Obesity is a substansial public-health crisis in numerous developing country including Indonesia. Morbidity and mortality in adult population is increased in individuals who were overweight in adolescence even if they lose the extra weight during adulthood. Many factor influencing occurence of obesity, such as food pattern and activity pattern.The aims of this study was to describe risk factor of obesity of obese students. Samples were 2006's obese students of Riau University who had doing medical Checkup in Balai Kesehatan of Riau University. A descriptive study conducted on 27 obese students in Riau University class 2006. variables of this study are risk factor of individual and family, food pattern, and activity pattern. Obese criterian was taken by measured BMI. Food pattern and activity pattern was taken by using questionnaire. This study showed that 15 students (55,5 %) wereobese II (BMI > 30), 100 % students are central obesity, 59% students had mild consumtion risk factor and 22% students had high consumtion risk factor. 16 % student had mild and 74 % student had high activity risk factor.
Abstract-Neonatal sepsis is a clinical syndrome of bacteremia and divided into two different types, early-onset neonatal sepsis and late-onset neonatal sepsis. Sepsis promotes the unbalanced production of oxidant and anti-oxidant substances, causing an excess of free oxygen compounds. Early markers of neonatal sepsis have been studied in recent years, and this study proposed another parameter to detect early-onset neonatal sepsis with the use of advance oxidation protein products (AOPPs). This study was conducted in April -June 2012, saliva and serum specimens were taken from 81 newborns, in which 39 infants were at risk of sepsis and 42 infants were healthy and served as a control group. Data was analyzed by using Mann-Whitney test and Spearman correlation test. This study suggested that there is significant difference between AOPPs level on the case group compare to the control group. This study also found that there is significant difference between salivary AOPPs level compare to serum AOPPs level. As the conclusion, this study proposed that the AOPPs parameter may be used as another marker to detect early-onset neonatal sepsis.Index Terms-Early-onset neonatal sepsis, free oxygen compounds, AOPPs.
Prevalence of malnutrition in Indonesia is still high although it has some potential source of nutrients. Seluang fish (Rasbora spp.) is a river fish consumed by the people of South Kalimantan, Indonesia. This study analyzed the improvement of nutritional status in the malnourished rats after treatment with Seluang Fish. The study used malnourished white rats (Rattus norvegicus) using a low protein and fat diet for 8 weeks. The rats were divided into three groups; malnourished group (M) without other dietary treatment, standard diet (P1) and seluang diet (P2) for a period of four weeks. The malnourished group was sacrificed first, and after four weeks treatment, other groups were sacrificed; blood and bones were taken for weight, protein levels, hemoglobin levels, bone length, bone calcium levels and IGF-1 levels. The results showed that the average of body weight for all the studied groups ranged between 190 to 220g. Seluang diet had the highest serum protein levels (4.388 mg/dL), hemoglobin (19.7 mg/dL) and IGF levels (388.7 ng/mL). Standard diet had the longest bone length (3.547 cm) and the highest Calcium levels of 1.68 mg/g. Based on these results, it was concluded that Seluang fish may have the potential to improve the nutritional status of malnourished rats.
Abstract-Neonatal sepsis is a clinical syndrome in the first months of infant life due to a systemic response caused by the presence of pathogenic microorganisms or their products in the blood. Sepsis promotes the unbalanced production of oxidant and anti-oxidant substances, causing an excess of free oxygen radicals. Early markers of neonatal sepsis have been studied in recent years, and we proposed another parameter to detect early-onset neonatal sepsis with salivary antioxidative index (SAOI), saliva has been shown as blood representatives and to have many benefits. This study was conducted in April -June 2012, saliva specimens were taken from 57 newborns, in which 32 infants were at risk of sepsis and 25 infants were healthy and served as a control group. Data was analyzed by Mann-Whitney test. We concluded that sepsis possibility 3,7 fold when there are low AOI. This parameter may be used as another marker to detect early-onset neonatal sepsis.
