Abstract

Chronic inflammation of the joints can cause rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) is known to have anti-inflammatory activity. Previous studies showed that ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of breadfruit leaves have anti-inflammatory activity in an acute anti-inflammatory model. This study aimed to determine the sub chronic anti-inflammatory activity of the ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts in CFA-induced mice. Balp/c mice (15) were divided into 5 groups: normal group, solvent-treated group, diclofenac sodium-treated group (dose 3 mg/kgBW), ethyl acetate extract-treated group (500 mg/kgBW dose), and ethanol extract-treated group (500 mg/kgBW dose). The extracts were given orally every day for 28 days. The body weight and edema volume were measured on the day of 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 after CFA induction. This study showed that the ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts were able to inhibit inflammatory process by reducing the edema in mice. Ethyl acetate extract exhibited a stronger anti-inflammatory activity compared to the ethanol extract. Although the body weight of the mice treated with the ethanol extract was higher than that of the ethyl acetate extract, both extracts did not cause a significant change in body weight compared to the normal group. The results of this study indicated that the ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of breadfruit leaves both demonstrated a sub chronic anti-inflammatory activity in mice.

Abstract

About 780 million tonnes of fly ash are produced annually worldwide. The use of fly ash is still minimal, causing fly ash piles to increase. Based on this, a study was conducted on the extraction of iron from coal fly ash using HCl as a solvent. This study aims to determine the Fe content in fly ash extracted using HCl with variations in HCl concentration and extraction time. This research begins with the preparation of fly ash samples using an oven. Fly ash that has been prepared and extracted using HCl added with MIBK and EDTA was then characterized using XRF, FTIR and AAS. The results showed that the highest Fe content (11.48%) was obtained from the extraction using 9N HCl for 1 minute. The greater the concentration of HCl and the faster the extraction time, the more Fe extracted.

Abstract

Self-cleaning is the ability to clean itself on a surface through a hydrophobic mechanism and a photocatalytic mechanism. Self-cleaning properties can be affected by the material used. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a material that has photocatalytic properties and Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a material that is hydrophobic. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of PDMS on the hydrophobic properties of TiO2nanorod-PDMS thin films. TiO2nanorode was synthesized using the solvothermal method. The diffractogram from XRD analysis showed that the synthesized TiO2 was in the anatase phase and the crystallite size was 25.96 nm. TiO2nanonorod-PDMS can be coated on the surface of the glass plate by the spin coating method. The hydrophobic nature of the plate surface is indicated by the contact angle of 126.9° at a mole ratio of TiO2 : PDMS 1:2. Its hydrophobic nature contributes to its self-cleaning properties by inhibiting water-containing pollutants. TiO2 contributes to its self-cleaning properties through photocatalytic activity when absorbing UV light and is indicated by the largest decrease in methylene blue levels, which is 92.48% in TiO2nanorod-PDMS glass samples with a ratio of 1:2 and can remove the color of turmeric juice pollutants.
