Abstract

Background: Drug-induced nephrotoxicity, particularly caused by rifampicin—a first-line antituberculosis drug is a significant contributor to acute kidney dysfunction. The search for effective and safe nephroprotective agents to mitigate this side effect is crucial, and garlic (Allium sativum L.), with its potent antioxidant content, has emerged as a promising candidate. Objective: To evaluate the nephroprotective effect of ethanol extract of garlic (EEG) in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced with rifampicin, based on serum creatinine levels, relative kidney weight, and histopathological findings. Methods: An in vivo experimental study was conducted on 25 rats randomly divided into five groups: (GI) normal control (distilled water); (GII) negative control (rifampicin 100 mg/kg BW, intraperitoneal); and three treatment groups (GIII, GIV, GV) receiving rifampicin 100 mg/kg BW and EEG at doses of 50, 120, and 300 mg/kg BW orally. Treatments were administered for 10 days. The measured parameters were serum creatinine levels, relative kidney weight, and histopathological damage scores (degeneration, necrosis, inflammatory cell infiltration). Results: Rifampicin induction (GII) significantly increased serum creatinine levels (1.28 ± 0.79 mg/dL) compared to the normal control (0.57 ± 0.05 mg/dL) (p<0.001). Administration of EEG at doses of 50, 120, and 300 mg/kg BW significantly reduced creatinine levels (0.53 ± 0.05; 0.51 ± 0.18; 0.51 ± 0.04 mg/dL, respectively). The relative kidney weight was highest in GII (1.6%), whereas treatment groups showed values close to normal. Histopathological analysis revealed the highest damage score in GII (score 2; 25–50%), while treatment groups, particularly the 300 mg/kg BW dose, showed the mildest damage (score 1; 5–25%). Conclusion: Ethanol extract of garlic exerts nephroprotective effects against rifampicin-induced kidney damage in rats, as evidenced by reduced serum creatinine levels, improvement in relative kidney weight, and amelioration of histopathological structures. These protective effects were dose-dependent, with the 300 mg/kg BW dose showing the most optimal outcome.

Abstract

Background: The kidney is a vital organ susceptible to damage from exposure to nephrotoxic compounds such as ethylene glycol. Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) is known to contain bioactive compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential that may protect the kidney from injury. However, its effectiveness as a nephroprotective agent needs to be scientifically validated. Objective: To evaluate the nephroprotective effect of ethanol extract of red ginger against ethylene glycol–induced kidney damage in male white rats (Rattus norvegicus), Wistar strain. Methods: An experimental study using a post-test only control group design was conducted to minimize bias by ensuring equivalent baseline conditions among groups. A total of 25 rats were divided into five groups: normal control (distilled water), negative control (0.75% ethylene glycol), and three treatment groups (ethylene glycol + red ginger extract at doses of 100, 200, and 300 mg/kgBW/day). Parameters measured included serum creatinine levels and kidney histopathology. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA (p < 0.05) followed by LSD post hoc test. Results: Red ginger extract significantly reduced serum creatinine levels (p < 0.05), with the greatest reduction observed at a dose of 300 mg/kgBW (0.528 ± 0.082 mg/dL). Histopathological improvement of the kidney was also evident, indicated by decreased necrosis, cellular degeneration, and inflammatory cell infiltration. The kidney damage score in the treatment groups (score 1) was lower than in the negative control group (score 2). Conclusion: Ethanol extract of red ginger exhibits a nephroprotective effect against ethylene glycol–induced kidney injury, with the optimal dose being 300 mg/kgBW/day. These findings support the potential of red ginger as an alternative therapy for kidney disorders, although further studies are needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and conduct clinical trials.

Abstract

Background: The use of plants as traditional medicine is supported by their bioactive compounds, particularly secondary metabolites such as flavonoids. Soursop leaves (Annona muricata L.) are known to be rich in these compounds; however, quantitative data, especially in specific fractions, remain limited. Determining the total flavonoid content is essential for the standardization of herbal raw materials. Objective: This study aimed to identify the classes of chemical compounds present in the ethanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction of soursop leaves and to determine the total flavonoid content of both samples. Methods: Soursop leaf simplicia was extracted using 70% ethanol by the maceration method. The resulting ethanol extract was then fractionated with ethyl acetate. Phytochemical screening was conducted to identify compound classes, while the determination of total flavonoid content was quantitatively analyzed using the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method with quercetin as the standard. Results: Phytochemical screening revealed that both the ethanol extract and the ethyl acetate fraction tested positive for alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and steroids/triterpenoids. The total flavonoid content obtained in the ethanol extract was 31.524 ± 0.1524 mg QE/g, while the ethyl acetate fraction showed a significantly higher content of 41.425 ± 0.1363 mg QE/g. Conclusion: Fractionation with ethyl acetate effectively concentrated flavonoid compounds from the crude soursop leaf extract, as indicated by the higher total flavonoid content in the ethyl acetate fraction. These findings support the potential of the ethyl acetate fraction of soursop leaves as a source of flavonoids for the development of standardized herbal medicines.

