Abstract

Parijoto (Medinilla speciosa Blume) is a plant found in Mount Muria, Kudus, Central Java. The local community often uses its fruit to treat various diseases, as well as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer. This study aimed to determine the antibacterial activity of n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extract from parijoto fruit against Staphyococcus aureus ATCC 29213 and Serratia marcescens clinical isolates. Gradual maceration of simplicial and antibacterial activity testing of the extracts was performed, followed by determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) and comparative antibacterial activity most active extract against ampicillin and cefadroxil. The results showed that all extracts exhibited activity against S. aureus ATCC 29213, but only ethyl acetate and methanol extracts had activity against S. marcescens clinical isolates. The highest antibacterial activity was shown by the methanol extract, which was more effective against S. aureus ATCC 29213, having the largest inhibition diameter and lowest MIC and MBC values (6.25 and 12.5 mg/mL). The comparative analysis indicated that the methanol extract demonstrated lower antibacterial activity against S. aureus ATCC 29213 than cefadroxil (72,511: 1). This antibacterial activity is presumed to be generated from alkaloids, polyphenols, tannins, flavonoids, quinones and saponina in the extract.Keywords: Amoxicillin, Cefadroxil, MIC, MBC

Abstract

Masalah terkait obat (DRPs) didefinisikan sebagai setiap kondisi dalam penatalaksanaan terapi pasien yang menyebabkan atau berpotensi menyebabkan tidak tercapainya hasil terapi yang optimal. Penelitian ini dilakukan di salah satu rumah sakit di Kota Cimahi pada bulan Mei 2014. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan identifikasi DRPs pada pasien wanita berusia 59 tahun yang didiagnosis penyakit ginjal kronis dengan penyulit penyakit arteri koroner dan gangren di tangan kiri (jari ke-3). Pasien diketahui mempunyai riwayat diabetes melitus sejak dua hingga tiga tahun yang lalu. Melalui kajian DRPs ditemukan permasalahan terkait obat, yaitu adanya terapi obat yang tidak diperlukan (pemberian kalsium polistiren sulfonat), ketidaktepatan pemilihan antibiotik, Ketidaktepatan dosis (pemberian amoksisilin dan kaptopril), dan risiko interaksi obat-obat merugikan (interaksi kaptopril–furosemid, kaptopril–isosorbid dinitrat, dan kaptopril–natrium bikarbonat). Pasien penyakit ginjal kronis dengan penyulit penyakit arteri koroner menerima terapi obat yang kompleks sehingga meningkatkan risiko terjadinya DRPs. Keterlibatan apoteker klinis di rumah sakit dalam penatalaksanaan penyakit yang kompleks diperlukan untuk mengoptimalkan terapi, meminimalisir risiko DRPs, dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup pasien.Kata kunci: Drug related problems, penyakit ginjal kronis, penyakit arteri koronerDrug Related Problems in the Management of Chronic Kidney Disease with Coronary Artery DiseaseDrug related problems were defined as conditions on patient’s therapy management that caused, or potentially caused unsuccessful therapy.

Abstract

pemahaman mengenai instruksi pengobatan merupakan permasalahan utama dalam pengobatan DMT2. Ketidakpatuhan pasien terhadap regimen obat hipoglikemik oral yang kompleks serta ketidaktepatan dalam cara dan waktu pengonsumsiannya merupakan barrier tercapainya keberhasilan terapi DMT2. Hal ini sangat berkaitan dengan kualitas pelayanan kefarmasian yang diberikan kepada pasien, khususnya pelayanan informasi obat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh intervensi pelayanan informasi obat terhadap parameter keberhasilan terapi diabetes yaitu glukosa 2 jam postprandial, HDL dan trigliserida. Penelitian ini merupakan nonrandomized concurrent control trial secara prospektif. 14 subjek uji direkrut selama 4 bulan selama Mei–Agustus 2013 kemudian dibagi menjadi dua grup. Kedua grup mendapat terapi pengobatan diabetes berupa hipoglikemik oral. Grup intervensi mendapatkan pelayanan informasi obat dan edukasi mengenai diabetes, sedangkan grup kontrol tidak mendapatkannya. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji t independen dengan α 0,05. Walau belum berbeda signifikan, nilai keberhasilan terapi dengan intervensi pelayanan informasi obat pada parameter glukosa 2 jam postprandial, HDL dan trigliserida memberikan hasil yang lebih tinggi 17,01%; 6,73%; dan 6,31% untuk masing-masing parameter dibandingkan terapi tanpa pelayanan kefarmasian tersebut.Kata kunci: Pelayanan informasi obat, diabetes, obat hipoglikemik oral Effect of Pharmaceutical Information Care on Clinical Outcomes of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes MellitusPoor adherence to medication and lack of understanding about medication instructions are the main problems in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Poor adherence to oral hypoglicemic drugs which have complex regiment and unappropriate consumption of them are the obstacles to reach good clinical outcomes. These problems are highly related to the quality of pharmaceutical care given to patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pharmaceutical information care towards the outcome of type 2 diabetes mellitus including 2 hours postprandial glucose, HDL and tryglicerides. This study used nonrandomized concurrent control trial prospectively. 14 subjects were recruited during 4 months from May–August 2013 and were divided into two groups. Both of group were given oral hypoglycemic drugs. The intervention group received pharmaceutical information care and diabetes education, whilecontrol group did not receive these. Data were then analysed with independent t test using α 0,005. Although the difference were not significant yet, pharmaceutical information care intervention on diabetes treatment gave higher improvement by 17,01%; 6,73%; and 6,31% respectively in 2 hours postprandial glucose, HDL and tryglicerides parameters, compared with the treatment without pharmaceutical care.Key words: Pharmaceutical information care, diabetes, oral hypoglicemic drugs

