Abstract

Introduction: The condition of the feet that are often covered by socks and shoes causes the feet to become sweaty and moist. If the sweat is mixed with the bacteria that are involved in the degradation process, it will cause an odor. Preventing foot odor requires a convenient antibacterial product such as foot spray. However, many foot spray products contain high levels of alcohol, which can cause skin irritation. Therefore, the implementation of natural antibacterial ingredients needs to be incorporated to reduce its use, such as kersen leaves (Muntingia calabura L.). Objectives: Knowing and analyzing foot spray preparations and their benefits as antibacterial against Staphylococcus epidermidis. Method: This research is a true experimental design with a post-test only control group. The study involved five treatment groups: kersen leaf extract foot spray at concentrations of 1%, 5%, and 10%; a positive control group consisting of commercial foot spray (Guardian); and a negative control group which utilized foot spray base with S. epidermidis as the test bacteria. The method of antibacterial testing uses the disc diffusion method. The results were analyzed using the One-Way Anova statistical test. Result: The kersen leaf extract foot spray preparation was tested for its ability to inhibit the growth of S. epidermidis. Results showed that the inhibition zone diameter at 1% concentration was moderate (7.82 mm), while at 5% concentration it remained moderate (8.62 mm), and at 10% concentration it classified as strong (10.28 mm). The analysis results found significant differences between treatment groups with a significance value of p < 0.05. Conclusion: Kersen leaf extract (Muntingia calabura L.) foot spray preparation has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis and all formulations have optimal physical characteristics. Keywords: Kersen Leaf Extract; Muntingia calabura L.; Foot Spray; Antibacterial; Staphylococcus epidermidis

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Environmental contaminants and hazardous substances are the initiators that cause damage to human organs. DMBA found in motor vehicle pollutants, cigarettes, burning factory fumes can cause liver damage. The liver that is constantly exposed to toxic substances can be damaged. Turmeric with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory can prevent further damage. Objective: To determine the effect of giving turmeric extract (Curcuma longa) on the liver histopathological picture of male Sprague Dawley rats induced 7,12 Dimethylbenzene α anthracene (DMBA). Methods: This study used an experimental method with a post only control group design approach. The sample in this study consisted of 30 rats which were divided into 6 groups each consisting of 5 rats. The research data were tested with the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and continued with the non-parametric Kruskall Wallis test. Results: The kruskall wallis test obtained p value = 0.011 (p> 0.05) indicating a significant difference between the test groups, followed by the Mann Whitney test which showed insignificant differences for the DMBA and turmeric extract groups on the histopathological picture of the liver. However, there was a decrease in the rate of liver damage after giving turmeric Conclusion: There is a decrease in the average degree of liver damage induced by DMBA after giving turmeric extract but there is no significant difference. Keywords: DMBA, Turmeric Extract, Liver Histopathology.

Abstract

Introduction: Pneumonia is a common lower respiratory infection affecting all ages, caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a bacterial cause showing high antibiotic resistance, complicating treatment. As a result, alternative treatments using medicinal plants with antibacterial properties are needed. One promising plant is faloak (Sterculia quadrifida R.Br), traditionally used in herbal medicine and believed to have potential antibacterial effects worth further investigation. Methods: This study employed a true experimental method with a post-test only control group design. The treatment groups were given 70% ethanol extract of faloak bark at various concentrations (100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, and 3.12%). There were also a positive control group (meropenem antibiotic) and a negative control group (sterile distilled water). Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The 70% ethanol extract of faloak bark showed antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae, with a significance value of p = 0.002 (< 0.05), indicating a significant difference in the inhibition zone diameters. Discussion: The extract demonstrated antibacterial properties and the ability to inhibit the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Conclusion: The 70% ethanol extract of faloak bark (Sterculia quadrifida R.Br) exhibits antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae.
