KEYWORDST2DM; E23K polymorphism of KCNJ11; HOMA-b; Individuals with family history of T2DM; Individuals without family history of T2DM Abstract Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial disease involving both genetic and also environmental factors. Potassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 11 (KCNJ11) gene, an ATP-sensitive potassium channel-coding gene, contributes to insulin secretion.Objectives: This research aimed to investigate E23K polymorphism in KCNJ11 gene and insulin secretion in individuals with family history of T2DM (cases) and without family history of T2DM (controls).Method: This research was a case-control study involving 34 cases and 34 controls. E23K polymorphism of KCNJ11 was detected with PCR-RFLP. All of the obtained data were statistically analyzed with T-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, Chi-Square and One-Way ANOVA.Result: Frequency of AA genotype in individuals with family history of T2DM (41%) was higher than in individuals without family history of T2DM (6%) (p = 0.001). Frequency of A allele in individuals with family history of T2DM (68%) was higher than in individuals without family history of T2DM (38%) (p = 0.001). The risk of A allele in individuals with family history of T2DM was 3 times higher than in individuals without family history of T2DM (p = 0.001, OR 3.38, CI 95% 1.67-6.84). Homeostasis Model Assessment b (HOMA-b) values of AA genotype (85.44% ± 39.55) were lower than that of GA (212.20% ± 79.30) and GG (254.00% ± 61.98) genotypes (p = 0.000).Conclusion: The risk of having A allele in individuals with family history of T2DM is higher than that in individuals without family history of T2DM. HOMA-b values of AA genotype are lower than that of GA and GG genotypes.
Tinea pedis is a disease that attacks the area between the fingers, soles of the feet, heels, nails and is a source of infection in other areas. Trichophyton rubrum is the cause of 70 % of cases of tinea pedis. Fungal infections are usually treated using antifungal drugs which mostly have limitations, such as poor penetration into certain tissues, narrow spectrum of fungi, high side effects, and resistance of fungi to certain antifungals. Utilization of natural materials is done as an alternative treatment for fungal infections. One of the natural ingredients that has the potential to be used as antifungal is onion (Allium cepa L.). The aim of the study was to determine the ability of onion extract to inhibit the growth of the fungus Trichophyton rubrum. The type of research is Experimental Laboratory. This study used onion extract concentrations of 70 %, 60 %, 50 %, 40 %, control (+) and control (-). Data analysis using Kruskal Wallis Test and Post Hoc Mann Whitney Test. The average diameter of the inhibition zone at the extract concentration of 70 %, 60 %, 50 %, and 40 %, respectively, was 2,01 mm, 1,75 mm, 0,87 mm, and 0.58 mm. The results of the in vitro test using the disc diffusion method showed that onion extract had the ability to inhibit the growth of Trichophyton rubrum with a weak category.
ABSTRACT Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial disease involving genetic and environmental factors. The E23K KCNJ11 gene polymorphism causes KATP canal overactivity, decreases cell membrane depolarization potential, and decreases insulin secretion. E23K polymorphism of the KCNJ11 gene as a risk factor for T2DM. Research Objective: This study aimed to analyze the E23K polymorphism of the KCNJ11 gene as a risk factor for T2DM in the Bengkulu Serawai. Method: This study is a case-control study. The subjects of the study were 100 people with T2DM patients as a case group (50 people) and Non-DM subjects with families who did not have a history of T2DM as a control group (50 people). Fasting blood glucose (GDP) was analyzed by spectrophotometry and E23K KCNJ11 gene by polymerase chain reaction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Data were analyzed by statistics. Results: The frequency of AA genotypes in cases was higher than the controls (12% and 8%) (p = 0.001). The frequency of A allele in the case was higher than the control (32% and 18%) (p = 0.017). The risk of T2DM on AA / GA genotypes was 4.75 times higher in cases than controls (p = 0,000, OR 4.75 95% CI 2.01-11.24). The risk of T2DM in A allele was 2.14 times higher in cases than in controls (p = 0.017, OR 2.14, 95% CI 1.11-4.15). Conclusion: E23K polymorphism of the KCNJ11 gene as a risk factor for T2DM in Bengkulu Serawai Tribe. Keywords: E23K gene KCNJ11, DMT2, Non-DMT2.
