Abstract
Objective In this study, we aimed to prepare and validate an Indonesian version for the Screening Tool of Older People's Prescriptions (STOPP), which is an instrument to identify inappropriate medications for elderly patients. Methods The Indonesian version of STOPP (STOPP_INA) was developed using modified transcultural adaptation guidelines from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. Our method consisted of translating original STOPP into Indonesian (forwardly translation), synthesis of forward translation, translation into English and synthesis of back translation, a review by the copyright holder of STOPP, a review by the expert team, pretest, revision of STOPP_INA, field test, and psychometric analysis of the final version of the questionnaire. The study design for this part was quasi-experimental with purposive sampling for members of the translator's team, expert's team, and respondents in the pretest, but they were different from field testing that used purposive and postsurvey sampling for respondents. Content validity and face validity were used to construct the validity of STOPP_INA by assessing item-level content validity and correlation between items and total values. Internal consistency was measured with Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Findings The expert panel agreed on a list of 81 criteria. Five (62.50%) of expert team members agreed and could be continued to the field test without revision of STOPP_INA and 3 (37.50%) agreed with a revision. The research subjects in the psychometric test had 230 respondents, 5 (2.17%) resigned, with an average of item-level content validity index of 0.99. The construct validity analysis showed that 5-item criteria are "not valid," namely in A1, A3, B7, B10, and C3. Reliability analysis showed the Cronbach's Alpha and Cronbach's Alpha Based on Standardized Items were 0.978 and 0.979. Conclusion The expert team was be agreed on 81 criteria (100%) of adaptation of STOPP version 2 criteria. There were 5 criteria that not valid statistically, they could not be removed from the instrument because they can influence content and construct of the instrument. The STOPP_INA has been developed for the Indonesian population, currently being tested in clinical practice against elderly patients undergoing hospitalization.

Abstract
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a class III family of protein histone deacetylases involved in NAD+-dependent deacetylation reactions. It has been suggested that SIRT1 activators may have a protective role against type 2 diabetes, the aging process, and inflammation. This study aimed to explore and identify medicinal plant compounds from Indonesian Herbal Database (HerbalDB) that might potentially become a candidate for SIRT1 activators through a combination of in silico and in vitro methods. Two pharmacophore models were developed using co-crystalized ligands that allosterically bind with SIRT1 similar to the putative ligands used by SIRT1 activators. Then, these were used for the virtual screening of HerbalDB. The identified compounds were subjected to molecular docking and 50 ns molecular dynamics simulation. Molecular dynamics simulation was analyzed using MM-GB(PB)SA methods. The compounds identified by these methods were tested in an in vitro study using a SIRT-Glo™ luminescence assay. Virtual screening using structure-based pharmacophores predicted that mulberrin as the best candidate SIRT1 activator. Virtual screening using ligand-based pharmacophores predicted that gartanin, quinidine, and quinine to be the best candidates as SIRT1 activators. The molecular docking studies showed the important residues involved were Ile223 and Ile227 at the allosteric region. The MM-GB(PB)SA calculations confirmed that mulberrin, gartanin, quinidine, quinine showed activity at allosteric region and their EC50 in vitro values are 2.10; 1.79; 1.71; 1.14 μM, respectively. Based on in silico and in vitro study results, mulberin, gartanin, quinidine, and quinine had good activity as SIRT1 activators.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the appropriateness of antibiotic use and factors associated with outcomes among sepsis patients in an intensive care unit (ICU). Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out from February to May 2017 and included all adult patients with sepsis or septic shock admitted to the ICU of Dharmais Cancer Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. Data were collected from the patients' medical records. Results A total of 60 patients with sepsis or septic shock were admitted to the ICU during the study period. The most common source of infection was hospital-acquired pneumonia (61.7%) and the majority had two or more comorbidities (93.3%). There were 115 antibiotic regimens prescribed. Overall, 33.3% of patients were prescribed inappropriate types of antibiotics and 51.7% were given an inappropriate dosage. The mortality rate was 68.3%. There was a statistically significant association between patient outcome and inappropriate doses of antibiotics (P = 0.034), although not inappropriate types of antibiotics (P = 0.050). A multivariate analysis indicated that the main factors influencing patient outcome were septic shock and the presence of at least two comorbidities (P <0.050 each). Conclusion Inappropriate doses of antibiotics, a diagnosis of septic shock and the presence of at least two comorbidities were found to significantly increase the mortality rate of sepsis patients admitted to an ICU in Indonesia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the sensitivity pattern of bacterial pathogens in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary care of Fatmawati Hospital Jakarta Indonesia. METHODS A cross sectional retrospective study of bacterial pathogen was carried out on a total of 722 patients that were admitted to the ICU of Fatmawati Hospital Jakarta Indonesia during January 2009 to March 2010. All bacteria were identified by standard microbiologic methods, and their antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using disk diffusion method. RESULTS Specimens were collected from 385 patients who were given antimicrobial treatment, of which 249 (64.68%) were cultured positive and 136 (35.32%) were negative. The most predominant isolate was Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) (26.5%) followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) (15.3%) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (14.9%). P. aeruginosa isolates showed high rate of resistance to cephalexin (95.3%), cefotaxime (64.1%), and ceftriaxone (60.9%). Amikacin was the most effective (84.4%) antibiotic against P. aeruginosa followed by imipenem (81.2%), and meropenem (75.0%). K. pneumoniae showed resistance to cephalexin (86.5%), ceftriaxone (75.7%), ceftazidime (73.0%), cefpirome (73.0%) and cefotaxime (67.9%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Most bacteria isolated from ICU of Fatmawati Hospital Jakarta Indonesia were resistant to the third generation of cephalosporins, and quinolone antibiotics. Regular surveillance of antibiotic susceptibility patterns is very important for setting orders to guide the clinician in choosing empirical or directed therapy of infected patients.

