Abstract

Diazinon merupakan pestisida organofosfat yang paling umum digunakan untuk mengendalikan hama. Konsumsi produk pertanian yang mengandung residu diazinon mengakibatkan akumulasi diazinon dan metabolitnya pada hati dan menimbulkan stress oksidatif. Kulit bawang merah (Allium cepa L.) mengandung flavonoid kuersetin yang dapat mengikat radikal bebas, menginduksi aktivitas enzim yang berperan penting dalam perbaikan sel, dan meningkatan jumlah dan kapasitas antioksidan endogen. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui efek ekstrak ethanol kulit bawang merah (EKBM) dalam memperbaiki kerusakan hati tikus Wistar yang diinduksi diazinon. Tikus dibagi menjadi kelompok normal, diazinon, dan EKBM. Diazinon diberikan dengan dosis 40 mg/kgBB selama 7 hari dilanjutkan dengan EKBM dengan dosis 600, 900, dan 1200 mg/kgBB selama 7 hari. Pengamatan mikroskopik dilakukan terhadap 100 sel hati secara acak pada setiap preparat. Skor kerusakan sel hati ditentukan berdasarkan kriteria skor Manja Roenigk. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa diazinon meningkatkan skor kerusakan sel hati (p<0,05) dan EKBM dengan dosis 1200 mg/kgBB dapat menurunkan skor kerusakan sel hati sama dengan kelompok normal. Sebagai kesimpulan, EKBM dengan dosis 1200 mg/kg BB memperbaiki kerusakan hati tikus yang diinduksi diazinon yang ditunjukkan dengan penurunan skor kerusakan sel hati hingga tingkat normal.

Abstract

Several approaches have been designed to control malaria, a disease with high morbidity and mortality, but they face some hurdles. Antimalarial resistance is one of the major challenges for malaria elimination, so the detection of antimalarial resistance is essential. Several molecular markers for antimalarial resistance have been identified, including Plasmodium falciparum multidrug resistance 1 (pfmdr1) gene. This study determined the optimization of molecular techniques to identify the pfmdr1 gene as an antimalarial resistance predictor in Indonesia. The study included patients diagnosed with uncomplicated or severe malaria originating from the health district of Kerom Regency, Papua Province, and Dr. Soebandi Hospital, Jember, East Java Province. Blood samples were collected in the Whatmann filer paper after informed consent. DNA was isolated from dried blood filter paper, and nested PCR was performed using a specific primer, the pfmdr1-A and pfmdr1-B genes. The PCR cycle was optimized based on previous studies. The pfmdr1-A has a similar setting to the earlier study, but the pfmdr1-B had a different optimum setting from the previous study with the annealing temperature of 57oC for nested-1 and 62oC for nested-2. This PCR setting could be used for further examination. The positive results of the amplification indicated the potential for antimalarial resistance in the parasite population. A study on the gene copy number and polymorphism is essential to determine the definitive conclusion on antimalarial resistance.
