<![CDATA[Until now, there is still no specific treatment that has proven effective for COVID-19, so prevention of the disease is the best way to break the chain of its transmission. This prevention effort requires participation from the entire community. However, it is not easy for people to participate due to a lack of understanding about the disease and awareness of clean-living behavior to prevent infection. Yayasan Rumah Ibu Indonesia (Rumaisa) is a foundation that focuses on increasing family resilience. One of the targets for clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) is household/family; therefore, PHBS education and training in homes during the pandemic, especially for mothers, is a strategic way to mobilize and empower family members to practice clean and healthy behavior. This study aims to determine the effect of education and training of PHBS within families during the pandemic on mothers’’ knowledge in Yayasan Rumaisa. Participants’ level of knowledge is measured using a questionnaire given before and after the education and training, in the form of pre-test and post-test. From the results, it can be seen that the post-test scores were increased compared to the pre-test scores. An increase in participants’ knowledge of PHBS within families during the pandemic is expected to increase community participation in preventing disease transmission, especially COVID-19.]]>

<![CDATA[The outbreak of the Covid-19 virus pandemic forced the government to enforce rules for studying from home. Although many online learning facilities is available, the access requires adequate internet connection and supporting devices. This limited internet connection is a problem often faced by the students. The Internet connection can be made using a data package from a smartphone; however, lack of knowledge in using the features in a smartphone causes difficulties to share access and the solution taken is each smartphone is subscribed to an individual data packet. The lack of knowledge on sharing internet access using smartphones is the issue faced by teachers and parents at TPA Ziyaadatul Hasanah, Duren Sawit, East Jakarta. There is an alternative solution to overcome the problem by using Tethering and Hotspot technology to share the internet access using a single data package. Its application requires correct procedures so that the internet connection can be shared properly. This community service activity provided knowledge and skills training in using internet connection sharing methods using tethering and hotspot technology and how to solve problems that arise for teachers and parents of students at TPA Ziyaadatul Hasanah with the target to increase their knowledge and skills in sharing the internet access using smartphones. Based on the survey, the knowledge of participants increased after the training, with an average increase of 17.6% before training to 41.2% for participants with good scores. In addition, they can also solve problems that arise when implementing the method given in the trainingABSTRAK:Terjadinya pandemi virus Covid-19 memaksa pemerintah untuk memberlakukan aturan belajar dari rumah. Meskipun fasilitas belajar daring (online) begitu banyak tetapi aksesnya memerlukan fasilitas koneksi internet yang cukup dengan perangkat yang memadai. Keterbatasan koneksi internet tersebut menjadi permasalahan yang sering dihadapi oleh para murid sekolah. Koneksi internet dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan paket data dari telepon pintar akan tetapi keterbatasan pengetahuan dalam penggunaan fitur dari telepon pintar menyebabkan kesulitan untuk dapat berbagi akses dan solusi yang diambil biasanya adalah masing-masing telepon pintar menggunakan paket data individual.

<![CDATA[Background: Soursop (Annona muricata) leaves have been researched extensively and found to have anticancer properties. The use of soursop as an anticancer treatment is increasingly popular due to its selective cytotoxic activity by acetogenins. The polarity of the extract solvent contributes to the biological activity of the plant, namely cytotoxicity. Purpose: To determine the cytotoxicity of A. muricata leaf extract with ethanol, ethyl acetate and hexane fractions against human oral squamous carcinoma (HSC-3) cell lines. Methods: This experimental laboratory study consisted of twenty four treatment groups tested against the HSC-3 cell line. The ethanol, ethyl acetate and hexane fractions of A. muricata leaves were administered to seven different concentrations, namely 0.3 μg/mL, 3 μg/mL, 25 μg/mL, 50 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL, 150 μg/mL and 300 μg/mL. The control group consisted of three groups: negative control, solvent control and positive control. The percentage of cell viability was calculated by absorbent enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader. The cytotoxicity of A. muricata leaf extract against HSC-3 cells was determined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and expressed by IC50 value. The results were analysed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD). Results: The results show that the leaf extracts of A. muricata are moderately cytotoxic to HSC-3 cells. The highest cytotoxic activity was found in the ethyl acetate extract with an IC50 value of 76.66 μg/mL – making it the best solvent – then hexane (IC50: 84.14 μg), then ethanol (IC50: 101.32 μg/mL). Statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD is considered significant p < 0.001. Conclusion: Ethanol, ethyl acetate and hexane fractions of A. muricata leaf extract are moderately cytotoxic, with IC50 values in the range of 21–200 μg/mL.]]>

<![CDATA[BACKGROUND: Malaria remains a global health concern and an endemic disease in Indonesia. Sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata) and spirulina (Spirulina platensis) are two potential antimalarial agents which act as antioxidants and antiinflammatories that can suppress morbidities during chronic inflammation in malaria, such as proliferation in the colon. This study aims to investigate the effects of A. paniculata extract and S. platensis administration on Ki-67 expression in medial colon epithelial cells of Plasmodium berghei-infected mice measured by H-score.METHODS: Thirty P. berghei-infected male Swiss-Webster mice were divided into five groups: negative controls (carboxymethyl cellulose/CMC); positive controls (dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine/DHP); A. paniculata extract alone (AP); A. paniculata extract in combination with S. platensis extract (AP+ES); and with S. platensis powder (AP+PS). All mice were infected with P. berghei on day 0. The treatment for each group were given 3 days before infection (D-3) until the day of infection (D0) for 28 days after infection. Colon tissues were processed with immunohistochemistry to detect Ki-67.RESULTS: A difference in Ki-67 expression was observed among the groups (p<0.01). The mean H-score for the CMC control group is 135.503±6.723. The lowest level of Ki-67 expression was observed in the AP+PS group (H-score= 110.941±7.079). AP group did not show a significant difference from the CMC group (p=0.514) and neither did the AP+ES group (p=0.234).CONCLUSION: In conclusion, administration of A. paniculata extract and S. platensis powder lowers Ki-67 expression in medial colon epithelial cells of P. berghei-infected mice.KEYWORDS: malaria, spirulina, Ki-67, Andrographis paniculata, Spirulina platensis]]>
