Abstract

Healthcare facilities have the potential to be reservoirs for various pathogenic microorganisms that can cause nosocomial infections. The presence of microorganisms on the surfaces of medical devices, treatment rooms, and ambient air can increase the risk of disease transmission to patients and healthcare workers. This study aims to identify and characterize pathogenic microorganisms found in healthcare environments. The study used a descriptive laboratory design with an observational approach. Samples were taken from treatment table surfaces, door handles, medical devices, and room air using swab and air sedimentation methods. Identification was carried out through culture examination, Gram staining, and biochemical tests. The results showed the presence of pathogenic bacterial isolates such as Staphylococcus aureus. aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Some isolates showed resistance to certain antibiotics. It was concluded that healthcare environments have the potential to be a source of infection transmission, necessitating strict infection monitoring and control.

Abstract

Excessive consumption of sopi in the long term can cause various chronic diseases such as kidney failure. This study aims to determine the potential of African leaf ethanol extract in repairing sopi-induced kidney damage in white rats. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments. The sample was 18 mice. Groups of mice K (-), K (+), P1, P2 and P3 were induced with 1.28 ml of sopi/animal. K (+) mice were given Furosemide as a comparison. Groups P1, P2 and P3 were given ethanol extract of African leaves at doses of 1.28, 2.56 and 5.12 ml/head/day respectively. The results obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) then followed by the Tukey HSD post hoc test. The results of the study showed that there was an effect of reducing creatinine levels and improving kidney damage in white mice due to administration of African leaf ethanol extract, where the effective dose was 2.56ml/head/day. So it can be concluded that the ethanol extract of African leaves at a dose of 2.56 ml/head/day has the potential to reduce creatinine levels and repair sopi-induced kidney damage in white rats, the results of which are also the same as those shown by the drug Furosemide. However, giving higher doses will be toxic to the body.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Endophytic bacteria are microorganisms that live within plant tissues without causing damage to their host plants. These bacteria are known to produce various secondary metabolites that have potential as antibacterial agents. Herbal plants, as a source of bioactive compounds, also have the potential to serve as habitats for endophytic bacteria that produce antimicrobial compounds. This study aims to characterize endophytic bacteria from herbal plants and evaluate their antibacterial activity against human pathogenic microorganisms. The study used the method of isolating endophytic bacteria from herbal plant tissues, followed by antibacterial activity testing using the disc diffusion method against pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The results showed that several endophytic bacterial isolates were able to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria with inhibition zones ranging from 10–18 mm. This indicates that endophytic bacteria from herbal plants have potential as a source of natural antibacterial compounds. Keywords: Endophytic Bacteria, Herbal Plants, Antibacterial, Pathogenic Microorganisms ABSTRAK Bakteri endofit merupakan mikroorganisme yang hidup di dalam jaringan tanaman tanpa menyebabkan kerusakan pada tanaman inangnya.

Abstract

Hypertension remains a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, contributing to an increased risk of coronary heart disease, kidney failure, and stroke. Conventional hypertension treatment using synthetic drugs is effective in lowering blood pressure, but often causes side effects such as dizziness, dry cough, hypokalemia, and metabolic disorders that can reduce patient compliance with therapy. Therefore, people are starting to turn to complementary and alternative treatments based on herbal plants. This study aims to review the effectiveness and safety of using herbal medicines as an alternative therapy for hypertension based on the latest scientific evidence. The research method used is systematic review. literature review of 35 scientific articles from the database PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Garuda Dikti during the period 2015–2024. The results of the study showed that plants such as garlic (Allium sativum), celery (Apium graveolens), soursop leaves (Annona muricata), and pegagan (Centella asiatica) has the effect of lowering blood pressure through the mechanism of vasodilation, increasing the production of nitric oxide oxide , diuretic effects, and antioxidant activity. Although most studies show positive results, most of the trials are still preclinical and require confirmation through large-scale clinical trials. In conclusion, herbal medicines have the potential to be used as complementary therapies for hypertension with minimal side effects. However, their use must be monitored by medical personnel to avoid interactions with synthetic antihypertensive drugs.

Abstract

Local food has great potential as a source of functional food that plays a role in improving health quality and supporting regional food security. However, students' understanding of healthy food and the use of local food is still limited. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of students at SMP Negeri 5 Ambon regarding the optimization of local food as functional food, as well as encourage the formation of positive attitudes towards local food consumption. The methods used included educational and participatory socialization, and evaluation. The results of the activity showed that before the socialization, only about 30% of students were able to explain the concept of healthy food in general and less than 25% knew the function of local food as functional food. After the activity, students' understanding increased, as indicated by approximately 80% of students being able to explain the concept of functional food simply and 75% being able to identify examples of local food that have health benefits. In addition, approximately 70% of students were actively involved in discussions related to daily food consumption habits. This activity is expected to raise students' awareness to utilize local food as a healthy and nutritious alternative.
