Abstract

Facial skin is prone to dryness due to UV radiation, which accelerates premature aging (photoaging) and triggers various skin problems such as atopic dermatitis. In Indonesia, the prevalence of dry skin reaches 50%–80%. Several commercial toner products still contain alcohol, which can further dry the skin when used for a long period of time. Therefore, natural ingredients with moisturizing effects are needed, one of which is Strobilanthes crispus (keji beling) leaves, containing flavonoids with antioxidant activity. This study aimed to determine the effect of varying concentrations of Tween 80 surfactant on the stability of toner formulations. The research method was experimental, formulating four formulas with surfactant concentrations of 0% (F0), 5% (FI), 7.5% (FII), and 10% (FIII), followed by stability testing using the cycling test and evaluating organoleptic properties, homogeneity, viscosity, pH, irritation, and hedonic acceptance. The organoleptic evaluation showed that FI, FII, and FIII produced clear yellowish-green liquid preparations with a characteristic odor of keji beling leaves, whereas F0 produced a dark green liquid with the same odor. All formulas were homogeneous with a pH of 5. The viscosity values were 1.72 cPs for FI, 1.82 cPs for FII, 2.37 cPs for FIII, and 1.35 cPs for F0. Irritation testing showed negative results for all formulas, indicating no signs of primary irritation. Hedonic testing revealed that FIII was the most preferred by panelists. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the formula containing 10% polysorbate (FIII) provided the best physical stability and panelist acceptance. Thus, variation in surfactant concentration affects the physical stability of Strobilanthes crispus leaf extract toner formulations.

Abstract

Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung parenchyma that can be caused by microorganisms including fungi, viruses, bacteria, and mycobacteria. In addition, chronic inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract can be characterized by wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing accompanied by flu. To evaluate the rational use of antibiotics, the Gyssens method was developed, which includes the appropriate selection of antibiotics based on effectiveness, toxicity, lower cost, narrower spectrum, duration of administration, dose, interval, route, and timing of administration. A patient's improvement or lack thereof can be assessed based on body temperature, white blood cell count, respiratory rate, and clinical symptoms. The study design is non-experimental (observational) with a cross-sectional study design. Data collection was conducted retrospectively using data from medical records of pediatric patients diagnosed with pneumonia at Dr. R. Soedjati Purwodadi General Hospital, with a total of 110 pediatric patients meeting the inclusion criteria. The results showed that 38 patients (34.55%) received antibiotics irrationally, with the most inaccuracies in the drug selection category (IV A, IV C, and IV D). A total of 72 users (65.45%) were rational and 38 users (34.55%) were irrational. The results of statistical analysis of the data using the Chi-Square test show that these results were obtained from the Exact Sig (2-sided) value, namely p = 0.003 (p < 0.05), so it can be interpreted that there is a rational relationship between the use of antibiotics and the success of therapy in pediatric patients.

Abstract

Background: Neonates are children aged 0 to 28 days. Efforts to establish a healthy lifestyle should begin during the neonatal period, as this is a stage of rapid growth and development. The mother's role is crucial as the primary caregiver, supporting the baby's physical, social, and emotional development. To address various challenges in infants, mothers are required to possess good knowledge and skills in caring for their babies. Objective: To determine the correlation between knowledge, education, and parity on the ability to care for newborns at the Sunggal Primary Clinic. Methods: This study was a quantitative analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected through questionnaires and direct interviews with 60 respondents. Data analysis employed univariate and bivariate analysis using the chi-square test, supplemented with the association measure Prevalence Ratio (PR) and 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Results: The bivariate analysis results showed that education (p = 0.000; PR = 3.58; 95% CI: 1.45-8.83), knowledge (p = 0.000), and parity (p = 0.000; PR = 2.79; 95% CI: 1.83-4.24) were significantly associated with the ability to care for newborns. The PR values indicate that mothers with higher education were 3.58 times more likely to be capable of caring for their babies, and mothers with higher parity were 2.79 times more likely. Conclusion: The variables of education, knowledge, and parity have a significant and meaningful relationship with maternal competence in caring for neonates. Education and parity demonstrate a strong influence on the ability to care for newborns.

Abstract

Breast cancer is a type of cancer with a high prevalence rate, especially in women, which contributes significantly to the global death rate from cancer. This disease is characterized by abnormal cell growth that attacks body tissues and is often difficult to treat due to the limitations of effective treatment and minimal side effects. Although treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy are available, significant side effects, including impaired patients' quality of life, remain a major challenge. Therefore, a new approach is needed to find drug candidates with high efficacy and lower side effects.  This study aims to compare the activity of chemical compounds that have the potential to be used as a breast cancer drug using the in silico method. The method involves computer simulations to evaluate molecular interactions with cancer receptors, such as ER-α and HER-2, as well as verify their pharmacokinetic feasibility through compliance with Lipinski's rules. This review literature draws on eight relevant recent studies, showing that some compounds have significant activity against cancer receptors and meet pharmacokinetic criteria for oral administration. The results of the analysis revealed that Longipinocarvone compounds had the best affinity for ER-α receptors (-8.20 kcal/mol), while Galagin showed the best affinity for HER-2 (-7.79 kcal/mol). Both also meet Lipinski's rule, indicating the potential to be developed into an oral drug. This in silico simulation provides efficient and cost-effective initial insight into the drug discovery process. The study concluded that both compounds have the potential to be promising breast cancer drug candidates, although further validation through in vitro and in vivo trials is needed to support these results.

