Abstract

Streptococcus pyogenes caused different illnesses, including pharyngitis and dermatological infections. The Dersono water apple leavesSyzygium malaccense) are recognized for their bioactive ingredients, which may serve as antibacterial agents. This study purpose was to determine the antibacterial potential of ethanol extract and acetone fraction of Syzygium malaccense against Streptococcus pyogenes infection. This research was a laboratory xperiment, a post-test only with control group design. Assessing growth inhibition by measuring the diameter of halo around the well of blood agar plate. Statistical tests using the Sapiro-Wilk test, Lavene test, Kruskal Wallis est and Mann-Whitney test. The study's findings demonstrated that the ethanol extract 25% (11.80 mm) and 50% (16.51) concentrations and acetone fraction of Dersono water apple leaves, at 25% (11.25 mm) and 50% (12.08) concentrations, had strong inhibitory power. The concentrations of 6.25% (8.15 mm) and 12.50% (9.63 mm), the ethanol extract's inhibitory power was superior than the concentrations of 6.25% (4.42 mm) and 12.50% (3.38 mm) acetone fraction, had moderate range. Both the ethanol extract and the acetone fraction's phytochemical analyses identified alkaloids, tannins, and saponins. The conclusion was ethanol extract and acetate fraction of Dersono water apple leaves have antibacterial effects against Streptococcus pyogenes.

Abstract

Rinitis Medikamentosa (RM) merupakan bentuk rinitis non-alergi yang muncul akibat penggunaan kronis dekongestan topikal dan ditandai oleh obstruksi nasal persisten, perubahan histopatologis pada mukosa, serta risiko ketergantungan yang dapat memperburuk gejala dari waktu ke waktu. Narrative review ini bertujuan meninjau secara komprehensif aspek diagnosis, terapi, serta upaya pencegahan RM berdasarkan literatur terkini. Penelusuran artikel dilakukan melalui PubMed dan Google Scholar pada rentang tahun 2015–2025 dan menghasilkan 62 artikel, dengan 10 di antaranya memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan dianalisis lebih lanjut. Hasil telaah menunjukkan bahwa diagnosis RM terutama ditegakkan melalui anamnesis mengenai riwayat penggunaan dekongestan berlebihan, disertai pemeriksaan fisik yang umumnya memperlihatkan kongesti nasal difus, edema mukosa, dan eritema yang dapat dikonfirmasi melalui rinoskopi. Faktor risiko yang berkontribusi mencakup kebiasaan merokok, inflamasi mukosa kronis, paparan iritan lingkungan, serta kondisi psikologis tertentu yang mendorong penggunaan obat secara berulang. Tata laksana utama RM adalah penghentian dekongestan secara bertahap atau total, yang kemudian ditunjang dengan pemberian kortikosteroid intranasal, irigasi saline, serta intervensi bedah pada kasus refrakter yang tidak merespons terapi konservatif. Selain itu, edukasi pasien mengenai penggunaan obat yang benar, potensi efek samping, serta strategi pencegahan kekambuhan menjadi komponen penting dalam upaya menekan angka kejadian RM. Kombinasi pendekatan farmakologis, non-farmakologis, edukatif, dan prosedural menjadi strategi paling rasional dan efektif dalam tata laksana komprehensif RM.

Abstract

Introduction: Acne vulgaris (AV) is an inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous follicles that commonly affects adolescents and young adults. AV is influenced by multiple factors, including diet and the use of cosmetic products such as sunscreen. This study aimed to analyze the association of dietary patterns and the quality of SPF ≥ 30 sunscreen use with AV among Generation Z university students. Methods: This analytical observational study used a cross-sectional design and included 108 eligible respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires on dietary patterns and quality of sunscreen use, as well as a clinical examination for AV. Bivariate analysis was performed using Fisher’s exact test. Results: Dietary patterns among Generation Z were not significantly associated with the presence of acne vulgaris (p = 0.609). The quality of SPF ≥ 30 sunscreen use was also not significantly associated with the incidence of acne vulgaris (p = 0.441). Conclusion: Neither dietary patterns nor the quality of SPF ≥ 30 sunscreen use showed a statistically significant association with the incidence of acne vulgaris in the study sample. Further studies with larger populations and multivariable analyses are needed to evaluate other potential confounding factors.
