Abstract

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) peel contains bioactive compounds known for their health benefits, yet potential toxicity at certain doses remains a concern. This study evaluates the histopathological effects of mangosteen peel decoction on the liver of Betta fish (Betta sp.), a sensitive model organism. Mangosteen peel decoction was prepared and administered to Betta fish at concentrations of 5, 25, and 50 ppm, with a control group receiving no treatment. Fish were observed for changes in swimming activity and appetite over five days. Liver tissues were collected, processed, and analyzed histologically to assess tissue damage including vacuolization, pyknosis, hemorrhage, and necrosis. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. Behavioral analysis indicated a dose-dependent reduction in swimming activity and appetite in treated groups. Histopathological examination revealed significant liver damage across all treatment groups, with higher concentrations of decoction correlating with increased hemorrhage, pyknosis, and necrosis. Vacuolization was highest in the control group and lowest in the 50-ppm group. The overall hepatic damage was categorized as moderate, with the control group showing the least damage. Mangosteen peel decoction induced significant hepatic damage in Betta fish, highlighting the cytotoxic effects at higher doses. The observed behavioral and histopathological changes underscore the need for careful consideration of decoction concentrations to avoid adverse effects in aquatic organisms. This study provides crucial insights into the toxicological impacts of mangosteen peel decoction on fish liver health, emphasizing the importance of dose regulation in practical applications. Further research is recommended to explore protective measures and alternative treatments to mitigate liver damage.

Abstract

Topical use of oxybenzone, commonly found in sunscreens, can be absorbed by the skin, and long-term use may cause endocrine disruption, cancer, and teratogenic effects. However, its potential teratogenic effects on embryonic development have not been well-studied. This study aims to determine the impact of oxybenzone exposure on the early stage of embryonic development. Chicken embryos aged 72 hours (20 Hamburger-Hamilton/HH stage) were exposed to a pure oxybenzone for 24 hours at varying concentrations (0, 1, 5, 10, and 20 ppm), each group consisting of 3 embryos. Embryo preparations were made using the wholemount method. Morphological abnormalities were observed with a stereo microscope, and descriptively morphometric measurements were analyzed using ImageJ software. Statistical analysis used One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test for normally distributed data, while Kruskal-Wallis H and Mann-Whitney U test for non-normally distributed data. This study found that oxybenzone significantly enlarged the embryo, telencephalon, and eye. Several abnormalities were observed in the embryos exposed to oxybenzone, including incomplete closure of the anterior neuropore, concavity in the anterior and lateral of the mesencephalon, and depressions in the tail bud. This study concludes that oxybenzone acts as a teratogen, causing abnormalities in embryonic development, particularly in the central nervous system.

Abstract

Forensics plays an important role in investigating crimes because it can reveal everything related to a murder case, including the time and cause of the murder. Histopathology is the study of damage to body tissues and organs which can be used to help investigate crimes. The aim of this literature review is to study the role of histopathology applications for forensic practice. The method used is searching journals and books using Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, NCBI, and PubMed with the keywords histopathology, forensics, diagnosis, death, microscopy, disease, staining, and autopsy. The histology approach helps the pathologist make a clear determination on the cause of death. The aim of histopathology is to perfect the macroscopic diagnosis and act as an additional examination in forensic case management. One of the histopathology methods in the forensic field is the paraffin method with hematoxylin eosin staining and special stains, immunohistochemistry, and MITS. The parameters observed with this method are measurements of pulmonary fat embolism; determining the age of myocardial infarction; assessment of liver steatosis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis; determination of the age of thrombus or thromboembolism; and diagnosis of shock with various diseases. The prospect of forensic histopathology is to complement molecular diagnostic methods, so that the combination of molecular and histology methods can play a maximum role in the field of forensic pathology. The conclusion of this literature review is that histopathology can be used to confirm the diagnosis in forensic cases and has good future prospects if combined with other methods such as molecular.
