HUBUNGAN TINGKAT STRES SESEORANG DENGAN PERUBAHAN INTENSITAS NYERI PUNGGUNG BAWAH(NPB) DI RSUP DR. KARIADI SEMARANG

Background : Low back pain (LBP) is a painful sensation on the lower back which may be associated with the spinal cord and other surrounding structures. Based on the data from RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang Hospital, there is an increase of LBP patients from 2014-2015 (from 449 patients to 683 patients). A known risk factor of LBP is psychological factors, such as stress that may lead to increased and eventually LBP. Aim : To ascertain the correlation between individual stress levels and LBP intensity changes in RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang Hospital. Method : This research was analytical observational research with a cohort retrospective design. Samples were obtained through consecutive sampling from medical records of the Neurology Clinic of RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang Hospital, and a total of 43 samples were obtained.. Data were collected with two measurement scales: Ardell Wellness Stress Test and VAS score. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and logistic regression analysis. Results : There is a significant correlation between stress and LBP intensity, with a p value = 0,004. No meaningful correlation was found between age, gender, occupation, duration of work hours, education, past illnesses and rest duration with LBP intensity, with p values respectively 0,604; 0,059; 0,231; 0,202; 0,451; 0,618; 0,308 and 1,000. Conclusion : There is a significant correlation between stress and LBP intensity. Key words : Stress, low back pai

Hubungan Tingkat Stres Seseorang Dengan Perubahan Intensitas Nyeri Punggung Bawah (Npb) Di Rsup Dr. Kariadi Semarang

Latar Belakang : Nyeri Punggung Bawah adalah nyeri pada daerah punggung bawah yang dapat berkaitan dengan masalah tulang belakang dan organ atau jaringan disekitarnya. Data NPB di RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang meningkat dari tahun 2014-2015 (449 pasien-683 pasien). Faktor risiko terjadinya NPB salah satunya adalah faktor psikologi yaitu stres yang akan menyebabkan ketegangan otot yang berakibat terjadinya NPB.Tujuan : Mengetahui hubungan tingkat stres dengan Perubahan intensitas pasien NPB di RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang.Metode : Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian observasional analitik dengan rancangan retrospektif kohort. Sampel didapatkan dari data rekam medis di Poli Saraf RSUP Dr. Kariadi yang diperoleh dengan cara consecutive sampling dan didapatkan 43 penderita NPB. Pengumpulan data menggunakan dua skala: skala The Ardell Wellness Stress Test dan skala VAS. Analisis data menggunakan uji chi square dan uji Regresi Logistik.Hasil : Teradapat hubungan yang signifikan antara stres dengan Perubahan intensitas NPB dengan nilai p sebesar 0,004. Tidak didapatkan hubungan antara umur, jenis kelamin, pekerjaan, lama kerja, lama sakit, pendidikan, riwayat penyakit, dan lama istirahat dengan intensitas NPB dengan nilai p masing - masing sebesar 0,604; 0,059; 0,231; 0,202; 0,451; 0,618; 0,308; dan 1,000.Kesimpulan : Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara stres dengan intensitas NPB

Progressive Vertical and Horizontal Phytocompound Changes during Agarwood Formation in <i>Aquilaria sinensis</i> after <i>Geotrichum candidum</i> Injection

(1) Background: Agarwood is an aromatic resin produced by the host tree through an immunological response against biotic and abiotic stress. The aim was, first, to use the fungus Geotrichum candidum to stimulate compound changes in Aquilaria sinensis horizontally (color formation) and vertically (cutting layers) after injection with it. (2) Methods: Horizontal and vertical sections were collected and separated five months after injection with the fungal broth. Two grams of dry powder was mixed with 20 mL methanol for 3 h at room temperature, and the solution was vibrated in an ultrasonic cleaner bath at 40 °C for 1 h. After vacuum drying, a concentration of 10 mg/mL of the tested samples in methanol was prepared for reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis. (3) Results: The horizontal changes in the compounds and their concentrations were associated with color. Compared to the normal (N) group, G. candidum injection stimulated more compounds at RT 27–42 in the white (W) group, brown (BR) group, and black (B) group. Furthermore, a significant increase in fatty acids was observed in the W group, implying an early plant response after G. candidum injection. In the BR group, the compounds were more similar to commercial agarwood (Out group). In the B group, alkaloids were the main compounds. Vertical changes in the main compounds were not observed, although the compound level varied. A TLC analysis determined the main compounds in the BR group at 254 nm and in the B group at 365 nm. Higher fatty acid levels were found in L6 and L5 and were correlated with higher terpenoid and sesquiterpene levels, suggesting that these compounds were possibly the first stage of agarwood formation. A GC/MS analysis demonstrated that the main compound groups were almost identical to the BR parts. (4) Conclusions: The injection of G. candidum led A. sinensis to synthesize different phytochemicals horizontally, not vertically, in the BR group
