Abstract

Background: HBV replicates its DNA genome through reverse transcription from RNA intermediate. It is vulnerable to a high number of mutations during such reverse transcription which are frequently found in core promoter and precore/core regions. This study was aimed to identify genetic variation of HBV core promoter and precore/core regions of 09IDSKAB-3 isolate. Methods: DNA extraction was performed on 09IDSKAB-3 blood sample that was taken from Man Sex with Man Community. Core promoter and precore/core regions were determined by PCR using KL-28 and KL-6 primers and direct sequencing of the corresponding region. Molecular analysis was performed using MEGA 4.0. Results: Based on BLAST result, 09IDSKAB-3 HBV isolate had the highest similarity to isolate AP011085 from DKI Jakarta. Genetic variations A1726C in core promoter, and T1860C, C1877T, G1957C in precore/core region were found in 09IDSKAB-3 isolate. Conclusions: 09IDSKAB-3 HBV isolate was classified into genotype B and subgenotype B3 based on core promoter and precore/core region. The genetic variations found in this isolate may have influence to the replication efficiency and HBeAg/HBcAg production, therefore need further study. Keywords: hepatitis B virus, molecular analysis, core promoter region, precore/core region

Abstract

Background : The increasing use of nephrotoxic drugs has increased the incidence of renal diseases. Research on herbs with potential nephroprotective effects is needed to offer adjuvant therapy for renal diseases. Mangosteen peel contains gamma-mangostin and antioxidant which can prevent renal damages. Methods : This research was a laboratory experiment with pre and post-test control group design. Subjects were 30 white, male, Wistar-strain rats (Rattus norvegicus), aged 2-3 months and weighed 150-230 grams. Subjects were randomly divided into 5 groups. Negative control group was treated nothing, while normal control group was treated 0.5% NaCMC. Treatment group 1, 2 and 3 were treated with mangosteen peel extract at dose 62.5 mg/kg-BW, 125 mg/kg-BW and 250 mg/kg-BW, respectively. The treatment was done for 14 days. In the last 7 days, the negative control group and the treatment groups 1, 2, and 3 were induced by gentamicin 100 mg/kg-BW. Urine samples of the subjects were collected before and after treatment to measure proteinuria levels. Data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney tests (? = 0.05) using SPSS 16.0 for Windows. Results : Result of Kruskal-Wallis test showed that proteinuria levels differed significantly across five groups (p = 0.008). The Mann-Whitney tests showed statistically significant differences between the negative control group and the other 4 groups (p < 0.05). No significant difference was found between the normal control group and the treatment groups 1, 2, and 3 (p > 0.05). Conclusion : Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) peel extract could prevent the increase of proteinuria levels in white rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced gentamicin. Keywords : Mangosteen Peel Extract, Proteinuria Level, Gentamicin

Introduction:Hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases that cause 56% of ischemic heart disease. The increasing prevalence of degenerative diseases raise the trend of people to seek treatment that is less expensive and easier to obtain, such as garlic extracts (Allium sativum) and olive oil (Olea euopaea). This study aimed to determine the effect of the combination of garlic extracts and olive oil to decrease blood cholesterol levels. Methods: This study was experimental with pretest and posttest controlled group design, performed at the Laboratory of Pharmacology University of Setia Budi Surakarta. The subjects were 30 male rats (Rattus norvegicus), aged 3 months, weighing less than 200 grams, were divided into 5 groups randomly. All groups received high cholesterol diet 14 days before pretest and 28 days during the treatment period. Group I as a negative control untreated. Group II as a positive control group received simvastatin 0,18 mg, Group III, IV and V received a dose of garlic extract successively 0.08 g, 0.16 g and 0.24 g and 0.45 ml dose of olive oil. The data was analyzed using Kruskal Wallis test, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon. Results: The result showed the decreasing of total cholesterol (p = 0.015) and LDL (p = 0.014) were significant before and after treatment in each treatment group. In the positive control group did show a significant reduction in total cholesterol compared with the treatment group I (p = 0.347), II (p = 0.251), and III (p = 0.347). While the levels of LDL decline in the positive control group and the treatment also did not differ significantly, with the value of the treatment group I (p = 0.347), II (p = 0.465), and III (p = 0.347). Conclusion:Garlic extracts (Allium sativum) and olive oil can lower blood cholesterol levels of white rats (Rattus norvegicus)similar withsimvastatin effect. Keywords: blood cholesterol, garlic extracts, olive oil
