Abstract

For many years, there have been theories on the possibility of preventing or delaying type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by altering some of its risk factors. Drugs that combat obesity have recently been researched concerning the prevention of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Inhibition of the digestive enzyme pancreatic lipase is a potential therapeutic strategy in treating and managing chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Plants containing bioactive compounds are identified as potential sources of pancreatic lipase enzyme inhibitors. The use of natural compounds in inhibiting pancreatic lipase enzyme activity is considered to have more potential due to low toxicity and side effects. This study aims to determine the potential and activity effect of ethanol extract of leilem leaves on inhibiting pancreatic lipase enzyme. This study is a laboratory experimental study, the method of measuring lipase inhibition potential was performed using porcine lipase and PNPB with several modifications and using Orlistat as a positive control. Readings were taken using an ELISA reader at a wavelength of 405 nm. The data were then processed to obtain the IC50 value and relative potency. The results of in vitro studies have shown the potential of leilem leaf extract to inhibit pancreatic lipase enzyme activity. Qualitatively, the results showed that leilem leaf extract contains secondary metabolite compounds such as Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Tannins, Saponins, Steroids, and Terpenoids. Quantitatively, the results showed that the ethanol extract of leilem leaves had an absorbance value at the lowest concentration of 1.346 ± 0.53 and 0.709 ± 0.29 for the highest concentration. The IC50 result obtained was 137.89 μg/mL while the IC50 value of the positive control Orlistat was 77.022 μg/mL. Ethanol extract of leilem leaves (Clerodendrum minahassae Teijsm. & Binn) has a potential value of 0.558.

Abstract

The Intra-Uterine Device (IUD) stands out as one of the safest long-term contraceptives, boasting a remarkable user effectiveness rate of 99.4%. Despite this, recent data from the 2021 Indonesian health profile in South Kalimantan Province reveals suboptimal coverage of IUD usage. Specifically, the coverage stands at 1.95% with 12,011 users in the region, 1.02% (477 users) in Kotabaru District, and 1.79% (82 users) in the Serongga Health Center. These figures fall short of the targeted coverage of 12.9%. This study aims to identify factors influencing IUD usage among women of childbearing age. Employing an analytical observational method with a Case-Control design, the research was conducted within the Serongga Health Center's jurisdiction. The investigation sought to establish correlations between education, knowledge, occupation, age, parity, and husband support with the utilization of IUDs among women of childbearing age. Utilizing a cluster proportional random sampling technique, the study comprised a sample population of 110 individuals. Statistical analysis involved the application of the Chi-Square test and Logistic Regression test for multivariate analysis. The findings of the study indicate that education (p=0.554), knowledge (p=0.308), age (p=0.566), and parity (p=0.835) demonstrate no significant association with IUD usage among women of childbearing age. Conversely, occupational factors (p=0.022, Exp (B)=2.667) and husband support (p=0.035, Exp (B)=2.813) exhibit a notable association. Notably, occupation emerges as the dominant factor influencing IUD usage.

Abstract

Hand hygiene is an important factor that needs to be observed in controlling the spread of diseases transmitted through hand-to-hand contact. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles from tembelekan (Lantana camara) and paku laut (Acrostichum aureum) using the green synthesis method has good antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria. Therefore, a preparation formulation was made, namely hand sanitizer, which is still rarely used. Formulations that have successfully entered the evaluation stage include organoleptic tests, homogeneity tests, spreadability tests, adhesion tests, viscosity tests, pH tests, accelerated stability tests, and irritation tests. Antibacterial activity was evaluated against bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The hand sanitizer is formulated to contain 5% tembelekan AgNPs (F1); paku laut AgNPs 5% (F2); and a combination of 2.5% paku laut AgNPs and 2.5% tembelekan AgNPs. The resulting hand sanitizer has good organoleptic characteristics, except for the color of the preparation, which changed during the accelerated stability test. Test results for pH, adhesion, spreadability, viscosity, and homogeneity of hand sanitizer meet the requirements of a good test. Irritation tests on ten volunteers showed no irritation reaction. Antibacterial tests show that hand sanitizer has bacterial antibacterial activity with an average ± standard deviation of the inhibition zone Staphylococcus aureus is 6.605±0.459(F1); 6.665±0.615(F2); 6.380±0.282(F3) dan Escherichia coli namely 6.575 ± 0.219 (F1); 6.860 ± 0.155 (F2); 6.810 ± 0.056 (F3). Making hand sanitizer AgNPs-based ingredients from plants can be used as hand sanitizer, but stabilizers are required to prevent color changes during storage.

Abstract

The Gayo tribe in Lesten Village has historically relied on plants to fulfill their nutritional needs. Expanding knowledge about diverse plant-based food sources offers a promising strategy for addressing future food insecurity. A dependence on conventional plant species has often resulted in inadequate food supplies, highlighting the need for alternative approaches that incorporate a broader range of plant resources to mitigate food scarcity. Located within the Leuser mountain buffer landscape, Lesten Village in Gayo Lues Regency, Aceh Province, represents a key agricultural area with significant potential to benefit the local community. This study aimed to document and analyze the plant species used as food sources by the Lesten Village community. Data collection combined qualitative and quantitative methods, including exploration, direct observation, and semi-structured interviews. The results revealed that female respondents had a higher level of knowledge about plant use as food sources. Notably, 52.9% and 55.7% of these respondents were aged 50 years or older. The community in Lesten utilized a total of 51 plant species from 26 families as food ingredients. Vegetables constituted the largest category (34%), followed by spices (30%), fruits (21%), and carbohydrates (15%). Fruits were the most frequently used plant part for food (61%). The species with the highest use value was Cacica papaya (1.07). Additionally, the traditional food with the highest fidelity level was serbet (62.82%). These findings emphasize the importance of integrating a diverse range of plant resources into food systems to enhance food security and stimulate economic development in the region.
