Abstract

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is widely used as herbal medicine, not an exception by pregnant women. Turmeric consumption by expectant mothers requires standard dose, because of its antiangiogenic effect could be harmful on placentation process and embryonic development. This experiment was undertaken to determine the effect of different concentrations of turmeric decoctum to the expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) and Angiopoietin 1 (Ang-1) on the 48-hours-old chicken embryo. In this study, turmeric was extracted using decoction method to mimic the common method as adopted by people. The turmeric decoctum were freeze dried into a powder form and was used in preparing the stock solution for 200 ppm (P1), 300 ppm (P2), and 400 ppm (P3) as experimental treatments. The control group (P0) received 2% DMSO without turmeric decoctum. These were administered on the yolk sack of 16 hours incubation of fertile chicken egg by number of 200 µL. After 48 hours incubation, the expression of VEGFR-2 and Ang-1 on the chicken embryo were counted by ImageJ software. The results revealed that there is no significant effect of turmeric decoctum to the expression of VEGFR-2 and Ang-1. This suggested that turmeric decoctum was safe up to 400 ppm on chicken embryo.

Abstract

Introduction: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is an infection of the vaginal mucosa that extends to the vulva due to excessive growth of Candida albicans, causing a progressive decrease of Lactobacillus spp., as the main of normal flora. Decrease in the number of Lactobacillus spp. causes a reduction of lactic acid production that it was causing increasing vaginal pH. The increase in pH is due to the progressive growth of C. albicans colonies in the vaginal mucosa. In addition, the mechanism of candidiasis is also influenced by the secretion of virulence factors by C. albicans. Secreted Aspartyl Protease-5 (SAP5) is the dominant virulence factor that plays a role in changing the morphology of yeast cells into hyphae. This study aims to identify the correlation between SAP5 levels and vaginal pH. Material and Methods: This research was conducted in vivo using a sample of Rattus norvegicus with a posttest randomized experimental group design approach. This study has two groups, i.e., Negative Control (NC) and Positive Control group (PC). SAP5 and pH samples were taken from vaginal fluids and then measured using ELISA and a digital pH meter. The statistical analysis used was Pearson Correlation to analyze the correlation between SAP5 and pH levels. Results: There was a strong correlation (R=0.846) that means the increase of SAP5 is related to the increase of vaginal acidity in the PC group. Conclusion: The increase in SAP5 levels is directly followed by an increase in the pH value of vaginal fluids,

Abstract

Preeklampsia merupakan komplikasi kehamilan yang ditandai dengan peningkatan tekanan darah >140/90 mmHg, proteinuria, dan edema, yang terjadi setelah 20 minggu kehamilan. Penyebab terjadinya preeklampsia tidak diketahui secara pasti, tetapi kemungkinan terkait dengan respons inflamasi sistemik. Monosit dan makrofag yang telah distimulasi oleh endotoksin akan menghasilkan interleukin-6 (IL-6) yang dapat  memicu respons inflamasi berlebih, dan mungkin memainkan peran sentral dalam respons inflamasi pada preeklampsia dan sepsis.  Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk membandingkan jumlah sel monosit, kadar IL-6, dan kadar macrophage migration inhibitory factors (MIF) pada preeklampsia dan preeklamsia dengan sepsis. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian cross-sectional. Sampel darah dikumpulkan dari partisipan di RSUD dr. Saiful Anwar Malang dan Bangil yang dikategorikan dalam kelompok normotensif, preeklampsia, dan preeklampsia dengan sepsis. Sel monosit dinilai pada hitung darah lengkap dengan metode flow cytometry. Kadar IL-6 dan kadar MIF dinilai menggunakan enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jumlah sel monosit, kadar IL-6, dan MIF pada kelompok preeklampsia dengan sepsis secara signifikan lebih tinggi dibanding kelompok kontrol (p < 0,001) dan preeklampsia (p < 0,001).  Didapatkan hubungan yang signifikan antara jumlah monosit dengan  kadar IL-6 (r = 0,781; p < 0,001), jumlah monosit dengan kadar MIF (r = 0,798; p < 0,001), dan kadar IL-6 dengan kadar MIF (r = 0,654; p = 0,003)  pada kelompok preeklampsia dengan sepsis. Pada kondisi preeklamsia dengan sepsis, peningkatan jumlah sel monosit dan MIF dapat memicu peningkatan kadar IL-6.

Abstract

Introduction: Cervical cancer is a type of cancer with 605,000 new cases globally each year, with a mortality rate of 340,000. Curcuma longa, or curcumin, has the potential to enhance apoptosis in cervical cancer cells through the NF-kB-p53-caspase-3 pathway. Material and Methods: This in vitro experimental study employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) using HeLa cell cultures derived from cervical adenocarcinoma (ATCC® CCL2™). Cells were grown in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) and treated with curcumin at concentrations of 25 µg/mL, 50 µg/mL, 100 µg/mL, 150 µg/mL, and 250 µg/mL. Cytotoxicity was assessed using the CCK-8 assay, apoptosis via flow cytometry, and p53 and caspase-3 expression using immunofluorescence. Statistical analysis was performed with IBM Statistics SPSS 25. Results: There was an increase in the percentage of apoptosis, p53 expression, and caspase-3 expression. At a dose of 100 µg/mL, total apoptosis increased significantly, reaching nearly 25% (p=0.000). P53 expression significantly increased at curcumin doses of 50 µg/mL and 100 µg/mL (p=0.021). There was a significant increase in caspase-3 expression, reaching approximately 86.2%, with a maximum effect at a dose of 100 µg/mL (p=0.002). Conclusion: Curcumin shows promising potential as an anticancer agent by reducing cell viability and enhancing apoptotic activity in HeLa cervical cancer cells.

