Abstract

Dental caries is a common oral health problem, with Streptococcus mutans playing a key role. This bacterium metabolizes sucrose into lactic acid, leading to tooth enamel demineralization and cavities. Soursop (Annona muricata L.) plants, known for their antibacterial bioactive compounds, are often used traditionally to treat microbial infections. This study investigated the inhibitory effects of soursop leaf and fruit extracts on Streptococcus mutans growth using a completely randomized experimental design and the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Results showed that leaf and fruit extracts at 100% concentration exhibited the strongest inhibition (14.86 mm and 14.83 mm, respectively). The weakest inhibition was observed at 40% concentration (10.60 mm for leaf and 10.13 mm for fruit extracts). However, the average inhibition diameters for both soursop extracts were smaller than the positive control’s average of 27.80 mm. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that Soursop leaf and fruit extracts (Annona muricata L.) possess antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans.

Abstract

This study examines changes in the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for Serang City between 2019 and 2023 to quantify vegetation density and health in the face of urbanization. Using Sentinel-2 satellite data and GIS analysis, it investigates how urban development, climate change, and land use influence plant cover. The findings indicate a substantial decrease in high vegetation from 13,089.791 hectares in 2019 to 12,296.742 hectares in 2023, accompanied by increases in tiny vegetation and aquatic zones. Statistical experiments show that urban expansion is a significant cause of vegetation loss, with climate changes impacting sparsely vegetated areas. This study emphasizes the dynamic interplay between urban expansion and climate conditions in generating vegetation trends, providing essential information for urban planners and politicians. The results demonstrate the necessity for focused reforestation and sustainable urban development to save green places, enhance environmental quality, and alleviate the adverse effects of urbanization. Immediate urban planning initiatives are recommended to combat vegetation loss, promote sustainable development, and increase resistance to environmental change.

Abstract

Jamblang fruit (Syzygium cumini) is used to treat diabetes mellitus, pain, inflammation, ulcers, and diarrhea, and in recent research, it has been proven to be used as a chemopreventive, radioprotective, and antineoplastic. Jamblang fruit contains several ingredients, namely: alkaloids, saponins, tannins, triterpenoids, flavonoids, polyphenols, and buchard. However, it is necessary to ensure whether jamun is safe for consumption by pregnant women, and a teratogenic test is needed. This research aims to determine the effect of jamblang fruit extract on maternal weight, number of fetuses, fetal length, fetal weight, hemorrhage, and morphological abnormalities in the fetus. This research is included in quantitative research using experimental methods with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), which consists of 4 treatments and 5 replications. The experimental animals used were 20 female mice (Mus musculus) of the Balb/C strain, healthy mice aged 2 months, weighing 27-30 grams, and the mice were mature and ready to mate. Mice were divided into 4 treatment groups, namely the control group, the 100 mg/kgBB dose group, the 200 mg/kgBB dose group, and the 300 mg/kgBB dose group. Treatment doses of jamun fruit extract 70% ethanol are given on days 6 to 17 of pregnancy. Data analysis using SPSS showed that ethanol 70 % extract of jamblang fruit had no effect on maternal weight and fetal weight in mice (>0.05), but did affect fetal length, number of fetuses, hemorrhage, and morphological abnormalities in the form of open eyelids (p<0.05). Based on the research results, it can be concluded that administration of jamblang fruit ethanol extract can reduce fetal length and the number of fetuses. The 200 mg/kgBB and 300 mg/kgBB dose groups are doses that can cause teratogenic effects such as hemorrhage and open eyelids.
