Abstract

Chocolate has long been understood to provide positive emotions and a good mood if consumed in moderation. Chocolate contains prebiotics naturally from its constituent ingredients produced during the production process. Prebiotics, frequently oligosaccharides, are substances which cannot be metabolized by the human digestive system but can be employed by a group of bacteria in the gut, understood as probiotics. The positive relationship among them provides benefits for the host in eliminating pathogens. One of the well-known pathogens which frequently cause infection either in the community or in hospitals is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Since it was first identified in 1960, MRSA has caused health problems until today. Research conducted on two groups of Rattus norvegicus infected with MRSA and then fed chocolate revealed a decrease in the average number of bacterial colonies on the skin compared to the control group. In the group fed chocolate at a dose of 50 mg/day, the bacterial colonies decreased to 1.28 x 108 CFU/cm2 in 7 days, lower than in the control group (1.46 x 108 CFU/cm2) at the same time. While those fed 75 mg/day chocolate decreased to 2.70 x 107 CFU/cm2 and the three groups were significantly different (0.000<0.05). Prebiotics fermented by probiotics release short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), which compete with the pathogens for attaching to the epithelial wall so that pathogens lose space and nutrients to survive. However, the adverse effect of chocolate may occur because it contains sugar which is a nutrient for bacteria, but if the balance of normal flora and adequate intake of prebiotics are administered, the pathogen could be eliminated.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus merupakan bakteri patogen yang dapat menyebabkan berbagai infeksi, terutama pada kulit, seperti bisul, impetigo, dan abses. Infeksi ini sering kali ditandai dengan peradangan, nekrosis, dan pembentukan nanah, yang secara signifikan dapat mengganggu fungsi kulit sebagai pelindung tubuh. Tantangan utama dalam pengelolaannya adalah meningkatnya resistensi antibiotik, termasuk Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), sehingga diperlukan alternatif yang efektif, seperti bahan herbal, untuk mengatasi permasalahan ini. Kulit pisang kepok kuning yang sering berakhir sebagai limbah organik, diketahui mengandung senyawa aktif seperti flavonoid, alkaloid, saponin, tanin, dan antioksidan. Senyawa-senyawa tersebut memiliki aktivitas antibakteri yang signifikan, disertai dengan kemampuan melindungi kulit dari kerusakan akibat radikal bebas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan perbedaan efektivitas losion berbahan dasar ekstrak kulit pisang kepok kuning dengan tiga konsentrasi berbeda, yaitu formula I (30%), formula II (60%), dan formula III (90%) dalam menghambat pertumbuhan Staphylococcus aureus. Penelitian berbentuk quasi eksperimental desain ini menggunakan metode difusi cakram. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata diameter zona hambat formula I adalah 5,60 mm, formula II adalah 8,30 mm, dan formula III adalah 8,70 mm. Analisis statistik dengan uji Kruskal-Wallis menunjukkan nilai p = 0,004, yang mengindikasikan adanya perbedaan signifikan antar formula. Kesimpulannya, losion ekstrak kulit pisang kepok kuning menunjukkan efektivitas yang signifikan dalam menghambat pertumbuhan Staphylococcus aureus. Efektivitas ini meningkat secara proporsional dengan konsentrasi ekstrak, sehingga produk ini memiliki potensi untuk digunakan sebagai losion antibakteri.

Abstract

Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) remains a global concern in obstetrics due to its potential to cause complications such as infections that increase maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. PROM occurs in approximately 10–15% of pregnancies worldwide and 8–10% in Indonesia, often before 37 weeks of gestation, contributing significantly to preterm births and neonatal deaths. Risk factors for PROM include maternal age, parity, infection, and other pregnancy-related conditions. Infection resulting from PROM can be identified through leukocyte count in newborns, with leukocytosis indicating the presence of infection. This study aimed to examine the relationship between PROM and leukocyte levels in newborns at RSUD Drs. Jacobus Luna, M.Si, Bengkayang Regency, using a descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach and total sampling of 88 respondents. Results showed that among 36 newborns with elevated leukocyte levels, 28 cases (77.8%) were born from PROM pregnancies, whereas only 8 cases (22.2%) were non-PROM. Among 52 cases with normal leukocyte levels, only 11 newborns (21.2%) had PROM, while 41 (78.8%) did not. These findings indicate that newborns from PROM pregnancies tend to have higher leukocyte counts. Statistical analysis using Chi-square showed a significant relationship between PROM and leukocyte levels, with a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05). In conclusion, PROM is a notable risk factor for increased leukocyte counts in neonates, underscoring the importance of early detection and management of PROM to reduce the risk of neonatal infection and its associated complications.

