Abstract

Infectious diseases are caused by the entry and proliferation of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. These diseases occur when microbial interactions lead to host tissue damage, resulting in various clinical symptoms and signs. This study aimed to formulate nanoparticles of ethanol extract from matoa leaves and compare the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values, as well as evaluate the antibacterial activity of both the extract and its nanoparticles against Cutibacterium acnes. This research was conducted experimentally. The independent variables were the concentrations of matoa leaf extract (6.25%, 12.5%, 25%, and 50%) and matoa leaf extract nanoparticles (0.625%, 1.25%, 2.5%, and 5%). The dependent variable was the antibacterial activity of both formulations against Escherichia coli and Cutibacterium acnes. Nanoparticle size characterization was performed using a Particle Size Analyzer (PSA), yielding an average size of 528.95 nm. The MIC values for C. acnes were 12.5% for the extract and 1.25% for the nanoparticles, while the MBC values were 50% and 5%, respectively. The highest antibacterial activity of matoa leaf ethanol extract against C. acnes was observed at a concentration of 50% (inhibition zone: 27.86 mm), whereas the nanoparticles exhibited a maximum inhibition zone of 26.53 mm at a 5% concentration. These findings indicate that matoa leaf extract nanoparticles exhibit strong antibacterial activity against C. acnes at lower concentrations compared to the crude extract, suggesting their potential as an effective antibacterial agent.

Abstract

Currently, people are beginning to shift towards traditional medicine using natural ingredients. One of the medicinal plants is Yellow Wood (Arcangelisia flava (L.) Merr). Yellow wood has been proven to have antioxidant, antimalarial, antidepressant, antidiabetic, and anticancer activities. The purpose of this study is to determine the antioxidant activity of yellow wood by analyzing its IC50 value and to evaluate the toxicity of yellow wood extract by determining its LC50 value. In this study, the antioxidant activity of the extract was tested using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method, while the toxicity of yellow wood extract was assessed using the brine shrimp lethality test (BSLT) method with several concentration variants. The analysis of antioxidant activity in yellow wood using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl method resulted in an IC50 value of 9.65 µg/ml, while vitamin C had an IC50 value of 3.96 µg/ml. Based on these results, both yellow wood and vitamin C fall into the category of very strong antioxidant activity. The probit analysis of the toxicity test of yellow wood extract using the brine shrimp lethality test method showed an LC50 value of 287.872 µg/ml, which is categorized as toxic.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a pressing global health issue, with high incidence and mortality rates. Treatment adherence is a key factor in the success of TB therapy. This study analyzes the factors influencing adherence to TB medication among pulmonary TB patients at UPT Lung Hospital of North Sumatra. The study employed a cross-sectional design with an analytical survey approach. The research sample consisted of 120 pulmonary TB patients undergoing treatment. Data were collected through questionnaires, medical records, and secondary sources and analyzed using the Chi-Square test and logistic regression. The results showed that education level (p-value = 0.03), employment status (p-value = 0.03), knowledge level (p-value = 0.00), and family support (p-value = 0.05) had a significant relationship with adherence to TB medication. Meanwhile, age (p-value = 0.91) and gender (p-value = 0.59) did not show a meaningful relationship. Multivariate analysis identified knowledge and family support as the dominant factors influencing adherence. These findings suggest that education-based interventions and enhanced family support can improve TB treatment adherence. This study recommends developing public health programs to empower patients and their families in TB control efforts.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily affecting the lungs and transmitted through airborne droplets. As a global health concern, TB requires long-term treatment adherence to ensure successful outcomes. This study aimed to identify determinants of medication compliance among TB patients at the UPT Garoga Community Health Center, North Tapanuli Regency, in 2023. Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 42 patients through interviews and medical records. Variables analyzed included age, gender, education, occupation, knowledge, the role of health workers, and medication supervisors (PMO). Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were conducted to assess relationships between these factors and medication compliance. Results indicated significant associations between compliance and age (p = 0.001), gender (p = 0.006), education (p = 0.001), knowledge (p = 0.002), the role of health workers (p = 0.001), and PMO support (p = 0.002). However, no significant relationship was found between occupation and compliance (p = 0.036). These findings highlight the importance of patient education, health worker involvement, and family support in improving TB treatment adherence. The study underscores the need for targeted interventions to address these determinants and enhance treatment outcomes in TB patients.

