Abstract

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are the main vector of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). Various prevention efforts were carried out to reduce their population. One of them is the use of synthetic or bioinsecticides. Bioinsecticides are safer for humans, animals and the environment so they had been used widely as an alternative nowadays. Larvicide is one of the insecticides product that attacks mosquito breeding sites in the water. Larvicide has various mechanisms that can attack some target organs including larvae’s midgut. Based on several trial results, plant insecticides have been cause epithelial cells in larvae’s midgut to lyses, change shape, vacuolize and detach from the basal membrane. Peritrophic membrane, microvilli and brush border are partially or completely damage. Histopathological changes in the midgut epithelial cells of Ae. aegypti larvae were caused by metabolite compounds, either singly or in combination that contained in plant extracts

Abstract

Consuming street food is a habit common among elementary school students. Snacking habits can be influenced by parents and friends, and various other factors. The hygiene of the snacks in school environment is also a consideration. This study aims to determine the effect of snacking habits and snacks hygiene on incidence of diarrhea among elementary school students. The study was conducted by comparing available data from six journals. The results showed conflicting data on the effect of snacking habits on incidence of diarrhea with two sources showing significant (p < 0.05) and insignificant (p > 0.05) impact. Hand washing habits (p < 0.05), carrying meals (p < 0.05), and knowledge (p < 0.05) had a significant influence on snacking habits and incidence of diarrhea. For snack hygiene, food quality (p < 0.05); storage (p < 0.05); and processing (p < 0.05); sanitation facilities (p < 0.05); and food handlers’ hygiene (p < 0.05) had a significant effect on E.coli contamination. Apart from hygiene, some snacks were found to contain harmful food additives. In conclusion, it is necessary to conduct an educational program for healthy snacks as well as monitor and maintain canteen hygiene on a regular basis.

Abstract

The habit of people who consume coffee will have an impact on increasing blood pressure, where if you drink 4 or more cups of coffee in one day, the systolic pressure will increase by approximately 10 mmHg and around 8 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to see the relationship between the habit of consuming milk coffee and black coffee with blood pressure in students of the Faculty of Medicine at Krida Wacana Christian University. This research used a cross-sectional approach with a population of 2020 Ukrida Faculty of Medicine students. The sample in this study was 102 people with a simple random sampling technique. It was found that the average 2020 Ukrida Faculty of Medicine student consumed coffee 1-2 times a day at a rate of 1-2 cups per day, but there were also some who consumed 3-4 cups of coffee a day. Data analysis used the Person Chi-Square and obtained the p-value for milk coffee: 0.126 and the p-value for black coffee: 0.656. So this shows that both milk coffee and black coffee have no significant relationship with an increase in blood pressure.

Abstract

Understanding the immune response to COVID-19 is critical to help develop appropriate management. Understand the description and response of the immune system that is formed in humans through COVID-19 infection. Conduct a critical review of research journals on the immune response to SARS-CoV-19. Search for articles in research journal databases using the keywords COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, and Immunity. COVID-19 patients have increased serum cytokine levels (TNFα, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IFNγ) compared with healthy patients. IL-6, IL-10, and CRP increased significantly with disease severity. The number of T cells decreases in COVID-19 patients, especially those who are more severe. There were no significant differences in antibody titers based on gender, age, or BMI in post-vaccine individuals. Smokers had significantly lower antibody titers after the second dose of vaccination. COVID-19 patients experience a decrease in the number of lymphocytes and an increase in CRP and cytokines such as TNFα, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, and IFNγ, especially in severe cases. A positive correlation exists between CRP and IL-10. The number of T cells such as CD4+T and CD8+T also decreases in COVID-19 patients, especially those who are more severe. This could be a diagnostic and prognostic marker for COVID-19.

