Abstract

Human activities every day have a lot of physical contact with the environment, this can cause various kinds of diseases. These diseases can come from various types of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. Examples of bacteria that can cause disease are Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria that most commonly cause diarrhoea. To avoid these bacteria, humans need to wash their hands using soap and clean running water. However, washing hands cannot be done every time and in every place. Therefore, there is an innovation of hand sanitizer without using running water, namely hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizer is a waterless hand sanitizer innovation that contains antiseptic substances. Hand sanitizer works as an antibacterial in inhibiting and even killing bacteria. Antiseptics are chemical compounds used to inhibit or kill microorganisms in living tissue. The purpose of using antiseptics is to inhibit or kill bacteria by inhibiting bacterial enzymes and reducing the permeability of bacterial cell membranes through bacterial precipitation, oxidation, and halogenation. Antiseptics usually contain alcohol, chlorhexidine, and anilides. Antiseptics that are widely used in the medical world are antiseptics with alcohol content based on the ability of alcohol to kill bacteria.

Abstract

Excessive free radicals can induce oxidative stress and provoke degenerative diseases in human body. Plant extracts such as starfruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.), guava (Psidium guajava L.), red spinach (Alternanthera amoena voss.), soursop (Annona muricata L.), and cherry (Muntingia calabura L.) harbor natural antioxidants that hold promise for theurapeutic use in these conditions. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature (25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, 42,5°C, 45°C, 50°C, 55°C, 60°C) and time (10, 20, 30, 45, 60 minutes) of plant extraction using ultrasonic method on antioxidant activity. This study used systematic review method that use evidence-based data to be reviewed, valuated, assessed for quality, and analyzed. There were 5 journals that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria which will be used as data sources for further study. The results showed that the treatment of temperature and extraction time using ultrasonic method have notable impact on the antioxidant activity as the increasing temperature and time of extraction are directly proportional to antioxidant compounds in plant extracts, yet after passing a certain point it begins to decrease due to the excessive exposure, the best extraction temperatures to achieve the highest antioxidant activity are 40°C, 42,5°C, 45°C with extraction time of 20 minutes.

Abstract

Lithium was introduced into modern psychiatric medicine; in 1970, Lithium was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of manic illness; later in 1974 is used for the prevention of manic-depressive illness. Aim of the study: To find out the effect of lithium on mental depression in the presence of phenytoin as a sodium channel blocker, using mice Methods: Male albino mice weighing between 25-40g are used. A forced swimming maze is used to screen for the effect of Lithium on mental depression. Drugs subacute administration is applied. Results: Lithium or phenytoin administration, each alone produces an antidepressant effect. While subacute administration of combined treatment of lithium and phenytoin produces an antidepressant effect less than the additive action of both lithium and phenytoin. Conclusion: Lithium has an antidepressant effect; also, phenytoin administration produces antidepressant action. Administration of phenytoin and lithium together, leads to a decrease in the pharmacological effect of each, as antidepressant, due to their interaction. Therefore, patients receiving the combined treatment of phenytoin and lithium should be under observation. Also, the free (unbound) phenytoin and lithium levels should be measured under medical control.

Abstract

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) adalah gangguan pencernaan kronis yang terjadi ketika asam lambung naik ke esofagus, menyebabkan gejala seperti nyeri ulu hati dan regurgitasi, yang dapat berlanjut menjadi komplikasi serius yang menurunkan kualitas hidup pasien. Penelitian ini menilai pola penggunaan terapi pada pasien GERD di Korea dengan membandingkan tiga jenis terapi: terapi kontinu, terapi on-demand, dan terapi intermittent. Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Cheal Wung Huh et al. (2023) menggunakan desain observasional, potong lintang (cross-section), dan dilakukan secara multicenter. Penelitian lain yang dilakukan di Bandung merupakan penelitian deskriptif non eksperimental menggunakan metode purposive sampling dan dilaksanakan secara retrospektif yang diperoleh dari 41 rekam medik pasien GERD. Berdasarkan karakteristik responden dalam penelitian Susan Park et al. (2020), Penelitian ini melibatkan 86.936 pasien dalam kelompok pengobatan PPI dan 40 pasien dalam kelompok operasi fundoplikasi. Pasien yang memiliki gejala GERD dengan periode waktu yang singkat atau bahkan NERD (Non Erosive Reflux Disease) lebih menyukai pengobatan secara kontinu dibanding on-demand. Sedangkan pasien yang mengalami gejala GERD dan ERD (Erosive Reflux Disease) jangka panjang lebih memilih terapi secara on-demand. Kombinasi Pantoprazol dan Sukralfat lebih efektif dari monoterapi, namun kombinasi tiga obat tidak direkomendasikan karena efektivitas tidak meningkat dan menambah biaya. Pemilihan terapi perlu disesuaikan dengan kondisi pasien serta kesadaran terhadap risiko jangka panjang.

