Abstract

Obesity is a condition where excessive fat is accumulated, which poses a health risk. Several treatments for obesity have been carried out, ranging from lifestyle adjustments to medication to surgery. Corrosolic acid (CA) is a natural compound that has the potential to act as an obesity agent through many mechanisms, including through reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study aims to prove that CA can reduce MDA levels and HMG-CoA reductase levels and increase leptin levels and GLP-1 levels in male Wistar rats with obesity. Wistar obese rats were orally treated with CA compound induction at a dose of 10 mg/Kg BW. MDA, HMG-CoA reductase, leptin and GLP-1 levels were examined using serum and plasma from mice in both groups of mice before and after treatment, using the ELISA method. CA to the treatment group can reduce the body weight of rat MDA levels significantly at p<0.0001, HMG-CoA reductase levels significantly at p<0.0001 and increase leptin and GLP-1 levels significantly at p<0.0001. CA's mechanism for treating obesity is through the ROS mechanism because CA has antioxidant levels that can capture free radicals in the body.CA has been proven to be an alternative drug in treating obesity by reducing body weight, MDA, and HMG-CoA levels and increasing leptin and GLP-1 levels in obese Wistar rats.

Abstract

Ziziphus mauritiana leaves have traditionally been used to treat various ailments, particularly those related to inflammation and infection. This therapeutic potential is presumed to be associated with its content of bioactive compounds exhibiting antioxidant activity. This study aimed to identify secondary metabolites and evaluate the antioxidant activity of Z. mauritiana leaf extract. Phytochemical screening was conducted using specific reagent methods, while antioxidant activity was measured using the DPPH radical scavenging assay. The results revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, tannins, and saponins, with saponins being the most abundant (89.8%). The extract also showed considerable levels of flavonoids (12.8%) and phenolics (9.72%), contributing to its antioxidant potential. The DPPH assay indicated a concentration-dependent increase in inhibition, with an IC₅₀ value of 92.58 µg/mL, suggesting moderate to strong antioxidant activity. These findings highlight the potential of Z. mauritiana leaf extract as a natural source of bioactive compounds for the development of phytopharmaceutical products.

Abstract

Process efficiency is a key factor in improving the quality of healthcare services, especially in outpatient facilities such as clinics. This study presents a case study at Promec Clinic in Jakarta, aiming to identify bottlenecks and design process improvement recommendations to reduce end-to-end lead time. A descriptive and explanatory quantitative approach was employed, integrating Time and Motion Study (TMS) and Value Stream Mapping (VSM) as primary analysis tools. Data were collected through direct observation of 100 patients, interviews with staff, and operational process satisfaction questionnaires. The results indicate that the "during examination" stage contributes 73.6% of the total service time, while the "before examination" stage is the primary source of operational errors, particularly in form filling (45.59%) and data entry (39.71%). Pareto and Fishbone analyses reveal that manual procedures, lack of standardization, and reliance on informal communication are root causes of inefficiency. Improvement recommendations include digitizing patient forms using a dedicated registration system, implementing self-service kiosks, conducting periodic staff training, and developing Lean-based Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). These findings offer practical contributions for clinic management in designing more efficient processes and serve as a reference for applying Lean methodologies in primary healthcare settings in Indonesia.
