Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) is an infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 protein and antibody/serology assays can be used for sero-surveillance studies and analyze the epidemiology and virology of SARS-CoV-2. This study aims to review the results of serological tests in Covid-19 patients with the parameters of IgM and IgG antibodies, C-Reactive Protein, procalcitonin, and serum ferritin through literacy studies. This research is descriptive. The study was conducted by collecting and reviewing data on the results of serological examinations in Covid-19 patients contained in articles and journals. After collecting data, 10 journals were obtained that matched the inclusion criteria set by the researcher. The conclusion of this study was that there was an increase in c-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels in Covid-19 patients, serum ferritin levels were also found to tend to increase. IgM antibodies were found to increase earlier than IgG antibodies, but their levels decreased more quickly. An increase in IgG antibodies occurs around the second week after the onset of symptoms.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease, one of which is coronary heart disease (CHD) is the main cause of death and morbidity caused by blockages in the coronary arteries (atherosclerosis). Elevated serum triglyceride levels can encourage the formation of atherosclerosis. Statins are the drugs most commonly used to lower triglyceride levels but have side effects, so new treatment are needed. Grapes are fruits that has many bioactive compounds such as proanthocyanidins and resveratrol which are believed to reduce triglyceride levels in serum. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of green grape extract (Vitis vinifera) on triglyceride levels in male Wistar rats which were divided into 5 groups, namely P0 (fed with standard feed), P1 (fed with high cholesterol and then standard feed), P2 (fed with high cholesterol and simvastatin 0.2mg/200mgBW/day), P3 (fed with high cholesterol and grape extract at a dose of 500mg/200mgBW/day), and P4 (fed with high cholesterol and 250mg/200mgBW/day grape extract). Examination of triglyceride levels was carried out using the GPO-PAP method. Data analysis was performed with Annova test followed by Bonferroni test. The statistical test results showed that there were significant differences between each treatment group. The P3 group showed a lower average triglyceride level than P4 although it was still higher than P2. This showed that administration of green grape extract has an effect on decreasing serum triglyceride levels in all.

Abstract

Aloe vera (Aloe vera L.) is a plant that has many benefits, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, antibacterial, and moisturizing the skin. Gel preparations are easily contaminated by bacteria and fungi, so it is necessary to consider adding sodium metabisulfite as a preservative. The aim of this research is to prove the effectiveness of using sodium metabisulfite as a preservative for aloe vera extract gel preparations. The aloe vera plant (Aloe vera L.) was extracted using the maceration method for 3x24 hours using methanol solvent. This research used 5% aloe vera (Aloe vera L.) extract, and in the evaluation and stability test used 4 variation formulations using a carbomer base, only gel base (F1), gel base with the addition of sodium metabisulfite (F2), gel base with 5% aloe vera extract (F3), and gel base with 5% aloe vera extract and sodium metabisulfite (F4). The evaluations carried out were organoleptic tests, pH tests, viscosity tests, and ALT (Total Plate Number) tests and AKK (Yeast Mold Number) tests. The physical stability test is carried out for 3-14 days. The extract yield test results obtained were 4.892%. Organoleptic tests on F1, F2, F3 and F4 did not show changes in color, odor and texture, whereas on day 14 changes in color, odor and texture began to occur in the F3 preparation. The pH test showed pH results of 4.67 (F1), 4.9 (F2), 5 (F3) and 5.1 (F4). The viscosity test shows the gel has a viscosity of 2760 cps (F1), 2650 cps (F2), 2590 cps (F3), and 2575 cps (F4). The ALT and AKK tests showed that there was an increase in the value of the F3 preparation. So based on these results it can be concluded that the best gel preparation is F4

