Abstract

Background: Stunting is a linear growth disorder caused by chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections, characterized by a height-for-age Z-score (HAZ) < −2 SD according to WHO standards. Stunting remains a global and national public health problem, including in Indonesia and Deli Serdang Regency. This condition has serious impacts on cognitive development, productivity, and increases the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood. Stunting is influenced by multiple factors, including food intake, household food security, parenting practices, environmental sanitation, and utilization of health services. Objective: To analyze the determinants of stunting in the working area of Aras Kabu Public Health Center, Deli Serdang Regency, in 2025. Methods: This study used a quantitative analytic design. It aimed to analyze the determinants of stunting among children under five. The study was conducted in the working area of Aras Kabu Public Health Center, Deli Serdang Regency. Results: Based on univariate and bivariate analyses, the prevalence of stunting in the Aras Kabu Public Health Center area in 2025 was 19.25% and was significantly associated with food intake, household food security, parenting practices, environmental sanitation, and utilization of health services. These findings indicate that the five factors are important determinants of stunting and should be prioritized in prevention efforts. Therefore, strengthening the role of primary health care through nutrition education, optimization of community health posts (posyandu), growth monitoring, and promotion of clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) is necessary, along with cross-sector collaboration, active parental involvement, and engagement of health workers in early detection and prevention. Conclusion: Based on the study findings, there is an association between dietary intake, food security, parenting practices, environmental sanitation, and utilization of health services with the incidence of stunting in the working area of Aras Kabu Public Health Center in 2025. Multivariate analysis also showed that dietary intake was the most influential factor associated with stunting.

Abstract

Compounds that function as free radical scavengers are known as antioxidants, which inhibit the oxidation process of chemical reactions and work by taking an electron to reduce the negative effects of these free radicals. The Mahkota Dewa plant (Phaleria macrocarpa), a member of the Thymelacaccae family, is known to have potential as a natural antioxidant.Various treatments prior to the extraction process of the Mahkota Dewa leaf affect the level of antioxidant activity was observed to have an effect on Both groups of leaves were extracted by maceration after part of the leaves were air-dried and partially extracted from fresh leaves. Yields were determined and phytochemical and antioxidant tests used the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl method and gallic acid as a comparison. Test results showed yield values ??of 13.6% w/w (dried extract) and 9% w/w (fresh leaves). Mahkota dewa leaves contain alkaloids, flavonoids and phenolic active compounds. An antioxidant activity (IC50) value was obtained at 108.05 ppm (dried leaves). 90.97 ppm (fresh leaf) and 4.04 ppm (comparison compound). Fresh leaf sample extracts have higher antioxidant activity values than dried leaf sample extracts.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus Type II is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to insulin resistance and impaired pancreatic β-cell function. Assessing the quality of isolated DNA is a critical step in ensuring the suitability of samples before they are used in molecular analysis. The objective of this study was to examine the visual patterns of DNA bands isolated from blood samples of patients with type II diabetes mellitus using agarose gel electrophoresis. This study employed a descriptive method with qualitative assessment of DNA quality in 15 blood samples from patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. DNA was isolated using a commercial DNA Extraction Mini Kit; subsequently, the samples were analyzed via 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, and the results were visualized using a gel documentation system. The data were analyzed descriptively based on the presence, clarity, and pattern of the DNA bands, and were then presented as frequencies and percentages. The results showed that 11 samples (73%) exhibited clear DNA bands, while 4 samples (27%) showed a smear pattern or DNA bands that were not clearly visible. Clear DNA bands indicate successful isolation and relatively intact DNA qualitatively. A smear pattern may indicate DNA fragmentation or degradation, while the absence of visible bands may be related to DNA levels below the detection limit or technical limitations of the assay. This study concluded that most blood samples from patients with type II diabetes mellitus produced distinct DNA bands. 1% agarose gel electrophoresis can be used to qualitatively assess the presence and integrity of DNA.

Abstract

Adolescent-Friendly Health Services (Pelayanan Kesehatan Peduli Remaja, PKPR) provide counseling to address adolescents’ reproductive health needs. However, program implementation does not necessarily translate into optimal service utilization. This study aimed to examine adolescents’ understanding of reproductive health and their utilization of reproductive health counseling within the PKPR program in the service area of Tanjung Marulak Community Health Center, Tebing Tinggi City, Indonesia. A mixed methods approach involved 92 adolescent respondents and 10 informants. Data were collected through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, observations, and document review. The findings showed that only eight respondents (8.7%) reported having participated in PKPR, while 84 (91.3%) had never participated. Fifty respondents had limited understanding of reproductive health, and 70 had limited understanding of ways to improve reproductive health. Qualitative findings indicated that the program was supported by health personnel who had received PKPR orientation and by collaboration across sectors and health programs. However, the counseling room was shared with nutrition services, educational resources and funding were limited, peer counselors’ roles were underdeveloped, and PKPR-specific standard operating procedures were unavailable. Barriers to service utilization included conflicts between service hours and school activities, confidentiality concerns, and fear of stigma. PKPR participation remained low, alongside limited reproductive health understanding and shortcomings in counseling delivery. The health center should ensure privacy, adapt service hours to adolescents’ needs, strengthen peer counseling and education, and establish program-specific procedures and adequate funding.
