Abstract

Breast cancer may cause a death due to the late diagnosis. A cheap and accurate tool for early detection of this disease is essential to prevent fatal incidence. In general, the cheap and less invasive method to diagnose the disease could be done by biopsy using fine needle aspirates from breast tissue. However, rapid and accurate identification of the cancer cell pattern from the cell biopsy is still challenging task. This diagnostic tool can be developed using machine learning as a classification problem. The performance of the classifier depends on the interrelationship between sample sizes, some features, and classifier complexity. Thus, the removal of some irrelevant features may increase classification accuracy. In this study, a new hybrid feature selection fast correlation based feature (FCBF) and information gain (IG) was used to select features on identifying breast cancer using AIRS algorithm. The results of 10 times the crossing (CF) of our validation on various AIRS seeds indicate that the proposed method can achieve the best performance with accuracy =0.9797 and AUC=0.9777 at k=6 and seed=50.

Abstract

Maintaining immunoglobulin levels in the body is important to protect the body from exposure to pathogens. One effort can be made by consuming herbs containing immunomodulatory compounds, such as Cheral®, which includes a combination of herbs Phyllanthus niruri and Curcuma longa. This research aims to determine the expression of immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) following the administration of Cheral® to Wistar rats. The study was conducted in vivo, utilizing 24 healthy male Wistar rats for a 90-day treatment period. The research was divided into four treatment groups, including a control group and three dosage groups: Dose 1 (156.25 mg/kg BW), Dose 2 (312.5 mg/kg BW), and Dose 3 (468.75 mg/kg BW). IgM and IgG were isolated from the spleen and analyzed using flow cytometry. Flow cytometry data were analyzed using SPSS with a one-way ANOVA and post hoc test (p-value <0.05). The analysis showed that the relative number of IgM-producing cells in the control group was significantly higher than in the treatment groups, with a difference of 44.40%. In contrast, the relative number of IgG-producing cells in Dose 3 was significantly lower than all other treatment groups, showing a decrease of 29.21%. Overall, the expression of IgG and IgM did not differ substantially across all treatments. The lower IgG and IgM profiles compared to the control group indicate Cheral®'s ability to prevent infections and maintain the immune system of the rats throughout the treatment period.

Abstract

The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Elephantopus scaber and Sauropus androgynus as anti-inflammatory agents in pregnant mice infected with Escherichia coli. This study used seven treatments group (n=3): K- (healthy pregnant mice), K+ (pregnant mice infected with E. coli), P1 (pregnant mice infected with E. coli + E. scaber 100%), P2 (pregnant mice infected with E. coli + E. scaber 75% and S. androgynus 25%), P3 (pregnant mice infected with E. coli + E. scaber 50% and S. androgynus 50%), P4 (pregnant mice infected with E. coli + E. scaber 25% and S. androgynus 75%), P5 (pregnant mice infected with E. coli + S. androgynus 100%). Flow cytometry analysis was used to analyze cell populations expressing CD4+TNFα+, CD4+IFNγ+ and regulatory T cells (CD4+CD25+CD62L+). All treatment groups significantly (p<0.05) decreased TNFα and IFNγ levels, while the P2 group was more effective in increasing regulatory T cells at the 1st and 2nd trimesters of the pregnancy. This study showed that E. scaber and S. androgynus combination alleviated inflammation by reducing inflammatory cytokines (TNFα and IFNγ) and increasing T-regulatory cells. Therefore, E. scaber and S. androgynus combination could suppress the inflammation during pregnancy and infection. Keywords: Elephantopus scaber, immune system, infection, inflammation, Sauropus androgynous.

Abstract

Endothelial dysfunction after high-intensity exercise occurs through various mechanisms characterized by decreased nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. This study aims to determine the relationship between circulating endothelial cells (CEC), endothelial progenitor cells (EPC), and endothelial dysfunction after high-intensity exercise through an experiment using male Wistar strain rats. This study uses the randomized control group posttest-only design. A total of 32 male Wistar rats aged 20-22 weeks with a body weight of 140±20 g were taken randomly and divided into two groups. Group 1 (n=16), the control group, was given low-intensity exercise. Meanwhile, group 2 (n=16), named the treatment group, was given high-intensity exercise. The groups were run on a special treadmill where light-intensity exercise is done at a speed of 5-8 meters.minute-1 for 30 minutes and high intensity at 25-30 meters.minute-1 for 30 minutes. The treatment was performed at 5 to 10 pm, 3 times weekly for 12 weeks. Blood and aortic tissue samples were taken after the mice were rested for 12 hours after the last exercise. ELISA and Flow cytometry measured NO, CEC, and EPC levels. This research showed that CEC and EPC expression and high-intensity exercise have a positive relationship, yet not significant to the occurrence of endothelial dysfunction (NO), with a value of Sig. (0.111); p > 0.05, and the relationship value is r = 0.414 (R²= 17.15%). In conclusion, endothelial dysfunction after high-intensity exercise is not associated with CEC and EPC expression, which indicates endothelial damage.  Keywords: exercise, circulating endothelial cells, endothelial dysfunction, endothelial progenitor cells, nitric oxide

