Abstract

ABSTRACT The endometrium is a highly vascularized tissue composed of numerous blood vessels, with cells that are formed and destroyed during each menstrual cycle. Menstrual blood, which is shed cyclically from the endometrium in women of reproductive age, contains endometrial tissue or cells. Both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are the primary nucleic acids present in cells with nuclei. In this study, 20 samples of menstrual blood and endometrial tissue were collected from women of reproductive age. Menstrual blood was gathered using specially designed filter paper, and DNA was extracted using the QIAamp DNA Mini Kit (Qiagen, Cat No.: 51304). Endometrial tissue was obtained via biopsy, and DNA was extracted using the Geneaid DNA Isolation Kit (Geneaid, New Taipei, Taiwan). DNA purity and concentration were measured using a Thermo Scientific Nano-Drop microvolume Spectrophotometer. The results indicated an average DNA purity of 1.88 ± 0.09 and a mean concentration of 116.9 ng/µL for menstrual blood, while endometrial tissue had a median DNA purity of 1.92 and a concentration of 192 ng/µL. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in DNA purity between menstrual blood and endometrial tissue (p = 0.083), but a significant difference in DNA concentration was observed (p = 0.002). Although there was a slight difference in DNA concentration, both menstrual blood and endometrial tissue samples were equally effective in preserving optimal purity and concentration of DNA molecules.

Abstract

Anemia during the second trimester of pregnancy poses significant health risks to both the mother and the fetus. Food-based strategies combined with iron supplementation may improve hemoglobin response in this critical period. This study aimed to analyze the effect of combining Fe tablets and Ambon banana consumption on hemoglobin levels among second-trimester pregnant women with anemia compared to Fe supplementation alone. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was employed. A total of 54 anemic pregnant women in their second trimester from three public health centers in Pondok Kelapa District, Central Bengkulu, were evenly divided into two groups of 27 participants each. The intervention group received one Fe tablet daily and one Ambon banana twice daily for 30 days, while the control group received one Fe tablet daily. Hemoglobin levels were measured before and after intervention using an Easy Touch GCHb Hemoglobin Meter. Both groups showed increased hemoglobin after the intervention. The post-intervention mean hemoglobin level was 11.952 ± 0.6941 g/dL and 11.093 ± 0.6108 g/dL in the intervention and control groups, respectively, with a between-group difference of 0.8593 g/dL (p < 0.001). Confidence intervals could not be reported because summary data lacked the standard error or standard deviation of the change score. Fe tablets combined with Ambon banana consumption were associated with a greater hemoglobin increase than Fe tablets alone among anemic second-trimester pregnant women.
