Abstract

Dyslipidemia is an important risk factor for myocardial infarction, cardiovascular diseases, and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver (NAFLD) disorders. Inflammatory conditions, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance,as well as several risk factors for cardiovascular disease, are also risk factors for this disease. This study aimsto determine the effect of noni (Morinda citrifolia) extract on the improvement of dyslipidemia condition,based on the Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) level. This research is alaboratory experimental study with a post-test only control group design. Male Wistar rat (Rattus norvegicus)were divided into four groups: negative control group with no induction and treatment (K-), positive controlgroup given high-fat diet induction for 14 days (K+), noni extract treatment group given a high-fat diet anda noni extract at a dose of 100 mg/kg BB per day for 7 days (P1), and noni extract at a dose of 200 mg/kgBB per day for seven days (P2). Low Density Lipoprotein and High Density Lipoprotein serum levels weremeasured using the ELISA method. The results showed that there was a significant increase in LDL and adecrease in HDL in both treatment groups (P1 and P2) compared with K(+) group. Therefore, we concludethat noni extract (Morinda citrifolia) played a role as an antioxidant which can increase LDL and decreaseHDL serum levels in rats induced by a high fat diet.

Abstract

Policies that encourage maternity care to health care facilities are an important effort to reduce maternalmortality rates. This study aims to analyze the factors related to maternity care coverage in Indonesia. Theecological analysis was conducted using secondary data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic ofIndonesia report in 2018. All provinces were taken as samples. In addition to coverage of childbirth in healthcare facilities as the dependent variable, there were 6 independent variables analyzed in this study, namelypercentage of poor families, a ratio of primary health care/100,000 population, a ratio of hospital/100,000population, a ratio of gynecologist/100,000 population, a ratio of midwife/100,000 population, andcoverage of health insurance ownership. Data were analyzed using cross-tabulation. The results show thepercentage of poor families tends to have a negative relationship with maternity care coverage. Besides,four other variables were found to tend to have a positive relationship with maternity care coverage, namelythe ratio of primary health care/100,000 population, the ratio of hospital/100,000 population, the ratio ofgynecologist/100,000 population, and coverage of health insurance ownership. Meanwhile, the ratio of themidwife/100,000 population was found to have no relationship with maternity care coverage in Indonesia. Itwas concluded that 5 variables show the tendency of the relationship with maternity care coverage in healthcare facilities in Indonesia.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the ketogenic diet that slows down weight gain in juvenile Musmusculus induced with benzopyrene (BZP). Method: Thirty-six female mice (Mus musculus), 6-8 weeks old,weighted 15-25 grams were divided into six groups randomly. K1 (negative control, standard diet) inducedwith oleum olivarum, while K2 (positive control, standard diet), P1 (ketogenic diet 1), P2 (ketogenic diet 2),P3 (ketogenic diet 3) and P4 (ketogenic diet 4) induced with BZP subcutaneously in the right breast at a doseof 0.3mg/20gBB/day for 14 days. The ketogenic diet was given for the next 28 days. Data were analyzedusing the ANOVA and post hoc LSD test. Results: After 42 days, the ketogenic diet mice experiencedslower weight gain (p=0.000) because BZP induced neurotoxicity and the administration of the ketogenicdiet in juvenile mice induced neurohormonal changes. The ketogenic diet increased ketone plasma level(p=0.000) and reduced blood glucose levels (p=0.002) due to nutritional ketosis state. Conclusions: Theketogenic diet with fat:protein ratio 60:30 slows down weight gain, increased ketone levels and decreasedblood glucose levels in juvenile mice with BZP as cancer inducer.

Abstract

DNA of a total of 96 samples of (32) enteric, (32) gastric and (32) pod of Helix pomatia has been obtainedthrough the use of the Genomic DNA Extraction kit and tested by the use of the Real time PCR and specificset of the primers and probe for the detection of the Toxoplasma gondii B1 gene. Six enteric samples and only2 gastric samples have been positive while the others have been negative, that result indicates the presenceof the T. gondii in that snail species, and based upon those results infection can either be acquired from thecontaminated environment or as a result of consuming the grass that has been contaminated with parasiteoocysts. The negative result of pod samples may be due to the failure of filtration the infectious stages ofparasites into the organs that close contacts with environment or inability of the parasites in surviving inthose organs.

Abstract

Background: The diagnosis of thyroid nodule by core needle biopsy is different from post resection samplesbecause of difficulties in applying histological criteria for both samples due to limitation in core needlebiopsy sample .Objective: To assess the utility of core needle biopsy in diagnosis of thyroid nodule.Material and Method: We use core needle biopsy as first line method instead of fine needle aspirationand to reach final diagnosis after resection sample . Core needle biopsy results were divided to six groups)unsatisfactory, benign, indeterminate, follicular neoplasm, suspicious for malignancy and malignant)according to The Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology (1,2,3) .Result : A total of 45 thyroid nodules taken from 45 patients (30 female and 15 male) . Malignant changeswere seen in 19 nodules after surgery and 26 after core needle biopsy. Benign nodules were diagnosed in 11cases after surgery and in 12 cases after core needle biopsy . Final diagnoses were concluded for 34 nodules(76%). Twenty one nodules were diagnosed as malignant nodules and 13 nodules were diagnosed as benignnodules .Conclusions: Core needle biopsy is reliable and valuable tool for the diagnosis of thyroid nodule and canbeen used as an alternative to fine needle aspirate especially in patients with inconclusive results .

Abstract

The aim of the current study is to evaluate some biochemical parameters in rats treated with gentamicinto induce nephrotoxicity . The experimental study was conducted using 42 healthy adult male rat weighing250-300 grams . The results showed a significant increase (P?0.05) in the levels of urea and creatinine inthe blood serum, an increase in the activity of liver enzymes AST, ALT, ALP and a significant decrease inthe concentration of albumin in adult male rats injected with gentamicin (80 mg / kg IP daily for 10 Days)to induce nephrotoxicity compared to control group. The results showed a significant increase (P?0.05)in the concentration of urea and creatinine in the blood serum and a significant increase (P?0.05) in theactivity of liver enzymes AST, ALT, ALP, and albumin concentration in (untreated induced nephrotoxicity)compared with (control group). The results showed a significant decrease (P?0.05) in the levels of ureaand creatinine in the blood serum and a significant decrease (P?0.05) in the activity of liver enzymes AST,ALT, ALP, kidney weight and a significant increase (P?0.05) in albumin concentration, from the inducednephrotoxicity group treated with (15% w / v / day) Gum Arabic compared to the untreated nephrotoxicgroup, but the values In all treated groups were less than the control group. The present study concluded thatthe induced nephrotoxicity group treated with Gum Arabic showed improvement in some biochemical andhematological parameters associated mainly with nephrotoxicity