Abstract

IL-6 and IL-17 are pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic cytokines that increase pulmonary fibrosis due to lung alveolar epithelial cell damage. Tapak liman leaves (Elephantopus scaber L.) have anti-inflammatory and anti-asthmatic properties. This study aimed to investigate the effects of the Elephantopus scaber L. ethanol extract (ESEE) on IL-6 and IL-17 produced by CD4+ and CD8+ in the bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis mice model. Fifty-six male BALB/c mice will be divided into seven groups consisting of healthy mice (N), vehicle mice (V), pulmonary fibrosis (PF), Dexamethasone (DEX) as a drug control, and three doses of ESEE (0.0504, 0.1008, and 0.2016 mg.kg-1 BW). ESEE will be administered orally, followed by intraperitoneal bleomycin injection for 14 days. Mice are then dissected on days 7 and 14, and the spleen will be isolated for analysis of the expression of IL-6 and IL-17. The results showed that ESEE effectively reduced levels of IL-6 and IL-17 cytokines produced by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and doses three of ESEE (0.2016 mg.kg-1 BW)  (0.2016 mg.kg-1 BW) showed the most effective reduction activity than the Dexamethasone group. The treatment was proven to reduce the expression of IL-6 and IL-17 in mice with a model of pulmonary fibrosis. Keywords: bleomycin, Elephantopus scaber L., IL-6, IL-17, pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract

Free radicals can cause oxidative damage if they are produced in excess amounts in the body. To prevent this, the work of endogenous antioxidants needs to be supported by safe and effective exogenous antioxidants. Clinacanthus nutans is one of the sources of natural polyphenol compounds that have the potential to be used as free radical-scavenging agents. The study began with the extraction of C. nutans simplicia with microwave assisted extraction (MAE) using a 96% ethanol solvent. The amounts of phenols and flavonoids in the extract was then measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminium chloride techniques, and their antioxidant activity was assessed using the 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and nitric oxide (NO) scavenging assays. Based on the results of the study, it is known that C. nutans ethanolic extract contains higher flavonoids (238.29 ± 10.87 mgQE.g-1) than the total phenols (148.76 ± 1.26 mgGAE.g-1). This study also showed the potential of C. nutans extract as a free-radical scavenger with an IC50 from the NO-scavenging and DPPH assays of 28.37 ± 3.38 ppm and 117.84 ± 3.93 ppm, respectively. Despite the presence of high polyphenol content in the extract, its antioxidant activity was found to be relatively weak. Consequently, further study is necessary to ascertain the specific class of compounds responsible for its antioxidant activity and to assess its effectiveness.

Abstract

Combination herbal or polyherbal offers advantages by synergizing multiple plants to address health issues more effectively. Meniran and turmeric are traditionally used medicinal plants with notable pharmacological activities due to their bioactive compounds. This study investigated the curative effect of a meniran-turmeric extract combination on immunocompetent cells, particularly NK and CD8 cells, and on liver histopathology in mice administered 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA). Female BALB/c mice (Mus musculus) were injected subcutaneously with DMBA at 45 mg/kg body weight (BW) in the mammary gland area and maintained for eight weeks. They were then treated with a 1:1 meniran-turmeric extract combination for two weeks at doses of 100, 300, 900, and 1,800 mg/kg BW, followed by liver and immune cell analyses. The results showed a lower CD8+ T-cell population in extract-treated groups (17.53±1.13%-19.79±1.51%) compared with the DMBA group (20.92±4.74%). Conversely, NK+ cell populations increased after extract treatment (0.33±0.01%-0.56±0.13%) compared with DMBA alone (0.27±0.02%). Liver histopathology indicated that extract combination administration did not cause more severe damage than that observed in the DMBA group. An extract combination of meniran and turmeric could modulate the immune system, particularly NK and CD8 cells, in mice injected with DMBA. In addition, the study indicated that the combination of meniran and turmeric extract might play a role as an antihepatotoxic agent. This research could serve as a consideration for future studies developing a combination formulation of meniran and turmeric.
