Abstract

Cigarette smoke contains oxidants or free radicals and approximately 4,700 hazardous chemicals. Elevated levels of free radicals in the body can trigger the generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress. This condition arises when there is an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants. During this process, oxygen (O2) leakage occurs, resulting in the formation of superoxide radicals (*O2), which can subsequently induce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of green apple juice supplementation on superoxide dismutase (SOD) and IL-6 levels in male Wistar rats exposed to cigarette smoke. The study employed a Post-Test Only Control Group Design. A total of 20 male rats that met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to four groups: K1, K2, K3, and K4. Group K3 received standard feed supplemented with green apple juice at a dose of 13.5 grams per day, while group K4 received standard feed supplemented with green apple juice at a dose of 27 grams per day. Both groups were exposed to cigarette smoke for 14 consecutive days. On the 15th day, blood samples were collected from the male Wistar rats to measure SOD and IL-6 levels using the ELISA method. Data were analyzed using a One-Way ANOVA test, followed by Tukey's Post Hoc test. The results showed that the highest average SOD level was observed in group K2 (1.76 ng/L), while the highest IL-6 level was recorded in group K1 (4.08 ng/L). The One-Way ANOVA test indicated significant differences in SOD and IL-6 levels among the groups, with a p-value of <0.05.

Abstract

Wastewater produced from tofu manufacturing typically contains substantial amounts of organic substances and suspended particles. The concentrations of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) frequently surpass the permissible thresholds established in the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry (Permen LHK) No. P.16 of 2019. Such high levels of pollutants may degrade water quality and pose risks to both aquatic ecosystems and public health in nearby areas. This study investigates the efficiency of combining activated carbon and bentonite, in both raw and activated forms, for reducing BOD, COD, and TSS concentrations in wastewater originating from tofu industries. The BOD test was performed using a five-day incubation at 24 °C, COD was analysed via the closed reflux method, and TSS was quantified using the gravimetric approach. Adsorbent characteristics were examined in accordance with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), supported by functional group analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and morphological observation with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results demonstrated that activation enhanced pore development and improved the adsorption capability of both materials. The combined activated carbon and bentonite effectively decreased BOD from 3,600 mg/L to 140 mg/L, COD from 1,500 mg/L to 185 mg/L, and TSS from 320 mg/L to 270 mg/L. All treated parameters met the regulatory quality standards, indicating that the activated mixture of these adsorbents provides an efficient and environmentally sound method for treating tofu processing wastewater.

Abstract

Background: Infectious diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans remain a global health problem. Since prolonged use of synthetic drugs can cause side effects and resistance, natural alternatives are needed. Menteng leaves (Baccaurea racemosa) contain alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids/terpenoids, and tannins, which have potential antimicrobial properties. Objective: This study aimed to determine the antibacterial and antifungal activities of n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol extracts of menteng leaves against S. aureus, E. coli, and C. albicans. Method: The research was conducted experimentally through sample collection, simplicia preparation, successive maceration extraction, phytochemical screening, and antimicrobial testing using the agar well diffusion method. Results: From 500 g of simplicia, 10.5 g of n-hexane extract, 11.4 g of ethyl acetate extract, and 18 g of ethanol extract were obtained. Phytochemical screening showed that all three extracts contained different secondary metabolites, with the ethanol extract having the most complete profile. The highest antimicrobial activity was observed in the ethanol extract, with inhibition zones of 18.92 mm against S. aureus, 18.35 mm against E. coli, and 19.58 mm against C. albicans at a concentration of 200 mg/mL. Conclusion: These results indicate that the ethanol extract of menteng leaves has strong potential as a natural antibacterial and antifungal agent.

