Abstract

Introduction: Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide derived from brown algae with proven anticancer, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties. However, its clinical utilization remains limited due to high molecular weight and low bioavailability. Recent advances in nanodelivery systems provide promising strategies to overcome these limitations and align with community-based health promotion initiatives. Methods: This scoping review adopted the PEOS framework (Population, Exposure, Outcome, Study Design) and PRISMA flow to map current evidence on fucoidan’s molecular mechanisms, nanocarrier innovations, and community empowerment perspectives. Literature searches were conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, and Google Scholar from 2015–2023 using keywords “fucoidan,” “nanoparticle,” “nanocarrier,” “molecular mechanism,” and “health promotion.” Twenty-three eligible articles were critically appraised using Hawker’s Quality Assessment Tool. Results: Fucoidan exhibits anticancer effects through upregulation of Bax, downregulation of Bcl-2, activation of caspases, and inhibition of angiogenesis via NF-?B, MAPK, and Nrf2 signaling pathways. Nanodelivery systems including chitosan fucoidan nanoparticles, PEGylated PLGA, hydrogels, and microneedle patches enhanced stability, absorption, and targeted efficacy. Preclinical studies demonstrated tumor inhibition, wound healing, and immunomodulatory benefits. From a public health perspective, fucoidan-based nanotechnology supports health promotion through increased scientific literacy, integration into Health Promoting Hospitals, and economic empowerment of coastal communities producing brown algae. Conclusion:Fucoidan represents a multifunctional bioactive compound whose efficacy is strengthened by nanodelivery innovation. Integrating molecular insights with health promotion and community empowerment creates a sustainable model linking biotechnology, preventive health, and local economic development. This review emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in translating marine biopolymers into accessible, evidence-based complementary therapies.

Abstract

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) patients occurs due to decreased blood flow to the kidneys. Decreased blood flow caused by blockage in coronary arteries of AMI patients both in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) which causes reduced blood flow so the oxygen supply carried by the blood to the myocardium is reduced. Decreased oxygen supply to myocardium reduces the heart's ability to pump blood throughout the body including to kidneys. Decreased blood flow to kidneys results decreased kidney function. Laboratory examination parameters commonly used to assess kidney function are urea and creatinine. This study aims to determine the differences urea and creatinine levels in STEMI and NSTEMI patients. This research method uses analytical observation with cross-sectional approach. Data urea and creatinine levels taken from medical records using a purposive sampling technique. Samples in this study was 170 people. Data analysis using the manwhitney test and the results of comparison of urea levels in STEMI and NSTEMI patients with a p value = 0.416 and for creatinine levels with a p value = 0.756. This means that there is no significant difference between urea and creatinine levels in STEMI and NSTEMI patients.

Abstract

Dental caries is caused by Streptococcus mutans, with resistance to fluoride becoming a significant challenge, thus requiring new antibacterial alternatives. The purpose of this literature review is to examine the potential of metabolite compounds from the Rutaceae plant family against S. mutans through a systematic review. The method used includes a literature review from databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Research Gate (2014–2024) following the PRISMA protocol. The analysis covers plants from the Rutaceae family, bacterial inhibition zone tests, and secondary metabolite content. A total of 15 journals (6 national, 9 international) demonstrated that the Rutaceae family plants possess strong antibacterial activity. Active compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids were found in the bark, leaves, and fruits of the plants. Extracts from the bark of Citrus aurantifolia showed the largest inhibition zone against S. mutans (28.7 mm). Flavonoids and tannins played a significant role in antibacterial activity. The conclusion derived is that the Rutaceae family has great potential as a natural antibacterial agent for the prevention of dental caries. These findings provide a foundation for developing safe and effective oral care products based on natural ingredients. Further research, particularly in the formulation of safe and effective natural-based oral care products
