Abstract

Leukocytes are white blood cells produced by hematopoietic tissue that serves to help the body fight various infectious diseases as part of the immune system. Sargassum duplicatum contains steroid, alkaloid, phenol, flavonoid, saponin, and tannin compounds that can be immunomodulatory. The purpose of this research is to know the effect of methane extract of brown algae Sargassum duplicatum on the differentiation of leukocyte mice (Mus musculus) infected with Plasmodium berghei. Mice weighing 20-30 grams in Plasmodium berghei infection as much as 0.1 ml per head and left to the percentage of parasitemia reaches 1-5%. Then the mice (Mus musculus) were given brown algae methanol extract (Sargassum duplicatum) at doses 10, 100, and 200 mg / g BW for 4 consecutive days. From day 0 to 6 also made a blood smear to calculate the number of leukocytes. Data analysis will be done using ANOVA. The results showed that the administration of brown algae extracts of Sargassum duplicatum influenced in increasing the number of neutrophils, monocytes, and basophils and decreased the number of eosinophils and lymphocytes of mice infected with Plasmodium berghei to near normal range. Dose 200 mg/kg BB methanol extract of brown alga Sargassum duplicatum is a dose that can affect the number of neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes of mice infected with Plasmodium berghei most closely to normal range.

Abstract

Angular cheilitis is a common variant of candidal infection affecting the elderly population. Angular cheilitis is an inflammatory lesion characterized by erythema, ulceration, and crusting at the corners of the mouth that begins at the junctional mucocutaneous and extends to the skin surface. Angular cheilitis occurs not only due to candidiasis but also due to reduced occlusal vertical dimensions or due to nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin B or iron deficiency. The causes of Angular cheilitis are multifactorial of local and systemic etiology. To know the management of Angular cheilitis in elderly patient. Angular cheilitis in elderly patient with decrease of vertical dimension can be treated by local therapy. But eldery patient with multiple underlying systemic and local factors need interdisciplinary management because the symptoms will only reoccur if local factors or systemic factors are not managed.

Abstract

The degenerative disease of memory that most attacks the frontal lobe is Alzheimer's. Therapy for Alzheimer's is mostly done by targeting an increase in the amount of acetylcholinesterase in the synapse cleft by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative study of vitexifolin E compounds from the vitexium plant family with donepezil to obtain more precise and targeted drug candidates in Alzheimer's therapy. The results showed that donepezil compounds have a more active probability (0.53) of being carcinogenic compared to vitexifolin E with the web-based application Protox II. Tests with in silico studies found that the hydrogen bonding results of vitexifolin E had values close to those of donepezil drugs, as well as RMSD results with receptors between donepezil and vitexifolin E (1,781; 1,281) and free energy obtained (-6.9; -7.8). Based on these results, it can be concluded that vitexifolin E compounds can have good enough potential to be developed in implementing the treatment of Alzheimer's disease therapy.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, causing significant morbidity and mortality globally. Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest prevalence of diabetes. This study aimed to evaluate the antidiabetic activity of ethanol extract from Bandotan leaves (Ageratum conyzoides L.) in alloxan-induced diabetic white rats. This experimental research used 30 white rats divided into six groups: normal control (distilled water), negative control (distilled water+alloxan), positive control (glibenclamide 0.65 mg/kg BW+alloxan), and three groups receiving ethanol extract of Bandotan leaves (EEBL) at doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg BW with alloxan induction. Extraction of Bandotan leaves was carried out using the maceration method using 96% ethanol, resulting in a yield of 37,35%. Phytochemical screening showed the extract contained alkaloids, steroids, quinones and saponins. Induction of diabetes was carried out by intraperitoneal injection of alloxan 30mg/kgBB. Blood sugar levels were measured on days 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 after induction. The results showed that administration of EEDB significantly (p<0,005) reduced blood sugar levels with the best effect at a dose of 400mg/kgBB. The ethanol extract of bandotan leaves was proven to have effective antidiabetic activity in alloxan- induced mice, with the potential for development as an affordable and easily accessible alternative diabetes therapy.

Abstract

Damage to pancreatic β-cells can lead to hyperglycemia, a hallmark of diabetes mellitus. Ageratum conyzoides L. (bandotan), a plant from the Asteraceae family, is traditionally used in herbal medicine due to its rich content of secondary metabolites. This study aimed to evaluate the histopathological profile of pancreatic tissue in alloxan-induced diabetic rats following treatment with ethanol extract of bandotan leaves. The research employed a true experimental design with a posttest-only control group. A total of 24 white rats were randomly divided into six groups: normal, negative control (aquadest + alloxan), positive control (glibenclamide 0.65 mg/kg BW), and three treatment groups receiving bandotan extract at doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg BW, respectively. Bandotan leaves (4–5 kg) were extracted using ethanol, and histopathological observations were performed under a light microscope at 100x and 400x magnification. Pancreatic damage was scored and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The mean pancreatic damage scores were as follows: negative control group = 1.25; positive control group = 1.00; 100 mg/kg BW group = 1.00; 200 mg/kg BW group = 0.25; 400 mg/kg BW group = 0.00; and normal group = 0.00. The results indicate that the 400 mg/kg BW dose of Ageratum conyzoides L. extract was the most effective in preventing pancreatic damage, with histological features comparable to those of the normal group.
