PENGARUH KETOTIFEN SEBELUM PEMBERIAN ATRAKURIUM SEBAGAI FASILITASI INTUBASI TERHADAP KADAR HISTAMIN SERUM

Latar Belakang : Atrakurium merupakan obat pelumpuh otot golonagn nondepolarisasi lama kerja menengah (intermediet). Pelepasan histamin adalah efek samping utama dari atrakurium. Histamin salah satu mediator kimia yang dikeluarkan oleh sel mast pada saat degranulasi yang sebelumnya didahului adanya intraksi dengan antibodi IgE yang mengikat antigen (alergen). Histamin dapat menyebabkan reaksi anafilaksis baik bersifat lokal maupun sistemik. Ketotifen sebagai antihistamin dan agent stabilisasi sel mast, telah terbukti mencegah terjadinya degranulasi sel mast yang akan melepaskan berbagai mediator kimia, termasuk histamin. Tujuan : Untuk mengetahui apakah pemberian ketotifen dapat mengendalikan pelepasan histamin dari sel mast yang terjadi pasca pemberian atrakurium pada tindakan intubasi endotrakeal. Metode : Eksperimental uji klinis dengan desain randomized controlled tria double blind. 30 sampel yaitu pasien dengan status fisik ASA I dan ASA II yang akan menjalani operasi dengan anestesi umum, dibagi menjadi dua kelompok. Kelompok Eksperimen terdiri dari 15 pasien yang diberikan ketotifen oral dua kali, yaitu masing-masing 2 mg pada malam dan pagi sebelum pembedahan yang diberikan dalam bentuk kapsul dan Kelompok Kontrol terdiri dari 15 pasien yang diberikan plasebo oral dua kali, yaitu masing-masing satu kapsul pada malam dan pagi sebelum pembedahan. Dilakukan sampling darah vena 3 mL yang diambil sesaat sebelum pemberian atrakurium dan tiga menit setelah pemberian atrakurium. Dianalisis dengan quantitative histamine immunoassay ELISA reader. Kadar histamin yang didapat dianalisa dengan uji statistik nonparametrik Mann-Whitney U untuk mengetahui perbedaan kadar histamin serum sebelum dan sesudah antara kelompok eksperimen dengan kelompok kontrol. Hasil : Ada perbedaan yang signifikan, kadar histamin serum sesudah pemberian atrakurium anatra kelompok eksperimen dengan kelompok kontrol, dimana kelompok eksperimen yang mendapatkan ketotifen kadar histaminnya lebih sedikit (peningkatan 22%) dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol yang mendapatkan plasebo (peningkatan 183%). Kesimpulan : Ketotifen mempunyai peran dalam pencegahan pelepasan histamin pasca pemberian atrakurium dengan signifikan. Kata Kunci : Ketotifen, histamin, atrakuriu Background : Atracurium is a nondepolarizing muscle relaxant agent which has intermediate duration . Histamine release is a major side effect of atracurium . Histamine is a chemical mediator released by mast cells upon degranulation which preceded the interaction with IgE antibodies that bind to antigen (allergen) . Histamine can cause anaphylactic reactions both localized and systemic . Ketotifen as an antihistamine and mast cell stabilizing agent , has been shown to prevent mast cell degranulation which will release various chemical mediators, including histamine . Objective: Analyzing whether administration of ketotifen is effective in controlling the release of histamine from mast cells that occurs after atracurium administration in endotracheal intubation , by calculating differences in serum histamine levels with and without administrating prior ketotifen. Methods : Experimental design of clinical trials with double-blind randomized controlled trial . Thirty samples of the patients with ASA physical status I and II who will undergo surgery with general anesthesia, were divided into two groups . Experimental group , the treatment group was consisted of 15 patients who were given oral ketotifen twice, each 2 mg at night and morning before surgery is given in the form of capsules. Control Group , is a patient group consisted of 15 patients who were given placebo orally two times , ie each one capsule in the night and morning before surgery . Taking 3 mL venous blood sampling were taken just prior to atracurium administration and three minutes after administration of atracurium. Analyzed by quantitative histamine ELISA immunoassay reader . Histamine levels obtained were analyzed by statistical tests nonparametric Mann-Whitney U. Results : There were significant differences (P<0.05), serum histamine levels in the experimental group were given ketotifen when compared with a control group given a placebo . Conclusion : Ketotifen has a role in preventing the release of histamine after admistration atracurium with significant result. Keywords : Ketotifen, histamine, atracurium

Integrated Growth Potential of Scenedesmus sp. using Public Market Wastewater via Phycoremediation Process

Malaysia has been experiencing water pollution crisis over a decade and one of the causes is the direct discharge of public market wastewater (PMWW) into the drains. Therefore, phycoremediation of wastewater especially from public market sources with microalgae is proposed. The current work aimed to investigate the potentially of Scenedesmus sp. to remove nutrient from PMWW. Nutrient profile and the ability of Scenedesmus sp. to phycoremediate was tested for five (5) different concentrations of PMWW (10, 25, 50, 75, and 100%) during 19 days of treatment process. The process involves growing the Scenedesmus sp. in the PMWW which is contributing to utilize the nutrients to grow. The results indicated that Scenedesmus sp. is effective to reduce total nitrogen (TN) (91.51%), total phosphorus (TP) (92.67%), and total organic carbon (TOC) (90.20%) for 50% concentration of PMWW. Meanwhile, for the 100% of PMWW concentration Scenedesmus sp. capable to remove TN (57.49%), TP (62.92%) and TOC (50.10%). At 50% PMWW, the maximum removal of heavy metals was also recorded which were 87.21 for Fe, 86.07% for Zn, 91.47 for Cr, and 88.97% for Cd. It concluded that Scenedesmus sp. can grow effectively in the 50% PMWW than in the 100%PMWW but still be able to reduce the rate of nutrient for all samples. These findings revealed the applicability of PMWW as a medium and economical way for microalgae biomass production

Pendekatan Resolusi Konflik Dalam Upaya Pencegahan Konflik Regional Pada Era Digitalisasi

Several decades ago, internal conflicts in ASEAN countries became the world's spotlight. Even the impact is very alarming because it causes humanitarian crises, trauma due to armed conflict, violent extremism, and losses to government. Then came the time of international trade tension which had an impact on the economic growth of ASEAN countries. The purpose of this study is to reveal the role of the conflict resolution approach in efforts to prevent regional conflicts in the era of digitalization. Not without reason, the still lack of mutual trust and a less proactive attitude in addressing the situation of conflict between countries made the conflicting ASEAN countries decide to resolve bilaterally or resolve cases to external parties outside ASEAN. The era of digitalization is a hot issue in the trade war and can trigger tension between ASEAN countries. Of course this is not expected, therefore prevention efforts must be made. The literature study method was chosen to examine various findings that support this research to build a strategic model of the importance of the conflict resolution approach in the digitalization era. The results of the study stated that the government must show its credibility and put forward a proactive attitude, ethics in doing business, and building mutual trust and good cooperation between ASEAN countries. A conflict resolution approach can be an alternative to preventing regional conflicts by means of non-violence