Abstract

Hypertension remains a major global health problem and is recognized as a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Its pathogenesis involves complex mechanisms, particularly oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. An imbalance between free radical production and endogenous antioxidant defense, especially the enzyme Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), leads to endothelial dysfunction and elevated blood pressure. In parallel, inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) play important roles in the progression of hypertension. Although conventional therapies are effective, they are often associated with side effects and long-term costs, prompting interest in alternative treatments derived from natural resources. Durian peel (Durio zibethinus), usually considered waste, is rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins with potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. This study employed a true experimental design with a post-test control group using male Wistar rats induced with hypertension by L-NAME administration. Animals were randomized into five groups: negative control, positive control (captopril), and three treatment groups with different extract doses. Assessments included blood pressure measurement, SOD activity, IL-6, and hs-CRP levels. Results demonstrated that durian peel extract contained an average flavonoid level of 16.27 mg QE/g with moderate antioxidant activity (IC50 88.90 µg/mL). The highest dose (800 mg/kgBW) reduced blood pressure by 14.2 ± 3.90 mmHg, approaching the effect of captopril (15.03 ± 6.30 mmHg). Moreover, SOD activity increased, IL-6 levels declined at medium to high doses, and hs-CRP levels decreased significantly, nearly comparable to the positive control. In conclusion, durian peel extract shows potential as an antihypertensive agent through mechanisms involving enhanced antioxidant defense and reduced systemic inflammation.

Abstract

Background: Fruit juice is highly needed nowadays due to its effectiveness as a source rich in antioxidants.Research Objective: This study aims to reduce glucose levels caused by the administration of HgCl₂, which is neurotoxic and cytotoxic, capable of damaging pancreatic β-cells that produce insulin. Etlingera hemisphaerica was utilized as a potential solution because it contains compounds such as terpenoids, flavonoids, phenols, and polyphenols that can lower glucose levels by maintaining the normal function of pancreatic β-cells. Method: This study applied a true experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design, involving measurements taken before and after treatment. The subjects were divided into three test groups K1, K2, and K3 each consisting of three Mus musculus , with a total of nine mice. Results: The administration of Etlingera hemisphaerica Fruit Fresh Drink (MSBE) did not show a significant effect in reducing blood glucose levels in Mus musculus  induced with HgCl₂. Conclusion: The secondary metabolites contained in E. hemisphaerica  have not yet been able to repair or maintain blood glucose levels under conditions of damage caused by HgCl₂ exposure.

Abstract

Abstract Background: Pneumonia is an infectious disease with a high global prevalence that contributes significantly to mortality in children and adults. Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum), a traditional Indonesian medicinal plant, has been identified as having antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Some of its natural constituents, such as flavonoids, have shown antimicrobial activity with a low toxicity profile. Therefore, the phytochemical content in red ginger is assumed to be able to combat Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, which is one of the main etiologies of Pneumonia. Objective: Evaluating the potential of 96% ethanol extract of red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) as an antimicrobial agent in inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. Method: This study applied a true experimental approach with a post-test design to evaluate the effectiveness of 96% ethanol extract of red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) as an agent that inhibits the growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. The method used was the disc diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer). Results: The study showed that the ethanol extract of red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) exhibited antibacterial activity; however, its effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae was not significant.Conclusion: The 96% ethanol extract of red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) demonstrated resistance, showing only minimal inhibitory activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae. This condition contrasts with the positive control, chloramphenicol, which produced a significant inhibition zone and was categorized as sensitive. Therefore, the effectiveness of red ginger extract in inhibiting the growth of this bacterium is considerably lower than that of chloramphenicol.

Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation and excessive lymphocyte activation, requiring accurate monitoring of disease activity. This study aimed to analyze the differences in lymphocyte levels between active and inactive SLE patients receiving methylprednisolone therapy. The methodology involved measuring lymphocyte counts from patients’ venous blood samples, followed by classification based on the MEX-SLEDAI score as an indicator of disease activity. Data were then analyzed to determine significant differences between the two groups. The results demonstrated that patients with active SLE had significantly lower lymphocyte counts (mean 838.35/μL) compared to inactive patients (mean 1957.65/μL). These findings indicate that a decrease in lymphocyte levels is closely associated with higher disease activity, suggesting that lymphocyte count may serve as a potential indicator of SLE activity. In conclusion, lymphocyte levels can be considered a useful parameter for assessing disease activity in SLE patients undergoing methylprednisolone therapy. This study provides valuable insight for clinical diagnosis and disease activity monitoring. Times New Roman 9 pt and single space.
