Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the mandatory lockdown and government policy in prioritizing COVID-19 patients affected patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Most DFU patients experienced difficulties visiting hospitals and covering the cost of treatment, which led to changes in patient characteristics, poor clinical outcomes, and higher total costs. This study aimed to determine the sociodemographic and clinical outcomes profile of DFU patients under National Health Insurance (NHI-DFU) during the COVID-19 pandemic and their effect on the total direct medical cost. This cross-sectional study enrolled all JKN-DFU hospitalized patients at the National Referral Hospital, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM), Jakarta, Indonesia, during COVID-19 pandemic (March 2nd, 2020, to December 2022). We used electronic health records, electronic billing, and foot registry systems. Participants were over 18 years old in a single admission period. Statistical analysis used Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis; Post hoc used the Mann-Whitney test. There were 158 JKN-DFU patients with predominated criteria: female patients (55.1%), aged over 60 years old (55.1%) with a mean age of 59.3 ± 11.0 years, unemployed (63.9%), intermediate educated (41.8%), Jakarta residents (68.4%), and mostly severe infection (63.3%). The total cost was much higher than INA-CBG’s coverage. The occupation (p=0.048), length of stay (LOS) (p=0.001), and amputation status (p<0.001) significantly affected total cost. Civil servants, longer LOS, and major amputation status leading higher total costs.

Abstract

Wounds are physical injuries that can cause damage to skin tissue. The extract of komba-komba leaves (Chromolaena odorata L) contains flavonoids, saponins, and tannins, which are wound healers formulated as ointment preparations. This study aims to determine how administering komba-komba leaf extract ointment affects wound healing. The maceration method obtained a thick extract of komba-komba leaves. Komba-komba leaf extract ointment was made in three formulas based on differences in extract concentration: FI = 5%, FII = 10% and FIII = 15%). The ointment preparations obtained were subjected to organoleptic tests (color, odor, and consistency) and physical tests, including homogeneity, pH, viscosity, spreadability, stability tests, and scratch wound healing activity tests. The results showed that the extract’s concentration affected the ointment preparation's color, consistency, and physical properties. The effectiveness test results for healing scratches showed that the ointment preparation with an extract concentration of 15% provided an effective healing speed.

Abstract

Nutraceutical drinks are increasingly being chosen by the public as alternative medicine or as supportive therapy for disease prevention, offering minimal side effects with long-term use. This trend has gained momentum, mainly due to the rising incidence of COVID-19 and the emergence of highly transmissible variants. The combination of red ginger, lime juice, and honey will produce a healthy drink preparation containing antioxidants with vitamin C levels as an immune booster. This study aims to formulate a nutraceutical drink made from red ginger ((Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) combined with lime (Citrus aurantifolia) and honey also determine the antioxidant activity and the highest vitamin C levels. Physical stability tests include organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, specific gravity, viscosity, and accelerated stability tests using freeze-thaw cycling method. The antioxidant activity test using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method and analysis of vitamin C levels using the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method. The formulation was made with variations of lime juice FI (1%), FII (2%), and FIII (4%). The results of physical stability of the three formulations are not much different but based on organoleptic, FI has the best taste which is not too spicy and we are sure that most people will like it. Meanwhile, the highest antioxidant activity was possessed by FIII with an IC50 value of 11.21 ppm, which is classified as very strong and has the highest vitamin C content of 9103.88 µg/mL.

Abstract

Hyperuricemia is a non-communicable disease characterized by high levels of purine in the blood. One of the foods high in purine is melinjo chips. Instant granules from melinjo peel extract with a concentration of 450 mg have been proven to be effective as an anti-hyperuricemia treatment. To ensure the quality of the instant granule preparation, a quality evaluation was conducted to establish it as a new alternative in hyperuricemia therapy. The study aimed to assess the quality of the instant granule preparation of melinjo peel extract, including physical evaluation (particle size, loss on drying, and pH), characterization with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and specific microbial tests. The test results revealed that the particle size of the instant granules was classified as coarse particles, the Loss on Drying results showed 1.29% granule loss, and the pH evaluation indicated that the granules had a pH of 7.78. Based on the SEM characterization, the granules exhibited non-clumping and heterogeneous morphology. FTIR analysis showed the presence of quercetin in the instant granules of melinjo peel. Specific microbial testing indicated the absence of E. Coli in the preparation. Therefore, it is concluded that the instant granule preparation of melinjo peel has characteristics that make it suitable for development as an instant nutraceutical granule preparation for anti-hyperuricemia treatment.

Abstract

Breast cancer is a disease with the highest mortality rate. The first line of breast cancer treatment uses chemotherapy, but it has serious side effects on patients. Gambir (Uncaria gambir (Hunter) Roxb.) contains catechin compounds that show cytotoxic activity. This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant activity and cytotoxic effects on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells from the bioactive fraction of gambir leaves. Gambir extract was fractionated with water, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane solvents. Determination of catechin levels in the fractions used high-performance thin-layer chromatography. Antioxidant activity was tested using 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and cytotoxicity tests on MCF-7 cells were carried out using MTT assay with inhibition of protein expression anti-apoptosis was determined by immunocytochemistry assay. The ethyl acetate fraction had the highest catechin content, namely 93.05%. The results of the antioxidant activity test showed that the IC50 values were consecutively for the water fraction 42.48 µg/mL, ethyl acetate 14.86 µg/mL, and n-hexane 49.63 µg/mL. In the MTT test, the ethyl acetate fraction had more potent cytotoxic activity with an IC50 value of 87.52 µg/mL. This study shows that the ethyl acetate fraction of gambir leaves has potent antioxidant and cytotoxic activity. The higher catechin content relates to antioxidant and cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cells.
