Abstract

One of the effective ways to stay healthy is maintaining cleanliness, including hand hygiene. Various diseases can be easily transmitted through the hands. However, modern developments have changed the habit of handwashing with water to using hand antiseptics. Hand sanitizer is an alternative to overcome this problem. Unfortunately, some hand sanitizer gels on the market still contain alcohol as an antibacterial ingredient. It is necessary to innovate in making hand sanitizers using non-alcoholic ingredients as antibacterials, for example, natural ingredients like garlic. Garlic contains allicin that functions as an antibacterial. Meanwhile, VCO contains high lauric acid with antibiotic properties that function as antiviral, antibacterial, and antiprotozoal. It also contains capric acid, with antiviral and antibacterial functions. This study aims to examine the effect of concentration variation of VCO on the physical stability of garlic extract emulgel preparation and antibacterial effectiveness against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. The concentration variation of VCO in this study was 3%, 5%, and 7% for 3 types of formulas. The results showed that the concentration variation of VCO in emulgel preparations gave differences in the physical properties of the gel, including pH, viscosity, adhesive strength, and spreadability. It can be concluded that the higher the VCO concentration, the higher the pH, viscosity, and adhesive power, and the lower the spreadability and antibacterial inhibition power against Staphylococcus aureus. The best result from the evaluation of physicochemical properties and antibacterial tests was Formula 1, although it was still in the weak inhibitory power category.

Abstract

Worldwide, heart disease accounts for the majority of deaths. One of the indications of coronary illness is Acute Coronary Syndrom (ACS) STEMI. With a prevalence rate of 7.2%, Indonesia still has the highest ACS incidence, and it continues to rise annually. Several factors are involved in reducing the mortality rate of ACS, namely by controlling several risk factors that can reduce the incidence and improve treatment. This study aims to determine the level of adherence to drug use in patients who are registered with new STEMI and outpatients at Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta. The research method used in this study was non-experimental analytic observational with a retrospective cohort design. Measurement using the Medication Possession Ratio (MPR) method. The study population was patients who were registered for the first ACS diagnosis since January 2017 and followed the course of their treatment until the patient stopped using the drug or the end of observation (31 December 2018). The number of samples obtained according to the inclusion criteria was 495 patients. Adherence to the use of antithrombotic drugs was greater in female patients (82.4%), age < 60 years (88.4%), and patients using combination antithrombotic therapy regimens (81.4%). Statistical significance was shown in the category of gender (Log Rank = 0.046) and treatment regimen (Log Rank = 0.005). However, the age category did not show statistical significance (Log Rank = 0.289). The conclusion of this study is that adherence to the use of antithrombotic drugs in STEMI patients is influenced by gender and therapeutic regimen.

Abstract

Strawberry is a natural source of antioxidants with potential to inhibit melanin production in the skin. However, its application in topical formulations is limited by factors such as stability, skin permeability, and effective delivery, necessitating the development of an appropriate delivery system. This has led to the selection of double emulsion due to the water solubility of the active ingredient. To produce a stable emulsion, it is required to combine emulsifier with different hydrophilic-lipophilic balance values. This study aimed to obtain the optimal proportion of emulsifier combinations for formulating an emulgel containing dried strawberry. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH assay, while the content of active compounds was quantified using the UV-Vis spectrophotometric method. The optimization of emulsifier proportions was carried out using the simplex lattice design (SLD), with globule size, viscosity, and separation ratio as response parameters. The optimized emulsion system was then incorporated into a hydrogel. Physicochemical stability of the emulgel was assessed based on organoleptic properties, pH, viscosity, spreadability, and phase separation. Permeation studies were conducted using Franz diffusion cells with shed snakeskin membrane as the diffusion barrier. The study successfully demonstrated that dried strawberry juice possesses antioxidant activity, with an IC₅₀ value of 0.331 mg/mL. The levels of key active compounds, namely quercetin (23.3% w/w) and anthocyanins (13.23% w/w), supporting its potential use in topical antioxidant applications. The most effective emulsifier system was determined to be a Span 80:Croduret 50:Propylene Glycol ratio of 1:2:1. This emulsifier composition yielded an emulsion with favorable droplet size, viscosity, and stability characteristics. Incorporation into a 1.5% Polygel CA hydrogel resulted in an emulgel formulation with excellent physicochemical stability, as indicated by consistent pH, spreadability, viscosity, and absence of phase separation during storage. Permeation studies using Franz diffusion cells showed that the optimized emulgel was capable of delivering 117.14 μg/cm² of flavonoids across shed snakeskin membrane within 5 hours, with a permeability coefficient of 2.84×10⁻⁵ μg/cm² and a flux rate of 6.6×10⁻⁵ μg/sec, indicating good skin permeation potential.

Abstract

Inulin from Gembili has been identified as an effective bioreductor for forming nanosilver with a size of 481.4 nm, stable for 30 days when stored at 4°C. Inulin nanosilver exhibits immunomodulatory properties and has been proven safe through acute toxicity evaluation at a dose of 4 mg/kgBB. A drug delivery system needs to be developed for its use as a supplement. Syrup was chosen due to its alcohol-free nature, better taste, and ease of measuring the active substance compared to elixirs, solutions, and suspensions. Simplex syrupus, used as a syrup base, influences stability by potentially forming crystals during storage. This research aims to determine how varying concentrations of simplex syrupus affect the physicochemical properties of inulin nanosilver syrup. The study involved the biosynthesis process using Gembili's inulin, nanosilver characterization, formulation, and stability testing. Inulin nanosilver syrup was prepared with simplex syrupus concentrations of 20%, 40%, and 60%. The physicochemical stability of the syrup, including organoleptic properties, pH, and viscosity, was tested before and after storage at 4°C and 40°C over six cycles. The selected formula was evaluated for sugar reduction content and FT-IR profile. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 21.0 for Windows with One-way ANOVA and Paired T-Test. Results indicated that higher concentrations of simplex syrupus led to increased consistency, pH, and viscosity. A 60% concentration of simplex syrupus met the physicochemical stability requirements, with a medium-thick consistency, pH of 5.25±0.03, and viscosity of 92±2.6 cps. The reducing sugar content was 20.59% ±0.002, and the FT-IR profile confirmed the presence of inulin nanosilver, indicated by Ag-N groups compared to silver nitrate solution. This product has the potential to be developed as a health supplement.
