Abstract

Hypertension is one of the diseases with the highest prevalence in Indonesia and is the main cause of death in patients. Pregnant women have a risk of losing their baby due to hypertension or death. ACEI and ARB-type antihypertensive drugs are dangerous for pregnant women because they can cause fetal death. In ancient times, Indonesians have used plants as herbal medicines for generations. One of the plants that has medicinal properties is mangosteen skin (Garcinia mangostana L.) as an antihypertensive drug through its diuretic effects. However, the drugs consumed can have toxic effects if used in high concentrations. A teratogenic test is a toxic test that is specifically carried out to determine the presence of organ abnormalities in the fetus due to exposure to xenobiotic compounds. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo was chosen as the research object because the chorion in the embryonic phase is transparent, so it is easy to observe. This study aimed to determine the effect of exposure to mangosteen rind decoction on zebrafish embryos' hatchability and spinal curvature. Observations were made using a Leica microscope with ANOVA data analysis. The observations showed that high treatment concentrations decreased heart rate, while high concentrations didn’t affect egg hatching rate, spine curvature, or pigment density.

Abstract

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) peel contains bioactive compounds known for their health benefits, yet potential toxicity at certain doses remains a concern. This study evaluates the histopathological effects of mangosteen peel decoction on the liver of Betta fish (Betta sp.), a sensitive model organism. Mangosteen peel decoction was prepared and administered to Betta fish at concentrations of 5, 25, and 50 ppm, with a control group receiving no treatment. Fish were observed for changes in swimming activity and appetite over five days. Liver tissues were collected, processed, and analyzed histologically to assess tissue damage including vacuolization, pyknosis, hemorrhage, and necrosis. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. Behavioral analysis indicated a dose-dependent reduction in swimming activity and appetite in treated groups. Histopathological examination revealed significant liver damage across all treatment groups, with higher concentrations of decoction correlating with increased hemorrhage, pyknosis, and necrosis. Vacuolization was highest in the control group and lowest in the 50-ppm group. The overall hepatic damage was categorized as moderate, with the control group showing the least damage. Mangosteen peel decoction induced significant hepatic damage in Betta fish, highlighting the cytotoxic effects at higher doses. The observed behavioral and histopathological changes underscore the need for careful consideration of decoction concentrations to avoid adverse effects in aquatic organisms. This study provides crucial insights into the toxicological impacts of mangosteen peel decoction on fish liver health, emphasizing the importance of dose regulation in practical applications. Further research is recommended to explore protective measures and alternative treatments to mitigate liver damage.

Abstract

Hematoxylin-eosin is widely utilized in the field of animal microtechniques. However, the need to develop alternative dyes from natural sources such as plants has gained attention. Several studies have shown that many plants contain secondary metabolites with the potential to be developed as natural dyes. Lonchocarpus cyanescens and Syzygium cumini are promising candidates as alternative dyes for hematoxylin, while Lawsonia inermis and Hibiscus sabdariffa have shown potential as substitute dyes for eosin. These plants contain various secondary metabolites, including anthocyanins, flavonoids, chlorophyll, betalains, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, carbohydrates, proteins, phenolics, terpenoids, quinones, coumarins, xanthones, and resins. L. cyanescens exhibits a strong binding affinity to cells and tissues, particularly testicular tissue. Dyes derived from Syzygium cumini have been shown to provide a good staining result for rat liver cells. In contrast, dyes from Lawsonia inermis can stain cytoplasmic components and muscle fibers. Additionally, the dye from Hibiscus sabdariffa is capable of staining various biological components, including sperm, nerve cells, and blood cells. The dye preparation process involved extraction from different plant organs, such as leaves, flowers, and fruit. These findings suggest that secondary metabolites from these four plants hold significant potential for development as natural dyes to replace hematoxylin-eosin in histological applications.

