Publisher : Universitas Padjadjaran, Indonesia

Patient waiting time for healthcare services is identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the key measurements of a responsive health system. Waiting time for filing prescription can influence patient satisfaction on hospital pharmacy service. This study was conducted to analyze current condition of waiting time for filing precription and related parameters. This study was prospective cross-sectional study conducted for 10 days at a hospital pharmacy, in Indramayu, Indonesia. Data regarding distribution of patients flow was obtained. Statistical analysis was performed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov. We observed that this hospital uses single queue channel-single phase model in three counters, i.e., public health insurance (PHI), private/general, government insurance (GI). The rate of patients visit was (Î») 9.40 and the rate of service was (Âµ) 1.26 in PHI. In private/general counter, the rate of patients visit was (Î») 5.03 and the rate of service was (Âµ) 4.08. The rate of patients visit was (Î») 4.85 and the rate of service was (Âµ) 5.85 in GI. Data indicated that there was excessive work loads. Thus, several strategies should be performed to decrease waiting time, e.g., the use of computer-based queuing system and the improvement of quality and quantity of human resources in the hospital pharmacy.Keywords: waiting time, outpatient, queueing theory

The risk of paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity could increase with alcohol consumption.Paracetamol was usually given to tropical malaria patients to treat fever. The aim of this studywas to determine the hepatotoxicity effect of alcohol consumption in malaria tropica patientsreceiving paracetamol. This study was a cross-sectional study which was conducted duringApril-June 2015 at a hospital in Jayapura, Indonesia. The data were obtained from questionnairesand medical records. Alcohol status was determined by Short Michigan Alcoholics ScreeningTest (SMAST) questionnaire. Level of ALT, AST and bilirubin were observed before and afterreceiving paracetamol therapy for 5 days. Based on the results, the ALT and bilirubin levels ofalcoholic group were higher than in non-alcoholic. However, chi-square test showed that alcoholstatus did not have a significant influence in ALT, AST, and bilirubin levels. Otherwise,logistic regression analysis showed that age gave a significant effect on AST level (P=0.067).Keywords: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alcohol,malaria

Cyclooxygenase (COX) or prostaglandin H2 synthase (PGHS) catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) work by inhibiting both COX-1 and COX-2 isoforms, thus disturbing this reaction. In Indonesia, Andrographis paniculata (local name: sambiloto), is empirically used to reduce inflammation by consuming the herb tea of this plant. This work studied the inhibitory activity of andrographolide and andrograpanin, diterpenoids of the plant, on the rate of prostaglandin formation. Previous works have proven that andrographolide inhibited PGE2 production in LPS-induced human fibroblast cells. This study was performed by measuring the absorbance of TMPD (tetramethyl-p-phenyldiamine) oxidized by andrographolide and andrograpanin. Acetosal was used as a control drug. The rate of PGH2 formations on either COX-1 or COX- 2 was affected by andrographolide and andrograpanin. Andrographolide and andrograpanin interact longer with COX-1 than COX-2. Andrographolide shows weak inhibition on the rate of PGH2 formation, whilst andrograpanin might be further developed for potential antiinflammatory drugs.Keywords: Andrographis paniculata, anti-inflammatory, COX, cyclooxygenase, prostaglandin

Hospital-acquired infection has become serious issue during previous decades. In Indonesia, the prevalence of nosocomial infection reached almost 10% of total patients encounter. The objective of this study was to investigate the sterility status of 160 sets of re-used instruments in three intermediate care rooms, including High Care Cardiac Unit (HCCU), Neosurgical Critical Care Unit (NCCU) and Burn Care Unit (BCU) of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital and analyzed whether there was association between time and storage condition towards sterility status. All tested instruments were sterilized in Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) of the hospital and distributed to those intermediate care rooms. Observations and microbiology assays were carried out for four weeks. We found that the worst contamination was found in BCU room with 2.50% bacterial infection in week I, II and III, and 4.375% of fungal infection in week I, II and IV. The best sterility status of reusable instruments was found in CSSD, followed by NCCU, and HCCU. Time and storage condition influenced fungal contamination, while these factors did not associated with the bacterial contamination. In conclusion, sterility status of reusable medical instruments was relatively satisfactory, but there was still room for improvement, particularly at burn care facilities.Keywords: hospital-acquired infections, hospital, nosocomial, sterility

