Abstract

Contamination of heavy metal on the South Kalimantan River has become a well thrived issue. In the Barito River watershed, it is reported that there are heavy metals in the form of Pb, Hg and Cd. Heavy metals can affect physiological anatomical changes and the hematopoietic system. This study aims to determine the impact of heavy metal contamination on changes in body weight and hemoglobin levels. The research method is a true laboratory experiment using a pre-post-test group design. The subjects used were healthy male white rats (Rattus norvegicus), aged 2-6 months and weighing 250-300 gr. The research group was divided into two groups, the control group (K) was a group of experimental animals that were given distilled water while the treatment group (P) was a group of experimental animals that were given water contaminated with heavy metals (Pb, Cd, and Hg) ad libitum for 30 days. The results showed that there was no effect of giving Pb metal; 0.01 mg/l = 0.006 mg/kgBW, Cd; 0.003 mg/l = 0.018 mg/kgBW, Hg; 0.001 mg/l = 0.0006 mg/kgBW and Pb+Cd+Hg; 0.006 mg/kgBB + 0.018 mg/kgBB + 0.0006 mg/kgBB on body weight of white rats. There was a significant decrease in Hb levels in white rat hemoglobin after administration of Pb metal; 0.01 mg/l = 0.006 mg/kgBB. Pb metal in water can influence changes in decreasing Hb levels during sub-acute administration. It can be concluded that there was a significant difference in hemoglobin levels before and after giving water containing Pb/lead metal, whereas in the other groups there was no significant difference, as did the Hb levels.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia increases oxidative stress that damage cells including in heart muscle. Oral hypoglycemic drugs cant reduce the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB) which plays an important role in inflammation and cell damage. Radish leaves (Raphanus sativus) are known to have compounds that can reduce the expression of NFkB.This study aimed to determine the effect of radish leaves on the expression of NFkB in heart muscle. The study design was an experimental laboratory post-test control group design. The subjects were DM male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus), weight 150-300 grams, 3-4 months old. Rats were divided into four groups and took the treatment orally for 28 days. The 1st group got plain water. The 2nd group got glibenclamide 5 mg/kg BW/day. The 3rd and 4th groups got 50% and 100% ethanol extract of radish leaves. After the end of treatment, the heart's tissue was taken for immunohistochemical (IHC) staining to measure the proportion of NFkB. The intervention of ethanol extract of radish leaves 50% and 100% for 28 days reduced the percentage of NFkB in the heart muscle cell of rats than placebo and glibenclamide 5 mg/kg BW ((p=0.000). There was no difference between radish leaf extract concentration of 50% and 100% for 28 days in reducing the expression level of NFkB in the heart muscle cell of rats (p=0.876).This research has not been done before and is important for the treatment of diabetes mellitus in the future.

Abstract

Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin and irritates the mucous of the digestive tract. Goblet cells play a role in mucosal defense because they produce mucin. In previous research, cayenne pepper juice caused gastric mucosal damage and improve at certain doses. This Research is a continuation of previous research, which was to determine the effect of cayenne pepper on the number of goblet cells of the small intestine mucosa of rats and is additional material for the development of therapy for digestive disorders. An experimental study with a post-test only and control group design, used 20 male rats, divided into 1 control (K) and 4 treatment groups (C45, C90, D135, and E180). Cayenne pepper juice was given according to the dose of the group using a gastric probe for 6 days. On the 7th day, the small intestine was taken and processed on histological preparation. Microscopic observations of goblet cells counted on average every 100 epithelia in 20 villi in 15 fields of view and the mean number was tested by One Way ANOVA and Post Hoc test. Analysis showed a significantly different mean number of goblet cells between groups (p<0.05), the highest was in the C135 (34.100 ± 1.274), the lowest mean was in the K (12.050 ± 0.462), and there was a decrease in the mean number in the C180 (28.525 ± 2.309). Cayenne pepper juice had effected the highest increase in the number of goblet cells at a dose of 135 mg and decreased at the dose of 180 mg of cayenne pepper in the small intestine of rats.

Abstract

Bacillus cereus, a gram-positive bacterium with a high incidence of causing infection through food, is a common cause of infection. Plant extract from Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) contains alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins, and has been demonstrated to exhibit antibacterial action against other bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The purpose of this study is determining the antibacterial activity of vetiver root extract (Vetiveria zizanioides (L.)) against the growth of Bacillus cereus bacteria in vitro. In this experimental study, the inhibition effect of vetiver root extract against Bacillus cereus growth was measured using disc diffusion method. Extract consentraion used in this tudy were 60%, 80% and 100%. The diameter of area with no bacterial growth around disc (inbition zone) was measured and the average of diamter from four independent measurement was used to decide the sensitivity of bacteria towards the extract. The average measurement results from 60 percent concentration of extract were 6.70 mm, 7.04 mm for 80 percent concentration, and 7.05 mm for 100 percent extract concentration. The positive control, Amoxicillin 500 mg, had a diameter of 14.35 mm, whereas the negative control, sterile distilled water, had no impact. Bacillus cereus bacteria growth can be inhibited by Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) extract.

Abstract

Opportunistic pathogenic microbes are often a problem in the treatment of infections because of their ability to form biofilms. The structure of the irreversible components of the glycocalyx or microbial capsule plays a role in protecting it from antimicrobial exposure and disinfection. The effectiveness of antibiofilms needs to be evaluated, including those from natural preparations. Citrus hystrix DC. (C.hystrix) contains antimicrobial compounds and its activity as an antibiofilm needs to be known. This experimental research aims to test the anti-biofilm effect of C.hystrix extract against standard microbial isolates. The dilution method with tube-test was used to analyze the antibiofilm effect of a combination of C. hystrix leaf and peel extracts (6.25%, 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) with 70% ethanol control. Antibiofilm observations are qualitatively based on the Minimum Biofilm Inhibitory Concentration (MBIC) and quantitatively based on the Mean Gray Value (MGV) of biofilm intensity. The results of observations in 3 experiments showed that the MBIC of C.hystix extract was 6.25% for gram-positive bacteria and 12.5% for gram-negative bacteria and Candida. The average MGV of C.hystrix extract was 75%, equivalent to 70% ethanol for all test microbes (p.0.05). The highest average MGV was produced by 100% combination extracts for S.epidermidis (138,09±0,36), S.aureus (135,69±2,01), E.coli (134,75±0,89), P.aeruginosa (130,76±0,24), and C.albicans (130,41±0,41). In conclusion, hystrix orange leaf and peel extracts produce anti-biofilm activity against test microbes in-vitro.

Abstract

Acute appendicitis requires fast and precise diagnosis. Delay in diagnosis will increase the risk of complications, as well as morbidity and mortality. Modalities such as ultrasound or CT scan are not always available. The purpose of this study was to analyze the Alvarado score, RIPASA score, NLR and PLR to predict the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in a type C Hospital. This research is an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional approach, from medical records. The diagnosis is made by surgeon based on clinical, laboratory, imaging findings, then confirmed by surgery and histopathology. From a total of 32 patients, there were 21 patients (66%) with a final diagnosis of acute appendicitis, and 11 patients (34%) with a final diagnosis of non-acute appendicitis. Alvarado score ³7 has an AUC value of 81.6%, with a sensitivity of 57.14%, a specificity of 81.82%. RIPASA score ³7.5 has an AUC value of 84.6% with a sensitivity of 80.95%, a specificity of 81.82%. NLR with a cut-off value of >4.49 can be used to detect acute appendicitis, and a cut-off value of >9.13 for perforated appendicitis. PLR with a cut-off value of >172.2 can be used to detect perforated appendicitis.