Abstract

Mangosteen peel simplicia (Garcinia mangostana L.) contains potential ingredients used in medicine. A toxicity test of mangosteen peel simplicia is needed before it is used. Wader pari (Rasbora lateristriata) is a potential animal model for toxicity testing. Thus, this study aims to determine the effect of mangosteen peel extract at various concentrations on the behavior and bone structure of R. lateristriata. In this research, fish behavior was observed at 48 hpf (hours post-fertilization) and 30 dpf (days post-fertilization). Bone structure observed at 96 hpf, 7 dpf, 14 dpf, 21 dpf, 28 dpf, 35 dpf, and 42 dpf using the Alizarin Red ‒ Alcian Blue method. Observation data on behavior and bone structure were analyzed descriptively, while the number of vertebrae was analyzed quantitatively using One-Way ANOVA (P < 0.05). The results showed that the ossification of cranium and caudal complex skeleton components in the 1 and 5 μg/mL treatments was significantly behind that of the control and 0.5 μg/mL treatments. Furthermore, 5 μg/mL treatment caused some behavioral and swimming pattern abnormalities in 48 hpf larvae. In conclusion, exposure to 1 and 5 μg/mL mangosteen peel simplicia resulted in skeletal growth inhibition in R. lateristriata. Exposure to 5 μg/mL mangosteen peel simplicia caused abnormalities in the behavior and swimming pattern of 48 hpf larvae.

Abstract

A local commodity, Yellow rasbora fish Rasbora lateristriata (Bleeker, 1854), can potentially be used as a food resource by the Kulon Progo community. Added to that, cultivation or aquaculture is known to optimize this potential. Furthermore, Aquaculture will also prevent illegal fishing in nature, where yellow rasbora fish are listed as vulnerable species in the IUCN Red list. This study induced male yellow rasbora fish using the hormone OODEV® injection, which comprises the hormone Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotropin (PMSG) and anti-dopamine. PMSG is a hormone that contains FSH as well as LH in it. Yellow rasbora fish were nurtured to the age of six months and treated with four different treatments (dose) for a month, namely 0 mL/Kg, 0.25 mL/Kg, 0.5 mL/Kg, and 0.75 mL/Kg. Observed parameters included motility (movement and duration) as well as sperm count, sperm viability, sperm morphology, sperm morphometry, gonadosomatic index (GSI), and survival rate (SR). Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS with the One-way ANOVA test and continued with Duncan's test if the results were significant. The obtained results had no significant effect on the IGS value (p>0.05), with the highest value found at a dose of 0.75 mL/Kg. In addition, administration of OODEV® also improved sperm quality with the best results at 0.75 mL/Kg  in terms of motility with the highest progressive movement compared to other doses but not significant  (p>0.05) compared to the control,  and significantly (p<0.05) longest movement duration compared to other doses, while in terms of morphometry it had the second widest middle piece area but not significant (p>0.05) compared to other doses, widest tail area but not significant (p>0.05) compared to other doses except with 0.25 mL/Kg, longest tail length  (p>0.05) but not significant with other doses except with 0.25 mL/Kg , and significantly (p<0.05) had the longest sperm total length. Every dose showed a 100% percentage of survival rate.

Abstract

Forensics plays an important role in investigating crimes because it can reveal everything related to a murder case, including the time and cause of the murder. Histopathology is the study of damage to body tissues and organs which can be used to help investigate crimes. The aim of this literature review is to study the role of histopathology applications for forensic practice. The method used is searching journals and books using Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, NCBI, and PubMed with the keywords histopathology, forensics, diagnosis, death, microscopy, disease, staining, and autopsy. The histology approach helps the pathologist make a clear determination on the cause of death. The aim of histopathology is to perfect the macroscopic diagnosis and act as an additional examination in forensic case management. One of the histopathology methods in the forensic field is the paraffin method with hematoxylin eosin staining and special stains, immunohistochemistry, and MITS. The parameters observed with this method are measurements of pulmonary fat embolism; determining the age of myocardial infarction; assessment of liver steatosis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis; determination of the age of thrombus or thromboembolism; and diagnosis of shock with various diseases. The prospect of forensic histopathology is to complement molecular diagnostic methods, so that the combination of molecular and histology methods can play a maximum role in the field of forensic pathology. The conclusion of this literature review is that histopathology can be used to confirm the diagnosis in forensic cases and has good future prospects if combined with other methods such as molecular.
