Abstract

Stunting is a growth failure due to malnutrition in the first thousand days of a child's life, affecting growth and development during adulthood. The prevalence of stunting in the Bondowoso Regency reached the national prevalence, about 38%. One of the causes is inadequate nutrition of the mother during pregnancy. Malnutrition in pregnant women induces anemia, especially iron deficiency. This condition affects infant growth and development. The public health center regularly gives pregnant women iron tablets to prevent it. However, not all pregnant women are aware of the advantage of good nutrition and iron tablets. This study aimed to examine changes in aspects of health, knowledge, and behavior in anemia pregnant women after specific nutrition interventions, education, and mentoring. This study was qualitative with a case study design, which used in-depth interviews and direct observation toward respondents and assistance to three anemia pregnant women in Cindogo Village, Bondowoso Regency. The data collected were primary and secondary about respondents’ health status, knowledge of nutrition, and behavior of living style. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The result showed that before education, the respondents were not aware of their nutrition. However, after intervention and mentoring, they know about the advantages of nutrition and iron tablets and are also aware of their health and infants. Briefly, the respondent’s awareness about prenatal stunting, nutrition, and health during pregnancy changed. This alteration was expected to be able to prevent prenatal stunting in Cindogo Village, Bondowoso Regency. Keywords: knowledge; behavior; health; pregnant women; prenatal stunting

Abstract

Periodontitis is a disease of periodontal tissue, one of which is caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.gingivalis). P.gingivalis causes alveolar bone destruction by triggering macrophages and PMNs to release proinflammatory cytokines. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts play a role in alveolar bone remodeling. Decreased osteoblasts and increased osteoclasts resulted in the inhibited remodeling process. Periodontitis can be slowed down with cassava leaves. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of cassava leaves on the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in a rat model of periodontitis. This research is an experimental laboratory with a post-test-only control group design. The samples were male Wistar rats which were divided into (1) control (K) and (2) treatment induced by P.gingivalis. the treatment group was divided into aquadest (P1), metronidazole (P2), and cassava leaves (P3). Euthanasia was performed for the preparation of histopathological preparations with Hematoxylin Eosin (HE) staining. Observations with a microscope magnification 400x. The results of the calculation of the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts between groups of cassava leaves and metronidazole were almost the same, so it was said that cassava leaves were effective in increasing the number of osteoblasts and reducing the number of osteoclasts in a rat model of periodontitis.Keywords: osteoblasts; osteoclast;  periodontitis; metronidazole; cassava leaves