Abstract

Cockroach is one of the types of insects that exists everywhere. Cockroach can live in a lot of places, such as the gutter, the trash, and even in the bathroom. Cockroach is one of the agents that is responsible for the spreading of diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery and cholera in children. In Indonesia, there exists a lot of different types of cockroach, one of it is the German Cockroach or Blattella germanica L., and the cockroach problem in Indonesia is mainly handled by using chemicals insecticides, this happens because there’s a lot and its commonly found in a lot of places. Pyrethroid based chemicals insecticides are one of the most common chemical insecticides used by the public. These chemical insecticides have various kinds of adverse effects because they leave residues that can be inhaled by humans and also consumed by humans through food products. Some of the effects of chemical insecticides are diseases of the liver, kidneys, and also problems with the central nervous system. Therefore, an alternative solution is needed in dealing with the cockroach problems in Indonesia, namely Bioinsecticides. Bioinsecticides are insecticides made using natural ingredients without the addition of chemical substances. Ginger is one of the spices that can be found anywhere, in ginger there are compounds called flavonoids, and these compounds can be used as bioinsecticides. Bioinsecticides are made by taking the ginger extract then putting the extract into a spray bottle according to the dose using a pasteur pipette.

Abstract

Genetic therapy is a revolutionary innovation in the medical world that aims to treat or prevent diseases through the modification of the patient's genetic material. This literature review examines the latest advances in genetic therapy, including the biomedical laboratory techniques used. Techniques such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, CRISPR-Cas9, and Prime Editing have provided the ability to modify genes with high precision. Genetic therapy has shown success in various diseases, including monogenic genetic diseases such as hemophilia and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, as well as cancer through Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. Additionally, research shows the potential of genetic therapy in addressing complex diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, as well as in regenerative treatment for degenerative diseases like Parkinson's. Despite being promising, challenges related to ethics, safety, and accessibility still need to be addressed. Case studies indicate that although there are many successes, there are still obstacles to be overcome to improve the effectiveness and safety of this therapy. This literature review concludes that genetic therapy has great potential to become an important pillar of modern treatment in the future, provided that further research and development are needed to overcome the various existing barriers.

Abstract

Caenorhabditis elegans is a microscopic nematode, with a transparent body, short life span, self-fertilization ability. C. elegans is easy to be cultured and has been used as an animal model for molecular research, medicine, pharmacology, and toxicology. In addition, C. elegans was the first animal to have its genome completely sequenced and has played a major role in understanding apoptosis and RNA interference. The use of C. elegans as a biological model in environmental toxicology assessments has allowed for the determination of several endpoints. Some of these utilize effects on the biological functions of the nematode and others use molecular markers. Furthermore, C. elegans has enabled the assessment of neurotoxic effects for pesticides and heavy metals, since this nematode has a very well-defined nervous system. Overall, almost every known toxin has been tested in this animal model. In the near future, the knowledge available about the life cycle of C. elegans will allow for more studies on reproduction, transgenerational toxicity for newly developed chemicals and materials, and detailing the signaling pathways involved in the mechanisms of toxicity. C. elegans is an important animal model for research into the identification and understanding of the machinery of nuclear transport. This has helped elucidate biochemical pathways involved in diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. C. elegans is an excellent animal model for studying aging because of its short lifespan, susceptibility to oxidative stress, and similarity to the human aging process.

Abstract

Flavonoids are a group of polyphenolic compounds widely found in plants and have long been recognized for their biological activities, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In recent years, increasing attention has been given to the potential of flavonoids as immunomodulatory agents. This review article aims to summarize and evaluate scientific evidence regarding the role of flavonoids in modulating both innate and adaptive immune responses. Several flavonoids, such as apigenin, genistein, quercetin, and naringenin, have been shown to suppress the production of proinflammatory cytokines, inhibit macrophage activation, and influence the differentiation of T cell subpopulations such as Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg. In addition, some flavonoids have been found to inhibit inflammasome activation and may promote macrophage polarization toward either the M1 or M2 phenotype depending on the pathological context. Although preclinical data demonstrate promising results, challenges such as low bioavailability remain a major barrier to therapeutic application. Therefore, further research is needed to optimize the clinical potential of flavonoids as effective and safe immunomodulatory agents.
