Abstract

Introduction: Dengue virus is a type of virus that causes various reactions, from asymptomatic infection to harmful manifestations, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Currently, the treatments of DHF cases have been limited to symptomatic and supportive therapies only. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new strategies in facing these cases. One of them is by using natural ingredients with antiviral potential. The aim of this study is to understand the antiviral effects of the ethanol extract of red ginger rhizome (Zingiber officinale Linn var. rubrum) against dengue virus in vitro. Methods : The subject of this research was Dengue virus serotype 2 strain New guinea C (DENV-2 NGC) which was infected into Huh-7 cell line. The research was divided into 2 parts. The first was inhibition test of the extract against DENV-2 which was assessed by average of infectivity percentage with Focus Forming Unit assay method. The second was toxicity test of the extract in Huh 7 cells which was assessed by average of viability percentage by MTT assay method. The herb extract effective as a Dengue antivirus was defined by average infectivity percentage of ? 20% and average viability percentage of > 50%. Results: Ethanolic extract of Red Ginger rhizome (Zingiber officinale Linn var. Rubrum) with concentration 80, 40, 20, 10, 5, 2.5 g/ml had average percentage of infectivity respectively: 9.2% ; 25.3% ; 32.3% ;47.5% ; 66.6% ; 73.4%. While the average percentage of viability were: 92.2% ; 94.3% ; 96.7 % ; 99.6% ; 102.7% ; 105.9%. Conclusions: Ethanolic extract of rhizome Red Ginger (Zingiber officinale Linn var. Rubrum) is not effective in inhibiting the replication of dengue virus serotype DENV-2 in vitro because it has the average infectivity percentage ? 20 and has no toxic effects on cells Huh-7 because it has the average viability percentage > 50. Key Words: Zingiber officinale Linn var. rubrum, Dengue virus, DENV-2, Huh-7 cell line.

Abstract

Background: Torque Teno Virus ( TTV ) is the first circular single-stranded DNA virus that is reported to infect humans. TTV infection has been implicated in the development of various diseases . However, it is still unclear how the mechanisms of TTV in the pathogenesis of various diseases. TTV infection was found not only in people with illness, but also found in general population with good health. Methods: There were 30 male sex workers (MSW) in Surakarta, which were included as our respondents. We took respondences bloos and isolated its DNA, in addition respondents underwent to face-to-face interview and filled questionnaire. Then, we ran polymerase chain reaction (PCR) nested with primer (NG059/NG063 and NG061/NG063) to detect N22 sequence of TTV. We ran electrophoresis in 2% agarose gel with Loading Quick ?X174/HaeIII 72-1353bp as a marker. Then, we visualized the gel on Gel Documentation and interpretated. Data of TTV infection, respondents description, risk factors of TTV, and results of HIV and HCV infection from previous study were analyzed using Chi Square. Results: About 7 (7/30, 23.3%) respondents were infected by TTV. There was any correlation (p < 0.050) between TTV infection and having piercing (p = 0.029). However, there was no correlation (p > 0.050) between TTV infection and performed unprotected vaginal sex (p = 0.481), unprotected anal sex (p = 0.269), injecting drug users (p = 0.065), and having a tattoo (p = 0.925). Respondents having piercing (Odds ratio [OR] = 7.083; 95% Confidence Interval [CI] : 1.075 46.678) and performed unprotected vaginal sex (OR = 1.923; 95% CI : 0.307 12.053) were more likely to be infected with TTV. About 2 (2/3, 66.7%) respondents who infected with HIV and 2 (2/7, 28.6%) respondents who infected with HCV were also infected with TTV. Respondents who infected by HIV (OR = 8.800; 95% CI : 0.661 117.234) and HCV (OR = 1.440; 95% CI : 0.212 9.782) were more likely to be infected with TTV. Conclusion: Prevalence of TTV infection among MSW in Surakarta is lower than other community in Indonesia. Further research is needed to determine status of TTV infection among MSW community and other high-risk community, and to find out the certain risk factors of TTV infection. Keywords: TTV, Male Sex Workers (MSW), Surakarta

Abstract

Introduction: Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus are some of bacteria that are often found in blood specimen. Unlike Staphylococcus aureus, which is true pathogen, Staphylococcus epidermidis is known as opportunistic bacteria which actually are normal flora of human skin. Therefore, it is necessary to have comparative data that can determine whether Staphylococcus epidermidis are cause of infection or just colonization. The purpose of this research was to compare clinical profile of patients with Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis found in blood specimen. Methods: This study was a descriptive research using clinical epidemiology approach. The objects of the research were patients medical records which had been identified by blood culture with positive result of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus on 2014-July 2015. Sampling was held during November and December 2015 at Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta. Sampling was done and 65 people taken from the population. The data were analyzed with frequency odds ratio. Results: During January 2014 - July 2015, it was found that 36 subjects of patients with positive Staphylococcus epidermidis (21 men, 15 women) and 29 subjects of patients with positive Staphylococcus aureus (11 men, 18 women). Staphylococcus epidermidis was mostly found in newborns dan infants, while Staphylococcus aureus was mostly found in adults and elders. The result of white blood count and neutrophil percentage showed that patients with positive Staphylococcus aureus on their blood specimen have higher value than Staphylococcus epidermidis. Vital sign showed higher mean value of body temperature on patients with positive Staphylococcus aureus on their blood specimen than Staphylococcus epidermidis. Conclusion: There were differences in the increase of body temperature, number of leukocytes, and percentage of neutrophils in patients profile who were exposed to Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis on blood specimens at Dr. Moewardi Hospital.

Abstract

Background: The reused palm oil is usually used by people to cook especially for cooking food. In the society the palm oil is usually used by deep frying method. This methode usually destroys the chemical chain in the palm oil.As results from this deep frying methode many toxic and free radical are formed, this can be dangerous for human body. Soy bean (Glycine max) one of food that contains fitoestrogen and the descents isoflavon. The isoflavone will protect human body from free radicals and has antiinflammatory actitivity. Method: This study was an experimental laboratory using the posttest only controlled group design. The sample used 27 mice, 8-10 weeks old and weights 20 g. Samples were divided into 4 groups. Group of KKand KP1, in order, was only given distilled water and 0.06 ml of reused palm oil in addition to distilled waterfor 14 days. whilegroup of KP2 and KP3 was respectively given soy bean powder at a dose of 5.6 mg and 11.2 mg per 20 g of body weight each of mice alongside with 0.06 ml of reused palm oil and distilled water for 14 days. On 15th day, samples were sacrificed to be made preparations of left and right kidney by methode of parafin block and HE staining. The number of tubule proximal cell was calculated based on quantifying of pyknosis, karyorrhexis, and karyolysis. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal Walis test (? = 0.05) and continued with Mann-Whitney test (? = 0.05). Result: : The Kruskal Wallis test showed that there was significant difference between the four groups. Mann-Whitney test showed there was significant difference between groups of KK-KP1, KK-KP2, KK-KP3, KP1-KP2, KP1-KP3, and KP2-KP3. Conclusion: Soy bean (Glycine max.) can prevent the renal cell damage of mice which are induced by reused palm oil and the increase of soy bean dosage can increase protection effect to renal cell damage of mice which are induced by reused palm oil. Keywords: soy bean, reused palm oil, the renal cell damage
