Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk menguji aktivitas antioksidan minuman sari buah markisa “Seeowrens” sebagai bagian dari upaya peningkatan kualitas produk dan nilai tambah bagi konsumen. Uji laboratorium dilakukan menggunakan metode DPPH (Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl) untuk mengukur kapasitas antioksidan dari produk teh markisa. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa minuman tersebut berada dalam kategori sedang berdasarkan nilai IC₅₀ yang diperoleh. Temuan ini tidak hanya memberikan validasi ilmiah terhadap manfaat kesehatan produk, tetapi juga mendukung strategi promosi dan pengembangan produk berbasis fitokimia lokal.

Abstract

Depression is a serious psychological disorder that requires long-term therapy. The use of synthetic antidepressants such as fluoxetine often causes side effects and complex drug interactions, thus encouraging the search for herbal alternatives. This study evaluated the antidepressant activity of ethanol extract of bitter melon fruit (Momordica charantia L.) through the Forced Swim Test (FST) method in male Balb/c mice. Four treatment groups were used: negative control (aquadest), positive control (fluoxetine 120 mg/kgBB), comparative control (stelazine), and bitter melon extract (270 mg/kgBB). The results of the FST test showed that bitter melon extract significantly reduced the immobility time of mice (p = 0.005), equivalent to fluoxetine and stelazine. Phytochemical tests identified the presence of flavonoids, triterpenoids, alkaloids, saponins, and polyphenols, which are thought to contribute to antidepressant activity through increased monoamine levels and neuroprotective effects. The conclusion is that ethanol extract of bitter melon shows strong potential as an herbal antidepressant agent comparable to fluoxetine, as well as being feasible to be developed as a phytopharmaceutical for depression therapy.

Abstract

Acute diarrhea is diarrhea more than fourteen days and is generally caused by microbial infection. The principles management of acute diarrhea are rehydration, symptomatic therapy, and selective and rational antibiotic therapy. Previous study shown antibiotic prescriptions for diarrhea therapy are still quite high, a study at the Bangsal Puskesmas in Mojokerto Regency showed that 27% was inappropriate for the indication. The aim this study was to evaluate the rationality of using antibiotics for diarrhea in toddlers. This study is a descriptive study with retrospective data collection from the medical records of toddler diarrhea patients at the Puskesmas Beji in Depok City in 2021 who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the study showed the use of antibiotics such as metronidazole, amoxicillin, and cotrimoxazole was the right choice because it was in accordance with the choice of antibiotic therapy for acute diarrhea with specific indications, however the results of the evaluation of antibiotic prescriptions were not appropriate indications there was still a high number 62,5% of antibiotic prescriptions for patients with non-specific acute diarrhea. Antibiotic prescriptions must be based on the bacteria causing the infection so it is very necessary to be supported by data from laboratory tests.
