Abstract

Background: Mechanical ventilator is a semicritical equipment that often contacts with mucous membrane or skin. The use of mechanical ventilator for long term can cause some complication, one of them is Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) which is the common nosocomial infection in ICU. Sterilization and disinfection of mechanical ventilator decrease microorganism infection. Every hospital has their own sterilization and disinfection procedure of mechanical ventilator. This research aims to examine the effectiveness of sterilization and disinfection of mechanical ventilator at RSUD Dr. Moewardi. Method: This was an analytic observational study using cross sectional design. Samples were taken from swab and circuit rinse of mechanical ventilator tube after sterilization and disinfection with storage and without storage process. A total of 30 samples were sampled for each tube and circuit based on the rule of thumb with consecutive sampling technique. Data were analyzed descriptively and tested using Chi Square test. Result: There were 30 samples from circuit rinse which were negative from contamination. In tube swab, there were 8 samples positive from contamination. In 15 samples of tube swab without storage process, there were 2 positive samples and 13 negative samples from contamination. In 15 samples of tube swab with storage process, there were 6 positive samples and 9 negative samples from contamination. The microorganisms of contaminants were Bacillus sp, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The statistical analyses showed no significant relationship between both storage processes either sterilization or disinfection of mechanical ventilator and microorganism contamination (p = 0.226). Conclusion: Sterilization and disinfection of ventilator circuit at RSUD Dr. Moewardi are effective. While sterilization and disinfection of mechanical ventilator are not yet effective. There is not a significant relationship between storage and the effectiveness of either sterilization or disinfection of mechanical ventilator.

Abstract

Background:Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) contains many antioxidant phytochemicals such as vitamin C, anthocyanins and ellagic acid that may exhibit significant protection of kidney cells from free radicals. In present study, Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) fruit juice was evaluated for its nephroprotector effect on mice renal damage induced by Rhodamine B. Methods:This research was an experimental laboratory study with the posttest only controlled group design. Samples were 28 male mice, Swiss webster type, 2-3 months old and 20 g of each weight. Samples were divided into 4 groups of 7 mice each. This research used consecutive sampling. Strawberry juice was given for 16 days in a row, while Rhodamine B (0.2 ml/20 gr of mice body weight) was given on 10th to 16th day. Negative Control Group (KK-) was given distilled water only. Positive Control Group (KK+) was given Rhodamine B. First Treatmennt Group (KP1) and Second Treatment Group (KP2) were given 0.4 ml and 0.8 ml of Strawberry fruit juice per 20 gr of mice body weight and Rhodamine B. On the 17th day, mice were sacrificed by neck dislocation. After that, the kidney was dissected out and made for preparation with paraffin block method and stained with Hematoxilin Eosin (HE). The score of renal cells damage was determined by pyknosis, karyorrhexis, and karyolysis. The data were analyzed with One-Way ANOVA test (? = 0.05) and Least Significant Differences (LSD) test (? = 0.05). Results:The result of One-Way ANOVA test showed that there was a significant difference in score of renal cells (p < 0.05). LSD test showed a significant difference in score of renal cells (p < 0.05) across all pair groups. Conclusions:Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) fruit juice showed nephroprotector effect against renal cell histological damage in mice induced by Rhodamine B.

Abstract

Introduction: DPP-4 inhibitor is a new diabetic drug for patients with type 2 diabetes who do not achieve normal blood glucose levels using standard drugs such as metformin, sulfonylurea, meglitinide, thiazolidinedione, and ?-glucosidase inhibitor. Pharmacologically, DPP-4 inhibitor increases GLP-1 and GIP blood levels, leading to increase of insulin secretion. So far, Indonesian herbal plants have been used as an alternative therapy for diabetes but their active compounds have been unknown. The aim of this study was to identify phytochemicals derived from Indonesian herbal plants with DPP-4 inhibitor activity. Methods: This study was a bioinformatic study with a molecular docking method. Three-dimensional structure of DPP-4 was downloaded from Protein Data Bank with access code PDB 3F8S. Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, was used as a standard ligand and was obtained from ZINC database with access code ZINC22007143. HerbalDB and Pubchem databases were used to search three-dimensional structures of Indonesian phytochemicals. Before running molecular docking, all phytochemicals were selected using Lipinskis rule of five criteria. Molecular docking of these phytochemicals with DPP-4 was performed three times using Autodock Vina 1.1.2. Results of molecular docking were visualized using PyMol 1.7 and Chimera 1.9. Result: 422 Indonesian phytochemicals were docked with DPP-4. A lower binding affinity was observed in oxonantenine, compared with sitagliptin (-8.3 vs -8.5 kcal/mol respectively). In addition, oxonantenine has as same as binding sites with sitagliptin (Glu 205 and Glu 206). Oxonantenine interacts with DPP-4 at Tyr 547 as third residue, while third residue interaction of sitagliptin and DPP-4 was at Tyr 662. Oxonantenine was found in Annona reticulata. Conclusions: Oxonantenine which is an Indonesian phytochemicals may computationally become a candidate of DPP-4 inhibitor. In vitro study is needed to verify whether or not oxonantenine can inhibit DPP-4. Keywords: DPP-4, type 2 diabetes, molecular docking, oxonantenine.

