Abstract

Hypertension is the primary cause of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), as it damages blood vessels in the kidneys. The most commonly used management for hypertension as monotherapy includes Calcium Channel Blockers (CCB) such as Amlodipine and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB) such as candesartan. Patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis depend on dialysis machines, which impacts their economic burden. Therefore, a cost analysis review of drugs with the same therapeutic goals is necessary. This was a non-experimental study with a descriptive design. Data were collected through retrospective purposive sampling from January to December 2023 using medical records and payment data for inpatient treatments with hemodialysis that met the inclusion criteria. Direct medical costs included antihypertensive, other medication, service and facility fees, and medical support costs. Of the 100 samples that met the inclusion criteria from January to December 2023, amlodipine was the most commonly used antihypertensive (56%), followed by candesartan (38%). The average direct medical costs were IDR 184.350 for Amlodipine and IDR 561,339 for candesartan. The patient characteristics by gender showed a higher percentage of males (52%) than of females (48%). By age, the majority were in the late adult group (67%), whereas the elderly accounted for (33%). The Amlodipine group achieved more significant cost minimization than the candesartan group. Future studies should examine the potential of amlodipine in reducing the economic burden of limited resources.  Keywords: antihypertensive, CMA, CKD

Abstract

The fungi are sponge symbionts.  The fungus Penicillium nalgiovense acc MK087096  is a symbiont of the sponge Gelliodes fibulata. This symbiont has antibacterial activity, which supports the development of sponge-based drugs that are as effective as antibiotics. However, the primary challenge in developing marine resource-based medicine is the availability and sustainability of sponge raw materials. Fermentation biotechnology using sponge symbiont fumgi is an effective solution to address these challenges, as it allows the production of bioactive secondary metabolite compounds in large quantities, which can be used as raw materials for pharmaceutical preparation. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal medium and fermentation duration for producing secondary metabolites with antibiotic properties from the symbiotic fungus Penicillium nalgiovense, isolated from the sponge Gelliodes fibulata. This study was conducted naturally. The symbiotic fungus from the sponge Gelliodes fibulata was cultivated to facilitate growth. Fermentation was conducted with variations in secondary metabolite harvesting times of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 days.  Secondary metabolites were obstained using liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. The optimal medium and fermentation time were determined based on the yield percentage for each medium across the six time variations. The fermentation biotechnology of the symbiotic fungus Penicillium nalgiovense acc MK087096 from the spone Gelliodes fibulata was carried out on SDB, PDB, also coconut flake-enriched PDB media.  The results showed the growth of the fungus and the production of bioactive secondary metabolites with antibiotic properties ...

Abstract

Inadequate menstrual hygiene can increase the risk of reproductive tract infections, including pelvic inflammatory disease, dysmenorrhea, and infertility. Therefore, the use of safe and effective menstrual products is essential. Currently, disposable pads are widely recognized products. Disposable pad waste is deemed environmentally detrimental, leading to an estimated annual production of 113,000 tons. Menstrual cups are a viable long-term alternative, since they can be reused for up to ten years, effectively prevent leaks, accommodate various activities, and diminish the risk of toxic shock syndrome. Examining Indonesian women's knowledge and attitudes about menstrual cups is crucial, as it substantially aids in advancing the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Procedure. This was a quantitative study utilizing anonymous web-based questionnaires. Outcomes.  Of the Indonesian women, 75.97% possessed limited knowledge, while only 24.03%weree well-informed about menstruation cups as eco-friendly menstrual devices. 85.06% of Indonesian women were disinclined to utilize menstruation cups, while only 14.94% expressed a willingness to adopt these environmentally friendly menstrual devices. The ?-value was 0.514>0.05, which represents statistical insignificance; hence, knowledge was not associated with attitude.  Keywords: attitude; knowledge; menstrual_cup; menstruation; women_health

Abstract

Purple leaves in Indonesia can be used as an anti-inflammatory medication and laxative to treat hemorrhoids, rheumatism, boils, and skin diseases. Purple leaves are also used as free-radical antidotes. This was due to the presence of secondary metabolite compounds in purple leaves. The right extraction method determines the amount of flavonoids that can be extracted and achieves a high flavonoid content. This study aimed to determine the total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity of purple leaves using different extraction methods, namely maceration and Soxhletation. This study employed an experimental method of testing total flavonoid levels using UV-Vis spectrophotometry and antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. The results showed that the maceration method yielded a total flavonoid level of 4,422 ± 0,047 ppm, which was higher than that obtained using the Soxhletation method (1,547 ± 0,027 ppm). In the antioxidant activity test, vitamin C was used as a comparator, with an IC50 of 2.263 ppm (very strong). The IC50 of purple leaf extract using the maceration method was 123,32 ppm (medium), while the soxhletation method yielded an IC50 of 104,42 ppm (medium). This shows that vitamin C has more potent antioxidant activity in counteracting free radicals than purple leaf extract, using maceration and Soxhletation methods. The  results showed a significant difference in total flavonoid levels using different extraction methods, while there was no significant difference in the antioxidant activity of purple leaf extract using maceration and  Soxhletation methods.   Keywords: antioxidant, extraction, flavonoid, maceration, purple leaf, soxhletation

Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a prevalent skin condition that is characterized by inflammatory lesions. Propionibacterium acnes is a key bacterium implicated in its pathogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the antibacterial potential of Carica papaya leaf extract against P. acnes and its efficacy when formulated into acne patches. Ethanolic extracts of C. papaya leaves were prepared at concentrations of 20%, 25%, and 30%. These extracts were incorporated into acne patch formulations and evaluated for antibacterial activity using the paper disc diffusion method. Clindamycin 1% was used as a positive control and 70% ethanol was used as a negative control. The results demonstrated that all concentrations of the C. papaya leaf extract exhibited significant antibacterial activity against P. acnes. The 30% concentration demonstrated the largest zone of inhibition, which was comparable to that of the positive control. These findings suggest that C. papaya leaf extract-based acne patches are promising natural alternatives for the treatment of acne vulgaris. Keywords: Papaya leaves (Carica papaya L), Propionibacterium acne, Acne patch, Inhibitory power
