Abstract

Estrogen is a hormone which is related to lipid oxidation, lypogenesis inhibition, and lipolysis rate. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of moderate intensity exercise on body weight and blood estrogen level in ovarectomized mice (ovx). The study was held in the Laboratory of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Airlangga during the period of April to May 2017 on old nineteen 3-4 months old female mice, , 20-30 grams of weight, which were divided into two groups: OVX (n=9, ovx without exercise) and OVX+E (n=10, ovx and moderate intensity exercise). Moderate intensity exercise in this study included swimming, three times a week at 3 pm for four weeks using a 6% of body weight load. Experiment data were analyzed by paired t-test and independent t-test using SPSS. The average body weights of the OVX  group were 26.44 ± 1.94 grams and 29.89 ± 2.62 gram at pretest and posttest, respectively., while for the OVX+E group, the weights were 26.50 ± 2.59 grams and 26.40 ± 2.07 grams. There were asignificant intergroup body weight differences (?OVX= 3.44 ± 2.55 gram and ?OVX+E= -1.00 ± 1.37 gram) with p=0.004. Blood estrogen level in OVX+E (12.04 ±10.13 ng/ml) was higher than in control (OVX= 11.24 ± 8.33 ng/ml); however, the difference was not significant (p=0.855). Moderate intensity exercise reduces body weight, without any significant increase in blood estrogen level. Hence, the body weight loss is not caused by estrogen, which may be due to the short period of exercise in this study that the estrogen has not had the time to increase.Pengaruh Olahraga Intensitas Sedang terhadap Berat Badan dan Kadar Estrogen Darah pada Mencit Ovariektomi Estrogen merupakan hormon yang berperan pada oksidasi lipid, kecepatan lipolisis, dan hambatan lipogenesis. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh olahraga intensitas sedang terhadap berat badan dan kadar estrogen darah pada mencit ovariektomi (ovx). Penelitian dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Biokimia Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Airlangga, April?Mei 2017. Sejumlah 19 mencit betina berusia 3?4 bulan, berat 20?30 gram, dibagi menjadi dua kelompok: OVX (n=9, ovx tanpa perlakuan) dan OVX+E (n=10, ovx dengan olahraga intensitas sedang). Olahraga intensitas sedang dilakukan dengan renang, tiga kali seminggu pukul 15.00 WIB selama empat minggu dengan beban 6% dari berat badan. Data dianalisis dengan paired t-test dan independent t-test SPSS. Berat badan OVX pra-tes 26,44±1,94 gram dan pascates 29,89±2,62 gram. Berat badan OVX+E pra-tes 26,50±2,59 gram dan pascates 26,40±2,07. Terdapat perbedaan bermakna berat badan antarkelompok (?OVX= 3,44±2,55 gram and ?OVX+E= -1,00±1,37 gram), p=0,004. Kadar estrogen darah OVX+E (12,04±10,13 ng/mL) lebih tinggi daripada konrol (OVX= 11,24±8,33 ng/mL), tetapi tidak berbeda bermakna (p=0,855). Olahraga intensitas sedang menurunkan berat badan, tetapi tidak bermakna meningkatkan kadar estrogen darah. Penurunan berat badan tidak disebabkan oleh estrogen. Peningkatan estrogen belum terjadi mungin disebabkan oleh waktu yang kurang lama.