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy disorder marked by the onset of hypertension after the 20th week, posing risks such as cardiovascular disease. Curcumin, a commonly consumed herbal medicine, has been investigated as a potential antihypertensive agent in mouse models of preeclampsia. This study took place in the Bioscience Laboratory of Universitas Brawijaya from March to August 2023, employing a true experimental design with various groups of mice receiving different treatments. Nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels were measured using calorimetry and ELISA. The rats were divided into five groups: positive control, negative control and P1, P2, and P3 as the treatment groups. Treatment grups received fifferent curcumin doses of 30mg/kgBW/day, 50mg/kgBW/day, and 100mg/kgBW/day for P1, P2, and P3, respectively. Data analysis using the One-Way ANOVA and Post Hoc LSD revealed that curcumin at 100mg/kgBW/day significantly increased the NO level of 47.75±22.6 and decreased the ET-1 level of 67.03±24.47 when compared to the positive control (p<0.05). However, the 30mg/kgBW/day and 50mg/kgBW/day doses did not significantly affect the NO and ET levels. In conclusion, curcumin supplementation shows positive effects on NO and ET-1 levels in L-NAME-induced preeclamptic Wistar rats, highlighting its potential as an effective intervention for managing this pregnancy-related disorder.

Abstract

Probiotics represent a promising alternative therapy for bacterial vaginosis; however, consensus on the most effective species, strains, and doses remains lacking, and long-term safety data are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of probiotics in managing bacterial vaginosis, considering species, strain, clinical outcomes, optimal dosage, duration, and side effects. This study included randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) published in English (2014–2024) on probiotic treatment for bacterial vaginosis, assessing species, strain, dose, duration, and efficacy. A systematic search was conducted on December 20, 2024, in Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed using the keywords "vaginosis," "bacterial vaginosis," and "probiotic." Data were extracted and synthesized, and study quality was assessed using the Risk of Bias 2 tool, while NVivo 14 software facilitated thematic analysis. The systematic search yielded 1,560 initial records, of which 16 RCTs were included. The findings revealed that Lactobacillus rhamnosus TOM 22.8 (10×10⁹ CFU/day for 10 days) was the most effective strain and dose, significantly improving Nugent scores, vaginal pH, and microbiota composition and reducing bacterial vaginosis recurrence rate. Alternative strains, including L. crispatus, L. plantarum, and L. acidophilus, showed therapeutic potential at doses of 1×10⁸ to 5.4×10⁹ CFU/day for treatment durations ranging from 6 days to 4 months. The reported side effects were mild and self-limiting. This study supports the use of probiotics as an adjunctive or alternative bacterial vaginosis treatment, emphasizing the need for a personalized approach based on patient characteristics. However, limitations such as small sample sizes and heterogeneous outcome measures necessitate further research. Larger, well-designed trials with standardized methodologies are required to refine probiotic recommendations.

Abstract

HIGHLIGHTS Increased oxidative stress results in increased iNOS in pre-eclampsia. COX-2 expression in the placenta of women suffering from preeclampsia increases and is associated with increased thromboxane production.   ABSTRACT Objective: Preeclampsia is one of the most frequently documented pregnancy complications, with a prevalence of approximately 2 to 15% of all pregnancies. Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal mortality. According to research in Indonesia, preeclampsia accounts for 66.8% of all cases of hypertension during pregnancy. This research aims to evaluate the impact of curcumin on serum levels of COX-2 and iNOS in a mouse model of preeclampsia. Materials and Methods: This study employed a true experimental design with a post-test-only controlled group approach using pregnant Rattus norvegicus as a preeclampsia model. Curcumin was administered orally via a feeding tube after dissolving powdered tablets. Dosages were 30 mg/day, 50 mg/day, or 100 mg/day, adjusted for the rats' weight. Serum COX-2 and iNOS levels were measured using ELISA kits from Bioassay Technology Laboratory, with concentrations reported in pg/ml. Analysis was performed using SPSS for Windows 19.0. Results: Serum COX-2 levels showed significant differences (p < 0.05) across groups. L-NAME treatment increased COX-2 levels compared to the negative control. Curcumin (50 and 100 mg/kgBW) reduced COX-2 levels significantly compared to the positive control, with no notable differences between curcumin doses. For iNOS levels, significant differences were also found (p < 0.05). Curcumin at 100 mg/kgBW significantly lowered iNOS levels compared to the positive control, with no significant differences between other treatment groups. Conclusion: Curcumin administration effectively reduces COX-2 and iNOS levels in the serum of Rattus norvegicus with a preeclampsia model.
