Abstract

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis is still one of the main health problems in the world. Treatment of TB cases is one of the main strategies for controlling TB because it can break the chain of transmission. Anti-tuberculosis drugs can kill and inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, but the use of these drugs can have side effects on different organs, especially the hematological system. Aims: This study aims to determine the hematological profile of tuberculosis patients undergoing treatment. Methods: The type of research used is descriptive quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. The independent variable is pulmonary TB patients undergoing treatment, the dependent variable is the hematological profile with a sample of 70 tuberculosis patients whose specimens were taken in the form of venous blood with K3EDTA anticoagulant. The results: frequency of anemia in male TB 32 people and female 14 people, followed by a decrease in hemoglobin levels, hematocrit and erythrocyte count. The absolute value of the erythrocyte index in tuberculosis patients was found to be a normal MCV value (77%) and decreased by 23%. MCH values were normal in tuberculosis patients (89%) and 11% experienced a decrease. For MCHC and RDW CV, it was found that there was an increase in values above the reference values, however, TB patients (83%) had normal MCHC values and 17% had increased MCHC values. Likewise, 87% of RDW CV had normal RDW CV values and 13% of tuberculosis patients had increased RDW CV values. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate in TB patients increased in men by 63% and women by 50%. Conclusions: TB patients undergoing treatment have normal leukocyte and platelet counts. From the results of leukocyte examination, 85% of patients had normal leukocyte counts, 12% leukocytosis and 3% leukopenia. The number of platelets in tuberculosis patients is 93% normal, 1% thrombocytopenia and 6% thrombocytosis.Keywords: Hematology, Tuberculosis Patients, Pulmonary TB

Abstract

Background: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are Gram-positive bacteria with probiotic properties, contributing to digestive health by balancing gut microflora. These bacteria are commonly found in fermented products, including gambut tape, a traditional Indonesian fermented food from Kalimantan. Gambut tape is known for its distinctive green color derived from katuk and pandan leaves.Objective:  This study aims to isolate and identify LAB from the gambut tape. Methods: LAB were isolated using Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe (MRS) agar and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. Identification was performed through biochemical tests, including Gram staining, catalase, citrate, H2S, motility, indole, carbohydrate fermentation, methyl red, and Voges-Proskauer tests.Results:  Three isolates were obtained, exhibiting similar morphological features: milky white color, round shape, intact edges, convex elevation, and smooth surface. Biochemical results suggested that the isolates are identical to Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus fermentum.Conclusions: The LAB isolated from the gambut tape shows potential as an antibacterial agent for disease prevention. Further research is needed to evaluate their antibacterial activity and characterize bacteriocins produced by these LAB.

Abstract

Background: Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is an examination that aims to determine the speed of erythrocytes settling in the blood measured for 1 hour. The examination of ESR performed within 2 hours at most. However, the examination is often not performed immediately due to several reasons that cause delays for several hours. The room temperature during the examination affects the examination. The temperature in West Java has the highest average reaching 32°C. Aims: To determine an effect of EDTA blood storage time and room temperature on the examination of ESR. Method: This research is included in the type of quasi eksperimental research by involving variations in blood storage time immediately, 4 hours, and 5 hours and room temperature during examination is room temperature 20-25oC and temperature 29-32oC. Result: The result of this study showed that there was a significant effect of the variable EDTA blood storage time and room temperature on the examination of ESR which is indicated by the value of Sig. 0,00 (Sig. 0,05). This is because EDTA blood stored more than 2 hours after blood collection will affect the shape of the cells and the temperature can affect the settling speed. Conclusion: Based on the results of statistical tests, it can be concluded that there is an effect of EDTA blood storage time and room temperature on the examination of ESR

Abstract

Background: Synthetic media for microbial growth are expensive, thus opening the way for making bacterial growth media using local raw materials at low prices. Jicama is one of the local raw materials that can be used as natural media for the growth of microorganisms. It contains a source of carbohydrates needed for the development of microorganisms. Aims: This study aims to determine the effect of variations in the concentration of Jicama, which has the potential to grow Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Methods: This study used experimental research with the Static Group Comparison method. In this study, the experimental group Staphylococcus aureus was instilled in Jicama solid media with various concentrations (2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%) with five repetitions. The results: The results showed that the average number of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria colonies in jicama flour with a concentration of 2% was 0, a concentration of 3% was 0, a concentration of 4% was 0.8, a concentration of 5% was 1.4, and at a concentration of 6% was 2.2. The results of the Kruskal-Wallis test with a degree of confidence of 0.05 obtained a p-value = 0.000 where the p-value 0.05 so that it can be concluded that there is a significant effect of variations in the concentration of jicama flour on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Conclusions: For future researchers, it is necessary to conduct further research using higher concentrations of jicama flour and by adding other nutrients, such as animal protein, so that the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria is more optimal.

Abstract

Background: Treatment of acne can be done with topical and systematic therapy. There is the bacterial resistance to drugs, so other alternatives are needed that can utilize natural ingredients so that side effects can be reduced. Aims: The objective of this study was to determine the phytochemical content of a blend of VCO and Intaran (Azadirachta indica) leaf extract (VCO-I) at concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 20%, and to assess its effect on the in vivo inflammation induced by P. acnes. Methode: This study has a posttest-only control group design and is experimental. Rats in the experimental group were smeared with VCO-I at concentrations of 0% (P0), 5% (P1), 10% (P2), and 20% (P3); clindamycin (Cindala®) was used as the positive control (K+); and distilled water was used as the negative control (K-). The results: The results showed that VCO-I contained flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids. The level increases as the mixture's concentration increases. Each VCO-I treatment was able to treat wounds or lesions that appeared due to the induction of P.Acne bacteria. There are differences in each treatment for healing the lesions. Based on the Post Hoc Bonferroni test P2 and P3 were not significantly different from K+, and K0 was significantly different from P0.. Conclusion: The addition of the extract can increase the activity of speeding up the healing of lesions and the effective mixture is at P2 and P3.
