Abstract

Introduction – Anxiety in pregnancy poses a bad risk to the fetus. Pregnancy anxiety puts the fetus at risk for problems like delayed fetal growth. These risks can affect the quality of maternal and infant health. The use of music as therapy can be used to help overcome anxiety, especially in pregnant women. This paper will try to find out the effectiveness of listening to music as therapy against anxiety in third-trimester pregnant women. Methods – Literature obtained from Google Scholar, Elsevier, and Pubmed databases with a period of 2018 to 2023. Results – Findings from kinds of literature on the use of music therapy in managing anxiety during pregnancy are very effective in lowering anxiety levels. Discuss – Music is a non-pharmaceutical intervention that can be used as therapy. The therapeutic influence that music has on the body and mind helps balance out unpleasant feelings. Conclusion – Using music as therapy during the third trimester has beneficial effects in reducing anxiety. Therefore, the use of music therapy is expected to be used as a nonpharmacological method to reduce anxiety in pregnancy.   Keywords: music, anxiety, pregnancy.

Abstract

The effect of cigarette smoke exposure on reproductive health has been widely studied, showing various physiological disorders induced by free radicals and oxidative stress. This study aimed to assess the protective effect of ethanol extract of black garlic (Allium sativum) on some reproductive parameters of female rats Rattus norvegicus exposed to subacute cigarette smoke. A proper experimental method with a post-test-only control group design was used, involving 25 rats divided into five groups with three different doses of the extract. The rats were exposed to cigarette smoke and then treated for 28 days. Results showed a significant decrease in ovarian Malondialdehyde levels and increased fallopian tube smooth muscle thickness in the extract-treated group. In addition, black garlic extract successfully increased the number of endometrial arterioles in the group exposed to cigarette smoke and extract, in contrast to the group exposed to cigarette smoke only. This study concludes that black garlic extract has the potential to be a protective agent against oxidative damage in the reproductive system of rats exposed to cigarette smoke, with effectiveness that depends on the dose of extract given. Further studies should investigate the long-term effects and optimal dosing of black garlic extract in humans. Additionally, exploring the molecular mechanisms behind its protective properties could enhance its application in reproductive health management.

Abstract

Cigarette smoke exposure significantly impairs reproductive function in Rattus norvegicus. This study evaluated the protective effects of black garlic extract against such damage. Using a post-test-only control group design, 25 female Wistar rats were divided into five groups and exposed to cigarette smoke with or without varying doses of black garlic extract. After four weeks, results indicated that black garlic extract significantly increased Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor expression, enhanced fallopian tube secretory epithelial cell counts, and reduced ovarian follicular atresia in rats exposed to cigarette smoke. The group receiving 50 mg/kgBW of black garlic extract showed the most significant improvements. Statistical analysis, including One-way ANOVA, revealed significant differences between groups. Normality was assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, and homogeneity was confirmed with the Levene test. Significant decreases in ovarian follicular atresia (p < 0.05) and increases in Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor expression (p < 0.05) and secretory epithelial cell counts (p < 0.05) were observed in the 50 mg/kgBW treatment group compared to controls. In conclusion, black garlic extract offers dose-dependent protection against cigarette smoke-induced reproductive damage, with 50 mg/kgBW being the optimal dose. Further research should explore molecular mechanisms, long-term toxicity, and clinical applications in humans.
