Abstract

Mycobacterium leprae is an acid-fast bacterium that causes leprosy diseases, which remains a problem worldwide. Even though leprosy prevalence in the world has decreased significantly, many endemic pocket areas continue reporting new cases and harbor M. leprae in the environment, including water and soil. The presence of obligate intracellular bacteria-M. leprae in the environment raises a question on how it survives. Free-living amoeba has been proposed as its reservoir host in the environment. The study was conducted to give evidence that M. leprae can survive inside free-living amoeba isolated from water sources of leprosy endemic areas. M. leprae from leprosy patients was cultured together with Acanthamoeba sp. isolated from the water source of the leprosy endemic area. Viability and duplication of M. leprae inside amoeba then observed at day 14 and 28 using reverse transcriptase PCR and qPCR. The results showed that M. leprae survived inside the amoeba until day 28, but no bacterial replication was observed. The study reveals in vitro evidence of viable M. leprae inside free-living amoeba of leprosy endemic area environment.

Abstract

PPTQ Hasan Munadi is an Islamic boarding school located in Badengan District, Ponorogo, East Java. The journey to the school requires a long travel distance, with winding roads and a considerable distance from the city. This situation leads to limited healthcare facilities, particularly dental clinics, and infrequent oral health education activities in the surrounding area. As a result, many students at the boarding school have a limited understanding of the importance of maintaining oral health, including the proper techniques for brushing teeth. The aim of the health education program at Pondok Pesantren PPTQ Hasan Munadi is to provide dental and oral health education and training to students from an early age (7-9 years old). This health education program used pre-post test to asses the program’s success. Before the health education intervention, students are given a pre-test. Following this, an educational session is conducted using a lecture method supported by media such as a phantom, video, and flipchart. Next session, a post-test is administered to assess any changes in the students' knowledge about maintaining oral health. Data analysis reveals that 49% of the students had a moderate level of knowledge regarding dental and oral health before the intervention. After the educational session, there was an increase of 7.3% in the number of students who achieved a good level of knowledge. This program indicates a significant improvement in the students' knowledge regarding oral health following the educational intervention.

Abstract

Lactobacillus sp. menunjukkan peran ganda sebagai patogen dan probiotik dalam rongga mulut. Beberapa spesies tertentu, seperti L. casei, L. paracasei, dan L. rhamnosus, sering dikaitkan dengan perkembangan karies gigi karena kemampuannya sebagai asidogenik dan pembentuk biofilm, yang memungkinkan berkembang biak dengan baik di lingkungan dengan pH rendah dan berkontribusi pada demineralisasi gigi. Sebaliknya, spesies lain seperti L. crispatus, L. salivarius, dan L. gasseri menunjukkan sifat probiotik yang signifikan, termasuk penghambatan patogen oral utama (misalnya, Streptococcus mutans dan Porphyromonas gingivalis), pengurangan inflamasi, dan peningkatan imunitas mukosa mulut. Strain probiotik Lactobacillus dapat memulihkan keseimbangan mikroba, menghasilkan zat antimikroba seperti asam organik, hidrogen peroksida, dan bakteriosin, serta membentuk biofilm pelindung yang membatasi kolonisasi patogen. Dampak Lactobacillus pada rongga mulut sangat bergantung pada strain dan konteksnya, dengan beberapa strain meningkatkan kesehatan mulut sementara yang lain dapat memperburuk penyakit. Dengan demikian, aplikasi probiotik Lactobacillus yang ditargetkan memberikan harapan untuk mencegah dan mengelola penyakit mulut, meskipun penelitian lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk mengklarifikasi mekanisme dan memastikan keamanan secara klinis.

Abstract

Seafood-based micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in the local economy of Kenjeran, Surabaya, yet many still lack sufficient knowledge of food safety systems. This study aimed to assess the understanding of MSME actors regarding the seven principles of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system and its implications for the nutritional quality of processed seafood products. A quantitative descriptive method was used, involving 24 closed-ended questionnaire items distributed to seafood-processing MSMEs in Kenjeran through purposive sampling. The research was conducted from January to March 2025. The instrument was validated through expert review and tested using Pearson correlation and Cronbach’s Alpha for reliability (α = 0.93). Data analysis employed descriptive statistics to identify patterns of understanding across HACCP principles. Results showed that overall comprehension was moderate, with the highest mean score on Principle 6 (Verification: 3.36), followed by Principles 2, 3, 4, and 7. However, Principle 1 (Hazard Analysis: 2.97) and Principle 5 (Corrective Actions: 2.98) had the lowest average scores, indicating critical gaps in recognizing food hazards and responding to deviations. These weaknesses may negatively impact the nutritional quality of seafood products, including protein degradation and vitamin loss due to poor control measures. It is recommended that targeted technical training, expert mentoring, improved documentation systems, and government support be implemented to enhance HACCP adoption. Strengthening food safety practices in MSMEs not only ensures product quality but also increases competitiveness in both local and global markets.

Abstract

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are chronic diseases that cannot be transmitted from one person to another. The aging population is at greater risk of developing NCDs, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease. Several factors, including genetics, physiology, environment, and lifestyle, can cause these diseases. Poor lifestyle habits, not balanced with physical activity and a healthy diet, significantly increase the prevalence of NCDs in a region. In Indonesia, 73% of deaths are caused by NCDs, and the Special Region of Yogyakarta and Jakarta provinces have the highest prevalence of NCDs. Therefore, a community service program was implemented to educate the older adults and increase their knowledge about NCDs. This program was integrated with the Wreda Mandiri Posyandu for Older Adults, an Integrated Health Service Post in Yogyakarta using interactive educational methods. The pre-test and post-test results given to 12 participants showed a significant increase in knowledge scores. This outreach and mentoring program can be continued regularly to improve the quality of life for older adults. Keyword : Non-communicable diseases; Older Adults; Counseling.
