Abstract

Background. Vitamin B12 deficiency is a significant problem, particularly in developing countries. The increasing complexity of the Vitamin B12 molecule, the deficiency condition, causes a complex cell level disorder. The clinical manifestation of vitamin B12 deficiency is anemia, but it is believed that due to the complexity of vitamin B12, there are still other molecular disorders. This study aims to establish the pathway of damage caused by vitamin B12 deficiency in the Nrf2 molecule. Methods. An animal experiment involving 12 male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into control and 16-week treatment. There are two research groups, namely the control group and the treatment group. The control group was given a standard diet, while the treatment group was assigned a vitamin B12 deficiency diet. At the end of treatment, The levels of vitamin B12 in the liver tissue and plasma NRF2 were measured. Statistical Analysis. Nrf2 and vitamin B12 levels were statistically analyzed using the Student's T-test, and the correlation between vitamin B12 and Hb was analyzed using the Spearmen test. Data that cannot use by Independent T-test were tested using the Mann Whitney test. Results/Conclusion. There was no significant difference between the control and treatment groups on plasma Nrf2 levels (4.02 ± 0.59 pg/ml vs 3.34 ± 0.55 pg/ml; p = 0.07) and tissue vitamin B12 (0.0035 ± 0.0016 µg/ml vs 0.0030 ± 0.0006 µg/ml ; p = 0.8).

Abstract

ntroduction The Thousand Islands, a popular tourist destination in DKI Jakarta Province, is facing a new challenge, namely the increasing concern about the transmission of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) triggered by the increase in tourism visits. In response to this issue, a community service activity was carried out by the Faculty of Medicine at UHAMKA. Objective The aim of this activity is to raise awareness and knowledge in the community, particularly among educators in the Thousand Islands, about the dangers of and prevention against STIs and the importance of Reproductive Health Education. Method The partners in this community service activity are teachers in the Thousand Islands. A total of 30 teachers were involved in this training. The methods used involve training and counseling that incorporate direct training and open discussions. Data were collected through observations and field notes. Results The results of this activity include an increase in understanding and skills of teachers concerning Reproductive Health Education and STI prevention, which they can apply in educating students. Additionally, it was found that community awareness about the dangers of STIs also increased as a direct result of this activity. Conclusion The conclusion that can be derived from this activity is that appropriate education and training on reproductive health and the prevention of STIs for the community, specifically educators, can be an effective strategy in controlling STI transmission in tourist areas like the Thousand Islands. This activity also helps to strengthen the local health system in dealing with the challenge of STI transmission.
