Abstract

Trichophyton rubrum is a common fungus that causes a dermatophyte infection known as tinea cruris. More than a fifth of the population in Indonesia suffers from this infection.  Alpinia purpurata K. Schum or well known as red galangal is said to have antifungal properties because of its composition, which includes compounds such as volatile oil, acetyl chavicol, flavonoids, and phenols. This study was aimed to determine the antifungal activity of a oil-in-water-based cream containing red galangal rhizome extract (RGRE) against T. rubrum. RGRE was obtained by macerating the rhizomes in a solvent of 96% ethanol and evaporating until a thick extract was obtained. The extract was then formulated into an oil/water-based cream at concentrations of 10%, 15%, and 20%. The creams were evaluated for their physical properties, including organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, adhesivity, and spreadability. The antifungal activity was tested using the agar diffusion method against T. rubrum. Data on the physical properties of the creams and their antifungal activity were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test with a 95% confidence level. The results showed that creams with higher RGRE concentrations exhibited decreased spreadability and pH values but increased the viscosity and adhesivity test. The antifungal activity increased with higher RGE concentrations, starting at 10%, 15%, and 20%, with inhibition diameters of 12.33 mm, 18.83 mm, and 21.66 mm, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that RGE concentration affected the physical properties of the cream, including pH, spreadability, viscosity, adhesivity test as well as antifungal activity (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the water-in-oil-based cream containing 20% RGRE exhibits favorable physical properties and antifungal activity.

Abstract

Complete basic immunization aims to establish an effective protection system and herd immunity. Factors that influence immunization programs are parents' knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes. Efforts to improve parents' understanding can be done through education using easily accessible video media. This study aims to determine the effect of complete basic immunization education based on video on parents' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding immunization. This study employs a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-post-test design. Data collection was conducted in April 2024. A total of 361 participants were recruited for this study, with inclusion criteria including parents of children aged up to 1.5 years residing in the service area of the Public Health Center in Yogyakarta City, and who had provided informed consent. The measurement of parents' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding child immunization was assessed at the pre-test and post-test intervention stages, specifically on day 1 after recruitment and the post-test on day 7 after the educational intervention. The data collection instrument used a questionnaire on parents' knowledge, attitudes, and practices, which had previously undergone validity and reliability testing. Statistical data analysis used the Wilcoxon test. The level of respondents' knowledge after receiving the intervention using educational videos showed an increase in the good criteria from 80.1% to 97.2%, attitude good criteria from 83.1% to 97.0%, while practice showed good criteria from 92.8% to 96.7%. The Wilcoxon test results for knowledge and attitude showed positive ranks of 62 and 50 respondents, respectively, who experienced an increase in knowledge with a p-value of 0.000, while for complete basic immunization practices, there was an increase of 3 respondents with a p-value of 0.083. There was a significant effect of education through videos about complete basic immunization on parents' knowledge and attitudes with a p-value of 0.000, but there was no significant effect on practice.

Abstract

Diclofenac potassium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) frequently employed as an analgesic therapy for inflammatory conditions and pain associated with Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. It is formulated as a dispersible tablet, requiring dispersion in solution prior to administration to expedite onset and facilitate use, particularly for patients with difficulty swallowing intact tablets. This study aims to investigate the effects of the optimal combination and proportion of Explotab and Avicel pH-101 in the formulation of diclofenac potassium dispersible tablets using the Simplex Lattice Design (SLD) method with two factors. The tablet formulations, based on the SLD method with Explotab (A) and Avicel pH-101 (B) as excipients, are as follows: FI (100% A), FII (75% A:25% B), FIII (50% A:50% B), FIV (25% A:75% B), and FV (100% B). The tablets were prepared via direct compression and subsequently evaluated for their physical properties, including hardness, friability, size uniformity, weight uniformity, disintegration time, dispersion time, wetting time, and content determination. The study's findings indicated that the combination of Explotab and Avicel pH-101 affected the physical properties of the tablets, notably decreasing weight uniformity, enhancing tablet hardness, reducing friability, and prolonging both disintegration and dispersion times of the diclofenac potassium dispersible tablets. The optimal formula was identified as comprising 40% Explotab and 60% Avicel pH-101. This optimal formulation was determined based on the highest total response value calculated using the Simplex Lattice Design with two factors

Abstract

Indonesia is a country rich in biodiversity and high culture, including traditional knowledge such as the use of medicinal plants. This study examines ethnopharmacological practices in two indigenous communities on the island of Sumatra: the Anak Dalam tribe in Jambi and the Mentawai tribe in West Sumatra. The study reviewed several articles on medicinal plants on Google Scholar related to the plant species used, plant parts utilized, processing methods, and indications for their use in traditional medicine. The review results show that both tribes utilize various plants to treat ailments such as fever, diarrhea, coughs, wounds, digestive disorders, and infections. Some of these are supported by scientific evidence regarding their pharmacological activities, such as Zingiber officinale, Psidium guajava, Curcuma longa, and Eurycoma longifolia. The results of this review confirm that the traditional knowledge of both communities has excellent potential for development in pharmacy and conventional medicine. Documentation and scientific study of medicinal plants are crucial for cultural preservation and the development of traditional medicine.

Abstract

Hypertension is a condition that frequently coexists with comorbidities, often necessitating polypharmacy and consequently increasing the risk of drug-drug interactions (DDIs). This study aimed to analyze the pattern and severity of potential DDIs among hypertensive outpatients with comorbidities at North Lombok Regional General Hospital in 2024. This study employed a descriptive observational design with retrospective data collection. A total of 100 outpatient medical records meeting the criteria were selected via probability sampling from the hospital database during January to December 2024. Among the included patients, 50% were aged >60 years, 60% were female, and 91% were covered by the National Health Insurance. Potential DDIs were assessed using the Drugs.com drug interaction checker and categorized based on severity into major, moderate, and minor. A total of 257 potential DDI events were identified, consisting of 19 major interactions (7.4%), 205 moderate interactions (79.8%), and 33 minor interactions (12.8%). The most frequent major interaction was the combination of spironolactone and candesartan, which poses a significant risk of hyperkalemia and hypotension. Moderate interactions were predominantly observed with the combination of furosemide and bisoprolol, which may increase the risk of hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Meanwhile, the most frequent minor interaction was aspirin with bisoprolol, which may reduced beta-blocker antihypertensive effect. In conclusion, this study found that moderate severity potential DDIs were the most prevalent and could significantly impact therapeutic outcomes in hypertensive patients with comorbidities. These findings highlight the critical role of clinical pharmacists in identifying and mitigating clinically significant interactions through rigorous prescription monitoring, patient education, and optimization of drug therapy. Strengthened monitoring and evaluation of drug regimens are recommended to minimize the risk of adverse drug reactions and enhance patient safety.
