Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminth infection remained a significant public health problem in many developing countries. Elementary school-age children dominated the cases in Indonesia due to poor personal hygiene. South Central Timor had the top three poverty and the highest stunting rates in East Nusa Tenggara. Research to examine the relationship between personal hygiene and the incidence of Soil-Transmitted Helminth infection had never been conducted in South Central Timor. The study population consisted of 279 elementary school students selected from Inpres Nulle Elementary School, Inpres Neonmat Elementary School, and GMIT Nulle Elementary School through the Multistage Random Sampling technique. It was obtained 160 children as the study samples. The study found that 46 children (29.0%) were positive for STH, and 114 (71.0%) were negative for STH. Furthermore, 30 (65.2%) were positive for hookworm, 14 (30.4%) were positive for Ascaris lumbricoides, and 2 (4.4%) children had mixed infections. Multiple Logistic Regression Tests showed a significant effect of washing hands with soap after defecating with p = 0.031 and OR = 7.158. Thus, if a child did not wash his hands with soap after defecating, he had a risk of STH infection by 7.158 times. Furthermore, the effect of eating habits obtained a p = 0.038 and an OR value = 0.133 with the possibility of eating habits that did not protect against STH infection. In addition, the effect of dirty nails obtained a p=0.064 and an OR=5.264, which indicated the risk of contracting STH by 5.264 times. The effect of snacking habit obtained a p = 0.005 and an OR=0.121. It can be concluded that the incidence of STH was simultaneously influenced by the habit of defecating on the ground, washing hands without soap after defecation, eating raw food, having dirty nails, and having poor snacking habits.

Abstract

Pewarna giemsa adalah salah satu kandungan dalam limbah cair yang dihasilkan dari akvitas laboratorium di Prodi Teknologi Labooratorium Medis, Poltekkes Kemenkes Kupang. Salah satu cara untuk menangani limbah tersebut adalah menggunakan adsorben cangkang telur ayam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh waktu kontak dan pH terhadap efektivitas adsorpsi pewarna giemsa oleh cangkang telur ayam. Cangkang telur dipreparasi dengan dihaluskan dan diayak dengan ayakan 100 mesh dilanjutkan dengan pemanasan pada suhu 105℃ selama 1,5 jam. Proses adsorpsi dilakukan dengan variasi waktu kontak 20; 40; 60; 80 dan 100 menit sedangkan variasi pH pada pH 4; 7 dan 11. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kondisi optimum terjadi pada waktu kontak 80 menit dan pH 4 dengan daya adsorpsi sebesar 26.45% dan kapasitas adsorpsi sebesar 13.178 mg/g.

Abstract

Fever is a condition where the body temperature exceeds 37°C above the normal limit. The administration of antipyretic drugs aims to reduce the temperature in the hypothalamus by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which prevents the formation of prostaglandins. The mentaos plant (Wrightia pubescens R.BR.) is known to have flavonoid, tannin, saponin, alkaloid, and steroid chemical compounds. The purpose of this study was to determine the antipyretic activity of mentaos leaf extract (Wrightia pubescens R.BR.) and to determine the most optimal dose as an antipyretic from mentaos leaf extract (Wrightia pubescens R.BR.). The method used was the pretest-posttest-only control design method. Group I was given Na-CMC 0.5% as a negative control, Group II was given paracetamol 9 mg/kgBB as a positive control, and Groups III, IV, and V were given mentaos leaf extract at doses of 120 mg/kgBB, 160 mg/kgBB, and 200 mg/kgBB, respectively. The results of statistical analysis showed that there was antipyretic activity in the three doses of mentaos leaf extract (Wrightia pubescens R.BR.) and that the optimal antipyretic effect was in the third dose group of mentaos leaf extract, 200 mg/KgBB.
