Abstract

Indonesia ranks 6th with the highest number of online gamers in Asia and 12th in the world gaming market. When online gamers become addicted, they lose the ability to halt or control their gaming behavior, leading to problematic behavior. Decision-making processes at the cognitive level are considered relevant in various addictive behaviors, including inappropriate gaming behavior. Exploratory research can be conducted using a qualitative technique, with data collected through in-depth interviews, to acquire an in-depth understanding of the comparison of the interaction process of each cognitive component in decision-making to play online games. This research was conducted in Bandung from December 2021 to December 2022. Steps are needed to develop guidelines that explore the functioning of affective and cognitive responses (coping, cognitive and affective bias, and craving and urge) and executive and inhibitory control. The guideline used a cognitive theoretical framework in addictive behavior, namely the I-PACE model, with a multidimensional theoretical basis. Through theoretical deepening, it was derived as a guideline divided into three main aspects, four sub-aspects, 32 main questions, and 36 probing questions.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is transmitted from human to human and primarily via the respiratory route; hence, wearing a mask is the first step in preventing the spread of COVID-19. Behind the benefits of these masks are adverse consequences on the skin, such as lesions and acne. This study aims to ascertain the relationship between students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the use of masks on the occurrence of maskne. This research is a cross-sectional analytic observational study. The research subjects were 100 students from the Universitas Mataram's 2018 class, from November 2020 to January 2022, using a stratified random sampling technique—data collection from primary data via a Google Form. Data analysis was carried out by testing the lambda hypothesis. In this study, 38% (n=38) of the respondents reported maskne, while 62% (n=62) reported not maskne. Among the respondents who reported not maskne, the majority mentioned having good knowledge, positive attitudes, and good practice. The lambda hypothesis analysis indicates significant correlations between students' knowledge (p=0.004), attitudes (p=0.001), and practices (p=0.006) regarding mask usage and the occurrence of maskne. A relationship exists between students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding mask usage and maskne occurrences.

Abstract

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a non-communicable disease that is the main cause of death and loss of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) globally. Patients can experience various complications that affect the severity of the disease. Various factors, especially self-management behavior, can influence the severity of CAD patients. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-management behavior and the severity of CAD in Dr. Zainoel Abidin Regional General Hospital Banda Aceh. This study used a cross-sectional design from March 28 to May 19, 2023. The sample consisted of 221 CHD patients who had undergone coronary angiography, were selected using purposive sampling, and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was collected through guided interviews using the self-management scale (CSMS) and syntax score. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Data analysis showed a significant relationship between self-management behavior and the severity of CAD. Daily life management (p=0.000, OR=5.334), disease management (p=0.000, OR=2.633), and emotional management (p=0.000, OR=2.047) were associated with the severity of CAD. Logistic regression indicated that daily life management was the most dominant factor associated with the severity of CAD (OR=5.334). Good daily life, disease, and emotional management can help reduce the risk of complications and improve the prognosis of CAD patients. Self-management behavior, particularly daily life management, is significantly related to the severity of CAD in Dr. Zainoel Abidin Regional General Hospital patients.

Abstract

High levels of fat in the blood are a risk factor for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis liver disease. Indonesian medicinal plants that can decrease blood fat levels are turmeric and mangosteen peel. One of the mechanisms of blood fat-lowering drugs is to increase the expression of the PPARα gene. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of turmeric and mangosteen peel on the expression of the PPARα gene in the rat liver induced by a high-fat diet. This research was conducted at Maranatha Biomedical Research Laboratory in February–October 2021, using male Wistar rats that were divided into 5 groups (n=5): negative control groups (no treatment), positive control groups (high-fat diet), turmeric, mangosteen, and fenofibrate groups, that was given high-fat diet continued by ethanol extract of turmeric, ethanol extract of mangosteen peel, and fenofibrate. At the end of the study, the animals were terminated, and the liver was extracted for RNA extraction and semi-quantitative PCR. The results showed that there was an increase in PPARα gene expression in the turmeric group and fenofibrate group, which were significantly different from the positive control group that received a high-fat diet (p<0.05) and between the fenofibrate group compared to negative controls that received standard chow diet (p<0.05). In conclusion, turmeric and fenofibrate are suggested to increase the expression of the PPARα gene in the liver induced by a high-fat diet.

Abstract

The positive impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is that hospital laboratory services are excellent when other services are declining. Aside from molecular biology laboratory (polymerase chain reaction, PCR) services for COVID-19 diagnostics, public demand has dramatically increased. It is a retrospective descriptive study that uses data on the total number and types of results of laboratory examination orders that have been verified from the laboratory information system of a hospital from 2018 to 2022. Data analysis is presented in the frequency of the number and type of results of laboratory examination orders and differences in requests for laboratory services before and during the pandemic since the government established it on March 8, 2020. The total number of laboratory requests between January 2018 and December 2022 was 1,943,539 services. The highest increase in laboratory examination services was in molecular biology (98.4%). As the need for community services increases for the PCR severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) examination, which is used in addition to diagnosing confirmed COVID-19 patients, it is also necessary for the community to conduct tracing if a family member has a COVID infection or travel requirements and follow-up for hospital employee exit tests who contracted COVID-19. In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has positively impacted laboratory performance. There have been changes and an increase in the number and types of laboratory examination services and personal performance and management in laboratories.

