Abstract

Background. Moringa leaves are a part of the Moringa tree that contain various macro and micronutrients as well as active substances that function as antioxidants. They contain important nutrients such as iron (Fe), calcium, vitamins, and protein. Moringa leaves are also used as the main ingredient in medicines for prevention and treatment. The iron content in Moringa leaves can be utilised in the management of anaemia. To enhance the utilisation of Moringa leaves, scientific evidence is required to prove their effect on increasing haemoglobin (Hb) levels. Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the ethanol extract of Moringa leaves on increasing haemoglobin levels in white rats induced by NaNO2 solution. Methodology. An experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design was used. The rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, and then orally induced with NaNO2 solution for 18 days. Group I was given 0.5% Na CMC; Group II was given ethanol extract of Moringa leaves at 125 mg/kg BW/day; Group III was given ethanol extract of Moringa leaves at 250 mg/kg BW/day; Group IV was given ethanol extract of Moringa leaves at 375 mg/kg BW/day; and Group V was given Sangobion supplement at a dose of 4.5 mg/200 g BW/day. The treatments were administered for 14 days. The Hb levels of the rats were measured on days 7 and 14 after treatment. Results. The results showed that the ethanol extract of Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera L.) at doses of 125 mg/kgBW, 250 mg/kgBW, and 375 mg/kgBW led to a significant increase in Hb values on days 7 and 14 (P < 0.05). Conclusion. The ethanol extract of Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera L.) is effective in significantly increasing haemoglobin levels in white rats induced by NaNO₂ (p < 0.05).

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease characterized by elevated random blood glucose ≥200 mg/dL or fasting blood glucose ≥126 mg/dL, resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus constitutes a global health threat with a projection of 28.57 million cases in Indonesia, predicted to become a significant financial burden on the National Health Insurance System by 2045 with costs ranging from 1.6 Trillion to 3 Trillion Rupiah. This study analyzes the comparative effectiveness of Insulin versus Oral Antidiabetic Drug treatment patterns in BPJS outpatients through systematic literature review using PRISMA protocol through a primary article search on Google Scholar for the 2020-2025 period resulting in 309 articles, 299 articles did not meet the criteria for inclusive inclusion, and the remaining 10 articles continued to the assessment analysis stage. Findings reveal therapeutic equivalence of both modalities with non-significant Hba1c reduction difference (0.123%; P=0.608), yet Oral Antidiabetic Drugs demonstrate economic superiority with Metformin-Sulfonylurea combination being more Cost-Effective than Metformin-Insulin (P<0.001). Patient characteristics, comorbidities, and adherence significantly influenced therapeutic response, with 79% of patients demonstrating suboptimal glycemic control. Effectiveness variability was determined by institutional clinical protocols, and the INA-CBG rate of new-generation insulin achieved a profit margin of 3.30%. The Study provides empirical evidence for optimizing stepwise therapy algorithms prioritizing Oral Antidiabetic Drugs before Insulin Escalation within Indonesia's Health Coverage Context.

Abstract

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with the lungs as the primary site of infection, although other organs can also be affected. To date, tuberculosis control still faces various challenges, particularly related to the long duration of treatment, which can last for months. This long duration of therapy often results in decreased patient compliance in taking medication regularly. This low compliance directly contributes to treatment failure, an increased risk of relapse, and the potential for drug resistance. Furthermore, given the contagious nature of pulmonary tuberculosis, patient non-compliance also increases the risk of disease spread in the community. This study aims to describe the compliance profile of pulmonary tuberculosis patients undergoing anti-tuberculosis therapy in several hospitals in West Java Province. The method used is descriptive, examining variations in patient compliance levels based on available data. The results show significant variation in the level of compliance with anti-tuberculosis medication in the studied hospitals, ranging from 12.5% ​​to 92.8%. This variation indicates differences in factors that influence compliance, such as support from healthcare workers, patient understanding, and access to healthcare services. This study emphasizes the importance of targeted interventions to improve patient adherence to support successful therapy, accelerate the healing process, and sustainably reduce the rate of tuberculosis transmission in the community. Efforts to improve adherence can be achieved through comprehensive health education, strengthening treatment monitoring systems, and involving families in patient support. Furthermore, innovative community-based services have the potential to improve access and quality of treatment, resulting in more optimal and sustainable long-term therapy outcomes for all pulmonary tuberculosis patients.