Abstract

Moringa oleifera leaves a common herbal plant found in tropical regions and naturalized in Indonesia, are known to be rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, alkaloids, and saponins. These compounds have potential medicinal properties, including antibacterial activity. This study aims to examine the antibacterial effectiveness of moringa leaf extract against the growth of Escherichia coli using the diffusion method. This descriptive-analytical research employed a purposive sampling technique with varying concentrations of moringa leaf extract: 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100%. Each concentration was tested in triplicate, resulting in a total of 30 samples. The antibacterial effectiveness test was conducted using the agar diffusion method with blank paper disks. The results showed that no inhibition zones were formed at concentrations of 10% and 20%. Inhibition zones began to appear at 30% concentration (7.3 mm), increasing with higher concentrations: 40% (9 mm), 50% (10.3 mm), 60% (11.3 mm), 70% (16.6 mm), 80% (23.3 mm), 90% (28.3 mm), and reaching 34.6 mm at 100% concentration. Based on the antibacterial activity category, 10% and 20% showed no activity, 30% and 40% were categorized as weak, 50% and 60% as moderate, 70% as strong, and 80%, 90%, and 100% as very strong. It can be concluded that an 80% concentration of moringa leaf extract is the most effective in inhibiting the growth of Escherichia coli.

Abstract

Ascaris lumbricoides is a type of helminth that can infect humans. One laboratory method for its examination is the use of 2% eosin staining with the direct slide method. However, eosin poses potential hazards to both the environment and human health, thus prompting the need for an alternative, eco-friendly staining agent. Gambir (Uncaria gambir (Hunter) Roxb.) contains red catechu, which imparts a red coloration to solutions. This study aims to evaluate the staining differences based on varying soaking times of Gambir extract for staining Ascaris lumbricoides eggs as a natural alternative to eosin. This research is a quasi-experimental study using purposive sampling. The Gambir samples were soaked in 96% ethanol for 1 hour, 1 hour 30 minutes, and 2 hours. Each treatment was replicated 9 times, resulting in a total of 27 samples. The staining was conducted using the direct slide method to examine Ascaris lumbricoides eggs. The results showed that Gambir soaked for 1 hour yielded a staining quality of 41.67%, 1 hour 30 minutes resulted in 68.51%, and 2 hours resulted in 87.96%, while the 2% eosin control achieved a staining quality of 100%. Based on the results of this study on the variation in soaking time of gambier (Uncaria gambir (Hunter) Roxb.) as an alternative dye to eosin in the examination of Ascaris lumbricoides eggs, it can be concluded that the staining success rate increases with longer soaking durations.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a type of metabolic disorder where the sufferer has high blood sugar levels due to the body's failure to respond or produces insufficient amounts of insulin, or a metabolic disorder caused by hyperglycemia due to abnormalities in insulin secretion and insulin action or both. One of the complications of diabetes is ulcers, where a superficial infection occurs on the sufferer's skin and becomes a strategic location for bacterial growth. Most of the drugs that are widely used to inhibit or kill bacteria that cause infections in humans are antibiotics which carry the risk of drug resistance. Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem in many parts of the world. Antibiotic resistance can occur due to inappropriate or excessive use of antibiotics. This study aims to determine the susceptibility of pathogenic bacteria to several antimicrobial agents or antibiotics and to determine the percentage of antibiotic resistance in diabetes mellitus patients who experience complications, which will make it easier to choose the right antibiotic for healing. This research uses a descriptive method using samples of bacterial isolates which have been identified as 11 samples of Staphylococcus aureus bacterial isolates, 11 samples of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates and 39 samples of Klebsiella pneumoniae bacterial isolates. Antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) disk diffusion method (Kirby & Bauer test) using Mueller Hinton media. With eight different types of antibiotics, this test was carried out to prove antimicrobial activity by measuring the diameter of the antimicrobial activity inhibition zone. Resistance test results were obtained in Staphylococcus aureus experiencing the highest resistance to the antibiotic Gentamycin (CN) at 63.63%, in Pseudomonas aeruginosa experiencing high resistance to the antibiotic Ampicillin (AMP) at 54.54%, and in Klebsiella pneumoniae experiencing the highest resistance. against the antibiotic Ampicillin (AMP) was 41.02%. Preventing antibiotic resistance in wound healing is very important to ensure antibiotics remain effective in treating infections. Therefore, this research was carried out in order to determine the correct type of antibiotic for healing wounds in diabetes mellitus sufferers.
