Results: The post-operative IL-6 serum level showed a downward trend compared to pre-operative value (mean decrease: -190.61 pg/mL). The post-operative IL-6 level was significantly associated with GCS 7 days post-operation (p = 0.006), with OR 24. The post-operative IL-6 serum level was significantly associated with GOS 3 months post-trauma (p = 0.016) with OR 11.6. The post-operative uric acid…
Background: This study was done to determine the effect of root extract of Acalypha indica Linn (akar kucing) in protecting neuron viability ofthe rat hippocampus on tissue culture in hypoxic condition. Methods: This is an experimental study of in vitro prirnary cell culture of hippocampus of Sprague Dowley aduh rat. The cultures were group into control (C) and exposure to root extract of Aca…
Background: Hypoxia hypobaric increase the production of free radicals, especially reactive oxygen species (ROS). The increase in ROS would cause oxidative stress when not accompanied by an increase in antioxidant enzymes. This condition may minimize by intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH). This study aimed to identify the number of IHH which may minimize the effect of hypoxia hypobaric on oxid…