The research was carried out at a laboratory in Baghdad, Iraq, and it is a case-control study. The sample was gathered from February 2023 through the years 2021 and 2022. About 250 individuals were a part of this study; 100 were hypothyroid, 100 were hyperthyroid, and 50 had normal thyroid function and complete blood counts. A total of three millilitres of whole blood and two millilitres of EDTA were obtained from each subject in an aseptic manner for the CBC. Also, 2 ml of blood was drawn for serum separation, these sera were used for evaluation T3, T4, TSH, AST, ALT, Urea and Creatinine by using kits purchased from Linear company, the procedures for all were done according to manufacturer instructions. The control group had considerably greater mean RBC, Hb, HCT, and MCH concentrations, while the hypothyroid group had significantly lower values. The hyperthyroid group showed no significant difference between MCV and MCH. There were no statistically significant MCHC results in either the hypothyroid or hyperthyroid groups compared to the control group. There was little difference in total lymphocyte and platelet counts between the control, hyperthyroid, and hypothyroid groups. Differential leukocyte count showed statistically significant differences between the hypothyroid and hyperthyroid groups. As seen in Table 2, the hypothyroid group had higher serum TSH levels (p<0.05), in contrast to the hyperthyroid group which exhibited lower levels (p<0.05). Alternatively, when contrasted with the control group, the hypothyroid group had lower T3 and T4 levels (p<0.05), whereas the hyperthyroid group had higher levels (p<0.05). Improvements in hepatic and kidney functions were seen in patients with hypo or hyperthyroidism as compared to the control group in this investigation. In conclusion, both hypothyroidism as well as hyperthyroidism affects on hematological and biomarkers for thyroid, liver and kidney

Abstract

Cladophora glomerata algae extract was used to inhibit the growth of five bacterial species: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis, Citrobacter, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Algae samples were collected from the river Euphrates in Al-Fadhiliya/Thi-Qar governorate and extracted into alcohol. The concentrations of the extracts were compared with five antibiotics. The 200% concentration showed the highest effectiveness against bacteria, with an inhibition zone of 28mm. The antibiotics Imipenem and Meropenem had an inhibition zone of 28mm, while Amikacin, Norfloxacin, and Piperacillin had an inhibition area of 12-21mm. The 20% concentration was least effective against E. coli, with an inhibition diameter of 2mm. The alcoholic extract of C. glomerata alga had the highest inhibition region of 28 against K. pneumonia and 13mm against P. mirabilis. The chemical algal contents were identified using mass GC technology, revealing compounds like 10-Undecyn-1-ol, n-hexadecanoic acid, 4,4-dimethyl-1-hex, and isoamyl nitrite, which were found to have the major function of inhibiting bacterial growth

Abstract

Hepatotoxicity is the outcome of a paracetamol overdose.In this study, 40 adult male rats, weighing 180–260 gm and aged between 9 and 13 weeks, were given doses of Nigela sativa oil and their liver enzymes were examined to see how paracetamol affected them. The rats were kept in an environment at a temperature of 25 Co in an animal house. ,There were four groups of rats, and food was provided for them. (G). (G1) The only injections given to the control group are food and regular saline (0.9% of the time). (G2) 200 mg/kg of N. sativa and (G3) 400 mg/kg of paracetamol Addition of 400 mg/kg body weight of paracetamol. supplying 300 mg/kg B.W. of N. sativa to (G4)400 milligrams/kg B.W. of aspirin. Rat G2, GPT 87.80 IUL, and GOT hepatic enzyme concentration (129.32 IUL) all exhibit significant increases in comparison to the control. Furthermore, the levels of the liver GSH enzyme in rats (G2 )1.24 IUL shown a substantial increase, whereas G3 ( GOT ) 91.9 IUL, (GPT )76.70 IUL, and group (G4) GOT 109.88 IUL and enzyme (GPT ) 55.66 IUL exhibited significant declines as compared with control. While MDA enzyme in rats G2 (0.259 IUL) shows a major increase in comparison to the control, rats G3 (0.139 IUL) and G4 (0.112) show a noticeable decrease in comparison to G2. While body weight indicates that G2's outcomes are significantly lower than those of the other three groups. Groups G3 (2.55 gm) and G4 (2.7 gm) demonstrated a significant rise in liver weight compared to controls and G2, whereas groups G2 (24.23 gm) demonstrated a significant increase in liver weight compared to controls and group G2. Male rats in groups G2 (1.7 gm) demonstrated a significant drop in liver weight compared to controls.