Abstract

Epilepsy is a long-term disorder of the nervous system that requires long-term therapy using antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) to control seizures. The proper pattern of AED use plays a significant role in the effectiveness of treatment and patients’ overall well-being. This study aims to describe the use of antiepileptic drugs in outpatient patients at Universitas Sebelas Maret Hospital during the period of January-December 2024. This study used a non-experimental design with a descriptive approach, and data collection was conducted retrospectively through the review of medical records of epilepsy patients. From a total population of 1,236 medical record data, 303 samples were collected that satisfied the inclusion criteria. The analyzed data included patient characteristics based on gender and age, types of AED therapy, dosage, and usage rules. The study results show that outpatient epilepsy patients were predominantly female (53.14%) and the young adult age group 19-65 years (81.19%). The most commonly used therapy pattern was monotherapy, with Phenytoin 100 mg being the most frequently prescribed drug (28.38%), mainly at a dose of 1 tablet twice daily. Combination therapy was used in some patients with variations of two to four antiepileptic drugs. The conclusion of this study indicates that phenytoin is still the primary choice in the outpatient management of epilepsy at UNS Hospital, and reflects its role as a first-line drug effective in controlling various types of seizures. Predominated by females (53.14%) and the young adult age group aged 19-65 years (81.19%).

Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks white blood cells and gradually weakens the immune system. Without appropriate treatment, HIV infection can progress to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), a late stage marked by severe immune impairment. Papua is one of the provinces with the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence in Indonesia which indicating the importance of understanding community knowledge and attitudes as key elements in prevention and control efforts. This study aimed to describe the level of knowledge and attitudes toward HIV/AIDS among Indigenous Papuan communities in Nabire District. This study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design. Data were collected using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, consisting of 23 knowledge items and 11 attitude items. A total of 300 respondents who met the inclusion criteria were included in the analysis. The findings showed that respondents’ knowledge was categorized as high (28%), moderate (32%), and low (39.67%). With regard to attitudes toward HIV/AIDS, 13% of respondents demonstrated good attitudes, 42.67% had moderate attitudes, and 43.67% showed poor attitudes. It can be concluded that the average level of knowledge among indigenous Papuan communities remains low, accompanied by less favorable attitudes toward HIV/AIDS. These findings indicate the need to strengthen more intensive, targeted, and socio-culturally appropriate educational programs to improve knowledge and promote more positive attitudes toward HIV/AIDS particularly in Nabire District.

Abstract

Oral Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) therapy gastrointestinal side effects encouraged bioactive alternative exploration via Acalypha indica root alkaloids. This study aimed to evaluate Acalypha indica root alkaloids detected by LC-HRMS against α-glucosidase using molecular docking and ADMET evaluation. Ligand structures were optimized via ChemDraw 3D while 2QMJ receptor preparation was conducted using Discovery Studio Client and AutoDock Tools. Parameters were validated through redocking with RMSD <2 Å. Molecular docking was performed using AutoDock Vina with interaction visualization via Discovery Studio Visualizer and PyMOL while pharmacokinetic profiles were predicted using ADMETlab. Results identify compound (1) as the most potent inhibitor with ΔG -9.47 kcal/mol surpassing acarbose stability. Visualizations confirm hydrophobic interaction strengthening at key catalytic residues Asp443 and Asp542 indicating a competitive inhibition mechanism. Compound (1) selection as the primary candidate is based on high affinity and genotoxic safety due to mutagenicity absence in AMES parameters. Compound (1) ADMET characteristics show low intestinal permeability advantageous for local action in the intestinal lumen similar to acarbose. This study recommends compound (1) as a potential antidiabetic candidate for further testing although structural optimization is required to mitigate organ toxicity risks at advanced clinical stages.

Abstract

Background: Exposure to ultraviolet radiation and free radicals can induce oxidative stress, leading to skin damage and premature aging. Therefore, topical formulations containing effective and safe antioxidants are required. Tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum  L.) is known to contain flavonoids and lycopene, which act as natural antioxidants and possess potential photoprotective properties. Gel formulations were selected due to their good spreadability, cooling sensation, non-comedogenic nature, and ease of application. To achieve optimal physical quality of gel preparations, optimization of the gel base composition is necessary. Objective: This study aimed to determine the optimum formulation of tomato fruit extract (Solanum lycopersicum  L.) gel with varying concentrations of HPMC and propylene glycol using the Simplex Lattice Design (SLD) method, as well as to evaluate the physical characteristics and antioxidant activity of the resulting optimum formulation. Tomato fruit extract was obtained by maceration using 96% ethanol as the solvent. Methods: Gel formulation optimization was performed using the Simplex Lattice Design method with Design- Expert® software, involving combinations of HPMC as a gelling agent and propylene glycol as a humectant. The evaluated physical quality parameters included organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesiveness, and viscosity. The optimum formulation was subsequently tested for antioxidant activity using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method by UV–Vis spectrophotometry and expressed as the IC₅₀ value. Results: The results indicated that variations in HPMC and propylene glycol concentrations significantly affected the physical characteristics of the gel formulation. The obtained optimum formulation met all the requirements for good and stable gel physical quality. Conclusion: Antioxidant activity testing demonstrated that the optimum formulation exhibited strong antioxidant activity, with an IC₅₀ value of 74.12 ppm, indicating its potential for development as a natural antioxidant topical gel.