Patients with hyperlipidaemia is at increased risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The use of appropriate statin therapy is important to obtain optimal health outcomes. However, there was limited information regarding the risk of ASCVD among Indonesian hyperlipidaemia population and the appropriateness of statin therapy given to these patients. This study aimed to assess the ASCVD risks among the patients and evaluate the use of statin therapy at hospitalized hyperlidaemia patients. This cross sectional study used medical records as data source. This study was conducted at one hospital in Pontianak, Indonesia during Januari-June 2017. We included 50 subjects. The 10-year risk of ASCVD was assessed using ASCVD pooled cohort risk assessment equation (PCRAE). The results showed that 66% of the included subjects had a relatively high risk of developing ASCVD. Subjects with high risk of ASCVD received inappropriate statin therapy. High intensity statin should be given to these patients. In conclusion, large proportion of the subjects were at high risk of developing ASCVD. Nevertheless, inappropriate statin therapy were given to these patients. Improvement in medication practice should be done to prevent complication and increase quality of health outcomes.Keywords: ASCVD, dyslipidemia, statin

Psidium guajava (P. guajava) leaves have been empirically used to stop bleeding. Tannin,one of this plantâs secondary metabolites, may contribute to this activity. However, informationregarding its pharmacologicy activity was limited. Therefore, this study was performedto evaluate local hemostatic activity of P. guajava leaves. This study used Duke method withmale Swiss Webster mice as test animals. The animals were grouped into three i.e., negativecontrol (distilled water), positive control (epinephrin), and P. guajava group. Its tail was cut(2-3 mm) and the bleeding time was calculated. Statistical analysis was performed usingKruskal-Wallis test and continued with Least Significant Different (LSD) test. The mean(SD) of bleeding time for those groups were 246.00 (22.95), 72.40 (5.55), and 88.40 (7.03),respectively. There was a significant difference between the negative control group with theother two groups, but there was not significant difference between the positive control groupand the P. guajava group. In conclusion, P. guajava showed promising local hemostatic activityand can be further developed as potential hemostatic agents.Keywords: Psidium guajava, hemostatic, bleeding time

Differences in drugs consumption time may affect its absorption and metabolism in the bodywhich could lead to differences in its efficacy. For hypertension patients, one of the mostfrequently used drugs for lowering blood is captopril. However, information regarding theinfluence of consumption time on captopril efficacy was limited. Therefore, this study wasconducted to compare the efficacy of captopril in lowering blood pressure when administeredbefore and after meal. This was an experimental study with two treatment groups,conducted at Dr. Soedarso General Hospital, Pontianak, Indonesia, during April-June 2015.Statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney, Exact-Fisher, and T-test. We foundout that the reduction of systolic blood pressure in group who consumed captopril beforeand after meal was 30 mmHg and 25 mmHg, respectively (p<0.05). The similar reduction indiastolic bloos pressure was observed in both groups (10 mmHg, p>0.05). In conclusion, itis recommended to take captopril on an empty stomach since it showed better efficacy whenadministered before meal compared to after meal consumption.Keywords: hypertension, captopril, absorption

Moderate and high aerobic exercises are the activities that can induce high oxidant. Demandof endogen and exogen antioxidant for neutralizing oxidant induced by exercise will playimportant role in maintaining body performance. Microtrace elements, such as selenium,may able to balance high oxidant formation. However, limited research and data have beencollected with regards to the exercise and selenium. Therefore, this research was conductedto investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on selenium level in plasma. An analytic studywith experimental method of data collection was performed from October -November 2016.17 male students with the age between 19-25 years old and without medically compromiseddisease from Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor, were selected as subjects. Blood sampleswere taken pre- and post-aerobic exercise, i.e., brisk walking with the intensity of 4.5 mi/h.Selenium level in plasma was then examined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)kit as selenium binding protein (SELENBP1). This study found that 11 (65%) subjectshad a decrease in their selenium plasma after exercise (3.1 Â± 2.58 ng/ml), 5 (29%) subjectshad an increase in their selenium plasma after exercise (2.08 Â± 2.8 ng/ml) and 1 (6%) subjecthad unchanged selenium (SELENBP1) plasma (1.4 Â± 1.4 ng/ml) level. Effect of aerobicexercise on selenium level in plasma varied among individuals.Keywords: aerobic exercise, selenium, young adult
