Abstract

Blood group examination is an examination that aims to determine the type of blood group. Cell test is a blood group examination reagent used to detect antibodies in the serum being examined. The long shelf life of cell tests that can only last for two days is considered less effective for agencies with a high level of blood services. The purpose of this study was to describe the degree of agglutination in blood group examination with cell test A and B stored on the 0th, 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th days. This study is a descriptive study with a Quasi Experimental research design. Test cell A and test cell B were made from red blood cell specimens of 3 blood type A and 3 blood type B respectively. Test cells are stored in a refrigerator with a temperature of 2-6° C. Test cells were then examined on the 0th, 2nd, 4th, and 6th day of storage. Calculation of samples and repetitions using the Federer formula with the number of treatments in this study is 5 treatments. Based on the calculation, one sample of test cell A and test cell B was obtained with five repetitions of each examination. The results showed that on the 0th, 2nd, 4th, and 6th day of cell test storage, the results of blood type examination were obtained, namely the degree of agglutination 4+ with erythrocytes in the cell test clumping into one bond, cells forming large agglutination with clear supernatant. On the 8th day of storage, the result of agglutination degree is 3+ with erythrocytes in test cells not clumping perfectly, there are erythrocyte granules and cloudy supernatant. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that test cell A and test cell B can be used optimally until day 6 storage.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis undergo Anti-Tuberculosis Drug (OAT) therapy for six months. In the first two months, known as the intensive phase, patients receive a combination of OATs such as isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide. TNF-α is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a crucial role in granuloma formation to contain the spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This study aims to determine the difference in TNF-α levels in pulmonary tuberculosis patients before and after one month of OAT therapy. The study used an observational analytic design with a prospective cohort approach without comparison. A total of 17 newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients at Bangetayu, Kedungmundu, and Tlogosari Wetan Health Centers, Semarang City, were included. TNF-α levels in serum samples were measured using the ELISA method. The mean TNF-α level before OAT therapy was 110.09±100,48 pg/mL, while after one month of therapy, it decreased to 90,05±60,12 pg/mL. The statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney test yielded a p-value of 0.228 (p > 0.05), indicating that there was no statistically significant difference in TNF-α levels before and after one month of anti-tuberculosis drug (OAT) therapy. However, the mean TNF-α levels showed a decreasing trend, which, although not statistically significant, may suggest an initial immunological response to the treatment. The researcher recommends further studies with a larger sample size and longer observation period—such as until the end of the intensive phase or the completion of therapy—in order to obtain more representative and statistically significant results regarding TNF-α dynamics during tuberculosis treatment.

Abstract

The purpose of this PPDM is to strengthen the cadre of Posbindu PTM officers in 3 RW of Sendangmulyo village in order to provide optimal health services and how to increase awareness of their own health and family, so as to reduce the number of NCD patients. The targets of PPDM are cadres of Posbindu PTM Officers in RW 15, 20 and 24 Sendangmulyo urban villages, Tembalang sub-district, Semarang City. The method used is education, training 15 cadres of Posbindu PTM officers, to be implemented during Posbindu PTM in their RW routinely in the form of health counseling) and providing services for checking blood pressure, weight, height, abdominal circumference, cholesterol, uric acid and blood sugar, as well as consulting services about complaints felt by residents, then conducted monitoring and evaluation by pengabdi related to improving the quality of health services carried out by cadres of Posbindu PTM officers after being trained. The results obtained are that residents feel more able to know their health conditions so that they can improve their health conditions on the basis of direction, advice from officers at table 5 and the quality of service is getting faster, dexterous, and looks skilled in the use of tools.
