Abstract

Cinnamon extract's effectiveness as a renoprotective has not been previously investigated due to its widespread use in daily life, either as a cooking ingredient or as a herb. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness extract of cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmannii) as a renoprotective in lowering urea levels in the kidneys. An in vivo experimental study with a pre-post test and control group design was conducted at the Faculty of Medicine's Animal House and Biotechnology Laboratories. Male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) were used as the research subjects. Thirty rat were divided into five groups: negative control, positive control, cinnamon extract at 50 mg/kgBW, 100 mg/kgBW, and 200 mg/kgBW. The data were processed using SPSS 22.0. Cinnamon extract doses of 100 mg/kgBW and 200 mg/kgBW were the most effective in reducing urea levels and suspending the progression of the renal fibrosis process in Wistar male white rats with unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model.

Abstract

Kersen (Muntingia calabura), a tropical plant originating from Latin America, is a wild plant that has many benefits. Kersen contains flavonoid compounds, tannins, triterpenes, saponins, alkaloids that are useful as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-uric acid. Hyperuricemia is a metabolic disease characterized by high levels of uric acid in the blood which precipitates uric acid crystals in the kidneys and joints. Most patients with hyperuricemia do not require medical therapy, but lifestyle modifications can be made such as regular eating, adequate exercise, and avoiding foods and drinks high in protein and purines. This study aims to investigate the benefits of Kersen Leaf as an anti-uric acid. The method used in this study is a literature study based on library sources excavated through national and international sites such as Google, Google Scholar, and PubMed.

Abstract

Neuroplasticity pertains to the brain's ability to adjust functions or structure in response to events and is an important factor for skill-learning development as well as functional recovery from a neurological disorder. Numerous factors could influence neuroplasticity processes. This literature review aims to discuss the roles of genetic factors in neuroplasticity. The literature search was conducted using the keywords “neuroplasticity”, genetics”, “genes”, and polymorphism” in search engines like google scholar and PubMed, covering original articles, reviews, and text book both in Bahasa Indonesia and English for the last ten years. Genetic variation including gene polymorphism was responsible for the impact of BDNF, ApoE, and dopamine on the functional neural repair of the brain. Certain processes might directly influence neuroplasticity; others might interfere indirectly through the process. A deeper insight into genetic influence regarding neuroplasticity could lead to a better understanding and potential improvement of treatment.

Abstract

Intellectual disability (ID) brings challenges to the affected individuals, their families, and the community at large. It is a multifactorial condition with many contributing factors, namely genetics. This review aims to briefly provide several related genetic conditions for ID in the Indonesian population. Literature studies search relevant articles using PubMed and Google Scholar using the terms ‘intellectual disability’, ‘genetics', ‘Indonesian population’. In Indonesia, the prevalence of children with ID is 1–3%, with 62,011 school-aged children affected with Intellectual Disability. Genetics plays a role in around 25–50% of cases. ID in the Indonesian population is associated with several genetic disorders, namely Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), fragile X syndrome (FXS), Down syndrome (DS), Apert syndrome, and subtelomeric chromosomal rearrangements. There is limited research on genetics related to intellectual disability in Indonesia, implying further research is needed.

Abstract

Due to the continued presence of and impact of COVID-19 on our modern world, the benefit and necessity of alternative treatment options and effective antiviral compounds is readily apparent. This study seeks to explore the utility of chlorogenic acid as a COVID-19 antiviral. The in-silico experimental study was conducted using a laptop and publicly-available freeware. Key compounds used in this study are the comparative drugs favipiravir (CID 492405), oseltamivir (CID 65028), nafamostat (CID 4413), and spironolactone (CID 5833), to be tested against our subject, chlorogenic acid (CID 1794427). Compunds used in this study were docked with specific target proteins, such as ACE2, TMPRSS2, RdRp, dan 3Clpro, using AutoDock Vina. The visualization of molecular interactions was performed with Discovery Studio v21. Our results showed that chlorogenic acid has one Lipinski’s Rule of Five violation in H-bond Donor parameter. Chlorogenic acid had a higher affinity towards ACE2 and 3CLpro and lower affinity towards TMPRSS2 and RdRp, if compared to competing drugs, with a binding energy of -7.8, -6.9, -7.0, and -7.4 kcal/mol respectively, for ACE2, TMPRSS2, RdRp, and 3CLpro. We conclude that chlorogenic acid shows promise as oral drug candidate based on these results, and that further studies into the realm of molecular dynamics, in-vitro, or in-vivo studies are warranted in order to explore this underutalized compound and possibly bring it to human trials.

