Abstract

The Synergistic of antibacterial is an interaction of two antibacterial agents that produces a greater inhibitory effect on bacteria, compared to the individual antibacterial effects of the two agents. The purpose of this study was to determine the synergistic effect of anti-bacterial extract of sapodilla fruit (Achras zapota L.) and water gourd (Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl.) extract against Salmonella typhi bacteria. Extraction of sapodilla fruit and water gourd fruit was carried out by maceration method using 96% ethanol (1:10). Determination of the value of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of anti-bacterial sapodilla manila fruit and water gourd fruit was carried out by the checkerboard assay method using a 96 wells microplate by calculating the Fractional Inhibition Concentration Index (FICI) value. The results showed that the single MIC value of sapodilla manila fruit and water gourd fruit respectively are 50 mg/mL and 100 mg/mL. The interaction between the two is expressed as a Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index (FICI) with a value of 1.5. The FICI values ​​indicate different antibacterial effects of the combination of sapodilla fruit and water gourd fruit against Salmonella typhi.

Abstract

Antibiotic resistance to pathogenic bacteria has developed in a short period of time and is faster than has been thought. Therefore, it is necessary to find new antibiotic alternatives that are sourced from natural materials such as endophytic molds of dahlia tubers. This study was conducted to test the antibacterial activity of endophytic molds isolated from dahlia bulbs against Staphylococcus aureus and Stenotrophomonasmaltophilia strain W1-2. The results of the selection of antimicrobial activity of endophytic mold isolated from the dahlia tuber were fermented using the shaking method on Potato Dextrose Broth medium. The results of fermentation are tested for antibacterial activity using the disc diffusion method. Of the 10 isolated endophytic molds, two isolates with antibacterial activity were obtained, namely A-1 and A-7 isolates. The results of the antibacterial activity test of A-1 isolate against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria had the highest inhibition zone of 32.75 mm and Stenotrophomonasmaltophilia strain W1-2 had the highest inhibition zone of 19.25 mm. In A-7 isolate against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria had the highest inhibition zone of 29.5 mm and against Stenotrophomonasmaltophilia strain W1-2 had the highest inhibition zone of 15.25 mm. Based on the results of the antibacterial activity test carried out by the isolate, the isolate mold isolates with codes A-1 and A-7 have the highest antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and have a strong inhibitory power against Stenotrophomonasmaltophilia strain W1-2. The results showed that molds A-1 and A-7 had the potential to be antibacterial agents and GC-MS analysis of antibiotic compounds detected by hexanorlabdane. Molecular identification using the ITS gene observed that the A-1 mold isolate was 100% similar to the genomic2011f6MT558940.1 strain of Aspergillus Fumigatus

Abstract

Aging is an unavoidable physiological process. The process of premature aging is prevented using natural anti-aging cosmetics derived from plants. Cosmetics can be used as anti-aging products. Therefore, plants can be used as substitutes for anti-aging chemicals with fewer side effects. There are many herbal plants that are empirically used by the Baduy community and have potential as anti-aging agents with tyrosinase inhibitory and antioxidant activities. Evidence of anti-aging activity can be obtained by testing the effects of each herbal plant, which has been conducted by several researchers previously. The purpose of this article is to provide information on which plants have the potential as anti-aging agents for cosmetic raw materials thru a literature review of journals in electronic databases. The results obtained from several plants such as Carica papaya L., Kaempferia galanga, Psidium guajava, Zingiber officinale var. Rubrum, Piper bettle, Caesalpinia sappan L, and Etlingera elatior (Jack) R.M. Sm have tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Orthosiphon stamineus B., Coleus scutellarioides (L.) Benth, and Imperata cylindrica (L) Beauv., the cogongrass plant, use an antioxidant approach as anti-aging. In conclusion, all herbal plants from the Baduy tribe have the potential as raw materials for anti-aging cosmetics

