Abstract

The use of plant extracts as reductants in green synthesis of gold metal nanoparticles (AuNPs) requires optimal conditions of temperature, extract concentration and pH. The objective of this research is to identify the optimal synthesis conditions for producing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The reducing agents employed are extracts from three varieties of chili peppers: Katokkon, Cakra Hijau, and Paprika Merah. Variations of plant extract concentrations of 10%, 15%, and 20%, incubation temperatures of 25°C, 37.5°C, and 50°C, and pH levels of 5, 7, and 9. The optimization formula design was determined using Box-Behnken, Design Expert version 13.0. The formation of AuNPs was indicated by a change in the color of the solution from yellow to pink to purple. Surface plasmon resonance was observed in the range of 200-800 nm using a microplate reader. Chili, Katokkon, Cakra Hijau and Red Paprika extracts were able to synthesize Au into AuNPs. The optimal formula for synthesizing AuNPs using Katokkon and Red Paprika extracts at a concentration of 10% while Ckra Hijau at a concentration of 15%. The incubation temperature used was 37.5°C for Katokkon extract and 25°C for Cakra Hijau and Red Pepper extract. The pH level used for the synthesis of AuNPs was pH 5 for all chili pepper extracts.

Abstract

Acute central type facial paralysis is a rare manifestation of cerebral artery media stroke (MCA) that is often misdiagnosed as Bell's palsy. This article discusses the case of a 40-year-old woman with a swollen face to the right and a deviation of the tongue to the left without weakness of the extremities, as well as hypertension at onset. The diagnosis of Bell's palsy is questionable due to the involvement of nerve XII and vascular risk factors. Lesions in the primary motor cortex or corticobulbar tract, supplied by a specific branch of MCA, are the main cause of this condition. About 3-7% of acute MCA strokes show central-type facial paralysis as the main symptom. Management includes the administration of antiplatelets, while corticosteroids are not recommended in ischemic stroke. The prognosis of this case tends to be good compared to MCA stroke with extensive neurological deficits, but the risk of recurrence is high if vascular risk factors are not controlled. This study confirms the importance of vigilance against atypical manifestations of stroke, especially in patients with hypertension or other vascular risk factors. Proper diagnosis, appropriate management, early rehabilitation, and secondary prevention play a major role in improving clinical outcomes and preventing stroke recurrence.

Abstract

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) represents an acute infectious inflammatory condition affecting the lung parenchyma, typically contracted in non-hospital settings. Antibiotic therapy serves as the primary treatment modality for CAP. This investigation employs a dual methodological approach: quantitative assessment through the Defined Daily Dose (DDD) metric and qualitative evaluation utilizing the Drug Utilization 90% (DU 90%) analysis. The study objectives focus on characterizing antibiotic consumption patterns among CAP patients at Taman Husada Bontang Regional General Hospital during 2024, employing both ATC/DDD and DU90% analytical frameworks. This quantitative descriptive research utilized retrospective data collection from medical records of CAP inpatients admitted between January and June 2024. Following comprehensive screening, 83 eligible patient records were included for analysis. Data processing involved descriptive statistical methods with Microsoft Excel for tabular presentation of findings. Demographic analysis revealed a homogeneous age distribution (100% within 18-39 years) with male predominance (59%). Quantitative evaluation identified Ceftriaxone as the most frequently prescribed antibiotic (42.5 DDD/100 treatment days). The DU 90% analysis further delineated the therapeutic landscape, with Ceftriaxone (52.9%), Levofloxacin (23.5%), Azithromycin (11.1%), and Ceftazidime (5.3%) constituting the predominant therapeutic agents.

Abstract

Turmeric (Curcuma domestica) has been identified as a potential natural antifungal agent due to its curcuminoids and essential oils. Malassezia furfur, a lipophilic fungus, is commonly found on human skin but can become pathogenic, causing Pityriasis versicolor. This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of turmeric extract in a liquid soap formulation against Malassezia furfur. A post-test only with control group design was used, employing the well-diffusion method to assess antifungal efficacy. Turmeric extract was incorporated into liquid soap at concentrations of 10%, 15%, and 20%, with positive (commercial antifungal soap) and negative (soap base) controls. The inhibition zones were measured using a vernier caliper, and data were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA followed by post hoc Bonferroni testing. Results showed that all formulations met the Indonesian National Standards (SNI). The highest inhibition zone was observed at 20% concentration (17,46 mm), while the lowest was at 10% concentration (15,80 mm). ANOVA analysis confirmed significant differences between groups (p < 0,05). The study concludes that turmeric extract in liquid soap formulations demonstrates antifungal activity against Malassezia furfur and has potential as a natural alternative to synthetic antifungal agents.

Abstract

Pharyngitis is an infection or inflammation of the pharyngeal (throat) region, primarily caused by bacteria and viruses. The most common bacterial cause is Group A Streptococcus. Management of bacterial pharyngitis involves the use of antibiotics aimed at eradicating the causative pathogen. Quantitative analysis of antibiotic use can be conducted using the Defined Daily Dose (DDD) method, which is useful for assessing both the pattern and volume of drug consumption. This study aims to quantify the use of antibiotics in pediatric pharyngitis patients using the ATC/DDD method at Juanda Samarinda Public Health Center in 2023. This research is classified as a descriptive quantitative study and employs a non-experimental, retrospective design. Data were collected from antibiotic usage reports and medical records of pediatric pharyngitis patients treated in 2023. Data processing was performed using descriptive and quantitative analysis, with all results processed using Microsoft Excel 2019 and presented in tabular format. Based on the findings, the antibiotic with the highest usage in pediatric pharyngitis patients at Juanda Samarinda Public Health Center was Amoxicillin, with an average of 38.5 DDD/1,000 patient-days (KPRJ), while the lowest was Cefadroxil, with an average of 4.9 DDD/1,000 patient-days (KPRJ).

Abstract

S SelfNanoEmulsifying Drug Delivery System (SNEDDS) is a drug delivery system designed to increase the solubility and bioavailability of active substances that are difficult to dissolve in water, such as sodium diclofenac. Diclofenac sodium SNEDDS was optimized using FFD. Variables: oil, surfactant, co-surfactant, and mixing time. Responses: droplet size, PDI, and drug loading. Evaluation: DLS, UV-Vis, and stability tests. This study aims to optimize the formulation of SNEDDS sodium diclofenac using the Fractional Factorial Design (FFD) method to obtain a formula with the best characteristics. The main parameters analyzed include entrapment efficiency (%), vesicle size (nm), zeta potential (mV), and polydispersity index (PDI). The results showed that Formula F12 was the best formula with the highest desirability value (0.96). This formula has an entrapment efficiency of 92.5%, the smallest vesicle size (118 nm), and high electrostatic stability with a zeta potential of -36.0 mV and a low polydispersity index (0.20). In addition, Formulas F8 and F4 are also included in the optimum category with desirability values of 0.94 and 0.92, respectively. With small vesicle size and high stability, this SNEDDS formula has the potential to increase the bioavailability of diclofenac sodium, so it can be further developed as a more effective drug delivery system in pharmaceutical applications.
