Abstract

The delay in the examination of pleural effusion fluid may lead to damage to the specimens. To minimize this damage, the addition of fixative solutions is often employed, one of which is 50% alcohol. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of using 50% alcohol in fixing smears of pleural effusion fluid that are delayed in examination, as well as to assess the morphological quality of cells in effusion smears stored with and without fixative solutions. The research method is experimental, utilizing a pretest-posttest design. Sampling was conducted using accidental sampling, with specimens categorized into four treatment groups (immediate examination, immediate examination with 50% alcohol fixative, delayed examination without fixative, and delayed examination with 50% alcohol fixative). Smears were stained using the Diff-Quik method. The assessment results were analyzed descriptively and with a paired T-test. In the comparison between immediate without and delayed without, the T-test results showed a significant difference (p = 0.002, <0.05). Conversely, in the comparison between immediate and delayed with fixative, no significant difference was found (p = 0.707, >0.05). The comparison between immediate without and immediate with fixative showed a significant change (p = 0.005, <0.05), while the comparison between delayed without fixative and delayed with fixative was not significant (p = 0.775, >0.05). The alternative hypothesis was rejected based on the paired T-test, as no significant difference was found in the delayed samples compared to the samples that were delayed with the addition of 50% alcohol fixative.

Abstract

One of the superior varieties developed by the Agricultural Biotechnology and Genetic Resources Research and Development Center (BBPSI Biogen) is the Biograss Agrinak elephant grass. This grass was released as a superior forage crop variety in 2021 and has an impressive yield potential of 319 tons/hectare/year. This study aims to analyze the effect of liquid organic fertilizer application on the growth and productivity of Biograss elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. biograss) as livestock feed. The research method used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a non-factorial arrangement consisting of 4 treatments and 5 replications. The parameters observed in this study included leaf width, leaf length, plant height, and fresh yield of odot grass. The results showed that treatment P3 resulted in the highest increases in leaf width (3.44 cm), leaf length (62.10 cm), plant height (90.19 cm), and fresh yield of odot grass (687.5 grams), with significant differences compared to other treatments. Application of liquid organic fertilizer at a dose of 15 ml per 1 liter of water gave the best results and has the potential to be applied on a larger scale.

Abstract

Introduction: Porphyromonas gingivalis promotes the growth of periodontal biofilm. Metronidazole is one of the adjunctive therapies for periodontitis. The combination of metronidazole with natural products such as Carica papaya seeds ethanolic extract, which has proven to have antibacterial effects is expected to reduce the side effects caused by metronidazole. Objective: To determine the antibacterial and antibiofilm effects of C. papaya seeds ethanolic extract combined with metronidazole against P. gingivalis. Methods: In vitro laboratory experiment using post-test only control group design. The sample used were 100% C. papaya seeds ethanolic extract, combination of 1000 µg/mL metronidazole with extract 3.125%, 6.25%, 12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 100%, 1000 µg/mL and 2000 µg/mL metronidazole as positive control, and distilled water as negative control. Antibacterial test was performed using plate count method and antibiofilm using microtiter plate biofilm assay method. Results: Carica papaya seeds ethanolic extract alone showed effective antibacterial and antibiofilm effects against P. gingivalis. The combination of 1000 µg/mL metronidazole with extract 6.25% to 100% showed an antibacterial effect equivalent to 2000 µg/mL metronidazole. The combination of 1000 µg/mL metronidazole with 100% extract showed antibiofilm effects in 1, 3, and 24 hours time incubation. The combination of extract and 1000 µg/mL metronidazole demonstrated the best antibiofilm effect during the biofilm maturation phase. Conclusion: The combination of 1000 µg/mL metronidazole with ethanol extract of C. papaya seeds exhibited antibacterial and antibiofilm effects against P. gingivalis.

Abstract

Melaleuca leucadendron L. (commonly known as Gelam wood) is a plant that thrives in the swampy regions of South Sumatra. The utilization of this plant has historically been limited to its wood, leaving the potential of its leaves and seeds largely unexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the species of Gelam wood and investigate the phytochemical content and antioxidant potential of its leaves and seeds.The methodology involved methanol extraction of the plant material, followed by comprehensive phytochemical screening and an antioxidant activity assay using the DPPH method.The phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of several key compounds, with the Gelam extracts testing positive for Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Steroids, Saponins, Tannins, and Triterpenoids. Furthermore, the extract from the leaves and seeds demonstrated potent antioxidant activity, evidenced by an IC50​ value of 47.56 ppm, which classifies it as a strong antioxidant (<50 ppm).This research highlights the significant therapeutic potential of Melaleuca leucadendron leaves and seeds, suggesting they are valuable sources of natural antioxidants

Abstract

Jamu is a traditional Indonesian drink derived from plants that are efficacious for use in efforts to maintain health and cure diseases. However, because the manufacturing process is still simple, jamu is at high risk of contamination by microorganisms such as fungi and pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp. This study aims to determine the presence of Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp. Coliform contamination in Javanese turmeric herbal medicine sold in traditional markets. This study is based on the simple process of making jamu using hands, unclean clothes from jamu makers, and unclean processing areas, this will increase the risk of contamination and result in jamu being contaminated by microorganisms that can endanger consumer health. Data collection techniques use testing and counting of bacterial colonies with the TPC (Total Plate Count) method and Escherichia coli bacteria with the MPN (Most Probable Number) method which consists of Presumptive Test, Confirmatory Test and Complementary Test. The results of the analysis showed that in the TPC (Total Plate Count) test, three of the five samples, namely Sp 1, Sp 3 and Sp 4, showed results that were suitable for consumption because the TPC (Total Plate Count) value did not exceed the maximum limit of BPOM 2019 and two of the five samples, namely Sp 2 and Sp 5, showed results that were not suitable for consumption because they exceeded the maximum limit of BPOM 2019.
