Abstract

There are many studies analyzing the flavonoid content based on the total flavonoid content (TFC) of wungu leaves through the extraction process with different extraction solvents. So, this review using literature review methodology is aimed to find out the type of extraction solvent that has the most optimum condition based on the highest TFC. The databases for collecting data involved PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Temporary, the results based on some previous studies vary greatly. Two of four selected articles showed that the highest TFC was found in semi-polar solvents; ethyl acetate and acetone. It is suspected that the samples contain more aglycones (a subtype of flavonoids) that can be soluble in semi-polar solvents. Whereas, the two others showed that the nonpolar solvent (hexane) had the highest TFC. It is suspected that the samples contain more subtypes of flavonoids called isoflavones, flavanones, flavones, and flavonols that can be soluble in nonpolar solvents. To get the appropriate and best standardized extract of wungu leaves, re-examination of this optimization based on the highest TFC in further research is necessary by using different extraction solvents that are equally polar like water, methanol, and ethanol; because the flavonoids as secondary metabolites in plants are basically polar.

Abstract

Head injuries hold the third position among all injury categories in Indonesia, with the highest number of cases occurring in children. Approximately 2% of all head injury cases are epidural hematomas (EDH). The majority of these epidural hematoma cases are caused by head trauma such as accidents, falls, collisions, or other physical assaults leading to traumatic mechanisms. Additionally, EDH can also be caused by non-traumatic processes such as infection/abscess, vascular malformations, tumors, and coagulopathy disorders. Epidural hematoma has a relatively favorable prognosis, yet there are several factors that contribute to a worsened prognosis. This study aims to examine of several research articles outlining the factors contributing to mortality in pediatric EDH cases. The method used is a literature review technique utilizing scholarly databases meeting specific inclusion criteria. The study found that the preoperative GCS, preoperative treatment time interval, operative treatment, and pupillary abnormalities are some of the factors that can impact patient outcomes, including mortality rates, in pediatric EDH cases. Subsequent research is expected to delve deeper on the outcomes of patients undergoing surgical and conservative interventions to address mortality incidents in pediatric EDH.

Abstract

During COVID-19, there was a change in student lifestyle, which triggered visceral fat accumulation. The accumulation of visceral fat is one of the causes of systemic inflammation, which is dangerous for the integrity of the brain and can potentially reduce cognitive function. This study aimed to determine the relationship between visceral fat and cognitive function among medical students. This study used a cross-sectional design towards 73 Faculty of Medicine Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jakarta students who met the criteria and were selected using a simple random sampling technique. The measurement of visceral fat was done using the Tanita Body Composition Analyzer, while the measurement of cognitive function was done using the Digit Symbol Substitution Test questionnaire. The study showed differences in sex and body mass index between normal and high visceral fat groups. There were no differences in age, consumption of junk food, and physical activity between the visceral fat groups. The Spearman test results showed a relationship between visceral fat and cognitive function (p-value equal 0.000; r equal -0.561). The higher the visceral fat, the lower the cognitive function.

Abstract

Background: Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative bacteria and is the main suspect for urinary tract infections and gastroenteritis. The cases of antibiotic resistance against E. coli continue to increase due to public non-compliance with taking antibiotics. Purple leaf (Graptophyllum pictum (L.) Griff) is a plant that grows widely in Indonesia and is generally used as a herbal medicine. This plant contains alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and steroids, which can inhibit bacterial growth. This content is obtained through an extraction process. This study aimed to determine the difference in effectiveness of purple leaves extracted using the Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction method at a frequency of 30 kHz, 40 kHz, and 50 kHz against the growth of E. coli. Methods: This research is purely experimental and was carried out in vitro. The antibacterial activity test used the suitable diffusion method, and then the diameter of the inhibition zone was measured. This research was analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests, which resulted in significant differences between treatment groups. Results: The average diameter of the inhibition zone produced at frequencies of 30 kHz, 40 kHz, and 50 kHz is 3,40 mm, 6,22mm, and 4,37mm. Conclusions: The results of this research show that the most optimal frequency is 40 kHz; this frequency can form cavitation in purple leaf cells, thereby producing phytochemical substances that can damage the cell structure of E. coli.

Abstract

Ischemic stroke research often relies on animal models to understand the pathological processes underlying brain injury. Among the most widely used models are permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) and transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO), both of which simulate ischemic events in the brain. However, while existing studies have compared the effects of pMCAO and tMCAO on infarct volumes, many have been limited by short observation periods (e.g., 4 hours) or have focused only on non-occlusion models. This literature review aims to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of these two models in generating infarct sizes, specifically utilizing triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining to measure infarct volumes. Our analysis highlights the variability in infarct volumes between the two models and emphasizes further research incorporating longer observation intervals (e.g., 6, 18, and 24 hours). This gap in research is crucial for refining experimental stroke models and improving the clinical relevance of findings, particularly regarding therapeutic strategies for ischemic stroke. The review also suggests potential research pathways to enhance model standardization and consistency in future studies, aiming for more accurate and reproducible results that will inform the development of effective stroke treatments.

Abstract

Transcardial perfusion is a crucial technique in rodent research for tissue fixation and preservation. The process typically involves flushing the vascular system with saline to remove blood, followed by fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) or formalin. However, differences in species, procedural techniques, and fluid volumes can influence perfusion efficiency and tissue quality. This literature review compares six transcardial perfusion protocols used in mice and rats, focusing on procedural variations and fluid volume requirements. Data were collected from published protocols detailing perfusion techniques, obtaining evidence that substantial variability is observed in the protocols, including differences in anesthesia regimens, surgical approaches, perfusion techniques, fluid compositions, and fixation outcomes. Future research should focus on standardizing perfusion protocols to improve consistency in fixation quality, minimize tissue degradation, and preserve structural and molecular integrity.