Abstract
AIMS The purpose of this study was to determine the microbiology of diabetic foot infections and to assess the antibiotic susceptibility patterns. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross sectional retrospective study of 35 patients with diabetic foot infections hospitalized at the internal medicine clinic of Dr. Mintohardjo Navy Hospital, Jakarta. The data were collected from patient medical records retrospectively. The classification of the diabetic foot infections was evaluated according to Meggit-Wagner's Classification. Identification of causative microorganisms was performed by standard microbiologic methods. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using disk-diffusion method. RESULTS During January to December 2012, a total of 288 of diabetic patients were admitted to hospital, and 35 patients had diabetic foot infections. According to Meggit-Wagner's classification the most common disease was grade 3 in 31.4% patients, followed by grade 2 in 25.7%, and grade 4 in 17.3% of patients. Conservative diabetic control care was carried out in 37.1% of patients, and surgical intervention was carried out in 62.9% of patients. A total of 59 pathogens were identified. The most common infecting microorganism isolated on pus cultures was Staphylococcus aureus (47.5%), followed by Pseudomonas spp (16.9%), E. coli (10.2%), Streptococcus spp. (8.5%), Enterobacter spp. (7.0%), Proteus spp. (6.7%), and Acinetobacter spp. (3.2%). Overall, 37.2% of the diabetic foot infection caused by a single microorganism, and 62.8% had polymicrobial infections. The most frequently administrated antibiotic was ceftriaxone (40.0%), followed by ciprofloxacin (11.4%), and meropenem (8.6%). CONCLUSION Diabetic foot infections (62.8%) were polymicrobial. S. aureus was most commonly found in the foot infection. Most of the microorganisms isolated from diabetic foot infection were resistant to many types of antibiotics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate antibacterial activity of the Indonesian water soluble green tea extract, Camellia sinensis, against clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (MRSA) and multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR-P. aeruginosa). METHODS Antimicrobial activity of green tea extract was determined by the disc diffusion method and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by the twofold serial broth dilutions method. The tested bacteria using in this study were the standard strains and multi-drug resistant clinical isolates of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, obtained from Laboratory of Clinical Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia. RESULTS The results showed that the inhibition zone diameter of green tea extracts for S. aureus ATCC 25923 and MRSA were (18.970 ± 0.287) mm, and (19.130 ± 0.250) mm respectively. While the inhibition zone diameter for P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and MDR-P. aeruginosa were (17.550 ± 0.393) mm and (17.670 ± 0.398) mm respectively. The MIC of green tea extracts against S. aureus ATCC 25923 and MRSA were 400 µg/mL and 400 µg/mL, respectively, whereas the MIC for P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and MDR-P. aeruginosa were 800 µg/mL, and 800 µg/mL, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Camellia sinensis leaves extract could be useful in combating emerging drug-resistance caused by MRSA and P. aeruginosa.

