Abstract

 Background: Clitoria ternatea L., commonly known as butterfly pea flower, has gained attention as a potential agent in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis due to its rich content of bioactive compounds, such as anthocyanin, a type of flavonoid renowned for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, along with its ability to enhance the immune system.Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the positive impact of butterfly pea flower extract on atherosclerosis biomarker profiles.Methods: The approach framework used in this research is a true experimental laboratory with a Control Group Post-Test design. Obese male white rats were selected as the research subjects. Thirty-six obese white rats were randomly divided into six groups using the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method. The data collected were VCAM and IL-6 levels from the blood serum of obese white rats tested using an ELISA photometer. The tunica intima thickness was measured using a microscope. Data were analyzed employing SPSS 18 software, utilizing one-way ANOVA statistical tests and post hoc Tukey tests.Results: The research showed that with the increase in Butterfly Flower Extract (BPFE) dose, there was a consistently lower level of inflammatory biomarkers, such as VCAM-1 and IL-6, compared to positive controls and other variations, as well as tunica intima thickness was thinning than others. A dose of 600 mg/kg BW (P3 group) had VCAM-1 levels up to 30.40 ± 6.71 ng/mL, IL-6 levels up to 17.70 ± 8.29 ng/mL, and tunica intima thickness up to 3.18 ± 1.24 µm.Conclusion: BPFE effectively lowers inflammatory biomarkers and thins the tunica intima thickness in obese white rats at 600 mg/kg BW dose. It may offer promising therapeutic potential in addressing atherosclerosis.

Abstract

To address global challenges related to drug resistance, the role of universities as centers of knowledge and innovation becomes a key driver in overcoming this issue. Universities are expected to actively carry out the three pillars of education, research, and community service. A concrete example of implementing these pillars is through awareness and education activities for students at Al Razi Sinar Harapan Medan Private Vocational High School regarding the appropriate use of antibiotics to prevent drug resistance. These awareness and education activities aim to provide a deep understanding to students about the judicious use of antibiotics as a preventive measure against drug resistance. The methods employed include lectures through presentations, group discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. To assess the level of understanding among students at Al Razi Sinar Harapan Medan Private Vocational High School regarding the use of antibiotics, an evaluation was conducted using a questionnaire. Based on the questionnaire results, before the awareness and education activities on the correct and proper use of antibiotics, the knowledge level of students at Al Razi Sinar Harapan Medan Private Vocational High School was low. However, after participating in these activities, there was a significant improvement in the students' knowledge about the more appropriate and accurate use of antibiotics. Students who gained this knowledge became more skilled and informed in managing their health, fostering a sense of responsibility for personal and community health. Thus, these awareness and education activities not only directly benefit the students' knowledge but also have a broader positive impact on public health as a whole. This effort is expected to make a positive contribution to reducing irrational antibiotic use and minimizing the impact of drug resistance among students, while also supporting the university's Tridarma vision to create a healthier and smarter society. The conclusion drawn from these activities is that students at Al Razi Sinar Harapan Medan Vocational High School now have a better understanding of antibiotic use and are aware of the risks of drug resistance.

Abstract

One of the efforts to reduce the risk of infant mortality (IMR) such as premature birth, sepsis and pneumonia, shortness of breath and trauma and LBW is the visit of newborns (neonatal). Newborn visits are one of the intervention options to reduce newborn mortality and comprehensively measure the capacity of care to provide healthy newborn delivery services for mothers and children. The reduction in infant mortality must be accompanied by a high coverage of newborn visits. Reducing infant mortality is currently not up to par, so the quality of newborn care visits should be investigated more closely. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of neonatal visit services at the Dolok Merawan Health Center, Serdang Bedagai Regency in terms of aspects of physical appearance (tangible), reliability (reliability), ability to understand (emphaty), responsiveness (responsiveness), and assurance of certainty (assurance). This research is a qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. Data collection was carried out in the form of observations, interviews, and focus group discussions (FGD) using the analytical technique. The results of the research conducted provide a statement that the quality of neonatal visit services has not run optimally. Of the five dimensions of service quality, there are four (4) service dimensions that are not optimal in supporting patient satisfaction. These four things are the midwife did not prepare a complete examination and only weighed, measured the temperature and recorded it in the visit book; midwives do not always make complete neonatal visits, lack of time for neonatal visit services, midwives rush to explain their illness, cramped neonatal visit service rooms where examination rooms are not separated from one another, and inadequate waiting rooms. Suggestions for institutions related to chair facilities in the waiting room are added to review and collect data on tools and facilities at the Puskesmas to procure or add and improve professionalism in carrying out neonatal visits.