Abstract

Indonesia is renowned for its rich natural resources, particularly medicinal plants with significant therapeutic potential. This study examined how the ethanolic extract of curry leaves (Murraya koenigii) can act as an antioxidant and antibacterial agent against Propionibacterium acnes, the primary cause of acne vulgaris. This study used phytochemical screening to identify secondary metabolites, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and glycosides, which are associated with biological activities such as killing bacteria and protecting cells from damage. The DPPH method for testing antioxidants showed that the extract had an IC50 value of 45.88 mg/L, which is not significantly different from quercetin as a reference, at 23.7 mg/L. This result is still significant for the strong antioxidant category. We assessed antibacterial efficiency using a disc diffusion technique, which showed a zone of inhibition corresponding to the extract concentration. The widest zone of inhibition, measuring 17.77 ± 0.15 mm, was recorded at a concentration of 250 mg/mL, classifying its activity as strong by existing standards. These findings underscore the extract's promise as a natural acne therapy, addressing bacterial growth and oxidative stress. Furthermore, these results support the development of safe and efficacious pharmaceutical or cosmetic products derived from natural components. Future investigations should examine synergistic formulations and enhance bioavailability to optimize therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract

Background: The side effects of anti-tuberculosis drugs (OAT) experienced by patients often interfere with their daily activities and affect their compliance in completing relatively long-term treatment. This is one of the reasons patients discontinue OAT therapy unilaterally, which can lead to treatment failure for tuberculosis (TB). Objective: To analyse the side effects of OAT in patients at Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe General Hospital in Gorontalo City using k-means clustering. Methods: Data including gender, age, OAT regimen, laboratory results, comorbidities, and types of OAT side effects were analyzed using the k-means method to determine patient clustering patterns. Research Results: The analysis yielded three clusters. Cluster 1 (25 patients) was predominantly male (80%), aged 45–54 years, received first-line OAT (88%), experienced elevated SGPT/SGOT levels (88%), had hypertension as the most common comorbidity (28%), and primarily experienced liver dysfunction as the main side effect (96%). Cluster 2 (348 patients) was predominantly male (58%), aged 35–44 years, receiving OAT line 1 (96.1%), no increase in SGPT and SGOT levels (0%), almost no increase in urea and creatinine levels (0.2%), the most common comorbidity being diabetes mellitus (22.1%). The main side effect being gastrointestinal disorders (58.9%). Cluster 3 (40 patients) was predominantly male (70%), aged 45–54 years, received OAT line 1 (97.5%), experienced an increase in urea and creatinine levels (97.5%), and the most common comorbidity was diabetes mellitus (47.5%). The main side effect was renal dysfunction (95%). Conclusion: The k-means algorithm is effective in generating clusters of patient characteristics. This clustering supports specific interventions such as comorbidity therapy management and monitoring of side effect risks, thereby optimising individualised tuberculosis (TB) treatment.

Abstract

Free radicals are an important health concern due to their role in the development of various diseases. Antioxidants, capable of neutralizing free radicals, are abundant in plants such as durian seeds (Durio zibethinus Murr.) and stevia leaves (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni). Herbal tea formulated from these materials has potential as an alternative functional drink because both contain phenolic compounds with antioxidant activity. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of durian seeds and stevia leaves as herbal tea with antioxidant properties. The research involved sample collection, identification, preparation of simplicia, characterization, formulation of herbal tea, quality testing, and determination of antioxidant activity. The simplicia characteristics of durian seeds and stevia leaves showed water content of 6.16% each, water-soluble extract of 35% and 15.8%, ethanol-soluble extract of 25.5% and 14.6%, total ash of 0.73% and 0.3%, and acid-insoluble ash of 0.5% and 0.26%. Quality testing of the herbal tea showed water content of 2.18%, total ash of 3.90%, water-soluble ash of 73.85%, and acid-insoluble ash of 3.80%. Antioxidant activity based on IC50 values was 68.45 ± 1.32 ppm for durian seed tea, 61.6 ± 1.05 ppm for stevia tea, 39.28 ± 0.98 ppm (1:1), 44.64 ± 1.11 ppm (1:2), and 42.32 ppm ± 1.07 (2:1). These results indicate that combining durian seeds and stevia leaves can enhance antioxidant activity compared to individual extracts. Overall, durian seeds and stevia leaves can be developed into herbal tea formulations with very strong antioxidant activity, as reflected in their ability to reduce DPPH radicals. Radikal
