Abstract

Background: Indonesia is rich in medicinal plants, including Cotylelobium melanoxylon Pierre (raru bark), traditionally used to treat diarrhea, malaria, and diabetes. However, scientific validation of its alkaloid compounds and antibacterial potential is still limited. Objective: This study aimed to (1) fractionate alkaloids from raru bark extract using chloroform liquid-liquid extraction, (2) identify alkaloid functional groups via FT-IR spectroscopy, (3) quantify alkaloid levels in ethanol and methanol extracts using UV spectrophotometry, and (4) evaluate their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: The research stages included plant material processing, ethanol/methanol extraction, phytochemical screening, alkaloid fractionation with chloroform, FT-IR analysis, UV spectrophotometry for alkaloid quantification, and antibacterial testing via disc diffusion at 40%, 50%, and 60% concentrations. Results: Alkaloid fractions were successfully isolated, containing functional groups N-H, C-N, C=O, aromatic C=C, and sharp C=O. The methanol extract yielded higher alkaloid levels (21.03 ± 0.10%) than ethanol (18.95 ± 0.09%). The 50% alkaloid fraction showed the strongest antibacterial activity, with inhibition zones of 21.1 mm (E. coli) and 23.1 mm (S. aureus). Conclusion: Raru bark alkaloids exhibit significant antibacterial effects, with methanol extract demonstrating superior alkaloid content and efficacy.

Abstract

Background: Burns represent a condition of damaged or lost skin tissue due to high-temperature exposure. Oral therapy has limitations in penetrating hardened skin tissue, necessitating topical preparations such as gels that offer advantages in comfort, absorption capability, and ease of application. The stem of physic nut (Jatropha multifida L.) contains bioactive compounds including alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins that may accelerate burn wound healing, particularly in its ethyl acetate fraction. Objective: This study aimed to formulate the ethyl acetate fraction of physic nut stem into a gel preparation and evaluate the effect of concentration variations on burn wound healing efficacy. Methods: Physic nut stems were extracted with 96% ethanol, then fractionated using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol solvents. The ethyl acetate fraction was formulated into a hydrophilic gel at concentrations of 0.140%, 0.281%, and 0.421%. The gel preparations were evaluated through organoleptic tests, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, stability, irritation, and burn healing efficacy tests in rabbits. Results: Phytochemical screening revealed that the ethyl acetate fraction contained alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. All gel formulations met physical preparation requirements with skin-compatible pH (5.95-6.37). Formula F1 (0.140%) demonstrated optimal burn healing efficacy, equivalent to positive control (p > 0.05), and was topically safe (non-irritating). Conclusion: The ethyl acetate fraction of physic nut stem was successfully formulated into a stable and effective gel preparation for burn wound healing, with 0.140% as the optimal concentration. Further studies are required to examine toxicity and the mechanism of action of active compounds.

Abstract

Background: The low rate of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia (52.5% in 2021), particularly in North Sumatra (57.83%), remains a pressing public health issue, especially among working mothers. Educational level, knowledge, and husband support are strongly suspected to influence the success of exclusive breastfeeding, yet these factors have been underexplored in the context of primary clinics in urban areas such as Sunggal. Objective: To analyze the relationship between educational level, knowledge, and husband support with exclusive breastfeeding practices among working mothers at the Sunggal Primary Clinic.Methods: This quantitative, cross-sectional study involved 30 working mothers selected through total sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires and interviews, then analyzed using Chi-Square tests and logistic regression to measure the strength of associations (OR). Results: Statistical analysis showed significant relationships between all three independent variables and exclusive breastfeeding practices (p<0.05). Husband support emerged as the most dominant factor with an odds ratio (OR) of 8.2 (95% CI: 2.1–32.4), followed by maternal knowledge (OR=5.6; 95% CI: 1.8–17.3) and educational level (OR=4.3; 95% CI: 1.5–12.4). Specifically, mothers who received strong support from their husbands were 8.2 times more likely to successfully provide exclusive breastfeeding compared to those who did not. Likewise, mothers with good knowledge were 5.6 times more likely to succeed, and highly educated mothers were 4.3 times more successful than those with limited knowledge and education. Multivariate analysis indicated interaction among these three factors, with husband support amplifying the positive effects of education and knowledge. Among respondents who possessed all three positive factors (higher education, good knowledge, and strong husband support), 86.7% successfully provided exclusive breastfeeding, while only 13.3% succeeded in the group lacking these factors. Conclusion: This study strengthens the evidence that family-based interventions focusing on enhancing the husband’s role, along with comprehensive education, can be an effective strategy to increase exclusive breastfeeding rates among working mothers. These findings highlight the need for clinic policies that integrate lactation counseling for couples.

Abstract

Background: Damage to medical record documents represents a serious challenge in hospital archive management, characterized by torn, faded, discolored, or illegible documents due to intrinsic (material quality) and extrinsic (environmental) factors. A preliminary survey at Bandung Medan General Hospital identified 47 damaged documents in September 2024, indicating the need for systematic intervention. Objective: To analyze the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic factors and damage to medical record files at Bandung Medan General Hospital. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional analytical design with a sample of 92 documents (purposive sampling). Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate (Chi-Square test) methods. Results: The findings revealed that 51.1% of documents were damaged, with intrinsic factors (paper quality, ink, and adhesives) identified in 47 documents (51.1%) and extrinsic factors (physical, biological, and chemical environment) in 48 documents (52.2%). Statistical analysis demonstrated a highly significant association between intrinsic factors and document damage (p=0.000; OR=15.2), indicating documents with material quality issues had a 15 times higher risk of damage. Similarly, extrinsic factors showed a highly significant relationship (p=0.000; OR=12.8), with suboptimal storage conditions being the primary contributor. Environmental factors, particularly high humidity (78%) and dust accumulation (65%), were the most dominant causes of physical document damage. Conclusion: Medical record damage is influenced by both factors, with recommendations for storage system improvements, environmental control, and implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for risk mitigation. The study findings should serve as valuable input for enhancing medical record document storage to ensure better safety and preservation.

Abstract

Background: Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) contains medium-chain saturated fatty acids (MCFA), particularly lauric acid, which is known for its antibacterial properties. VCO has the potential to be formulated into a practical and hygienic paper soap dosage form. In paper soap formulation, glycerin acts as a plasticizer that affects the physical properties of the preparation, but its effect on antibacterial activity has not been widely explored. Objective: This study aimed to formulate VCO paper soap with variations in glycerin concentration and to analyze its antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: This experimental research formulated four paper soap formulas with variations in glycerin concentration: 0% (F1), 10% (F2), 15% (F3), and 20% (F4). The preparations were evaluated through organoleptic tests, pH tests, foam height tests, and free alkali tests. Antibacterial activity was tested against Staphylococcus aureus using the disk diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer) with a positive control (commercial paper soap) and a negative control (aquadest). Results: The evaluation results showed that all formulas met the physico-chemical quality standards for soap. Formula 3 (15% glycerin) was the best preparation based on overall evaluation. The antibacterial test showed that all four VCO paper soap formulas (F1-F4) had moderate antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with inhibition zone diameters that were not statistically significantly different. The negative control showed no activity, while the positive control showed strong antibacterial activity. Conclusion: It was concluded that VCO paper soap was successfully formulated and exhibited moderate antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Variations in glycerin concentration (0-20%) did not significantly affect the antibacterial activity, which is presumed to be more influenced by the lauric acid content in VCO.
