Abstract

Gastric ulcers can be caused by active inflammation due to impaired mucosal integrity, which causes local or widespread lesions. Gastric ulcers can occur due to the use of ethanol, which has a local effect on the gastric. Therefore, the continuous consumption of ethanol can damage gastric cells. Raphanus sativus and Pachyrhizus erosus contain flavonoids, which are well-known to reduce stomach acid as a curative agent.  The objective of this study is to see the effect of Raphanus sativus and Pachyrhizus erosus juice as a preventive agent on alcohol-induced gastric ulcers in mice (Mus musculus). A combination of Raphanus sativus and Pachyrhizus erosus was given at a dose of 100, 300, and 600 mg/kgBW. Specifically, Raphanus sativus was given at a dose of 300 mg/kgBW, Pachyrhizus erosus at a dose of 300 mg/kgBW, and positive control was included using sucralfate. The treatment was carried out for 12 days, and 1 hour after the last day of treatment, 20 ml/kgBW of ethanol induction was given 24 hours after the animals were dissected. The results showed that the index value of gastric ulcers in the normal group, negative control, and the combination of Raphanus sativus and Pachyrhizus erosus juice given orally at a dose of 100, 300, and 600 mg/kgBW (Raphanus sativus at a dose of 300 mg/kgBW, Pachyrhizus erosus at a dose of 300 mg/kgBW, and sucralfate as positive control) were 0; 4.00; 1.00; 1.33; 2.33; 2.67; 0 and 2.00. The results of the histopathological analysis also showed improvement in the gastric of mice fed with Pachyrhizus erosus juice. Therefore, it is inferred that treatment using Raphanus sativus and Pachyrhizus erosus juice can reduce the number of ulcers, increase ratio protection, and repair the cells in gastric histopathology. Additionally, giving a single dose of Pachyrhizus erosus juice results in a more significant gastric improvement.

Abstract

Background: Liver has many functions in the metabolic system and detoxification of substances that are harmful to the body. Chemical intoxication due to drug use might induce liver damage. A histology examination can indicate liver damage induced by a chemical substance, as well as the condition of tissue structure and function associated with the disease. This study aims to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of mix infusion of hibiscus flowers and soursop leaves on the liver histological structure in mice induced by hyperuricemia using potassium oxonate. Methodology: This study used an experimental group design, involving 8-week-old mice. The groups were divided as follows: A1 (control), A2 (Potassium oxonate), A3 (allopurinol), A4 (infusion 25 %), A5 (infusion 35 %), and A6 (infusion 45 %). Histological image was examined using an optilab with five fields of view. Findings: The study's revealed that the control group had a normal liver histology structure, whereas the hyperuricemia treatment group experienced significant liver damage, including congestion and leukocyte infiltration, and the allopurinol treatment group experienced significant damage, including leukocyte infiltration and necrosis. Therapy with a combined infusion of hibiscus flowers and soursop leaves shown a hepatoprotective effect. Based on histological analysis, the 25 % concentration provided the greatest hepatoprotective impact when compared to other infusion concentration. Mix infusion of hibiscus flowers and soursop leaves demonstrates heproprotective activity in hyperuricemia mice induced by potassium oxonate. Contribution: This study demonstrates that the mix infusion of hibiscus flowers and soursop leaves has the potential to be a hepatoprotective agent, but further research is needed regarding long-term effects
