Abstract

As a common beverage, green tea is supposed to have beneficial health effect, such as antioxidant. At present, there are many green teas available in the market in Jakarta. Their quality, in their antioxidant activity, should be proved. This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant activity of extracts of green tea products commercially available in Jakarta. Four green tea samples from different factories (coded as A, B, C, and D) were selected and macerated using methanol. DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power ability and total antioxidant capacity were used to measure the antioxidant activity. The total phenolic content (TPC) was also determined. The studied green teas had varied TPC from 23.80  to  84.03 mG GAE/g extract, ranked as B > D > A > C. All samples exhibited various but strong antioxidant activity by DPPH assay, even better than standards ascorbic acid and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). However, all extracts showed similar activities in their reducing power ability and total antioxidant capacity, with activities less than standards. These findings confirm that the quality of the Indonesian commercial green teas were heterogeneous both in TPC or DPPH scavenging capacity. But, there is an indication that they are good as an antioxidant containing beverage.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is caused by abnormal insulin secretion, impairedinsulin action, or both. Approximately 12-25% of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) patients will develop diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Vascular endothelialgrowth factor (VEGF) is a group of platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF)which have a potential role in angiogenesis. Low levels of VEGF-A can causeinsufficient angiogenesis leading to wound healing inhibition. The 2578*C/Apolymorphism of VEGF-A gene has been reported as a candidate markerfor the DFU development. However, the variant role in the development ofDFU in Javanese ethnic needs to be clarified. This study was conducted tocompare VEGF-A levels and the -2578*C/A polymorphism of the VEGF geneamong diabetic patients with and without DFU in Javanese ethnic. In thiscase-control study, the T2DM individuals with DFU as case group (n=19) andwithout DFU as control group (n=41) were recruited. The VEGF-A levelsweredetermined by ELISA. The ARMS-PCR technique was applied to investigate thepresence of -2578*C/A polymorphism of the VEGF gene. Data were analyzedwith independent t, Mann-Whitney, Chi-square, and Kruskal-Wallis tests withsignificance level of p<0.05. The median of plasma VEGF-A level was significantlydifferent between case and control groups (p=0.001). The genotype frequencyof -2578*C/A polymorphism of VEGF gene was no difference between case andcontrol groups. However, individuals with C allele have a higher risk factor todevelop DFU than A allele (CC+CA vs AA;p=0.042; OR=2.5). The plasma VEGF-Alevels were lower in T2DM subjects with DFU than those without DFU. Inconclusion,individuals with C allele of -2578*C/A polymorphism of VEGF geneare more susceptible to have DFU than individuals with A allele in Javaneseethnic with T2DM.

Abstract

Bacteria are one of the component parts in every ecosystem. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a normal surface flora of the human body, as a temporary contaminant on inanimate objects such as clothing, cutlery and doorknobs, but also a oportunistic even pathogen on the host. The mutated strain of S. aureus has a cross-resistant strain against all antibiotics of the Beta Lactam, Methicillin, Oxacillin and Flucloxacillin groups, called Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This research is needed because MRSA is a strain of bacteria that can be everywhere, especially in public facilities, such as doorknobs, which can be a place of transmission (transfer) of bacteria from one host to another. The samples in this study were taken by swabbing from the door handle in building X, Jakarta. A total of 62 samples were then cultured on Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) media, the growing isolate was tested by Gram staining, catalase test, and mannitol. Isolate suspected of Staphylococcus aureus, ascertained whether MRSA strain using 30 μg antibiotic C efoxitin (fox) disc. The results of this study showed that 58 (87%) isolates were Staphylococcus aureus and sensitive to C efoxitin antibiotics, 8 (13%) isolates, mnitol test negative, sensitive to Ceroxitin antibiotics. The study concluded that the bacterial isolate found was Staphylococcus aureus sensitive methicillin (MSSA), no MRSA was found.

