Background: Tuberculosis and its resistance are a major global health problem in the world. The increased incidence and mortality of tuberculosis in Indonesia remain a big public health issue especially in Jakarta Province. No published studies have focused on assessing the outcome treatment of tuberculosis resistance both in success and death. We aimed this study to assess the survival of cured and death outcomes as well as the determinant factors which might influence drugs resistant tuberculosis in Jakarta between 2010 and 2015.
Methods: this study analyzed the national electronic tuberculosis register (e-TB Manager) of Jakarta province in 2010 to 2015. All adult patients who lived in Jakarta province and were diagnosed with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) were eligible for the study. Kaplan Meier survival curve was used, together with log-rank test and Chi-Square (X2) test for descriptive analysis. Cox regression analysis helped determine the potential risk factors. Several risk factors were analyzed in this study, including age, gender, residency, HIV status, resistance status, and history of previous treatment.
Results: we analyzed 553 samples in this study. The drug-resistant tuberculosis cases increased gradually from 2010 to 2015. Of all cases, 248 and 67 patients were cured and death, respectively. There was a difference in survival rate between patients diagnosed with MDR-TB and XDR-TB with successful treatment. Poor treatment outcome (death) among patients was predicted by age greater than 60 years old (HR 3.48; 95% CI 1.48 - 8.38, p-value = 0.004).
Conclusion: there was a difference survival rates between success treatment (cured) and poor treatment outcome (death) during six years of observation. Age of patients is a single-predictor in survival of death. While, HIV status and resistance status were predictors in survival of cured.

The DNA cross-link repair 1B (DCLRE1B) gene is involved in repairing cross-links between DNA strands, including those associated with Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome and congenital dyskeratosis. However, its role in tumours is not well understood. DCLRE1B expression profiles were examined in tumour tissues and normal tissues using TCGA, GTEx, and TARGET datasets.

P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) plays a role in regulating tumor progression, but it is unclear whether P2X7R affects the pathological characteristics of patients with gastric cancer and the activity of gastric cancer cells. Therefore, this study preliminarily investigated the relationship between P2X7R and clinicopathological features of patients with gastric cancer, and further explored the effect of P2X7R on the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells through functional experiments. The results showed that P2X7R was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and gastric cancer cells.

There is a pressing need to improve risk stratification and treatment selection for HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) due to the adverse side effects of treatment. One of the most important prognostic features is lymph nodes involvement. Previously, we demonstrated that tumor formation in patient-derived xenografts (i.

Antibody-mediated protection against pathogens is crucial to a healthy life. However, the recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has shown that pre-existing comorbid conditions including kidney disease account for compromised humoral immunity to infections. Individuals with kidney disease are not only susceptible to infections but also exhibit poor vaccine-induced antibody response.

Pathogens can be involved in tumor initiation, promotion, and progression through different mechanisms, and their treatment can prevent new cancer cases, improve outcomes, and revert poor-prognostic phenotypes. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) successfully treats different types of cancers and infections and, therefore, has a unique potential to address their combination. However, we believe this potential has been underutilized, and few researchers have investigated the impacts of PDT of both infection-related and cancer-related outcomes at once.
