Abstract

Patients with chronic renal failure must undergo lifelong treatment. The condition raises treatment-related responsibilities and may affect their treatment adhesion. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between the burden of medication and the level of medication adherence among chronic kidney failure patients at Sleman Regional Hospital in Yogyakarta. This study took the form of observational study with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected using LMQ (Living with Medicine Questionnaire) and Visual Analog Sacle (VAS) overall burden to determine the burden and MARS (Medication Adherence Rating Scale) to determine medication adherence level. The samples in this study were 60 patients from all patients  undergoing hemodialysis who met the inclusion criteria. Sampling was taken using a consecutive sampling technique with inclusion criteria of patients willing to complete the questionnaire and patients diagnosed with chronic renal  failure aged more than 18 years. To determine the relationship between medication burden and medication adherence, data was examined using the Spearman test.  The results of this study showed that 40 patients (66.7%) had moderate medication burden and 50 patients (83%) had moderate medication adherence. There was a significant correlation between the LMQ score and MARS (correlation-coefficient = 0.581, p=0.000) and a significant correlation between the VAS score and MARS (correlation-coefficient= 0.651, p=0.000). Thus, it can be concluded that there is a positive relationship between treatment burden and the level of treatment compliance, where the higher the burden, the higher the level of compliance in chronic kidney failure patients.

Abstract

Stunting has been linked to malnutrition in children from prenatal to before five years old, a condition with 24% prevalence, according to the 2021 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey. Ciamis (West Java, Indonesia) reported 2,334 cases (3.4%) of stunting problems in 2022. The government has introduced Fe tablets to pregnant women, but this specific intervention can only be effective if accompanied by their adequate knowledge and positive perception of its usefulness, which can be influenced by their experience, education level, and sociocultural environment. This study aimed to determine the relationship between demographic characteristics and knowledge and attitudes toward Fe supplementation. This quantitative research adopted the analytical survey and cross-sectional designs and used demographics, knowledge, and attitudes questionnaires as the research instruments. Cluster sampling in the operational area of the Sadananya Public Health Center in Ciamis obtained 151 respondents. Data were analyzed using a chi-square test in SPSS. Results show that the majority of the sample size had low knowledge (118 respondents; 77.6%) and less positive attitudes (103; 67.8%) toward Fe supplementation. There was a significant relationship between age and knowledge (p=0.044), while none was observed between knowledge and education (p=0.100) and obstetric history (p=0.057). Moreover, age, education, and obstetric history were not statistically related to attitudes toward Fe supplementation (p=0.645, 0.951, 0.792). From these findings, it can be concluded that knowledge is strongly linked to age but not to education and obstetric history. Also, there is no significant relationship between attitudes toward Fe supplementation and age, education, and obstetric history.

Abstract

Parkinson's disease is a chronic neurological illness that may be caused by a decrease in dopaminergic neurons in the brain. Myristicin, eugenol, and flavonoids, which are bioactive compounds in nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt.), may be able to treat Parkinson's disease. The goal of this study was to find out the antiparkinsonian effect of nutmeg in haloperidol-induced Parkinson's disease mice. Induction with haloperidol was carried out intraperitoneally for 7 consecutive days. Treatment with nutmeg uses three different doses (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) for 7 days orally. Behavioral testing is carried out using the Rotarod test and the cylinder test. The results showed that nutmeg at a dose of 20 mg/kg was able to show significant improvement (P < 0.05) in the motor condition of test animals induced by haloperidol.

