Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia possesses high biodiversity, including the Jatropha multifida L. plant, which contains secondary metabolites with potential antimicrobial properties. Traditionally, the leaves of Jatropha multifida have been used as herbal medicine, particularly for inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. Objective: This study aims to determine the total flavonoid content in the ethanol extract of Jatropha multifida leaves and to compare the effectiveness of two extraction methods, maceration and Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE), in inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans. Methods: The research stages included the characterization of the powdered simplicia, extraction of Jatropha multifida leaves using 96% ethanol by maceration and MAE methods, and phytochemical screening. The total flavonoid content was determined using UV-Vis spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 431 nm. Antifungal activity against Candida albicans was tested for each extract at specific concentrations. Results: The ethanol extract obtained through maceration showed a total flavonoid content of 34.7089 ± 0.1206 mg QE/g, while the MAE method yielded 32.1923 ± 0.1113 mg QE/g. The highest antifungal activity was observed in the MAE extract at a 75% concentration, producing an inhibition zone of 24.7 mm. The maceration extract at the same concentration produced an inhibition zone of 23.7 mm. As a positive control, 2% ketoconazole resulted in an inhibition zone of 31.4 mm. Conclusion: Although the maceration method produced a higher total flavonoid content, the extract obtained through the MAE method demonstrated more potent antifungal activity against Candida albicans at the same concentration.

Abstract

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a major global health issue that predominantly affects adolescent girls and pregnant women, particularly in developing countries. Dates (Phoenix dactylifera), a natural iron-rich food with essential nutrients, have been proposed as a potential intervention to increase hemoglobin levels. This scoping review aims to explore and evaluate current scientific evidence on the effect of various date varieties in improving hemoglobin levels in women with iron deficiency anemia. Using the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across ten databases, covering studies from January 2014 to October 2024. Twelve studies meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed descriptively. The majority reported a significant increase in hemoglobin levels among participants consuming dates, with improvements ranging from 1.18 to 1.67 g/dL. Varieties such as Ajwa, Sukari, and black dates showed notable effectiveness. Some studies also recorded increases in ferritin levels, indicating an improvement in iron reserves. The findings support the use of dates as a beneficial dietary supplement for improving hemoglobin and iron status in women, especially adolescent girls and pregnant women. Further research is necessary to determine optimal dosage and compare the efficacy across different date varieties.

Abstract

The Brassicaceae family is recognized for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Due to its widespread distribution, it serves as a prominent source of bioactive phytochemicals, attracting considerable research interest. Brassicaceae plants contain several secondary metabolites, including glucosinolates, which are precursors to bioactive compounds like isothiocyanates (e.g., sulforaphane) that have demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects. This study aims to investigate keywords, countries, number of publications, institutions, authors, and journals related to Brassicaceae plants as anti-inflammatory agents during the period 2003–2024 using a comprehensive bibliometric analysis method. Information was collected using the Scopus database, followed by data analysis using the Biblioshiny R Package and VOSviewer. A total of 760 articles meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The results indicate that 2023 saw the largest increase in research publications, with China emerging as the leading contributor, while the USA had the highest citation count. The International Journal of Molecular Sciences was identified as the most popular publishing journal. Kyung Hee University was designated as the most productive institution, with Li Y as the author with the highest contribution. Bibliometric data also highlighted several therapeutic target molecules, including cytokines, nitric oxide, cyclooxygenase-2, and Nrf2, which play crucial roles in the action mechanisms of signature metabolites from Brassicaceae plants, including sulforaphane, isothiocyanates, glucosinolates, and flavonoids, for therapeutic purposes as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and chemopreventive agents. These findings highlight the significant potential of Brassicaceae medicinal plants for various therapeutic mechanisms and provide recommendations for future research in the pharmacy field.