The study of the combination of herbal plant extracts has become the subject of intensive research to increase the effectiveness of antibacterials in the application of traditional medicine utilization. This study aims to determine the inhibitory power of the combination of medicinal plant ethanol extracts, namely the combination of bidara leaves (Ziziphus mauritiana L.): suruhan herb (Peperomia pellucida L. Kunth); and basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum Linn.):suruhan herb (Peperomia pellucida L. Kunth) against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. This study is an experimental laboratory study with phytochemical testing, microbiological testing using the disc diffusion method, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the inhibitory power of the combination of medicinal plant ethanol extracts, namely the combination of bidara leaves:suruhan herb and basil leaves:suruhan herb, against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. The results of the phytochemical test showed that the extracts of bidara leaves, basil leaves, and suruhan herbs contain secondary metabolite compounds, namely alkaloids, steroids, saponins, flavonoids, and phenolics. The combination of suruhan herb:bidara leaves (HS:DB) and suruhan herb: basil leaves (HS:DK) extracts has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, as indicated by the formation of an inhibition zone in each comparison. The mix of HS:DB and HS:DK extracts is the most effective at killing Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, with an inhibition zone diameter of 16.07 mm for HS:DB and 15.5 mm for HS:DK. The average area of the inhibition zone is half the area of the inhibition zone in the positive control (ciprofloxacin), with an average of 32.70 mm. The results of the one-way ANOVA test continued with the Duncan test, which stated that each single treatment and combination of extracts were able to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, which showed a P value of 0.05.

Abstract

The sun emits ultraviolet radiation and can produce free radicals. If these free radicals continue to come into contact with the skin excessively, they can damage cells and eventually cause cancer. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a substance that protects the skin from ultraviolet rays. The capacity of a product to shield the skin is indicated by its SPF rating. Soap is a type of formulation that individuals frequently utilize. Red betel leaf extract can protect the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals and is expected to increase the soap's ability to protect the skin from exposure to sunlight and maintain skin health. The methods include making transparent soap, testing physical quality, and determining the sun protection coefficient at various red betel leaf ethanol extract concentrations. The result is a transparent black-green soap with a pH of 9, a foam height of 57-65 mm, and a water content of <15%. At a concentration of ethanol extract of 0%, the SPF value is 3, and the SPF values are 7.5 (10%), 12.28 (30 and 50%), 18.2 (70%), and 25 (90%). From this information, it can be inferred that clear soap created with red betel leaf extract possesses excellent physical attributes and effectively protects against sun exposure.

Abstract

Betel leaf (Piper betle L) is a plant widely used as a traditional medicine capable of treating various diseases without causing side effects due to bioactive compounds, one of which is phenolic. This research aims to identify the chemical compounds present in the ethanol extract and determine the total phenolic content of the ethanol extract of betel leaf (Piper betle L). The research method employed is an experimental approach, which includes plant material processing, ethanol extract preparation through maceration and Soxhlet extraction, characterization analysis, phytochemical screening, and determination of the total phenolic content of the ethanol extract of betel leaf using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The betel leaf extract was prepared using maceration and Soxhlet extraction. The obtained extract was concentrated using a rotary evaporator. Subsequently, the total phenolic content was determined using Visible Spectrophotometry. The phytochemical screening of the ethanol extract of betel leaf revealed the presence of chemical compound groups such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, steroids or triterpenoids, and glycosides. Total phenolic content was determined by determining the wavelength of gallic acid and operating time, measuring the gallic acid calibration curve, and calculating the total phenolic content using visible spectrophotometry. The results of the total phenolic content determination for the maceration extract were 19.61 ± 0.19716 mg GAE/g, and for the Soxhlet extraction, it was 29.79 ± 1.91040 mg GAE/g.
