Abstract

  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), self-medication is choosing and using modern medicine, herbal medicine, or traditional medicine to reduce or overcome a disease or disease symptoms. The implementation of self-medication must be distinct from the use of traditional medicine and conventional medicine, where preferences for drug selection are greatly influenced by knowledge and attitude factors. This research aimed to determine the level of knowledge and attitudes toward choosing traditional and conventional medicines and self-medication in the Dharma Medika Badung Pharmacy patients. The research design used was observational descriptive, and the sampling technique was carried out using the accidental sampling method. A total of 68 respondents met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The instrument in this research was a closed questionnaire with 14 questions, where the questionnaire's validity and reliability were first tested. The results showed that the level of knowledge of the respondents with "Good" criteria is 63%, "Fair" criteria is 28%, "Not Good" is 6%, and "Not Good" is 3%. Most patients at the Dharma Medika Badung Pharmacy have a good level of knowledge regarding the choice of traditional and conventional medicines, with respondents' attitudes tending to be positive towards conventional medicines compared to traditional medicines in terms of self-medication

Abstract

  The use of ethnopharmaceutical practices remains widespread in Bali, as this knowledge has been passed down through generations. Although the Balinese people still strongly uphold their traditional healing systems and have long utilized plants as medicinal ingredients, there is still limited research documenting the diversity of plant species recorded in the Usadha manuscripts along with their therapeutic uses. This study aimed to inventory medicinal plants that are still used by the community in Banjar Saraseda, Tampaksiring, Gianyar, Bali. The study employed a descriptive design, with data collected through interviews to obtain information from respondents regarding local plant names, therapeutic uses/indications, parts of the plant utilized, and methods of preparation and application. The data were analyzed descriptively and presented in tables. Based on the ethnopharmacological survey conducted in Banjar Saraseda, Tampaksiring, Gianyar, Bali, a total of 20 medicinal plant species were recorded. The most frequently used plant parts were leaves (75%), followed by rhizomes (15%) and fruits (10%). The primary methods of preparation included boiling (65%), pounding (15%), grating, crushing, brewing, and direct use (each 5%). Based on therapeutic indications, the plants were mainly used to treat fever (20%), muscle pain and gout (20%), hypertension (20%), skin itching (10%), diabetes (10%), and to manage wounds, diarrhoea, haemorrhoids, and gastritis (each 5%). This study demonstrates that the Banjar Saraseda community in Tampaksiring, Gianyar, Bali continues to preserve traditional knowledge in the use of medicinal plants that has been inherited through generations.

Abstract

VCO is obtained from fresh, old coconut (Cocos nucifera L) flesh through a simple process without heating. Making VCO can be done by several methods, namely enzymatic methods and natural fermentation. The enzyme used in the manufacture of VCO is bromelain enzyme powder. The purpose of this study was to determine differences in the physicochemical quality of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) obtained by natural fermentation methods and VCO obtained by enzymatic methods adding 10% bromelain enzyme. The type of research used is experimental research conducted in the laboratory. The results obtained were then evaluated to determine the physicochemical quality of enzymatic VCO and natural fermentation. Physicochemical test parameters include a water content test performed by the gravimetric method and a free fatty acid test carried out by the titrimetric method. Based on the research that has been done, the highest average yield of VCO with the addition of bromelain enzyme powder is (24.45 ± 0.06) %. The results of the pH test on sample 1 (S1) and sample 2 (S2) obtained a pH value of 6. Testing the water content of the two samples S1 and S2 obtained results (4.018 ± 1.93) and (7.949 ± 2.57) %, with statistical testing getting p> 0.05 where there is no significant difference between the two samples. Tests for free fatty acid levels in samples S1 and S2 yielded (0.0086 ± 0.003055) % and (0.0106 ± 0.004619) %, with statistical testing yielding p > 0.05 after being tested by Kruskal Wallis, no there is a significant difference between the two samples. The enzymatic production of VCO has the advantage of obtaining more yield with the same quality as naturally fermented VCO.

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is an escalating global health issue, particularly in Indonesia. CKD is characterized by a progressive and irreversible decline in renal function, with diabetes mellitus and hypertension as primary risk factors. Genetic polymorphisms, variations in DNA sequences that affect gene function and protein expression, play a critical role in CKD risk and progression. This narrative review examines the role of genetic polymorphisms in CKD risk based on available literature. Scientific articles were sourced from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Scopus using keywords related to genetic polymorphisms and CKD. From the 441 articles identified, selection was based on relevance, sample size, and article completeness. Several genetic polymorphisms were found to have significant associations with increased CKD risk, including Renalase (rs2296545), GSTO1 (rs2164624), GSTO2, MMP3 (rs35068180), and MGP (rs4236), among others such as CYP24A1, GPX1, UMOD, CYP2C8, CYP4A11, EPHX2, SPP1, and BGLAP. These polymorphisms influence mechanisms such as blood pressure regulation, oxidative stress, inflammation, and tissue calcification, all contributing to CKD progression. In conclusion, genetic polymorphisms are crucial in CKD risk, offering insights for more personalized approaches in diagnosing, preventing, and treating this condition. These findings support the development of more effective, genetics-based treatment strategies in the future.

Abstract

Cascara refers to the dried husk of coffee cherries. It has garnered significant attention in recent research due to its phytochemical composition and potential health benefits. Several studies have highlighted the presence of bioactive compounds and the antioxidant activity exhibited by cascara. This study aims to investigate the phytochemical content and antioxidant potential of cascara. The cascara was extracted using the maceration method with 96% ethanol, followed by phytochemical screening for alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, steroids, and quinones using standard color reactions in test tubes. Antioxidant activity was assessed via the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay, with ascorbic acid as a reference compound. The phytochemical profile of the extract was identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The findings indicated that cascara contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and triterpenoids. GC-MS analysis identified caffeine, hexadecanoic acid (methyl ester), and hexadecanoic acid (ethyl ester) as the predominant compounds in cascara. The antioxidant activity test using the DPPH method demonstrated that the ethanol extract of cascara possesses moderate antioxidant potential, with an average IC50 value of 108.49 ± 1.28 ppm. Ascorbic acid, the reference compound used in this study, yielded an IC50 of 2.53 ppm, categorized as very strong. This research underscores cascara’s potential as a valuable source of antioxidants with significant health benefits, influenced by geographic factors affecting its bioactive compound profile. Consequently, cascara holds promise for further development as a raw material for functional health-promoting products.
