Abstract

Introduction: Malaria is a parasite illness that continues to pose a global health challenge, largely because of the rise of medication resistance. Researchers are concentrating on discovering novel medicines that specifically target critical parasite proteins to address this issue. The peels of Hylocereus polyrhizus (dragon fruit) contain betalains which exhibit antiplasmodial activity. This research examines the efficacy of six betalaines derived from H. polyrhizus peels in inhibiting specific Plasmodium falciparum proteins through in silico techniques. Methods: The protein structures were acquired from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and processed by eliminating non-protein molecules. The 3D structures of the betalaine ligands were obtained from PubChem and optimized with Avogadro 1.2.0. Using the Pyrx 0.8 system with Autodock Vina, the ligands were docked to the proteins. The research assessed ADMET characteristics of the ligands utilizing the SwissADME and ProTox-II platforms, respectively. Results: The molecular docking data indicate that Phyllocactin had the highest binding affinity of -10.7 kcal/mol to PfPNP. Hylocerenin had the highest binding affinity to PfDHFR-TS at -9.4 kcal/mol. The investigation of amino acid interactions indicated that Hylocerenin engages with essential residues, specifically Lys27 and Lys28, in PfDHFR-TS. Regarding ADMET characteristics, all six betalaines exhibited minimal gastrointestinal absorption and lacked permeability across the blood-brain barrier. Moreover, Hylocerenin was anticipated to be non-immunotoxic, presenting a notable benefit over other substances such as Betacyanin and Phyllocactin, which were forecasted to have immunotoxic effects. Conclusions: Hylocerenin and Phyllocactin are the most promising antiplasmodial possibilities among the examined betalaine compounds. Hylocerenin is a primary candidate for the inhibition of PfDHFR-TS, whereas Phyllocactin is a prominent candidate for the inhibition of PfPNP. The results indicate that betalaine compounds derived from H. polyrhizus peels merit more research as a novel category of antimalarial medicines

Abstract

Background: Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus that can lead to hepatocellular damage. Liver enzyme tests, namely Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT) and Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT), are used as important indicators in assessing the degree of liver damage. Objective: This study aimed to describe the levels of SGOT and SGPT in hepatitis B patients at Karsa Husada Hospital, Batu Malang, during the period of January–December 2024. Methods: This research employed a quantitative descriptive method using secondary data from medical records of 39 patients. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate approaches. Results: The results showed that elevated SGOT levels were found in 35 patients (89.7%), while normal levels were observed in 4 patients (10.3%). Elevated SGPT levels were observed in 27 patients (69.2%), while 12 patients (30.8%) had normal levels. Based on sex, elevated SGOT levels were more prevalent in males (23 patients, 95.8%) compared to females (12 patients, 80.0%), while elevated SGPT levels were also dominant in males (20 patients, 83.3%) compared to females (7 patients, 46.7%). Based on age groups, the highest elevated SGOT levels were found in adults (22 patients, 91.7%), followed by adolescents (7 patients, 87.5%) and elderly (6 patients, 85.7%). Correlation test results showed a coefficient value of r = 0.380 with p = 0.017 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings indicate that the majority of hepatitis B patients experienced elevated SGOT and SGPT levels, with predominance among adult males, and there was a significant correlation between the two liver enzymes.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) remains a major global health challenge, with prevalence increasing both worldwide and in Indonesia, including Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi. Preventive strategies that integrate community engagement and local food systems are urgently needed. Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive design to explore community experiences, perceptions, and involvement in diversifying scad fish into value-added products as a strategy for DM prevention. Research was conducted in Kendari with 32 participants, including health cadres, women’s groups, small and medium enterprise (SME) fish processors, and community leaders. Data collection methods consisted of in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation, and document review. Thematic analysis was applied using Miles and Huberman’s framework, supported by triangulation and member checking to ensure credibility. Results: Findings revealed that scad fish, though abundant and affordable, was underutilized due to low preference compared to other fish species. Through participatory processes, communities co-developed scad fish floss and crackers, which were widely accepted for their practicality, longer shelf life, and cultural compatibility. Mothers reported replacing sugary snacks with scad-based products, indicating positive dietary shifts, while SMEs and women’s groups gained new livelihood opportunities. Community involvement particularly by health cadres and local leaders was identified as the central factor ensuring acceptance, sustainability, and dissemination of the intervention. Conclusions: The diversification of scad fish into floss and crackers demonstrates a culturally relevant, sustainable, and community-driven approach to DM prevention. Beyond improving nutrition, this intervention also strengthens local economies and promotes social empowerment. The study provides a model for integrating health promotion with local food resources, offering implications for future community-based strategies in resource-rich settings.

Abstract

Introduction:Stunting remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, including in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas H.A.H Hasan Binjai. Mothers’ perceptions and feeding practices are critical determinants influencing child growth and nutritional status. Understanding how mothers perceive the direct and indirect causes of stunting is essential to develop effective, culturally appropriate interventions at the community level. Methods:This study employed a qualitative exploratory design to explore mothers’ perceptions of stunting determinants. In-depth interviews were conducted with eight informants, comprising five mothers of toddlers, one community health volunteer, one village midwife, and one nutrition officer. Data were analyzed thematically through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing following the Miles and Huberman framework. Results:The findings indicated that most mothers had limited understanding of nutrition, emphasizing food quantity rather than quality. Exclusive breastfeeding practices were suboptimal due to misconceptions that watery breast milk lacks nutrition. Complementary feeding (MP-ASI) was monotonous and low in animal protein. Indirect determinants such as unstructured parenting, limited family support, and poor economic conditions contributed to stunting risk. The main barriers identified were economic hardship, time limitations, and limited access to health services. Mothers with positive perceptions demonstrated more consistent preventive behaviors, such as exclusive breastfeeding, providing diverse complementary foods, and active participation in community health programs. Conclusions:Mothers’ perceptions significantly influence stunting prevention behaviors. Low nutritional literacy, cultural beliefs, and economic challenges remain key barriers. Effective prevention efforts require family-based and culturally tailored nutrition education supported by community health cadres to enhance maternal understanding and sustainable child health practices. Keywords:Mothers’ perception, stunting, prevention
