Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease characterized by an increase in blood glucose levels caused by insulin deficiency, either absolute or relative. The α-glucosidase enzyme functions to accelerate the absorption of glucose by the small intestine by catalyzing the hydrolytic cleavage of oligosaccharides into monosaccharides. This study aims to explore the potential of AP extract in regulating blood sugar levels through inhibition of α-glucosidase activity in the intestine. This study is an in vivo experimental study. A total of 30 \ rats were divided into a control group and treated with Andrographis paniculata. Examination of blood sugar levels was carried out by spectrophotometry and examination of alpha-glucosidase enzymes by ELISA. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software with univariate and bivariate analysis. Andrographis paniculata extract was able to reduce blood sugar levels and was able to decrease the activity of the alpha-glucosidase enzyme as the dose increased. Andrographis paniculata extract is able to reduce blood sugar levels by inhibiting the activity of the alpha-glucosidase enzyme in the intestine.

Abstract

A distinguishing feature of rodents, including rats, is the absence of canines and the presence of prominent incisors. Rats are monophydontic, meaning they grow one set of teeth in their lifetime. The enamel of the rodent incisor contains iron, which gives it its yellow-orange color. Rats are mammals and as such, possess many similarities with other mammals. Only the peculiarities of the rat’s anatomy are addressed. Male rats reach puberty at 40 - 60 days of age. Descent of the testes usually occurs between days 30 - 60. Sperm counts vary by strain. The male rat has an os penis. Male rats have the following accessory sexual organs: ampulla, seminal vesicles, prostate, bulbourethral glands, coagulating glands, and preputial glands. The coagulating gland and prostatic and vesicular secretions are responsible for the copulation plug, a firm plug deposited in the vagina of the female after copulation. (This plug, when found outside the female rat, is capsuleshaped and approximately 5 mm long.) The male rat has no nipples. The adult male rat has a prominent scrotum and a longer anogenital distance than the female rat.

Abstract

Background: Exosomes are a small subset of extracellular vesicles with a size of about 50 nm – 200 nm, which are found in many body fluids. The exosome is rich in various proteins and is a cargo that carries out the process of transporting and transporting between cells in the context of cell communication. This becomes a potential new therapeutic modality in triggering the modulation and activity of target cells so that ACSs-Exosome becomes a new potential to modulate skin flap transplantation repair in plastic surgery. Methods: The literature search process was carried out in various databases (PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar) regarding the use of ASCs-exosome in skin flap transplantation repair in plastic surgery cases. Results: A total of 5 studies were included in this systematic review. In general, ASCs-exosome administration was more effective in the percentage of flap survival area than in the placebo group. There are 3 studies that state that the effectiveness of flap area survival is more than 70 percent compared to the placebo group, which is only in the range of 30-40 percent. Conclusion: ASCs-exosome has the potential to be developed to improve the survival rate of skin flap transplantation in the case of plastic surgery.

Abstract

Increasing the body's immunity is one of the efforts to prevent infection with COVID-19. This literature review aims to describe the potential of ginger (Zingiber officinale roscoe) and guava (Psidium guajava L.) as supplements for the management of COVID-19. Grated ginger (Zingiber officinale roscoe) is used as a topical medication to treat swelling, rheumatism, and headaches. In vivo tests in rats that were immunosuppressed using cyclophosphamide showed that ginger essential oil given once a day orally for a week could increase the humoral immune response. Meanwhile, guava has high levels of polyphenols such as myricetin and apigenin compounds, ellagic acid, and anthocyanins. The high vitamin C content in guava contributes to immune defense by supporting various cellular functions of both the innate and adaptive immune systems.