Abstract

Hypertension is a type of cardiovascular disease with a prevalence that continues to increase every year and is a global cause of death, especially among the elderly. The World Health Organization (WHO) notes that approximately 1.13 billion people worldwide live with hypertension. One of the major challenges in its management is low patient adherence to medication therapy, which impacts blood pressure control and increases the risk of complications. The level of non-adherence is caused by several internal and external factors. This research method uses a systematic literature review approach to examine the effect of patient knowledge level on compliance in hypertension treatment control. Literature was searched using Google Scholar with the inclusion criteria of relevant articles published in the range of 2015-2025, resulting in one main article and five supporting articles. The results showed that non-compliance is often caused by low patient knowledge, limited access to health services, advanced age, and socio-economic conditions. Patients who have a good understanding of hypertension and regularly follow medication and patient control tend to show better blood pressure control, so strategies related to education and more support are needed to improve patient compliance. Therefore, to improve adherence, an approach of continuous education, counseling, and support from health workers and families is needed. These strategies are important to prevent long-term complications and improve the quality of life of hypertensive patients

Abstract

Dental caries remains a prevalent global health concern, often linked to Streptococcus mutans, a primary contributor to plaque formation and tooth demineralization. Conventional toothpaste formulations, while effective, frequently contain fluoride and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which may cause undesirable side effects, prompting a shift toward natural, eco-friendly alternatives. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate a lemon water (Citrus limon L.) toothpaste, assessing its physical stability, antibacterial potential, and consumer acceptability over a 21-day period. The formulation included lemon water, pectin, sorbitol, calcium carbonate, cocamidopropyl betaine, menthol, vitamin E, benzyl alcohol, and distilled water, designed to ensure homogeneity, spreadability, and sensory appeal. The product underwent comprehensive evaluations: organoleptic analysis, pH measurement, homogeneity assessment, spreadability and adhesion testing, foamability evaluation, viscosity analysis, and hedonic testing with 30 respondents. Results demonstrated that the toothpaste maintained a smooth gel texture, white color, and lemon aroma throughout the observation period. pH stability was consistent at 6, supporting antibacterial efficacy and user comfort. Slight non-homogeneity emerged, attributed to natural extract particulates, while viscosity increased over time, affecting spreadability yet remaining within acceptable commercial ranges. Adhesion improved alongside viscosity, ensuring better retention during use. Foam production, though moderate, satisfied sensory preferences without relying on harsh surfactants. Hedonic testing confirmed significant consumer preference, emphasizing the product’s sensory appeal and usability. This study contributes to the advancement of sustainable oral care products by demonstrating that lemon water toothpaste can balance antimicrobial effectiveness, physical stability, and user satisfaction. The formulation offers a viable, eco-conscious alternative to conventional toothpaste, aligning with growing market demand for natural personal care solutions. Future research should explore refining production processes to improve homogeneity, extend stability duration, and broaden antibacterial efficacy against other oral pathogens.

Abstract

Sweet soy sauce is a fermented soybean product widely used as a traditional Indonesian seasoning. Its production process involves specific microorganisms to develop unique taste, aroma, and texture characteristics. However, poor hygiene and sanitation can lead to microbial contamination, such as Coliform, which may degrade quality and pose health risks. This study aimed to evaluate the microbiological quality of sweet soy sauce using the Most Probable Number (MPN) method. Samples were collected from food vendors around the UPN "Veteran" Jakarta campus and tested using liquid media to detect the presence of Coliform. The results showed that sample 1 (street vendor) had an MPN value of 14 MPN/gram, exceeding the BPOM safety limit (3 MPN/gram), while sample 2 (packaged soy sauce from a minimarket) was within the safety limit at 3 MPN/gram. A confirmatory test detected the presence of Escherichia coli in sample 1 but not in sample 2. Proper product handling, implementation of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and regular microbiological monitoring are necessary to ensure the safety of sweet soy sauce products.