Abstract

Background: The continuous increase in population growth is a serious concern, including in Indonesia. Samosir Regency has a Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of 3.2, higher than the provincial average (2.7), necessitating population control efforts through the use of Long-Term Contraceptive Methods (LTCM), including Female Sterilization (Tubectomy). However, mothers' participation in choosing tubectomy in Pintusona Village remains low (34.8%), influenced by factors such as knowledge, husband's support, and cultural perceptions. Objective: This study aims to analyze the factors associated with mothers' participation in choosing tubectomy as a contraceptive method in Pintusona Village, Pangururan District, Samosir Regency. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 70 women of reproductive age who met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using univariate, bivariate (Chi-Square test), and multivariate (logistic regression) methods.Results: Bivariate analysis showed significant associations between husband's support (p=0.003), healthcare workers' support (p=0.048), income level (p=0.000), maternal knowledge (p=0.035), and maternal attitude (p=0.024) with the selection of tubectomy. Multivariate analysis identified husband's support as the most dominant factor (OR=4.898), followed by income level. Conclusion: Husband's support and family income level are key factors influencing mothers' participation in choosing tubectomy. Family planning programs should involve husbands in education and improve access to information about tubectomy to increase its acceptance.

Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that leads to cognitive decline and memory loss, eventually impairing daily activities. Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) has neuroprotective potential due to its curcumin content, which possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties. This study aims to examine the effect of different doses of turmeric rhizome extract on the histopathological features of brain cells in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced with Alzheimer’s disease. An experimental study with a post-test only control group design was conducted using simple random sampling. A total of 24 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: K1 (Alzheimer-induced without treatment), K2 (administered 20 mg/kgBW memantine), P1 (Alzheimer-induced with 36 mg/kgBW turmeric extract), and P2 (Alzheimer-induced with 54 mg/kgBW turmeric extract). The results showed the highest percentage of cell necrosis in K1 (19.7%), while the lowest was in K2 (1.67%), followed by P2 (2.5%) and P1 (5%). The Kruskal-Wallis test indicated a significant difference between groups p = 0.030 (p < 0.05). The Post Hoc Mann-Whitney test revealed a significant difference between K1 and both K2 and P2. These findings suggest that turmeric rhizome extract at a dose of 54 mg/kgBW has a neuroprotective effect by reducing neuronal necrosis in Alzheimer-induced rats. However, no significant difference was observed between the memantine-treated group and the turmeric extract-treated groups. There was no significant difference between the group given memantine treatment and the group given turmeric rhizome extract (Curcuma Longa L.).

Abstract

Mulberry leaves extract (Morus alba L.) has an IC50 of 8.35 µg/mL which is classified as a very strong antioxidant so it can be used as an active substance in cosmetic preparations such as Peel Off gel masks. An important component in Peel Off gel preparations is Gelling Agent. The type and concentration of each Gelling Agent can affect the characteristics of the preparation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different Gelling Agents on the physical characteristics of Peel Off gel mask preparations from mulberry leaf extract. Mulberry leaves were extracted using the maceration method with 70% ethanol solvent. Peel Off gel mask preparation is made in 9 formulas, namely formula 1-3 using Gelling Agent gelatin, formula 4-6 using Gelling Agent HPMC, formula 7-9 using Gelling Agent Carbopol 940. Physical characterization of the preparation includes organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesive power, viscosity and stability test Cycling Test. The results showed that all formulas had the same organoleptic before and after the stability test, formula 1-3 showed inhomogeneity after the stability test was carried out. The pH of formula 1-6 is in the good pH range (5.62-6.37) while F7-9 has a pH value of 7.04-7.31, the spreadability of the preparation decreased along with the increase in the concentration of Gelling Agent, namely from 17 g.cm/sec to 12 g.cm/sec for a load of 150 g, and the increase in the concentration of Gelling Agent affects the results of adhesive power and viscosity of the preparation. The viscosity values of F1-F3 are 3,666-110,000 mPa.s, F4-F7 with a range of 11,333-49,666 mPa.s, and F7-F9 44,333-162,333 mPa.s. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the difference in Gelling Agent in Peel Off gel mask preparations can affect the physical characteristics of the preparation.

Abstract

Background: Anting-anting herb (Acalypha indica L.) has been traditionally known for its antidiabetic properties. Its mechanism of action is presumed to involve the regeneration of damaged pancreatic β-cells; however, its effect on the expression of GLUT-2, a key glucose transporter in insulin secretion, remains to be further investigated. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of ethanol extract of Anting-anting herb on GLUT-2 protein expression in pancreatic β-cells of Streptozotocin–Nicotinamide–induced diabetic rats. Methods: This laboratory experimental study used 25 male rats (Rattus norvegicus), randomly assigned into five groups: normal control, negative control (diabetes + 1% CMC), positive control (diabetes + glibenclamide 0.45 mg/kg BW), treatment 1 (diabetes + extract 100 mg/kg BW), and treatment 2 (diabetes + extract 200 mg/kg BW). Diabetes was induced intraperitoneally with Streptozotocin (50 mg/kg BW) and Nicotinamide (110 mg/kg BW). The treatments were administered orally for 14 days. GLUT-2 expression in pancreatic tissue was quantitatively analyzed using immunohistochemistry, and protein density was measured with ImageJ software. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Results: Phytochemical analysis revealed that the extract contained flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and steroids. The group treated with 200 mg/kg BW extract showed a significant increase in GLUT-2 protein density (11,608,400 molecules/µm²) compared with the negative control group (5,074,533 molecules/µm²) (p < 0.05). This value was even higher than that of the positive control (glibenclamide), which showed a density of 10,626,864 molecules/µm². Conclusion: Administration of ethanol extract of Anting-anting herb at a dose of 200 mg/kg BW significantly increased GLUT-2 expression in pancreatic β-cells of diabetic rats. This enhancement is strongly presumed to contribute to the antidiabetic mechanism of Anting-anting herb.
