Abstract

Diabetes and obesity go hand in hand. Antidiabetic drugs are effective in treating diabetes. However, currently available antidiabetic drugs are too expensive, do not work, and cause major side effects. A significant therapeutic option for Diabetes Mellitus and obesity is using bioactive chemicals produced by plants. This compound is efficacious, easily accessible, safe, and affordable. The main aim of this study was to determine whether pancreatic extract from Moringa oleifera flowers affected blood amylase and lipase levels, as well as the histological appearance, of obese male Wistar white rats (Rattus norvegicus). This is a True experimental study, with the research design used as a test control Group Design. The research data was then analyzed with the help of SPSS using ANOVA and Post Hoc Test with LSD technique. This researcher used 24 male rats. Treatment with Moringa oleifera flower extract improves pancreatic function in obese Wistar white rats by reducing serum lipase and amylase levels. The results of research on serum lipase and amylase levels showed that a dose of 600mg/Kg BW improved pancreatic function in white rats of the Wistar strain that were obese.

Abstract

UV rays are oxidative because they can produce Reactive Oxygen Species and free radical compounds. The dangers of sun exposure can cause skin disorders such as aging at an early age (photoaging). Rosella flower petals can be used in medicine, jams, and natural food coloring because they contain flavonoids as antioxidants or free radical scavengers. The research aimed to determine the effect of administering Rosella (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) flower extract gel on TNF-α expression and Caspase-3 expression in an in vivo study of Wistar mice exposed to UVB. This research is an experimental study. The sample for each treatment group consisted of 6 individuals, so the total research sample was 24. Data analysis used descriptive, normality, and homogeneity tests with data analysis processing using SPSS 25.0 for Windows. The study found that administration of rosella flower extract gel with a concentration of 15% effectively reduced the expression of TNF-α and Caspase-3 in mice exposed to UVB light and produced filled and dense collagen. So, it can be concluded that rosella flower extract gel can act as an antioxidant that inhibits the growth of TNF-α and Caspase-3 expression.

Abstract

Wounds result in loss of epithelial continuity with or without loss of underlying connective tissue. The dynamic and complex wound-healing process restores tissue integrity and balance. Medicinal plants in herbal medicine, namely Binahong, help heal wounds. This study tested binahong (Anredera cardifolia) leaf extract ointment on the thickness of granulation tissue in white rat (Rattus novergicus) incision wounds. Binahong leaf extract was applied at 15%, 25%, and 35%, then the wound was examined macroscopically and histopathologically. The type of research was a true experiment with a sample of 24 male Wistar rats, six per group, in four groups (control, treatment 1, treatment 2, treatment 3). The histopathological image of granulation tissue thickness shows that the P0 group (blue) has less collagen density. Treatment group 3 (P3) with 35% binahong leaf extract showed thick collagen. Analysis of the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and significant paired t-test values greater than p>0.05 for all groups. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test shows that the data is regularly distributed. Paired T-test showed significant differences in incision wound healing between groups (p-value <0.05). The research concludes that binahong leaf extract has antiseptic, antibacterial, and ascorbic acid properties and protects against oxidation, so it is helpful for wound healing.

Abstract

Obesity and high cholesterol levels have garnered clinical attention for male infertility. The numerous compounds in Kelor flowers or Moringa make it a potential cholesterol medication. The research data were analyzed using SPSS, and the study was conducted as a true experiment using test animal samples of twenty-four male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). The purpose of this study was to examine the histopathological features of obese male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) and to determine whether or not the administration of Kelor flower extract (Moringa ternatea) reduced cholesterol levels and improved testicular function. Obese white Wistar rats had their total cholesterol levels decreased by 400 mg/kgBW and 600 mg/kgBW of Kelor flower extract, respectively, according to the study's results. The group that received 600 mg/kgBW of Kelor flower extract showed the most improvement and was the most similar to the control group in testicular histopathology studies. The substances found in Kelor or Moringa flowers have been found to improve testicular function and lower total cholesterol levels in people who suffer from obesity, according to the research.

Abstract

The referral quality will affect the outcome of referred patients. The quality of emergency referrals from the Public Health Center (PHC) in Banten Province has not been examined. This study aims to analyze the quality of emergency referrals from PHC and the factors that influence it. Observational analytics with a retrospective approach to a PHC in Banten Province, Indonesia. The reference data for March-May 2023 is taken consecutively. Data on the demographics of referrers and referral cases are recorded. The quality of referrals is analyzed using national personal referral standards. A total of 52 referral cases were involved in the study. Referrals were made by nurses with an average age of 28.2 years with a range of 23-43 years, men (38/73.1%), and with diploma education (30/57.7%). Most of the referring nurses have a valid Basic Life Support (BLS) certificate (46/88.5), are non-civil servants, and work for an average of 3.3 years. Most of the referred cases are surgical (28/53.8) and urgency cases (32/61.5). Forty-four referral cases (84.6%) did not meet national referral standards. The referring nurse's educational background and the urgency of the case had a significant relationship with the quality of referrals with p values < α values of 0.05 (0.000 and 0.000 respectively). There was no significant relationship between referral quality and patient/family satisfaction. Conclusion: Most PHC's emergency referrals to hospital emergency departments (ED) have not complied with national standards. There was a significant relationship between the education of the referring nurse and the level of urgency of the case with the quality of PHC referrals. There is no relationship between referral quality and patient/family satisfaction. National technical guidelines for individual referrals for emergency cases are needed.

