Abstract

Liver cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the development of chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis and is responsible for damage to the shape and function of the liver. The loss of the ability of conventional chemotherapy to inhibit the growth of cancer cells is a major focus in the world. Natural ingredients are the solution to this problem, for example the use of Vernonia amygdalina leaves. Vernonia amygdalina contains flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, and steroids/triterpenoids which are reported to have anticancer properties. This study aims to examined the activity of these plants as anticancer liver through cytotocix and apoptotic activity. Vernonia amygdalina ethanol extract (VAEE), Vernonia amygdalina ethyl acetate extract (VAEAE), and Vernonia amygdalina n-hexane extract (VAHE) were obtained from a multistage maceration process. The extracts were tested for cytotoxic activity by the MTT method on HepG2 cells. VAEAE had the best inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) value of 19.91 ± 0.24 µg/mL. Apoptosis test was performed using double staining method. Subjective observations were made using a fluorescence microscope. It was seen that Vernonia amygdalina ethyl acetate extract was able to trigger apoptosis in HepG2 cells.

Abstract

Diarrhea is discharge of abnormal and liquid stool with a frequency of 3-4 daily which caused by pathogenic organisms such as Escherichia coli, and other. Dengke Naniura is a traditional Batak Toba food that can produce probiotics (Lactobacillus fermentum). Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that confer a health benefit on the host. Nutritional supplements combined between probiotics and prebiotics are called synbiotics, The purpose of this study was to analyze the preventive effect of diarrhea in rats given L.fermentum for 21 days. The preventive effect of diarrhea test begins with the giving of L.fermentum from day 1 to day 21. From day 7 to day 14 rats were induced with E.coli. Weight of the rats, stool consistency, onset of diarrhea, frequency of diarrhea, and duration of diarrhea were observed. The results of the observation that weight of rats in the L.fermentum group increased compared to group 1 (p<0.05). Consistency stool is soft (massless). Onset of diarrhea on day 1 after induced of E.coli in the group 1. Frequency of diarrhea increased to 9.25 ± 0.50 times on day 14 (group 1). And diarrhea occurs for 10 days. Conclusion L.fermentum showed a preventive effect of diarrhea in rats induced E.coli.

Abstract

Primary health centers play important roles in preventing, detecting, and helping people to cope with the problems associated with the COVID-19 infection. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen and optimize the role of primary health center, including pharmaceutical care. This prospective descriptive study aimed to evaluate the level of patient satisfaction on COVID-19 handling in seven primary health centers Medan, Sumatera Utara, Indonesia period January to April 2021. A self-designed questionnaire was distributed to a total of 617 patients admitted to the 7 primary health centers to assess the characteristics of the patients and the required data about patient satisfaction about nine-item pharmaceutical services provided, supporting facilities, and infrastructures. The patient satisfaction was assessed using a 4-point Likert scale categorized into very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, satisfied and very satisfied. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive and Chi-Square analyses. Most (67%) of the respondents were females. The present study indicated that most respondents satisfied with the services provided.

Abstract

Mahkota Dewa is known as one of the medicinal plants in Indonesia. It contains bioactive compounds and potentially has pharmacological activity. This study aimed to determine the possible toxic effects of Mahkota DewaThe ethanol extract of Mahkota Dewa fruit flesh was given to rats. Group I (control 0.5% Na-CMC), groups II, III and IV as a treatment group (Mahkota Dewa at doses of 100, 500 and 1000 mg/kg bw, respectively). Group V as a control satellite (Na-CMC 0, 5%) and group VI as a satellite of the ethanol extract at a dose of 1000 mg/kg bw., Each groups were treated on day 6 to 15 of gestational. On the 19th day getation, the rats were dissected and observed the skeletal malformations. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by a post-hoc tukey. The results toxicity showed that no fetuses had external malformations. On fetal skeletal appearance, all skeletal bone preparations were normal. Based on the study, the ethanolic extract of Mahkota Dewa Fruit Flesh did not cause a teratogenic effect on the fetus during the organogenesis period at doses of 100 mg/kg bw, 500 mg/kg bw, and 1000 mg/kg bw Â