Abstract

Convincing data regarding carcinogenic substances is very useful for handling materials correctly to avoid exposure to cancer-triggering substances in the body. To collect as much carcinogen data as possible, low-requirement carcinogen detection setups need to be developed. In this study, the first steps in the development of carcinogen detection through functional protein expression assessment are reported. Hydrazine sulfate, one of the well-known carcinogens chosen as a model material, was tested on germinating seeds of Raphanus sativus, L, with various concentrations, namely 0 (control), 1 mM, 10 mM, and 100 mM. Within a predetermined germination time, seeds and/or sprouts were observed and germination rate, protein concentration, and alkaline phosphatase activity were measured. The results showed that hydrazine sulfate slowed seed germination, and increased 72-h protein concentration but decreased alkaline phosphatase activity in the control group. This suggests that changes in alkaline phosphatase activity in seeds during germination have the potential to be a marker for cancer. In this research, it can be concluded that the method used can be applied as a first step to prove the carcinogenicity of a compound.

Abstract

Sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata) has been known empirically as a plant that has benefits as a traditional antidiabetic Javanese medicine to treat diabetes mellitus (DM). The main compound contained in sambiloto is andrographolide which has a hypoglycemia effect. Andrographolide has low solubility in water and poor bioavailability due to biotransformation by P-glycoprotein in the intestinal tract which causes andrographolide to metabolize more quickly in the duodenum and jejunum. To overcome this extract ethanol of sambiloto (EES) formulated to patch transdermal. Enhancers can affect the characteristics of transdermal patch preparations which affect the pharmacological activity of transdermal patch preparations. The critical point of transdermal patch preparation is the selection of enhancers which is one of the compounds to increase the penetration of active substances in the skin by disrupting the permeability of the stratum corneum. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of variations in the combination of oleic acid and tween 80 as an enhancer on the physical characteristics of EES patches.The methods of extraction sambiloto use soxhetation with ethanol 96% as solvent. The formulation of EES patch transdermal using solvent casting technique with various concentration enhancer tween-80 and oleic acid. This research was conducted by making 3 formulas, where F1  (1:1), F2 (1:3) and F3 (1:3). The evaluations include weight uniformity, thickness, water content, pH and folding endurance of the patch. The result of visual appearance the patch EES has a dark green with aroma specific of EES. The characteristics of EES transdermal patches were affected by the ratio of tween-80 and oleic acid as the enhancers. The combination of oleic acid and tween 80 as a permeation enhancer has an influence on physical characteristics (weight and thickness) of EES patches.

Abstract

The avian species virus that causes Newcastle disease is an extremely contagious illness. Avian paramyxovirus 1, or Newcastle disease virus (NDV), is a virus that brings harm to poultry's central nervous system and digestive tract. The NDV outbreak was initially documented in 1928 in Java, Indonesia. Newcastle disease does not currently require therapy. One popular and useful strategy for preventing and treating viral infections, such as Newcastle disease, is vaccination. With a variety of native medicinal plants and an abundance of biodiversity, Indonesia presents a promising area for biotechnology and pharmaceutical research. Laportea decumana, is a native plant in the Eastern part of Indonesia that contains alkaloids, glycosides, steroids, flavonoids, tannin, and saponin. Its cytotoxic, analgesic, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties have all been demonstrated. The antiviral properties of L. decumana have not been extensively researched. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine L. decumana's antiviral activity, particularly against NDV, using a variety of techniques, including the plaque assay, cytotoxicity test, and gene expression experiment. L. decumana extracts at 100 mikrogram per mL or less is a safe concentration to consider, as it still has 65 persen and above cell viability based on the results of the cytotoxic assay.