Abstract

Dengue surveillance is an important activity to prevent dengue outbreaks. This activity becomes a significant challenge for the region with limited logistic capabilities. Developing a simple mathematical model to predict the possibility of dengue incidence provides a reliable early warning system. This study compared the correlation between vector (adult female Aedes aegypti) and arbovirus detection on a vector to dengue incidence, which generalized linear mixed models tested. The incidence of adult female Aedes aegypti and dengue fever cases were interpolated through third-power inverse distance weighting (IDW). A spatial correlation between female Aedes aegypti incidence and dengue incidence was obtained from polynomial regression. Collection sites were 16 villages in Bandung city, one of the significant dengue endemic areas in January–December 2017. A total of 8,402 mosquitoes of Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, and Culex sp., with 17% belonging to Aedes aegypti as the subject of the dengue virus (DENV) infection test. Data analysis only showed a weak correlation between the numbers of adult female Aedes aegypti and dengue incidence. On the other hand, there is no correlation between positive dengue infection of vector and dengue incidence. This study highlights the importance of constant arbovirus surveillance and integrated surveillance methods on all possible dengue vectors to develop an early warning system for dengue incidence.

Abstract

Perception is a mental process that occurs in humans that will show how we see, hear, feel, give, and feel around us. Patients' positive and negative self-perceptions are internal factors that significantly affect the healing process. Chronic filariasis patients experience a decline in physical condition, which becomes a mental burden for the patients and their families. Patients may experience negative stigma from their family and surrounding community. Some communities still believe in myths, supernatural powers, and magic, and patients suffer illness due to their evil deeds or that they have violated cultural norms that were passed down from generation to generation. How patients perceive themselves, their environment, and their families are rarely studied, though this information is essential to elucidate their needs. Kodi Balaghar subdistrict in the Southwest Sumba regency, East Nusa Tenggara, still has many filariasis cases. This study aimed to know the self-perception of filariasis patients in the Kodi Balaghar subdistrict, Southwest Sumba regency. We have selected ten patients to collect answers regarding self-perception from March to May 2021. The results of our study showed that respondents perceive themselves more negatively to both themselves and their families. We conclude that emotional and spiritual support from family, community, religious leaders, and medical personnel are critical to building self-confidence, life expectancy, enthusiasm, and fighting power to survive and undergo treatment for the disease.

Abstract

Combining chemotherapeutic agents such as doxorubicin with herbal products or other compounds that can enhance cytotoxicity without side effects is required. Thus, we aimed to observe the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin and sesoot (Garcinia picrorrhiza) fruit ethanolic extract (GpKar) on human fibroblast cells, BJ. This study used a post-test-only control randomized group design with n=3 and a number group of 5. The method used in this research is cell number, and viability was measured with (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium assay. Treatments consisted of a combination of doxorubicin (0.02 μg/ml) and GpKar of 66.47 µg/ml (DES1), 132.94 µg/ml (DES2) and 265.89 μg/ml (DES3). The data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA and Duncan post hoc tests. DES3 showed the lowest viability among treatments (89.32%). DES1 and DES2 showed high viability (>90%), 97.93%, and 95.08%, respectively. Thus, the combination of doxorubicin (0.02 μg/ml) and GpKar (66.47 µg/ml) was considered safe for further use in the following assay. In summary, the combination of doxorubicin and GpKar showed high viability in normal fibroblast cells.

Abstract

The growth of micro-organisms that acquire resistance to most commercially available antibiotics is occurring rapidly. Consequently, a pressing necessity exists to identify and detect new antimicrobial substances. This study aimed to analyze the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of nanoemulsion clove extract and grape seed oil. This research was conducted in June 2023 using experimental methods at the Research Laboratory of the Universitas Islam Bandung Pharmaceutical Study Program by developing a nanoemulsion preparation containing clove extract (Syzygium aromaticum L.) and grape seed oil (Vitis vinifera L.). Antioxidant activity was tested using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Antibacterial activity was tested using the agar diffusion method by measuring the growth inhibitory diameter of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans bacteria and divided into four groups formulas based on the addition of clove extract with different concentrations in the nanoemulsion base (FA=0.25%, FB=0.5%, FC=0.75%, and FD=1%) to see the best results. The result shows nanoemulsion preparations have antioxidant properties in the DPPH test. The FA formula has the highest IC50, namely 1,117.56 ppm. The antibacterial activity of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans has an inhibition zone, although it is still in the category of inhibiting bacterial growth, but does not kill growth. The nanoemulsion formulation, comprising clove extract and grape seed oil, has exhibited exceptional antioxidant properties and substantial antimicrobial efficacy against prevalent oral bacterial strains.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is the second leading cause of death from an infectious disease. Indonesia has the highest TB cases in West Java, East Java, and Central Java. Tuberculosis lymphadenitis (TBL) represents about 30–40% of cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The study aimed to study the clinical and histopathological characteristics of TBL patients. The research design in this study used an exploratory, descriptive method. Data was taken from Al Islam Hospital Bandung as medical records from January 2019 to December 2020. The result showed that TBL primarily affects patients aged 6–11 years (28%), male gender (57%), patients not working (25%), and those residing in the East Bandung area (34%). Histopathological appearance showed granulomas of caseous necrosis, epithelioid cells, and Langhan's cells, indicated by types 1, 2, and 3. The most common type was type 1 (47%), which was more widely distributed in the right neck (46%) with size 1–3 cm. In conclusion, the frequency of TBL is higher in boys aged 6–11 years, residents of the East Bandung area, and patients who did not work. Well-formed granuloma of enlarged lymph nodes in the right neck with size 1–3 cm is most commonly found in TBL.
