Abstract

Introduction: Inflammation is a fundamental biological response involved in the development and progression of various diseases and is commonly assessed using indicators detected in blood. A wide range of inflammatory biomarkers has been described. However, differences in their biological characteristics and clinical relevance require clear understanding for appropriate use. Objective: This review aims to summarize the blood-based inflammatory biomarkers and to present a clear description of their characteristics, strengths, and limitations, as well as key concepts related to their clinical application and interpretation as indicators of inflammatory activity. Method: This study was conducted as a literature review using secondary data from scientific publications. Articles published within the last five years were identified from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar and selected based on their relevance to blood-based inflammatory biomarkers and the clarity of reported information. The selected literature, consisting of original research articles and review papers, was analyzed descriptively to synthesize and compare findings across studies. Result: The results indicate that blood-based inflammatory biomarkers can be grouped into several main categories, each reflecting different mechanisms and stages of inflammation. Differences in biological function and applicability were observed among biomarker groups, highlighting variations in their usefulness depending on inflammatory context. Conclusion: Blood-based inflammatory biomarkers provide important information for evaluating inflammatory status. Accurate assessment depends on interpretation that accounts for biological function, inflammatory context, and inherent limitations of each biomarker.

Abstract

The objective of PKM (Community Service) is to increase public knowledge about selecting plants for treating certain diseases at home and how to use them, as well as to create health independence in the community. In addition, this activity aims to raise public awareness of the importance of utilizing local plants as traditional medicines inherited from ancestors, especially in Padaleu Village. The materials used in this activity included knowledge about the management of plants for traditional medicine and public health, as well as anthropology and health materials from competent sources. The methods used were lectures and discussions to improve the competence and understanding of the community, especially housewives and local government officials. This activity was carried out directly through counseling and question and answer sessions so that participants could understand and apply this knowledge in their environment. The results of the study show that the outreach activity succeeded in increasing the knowledge and awareness of the community, especially housewives and Dasawisma administrators, about the use of local plants as traditional medicine inherited from their ancestors. Participants showed great enthusiasm and actively asked questions about traditional medicine and its use. In addition, this activity was able to create a more independent community in managing health and utilizing natural resources in a sustainable manner. The conclusion of this report is that educational activities on the use of local plants as traditional medicine have successfully increased the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of the community, especially housewives and Dasawisma administrators, in managing and utilizing plants for family health. In addition, these activities are expected to encourage community health independence and preserve local wisdom related to traditional medicine inherited from ancestors.
