Abstract

Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a follicular disease that occurs most often and affects the area containing sebaceous gland follicles, including the face, back, and body. This is a multifactorial condition. The prevalence of acne vulgaris (AV) is still high both in the world and in Indonesia. As many as 80% of AV is found at the age of 11-30 years and almost 100% in adolescents. Various factors can trigger the onset of AV which can lead to severe complications. Aim: This study looked for the difference in interleukin-8 (IL-8) on degrees of AV severity. Materials and method: This study was an observational analytic study with a crosssectional approach. The research was conducted at the Diniyah Putri Islamic Boarding School, Lampung Province, Indonesia, in August 2020. The independent variable in this study was the AV degree, while the dependent variable was the IL-8 level. The sampling method in this study was consecutive sampling, as many as 63 AV patients. The research material is serum from venous blood. Examination of interleukin-8 levels using the ELISA method. Data analysis was univariate to find the mean and standard deviation of IL-8 levels, as well as the frequency distribution to determine the degree of AV. While the bivariate analysis was to determine the difference in the mean of IL-8 levels in AV patients. Results: The mean of IL-8 levels in AV patients was 38.53. Most of the AV patients are in a severe category. Further analysis found no difference in the mean of IL-8 levels between moderate and severe AV degrees. Conclusion: There was no difference in the mean of IL-8 levels in moderate and severe AV patients, but the IL-8 levels at severe AV degrees were higher than moderate AV degrees.

Abstract

Stroke is one of the significant causes of disability and death worldwide and is classified as a catastrophic disease in Indonesia. The study aims to analyze ecologically the factors related to theprevalence of stroke in Indonesia. The authors conduct a research using secondary data from the 2018 Indonesia Basic Health Survey that used all the provinces as samples. Apart from theprevalence of stroke, four other variables analyzed as independent variables were diabetes mellitus, theprevalence of hypertension, theprevalence of obesity, and the percentage of the population with alcohol consumptionin the past month. Data were analyzed using a scatter plot.The study results found thatthe higher the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obesity in a province, the higher the prevalence of stroke. However, the higher the population percentage with alcohol consumption, the lower the prevalence of stroke in that province. The three variables, which are the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obesity, were positively related to the prevalence of stroke in Indonesia. The population percentage with alcohol consumption was negatively associated with the majorityof stroke in Indonesia.

Abstract

Breast cancer was one of the most common types of cancer in women and the major cause of death. Chemotherapy in breast cancer caused toxicity to the normal cells, resistance to the drugs, and several other side effects. Seaweed had many functional compounds that could be used as adjuvant therapy in breast cancer because of its anti-cancer properties called the proapoptotic agent. These compounds were fucoidan, phloroglucinol, and fucoxanthin. Their proapoptotic mechanisms shown by the journal were through increasing proapoptotic protein expression, decreasing antiapoptotic protein expression, inducing oxidative stress production on the cancer cell, and inhibiting the PI3K pathway. This review concludes that the brown seaweed (Sargassum sp.), which contains fucoidan, phloroglucinol, and fucoxanthin, could increase breast cancer cells’ apoptotic process.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to reduce the concentration of sodium chloride using banana stem media with a thickness of 10 cm, 15 cm, and 20 cm. Method: This type of research is quasi-experimental research by conducting trials of hard water management using banana stem media with variations in the thickness of the media, namely 10 cm, 15 cm, and 20 cm by replicating 3 times. Sampling was carried out in rivers containing chloride levels in Makassar. The sampling method is using Grab Sample which is taken directly from a river flow which is classified as brackish water. The data analysis technique was carried out by using the ANOVA test. Result: The results obtained are banana stem media with a thickness of 10 cm can reduce levels of chloride (Cl) 2377, 69 mg/l, a thickness of 15 cm can reduce levels of chloride (Cl) 1772.27 mg/l, and a thickness of 20 cm can reduce levels of chloride (Cl) 1166.18 mg/l. Conclusion: The decrease in chloride levels in water is due to the presence of 4.60 grams of charcoal hydrate content in banana stems which functions to bind chloride levels in the water, besides that there is also a membrane in the banana stem in the form of cellulose which plays a role in binding chloride levels in water and also as an osmosing. Banana stalks can bind chloride levels.

Abstract

People with a level II leprosy disability have limited functions in society. In Nagan Raya District, there is a 41% leprosy endemic area with a 5% level II disability rate. The goal of this research was to prove the relationships of traditional medication, stigma, and leper’s family support to level II leprosy disability. This research used mixedmethodsand a case-control design with 84 respondents42 case respondents (level II leprosy disability) and 42 control respondents (level 0 leprosy disability)chosen by consecutive sampling under some inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection used the in-depth interview method. This study used bivariate data analysis with the chi-square test and multivariate data analysis with the logistic regression test and the Miles and Huberman’s model. The results of the chi-square analysis indicated that traditional medication had p value=0.014 (OR: 2.3; 95% CI: 0.2–7.7), stigma p=0.04 (OR:3.6;95% CI: 1.5–8.9), and family’s support p=0.192 (OR:2.0; 95% CI: 0.7–5.8). The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that stigma was a risk factor for leprosy level II disability with p value=0.006, (OR=4.9; 95% CI: 1.6–15.1) and probability of 99.96%. Based on the interview results, lepers were feeling uncomfortable with the society’s not acceptingthem in a good way. This was especially the case with khanduri(feast) when it came down to food in that the society assumed lepers would transmit the infectious, disgusting disease. The Nagan Raya District Health Office is expected to encourage the societyto accept lepers and provide information regarding the process of leprosy transmission so as to appease the community’s fearand to prevent further disability.