Abstract

Background: Colorectal adenocarcinoma is the third most diagnosed neoplasm in the world. Many approaches have been taken for therapy, especially targeted therapy. However, the resistance event still occurs due to constitutive activation of intracellular signaling. In the other hand, pineapple fruit [Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.] has bromelain enzyme that can specifically influence intracellular signaling and not only lead to inhibit proliferation but also lead apoptosis induction in neoplasm cell. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effect of pineapple fruit aqueous extract to caspase-3 expression and DNA fragmentation of apoptosis process in WiDr colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. Methods: This research was an experimental laboratory study with the post test only control group design. The samples of this research were WiDr colorectal adenocarcinoma cells divided into 6 groups: Negative control group, Positive control group with doxorubicin 5 ?g/ml and four Treatment groups with 270 ?g/ml, 202.5 ?g/ml, 135 ?g/ml and 67.5 ?g/ml of extract concentration, each. The samples were incubated for 48 hours in 37oC and 5% CO2. The caspase-3 expression was determined by cytologic score of samples stained with caspase-3 antihuman antibody. The DNA fragmentation was determined by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. The cytologic score was analyzed by one way ANOVA test and LSD test. Result: The result showed that there was significant difference between Positive control group and the other groups (p=0.000), but there wasnt significant difference between the Negative control group and the Treatment groups (p>0.05). The result from electrophoresis showed that there wasnt DNA fragmentation in WiDr colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. Conclusion: The pineapple fruit aqueous extract did not increase caspase-3 expression and did not lead DNA fragmentation to WiDr colorectal adenocarcinoma cells for 48 hours of treatment. Keywords: pineapple fruit aqueous extract, WiDr colorectal adenocarcinoma cell, caspase-3 expression, DNA fragmentation

Abstract

Introduction: Drug Induced Liver Injury (DILI) is a liver injury caused by drug toxicity. About 41 out of 100.000 people suffer liver damage due to DILI. Most of this injury caused by excessive use of paracetamol. Meniran (Phyllanthus niruri Linn.) contains antioxidants that can protect liver from damage. The aim of this research was to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of meniran extract on histological damage in liver cells induced by paracetamol. Methods: This was laboratory experimental research with post test only controlled group design. This research was conducted in Histology Laboratory FK UNS. Samples were 30 mice obtained by purposive sampling which characteristics were Swiss webster type, male, 2-3 months old, 20 gr of each weight. Samples divided randomly into 5 groups, each group has six mice. The normal group (KN) was given distilled water only. The negative control group (KK (-)) was given paracetamol toxic dose only. The positive control group (KK (+)) was given Curcuma and paracetamol toxic dose. A gradual dose (2.8 mg and 5.6 mg) of meniran extract was given daily to the first treatment group (KP 1) and second treatment group (KP 2) for 14 days respectively and added with paracetamol toxic dose (5 mg) on day 8th to 14th orally. On day 15th, mice were sacrificed and liver were taken for preparation with HE staining. Liver cells damage was identified by counting nucleus with pyknosis, karryorhexis, and karyolysis from 100 liver cells. Data was analyzed using One-Way ANOVA and Post Hoc Multiple Comparisons-LSD (? = 0.05). Results: One-Way ANOVA showed that there was a significant difference between 5 groups (p < 0.05). Post Hoc Multiple Comparisons-LSD showed that there were significant differences (p < 0.05) between KN-KK (-), KN-KK (+), KN-KP 1, KN-KP 2, KK (-)-KK (+). KK (-)-KP 1, KK (-)-KP 2, KK (+)-KP 1, KP 1-KP 2, but there was not significant difference between KK (+)-KP 2 (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Meniran extract has hepatoprotective effect on histological structure damage of mices liver cells induced by paracetamol in a dose dependent manner.
