Abstract

Rambutan fruit (Nephelium lappaceum L.) contains vitamins A, B, and C, which act as antioxidants and are beneficial for skin health. The utilization of rambutan fruit juice in a hand body gel formulation aims to produce a natural moisturizing product that is safe for use. This study was conducted experimentally by formulating rambutan fruit juice into hand body gel at concentrations of 3%, 5%, and 7%, along with a blank formulation. Each formulation was evaluated for its physical properties, including organoleptic characteristics, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, and viscosity. In addition, skin irritation testing and skin moisture testing using a skin analyzer were performed over three weeks of use. The results showed that all formulations had good physical quality, pH values suitable for the skin, and did not cause irritation. Skin moisture testing indicated an increase in skin moisture in all formulations, with the 7% concentration showing the highest improvement. In conclusion, rambutan fruit juice can be formulated into a hand body gel that is safe and effective as a skin moisturizer, with the 7% concentration being the best formulation.

Abstract

Hypertension s a chronic condition with a high prevalence that can lead to cardiovascular complications if patients do not adhere to medication regimens and the medication adherence is on of the primary key to therapeutic success. However, low adherence rates remain a significant challenge, often linked to insufficient patient understanding. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge of hypertensive patients and their medication adherence at Royal Prima Hospital. This research method employed a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach involving 78 outpatient respondents selected through purposive sampling. Demographic data were analyzed using the Chi-Square Test, while the relationship between the main variables was tested with Spearman Correlation. The results showed that the majority of respondents had a sufficient level of knowledge (52.6%) and moderate adherence (48.7%). The Spearman Correlation test yielded a coefficient value (rₛ) of 0.803 with p < 0.001, indicating a very strong and significant positive relationship between the level of knowledge and medication adherence. Conversely, the Chi-Square Test results showed no significant association between demographic characteristics and adherence. It is concluded that knowledge is a crucial determinant influencing treatment adherence among hypertensive patients.

Abstract

Infectious diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus remain a significant health concern globally, with increasing antibiotic resistance necessitating alternative antimicrobial agents. Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) contains bioactive compounds with potential antibacterial properties. This study investigated the antibacterial activity of beetroot ethanol extract against Staphylococcus aureus and compared the effects of ethanol and aqueous solvents in the extraction process. Beetroot simplicia was prepared and characterized according to standard protocols. Extraction was performed using 70% ethanol maceration method, yielding 20.29% extract. Phytochemical screening and thin-layer chromatography identified secondary metabolites. Antibacterial activity was evaluated using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method at concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 15%, both with and without glycerin addition. Simplicia characterization met quality standards with moisture content of 0.25%. TLC analysis revealed alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, saponins, and tannins. Beetroot ethanol extract demonstrated concentration-dependent antibacterial activity with inhibition zones of 8.1±0.87 mm (5%), 10.2±0.71 mm (10%), and 13.9±0.79 mm (15%). Glycerin-supplemented extracts showed comparable activity. Beetroot ethanol extract exhibits significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, supporting its potential as a natural antimicrobial agent for pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease with continuously increasing global prevalence, driving the search for safer and more effective alternative therapies based on natural ingredients. Raru bark (Cotylelobium melanoxylon) has been traditionally used as an antidiabetic agent, yet scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of its specific fractions remains limited. Methods: This laboratory experimental study evaluated the antidiabetic activity of ethyl acetate and n-hexane fractions of raru bark ethanol extract in alloxan-induced male Wistar rats (n=3 per group). Extraction was performed using maceration method with 96% ethanol, followed by sequential liquid-liquid fractionation. Simplicia characterization included determination of water content, total ash content, acid-insoluble ash content, as well as water-soluble and ethanol-soluble extractive values. Phytochemical screening was conducted qualitatively, while blood glucose levels were measured periodically over 14 days and analyzed using one-way ANOVA (p<0.05). Results: Simplicia characterization met the requirements of the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia with water content of 9.99%, total ash content of 1.78%, and acid-insoluble ash content of 0.19%. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. The ethyl acetate fraction demonstrated more significant blood glucose reduction (318→95 mg/dL) compared to the n-hexane fraction (312→160 mg/dL) over the 14-day observation period, with a final mean value approaching that of the positive control (80.00±11.66 mg/dL). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences among treatment groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: The ethyl acetate fraction of raru bark extract exhibited superior in vivo antidiabetic activity compared to the n-hexane fraction in alloxan-induced diabetic rat models, correlating with the content of semi-polar compounds such as flavonoids and phenolics. The ethyl acetate fraction shows potential for development as a natural-based antidiabetic agent.
