Abstract

Dental caries or tooth decay is a result of the production of acid from fermentation ofbacteria that destroy tooth tissue. It can be prevented by maintaining the stability of salivaryvolume and acidity. Chewing xylitol gum is beneficial for increasing salivary volume andacidity. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of chewing xylitol gum on salivary volumeand acidity. The study is a quasi experiment conducted to 30 males aged between 17-25 yearsold. Pre and post treatment’s salivary volume are measured with measuring cup. Pre and posttreatment’s salivary acidity are measured using a pHmeter with 0,1 accuracy. Data areanalyzed with paired “t” test (a = 0,05). Average salivary volume after chewing xylitol gumincreased very significantly from 0,26 mL to 13,37mL (p=0,000). Average salivary acidity afterchewing xylitol gum increased very significantyly from 6,47 to 7,36(p=0,000). The researchconcludes that chewing xylitol gum increases salivary volume and acidity.Keywords : dental caries, xylitol, salivary volume, salivary acidity

Abstract

The number of cancer patient is increasing, while a really effective therapy has not yet been discovered. One concept of carcinogenesis is the relation between chronic inflammation and cancer. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has a carcinogenic effect in inflamed and malignant tissues. Red Fruit contains carotenoid that can suppress COX-2 gene expression and tocopherol, which is a potent inhibitor of  COX-2.  The purpose of this study is to determine cytotoxic activity of Red Fruit oil and its effect on COX-2 gene expression. The experiment used 5 dosages of Red Fruit, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 µg/mL, exposed to Raji cells. However, unexposed Raji cells were used as control. Cytotoxic activities were evaluated by MTT Assay, while Lethal Concentration50 (LC50) was determined through regression-correlation analysis. Red Fruit oil effect on COX-2 gene expression was evaluated by Reversed Transcriptase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) method and electrophoresis. Electrophoresis bands were analyzed by Scion Image for Windows. Optical Integrated Density (OID) of unexposed and exposed groups were statistically analyzed with one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan test with α=0.05. The results showed that Red Fruit had a cytotoxic activity on Raji cells with LC50 of331.42 µg/mL. Red Fruit suppressed COX-2 gene expression with an effective dosage obtained at 500 µg/mL.          Keywords: red fruit, cytotoxicity, cox-2 gene expression, raji cells

Abstract

Ketahanan berolahraga menunjang latihan fisik yang optimal untuk meningkatkan derajat kesehatan dan kebugaran jasmani. Penurunan kapasitas ketahanan olahraga disebabkan oleh dehidrasi dan penurunan karbohidrat dalam otot selama melakukan latihan. Air kelapa berpotensi sebagai minuman olahraga karena memiliki derajat keasaman yang rendah, gula seimbang, kandungan mineral, dan bersifat isotonis. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui efek konsumsi air kelapa terhadap ketahanan dan kebugaran berolahraga diukur dari jarak tempuh dan VO2max  selama latihan lari. Penelitian dilakukan di Lapangan FPOK UPI Bandung periode Juli 2015–Februari 2016. Bahan penelitian yang digunakan adalah air kelapa dalam kemasan. Air mineral, air gula 5%, dan minuman olahraga isotonik yang digunakan sebagai pembanding. Subjek penelitian adalah 120 orang laki-laki, berusia 18–23 tahun yang dibagi menjadi 4 kelompok untuk tiap-tiap bahan uji. Setelah pemanasan, subjek berlari secepatnya selama 30 menit. Bahan uji diberikan sebelum dan setiap 10 menit selama lari. Jarak yang ditempuh dicatat dalam satuan meter. Analisis dengan one-way ANOVA yang dilanjutkan dengan uji least significant difference (LSD) dengan α<0,05. Jarak tempuh terpanjang rata-rata dan VO2max tertinggi didapatkan pada kelompok perlakuan air kelapa, diikuti kelompok air gula 5%, minuman olahraga isotonik, dan air mineral (p<0,01). Simpulan, konsumsi air kelapa sebelum dan selama latihan olahraga lari dapat meningkatkan ketahanan olahraga pada laki-laki dewasa bukan atlet.THE EFFECTS OF COCONUT WATER (COCOS NUCIFERA) CONSUMPTION TOWARDS ENDURANCE DURING RUNNING EXERCISE ON NON-ATHLETE ADULT MALEThe endurance in exercising supports optimal physical training to improve physical health and fitness. Two major factors in decreasing sport endurance are dehydration and loss of carbohydrates in muscle during exercise. Coconut water is a potential sports drink because it has low acidity, sugars, minerals content and is isotonic. This research aims to know the effects of coconut water consumption towards endurance and fitness measured from VO2max and mileage during running exercise. The study was conducted in FPOK UPI Bandung during July 2015 to February 2016. Research material used was coconut water, mineral water, 5% sugar water, and isotonic sports drink. The subjects were 120 men, aged 18–23 years old, divided into 4 groups for each of the test material. After warming up, the subjects ran quickly for 30 minutes. Test materials were given before and every 10 minutes during the run. Distance traveled was recorded in units of meters. Data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA test followed by the least significant difference (LSD) test with α<0.05. The longest distance and highest VO2max were obtained by the group treated with coconut water, followed by 5% sugar water, isotonic sports drinks, and mineral waters (p<0.01). In conclusion, coconut water consumption before and during exercise can improve sports endurance on non-athlete adult male.

Abstract

Introduction: In the field of medical education, the evaluation process of communication and clinical skills training is known as Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). OSCE can be assessed using the global rating method, which is a method of subjective evaluation by examiners and standardized patients of student performance. Objective: The study aims to examine the relationship between the subjectivity of examiners and standardized patients in OSCE scores using the global rating method. Methods: The study involved 985 students from the Faculty of Medicine at Maranatha Christian University who participated in the Local OSCE from December 2021 until January 2022. Secondary data were analyzed using logistic regression in SPSS software and presented in tables and multivariate analysis. Results: The global rating assessment by examiners showed a significant relationship with OSCE scores (p<0.001), while the global rating assessment by standardized patients did not show a significant relationship with OSCE scores (p>0.05). This indicates that the evaluation by examiners has a greater influence on OSCE results compared to the assessment by standardized patients. Recommendations: More comprehensive training is needed for standardized patients in conducting assessments using the global rating method to minimize bias. Furthermore, future research is recommended to explore other factors that may influence OSCE assessments to improve the validity and reliability of the evaluation.
