Abstract

Infectious diseases are a disease caused by bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. One way to overcome the disease by using antibiotics. However, wise use can lead to antibiotic resistance, so many bacteria are resistant to antibiotics. Therefore it is necessary to search the natural compounds as antibacterials, one of them by using lemongrass (Cymbopogon nardus). This study aims to determine the effectiveness of leaf extracts, stems, and roots lemongrass as antibacterial. The method used in this research is the disc method. Bacteria used are E. coli and S. aureus. The results show extracts of roots, stems, and leaf has activity against S. aureus, while E. coli shows no activity as antibacterial, it can be possible because of the different properties of the bacteria. Keywords: anti-bacteria, lemongrass, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Data epidemiologis menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar populasi harus divaksinasi untuk mencapai kekebalan komunitas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui karakteristik dan kesediaan masyarakat Indonesia menerima vaksinasi COVID-19. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi cross-sectional pada Warga Negara Indonesia (WNI) usia 18-60 tahun. Sampel diambil dengan metode convenience sampling. Data dalam penelitian ini dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner anonim yang didistribusikan secara online dari tanggal 3 hingga 12 Maret 2021. Hasil: Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan dari total sample sebanyak 483 orang, mayoritas responden berjenis kelamin perempuan (71,9%), berusia 18-25 tahun (57%), tamat S1 (52%), tenaga kesahatan (59,3%), belum menikah (66,2%), berdomisili di jawa (82,7%), dan telah vaksinasi covid tahap 1 (83,5%). Hasil uji Chi-square menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara jenis kelamin (p = 0,015), domisili (p = 0,000), Tingkat Pendidikan (p = 0,000), pekerjaan (p = 0,000), kepemilikan asuransi (p = 0,000), riwayat vaksinasi sebelumnya (p = 0,004) dan kesediaan vaksinasi COVID-19. Sedangkan usia dan riwayat penyakit penyerta (comorbid) tidak berhubungan dengan kesediaan vaksinasi COVID-19. Kesimpulan: Adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara jenis kelamin, domisili, tenaga kesehatan, kepemilikan asuransi kesehatan, dan riwayat vaksin sebelumnya dengan kesediaan menerima vaksin COVID-19 (p <0.05) di Indonesia.

Abstract

Breast cancer is a sickness caused by abnormal cell growth in the breast. Mahkota Dewa fruit or god’s crown fruit products (Phaleria macrocarpa) contain flavonoids, alkaloids, polyphenols, and tannins associated with active compounds. This work directs to influence the potency of P. macrocarpa fruit as an antiproliferative agent against breast cancer cells (MCF-7 cells). The antiproliferative potency of P. macrocarpa fruit was proved by extracting and fractionating P. macrocarpa fruit using maceration. The cytotoxicity of extracts and fractions was determined using Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT). The antiproliferative potency against MCF-7 cells was tested using the hemacytometer approach. This work demonstrates the crude ethanol extract, n-hexane fraction, ethyl acetate fraction, and water fraction. The LC50 values in crude ethanol extract, n-hexane fraction, ethyl acetate fraction, and water fraction were 13.72 ppm, 147.55 ppm, 405.81 ppm, and 149. 07 ppm severally. Phaleria macrocarpa fruit has shown antiproliferation potency against MCF-7 cells. The maximum part of crude ethanol extract antiproliferative potency (56 ppm) effectively suppressed MCF-7 cell growth by 70. 9% while doxorubicin (100 ppm) by 46. 92%. This work confirms that crude ethanol extract of P. macrocarpa fruit interacts synergistically as an antiproliferative compound against MCF-7 cells.