Abstract
Detection and genotyping of group A rotavirus strains from stool samples in young children with diarrhea in Indonesia were examined using reverse transcription-nested multiplex PCR. Of 421 stool specimens, 257 samples was rotavirus positive. G1 type was the most common G-type (54%), followed by G2 (6%) and G9 (3%). P[8] was the most common P-type (39%), followed by P[6] (19%), P[4] (10%) and P[11] 1%. Eighteen percent of the samples had mixed G genotype infection and 5% had mixed P genotype infection. The prevalence of G-P combination type was genotype G1P[8] (24%), followed by G1P[6] (7%), G2P[4] (3%), and G1P[4] (2%). A total of 118 specimens could not be assigned as a G and/or P type suggesting the presence of new circulating genotypes in Indonesia.

Abstract
Ambulatory anaesthesia is an anesthesia allowing the return of the patient home the same day. Even if the ambulatory hospitalization can, in theory, be applied to a prisoner as to every patient, caution is essential in such approach. Every anaesthetist reanimator doctor practicing in public hospitals may give care to patient prisoners while he is far from dominating all features of the prison world and while he must put down his therapeutic indications. The ambulatory anaesthesia in prison environment does not guarantee full security for the patient. Procedures could be set up between hospital complexes, caretakers practicing within penal middle (Unit of Consultation and Ambulatory Care [UCAC]) the prison service and hospital, the prefecture, to identify possible ambulatory interventions for a patient prisoner and to set up all guarantees of patient follow-up care in his return in prison environment. The development of interregional secure hospital units (ISHU) within teaching hospitals, allows an easier realization of interventions to the prisoners, but exists only in seven teaching hospitals in France.

Abstract
Splenic injury during pregnancy after blunt abdominal trauma is rare. The physiological and anatomical changes during pregnancy modify the clinical, biological and radiological signs. The authors report a case of a 30-year-old-woman in the 32nd week of pregnancy, with an isolate splenic injury after a motor vehicle accident. Splenectomy was realised 4 days after an initial decision of abstaining from surgery. In pregnancy, the frequency of recurrent bleeding, the possibility of concomitant uterine injuries and the risk of foetal loss should modify the surgeon's attitude to splenic rupture after abdominal blunt trauma.

Abstract
We have cloned a gene that complements the cold-sensitive growth of cdc50-1 mutant strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 14 degrees C. The CDC50 gene was found to be identical to YCR094w on chromosome III and contains 1173 nucleotides encoding 391 amino acids. We found a missense mutation at the first initiation codon of cdc50-1. The disruption of the CDC50 gene revealed that it is not essential for growth, but the disruptant caused the same cold-sensitive phenotype as cdc50-1, suggesting that the cdc50-1 is a null mutation resulted from the mutation in the first codon. The cdc50-1 mutant arrests at START in G1 phase at the non-permissive temperature. The CDC50 gene product has strong structural similarity to two other proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae encoded by YNR048w and YNL323w. The over-expression of either YNR048w or YNL323w suppressed the cdc50-1 mutant and the double disruption of either CDC50 and YNR048w or CDC50 and YNL323w resulted in a severe slow-growth phenotype. We conclude that these three genes constitute a family with redundant function. We also found that the CDC39 gene was a multicopy suppressor of cdc50-1 mutation, suggesting that the CDC50 family is involved in regulation of transcription via CDC39.
