Abstract

Elevated blood cholesterol levels are known to be a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Hypercholesterolemia can trigger atherosclerosis, which in turn increases the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. One approach to managing cholesterol levels is through the use of natural ingredients with antihyperlipidemic activity. White turmeric (Curcuma zedoaria Rosc) is an herbal plant long used in traditional medicine and contains bioactive compounds such as curcuminoids and essential oils. These compounds are reported to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, as well as potential as agents for lowering blood lipid levels. Herbal-based therapies are increasingly considered as safe alternatives to synthetic drugs in managing hyperlipidemia. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a microencapsulated preparation of white turmeric ethanol extract in reducing total cholesterol levels in male rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced by a high-fat diet. The study was conducted experimentally using 25 rats divided into six treatment groups. The groups consisted of normal controls, negative controls, positive controls using simvastatin, and three treatment groups given white turmeric extract microcapsules at concentrations of 0.25%, 0.50%, and 0.75%. The microencapsulation technique was applied to improve the stability and bioavailability of the turmeric extract. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after treatment. The results showed that the treatment group with the 0.25% concentration produced the most significant cholesterol reduction, from 110 mg/dL to 59 mg/dL. These findings indicate that even at a relatively low concentration, microencapsulated turmeric extract can significantly reduce cholesterol levels in vivo. Therefore, it can be concluded that white turmeric extract in microcapsule form is effective in lowering total cholesterol levels, especially at the 0.25% dose. This suggests that Curcuma zedoaria microcapsules hold promise as a natural therapeutic option for managing hypercholesterolemia and reducing cardiovascular risk.

Abstract

Hypertension s a chronic condition with a high prevalence that can lead to cardiovascular complications if patients do not adhere to medication regimens and the medication adherence is on of the primary key to therapeutic success. However, low adherence rates remain a significant challenge, often linked to insufficient patient understanding. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge of hypertensive patients and their medication adherence at Royal Prima Hospital. This research method employed a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach involving 78 outpatient respondents selected through purposive sampling. Demographic data were analyzed using the Chi-Square Test, while the relationship between the main variables was tested with Spearman Correlation. The results showed that the majority of respondents had a sufficient level of knowledge (52.6%) and moderate adherence (48.7%). The Spearman Correlation test yielded a coefficient value (rₛ) of 0.803 with p < 0.001, indicating a very strong and significant positive relationship between the level of knowledge and medication adherence. Conversely, the Chi-Square Test results showed no significant association between demographic characteristics and adherence. It is concluded that knowledge is a crucial determinant influencing treatment adherence among hypertensive patients.

Abstract

Acne is a common dermatological condition caused by the bacterial infection of Propionibacterium acnes, leading to skin inflammation. Red galangal (Alpinia purpurata K. Schum) is known to exhibit antibacterial activity due to its essential oil content, flavonoids, and alkaloids. This study aims to formulate and evaluate the antibacterial activity of a gel preparation based on red galangal rhizome essential oil against Propionibacterium acnes. The research follows a laboratory experimental design, including the extraction of red galangal rhizome essential oil via maceration, formulation of the gel, and evaluation of its physical properties, such as pH, homogeneity, spreadability, and antibacterial activity using the disc diffusion method. The results demonstrated that the gel formulation met the required physicochemical standards, with a pH ranging from 6.4 to 6.8, good homogeneity, and an optimal spreadability of 5–7 cm. The antibacterial test revealed a significant inhibitory effect against Propionibacterium acnes, with an inhibition zone of up to 11.24 mm at a 15% concentration. These findings suggest that red galangal rhizome essential oil possesses strong antibacterial potential, making it a promising candidate for natural topical acne treatment. In conclusion, the red galangal essential oil gel exhibits favorable antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes and has potential as an alternative acne treatment. Further studies are necessary to enhance the stability and efficacy of the formulation for optimal clinical applications.
