Abstract

One of the chronic and serious complications of diabetes mellitus is diabetic foot. Staphylococcus aureus bacteria is the most common bacteria found in this type of wound. The purpose of this study is to determine the antibacterial activity of parem Karo, which is one of the traditional medicines of the ethnic culture of the Karo tribe which is rich in spices. The results showed inhibitory activity at higher concentrations with the largest average inhibition diameter at 75% concentration against Staphyloccocus aureus bacteria (8.23 ± 0.72 mm) followed by 50% concentration with an average inhibition diameter (7.52 ± 0.2 mm) and at 25% concentration showed no inhibition zone at all. The conclusion obtained from this study is that there is antibacterial activity of Karo hot parem extract at a concentration of 75% and 50% against the growth of Staphyloccocus aureus bacteria.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hyperuricemia are frequently encountered comorbidities in clinical practice with increasing prevalence. Long-term pharmacological therapy for these conditions carries the potential for drug interactions and other drug-related problems. Prescription completeness evaluation and drug interaction identification are necessary to ensure therapeutic safety and efficacy. Objectives: This study aimed to identify medications prescribed for patients with DM and hyperuricemia, evaluate potential drug interactions, and assess prescription completeness based on administrative standards according to Indonesian Ministry of Health Regulation No. 72 of 2016. Methods: This retrospective descriptive study with a cross-sectional design analyzed 50 outpatient prescriptions at Advent Hospital Medan from October 2023 to March 2024. The analysis covered administrative, pharmaceutical, and clinical aspects. Drug interactions were identified using Drugs.com with classification as major, moderate, and minor. Results: The most frequently prescribed antidiabetic drugs were metformin (82%), glimepiride (76%), and acarbose (64%), while for hyperuricemia they were allopurinol (88%) and meloxicam (72%). Ten drug interactions were identified, consisting of 8 moderate (80%), 1 major (10%), and 1 minor (10%). Administrative evaluation showed 92% completeness for mandatory components, but patient weight (48%), physician address (64%), and physician phone number (56%) were frequently omitted. Conclusion: The study revealed a significant prevalence of moderate drug interactions between antidiabetic drugs and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Optimization of prescription screening systems and completion of patient clinical data are required to enhance therapy safety.

Abstract

Background: The kidney is a vital organ susceptible to damage from exposure to nephrotoxic compounds such as ethylene glycol. Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) is known to contain bioactive compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential that may protect the kidney from injury. However, its effectiveness as a nephroprotective agent needs to be scientifically validated. Objective: To evaluate the nephroprotective effect of ethanol extract of red ginger against ethylene glycol–induced kidney damage in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus), Wistar strain. Methods: An experimental study using a post-test only control group design was conducted to minimize bias by ensuring equivalent baseline conditions among groups. A total of 25 rats were divided into five groups: normal control (distilled water), negative control (0.75% ethylene glycol), and three treatment groups (ethylene glycol + red ginger extract at doses of 100, 200, and 300 mg/kgBW/day). Parameters measured included serum creatinine levels and kidney histopathology. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05) followed by LSD post hoc test. Results: Red ginger extract significantly reduced serum creatinine levels (p < 0.05), with the greatest reduction observed at a dose of 300 mg/kgBW (0.528 ± 0.082 mg/dL). Histopathological improvement of the kidney was also evident, indicated by decreased necrosis, cellular degeneration, and inflammatory cell infiltration. The kidney damage score in the treatment groups (score 1) was lower than in the negative control group (score 2). Conclusion: Ethanol extract of red ginger exhibits a nephroprotective effect against ethylene glycol–induced kidney injury, with the optimal dose being 300 mg/kgBW/day. These findings support the potential of red ginger as an alternative therapy for kidney disorders, although further studies are needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and conduct clinical trials.

The purpose of this study is to determine the antibacterial activity of parem Karo, which is one of the traditional medicines of the ethnic culture of the Karo tribe which is rich in spices. Testing the antibacterial activity of Karo hot parem against staphylococcus aureus bacteria using disc diffusion method with 255, 50% and 75% concentration of Karo hot parem extract, positive control Ciprofloxacin Disks (5µg) and negative control DMSO 10%. This disc diffusion method was carried out to determine the diameter of the inhibition formed by Karo hot parem extract in inhibiting the growth of Staphyloccocus aureus bacteria. The results showed inhibitory activity at higher concentrations with the largest average inhibition diameter at 75% concentration against Staphyloccocus aureus bacteria (8.23 ± 0.72 mm) followed by 50% concentration with an average inhibition zone at all. The conclusion obtained from this study is that there is antibacterial activity of Karo hot parem extract at a concentration of 75% and 50% against the growth of Staphyloccocus aureus bacteria.

Abstract

The kidneys are a pair of organs within the urinary system, located in the upper retroperitoneal cavity, functioning in blood filtration, reabsorption, and secretion through diffusion processes involved in blood purification and urine formation. The kidneys are highly susceptible to damage from exposure to nephrotoxic drugs, one of which is isoniazid. Avocado seeds (Persea americana Mill.) are known to contain antioxidant compounds with potential protective effects against renal tissue damage. This study aimed to examine the effect of avocado seed extract on the histopathological changes in the kidneys of white rats induced with isoniazid. The research employed an experimental design using 25 male rats divided into five groups: positive control (K+), negative control (K–), and three treatment groups receiving avocado seed extract at doses of 100 mg/kg body weight (P1), 200 mg/kg body weight (P2), and 400 mg/kg body weight (P3). Isoniazid induction was administered to all groups except the positive control. After a 14-day treatment period, kidney samples were collected for histopathological analysis using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The observations indicated that avocado seed extract effectively improved renal histological structure in white rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced with isoniazid. In the treatment group III, renal histological improvement was observed, with only 5–25% structural damage or a score of 1, compared to groups I and II, which showed 25–50% damage or a score of 2.