Abstract

An increase in the blood level of uric acid, or hyperuricemia, is a disorder that can cause damage to the kidneys and gout among other health problems. Worldwide, the incidence of hyperuricemia has been rising, in part because of dietary factors such the use of HFCS, a prevalent sweetener found in processed foods. Thus, research into natural substances with anti-inflammatory and anti-hyperuricemia attributes, such as chrysin, is critical to the fields of therapeutic and preventive medicine. This study investigates the anti-inflammatory and anti-hyperuricemic effects of chrysin in a rat model of hyperuricemia induced by high-fructose corn syrup. The research reveals that chrysin exerts its therapeutic effects through antioxidant activity and the inhibition of inflammatory signaling pathways, resulting in a decrease in oxidative stress and the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. Treatment with chrysin leads to a significant increase in tissue weight, tissue index, and kidney histology, indicating its potential in mitigating kidney damage associated with hyperuricemia. The study demonstrates a dose-dependent reduction in IL-1β levels and inflammation activation with chrysin treatment, surpassing the anti-inflammatory effects of the comparison group. Furthermore, chrysin treatment reduces malondialdehyde concentration and mitigates the activation of inflammasome-related protein induced by high-fructose corn syrup. These findings highlight the promising therapeutic potential of chrysin in managing hyperuricemia and related metabolic disorders.

Abstract

Indonesian Health Survey reported that more than half of the population in South Sumatera utilizes herbal medicine to alleviate disease symptoms. The survey also indicated that factors such as lower-middle income levels and the female gender are relatively more likely to utilize medicinal plants compared to higher-income levels and the male gender. The findings from this health survey strongly support the characteristics of the target audience for this community service, specifically the residents of Karya Baru Village represented by the women in Majelis Taklim Al-Kahfi. Initial interviews with several members of this group revealed a tendency to self-treat sick family members, particularly using herbal remedies, as they are perceived to have no side effects compared to modern medications (synthetic drugs). These findings indicate a potential irrational use of herbal medicine in self-medication practices. Self-medication refers to the efforts made by individuals to determine treatments for their disease symptoms. For self-medication practices to be safe and effective, it is essential for the community to be equipped with adequate knowledge about the rational use of herbal medicines. Therefore, a community service initiative is necessary to enhance public knowledge regarding the types of herbal medicines and promote rational behaviors on self-medication practice of herbal medicines within the community.

Abstract

Down Syndrome is one of the most commonly found genetic conditions, a chromosomal abnormality that is. It is caused by an extra chromosome 21 in their body. The extra chromosome itself can be a total chromosome 21, or just part of it. Whatever the form is, it leads to distinct physical features along with associated medical conditions. One of the symptoms of people with Down Syndrome is the cognitive problem where all of them would have various levels of intelligence, making the learning and comprehension process challenging. For Muslims all around the world, Ramadhan is the one special month of the year where everyone would fast. Learning about Ramadhan and conducting fasting during Ramadhan could be challenging for children with Down Syndrome. There is no known absolute contraindication for them to fast, but several comorbidities related to the condition might hinder them from doing fasting.

Abstract

Oxidative stress is an imbalance in the quantity of reactive species and antioxidant activity that is often associated with inflammatory diseases. Inflammation is the main cause of morbidity in most of the world's population. Inflammation occurs when there is an invasion of foreign bodies and pathogenic agents such as bacteria, parasites, and viruses that cause activation of the immune system. The protective effect of the inflammatory process is actually very good under normal circumstances. However, in chronic inflammation, tissue damage becomes uncontrollable and can lead to various diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis and neoplastic transformation. For inflammatory therapy, steroids and non-steroidal drugs (NSAIDs) are usually used, but the use of these drugs can have serious long-term effects. Therefore, the development of anti-inflammatory agents from natural sources such as certain plant species that are safe, efficacious, biocompatible and cost-effective is a rational strategy that can be used to treat inflammatory diseases. One of its species, Guazuma ulmifolia or Dutch teak plant, is widely used in traditional medicine because it contains bioactive compounds, especially proanthocyanidins and flavonoids which have anti-oxidant and anti- microbial properties. The leaves and flowers of Guazuma ulmifolia can be used in fever, gastrointestinal disease, kidney disease and diabetes. Guazuma ulmifolia can protect the gastric mucosa against the harmful effects of NSAIDs through anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant mechanisms. The extract of Dutch teak leaves (Guazuma ulmifolia) was also effective in reducing the expression of myeloperoxidase in the pulmonary tissue of Wistar white rats with pulmonary contusions .