Abstract

Antenatal care is crucial for the survival of both the mother and fetus during pregnancy and childbirth. ANC services consist of observation, education, and treatment for pregnant women. The objective of this research is to identify the factors that affect maternal compliance with Antenatal Care Visits at the Eka Sriwahyuni Clinic in Medan. The research design is analytical observation. The study population comprised of 17 pregnant women who attended Posyandu Klinik Eka Sriwahyuni Medan. The sample was selected using total sampling technique. Data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi Square test (p value <0.05). The study found that 64.7% of respondents had sufficient knowledge, 70.6% had attitudes in the sufficient category, and 52.9% had husband support in the sufficient and partial categories. Additionally, 64.7% of respondents had good compliance with visits. The chi-square test results indicate a relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and husband's support factors and compliance with Antenatal Care Visits at the Eka Sriwahyuni Clinic in Medan. To further explore factors that may influence ANC visit compliance, future researchers should consider economic factors and distance from health facilities. This research involved visiting respondents individually, which may have been less effective.

Abstract

Perinatal depression, commonly known as postpartum depression, is a serious complication of childbirth that can have significant adverse effects on both the mother and baby. It typically occurs 4-6 weeks after giving birth. Mothers require family and social support to cope with stress during the postpartum period, which is caused by sudden hormonal changes that affect mood swings, the burden of household work, and caring for the baby and mother. This can result in fatigue and lack of sleep. The research aims to analyze the impact of family and social support on the occurrence of depression. The study employed an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional approach to examine the population of postpartum mothers aged 0-6 weeks in the Sukoharjo District Health Service work area. The sample size consisted of 160 respondents selected through Multistage Random Sampling. The study utilized family support questionnaires, social support, and EPDS (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) as instruments. Logistic regression and Odd Ratio were used for data analysis. The data analysis results for family support yielded a P-value of 0.027 < (0.05) and an OR value of 5.787. The analysis for social support resulted in a P-value of 0.025 < (0.05) and an OR value of 5.693. These results indicate a significant influence of family and social support on the occurrence of DEPRESSION. Mothers who lack family and social support are at a higher risk of experiencing DEPRESSION, with a risk 5.787 and 5.693 times higher, respectively. Healthcare professionals should prioritize the significance of family and social support for postpartum mothers, providing both emotional and technical assistance. This includes aiding mothers in caring for their babies, self-care, and household tasks to mitigate the risk of postpartum depression.

Abstract

Purpose This research analyzes the characteristics and determinants of repeat users of Implan contraception in Surakarta. Method This is a quantitative-research using a cross-sectional survey approach with 117 purposively selected samples. Data was collected using a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability using the Cronbach's Alpha formula, with a reference value of ≥ 0.07. The data was analyzed through univariate and bivariate analyses using the chi-square test and multivariate analysis with logistic regression. The analysis was developed through a three-stage backward conditional modeling process. The first stage involved screening variables that met the criteria for inclusion in multivariate analysis. The second stage analyzed variables that were significantly related to the dependent variable. In the third stage, the variables contributing the most to the dependent variable were determined. Results: In the first stage of modeling analysis, it was found that the education level variable could not be included in the multivariable analysis. In the second stage, six variables were analyzed, and only three variables showed a strong and significant relationship, which were employment status with an Odds Ratio (OR) of 3.05, parity with an OR of 4.62, and the age of the last child with an OR of 2. In the third stage, by examining the magnitude of the Odds Ratio, it was determined that the parity variable with an OR of 4.62 was the strongest variable related to the dependent variable. Conclusion; The characteristics of repeated Implan method users are working mothers, having children aged at least three years, having at least two children, being married for more than 10 years, and having both male and female children.

Abstract

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) Lifestyle factors contribute to fatty liver disease. Physical activity, weight loss, and antioxidant-rich components like Salak herb are used to minimize liver disease. The study examined how Salak bark extract affected liver function in white male Wistar rats, an obesity model, and histopathology. An actual experiment or laboratory experimental design is used in this quantitative research. Four experimental groups of 24 mice were employed. Research data was analyzed with SPSS 25.0. Normality test findings reveal 2-tailed significance of 0.991 > 0.05. The One-Way ANOVA test at a 95% confidence level for the SGOT liver function analysis data showed the same variance, 0.233 (p>0.05) and 0.718 (p>0.05) for the SGPT liver function analysis. Histopathological studies showed snake fruit extract at 300mg/BW scored 3 (Hydropic degeneration), 500mg/BW scored 2 (Parenchymatous degeneration), and 700mg/BW scored 1 (Normal). The phytochemical screening of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and glycosides demonstrated that Salak bark extract's secondary metabolite concentration contains antioxidant-effective active components. The study demonstrated no inflammation, cell improvement, necrosis, or fat at 700 mg/BW.
