Abstract

Hyperuricemia is a condition of increased uric acid levels in the blood that can trigger gout and other metabolic disorders. Conventional therapies such as allopurinol are effective, but have side effects, so safer natural alternatives are needed. Arcangelisia flava, a traditional medicinal plant, is known to contain bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential. This study aims to evaluate the anti-hyperuricemic effect of ethanol extract of A. flava stems in vivo in potassium oxonate-induced rats. Rats were divided into control groups, hyperuricemia models, and treatments with extract doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg BW. Uric acid levels were measured enzymatically before and after treatment. The results showed that A. flava extract significantly reduced uric acid levels (p=0.000), especially at a dose of 400 mg/kg BW which reduced uric acid levels by 74.17%. These findings support the potential of A. flava as a natural anti-hyperuricemic agent.

Abstract

Background Around 15.5 million (34.9%) adolescents in Indonesia experience stress. Most of the stress in adolescents comes from internal and external academic demands. One of the negative impacts of stress is the disruption of hormonal mechanisms in the female reproductive system, which can affect the menstrual cycle. Objective To analyze the relationship between stress level and menstrual cycle in adolescent girls aged 15 - 17 years who have menses  ≥ 2 years. Methods This study used primary data from instruments such as the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS 42) questionnaire modified by Damanik and the menstrual cycle questionnaire by Aldiba filled on Google forms by 1,565 adolescents from four high schools in Palembang City. We also excluded adolescents with conditions that could potentially bias the study, such as endocrine diseases (pituitary tumors and Cushing's syndrome), athletes with intensive physical activity, use of hormonal drugs, and abnormalities in nutritional status. Results A total of 281 of 961 respondents who met the inclusion criteria were randomly selected through a stratified proportional random sampling method. Of those who reported experiencing stress, 27% experienced moderate stress. The majority of subjects experienced menstrual cycle disorders (55.5%). Adolescents with moderate stress level and above had a greater percentage of menstrual cycle disorders compared to adolescents who did not experience stress (P=0.039). Severe levels of stress were significantly associated with menstrual cycle irregularities (P=0.025) Conclusion Stress levels are significantly associated with menstrual cycle irregularities among high school adolescents in Palembang City.

Abstract

Salah satu komponen makronutrien ASI ialah protein yang sangat bermanfaat dalam pertumbuhan dan perkembangan bayi. Faktor ibu, bayi, dan fisiologis memengaruhi kadar protein dalam ASI. Salah satu faktor ibu, yaitu indeks massa tubuh (IMT). Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh IMT terhadap kadar protein pada ASI perah. Desain penelitian ini adalah analitik observasional dengan pendekatan cross sectional yang dilakukan di Laboratorium Kimia Dasar Kedokteran, Fakultas Kedokteran, Universitas Sriwijaya. Penelitian ini menggunakan 63 sampel ASI perah dari ibu menyusui di kota Palembang berusia 20-35 tahun dengan bayi berusia 1-6 bulan. Sampel ASI perah berjumlah 63 tersebut terbagi menjadi 2 kategori, yaitu 30 sampel ASI ibu dengan IMT normal dan 33 sampel ASI ibu dengan IMT gemuk dan obesitas. Pengukuran protein menggunakan metode Lowry dan data dianalisis dengan uji Mann-Whitney. Rata-rata kadar protein ASI perah pada ibu dengan IMT normal yaitu 6,35±5,78 mg/mL dan rata-rata kadar protein ASI perah pada ibu dengan IMT gemuk dan obesitas yaitu 8,64±3,70 mg/mL. Uji Mann-Whitney menunjukkan nilai p=0,03 (p< 0,05). Pada ibu dengan IMT gemuk dan obesitas, peningkatan porsi dan frekuensi makan, meningkatkan asupan asam amino sehingga meningkatkan kadar protein dalam ASI perah. Kesimpulannya, IMT ibu berpengaruh terhadap kadar protein pada ASI perah.
