Abstract

Background: Chlorophyll has a chemical structure similar to hemoglobin, it's just different on the central ion. Anemia is a disease in which the blood contains less hemoglobin than normal. This study aims to prove that chlorophyll can increase levels of hemoglobin and to determine whether the increase in dose of chlorophyll may increase hemoglobin. Methods: This was an experimental laboratory study with pretest and posttest control group design. Samples were female white rats, 2 to 3 months old, weighing approximately 200 grams. Thirty five samples were taken by incidental sampling and divided randomly into 5 groups, each group consisted of 7 rats. The control group was administered distilled water, in contrast the treatment group I (KPI) and II (KPII), each was treated 0.6 mg and 1.2 mg of chlorophyll once a day, while treatment group III (KPIII) and IV (KPIV), each was treated 0.6 mg and 1.2 mg of chlorophyll twice a day, respectivelly. This treatment was done for 14 days. Before acclimatization, 3 ml of rats blood was drawn from retro orbital vein. One week later, the rats blood was taken again for pretest purposes. On the day 15th, rats blood was taken again in the same way for the purposes of the posttest. Data were analyzed by Friedman test and Post Hoc Multiple Comparison (Wilcoxon) (? = 0.05). Results: Hemoglobin levels ot rats significantly increased in the chlorophyll-treated groups than in the group of no treated one. Friedman test showed significant differences between the groups treated chlorophyll and the group no treated one with p = 0.000 (p <0.05). Wilcoxon test showed no significant difference between KPI-KPII, KPI-KPIII, KPI-KPIV, KPII-KPIII, KPII-KPIV, KPIII-KPIV the value of P> 0.05 (p <0.05). Conclusion: Chlorophyll increases hemoglobin levels significantly, but increasing the dose does not provide significantly increased hemoglobin. Keywords: chlorophyll, hemoglobin, anemia

Abstract

Introduction : Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is now becoming global public health problem. Meanwhile, new antibiotics development rate is limited. Duttaphrynus melanostictuss skin secretion was known to have antibacterial effect against some gram negative and gram positive bacterias, but cannot inhibit MRSA. This study aimed to investigate whether there is any antibacterial effects from skins and gastric mucosas extract of Duttaphrynus melanostictus against MRSA isolated from RSUD Dr. Moewardi. Methods : Antibacterial effect was tested with disc diffusion method. The extracted specimens were dorsal skin, ventral skin, and gastric mucosa. Each groups were divided into three category : 25.00 % concentration of extract, 2.50 % concentration of extract, and 1.25 % concentration of extract. Extracts were tested against MRSA from RSUD Dr. Moewardi and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 as control. Clear zone diameter of each groups was compared with 10.00% , 1.00%, and 0.50% acetic acid and analyzed with nonparametric Mann Whitney test (? = 0.05). Results : Average of clear zone diameter from skins extract and gastric mucosas extract against MRSA from concentration 25.00%, 2.50%, 1.25% was : ventral (35.83 0.24 mm; 12.00 0.16 mm; 7.08 0.10 mm), dorsal (19.00 0.41 mm; 7.40 0.11 mm; 7.20 0.04 mm),and gastric mucosa (19.01 0.41 mm; 6.08 0.10 mm; 6.90 0.07mm). Mann Whitney test of antibacterial effect between extract and acetic acid showed ventral skins extract from all groups was significantly different with p = 0.020 (25.00 % ventral skins extract compared with 10.00 % acetic acid), p = 0.020 (2.50 % ventral skins extract compared with 1.00% acetic acid) and p = 0.019 (1.25% ventral skins extract compared with 0.50% acetic acid). Meanwhile, dorsals skin extract was significantly different in concentration 2.50% (p = 0.021) and 1.25% (p = 0.019). Gastric mucosas extract was significantly different in concentration 1.25% (p= 0.019). No difference of antibacterial effect from extract against both MRSA and MSSA (p = 0.974). Conclusion: Ventral skin extract from Duttaphrynus melanostictus had the most excellent antibacterial effects and was able to inhibit the growth of MRSA.