Abstract

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAP) requires good evaluation to reduce amputation rate. The aim of this study is to assess non-invasive detection methods in evaluating microvascular conditions in PAP. The potential use of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in identifying disorders in patients with PAP, either with or without DM, was also assessed. A systematic literature search was conducted through PUBMED until October 2023. Based on the literature review, it can be concluded that the use of NIRS in evaluating microvascular status in PAP is a non-invasive testing method that has expanded its role. Evaluation with NIRS provides metrics such as recovery time, deoxygenation, oxygen consumption (VO2), tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), total haemoglobin (HbT), and oxyhemoglobin area under the curve (O2 HbAUC). NIRS also has the potential to assist multidisciplinary teams in treating high-risk patients, especially in diabetic patients whose symptoms are compensated by peripheral neuropathy. This study shows that NIRS can be used as a useful tool in evaluating microvascular status in PAP, by providing important information that can be used to optimise patient care and prevent more serious complications. It is concluded that NIRS can be used as a tool to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and prevent worsening of the condition of patients with PAP in diabetic foot.

Abstract

Fibrosis lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute lung injury and post-Covid 19 fibrosis lung disease are considered as major health problems in the last decade. Cellular therapy with Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) offers a novel therapeutic approach for fibrosis lung disease associated with anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, regenerative, pro-angiogenic and anti-fibrotic properties. Such therapeutic effects may be attributed to the MSC-secretome, which is made of free soluble proteins and extracellular vesicles (EVs). This review summarises some recent literature findings related to the efficacy and safety of MSC-derived products in pre-clinical models of lung diseases, demonstrating the biologically active substances contained in the MSC-secretome and its mechanisms involved in tissue regeneration. A perspective view is given on the secretome being a high-quality, safe and effective medicinal product,

Abstract

Background: Jamu Beras Kencur (JBK) is recognized as an herbal medicine, containing two main components: the rhizome of Kaempferia galanga and rice. While previous research has identified bioactive compounds in galangal rhizomes, such as Ethyl p-Methoxycinnamate (EPMC), Ethyl-cinnamate, and Kaempferol, there are few reports on polar or aqueous compounds in JBK. LC-MS/MS and GC-MS enable comprehensive analysis of bioactive compounds, with LC-MS/MS detecting non-volatile, polar, and thermally sensitive compounds like flavonoids and glycosides, while GC-MS analyzes volatile and semi-volatile compounds, such as terpenoids, providing precise separation and identification. Therefore, this study were to know the amount and the growth of contaminant bacteria, yeast and mold; to determine the main bioactive compounds in JBK; and to determine the bioactive compound in aqueous and ethanolic extracts of rhizome that analysed with LC-MS/MS and GC-MS. Methode: JBK samples were sourced from local producers in West Jakarta, freshly prepared, and immediately analyzed for microbial contamination and bioactive compounds. Result: The analysis revealed microbial contamination in JBK, including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Coliform, yeast, and mold. Additionally, three novel flavonoid glycosides were identified: Chrysoeriol-4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, Patuletin-7-O-[6′′-(2-methylbutyryl)]-glucoside, and Acacetin-7-galactoside. Conclusion: Therefore, from the pharmacological perspective, JBK has the potentials as a healthy herbal drink. However, further preclinical and clinical studies are essential to validate its safety and efficacy for clinical use, which could pave the way for its integration into mainstream healthcare as a natural therapeutic option.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic foot disease requires serious management due to the risk of amputation. Microvascular abnormalities increase the risk of amputation by impairing blood flow, slowing wound healing, and increasing the risk of infection. Methods: Systematic review of the clinical potential of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for identification of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) concomitant with diabetic (DM) microangiopathy. Systematic literature search through PubMed BMC Central published in 2018-April 2024. Discussion: NIRS can provide clues such as prediction of recovery time, deoxygenation of peripheral blood, oxygen consumption (VO2), tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), total hemoglobin (HbT), and oxyhemoglobin area under the curve (O2 HbAUC). NIRS has the potential to help predict wound healing especially in diabetic patients with symptoms masked by peripheral neuropathy. Conclusion: NIRS can assess the effectiveness of treatment and prevent worsening PAD in diabetic foot.
