Abstract

A high-fat diet (HFD) is associated with bone inflammatory processes that can affect bone remodeling balance. Osteocrin produced by periosteal osteoblasts correlates with osteoblast activity, is expressed on osteoblast-derived cells, and is localized in osteoblasts and young osteocytes. Propolis is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory in bone remodeling by inhibiting proinflammatory factors NF-κB and COX-2, reducing inflammatory suppression of cytokines responsible for osteoclast differentiation and osteoblast apoptosis. The flavonoid content increases the production of nitric oxide and osteoprotegerin, which enhances osteoblastogenesis. This study determined the effect of propolis administration on bone formation and resorption in bone previously damaged by an HFD. This research was conducted in the Animal Laboratory of Postgraduate Building Dipati Ukur and Genetics and Molecular Laboratory Eycman Building, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran. The research time was from January 2023–May 2024. Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: normal chow diet (NCD), NCD with propolis administration, HFD, and HFD with propolis administration. The 12-week-old rats were given an HFD for 12 weeks and then treated with propolis at a 300 mg/kgBW dose for nine weeks. The administration of propolis increased the ratio of osteoblasts-osteoclast cells in the femur of the HFD rats but did not affect periosteal osteocrin expression.

Abstract

Based on a preliminary survey, situational analysis and dialogue conducted by the FK Unisba service team and alumni at the Sabilunnajat Islamic boarding school, produced data that the need for information regarding health, especially clean and healthy living behavior, is still minimal. Seeing the high potential for medical graduates from Islamic educational institutions , it is appropriate to make various efforts by FK Unisba alumni to solve health problems in Islamic boarding schools. The aim of this activity is to make efforts to empower FK Unisba Alumni in improving the health of students at the Sabilunnajat Islamic boarding school through training healthy student cadres. The method of this activity consists of a preparatory stage in form of a Focused Group Discussion by FK UNISBA alumni to identify problems in the Islamic boarding school environment, followed by an implementation stage through health screening and therapy, provision of health facilities, counseling for santri and training for healthy santri cadres. The activity ended with the reporting stage to assess the success of the training of healthy santri cadres. The results of this PKM activity are a reduction in health problems, the availability of health facilities, and the formation of  health cadres  as an effort to overcome early stage health problems in the Sabilunnajat Islamic boarding school environment. The importance of the role of partnership and cooperation between various parties, especially the Islamic boarding school comittee, the UNISBA Medical Faculty, the contribution of alumni and authorities in policy making, is the key to the success in improving the level of health in the surrounding environment.