Abstract

Introduction: Many studies have proposed that pre-pregnancy body mass index and higher gestationalweight gain (GWG) during pregnancy are risk factors for preeclampsia incidence. However, most of thosestudies give attention to total GWG during pregnancy to the risk of preeclampsia, not in a specific trimester.Aim: To examine whether abnormal gestational weight gain in the second and third trimester correlated withthe incidence of preeclampsiaMethods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a public health centre, in Surabaya, Indonesia,between October 2018 and October 2019. The samples were 63 pregnant women in the second and thirdtrimester. The variable observed was gestational weight gain (GWG) each week during the second and thirdtrimester compared to their pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) using the Institute of Medicine (IOM)standards and preeclampsia incidence. Statistical analysis used was Fisher’s Exact Test and Chi-Square Testwith a significance level of 5%.Results: There were 11 and 52 samples in the second and third trimester, respectively. Abnormal weightgain was recorded in 54% of samples in the second trimester and 57% of the preeclampsia third-trimestersamples. Moreover, preeclampsia was diagnosed in 83.3% and 60% samples with abnormal weight gain inthe second trimester and third trimester. Statistical analysis showed abnormal weight gain in the second andthird trimester related to preeclampsia with P-values 0.015 and 0.0001.Conclusion: Abnormal gestational weight gain in the second and third trimester was correlated topreeclampsia.

Abstract

Background: Stress prevalence increases by 5% in 15-year-olds and over in Surabaya. Stress causing negative effects is called distress. It may affect teenagers’ nutritional status without considering their diet, leading to growth inhibition if it occurs continuously. It follows Riskesdas’s (2013) data stating that 13-15-year-olds have a nutritional status of 3.3% very thin, 7.8% thin, 8.3% overnutrition, and 2.5% obese. Therefore, this study aimed to discover the relationship between stress level and nutritional status at SMP Negeri 56 Surabaya due to its dense academic and non-academic activities. Based on JPNN.com, several students hurt themselves using a blade due to psychological problems. Methods: This study used an observational analytical study design through a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was performed using the DASS-21 questionnaire and weight and height measurements, then analyzed using the Pearson Correlation or Rank Spearman test. Conclusion: the stress level was not related to the nutritional status of eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 56 Surabaya, observed from the current nutritional status (BB/U), past nutritional status (TB/U), and body proportion (IMT/U).

Abstract

ABSTRAKStreptococcus mutans merupakan bakteri yang paling penting dalam proses terjadinya karies gigi dan juga merupakan bakteri Gram positif yang memiliki kemampuan untuk menghasilkan bau nafas tak sedap. Berbagai tindakan telah dilakukan untuk menjaga kesehatan rongga mulut, salah satunya adalah menggunakan obat kumur. Chlorhexidine gluconate telah menjadi gold standard sejak 1940 karena efektif dan mempunyai spektrum antimikroba yang luas. Meskipun demikian, penggunaan chlorhexidine gluconate dalam jangka panjang tidak dianjurkan karena efek samping yang dapat terjadi. Berdasarkan hal tersebut penulis ingin memberi solusi alternatif dengan memanfaatkan ekstrak seledri (Apium graveolens L. var secalinumAlef) yangmengandung flavonoid, saponin, dan tannin yang merupakan senyawa bersifat antibakteri. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah eksperimental laboratorium dengan metode dilusi untuk menentukan Konsentrasi Hambat Minimal (KHM) dan Konsentrasi Bunuh Minimal (KBM). Penelitian ini menggunakan 6 tabung dan 2 tabung kontrol dengan konsentrasi 100%, 50%, 25%, 12,5%, 6,25%, dan 3,125%. Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan, Konsentrasi Hambat Minimal (KHM) yang didapatkan adalah 3,125%, sedangkan untuk Konsentrasi Bunuh Minimal (KBM) tidak dapat ditentukan. Tidak dapat ditentukan diduga terkait dengan rendahnya senyawa aktif pada sampel penelitian ini. serta diduga terdapat degradasi senyawa aktif dalam ekstrak seledri akibat paparan sinar matahari, panas, dan pH. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa ekstrak seledri (Apium graveolens L. var secalinum Alef)  mampu menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri Streptococcus mutans namun tidak dapat membunuh bakteri tersebut.Kata Kunci :Ekstrak Seledri (Apium graveolens L. var secalinum Alef) – Streptococcus mutans – metode dilusiStreptococcus mutans is the most important bacteria in the process of dental caries and also Gram positive bacteria  bakteri that has ability to produce bad odor. Various measures have been taken to maintain oral health, one of them is using mouthwash. Chlorhexidine gluconate has became the gold standard since 1940 because it’s effectiveness and has a broad antimicrobial spectrum. However, the long-term use of chlorhexidine gluconate is not recommended because of possible side effects that can occur later on. Based on this, the author wanted to show an alternative solution by utilizing celery extract (Apium graveolens L. var secalinum Alef) containing flavonoids, saponins, and tannins which are antibacterial compounds. This research is designed as an  experimental  laboratory with dilution method  to determine Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC). This study using 6 tubes and 2 control tubes with concentrations of 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, and 3.125%. The Minimal Inhibition Concentration (MIC) is 3.125%, while for Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) there is no result. This result might be related to the use of crude extract and minimal amount of active compound in this sample. Besides, the amount of active compound can be degraded by exposure of light, heat, and pH.Based on the result, celery extract (Apium graveolens L. var secalinum Alef)   able to inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans bacteria but can not kill the bacteria. Keywords :Celery Extract (Apium graveolens L. var secalinum Alef) – Streptococcus mutans – dilution method

