Approximately 70-75% of reproductive women have experienced vulvovaginal candidiasis at least once, and 40-45% will have recurrences. Candida albicans is the most etiology of vulvovaginal candidiasis and is able to form a biofilm that can lead to antifungal resistances and recurrences. One of the natural products that have an anti biofilm effect is propolis. This study expected that propolis from Lawang can be one of the anti-biofilm agent candidates for antifungal resistant cases. This study aimed to know the anti-biofilm effect of propolis ethanol extract on cell adhesion index, morphology, and viability of Candida albicans cell on biofilm formation. The adhesion index was counted on 100 epithelial cells under light microscopy (1000x). Morphology was seen using light microscopy (400x). Cell viability was examined by CFU assay. At 12.5% concentration of propolis ethanol extract, adhesion index decreased (p=0,000), and hyphal growth was inhibited. Colony growth decreased at 2.5% concentration and was not seen at 10% concentration of propolis ethanol extract (p=0,000). These results indicated that propolis ethanol extract could decrease adhesion index, failed the Candida albicans morphology transition from yeast to hyphal, and decreased Candida albicans cell viability on biofilm formation. Propolis ethanol extract is likely to be one of the alternatives to recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis treatment, especially caused by Candida albicans biofilm formation.

The rs1800629 polymorphism plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of infectious and autoimmune diseases. Meanwhile, tuberculosis (TB) remains a health primary infectious disease in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the HRM method in detecting the rs1800629 genotype, in the TNF-α gene’s promoter region, within TB patients. The benefit of this study is to accelerate the detection of rs1800629 with a simple, rapid, and cost-effective method for genotyping and mutation screening that does not include the use of a fluorescent probe. In this experimental study, the rs1800629 genotyped in a total of 25 tuberculosis patients using KAPA HRM kit in MyGo Mini PCR, and all amplified PCR products subsequently dispatched for direct DNA sequencing to Macrogen Inc, South Korea. Based on the results, a 100% concordance find in the genotyping of rs1800629 between HRM and sequencing. The authors provided evidence to use HRM in detecting rs1800629 within the TNF-α promotor region. This application as a genotyping assay in tuberculosis patients is a low-cost, rapid, and accurate detection. However, further studies using the HRM method in case-control samples of tuberculosis are required to evaluate the method’s effectiveness and to obtain more information regarding the genotype’s susceptibility to tuberculosis and its adverse effect treatment, including anti-tuberculosis drug, induced liver injury (AT-DILI), and multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), within the Indonesian population.

Potato Dextrose Agar is growth and identification media of fungi that cause superficial mycoses, including Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes with 10–14 days growth period. Modification media is needed to accelerate the growth of the fungus. Zea mays saccharata has a high carbohydrate, and cow’s hair contains high keratin, which can be used as a nutrient to replace fungal growth media. The study aimed to obtain a modified media formula containing Zea mays saccharata as a substitute for dextrose and cow's hair as a source of keratin to accelerate the growth of Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes fungi. The modified media formula is mixing of Zea mays saccharata 15% to 25%, and cow's hair 20mg to 35mg. Acceleration of growth time based of when found microconidia and macroconidia, diameter measurements, and observations of texture and colonies color of Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The study results are Zea mays saccharata media with the addition of cow hair for Trichophyton rubrum grew 11 days with 10%+20mg formula and grew only seven days with 25%+35mg formula. Modified media for Trichophyton mentagrophytes grew seven days for 10%+20mg formula, while it was only three days with 25%+35mg formula. The media formula with the fastest growth rate for Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes was at a concentration of 25%+35mg. The Advanced Modified Media can become a patent medium for faster growth of superficial fungi at a lower cost. Further research needs to be done on how long this media can be stored for long-term use.

MiR-21 has been linked to tumorigenesis, development, and metastasis in tumor pathogenesis. All human cancers, including breast cancer, have increased expression of MiR-21, which is the only miRNA that has increased expression. PTEN expression was found to be reduced in the majority of solid tumors, including breast cancer. Since lymph node metastatic factors, estrogen receptor status, tumor grade, and tumor node metastasis (TNM) all decreased PTEN expression, the PTEN expression profile may be a very useful prognostic marker in breast cancer. PTEN inhibits PIP3 (phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate) activity by having protein phosphatase and lipid phosphatase activity that is the polar opposite of PI3K (Phosphatidyl Inositol 3-Kinase). The aim of this research was to see how often miR-21 and mRNA PTEN were expressed at different stages of breast cancer and whether they could be used as prognostic markers. This type of research is an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The sample size of 43 people came from breast cancer patients. Analysis of miR-21 expression and mRNA PTEN using Real-Time qPCR. The results showed that miR-21 expression increased 1.32 times at an advanced stage compared to an early stage, while mRNA PTEN expression decreased 1.33 fold at an advanced stage compared to an early stage. According to the findings, miR-21 expression in the blood plasma of breast cancer patients was upregulated at an advanced stage compared to an early stage and downregulated mRNA PTEN expression. MiR-21 which is increased at an advanced stage has the potential to be a poor prognostic marker at the stage of breast cancer. The change in miR-21 expression can be a good candidate as a molecular prognostic marker and for future research the role of miR-21 in breast cancer progression will further enrich the scientific repertoire, especially in the health and clinical fields.

