Lack of nutrient in school age children in several times had implication in abnormal increasing body weight and height related with their growth.  Snack food school –age children had contribute 15-20% from total  daily nutrien consumption. Aim of this study  is to describe characteristic body mass index and nutrition knowledge about healty snack food school age. Method.Collecting primary data with cross sectional descriptive study  comes from questionnaire, measurement of body weight and height.Number of total sampling 33 participants from grade 5 elementary school   Ciawi Jatinangor. The questionnaire were asked about characteristics participants, nutritional knowledge and their reasoning and preference for variety of snack food school-age children. It also include question about their self efficacy about their knowledge.  Results The result shows most of participants, male and female  in underweight status. The mostly reasoning choice snacking school variety cause of their tastefull, cheaper and  umami. Number they pocket money not correlated with their skill to choices variety of school snacking. Conclusion. The present study revealed that, 36% and 39%  of boys  and girls respectively were having underweight BMI with lack of healthy characteristical  knowledge of  snack food school aged. Participants tends to show good self efficacy about their snacking food. Changing student food behavior and their efficacy will require cooperation supports between school staff, parents and food vendors at schoolKeywords : Body Mass Index, Nutrition knowledge, Snack food School-Age Children   AbstrakKurangnya zat gizi pada anak usia sekolah dalam waktu yang lama dapat berimplikasi pada terganggunya penambahan berat badan dan tinggi badan seorang anak yang sedang bertumbuh. Salah satu pemenuhan zat gizi harian yang penting adalah lewat kontribusi zat gizi Pangan Jajanan Anak Sekolah(PJAS) antara 15-20%.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran karakteristik status gizi (body mass index) dan tingkat pengetahuan PJAS pada anak sekolah dasar di Jatinangor.. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian potong lintang deskriptif dengan menggunakan data primer melalui kuesioner dan pengukuran berat badan dan tinggi badan.Jumlah total sampling yang diambil sekitar 33 orang siswa kelas 4 SD Ciawi Jatinangor. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian besar siswa berada pada status gizi kurang (underweight) baik pada laki-laki maupun perempuan. Alasan terbesar para siswa memilih jenis makanan PJAS adalah karena rasanya enak dan harganya murah. Besaran uang saku yang mereka bawa setiap harinya tidak berkorelasi dengan ketrampilan mereka dalam menentukan jenis PJAS. Perlu kerjasama yang baik antara pihak sekolah, orangtua murid dan pedagang makanan di ingkungan sekolah untuk membentuk prilaku jajan yang baik dan self efficacy yang baik pada siswa.Kata kunci :Body Mass Index, karakteristik pengetahuan jajanan , pangan jajanan anak sekolah

Abstract

Background: Depok is the city with the largest COVID-19 cases in West Java, Indonesia. The application of health protocol for high school student as the second-largest age group,’s depends on the level of knowledge and attitudes that can be affected by gender. This study aimed to determine the level of knowledge and attitudes based on the gender of high school students towards COVID-19 in Depok.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional analytic study, conducted from June 2020 to June 2021. The data was collected using a Google form application with a validated questionnaire and the research subjects were high school students in Depok. Knowledge of COVID-19 was assessed with 18 questions, true or false questions. Correct answer was assigned 1 point. Points were summed for a total knowledge score of Poor, Moderate, or Good. Attitude was assessed with 6 questions. For each answer given, subjects with a total score of >18 were assessed as a positive attitude.Results: Of a total of 273 respondents, 238 had met the inclusion criteria. Most of the respondents had a moderate level of knowledge (60.5%) and most of the respondents (89%) had a positive attitude towards COVID-19. No significant differences in level of knowledge or attitude between males and females (p>0.05).Conclusions: High school students in Depok have a moderate level of knowledge and have a positive attitude in dealing with COVID-19 which is not influenced by gender. The lack of information regarding the timing of vaccine administration and examination of COVID-19 needs to be a concern for high school students in Depok.

Abstract

Background: Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) can penetrate through the barrier between the blood and the brain through simple diffusion and obtains benefits for neurons. Supplementation of DHA-enriched fish oil for seven weeks in young male Wistar rat could alter dopamine (DA) receptor modulation, and it may be related to the increased weight gain. Aim: This present study aims to explore the alteration of the dopamine receptors (D1DR and D2DR) gene expression in the cerebral cortex and hippocampal area, as a top-down circuit control, related to the role of body weight gain as an indicator of food intake. Methods: Twenty samples of Rattus novergicus, aged 7-8 weeks, were randomly grouped into two groups as follows: 10 rats as the control group (CG) and 10 rats in the group that received treatment with fish oil -omega 3 capsules (FOG). CG and FOG were fed with standard laboratory food and received water ad libitum. The treated group (FOG) received 0.2 ml added supplementation of DHA-enrich fish oil (FO) capsules with the daily dose of 30 mg EPA and 45 mg of DHA for 7 weeks via gavage every morning. The body weight of each rat was weighed and recorded every 2 weeks. Results: The weight had increased significantly in the FOG during the first 4 weeks of treatment and continued to grow until the end of the 7 weeks of treatment (p=0.036). The relative D1DR gene expression in the cerebral cortex was significantly higher compared to the relative expression mRNA in the hippocampus region (D1DR 1.6 fold, p

Abstract

Anatomical topography of fmelewati gacial nerve is very important as one of basic knowledge for clinical application. Extra cranial facial nerve branches were difficult to identify because of their smaller size and lack of consistent landmark. Dissected skill need experience with various tissue, like fresh and embalmed tissue. This study was aimed to compare the facial nerve anatomical dissection by using fresh tissue and embalmed tissue cadaver. Three fresh tissue cadaver from Forensic Department and three embalmed tissue cadaver (after 2 months preservated by ethanol) from laboratorium Anatomy Department were used to anatomical dissection the topography of extra cranial facial nerve. Incisi line started from midline across the glabella,tip of the nose until philtral groove. Skin flap from midline to lateral until we find the branches of facial nerve. The anatomical dissection of extra cranial facial nerve from 3 embalmed tissue can provide dissected facial nerve and it”s branches. But it is hardly difficult to separate the skin from Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System (SMAS) compared with fresh cadaveric tissue. Embalmed cadaver and fresh tissue from post mortem body can be used for anatomical dissection study of extra cranial facial nerve. Each different tissue has its own difficulties depends the aim of the dissection study.