Abstract

Sustained-release dosage forms were critical in drug delivery, ensuring controlled and prolonged release for optimal therapeutic outcomes. Chitosan (CH) has become pivotal in sustained-release tablet formulation due to its biocompatibility and mucoadhesive properties. This study aims to explore the release kinetics of furosemide (FS) from CH matrix tablets in a concurrent medium. The formulation involves a core tablet and coated tablet, with CH matrix as a binder and Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose Phthalate (HPMCP) as a film-coated for the core tablet, and both are made using the wet granulation method. Assessment parameters include tablet hardness, disintegration, and FS release profiles across various media, analyzed using spectrophotometric methods to comprehend drug release kinetics with multiple models such as zero-order, first-order, Higuchi, and Korsmeyer-Peppas employed. In the press-coated tablet comprising core tablet CH as matrix uncoated with 20 mg CH per tablet core, a zero-order release pattern emerged in the pH 1.2 medium within 0-2 h, which displayed first-order release kinetics within 2-6 h and 6-16 h in concurrent media of pH 5.8 and 7.4. Notably, a zero-order release pattern emerged in the pH 1.2 medium within 0-2 h. Press-coated tablets incorporating CH matrix with HPCMP coated (CH-HPCMP), also containing 20 mg CH per tablet, exhibited diverse drug release kinetics. These tablets showed Korsmeyer-Peppas, zero-order, and first-order kinetics in pH 1.2, 5.8, and 7.4, respectively. The study suggests that a Press-coated tablet incorporating CH-HPMCP is suitable as the candidate for sustained-release formulations. The observed versatility in release kinetics across varying pH environments underscores the potential adaptability of these formulations in addressing diverse therapeutic needs.

Abstract

Tengger is one of the tribes in East Java Province, Indonesia practising traditional medicine by using mantras and medicinal plants. A disease with a high incidence rate and widely treated with medicinal plants in Indonesia, including in Tosari District, Pasuruan Regency, is diarrhoea. To conserve traditional medicine, mainly the utilization of medicinal plants as anti-diarrhoea agents, it is necessary to develop a database that keeps up with technological advances. The study aimed to determine medicinal plants utilization for antidiarrheal remedies by the Tengger tribe in four villages of Tosari District, Pasuruan Regency, namely Wonokitri, Tosari, Ngadiwono, and Podokoyo. The study employed the snowball sampling method, which involved conducting semi-structured interviews. The result showed nine medicinal plants for traditional antidiarrheal remedies, with Musaceae (23%) as the most widely used plant family. Most informants used immature plant (56.25%) and fruits (89.58%). In addition, most plants were administered orally (98%) without specific compounding methods (76%). The value of Factor of the informant's consensus (Fic) of plants used for diarrhoea was 0.74. The highest Fidelity Level (FL) and Choice Value (CV) were obtained from Elaeocarpus longifolius Blume at 69% and 2.4, respectively. Based on the findings of the study, E. longifolius has the potential to be further investigated for development in antidiarrheal treatment.

Abstract

Unsaturated fatty acids in avocado oil can help reduce erythema brought on by prolonged UV-B exposure. The effectivity of sunscreen absorption into the skin will be enhanced by the use of isopropyl myristate (IPM) in nanoemulsion. The purpose of this study was to determine the physical characteristics and sunscreen effectiveness of avocado oil nanoemulsion (AVN) modified with IPM. 1% (FI), 3% (FII), and 5% (FIII) IPM variation were used to make AVN with 5% oil. The AVN were tested for physical characteristics such as organoleptic, pH, viscosity, rheology, particle size and polydispersity index (PI). The products were also tested for sunscreen effectivity by in vitro and Minimum Erythemal Dose (MED) method. The data obtained were analyzed statistically. The results showed that the AVN was pale yellow and clear with transmittance percentage were 96%. The rheogram showed that the products were newtonian. The pH values range were from 6.62 to 6.66; viscosity 1.65-1.84 dPa.s; particle size < 17 nm, zeta potential was in range of -30,54±1,72 to -37,85±3,11 and PI < 0.5 for all formula. In vitro SPF values were 16.43 ± 4.50 (FI), 16.27 ± 4.20 (FII) and 17.88 ± 3.20 (FIII) (p >0.05), and categorized as ultra protection. MED value were 12.28 ± 1.34 (FI); 12.51 ± 1.68 (FII); and 13.22 ± 1.84 (FIII) (p< 0.05) and categorized as maximum protection. Isopropyl myristate increased the sunscreen product's MED value without changing its physical characteristics.
