Abstract

Background: Pneumonia is an acute infection of the lower respiratory tract characterized by coughing and shortness of breath caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria. Sansevieria contains flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, and steroids known to have antibacterial properties that can destroy the bacterial cell walls.  Objectives: This study aimed to determine the antibacterial activity of Sansevieria leaf extract against the growth of K. pneumoniae.  Materials and Methods: Detection of antibacterial activity of Sansevieria was conducted with disc-diffusion test. The presence of antibacterial activity is indicated by the appearance of inhibition (clear) zone after applying the extract at a concentration of 60-100% to the culture medium. As a positive control, the antibiotic chloramphenicol was used.  Results: The higher the extract concentration, the higher the inhibition zone formed. The inhibition zone formed from extract concentrations of 60%, 70%, 80% is classified as medium (d = 8; 8.5; 9 mm). Meanwhile, the inhibition zones at concentrations of 90% and 100% are 10.5 and 13.5 mm and are classified as strong. The clear zone of the positive control was 29 mm (very strong). Conclusions: Sansevieria leaf extract has the potential to inhibit the growth of K. pneumoniae bacteria.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia due to abnormalities in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Type II diabetes mellitus is caused by the pancreas gland being unable to meet the body's insulin needs. The HbA1c test reflects the average blood glucose level for 2-3 months or about 120 days before the test. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory biomarker that is often used to assess the level of systemic inflammation. Elevated CRP levels have been associated with insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, and the development of atherosclerosis, all of which contribute to complications in diabetic patients. Therefore, further research is needed to evaluate the correlation between HbA1c and CRP levels, to better understand the relationship between glycemic control and systemic inflammation. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and HbA1c levels in patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus. Materials and Methods: This study used purposive sampling technique and analytic survey with cross-sectional approach. Results:  Data analysis using the Chi-Square test obtained a p-value of 0.536, where if Sig> 0.05 then it shows there is no significant relationship. So, there is no relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and HbA1c levels in Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients.

Abstract

Background: The use of natural dyes in microscopic examinations, such as the identification of Soil-Transmitted Helminth (STH) eggs, provides a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative. Miana Leaves (Plectranthus scutellaroides), which contain high levels of anthocyanins, have the potential to serve as an effective natural dye for staining STH eggs in fecal samples. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the staining efficacy of miana leaf extract (Plectranthus scutellaroides) in identifying STH eggs by comparing different extract concentrations. Materials and Method: An experimental approach with descriptive data analysis was employed. Various concentrations of miana leaf extract (1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 ratios with distilled water) were tested on fecal samples positive for STH eggs. Results: The 1:2 concentration of miana leaf extract yielded optimal contrast and clear visualization of STH egg morphology, while the 1:1 concentration resulted in excessive staining and the 1:3 concentration produced pale staining. Conclusions: Miana leaf extract, particularly at a 1:2 concentration, is effective as a natural stain for STH egg identification. Further research should explore its application in broader parasitological diagnostic contexts.