Abstract

The accumulation of metabolic residual chemical compounds, such as urea, and creatinine, is a major consequence of decreased glomerular filtration function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Increased concentrations of these compounds trigger internal homeostasis disorders and accelerate the progression of metabolic complications. Hemodialysis is a kidney replacement therapy that aims to eliminate toxic compounds and maintain the body's biochemical balance. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of hemodialysis in reducing urea, creatinine, and uric acid levels in CKD patients. The pre-post test research involved 30 stage V CKD patients who underwent routine hemodialysis at the Regional General Hospital (RSUD) Padang Panjang, West Sumatra. Venous blood samples were taken 15 minutes before and after a single hemodialysis session. Urea levels were analyzed using the urease-GLDH method, creatinine using the kinetic Jaffé method, and uric acid using the uricase-POD method. The data were analyzed using a paired t-test with a significance level of p<0.05.The results were obtained The average urea level decreased from 182.6 ± 28.7 mg/dL it was concluded that Hemodialysis significantly reduced the level of chemical compounds left over from the body's metabolism in patients to 76.3 ± 16.9 mg/dL (p<0.001), creatinine from 11.8 ± 2.9 mg/dL to 4.9 ± 1.3 mg/dL (p<0.001), and uric acid from 8.5 ± 1.8 mg/dL to 5.2 ± 1.1 mg/dL (p<0.001). It can be concluded that hemodialysis significantly reduces the level of chemical compounds left over from the body's metabolism in advanced CKD patients. Hemodialysis maintains biochemical homeostasis and reduces the risk of systemic complications.

Abstract

Acute diarrhea is diarrhea more than fourteen days and is generally caused by microbial infection. The principles management of acute diarrhea are rehydration, symptomatic therapy, and selective and rational antibiotic therapy. Previous study shown antibiotic prescriptions for diarrhea therapy are still quite high, a study at the Bangsal Puskesmas in Mojokerto Regency showed that 27% was inappropriate for the indication. The aim this study was to evaluate the rationality of using antibiotics for diarrhea in toddlers. This study is a descriptive study with retrospective data collection from the medical records of toddler diarrhea patients at the Puskesmas Beji in Depok City in 2021 who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the study showed the use of antibiotics such as metronidazole, amoxicillin, and cotrimoxazole was the right choice because it was in accordance with the choice of antibiotic therapy for acute diarrhea with specific indications, however the results of the evaluation of antibiotic prescriptions were not appropriate indications there was still a high number 62,5% of antibiotic prescriptions for patients with non-specific acute diarrhea. Antibiotic prescriptions must be based on the bacteria causing the infection so it is very necessary to be supported by data from laboratory tests.

Abstract

Alopecia is a dermatological disorder characterised by progressive hair loss, often impairing patients’ quality of life. Conventional therapies, such as minoxidil and finasteride, have demonstrated efficacy; however, their adverse effects have prompted the search for natural-based alternatives. Sidr leaves (Ziziphus spina-christi L.) and roasted candlenut seeds (Aleurites moluccanus L.) have been traditionally employed in ethnopharmacology for hair treatment, yet scientific data on their phytochemical composition remain limited. This study aimed to identify and quantify the major bioactive constituents in purified aqueous extracts of sidr leaves and roasted candlenut seeds using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD), and to assess their potential implications in alopecia therapy. Powdered sidr leaves and roasted candlenut seeds were extracted, fractionated, and analysed on a C18 column using a gradient acetonitrile–water mobile phase. The results revealed that sidr leaves are rich in rutin hydrate (245.64 ± 0.73 mg/L), accompanied by gallic acid (47.63 ± 0.43 mg/L) and quercetin (6.85 mg/L), whereas roasted candlenut seeds predominantly contain quercetin (27.00 mg/L). Rutin functions as an antioxidant and angiogenesis stimulator, gallic acid exhibits anti-inflammatory activity, and quercetin acts as a 5α-reductase inhibitor relevant to androgenetic alopecia. In conclusion, the phytochemical profiles of sidr leaves and roasted candlenut seeds support their potential use as phytotherapeutic candidates for alopecia management.
