Objective: This study aims to compare the average levels of IL-10 with preeclampsia and normotensive in four different tribe populations in South Sulawesi, including Makassar, Bugis, Mandar, and Toraja. Method: This research is a cross-sectional study conducted in March–May 2020 in several Health Centre and Hospitals in four areas, namely in the UNHAS Hospital, Jumpandang Baru Health Center, Barabaraya Health Center, Mattirobulu Health Center, Salo Health Center, Lasinrang Pinrang General Hospital, Totoli Health Center, Majene Regional General Hospital, Makale Health Center, Elim General Hospital, Lakipadada Tana Toraja Regional General Hospital. Samples in this study were 88 pregnant women with gestational age >20 weeks which were divided into two groups, namely 44 cases (preeclampsia) and 44 control groups (normotensive). The criteria for the sample in this study are single pregnancy, no systemic disease, and are native Makassar, Bugis, Mandar, and Toraja tribes. Data collected included age, education, occupation, parity, Body Mass Index (BMI), history of preeclampsia. Serum IL-10 levels were examined using the Human Interleukin 10 ELISA Kit. Results: There were significant differences in IL-10 levels in preeclampsia pregnant women in the Makassar, Bugis, Mandar, and Toraja tribes (p = 0.020, p 0.05). The Bugis, Mandar, and Toraja tribes show significant differences in IL-10 levels between preeclampsia pregnant women and normotensive pregnant women with mean rating values of pregnant women who have preeclampsia have lower IL-10 levels than normotensive pregnant women, while the Makassar tribe has valued insignificant difference in IL-10 levels between preeclampsia and normotensive (p = 0.309, p > 0.05). Conclusion: There are differences in IL-10 levels in preeclampsia pregnant women in Makassar, Bugis, Mandar, and Toraja tribes. The mean concentration of IL-10 in pregnant women with preeclampsia was significantly lower than in controls.

Las pruebas de esfuerzo son útiles al evaluar las enfermedades cardiovasculares. Caracterizar precozmente un desequilibrio del organismo es fundamental, por lo que nos propusimos identificar durante el ejercicio la respuesta presora, alteraciones del ritmo e isquemia del miocardio en sujetos normotensos y prehipertensos. Se realizó prueba ergométrica diagnóstica en bicicleta a 222 sujetos con presión arterial menor 140/90 mmHg, electrocardiograma normal y sin tratamiento farmacológico. Predominaron las mujeres (58.6%) y sujetos de la piel blanca (41.8%). La presión arterial al máximo esfuerzo fue anormal en el 45.7% y de ellos el 88 % era prehipertenso. Esta variable mostró una elevada diferencia significativa (p=0.0000064) entre normotensos y prehipertensos. Se detectó isquemia del miocardio y arritmia en 21 sujetos. Se concluye que la prueba de esfuerzo en estos sujetos evidencia de forma precoz alteraciones en el control de la presión arterial y que la isquemia del miocardio y las arrtimias no son frecuentes en este subgrupo.The exertion tests are useful to evaluate cardiovascular diseases. The early characterization of an unbalance of the organism is essential. That's why, we proposed to identify during the physical exercise the pressure response, rhythm alterations and myocardial ischemia in normotensive and prehypertensive individuals. A diagnostic bicycle ergometric test was performed among 222 subjects with arterial pressure under 140/90 mmHg, normal ECG and with no drug treatment. Females (58.6 %) and white individuals (41.8%) prevailed. Arterial pressure on maximum effort was abnormal in 45.7 % and 88 % of them were prehypertensives. This variable showed an elevated significant difference (p=0.0000064) between normotensive and prehypertensives. Myocardial ischemia and arrhythmia were found in 21 individuals. It was concluded that the exercise test in these subjects evidenced early alterations in the control of arterial pressure and that myocardial ischemias and arrhythmias are not common in this subgroup.
