Abstract

The purple color in sweet potatoes is caused by the presence of natural pigments known as anthocyanins. The concentration of anthocyanins varies among purple sweet potatoes, resulting in various shades of purple. Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH), commonly known as worms, are infectious diseases caused by intestinal nematode parasites transmitted through soil. This study aims to observe the effect of varying concentrations of anthocyanins extracted from purple sweet potato tubers in detecting STH eggs using the sedimentation method. This research uses laboratory experiments with categorical descriptive characteristics, varying the anthocyanin concentrations from purple sweet potatoes: 100%, 60%, 40%, 20%. The results showed that a 60% anthocyanin concentration can effectively serve as a substitute for 2% Eosin reagent in staining worm eggs. Thus, it can be concluded that a 60% concentration is optimal for staining worm eggs or as a natural dye alternative for worm egg staining.

Abstract

Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) are a group of worms that require specific soil conditions to reach the infective stage in their life cycle. These worms can infect humans through various means, all involving contact with soil contaminated by worm eggs or larvae. Qualitative testing for worm eggs that infect humans generally uses microscopic fecal examination in laboratories. Staining is often used to enhance the contrast and visibility of the eggs, with common stains including eosin, Lugol's iodine, safranin, and methylene blue. However, these stains have negative effects on both humans and the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a safer natural staining product for humans and the environment, such as anthocyanin extract. Anthocyanin is a pigment that ranges in color from red to blue and is widely found in plants. These pigments are classified as flavonoid pigments. Flavonoid compounds, including anthocyanins, are polar and can be extracted using polar solvents. This study aims to optimize the use of dragon fruit anthocyanin as a staining agent in STH examination. The research was conducted using a categorical descriptive laboratory observation method, with positive fecal samples analyzed using sedimentation at various concentrations: 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20%. The results showed that dragon fruit anthocyanin extract at an 80% concentration could be used as an alternative to 2% eosin in staining worm eggs. The conclusion is that dragon fruit anthocyanin extract at concentrations of 20% to 80% is effective as a stain for identifying STH eggs.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infection that not only affects the lungs but can also impact the body's metabolic system, including glucose regulation. In patients with comorbid diabetes mellitus (DM), the risk of elevated blood glucose levels is higher due to the added metabolic disruption from both conditions. Therefore, this descriptive study aims to illustrate fasting blood glucose levels in TB patients with DM at H. Andi Sulthan Daeng Radja Hospital, Bulukumba Regency. This study used purposive sampling and involved 30 TB patients with DM as the sample. Fasting blood glucose levels were measured using spectrophotometry to obtain accurate and detailed data regarding blood glucose levels. The data collected were analyzed descriptively and presented in frequency distribution tables along with narrative descriptions to clearly illustrate the distribution of blood glucose levels among these patients. The results indicate that out of 30 patients, 19 individuals (63%) had blood glucose levels within the normal range (70-110 mg/dL), while 11 individuals (37%) showed elevated blood glucose levels (>110 mg/dL). These findings suggest that most TB patients with DM have blood glucose levels within the normal range, although a portion experienced elevated levels. In conclusion, routine blood glucose monitoring is essential for TB patients with DM to prevent further complications and maintain stable health conditions.
