Abstract

Yellow pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata D.) has various compounds that can be used as antioxidants, such as tocopherol, carotene, and phenolics. This research aims to determine which parts of the plant have potential as antioxidants by comparing the antioxidant activity of fruit, leaves, and seeds. Antioxidant activity measurements were carried out using the DPPH method by comparing the absorbance of the control and the absorbance of the sample to determine the percentage of antioxidant activity and IC50 value of each sample. From the measurement results, the IC50 values for pumpkin leaves, seeds, and fruit were 182.85 ppm, 57.04 ppm, and 90.88 ppm, respectively. Based on these results, leaves have the highest antioxidant activity compared to seeds and fruit. The results of this study show that pumpkin fruit and seeds have lower antioxidant activity than leaves. The results of this study show that pumpkin leaves had lower antioxidant activity than seeds and flesh.

Abstract

Antibiotic resistance is global issue and the incident is increasing with the use of unwise antibiotic. This study is to describe and evaluate appropriateness of antibiotic prophylaxis selection on Cesarean Section and Hysterectomy procedure. Purpose of study is to evaluate appropiateness of antibiotic selection on cesarean section and hysterectomy. A retrospective study was performed during September 2016 - January 2017 in Private Hospital, Semarang. Data were analized quantitatively using ATC-DDD methodology. Evaluation of antibiotic prophylaxis will be assessed based on The guideline of The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) : Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Gynecologic Procedures and The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) : Clinical Practice Guidelines for Antimicrobial Prophylaxis in Surgery. Overall, 90 of 95 patients were given antibiotic prophylaxis. The most frequently used antibiotics were ceftriaxone (69.51 DDD/Patient-days) and ceftazidime (14.95 DDD/Patient-days). Appropriate antibiotic selection based on the guidelines for cesarean section procedure was 1.75% and 6.1% for hysterectomy procedure. The use of antibiotic prophylaxis on cesarean section and hysterectomy procedure was very high and less appropriate in the selection. Almost patient received third-generation cephalosporin instead of first-generation cephalosporin such as cefazolin. cefazolin is more effective and narrow spectrum for infection-causing bacteria of these procedures.

Abstract

Lung cancer is the second most common cause of death worldwide after breast cancer. This is associated with late diagnosis, which reduces the survival rate. Early diagnosis is one approach that may be employed to improve outcome for the patient with lung cancer. When a small level of cancer is present in the body, a biomarker can be utilized as a diagnostic marker. Liquid biopsy is minimal invasive which can be done to obtain multi-biomarkers in lung cancer. In this article, we will discuss and explore about potential biomarkers for lung cancer early diagnosis.