Abstract

Background: Dandruff is a condition characterized by excessive shedding of dead skin cells on the scalp, often accompanied by itching and inflammation. The causes of dandruff can be related to excessive secretion of sweat glands or the presence of microorganisms on the scalp that produce specific metabolites that trigger dandruff formation. The organism believed to be the leading cause of dandruff is Malassezia furfur. Treatment for dandruff can be done through various methods, one of which is using natural extracts, such as ethanol cabbage extract, known for its antifungal properties. In this study, the ethanol cabbage extract will be synthesized into nanoparticle form to enhance its effectiveness. Objective: The objective of this study is to create nanoparticles from ethanol cabbage extract and to compare the antifungal activity of the cabbage extract and the nanoparticle extract of cabbage against Malassezia furfur, focusing on the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC). Method: This study was conducted experimentally, and two variables were tested. The independent variables included the concentration of cabbage extract (6.25%, 12.5%, 25%, and 50%) and nanoparticle cabbage extract (0.625%, 1.25%, 2.5%, and 5%). The dependent variables were the antifungal activity measured by MIC and MFC tests against Malassezia furfur. Nanoparticles were synthesized using the top-down method with high-speed homogenization (HSH) technique. The particle size characterization was performed using a Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). Results: Particle size characterization showed that the particle size of cabbage extract was 2203.45 nm, while the nanoparticle size after synthesis was 408.33 nm. Based on the MIC and MFC tests, it was found that the nanoparticle ethanol cabbage extract at a concentration of 1.25% was more effective than the ethanol cabbage extract at 12.5%. Additionally, the MFC value of the nanoparticle ethanol cabbage extract at a concentration of 5% was more effective than that of the ethanol cabbage extract at 50%. Both preparations demonstrated good sensitivity against Malassezia furfur. Conclusion: Nanoparticle ethanol cabbage extract showed better antifungal activity than the ethanol cabbage extract at higher concentrations. These results indicate that using nanoparticles can reduce the required dosage to achieve optimal effectiveness, thus improving the efficiency of the drug in dandruff treatment.

Abstract

Background: Low Birth Weight (LBW) infants are those born with a weight of less than 2,500 grams. The incidence of LBW can be influenced by several risk factors, including antenatal care (ANC) visit history, parity, maternal education level, and employment. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between ANC visit history, parity, and education level with the incidence of LBW at Klinik Pratama Mariana in 2024. Methods: This was a quantitative study with a retrospective design. Data were collected using total sampling through observation sheets and questionnaires completed by respondents. The study population consisted of 55 mothers who gave birth at Klinik Pratama Mariana Tanjung Gusta, with the sample including those who delivered LBW infants. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the chi-square statistical test. Results: The results showed a significant relationship between irregular ANC visits and the incidence of LBW (p-value = 0.000). High parity (≥3) also showed a significant association with LBW incidence, observed in 92% of respondents (p-value = 0.000). Furthermore, low educational level (<senior high school) was significantly associated with LBW, found in 85% of respondents (p-value = 0.000). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between ANC visit history, parity, and maternal education level with the incidence of LBW. Health workers are expected to enhance monitoring and provide counseling for pregnant women with risk factors to help prevent LBW.

Abstract

According to WHO 2022 data, approximately 45 million toddlers worldwide experience wasting, with malnutrition being a major contributor to child mortality. One contributing factor is suboptimal complementary feeding practices. Food Refusal Behavior (FRB), characterized by a child's mouth-closing and eating refusal, is a common phenomenon during complementary feeding that may affect nutritional status. This quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted at Hj Hanum Clinic with 43 respondents selected through total sampling to analyze the relationship between maternal characteristics/behaviors and the incidence of FRB and nutritional status in infants aged 12-24 months. Data were collected through questionnaires and observations, then analyzed using chi-square tests. Results revealed significant associations between FRB incidence and parity (p<0.001), maternal behavior (p<0.001), and maternal occupation (p=0.002). Similarly, child nutritional status showed significant relationships with these three factors. However, maternal education demonstrated no significant association with either FRB incidence (p=0.539) or child nutritional status (p=0.149). These findings underscore the importance of considering parity and maternal behavior in FRB prevention and nutritional status improvement, while formal maternal education appears non-determinative in this context.
