Abstract

Infection is one of the biggest health problems in Indonesia. Infection can be caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Treatment with antibiotics is the primary choice to manage infections caused by bacteria. Previous research showed that many plants have been tested for their antibacterial activity such as ketepeng cina (Cassia alata) and lidah buaya (Aloe vera). Cassia alata and Aloe vera alkaloids, flavonoids, anthraquinones, saponins, tannins contain similar active compounds as antimicrobials. Based on this, the purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of the combination of methanol extracts of C. alata and A. vera against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa bacteria. The antibacterial activity test was carried out using the Kirby-Bauer method. The single extract of C. alata and A. vera had the greatest antibacterial activity against S. aureus at a concentration of 10 mg/disk with zones of inhibition of 29.5±0.7 mm and 21.5±1.4 mm, respectively. The single antibacterial activity test of both extracts against P. aeruginosa bacteria showed no inhibition zone. The test results showed that the combination of 10 mg/disk C. alata methanol extract and 10 mg/disk Aloe vera could inhibit the growth of S. aureus with an average inhibition zone of 30.75±1.7 mm. However, the lower ratio of both extracts resulted in a likely antagonistic effect against S. aureus. Phytochemical screening tests showed that these two extracts had the same compounds, namely phenolics, flavonoids, anthraquinones. Contact bioautography showed that mainly phenolics, flavonoids, and anthraquinones were responsible in the antibacterial properties.

Abstract

Kersen leaves and Moringa leaves are natural sources of antioxidants that can prevent oxidative damage to the body due to free radicals. The purpose of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity of a single form and a combination of cherry leaf extract and Moringa leaf in fighting free radicals. The antioxidant activity test in this study used the DPPH method (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil). The results showed that ethanol extracts of single forms of cherry leaves and Moringa leaves have very strong antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 8.04 ppm and strong 68.40 ppm. The combination with a ratio of 2:1 obtained the lowest IC50 value, which is 6.35 ppm. It can be concluded that the highest antioxidant activity is found in the combination of ethanol extract of cherry leaves and Moringa leaves in a ratio of 2:1, with IC50 smaller than the single form.

Abstract

A cemetery acts as an active decomposition site and contains bacteria which most likely have antibiotic resistance. However, related data to the phenomenon is limited. This study aimed to compare the diversity of bacteria inside and outside the cemetery and examine bacterial antibiotic resistance. First, samples were collected from three different spots inside and outside the Bonoloyo public cemetery in Surakarta, Central Java. Then, the bacteria were isolated by spread plate method on NA medium and were observed using Gram staining after 48 hours of incubation. Also, bacterial resistance against cefepime, bacitracine, and ampicilin were examined. As the results, bacterial populations inside and outside the cemetery area are 3.4x106 and 4.6x106 CFU/gram, respectively, with a diversity of 38% and 34%, while 28% of isolates are collected from both areas. The result of morphological observation showed that 15 and 21 isolates are respectively round and irregular, white to yellow colour with raised (16 isolates) and flat (19 isolates) elevation. Gram staining showed 48 isolates are coccus and 2 are bacilli, with 23 isolates of Gram negative and 27 isolates of Gram positive. Bacterial isolates showed resistance against cefepime (50%-50%)  and against bacitracine (52%-43%) each from both areas of the cemetery, while resistance against ampicilin was relatively low (33%-21%). The number of bacterial populations and bacterial diversity inside and outside the cemetery area are not significantly different. In fact, the resistance of the soil bacteria population collected from cemetery soil are higher than that collected from soil outside the cemetery.

Abstract

Wound healing is a complex process, delays in wound healing increase the chances of infection, improper healing, and unpleasant scarring. Belimbing wuluh (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) fruit contains various active compounds that are beneficial to health and have the potential to be used as medicinal preparations for treating wounds. In this test, incisions were made on the skin of the mice's back area using a scalpel 1 cm long and 0.3 cm deep. Observation of the length of the incision was carried out every day for 12 days using a caliper. Significant wound healing activity was observed from administration of 10% concentration of ethanol extract of belimbing wuluh (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) fruit which contains chemical compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, tannins and triterpenoids as well as minerals, one of which is zinc and Vitamin C is also proven to help speed up the healing process of incisions with a percentage of wound healing on day 12, which is 100%, the same percentage value as the group of test animals given Povidone Iodine 10% (Betadine®) as a comparator drug. The presence of zinc (zinc) and vitamin C in the extract of star fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.), is predicted to also contribute to the wound healing process in this test.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a disease characterized by hyperglycemia and disturbances in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins associated with absolute or relative deficiencies of insulin action and or secretion. The main problem for DM sufferers is that more than 50% of diabetic patients do not know about the disease and its complications, so patients will return to the hospital with high blood glucose levels accompanied by various complications. The study aims to determine the factors that can cause complications in patients with diabetes mellitus. This research is a non-experimental study with a cross-sectional approach. The data were analyzed using SPSS with a Chi-square or Kruskal-Wallis and multivariate logistic regression test. Body mass index and duration of diabetes are significantly associated with the incidence of complications (p-value 0.05). Patients with an abnormal body mass index are 4.184x more at risk of complications than patients with a normal body mass index (RR 4.184 CI 1.581 – 11.070). In addition, patients with diabetes duration ≥5 years were 4.121 times more at risk of complications than patients with diabetes durations 5 years (RR 4.121 CI 1.570 – 10.816). The most common complication suffered by diabetic patients in this study was hypertension in 46 patients (41%), and the most common therapeutic regimen received by patients was oral hypoglycemia in 50 patients (52%).

Abstract

Immunomodulators are compounds that can regulate the immune system with the objective of normalizing or helping to optimize the immune system. People tend to back to nature by utilizing various plants to be used as medicine, one of which is kasumba turate (Carthamus tinctorius L.) which is thought to be efficacious as an immunomodulator in increasing the activity and capacity of macrophages. This study aims to determine the immunomodulatory activity of kasumba turate ethanol (CTEE) extract against non-specific and specific immune responses in mice. Non-specific immune response tests using the carbon clearance method were carried out on mice with 3 dose ratings. Specific immune response tests were carried out by the hemagglutination test method to determine antibody titers. The results of the carbon clearance test showed that the CTEE dose 50 mg/KgBW was a moderate immunostimulant with a phagocytic index of 1.41, while doses of 100 and 200 mg/KgBW were strong immunostimulants with phagocytic index of 1.57 and 1.82 respectively. While the results of the hemagglutination test method, the antibody titers value is determined from the highest serum dilution value that still indicates hemagglutination. The results show an increase in humoral immune response with the highest primary and secondary antibody titer values of 1:256 and 1:1024 for doses of 100 mg/KgBW, and 1:512 and 1:1024 for doses of 200 mg/KgBW. Phytochemical screening results of CTEE proved to contain alkaloid group compounds, flavonoids, saponins, tannins and triterpenoids. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that the administration of CTEE showed immunostimulant activity.