Abstract

AbstractBackground: In 2017, the prevalence of malnutrition in Indonesia was ranked 4­th among Southeast Asia countries. The nonoptimal complementary feeding is one of the reasons. The nonoptimal complementary feeding is associated with the prevalence of underweight and stunting in the children at the age 6-23 months. Complementary feeding pattern include frequency and dietary diversity. This study aims to investigate the relationship between complementary feeding pattern and nutritional status of infants at the age 7-12 months in the Kedungwaru Health Center, Tulungagung. Methods: This study used observational analytic and cross-sectional study design. The sample consisted of 71 mothers of the infants which were taken by total sampling. The variables of this study were complementary feeding pattern and nutritional status. This study also used a questionnaire and observation sheet. The Fisher Exact Test was used to analyse the data. Result: The results showed 88.7% of the infants have good nutritional status. There are 49.3% appropriate complementary feeding and 69% which applied various types of complementary feeding. The frequency of complementary feeding with the nutritional status of infants obtained p value 0.478 and the dietary diversity of complementary feeding with nutritional status obtained p value 0.102. Conclusions: There were no significant relation between the complementary feeding pattern and the nutritional status (weight-for-age) in infants at the age 7-12 months. Further research about other variables is needed.

Abstract

Masalah utama yang belum teratasi di Indonesia adalah masalah gizi, diantaranya adalah anak kurus dan gemuk. Pada tahun 2017, kejadian anak kurus dan gemuk di Indonesia masing-masing sebesar 12.8% dan 4.6%. Pengetahuan ibu berkaitan erat dengan masalah gizi pada anak, semakin tinggi tingkat pengetahuan ibu maka akan semakin baik status gizi anak. Berdasarkan beberapa penelitian masih didapatkan hasil yang berbeda antara hubungan pengetahuan ibu dengan status gizi anak berdasarkan indeks BB/TB. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan hubungan pengetahuan ibu dengan status gizi anak berdasarkan indeks BB/TB. Penelitian ini menggunakan observasi analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 94 ibu beserta anaknya yang diambil secara random sampling berdasarkan data sekunder yang diperoleh dari puskesmas. Selanjutnya data yang terkumpul akan dianalisis secara univariat menggunakan distribusi frekuensi. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah status gizi anak terbanyak (79.79%) adalah status gizi normal dan pengetahuan ibu terbanyak (52.13%) adalah baik. Pada ibu dengan pengetahuan yang baik terbanyak memiliki anak dengan status gizi normal (83.7%). Pengetahuan ibu tidak berhubungan (p>0.05) dengan status gizi anak berdasarkan indeks BB/TB. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengetahuan ibu tidak berhubungan dengan status gizi anak berdasarkan indeks BB/TB.
