Abstract

Doxorubicin, a well-known chemotherapy drug, is associated with cardiac toxicity primarily due to oxidative stress. This oxidative stress leads to the production of reactive oxygen species and a subsequent decline in antioxidant levels. As doxorubicin induces the formation of free radicals and decreases endogenous antioxidants, it triggers various hematological and biochemical abnormalities. Consequently, the use of antioxidants has been proposed as a strategy to mitigate this damage. This study focuses on the administration of ethanol extract from Andaliman (EAF) fruit, recognized for its rich array of metabolites and antioxidant properties, which may serve as a cardioprotective agent against the adverse effects of doxorubicin. The research involved comprehensive observations, including hematological and clinical chemistry examinations. The findings indicate that EAF demonstrates protective effects by enhancing hematological and clinical chemistry parameters in male Wistar rats subjected to doxorubicin. Notably, these improvements were statistically significant when compared to the control group. Given its promising results, further exploration of EAF as a protective agent for hematological and biochemical health warrants attention and development.

Abstract

Hypertension is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in Indonesia and worldwide. The success of hypertension therapy is strongly influenced by patient knowledge and medication adherence. The 2023 Indonesian Health Survey reported a hypertension prevalence of 30.6% among adults, with a prevalence of 24.4% in North Sumatra. Medication Therapy Management (MTM) represents a strategic approach to optimizing hypertension treatment outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate two MTM intervention models—direct interaction and audio-visual—and assess their effects on knowledge, medication adherence, and clinical outcomes among hypertensive patients at the Aviati Clinic, Medan. This quasi-experimental comparative study employed a three-group pretest–posttest design involving 126 hypertensive patients. Participants were allocated into a control group receiving usual care without structured education, a direct interaction MTM group, and an audio-visual MTM group. Patient knowledge was assessed using the HKLS questionnaire, adherence was measured using the MARS-5 questionnaire, and clinical outcomes were evaluated through blood pressure measurements. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Bonferroni post hoc analysis. The results demonstrated that both MTM intervention models significantly improved knowledge, medication adherence, and clinical outcomes compared with the control group (p < 0.001). Although both intervention groups were effective, the direct interaction MTM model produced a greater reduction in systolic blood pressure than the audio-visual intervention. These findings indicate that structured MTM interventions, particularly those delivered through direct interaction, are effective in improving therapeutic outcomes in patients with hypertension.

Abstract

Background: The drying process in the preparation of herbal material affects the quality, chemical compound content, and mineral composition of herbal ingredients. Barangan banana peel (Musa acuminata Colla) has potential as a preventive dental agent due to its phytochemical and mineral content. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the simplicia quality (moisture content and total ash content) as well as the chemical compound and mineral composition of Barangan banana peel dried using two different methods. Methods: This was a qualitative analytical study. Cleaned and chopped Barangan banana peels were divided into two groups: oven-dried (OD; 60°C for 12 hours) and freeze-dried (FD; -65°C for 4 hours followed by 48 hours of freeze drying). The simplicia was ground using a ball mill (500 rpm for 6 hours). Moisture content was determined using the toluene method, while total ash content was measured by heating at 800°C. Identification of chemical compounds and minerals was performed using GC-MS and XRF, respectively. Results: Moisture content of the OD group was 9.23% and of the FD group was 7.11%; total ash content was 10.83% and 10.60%, respectively. Both met the standards of the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia (moisture content <10%, total ash content <15%). GC-MS identification revealed that the FD group exhibited a greater variety of chemical compounds (12 components) compared to the OD group (7 components). The highest mineral content in both groups was potassium (K), with magnesium (Mg) being higher in the OD group (15.32%) than in the FD group (9.95%). Conclusion: The drying method affects the quality and composition of Barangan banana peel. Freeze drying resulted in lower moisture content and greater phytochemical diversity, whereas oven drying tended to preserve higher mineral content for certain elements. The simplicia of Barangan banana peel from both methods has potential to be developed as a preventive dental material.
