Abstract

Escherichia coli is the most common bacteria that cause diarrhea. Based on Kurniawati’s research, ethanol extract of tamarind leaves has an antimicrobial effect to Escherichia coli. This study aims to determine the antimicrobial effect using disk diffusion method, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of tamarind leaves infusion against Escherichia coli. This research was done using a real laboratory experimental design with tamarind leaves infusion and Escherichia coli microbes as the research objects. Zones of inhibition were observed using disk diffusion method by putting the tamarind leaves infusion disks on Mueller-Hinton agars with Ampicillin antibiotic for comparison, followed by observing the MIC using macro broth dilution method  and MBC. The result of disk diffusion showed that tamarind leaves infusion had no zone of inhibition, whereas the mean value of the zones of inhibition of ampicillin is 17.2 mm. The MIC of tamarind leaves infusion is 62.5 mg/mL. Average growth of bacteria  for the MBC of tamarind leaves infusion at 125 mg/mL and 62.5 mg/mL concentration are 13 CFU/mL and >300 CFU/mL. It can be concluded that tamarind leaves infusion has antimicrobial activity effect against E.coli and that effect is bacteriostatic. Keywords: Tamarindus indica Linn, Escherichia coli, MIC, MBC

Abstract

Obesity is a condition of excess and abnormal fat accumulation. Obese adolescents are atgreater risk of developing iron deficiency anemia with microcytic hypochromic red blood cells(RBC). Iron deficiency in obesity relates to low iron intake, abnormal iron absorption, andincreased iron utilization. The aim of this study was to determine iron intake, hemoglobin level,and RBC indices in faculty of medicine students with obesity. We used descriptive cross-sectional method, involving year of 2016 students in Faculty of Medicine PadjadjaranUniversity with obesity. Pregnant women and students with previous history of thallasemia oranemia were excluded. Iron intake was assessed using Food Frequency Questionnaire.Hemoglobin level and RBC indices were measured in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. Ironintake of male subjects were adequate in 62,5% subjects and low in 37,5% subjects. Iron intakein female subjects were adequate in 20% subjects and low in 80% subjects. Male hemoglobinlevel were normal and 20% of female subjects had anemia. All male subjects were normochromnormocytic, 40% female subjects were hypochrom microcytic.Keywords: adolescents, hemoglobin level, iron intake, obesity, red blood cell indices

Abstract

High-intensity physical exercises can increase oxidative stress, causing damage to reproductive system. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of mangosteen peel extract on sperm motility and  sperm count of  Swiss Webster mice induced by high-intensity physical exercise. This was a real experimental with complete randomized design. Twenty five  male Swiss Webster mice were divided into five groups (n = 5). Negative control (KN) was without any treatment, positive control (KP) was given  treadmill exercise only, the treatment groups (KM1, KM2, KM3) were given mangosteen peel extract orally 2, 4, 8 mg respectively as well as treadmill exercises. The treadmill exercises was conducted for 35 days. The sperm motility (mm/second) and the sperm count (per mm3) were assessed manually using Improved Neaubauer chamber. The result were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey HSD. The result showed high significant differences of sperm motility and sperm count between KM2 and KP, also between KM2 with  KM1 and  KM3 (p=0,000). The conclusion was mangosteen peel extract improved the sperm motility and sperm count of Swiss Webster mice induced by high-intensity physical exercise with 4 mg as the optimal dose. Keywords: mangosteen peel, sperm motility, sperm count

Abstract

Meningioma is an intracranial tumor that generally involves meninges. This tumor canbe found along the dura layers at the skull base. Meningioma has vast vascularization from thearteries near dura attachment. Pre-operative embolization technique is an effective strategy toprevent intra-operative complications and better outcomes. The patient was a 24 year-oldwoman who has been complaining of headaches since 2 months ago. The CT Scan resulted in a12 x 9 x 7 cm isodense mass in the left temporoparietal enhanced homogenously by contrast.Pre-operative embolization was performed on the tumor feeding artery as a strategy to preventintra-operative blood loss. A left frontotemporosphenoidal craniotomy was performed 10 daysafter embolization to remove the tumor. A complete resection was successfully achieved withless intraoperative blood loss and without complication. The pathology examination resulted inmeningotheliomatous meningioma. A follow-up picture showed no recurrent tumor afterresection and the patient had no symptoms and neurological deficits until 6 months after thesurgery. In conclusion, meningioma is a common intracranial tumor with a lot of blood supply.However, tumor resection can be safely and efficaciously performed with good pre-operativestrategy.Keywords: brain tumor, embolization, meningioma, resection, skullbase

Abstract

Colorectal cancer has provided a paradigm for the connection between inflammation and cancer. Modulation of intracellular signaling involved in chronic inflammatory response by anti-inflammatory agents represents an important strategy in molecular target-based chemoprevention. The aim of this research is to study the effect of buah merah oil on  IL-6  serum level and histopathology of colon in colitis-associated cancer (CAC) mice model. BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groups. The negative control and buah merah control were given aquabidest and buah merah, respectively, without CAC induction. The AOM/DSS control and buah merah treatment were given azoxymethane (AOM) followed by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) to induce CAC. The AOM/DSS control was given aquabidest while the buah merah treatment was given buah merah. Data were analyzed by One-Way ANOVA continued with Tukey-HSD. The result showed that IL-6 level in mice administrated with buah merah was significantly lower than the AOM/DSS control (p=0.000). Histopathological analysis scores  of colon were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis continued with Mann-Whitney. The result showed that histopathological analysis score in buah merah treatment was significantly lower than in the AOM/DSS control (p=0.002). Taken together, buah merah oil lowered IL-6 level and histopathological analysis score of colon in CAC mice model. Keywords: CAC, buah merah oil,  IL-6 level, histopathological  analysis scores of  colon

Abstract

Mangosteen pericarps contains fenolic antioxidant, such as xanthone that acts as free radical scavenging substances and preventing heme polymerization. In this research we evaluated the effect of ethanolic extract of mangosteen pericarps on the parasitemia in Plasmodium berghei-inoculated mice and compared its antimalarial activity with artemisinin monotherapy in reducing the parasitemia in Plasmodium berghei-inoculated mice. Deutschland Denken Yoken (DDY)  mice were randomly divided into 5 groups and inoculated by Plasmodium berghei and given 0.1 mL aquadest (KN), 0.1 mg of artemisinin (KP), 2.5 mg (E1), 0.5 mg (E2) and 0,1 mg (E3) of ethanolic extract from mangosteen pericarps in 0.1 mL aquadest in 3 days. The parasitemia was observed on one day before the treatment, namely on the first day and on the day after the last treatment. We found a highly significant decrease highly significant decrease of the parasitemia in each treatment group compared to the Negative Control group (p < 0.01), and the decrease of parasitemia level in E1 group is similar to the artemisinin monotherapy group (p < 0.05).  Keywords: ethanol extract of mangosteen pericarps, artemisinin, Plasmodium berghei, malaria