Abstract

Background:HIV infection on human can get inhibition from intrinsic factor. Human can produce antivirus protein which is encoded by APOBEC3 gene. APOBEC3B (A3B) is one of APOBEC3 protein, which cannot be degradated by HIV vif protein. Therefore A3B protein is a potent inhibitor of HIV replication. But, A3B gene can get a deletion, which can decrease its effect in inhibiting HIV infection.The aim of this study was to find correlation between CD4 cells count in A3B gene deletion-positive respondents and A3B gene deletion-negative respondents. Methods: There were 51 HIV patients in Dr. Moewardi General Hospital Surakarta on November 2011, which were included as our respondents. We take respondentss blood and were isolated their DNA. Then, we run in PCR with deletion primer (Deletion_F dan Deletion_R) to detect if there was a deletion in A3B gene sequence. We run electrophoresis in 1% agarose gel with Loading Quick ?X174/HaeIII 72-1353bp as a marker. Then, we visualized the gel on Gel Documentation and was interpreted. Data of A3B gene deletion, respondentss description, HIV RNA detection, and CD4 cell count were analysed with Chi Square. Results:About 36 respondents (70.6%) were positive for deletion in A3B gene. Four of them were positive for HIV RNA detection. The average of CD4 cells count in respondents, who were positive for A3B gene deletion, was 426.86 407.4 cells/l and the others were 496.93 573.0 cells/l (p = 0.782). There were no correlation (p > 0.050) between A3B gene deletion in female respondents and CD4 cells count. A3B gene deletion was more likely to be found in female respondents (OR = 2.286; 95% CI : 0.669 7.808). Conclusions:There were no differences between the average of CD4 cell counts in A3B gene deletion-positive respondents and A3B gene deletion-negative respondents. Keywords:Polymorphism, Deletion, APOBEC3B, HIV

Abstract

Introduction: Diarrhea is one of major problem in the world. There are about 2 billion cases of diarrhea with a mortality rate of 1.5 million per year in the world. Diarrhea is the first cause of death in infants and toddler, while in all age groups is the fourth leading cause of death in Indonesia. One of the pathogenesis of diarrhea is an increase of intestinal motility. Leaves of soursop (Annona muricata Linn.) contains tannins, flavonoids and steroids which effect of intestinal antimotility. This study aims to prove that the ethanol extract of soursop leaves may inhibit intestinal motility in mice induced by oleum ricini. Methods: This study was a laboratory experimental with posttest only controlled group design. Samples were 30 Swiss Webster male mice, aged 2-3 months, and weight 20 g. The samples were divided into 5 groups, namely Negative Control Group (KKN), Positive Control Group (KKP), Treatment I Group (KP1), Treatment II Group (KP2), and Treatment III Group (KP3) were respectively given distilled water; loperamide HCl; ethanol extract of soursop leaves with dose of 5.6 mg/20 g BW; dose of 11.2 mg/20 g BW; and dose of 22.4 mg/20 g BW. After 60 minutes, all of mice were given oleum ricini and it was waited until 45 minutes. Then all of mice were given 10.0% activated carbon suspension in 3.0% pulvis gummi arabicum and left for 20 minutes. Furthermore, the mice were sacrificed by spinal dislocation and their intestines were removed. Length of intestine through by activated carbon marker was measured and compared to the length of intestine entirely. Data were analyzed by One Way ANOVA and Post Hoc Multiple Comparisons LSD (? = 0.05). Results: One Way ANOVA test results showed significant differences between the five groups with p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). The test results Post Hoc Multiple Comparisons LSD showed significant differences (p < 0.05) between KKN and KKP (p = 0.000), KKN and KP2 (p = 0.000), KKN and KP3 (p = 0.000); whereas there is no significant difference (p > 0.05) between KKP and KP3 (p = 0.810). Conclusion: The ethanol extract of soursop (Annona muricata Linn.) leaves can inhibit intestinal motility in mice (Mus musculus) induced by oleum ricini. Keywords: soursop leaves, oleum ricini, intestinal motility

Abstract

Background: Propolis is composed of several kinds of biological and pharmacological components that can work as immunomodulator, anti-tumor, anti-inflammation and antioxidants. This is mainly due to its chemical composition, one of which is Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE). The amount and composition of its chemical components are mainly affected by several factors, some of which are the type of plant vegetation, geographical position, solvent, bees, seasonal factor, and weather. This leads to the different composition of chemical component among different brands of propolis. The same phenomenon happens in Surakarta. This research aimed to reveal either or not the different of CAPE level exist among different brand of propolis found in Surakartas market. Methods: This research was an observational analysis using purposive sampling method. Samples were six different brands of propolis found in Surakartas market. The samples were divided into 6 groups which were P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 and P6. Each group was measured five times. The measurement of CAPE level of each sample was done using UV Vis spectrophotometer with wave length of 700 nm using Prussian Blue method. Data analysis was done using one way Anova statistical test with SPSS 17.00 for Windows program. Results: The average level of CAPE found in propolis samples were P1 =11.5310.078 g/ml; P2 =5.4380.106 g/ml; P3 =12.5410.052 g/ml; P4 =9.0360.081 g/ml; P5 =10.5930.043 g/ml; and P6 =10.3660.133 g/ml with p value is below 0.001 (p < 0.001). Conclusions: There was a difference of CAPE level among propolis found in the market area of Surakarta. Keywords: CAPE, Propolis