Scabies infestation caused by Sarcoptes scabiei mite that infected the skin by making the tunnel burrow. Diagnosis of scabies infestation commonly relies on clinical assessment (CA). However, some scabies symptoms are similar to other diseases. Diagnosis of confirmed scabies can be made by identifying egg or Sarcoptes scabiei mite or scybala through skin scraping laboratory microscopic examination, which was the adhesive tape microscopic (AT) a noninvasive alternative. We aimed to compare the scabies diagnostic accuracy of CA and AT in Islamic Boarding School. This study was an analytical observational cross-sectional study. The population was 94 students of Islamic Boarding School, determining the sample base on purposive sampling technique. There were 34 samples with presumptive scabies analyzed with CA by two clinicians and AT by two trained laboratory technicians. The result showed that the number of patients who positive scabies by CA was 14 (41.18 percent) and 31 (91.18 percent) by AT. Sensitivity was 41.93 percent for CA and 92.85 percent for AT, and the difference was significantly based on Cohen's kappa (ⱪ=0.024). The number of positive cases with both techniques was 13 (38.24 percent). The number of patients positive with only CA was 1 (2.93 percent), and only AT was 18 (22.9 percent). The accuracy of CA was only 44,11 percent. The study concluded that CA is low accuracy than AT. The adhesive tape test is easy, needs no expensive equipment. It is recommended that adhesive tape test for screening purposes. The appropriate comprehensive of both methods for scabies diagnostic is highly recommended.

Liquid waste from sasirangan industrial activities has a high enough Chemical Oxygen Demand pollutant power. If it is directly discharged into water bodies, it can damage the environment and harm health. One of the first processes needs to be done by using activated corn cobs (Zea mays). This study aimed to analyze the ability of corn cobs charcoal to reduce levels of Chemical Oxygen Demand and increase the pH of sasirangan waste so that the results of this study can be an alternative to natural-based sasirangan waste treatment. This type of research is a pure experiment with a research design in One Group Pretest Posttest Design. The research material used was sasirangan industrial waste in Manarap Village, Kertak Hanyar District, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Chemical Oxygen Demand levels were determined by the closed reflux titrimetric method. The results showed that the addition of the highest dose of activated corncob charcoal (50 g) reduced the largest turbidity by 35 percent, increased the pH by 72 percent, and reduced the color intensity by 33 percent. The conclusion is that the addition of corncob-activated charcoal at a dose of 30gr, 40gr, 50gr can reduce levels of Chemical Oxygen Demand, respectively, namely 24 percent, 35 percent, and 33 percent. An increase in pH was found at the same dose of 46 percent, 62 percent, and 72 percent, respectively. There is an effect of increasing the mass of activated charcoal from corn cobs on the Chemical Oxygen Demand levels in the sasirangan industrial waste with a significance value of 0.007. It is suggested to use corn cobs-activated charcoal for the pretreatment stage of sasirangan industrial waste treatment.

Typhoid fever is a systemic infectious disease caused by Salmonella enteric serotype typhi. Laboratory tests are essential because the clinical symptoms of typhoid fever are not specific. The definitive diagnosis of typhoid fever make by culture isolation of Salmonella typhi, but this test is expensive and takes a long time. Other supporting tests that can do quickly are the Widal and Salmonella typhi IgM tests. This study aimed to determine the suitability between the results of the Widal test and the results of the anti-Salmonella typhi IgM test. This type of research is an observational analytic study determining the sample based on the accidental sampling technique. The number of samples taken was 42 samples. The results showed that the Widal Test in typhoid patients was 76% positive and 24% negative. Based on the anti-Salmonella typhi IgM test results in typhoid patients, 38% were positive, and 62% were negative. The study concluded a fragile agreement between the Widal test results and the results of the anti-Salmonella typhi IgM test. It recommended that the Widal test carried out for the initial examination and a quick community survey. The Tubex test highly recommends for diagnosis.

Puerperium infection contributed 11 percent of 48.17 percent of maternal mortality during the puerperium period; one of the causes of increased risk of puerperium infection was bacteria Gram-negative Escherichia coli. Puerperium infection occurred because bacteria enter through the vagina, wounds on the insertion of the placenta, and other parts spread to blood throughout the body and damage the spleen, liver, and uterus. This research aimed to determine the effect of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaves ethanol extract (Rtl-EE) as an antibacterial on the spleen, liver, and uterus of Escherichia coli -induced puerperal infection model mice. Mice in the postnatal treatment group were induced by Escherichia coli bacteria intravaginally and given different doses of ethanol extract of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaves. Examination of bacterial colonies growth used pour plate method with EMBA media. The research results showed that the administration of Rtl-EE decreased the growth of bacterial colonies respectively in the liver 1280, 924, 330 CFU/mL; the uterus 1806, 1180, 874 CFU/mL; and the spleen 712, 112, 774 CFU/mL. Colony growth started to decrease at dose 1 of Rtl-EE (100mg/kg BW) of mice model of Escherichia coli -induced puerperal infection. Rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaves contain active compounds - phenols, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids, and triterpenoids as antibacterial. Rtl-EE had an antibacterial effect by reducing the number of bacteria on the spleen, liver, and uterus of Escherichia coli -induced puerperal infection model mice. Further research needs to conduct to examine the toxic dose of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaves against Escherichia coli bacteria.
