Abstract

Background:The propolis ethanol extract contains flavonoid, terpenoid, Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE), vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E which are potential for being antioxidant to protect the spermatids from the danger of free radical. The aims of this research were to know the effects of propolis ethanol extract on the decreasing number of the mouses spermatids induced by cigarettes smoke and to know the effect of dosage raising level of the propolis ethanol extract towards the research subject. Methods:This research was a laboratory experiment using the posttest only controlled group design. The sampels were 25 Swiss Webster mice (age around 2-3 months and approximately 20 grams of weight). They were classified into 5 groups which consisted of 5 mice in each group. KK group was without any intervention. KI group was only induced by the cigarettes smoke. KP1, KP2 and KP3, all were induced by the cigarettes smoke and in a row, got 5.6 mg (dosage level I), 11.2 mg (dosage level II) and 16.8 mg (dosage level III) of propolis ethanol extract. These interventions were done for two weeks. The decreasing number of spermatids was counted through the inspection under microscope and counting of five chosen rounded-looks seminiferous tubules. The data were analyzed by One-Way ANOVA test and Post Hoc Multiple Comparisons test. Results:The result of One-way ANOVA p = 0.000 (p < ?) showed differences between each research groups. The Post Hoc test of the spermatids number showed significant differences between KK-KI, KK-KP1, KK-KP2, KK-KP3, KI-KP1, KI-KP2, KP1-KP2, KP1-KP3, KP2 -KP3 groups but KI and KP3 wasnt. Conclusions:The propolis ethanolic extract can inhibit the decreasing number of the mouses spermatids which is induced by cigarettes smoke and the raising dosage from 5.6 mg to 11.2 mg is the succeeded dosage to inhibit the decreasing number of the spermatids. Keywords: propolis ethanol extract, spermatid, mouse, cigarettes smoke.

Abstract

Introduction: Urinalysis is an effective and comprehensive urine examination method. Delayed urine examination may affect the urinalysis results, which in turn may have consequences on a patients diagnosis and treatment. This study focuses on the effects of delayed urinalysis on the urine leukocyte counts in patients with urinary tract infection. Methods: This study used a cross sectional design. The research took place at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory of RSUD Dr. Moewardi Hospital in Surakarta, in November 2015. The consecutive sampling method was used to collect 30 urine samples as for analysis. The dependent variable of this study was the urine leukocyte count at 0, 120 and 180 minutes, while the independent variable was the gap time of urinalysis. Urine sample collected from the respondents was divided into three different containers with the same amount of urine and the container was marked (0, 120, 180). The urinalysis was performed according to the order of the mark on each container. This study used Sysmex UX 2000 to count the amount of urine leukocyte. The data, then, were analyzed by the Friedman test. Result: The result showed that there was no significant difference in urine leukocytes counts in delayed urinalysis, shown by the statistical calculations using the Friedman test which obtained a p value of 0.122. Urine samples were collected from 17 female respondents (57%) and 13 male respondents (43%). The age of the respondents ranged from 1 to 78 years old. The average pH of the urine samples was 6.2 with an average specific gravity of 1.012. Conclusions: There is no significant difference in urine leukocyte counts in delayed urinalysis up to 180 minute. Keywords: Delayed Urinalysis, Urine Leukocytes, Sysmex UX 2000

Background: Kenikir leaves contain various kind of antioxidants, such as vitamin C, ?-carotene, minerals, and polyphenols which are known to protect kidneys from oxidative stress caused by free radical exposure. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the nephroprotective effect of Kenikir leaf extract toward histological damage of the mice's kidney cells induced by Parasetamol. Methods: This was a laboratory experimental study with the posttest only controlled group design. The samples were 35-Swiss webster male mice, aged 2-3 months, and weight about 20 gram. Samples were divided into five groups randomly. Normal group (KN) was given distilled water and Negative control (KK(-)) was given Parasetamol. Extract dosage of 2.8 mg, 5.6 mg, and 11.2 mg of kenikir leaves were given daily for 14 days to treatment group 1 (KP1), treatmen group 2 (KP2), and treatment group 3 (KP3), respectively. A toxic dosage of Parasetamol as much as 5.07 mg, was given to negative control group and treatment groups on day 12th, 13th, and 14th. On day 15th , mice were sacrificed by neck dislocation. The kidneys were taken for histological preparation and stained with HE. The histological damage was assessed based on quantifying the pyknosis, karyorrhexis, and karyolysis on 50 proximal tubuli of epithelial cells. The data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA test (? = 0.05) and Post Hoc Multiple Comparisons test (? = 0.05). Results: The most damaged cells were found in KK(-) and the least in KN. The significant difference was observed among groups (One-way ANOVA test p = 0.000). The significant difference was observed between groups (Post Hoc test p = 0.000). They were KN-KK(-), KN-KP1, KN-KP2, KN-KP3, KK(-)-KP1, KK(-)-KP2, KK(-)-KP3, KP1-KP2, KP1-KP3, and KP2-KP3. Conclusions: Ethanol extract of Kenikir leaves can prevent the histological damage of the mice's kidney cell induced by Parasetamol. The increasing dose of the extract is followed by the increase of protective effect. Keywords: Kenikir leaves, histological damage, mice's kidney, Parasetamol
