Abstract

Background: Fosfomycin is the first-line of antibiotic for urinary tract infection (UTI). To prevent antibiotic resistance, antibiotics and herbal medicines combination was developed. Studies have shown that Andrographis paniculata has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent.Objective: To investigate the effect of A. paniculata extract for treating UTI in animal modelMethods: Using post test only control group design, thirty females Rattus norvegicus rats were induced by 1 cc transurethral inoculation of E. coli and then randomly grouped into negative control (NC) received no treatment, positive control (PC) that had 54 mg fosfomycin, and treatment groups which were divided into T1 (A. paniculata 100 mg/kgBW), T2 (A. paniculata 200 mg/kgBW), T3 (fosfomycin 54 mg with A. paniculata 100 mg/kgBW), T4 (fosfomycin 54 mg with A. paniculata 200 mg/kgBW). Urinary samples were utilized to count leukocytes under microscope, nitrite levels with a dipstick, and lactoferrin using ELISA.Results: Combination of fosfomycin and A. paniculata led to a reduction in the number of leukocytes and nitrite levels compared to the single therapy group, particularly in T4 group (p<0.001). There were no significant differences in lactoferrin levels among all study groups (p>0.05).Conclusion: Combination of A. paniculata with fosfomycin resulted in a more pronounced reduction in the number of leukocytes and nitrite levels compared to single therapy, while lactoferrin levels were unaffected.TRANSLATE with x EnglishArabicHebrewPolishBulgarianHindiPortugueseCatalanHmong DawRomanianChinese SimplifiedHungarianRussianChinese TraditionalIndonesianSlovakCzechItalianSlovenianDanishJapaneseSpanishDutchKlingonSwedishEnglishKoreanThaiEstonianLatvianTurkishFinnishLithuanianUkrainianFrenchMalayUrduGermanMalteseVietnameseGreekNorwegianWelshHaitian CreolePersian //  TRANSLATE with COPY THE URL BELOW Back EMBED THE SNIPPET BELOW IN YOUR SITE Enable collaborative features and customize widget: Bing Webmaster PortalBack//

Abstract

Introduction: Atherosclerosis is a cardiovascular disease which is the leading cause of 16% of the world's total deaths. The main comorbidities of atherosclerosis are obesity and diabetes mellitus. One of obesity surgery treatment that is currently very often used is the Sleeve Gastrectomy. Sleeve Gastrectomy is the most effective and significant long-term therapy for weight loss and preventing various comorbidities such as heart disease. This study analyze the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on the expression of atherosclerosis anti-inflammatory cytokines (TGF-β and IL-10) in the abdominal aorta on the process of atherosclerosis in obesity and diabetes mellitus subjects.Methods: An in vivo laboratory experimental study with post-test control group design on 15 male rats (Sprague Dawley) that was randomly divided into 3 groups: K1 (negative control), K2 (positive control with obesity and diabetes mellitus) and P1 (obese and DM rats treated with sleeve gastrectomy). After 10th day of the procedure, we analyze the body weight, fasting blood glucose, and gene expression of TGF-β and IL-10 using the PCR method. Statistical analysis was done using Anova, Kruskal Wallis and Post Hoc LSD.Results: There was significant decrease in body weight (p=0,000) and fasting blood sugar levels (p=0,000) in the P1 compared to the K2. There was significant increase of TGF-β (p = 0,005) and IL-10 (p = 0,002) gene expression in P1 compared to K1 and K2.Conclusion: SG decreased body weight and fasting blood sugar levels of obese and DM subjects. Also improved the expression of atherosclerosis anti-inflammatory cytokines (TGF-β and IL-10) in abdominal aorta.

Abstract

Background: Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) refer to a spectrum of congenital conditions involving atypical chromosomal, gonadal, or phenotypic development. Although recent studies have improved our understanding of the medical management of DSD, the psychosocial impact and the role of multidisciplinary care in addressing these challenges remain less well known.Objective: This review aims to examine the classification, diagnostic approaches, and medical and psychosocial challenges associated with DSD, while also highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary support.Methods: A narrative review was conducted to explore the current research and clinical guidelines on DSD, including studies on medical management and psychosocial interventions.Results: The review found that early diagnosis and management are essential to reducing life-threatening risks and psychosocial distress in individuals with DSD. The impact of societal stigma, gender identity complexities, and increased rates of anxiety and depression were observed to contribute to body image concerns. A multidisciplinary care team, involving psychiatrists, endocrinologists, and other specialists, was highlighted as critical for holistic patient care.Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in addressing both the medical and psychosocial aspects of DSD. While collaborative decision-making and individualized care strategies showed positive outcomes, further research is needed to optimize long-term health and quality of life for individuals with DSD.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease that can cause microvascular and macrovascular complications. The formation of superoxide (O2-) by dysfunctional mitochondria in diabetes has been recognised as a major driver of diabetic complications. Consequently, the utilisation of antioxidants may prove advantageous. The plant Andredera cordifolia contains flavonoids, which act as antioxidants.Objective : to investigate the effect of binahong leaf extract on the development of atherosclerosis in the carotid artery.Methods: The research employed a laboratory experimental method with a randomised post-test control group design. The research subjects were 15 Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). In this research, the extraction of the active compounds was achieved through a maceration process using 96% ethanol (1:3) and emulsification by the addition of sunflower oil, CMC, Span80 and Tween 20. The analysis of Anredera cordifolia extract content included the determination of flavonoid content and IC50. The intervention will be conducted for a period of 14 days. The rats were administered 1 ml of aquades per day, 45 mg/kg BW of metformin (K+), 200 mg/kg BW of EAC (P1), and 400 mg/kg BW of EAC (P2). The diabetic model was induced using a single dose of 50 mg/kgBW streptozotocin intraperitoneally. On the fourteenth day following the induction of treatment, blood glucose measurements were taken using the GOD-PAP method, and a histopathological examination of the common carotid artery was conducted using eosin haematoxylin staining at a magnification of 100-400x.Results: The total flavonoid content of binahong leaves is 1525 mg/100 g extract, while the IC50 value is 1.9 ppm. The results of the ANOVA indicate a statistically significant difference between the fasting blood glucose levels of the two groups (p < 0.05). The post hoc test demonstrated that a 400 mg/kgBW dose can result in a reduction in glucose levels to 305.75 mg/dl, with a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). The Mann-Whitney test revealed a statistically significant difference among the groups (p < 0.05) for the inhibition of atherosclerosis in the common carotid artery. Conclusion: A significant difference was observed in the administration of 400 mg/kgBB binahong leaf emulsion extract in comparison to a negative control group, with regard to the histopathological picture of atherosclerosis of the common carotid artery