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is growing every year, including in Indonesia. Medicinal herbs were used empirically for lowering blood glucose. One of potential herb to have hypoglycemic activity is Stevia. Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni leaves contain stevoside, a natural, low-calorie sweetener that is 300 times sweeter than saccharose. In this study, we aimed to explore the hypoglycemic activity of S. rebaudiana Bertoni leaves extract in a rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: Male Wistar rats were feed high-fat, high-carbohydrate feed and sugar solution for 74 days to induce a diabetic rat model. The animals were then divided into five groups consisting of a negative control group treated with 2% Pulvis Gom Arabicum; a positive control group treated with Metformin 45 mg/kg body weight (BW); and three test groups treated with aqueous extract of S. rebaudiana Bertoni leaves at doses of 3.125, 6.25 and 12.5 mg/kg BW for 36 days. Blood glucose was measured on days 14, 28 and 36.RESULTS: The results showed that blood glucose levels over 36 days were significantly (p=0.043) lower in the group treated with S. rebaudiana Bertoni leaves extract. Further Newman-Keuls analysis suggested that the hypoglycemic activity of S. rebaudiana Bertoni leaves extract was dose-dependent. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that S. rebaudiana Bertoni leaves extract has a potential role as a hypoglycemic agent in the treatment of T2DM.KEYWORDS: Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, nutraceuticals, hypoglycemic, diabetic rats

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Millions of cells in multicellular organisms regenerate every day to replace aged and died cells. Effective cell clearance (efferocytosis) is critical for tissue homeostasis, as the human body recycles its cellular components. We summarize what is known about the mechanisms of efferocytosis and how it impacts the physiology of the organism, effects on inflammation and the adaptive immune response, as well as the consequences of defects in this critical homeostatic mechanism in this review.CONTENT: Cell death is the process by which the human body replaces aged or damaged cells with new ones. It can be triggered by genetically encoded machinery or regulated cell death, or by specific pharmacologic or genetic interventions, resulting in accidental cell death. Dying cells release signals that entice phagocytes to engulf them in a process known as efferocytosis. Efferocytosis is a multistep process involving the release of “find me” and “eat me” signals and destruction of death cells by phagocytes. Different types of cell death including apoptosis and necroptosis can express pro- or anti-inflammatory signals via macrophage activity modulation.SUMMARY: Failed or ineffective efferocytosis can result in disruption of tissue homeostasis, which can contribute to the development of chronic inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis, obesity, diabetes, and heart failure. Therefore, any therapeutic strategy that enhances efferocytosis will have a beneficial effect on the treatment of these metabolic disorders.KEYWORDS: apoptosis, necroptosis, phagocytosis, efferocytosis, macrophage.

Abstract

Pharmacists play a major role in educating patients regarding drug therapy, in order to achieve optimal health outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pharmaceutical counseling on quality of life (QoL) of hypertensive patients with renal impairment at one of public hospital in Bandung, Indonesia. This study used a prospective experimental design with pretest-posttest design for 2 months. Inclusion criteria in this study were hypertensive patients with renal impairment who received antihypertensive drugs, aged >18 years, and signed the informed consent. Exclusion criteria were patients who were not able to fill in the questionnaire, patients with end stage renal diseases, diabetes, and pregnant or lactating patients. Pharmaceutical counseling was given during 2 months of the therapy. Pharmaceutical counseling consisted of education on the appropriate use of drugs and disease management. Schedule of their own medication and leaflet containing educational information were given to the subjects. QoL was assessed using a previously validated Mini-Questionnaire of QoL in Arterial Hypertension (MINICHAL). The questionnaire consisted of 16 two dimensions questions, i.e., mental health and somatic manifestation. We found that the mean increase in mental health status (49.5±5.3) was higher than that of somatic dimension (32.7±3.6). Both dimensions had statistically significant improvement (P value <0.05). In conclusion, pharmaceutical counseling is beneficial to improve QoL of hypertension patients.Keywords: hypertension, renal impairment, quality of life

Abstract

Thalassemia major (TM) is an inherited disease caused by defective or absent of hemoglobin chain synthesis. Regular chelation therapy is necessary to reduce excess iron in several organs of TM patients. The most commonly used chelating agents are deferasirox and deferiprone. However, information regarding their effectiveness and side effects in Indonesian children population with TM were limited. This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness and side effects of deferasirox and deferiprone in pediatric patients with TM. This was an observational study with prospective analysis which was conducted during April-August 2015. We included pediatric patients with TM who visited a hospital in Bandung, Indonesia, using consecutive sampling method. Thirty two subjects were divided into two groups, i.e., deferasirox and deferiprone group. Review of medical records and interview were performed for each participants. Effectiveness was defined as reduction in ferritin level. Side effects were assessed using Naranjo scale. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney test, Wiloxon test and Chi square test. P value < 0.05 defined statistical significance. We found that deferasirox was more effective than deferiprone for the treatment of TM in pediatric patiens, with less side effects. The use of deferasirox as iron chelating agent is recommended for patients with TM.Keywords: deferasirox, deferiprone, ferritin, thalassemia major
