Abstract

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this research is to understand the secondary metabolites of Momordica charantia L. extract, as well as to disclose the potential of M. charantia extract in the phagocytic activity and capacity of peritoneummacrophages.METHODS: Examination of immunomodulatory effect was done by giving M. charantia ethanol extract on 5 treatment groups, given intra-peritoneally to mice daily. Echinacea extract as positive control and double distilled water as negative control were also given. On the 8th day, mice were infected with Staphylococcus epidermidis. After 30 minutes, peritoneum fluid was obtained to observe the activity and capacity of macrophage cells.RESULTS: The results showed significant phagocytic activity (p<0.05) at a concentration of 1,200 ppm compare to the other groups. Meanwhile the macrophage cell capacity was found statistically insignificant (p>0.05). The highest phagocytic activity was the group treated with 1,200 ppm (62%), significantly higher than other groups.CONCLUSION: The secondary metabolite content of M. charantia is alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and triterpenoids. The 1,200 ppm M. charantia ethanol extract is potential in inducing phagocytic activity and capacity. These results indicate that the M. charantia can be suggested as a natural immunomodulator.KEYWORDS: pare fruit, Momordica charantia L., phagocytosis, macrophage, immunomodulator

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Typhoid fever has become one global health problem. Typhoid fever is caused by a Gram-negative bacterium, Salmonella typhi. Eel (Anguilla spp.) is a fish which lives in the sea or in freshwater. Several previous studies have found that Anguilla spp. mucus has the ability as antibacterial against Gram-positive and negative. Although the antibacterial activity of Anguilla spp. against various pathogens had been reported, very little is known about its activity against Salmonella typhi. The aim of this study was to investigate antibacterial activity of Anguilla spp. mucus against Salmonella typhi bacteria.METHODS: Present study was an experimental in vitro test. Antibacterial activity assays were carried out by the disc diffusion method. Antibacterial activity was determined by the clear zone formed around the paper disc and minimum inhibitory concentration was determined by observing the lowest concentration which could inhibit the growth of Salmonella typhi.RESULTS: Result of the present study showed that the Anguilla spp. mucus has inhibitory effects against Salmonella typhi. Minimum inhibitory concentration from the Anguilla spp. mucus was 12.5%.CONCLUSION: Anguilla spp. mucus has antibacterial activity against the Salmonella typhi bacteria.KEYWORDS: eel fish mucus, Anguilla spp., antibacterial activity, Salmonella typhi

Abstract

Background: Inflammation is a protective physiological response to tissue injury that can be caused by harmful stimuli. If the inflammatory process is prolonged and cannot restore to homeostatic conditions, this may lead to pathological effects that can damage cells and cause various diseases. Elephantopus scaber is a plant that can easily be found in Indonesia. Elephantopus scaber is a type of plant that is often used as a traditional medicines. Several studies have shown that the compound bioactive content contained in plants has enormous potential as alternative medicine.Objective: This present study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of ethanolic extract of Elephantopus scabe leaves.Methods: The Elephantopus scaber leaves were extracted using ethanol solvent into different concentration (50 mg/mL, 100 mg/mL, and 120 mg/mL). Diclofenac sodium was used as the standard. Anti-inflammatory assays were performed by the human red blood cell (HRBC) membrane stabilization method and heat-induced hemolysis method. Phytochemical screening that used in the present study was a conventional method.Results: Phytochemical screening showed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. In the present study, ethanolic extract of Elephantopus scaber leaves has anti inflammatory activity by protecting the stability of red blood cell membrane. The highest protection capability possessed by the ethanolic extract of Elephantopus scaber leaves in both human red blood cell (HRBC) membrane stabilization method and heatinduced hemolysis method was at a concentration of 100 mg/mL.Conclusion: The ethanolic extract of Elephantophus scaber has antiinflammatory activities by in vitro assays.

Abstract

Kepatuhan minum obat merupakan faktor penting dalam pengelolaan hipertensi. Keterlibatan keluarga sebagai Pengawas Minum Obat (PMO) diyakini dapat meningkatkan kepatuhan pasien, khususnya di daerah dengan keterbatasan akses layanan kesehatan seperti Kabupaten Wakatobi. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan peran anggota keluarga sebagai PMO dalam meningkatkan kepatuhan terapi pada penderita hipertensi. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Liya pada bulan Oktober 2025, melibatkan 40 penderita hipertensi beserta anggota keluarganya. Intervensi meliputi edukasi kesehatan, pelatihan PMO, simulasi praktik, dan pendampingan. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui pre-test dan post-test pengetahuan serta pemantauan kepatuhan minum obat menggunakan lembar kontrol harian. Monitoring berkala dilakukan untuk memastikan keberlanjutan intervensi. Peningkatan kepatuhan minum obat terlihat signifikan, dari 55% sebelum intervensi menjadi 85% setelah intervensi. Anggota keluarga mampu menjalankan peran PMO secara efektif, termasuk mengingatkan jadwal minum obat, memberikan dukungan emosional, dan memantau kepatuhan pasien. Optimalisasi peran keluarga sebagai PMO terbukti efektif meningkatkan kepatuhan terapi pada penderita hipertensi. Pendekatan ini dapat dijadikan model intervensi berkelanjutan di masyarakat, khususnya di wilayah dengan keterbatasan akses kesehatan.
