Abstract

Background: Aloe  vera (Aloe vera L) and honey (Calliandra calothyrsus)  have many benefits, especially in Indonesia, aloe vera and honey are also often used as drugs for various diseases because of their content which has many health benefits.  Objective: This study aims to determine the comparison between aloe vera (Aloe vera L)  and honey (Calliandra calothyrsus)  as an inhibitor of the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.Method: This study uses true experimental design  in microbiological test with post test only control group design. With the treatment of aloe vera gel (Aloe vera L) and kaliandra honey (Calliandra calothyrsus) and ciprofloxacin antibiotics as a positive control and aquades as a negative control against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria  to see antibacterial effectiveness using diffusion methods in thelaboratory.Results: The most effective variable was kaliandra honey (Calliandra calothyrsus) with concentrations of 50%, 75% and 100% with p values of 0.03, 0.01, and 0.03 respectively when compared to using aloe vera gel (Aloe vera L) with concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% which obtained the results could not at all inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Conclusions and Suggestions:  This research can be used as a theoretical basis, so that people can choose a more appropriate ingredient, namely kaliandra honey (Calliandra calothyrsus) rather than using aloe vera gel (Aloe vera L) to be used as herbal medicine by people who experience Staphylococcus aureus  bacterial infections. Other researchers are also advised to be able to use other variables or other types of aloe  vera (Aloe vera L) and honey from the nectar of other flowers to conduct similar studies.

Abstract

Aging is a complex physiological process influenced by various factors including oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular damage. Natural compounds, particularly Panax ginseng, have garnered significant interest in traditional medicine for their anti-aging potential. This study aims to comprehensively review the anti-aging properties of P. ginseng, examining its traditional applications, molecular mechanisms, and clinical evidence. A narrative review methodology was employed, analyzing data from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases, incorporating both traditional knowledge and contemporary scientific research. Results demonstrate that P. ginseng exhibits significant anti-aging effects through multiple pathways: antioxidant activity, cellular regeneration enhancement, and collagen synthesis stimulation. Ginsenosides, the primary bioactive compounds, show particular efficacy in reducing oxidative stress and supporting cognitive function. However, challenges persist in standardizing clinical applications due to variations in ginsenoside content and study methodologies. While current evidence supports P. ginseng's therapeutic potential, standardized clinical trials are essential to establish optimal dosing protocols and evaluate long-term safety.  Future research should address drug interactions and efficacy across diverse populations.

Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth leading cause of death in the world, often associated with an unhealthy diet, including low consumption of fruits, vegetables, and fiber, and high intake of red meat. This study aims to compare the results of laboratory examinations and clinical manifestations in patients undergoing chemotherapy using Folfox and CapeOX regimens at Ibnu Sina Teaching Hospital, UMI Waqf Foundation, Makassar. The method used was descriptive design with cross-sectional approach and purposive sampling technique. The results showed that in Folfox regimen chemotherapy patients, there were 90.9% with low erythrocytes and 95.5% with low hemoglobin, while in CapeOX regimen, 59.1% of patients had low erythrocytes. Of the 22 patients in each regimen, 14 patients (Folfox) and 9 patients (CapeOX) reported complaints. Comparison of leukocyte examination between the two regimens showed a significant association with a p-value of 0.044 (p<0.05), while examination of erythrocytes, platelets, hemoglobin, blood sugar, and clinical manifestations did not show a significant association (p>0.05). This study provides insight into the impact of each chemotherapy regimen on the patient's condition.
