Abstract

This study aims to determine the quality of commercial control materials and homemade lyophilisates using the sigma metric method for BUN and creatinine parameters in a primary clinical laboratory. This cross-sectional study conducted 20 examinations on both types of control materials. The results showed that for the BUN parameter, homemade lyophilisates had a sigma value of 1 (unacceptable), while the commercial control material had a sigma value of 2 (poor). For the creatinine parameter, both homemade lyophilisates and commercial control materials had a sigma value of 3 (marginal). There was a significant difference in quality between commercial control materials and homemade lyophilisates for the BUN parameter, so homemade lyophilisate cannot be used as an alternative to commercial control materials. However, for the creatinine parameter, there was no significant difference in quality between the two control materials, so homemade lyophilisates can be used as an alternative to commercial control materials. Thus, this study shows that homemade lyophilisates can be an effective and economical alternative for creatinine parameters, but not for BUN parameters. This research can help primary clinical laboratories to develop more effective and efficient quality control strategies.

Abstract

Background: Menopause generally occurs in women aged 45–55 years. Various factors influence the age of menopause, including the possibility of early onset (premature menopause). Menopause has a significant impact on women's quality of life, ranging from physical changes and psychological disturbances to an increased risk of degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis and heart disease. This study aims to analyze the determinants influencing menopause among women aged 40–60 years at the Kamboja Posyandu in Tambakmas Village. Methods: This is a quantitative study using an analytic survey approach with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 200 women aged 40–60 years at the Kamboja Posyandu, from which a sample of 134 women was selected using proportional simple random sampling. Independent variables included age, genetics, lifestyle, general health, medical interventions, and environmental exposure. The dependent variable was menopause status. Data were collected using an interview questionnaire and analyzed using multinomial logistic regression with a 95% confidence level and a significance threshold of α = 0.05. Results: The findings indicate that increasing age, a family history of early menopause, unhealthy lifestyle, medical interventions, and environmental exposure significantly increase the likelihood of experiencing menopause. Analysis showed that five out of the six independent variables—age, genetics, lifestyle, medical interventions, and environment—had a statistically significant influence on menopause (p < 0.05). General health did not show a significant association with menopause (p = 0.840). Conclusion: The study concludes that the occurrence of menopause among women aged 40–60 years in the study area is influenced by a combination of age, genetic factors, lifestyle, medical interventions, and environmental conditions. These findings can serve as a basis for designing more targeted community-based intervention strategies, particularly in the form of menopause health education for healthcare workers and policymakers. The study is expected to serve as a reference to enhance women’s awareness and preparedness in facing the menopausal transition in a healthy and informed manner.

Abstract

ematoxylin-Eosin staining begins with deparaffinization. Deparaffinization aims to remove the remaining paraffin in the tissue and xylol is a commonly used deparaffinization material but the use of xylol has a bad impact on health and also the environment because of its toxic nature besides the price of xylol is relatively more expensive. A more natural material that is not harmful to the body and the environment is needed as an alternative to xylol. Sunflower oil is a type of vegetable oil that contains oleic acid. The oleic acid content in sunflower oil has a chain of carbon atoms that is non-polar and water insoluble so that it can dissolve paraffin which is non-polar and hydrophobic. This study was conducted at Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Airlangga University, Veterinary Farm Center and the Cytohistotechnology Laboratory of the Medical Laboratory Technology Department of the Surabaya Ministry of Health Polytechnic also this study was conducted from January - May 2025. which examined the differences in the quality of mice kidney histology preparations using xylol and sunflower oil in the deparaffinization process with experimental research methods and the sample size obtained using the federer formula was 24 preparations and divided into 4 groups including xylol, sunflower oil at 50oC for 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 15 minutes. The data were statistically processed with the Kruskal Wallis non-parametric test and the results showed that Ho was accepted (P = 0.350) so it can be concluded that there is no significant difference between the preparations deparafinitation with sunflower oil and xylol in hematoxylin eosin

Abstract

The fixation stage is the initial stage of making histopathology preparations whose role is to maintain the cell structure of the tissue so that it is like living tissue and prevent tissue damage, thus facilitating the process of macroscopic and microscopic analysis. The fixative solution that is often used for standard preservation in anatomical pathology laboratory examinations is Neutral Buffered Formalin (NBF) 10%, which has the advantage of a pH that is close to neutral and effective in fixing soft tissue for 12-24 hours. However, NBF 10% is carcinogenic and has high toxicity. There is a natural fixative solution, honey, which contains fructose and glucose and has an acidic pH that has antimicrobial, antioxidant and antiautolysis properties. In addition, honey has also been widely used as a preservative because it is easily available, affordable, and without toxicity effects. The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of the quality of histology preparations of mice heart tissue fixed with 10% NBF and 13% honey with time variations. This research is a type of laboratory experimental research conducted in November 2024-April 2025. The sample used is the heart of healthy male mice. The number of sample preparations used was 27 sample preparations. Data analysis through scoring and statistically processed using non-parametric Kruskal-Walis test, if there is a difference followed by Mann-Whitney test. The results showed that fixation with 13% honey solution with a time variation of 24 hours has the same comparison of preparation quality results with 10% NBF solution for 24 hours. Based on the Mann-Whitney test, the result is 0.018 (p < 0.05) for 13% honey solution for 12 hours and 0.634 (p > 0.05) for 13% honey solution for 24 hours. It can be concluded that fixation with 13% honey solution for 24 hours is effective as an alternative fixation solution with natural ingredients that are safe in fixing tissues