Abstract

Background: Nutmeg is an indigenous plant from Indonesia that has been used extensively in herbal treatment. Nutmeg seed extract (NuSE) contains the active compound macelignan, which exhibits pharmacological activities. A previous study stated that NuSE is PPARγ or peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma agonist that potentially enhances synaptic signal modulation. PPARγ activation can activate PGC1α or peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha as the primary regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. Mitochondria are involved in synaptic transmission. Increased modulation of signals at synapses can increase neuroplasticity, potentially improving the brain's cognitive function, as seen by the amount of Synaptophysin in the synaptic vesicle membrane for evaluating synaptogenesis.Objective: This research demonstrates how nutmeg seed extract (NuSE) affects PGC1α and synaptophysin expression compared with DHA or docosahexanoieac acid, which has been evidenced to promote neurite growth.Methods: Twenty-four Wistar male rats aged eight weeks were divided into four groups (control, PGA group, NuSE group, and DHA group). The treatment group was administered for 12 weeks using a gavage. After that, the rats were sacrificed, and the hippocampus neurons were collected. The PGC1α and Synaptophysin mRNA expression was measured using semiquantitative reversed PCR, visualized with electrophoresis, and then quantified with ImageJ.Results: This study showed that NuSE increased synaptophysin and PGC1α mRNA expressions compared to the control group with significance statistic (p=0.017, p<0,05) in synaptophysin expression but did not increase PGC1α expression significantly (p=0.364, p>0,05).Conclusion: In conclusion, nutmeg seed extract (NuSE) impacts synaptogenesis in synaptophysin expression to modulate synaptic transmission.

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the education sector and caused major changes. This situation provides challenges for students, resulting in increased anxiety, especially for medical students who tend to have higher level of anxiety. This study aimed to determine the proportion of anxiety levels among undergraduate medical students in online learning during the COVID pandemic.Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in September–November 2022, involving 156 undergraduate medical students at Universitas Padjadjaran, Indonesia batch 2019–2021 who had no history of somatic or psychiatric disease. The stratified simple random sampling method was used. Anxiety levels was assessed using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) questionnaire. Data was analyzed using Pearson’s Correlation.Results:  Participants were dominated by females (71.1%), average age 19.9 years with a grade point average (GPA) of 3.51-4.00 (88.5%). The anxiety level of most participants was mild (67.9%) and 19.2% were at the severe level. Interestingly, severe levels of anxiety seemed to occur more commonly in females, group batch 2020, GPA 2.51-3.00, living alone and in a place other than in the family home or rented house. Furthermore, respiratory manifestations tended to be the mildest, whereas intellectual manifestations were more often severely impacted.Conclusions: The anxiety level of undergraduate medical students in Universitas Padjadjaran is mostly mild. Female more often experience anxiety at a more severe level. Further research is needed to identify and analyze more comprehensively other possible anxiety factors in medical students.

Abstract

Background: Post-stroke insomnia (PSI) is a highly prevalent complication of stroke. Clinical manifestations of PSI include non-refreshing, non-restorative sleep quality and short sleep duration, leading to stroke recovery impediment, cognitive, emotional, and daytime dysfunction, and poor quality of life in stroke patients. PSI can be treated with medications, but studies have reported various adverse effects of hypnotic drugs in PSI. Objective: This study explores non-pharmacological treatments for their efficacy to improve sleep quality in PSI patients. Methods: An electronic search in Medline, Google Scholar, Elsevier, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and Semantic Scholar was performed to identify studies examining the efficacy of non-pharmacological approaches to PSI. Results: A total of ten studies examining the efficacy of non-pharmacological approaches to PSI were reviewed. The characteristics of PSI patients in these studies comprised the older population typically at several months after suffering commonly from ischemic type stroke. The evaluated treatments are EEG biofeedback, acupuncture, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), light therapy, and repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). All treatments successfully improved sleep quality, insomnia symptoms, and quality of life in stroke patients as assessed by various measurements including PSQI and actigraphy. Only mild adverse events were reported following acupuncture, such as local hematoma and hand numbness. Conclusion: Non-pharmacological approaches can be considered efficacious in improving sleep quality index, insomnia symptoms, and quality of life of PSI patients. Furthermore, they do not cause severe or long-lasting adverse effects, thus deemed safe for stroke patients.

Abstract

The development of cadaver preservation has been fast-paced. The subtraction of formalin dose in embalming has been used since many negative factors were found in long-term usage. Preventing putrefaction progress on the cadavers, ensuring no risk of infection when in contact with a dead body, preventing hardening and retention of color tissue and organs, preventing desiccation, inhibit fungal or bacterial growth are the main goals of embalming for anatomical purposes. The new formula has been developed by using low-dose formalin, ethanol, phenol, and sodium chloride (Modified Low-Dose Formalin). This method can be used in practical anatomical-surgical dissection using either cadavers or anatomical models with low-cost maintenance.
