hyperglycemia can damage body tissues through several mechanisms like polyol pathway, hexosamine pathway, activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and advance glycation end products (AGEs). This pathway can damage the pancreas so that insulin cannot be secreted and worsen the condition of diabetes. Sleeve gastrectomy procedure can secrete hormones such as insulin, GLP-1, PYY (Peptide YY) dan PP (Pancreatic polypeptide) which play a role in the regulation of glucose in the blood. Omentoplasty can play a role in cell regeneration, especially Langerhans β cells so that insulin can be produced adequately. Objective to evaluate the effect of Sleeve Gastrectomy and Pancreas Omentoplasty on Pancreatic VEGF Intensity in non-obese diabetes mellitus rats. Methods True experimental study with "post-test only control design" on 18 rats with Diabetes Mellitus was divided into 3 groups: K (control), P1 (Sleeve Gastrectomy), P2 (Sleeve Gastrectomy + Omentoplasty). 10 days after procedure, we evaluated the VEGF Intensity using immunohistochemistry. Statistical analysis with One Way ANOVA and Post Hoc LSD. Result Pancreatic VEGF increased in P1 and P2. In all groups in pancreatic VEGF levels were statistically significant (p = <0.01). Conclusion Sleeve Gastrectomy and Pancreas Omentoplasty increased pancreatic VEGF in non-obese rats with diabetes mellitus.
Introduction: Peutz–Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant hereditary condition mainly characterized by hamartomatous gastrointestinal (GI) polyps. Medical treatment is often sought due to complications that arise from the polyps. PJS polyps tend to be accompanied by freckling or hyperpigmentation on the lips, buccal mucosa, vulva, fingers, and toes. PJS is also associated with an increased risk for colorectal or extraintestinal tumors. Case Presentation: A 24-year-old female complained about a lump in her abdomen and constipation. The physical examination found hyperpigmentation on the lips and a hard and mobile mass on the left quadrant abdomen. We found a descending-sigmoid colon tumor with multiple polyps on all colon mucous and performed total colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis on the laparotomy operation. Two months later, Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed multiple polyps on Duodenum 1, II, and gaster. The colon tumor pathology result showed welldifferentiated adenocarcinoma. Conclusions: Peutz–Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) can develop into malignant intestinal tumors that require surgery for resection of the tumor.
