Abstract

Background: Diseases due to infection where one of the causes is Staphylococcus aureus is one of the biggest problems faced today. Treatment using penicillin antibiotics tends to cause resistance and side effects, so people prefer to overcome them by means of self-medication or the use of traditional ingredients such as betel leaf. The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of green betel leaf extract (Piper betle L.) on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus on the antibacterial activity. Methods: This study is experimental research in vitro using a well diffusion method. The betel leaf was extracted using the maceration method and made into concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. Results: The average diameter of the inhibition zones was 9.82 mm, 9.11 mm, 9.28 mm, and 9.01 mm at concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%, sequentially. Conclusion: The antibacterial activity of betel leaf extract in the overall concentration and the most optimal concentration was 5% at 9.82 mm.

Abstract

Background: Candida albicans is a fungus that often results in opportunistic infections in humans, called candidiasis. People generally practice self-medication to treat candidiasis with azole antifungals. However, this causes resistance due to inappropriate drug or dose selection. Betel leaf extract, which contains active compounds with antifungal properties such as phenols, tannins, and flavonoids, can be used as alternative medicine. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was an effect of green betel leaf extract (Piper betle L.) on the growth of Candida albicans. Methods: This study is an experimental study and uses the disc diffusion method. The betel leaf was extracted using the maceration method and made into concentrations of 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. Results: The mean inhibition zone diameters were 9.12 mm, 8.79 mm, 8.18 mm, and 8.55 mm at concentrations of 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%, sequentially. Conclusion: Betel leaf extract has an antifungal effect, with the most effective concentration being 40%.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood sugar levels, and the increase in sugar levels is triggered by low insulin production or the ineffective use of insulin by the body (relatively). Diabetic neuropathy is a complication that often attacks DM patients and is the highest complication of diabetes. This study aims to test the effectiveness of Andaliman fruit (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium) extract on the improved histopathology of Peripheral nerve in alloxan-induced Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). Methods: This study is an experimental study using 24 Wistar rats, which were grouped into 6 groups (1: normal, 2: negative control, 3: positive control, 4-6: DM + andaliman extract 150mg/kgBW, 250 mg/kgBW, 350 mg /kgBB). Data analysis used SPSS to determine differences in the histological conditions of peripheral nerves. Results: The administration of andaliman fruit extract at a dose of 350 mg/kgBW was most effective in inhibiting the proliferation of Schwann cells, which showed the potential of andaliman fruit extract in preventing the progression of diabetic neuropathy. The administration of andaliman fruit extract at a dose of 350 mg/kgBW also showed the most effective potential in inhibiting the inflammatory process in the peripheral nerves, which is believed to be responsible for peripheral nerve cell damage. Conclusion: Andaliman fruit (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium) extract is effective against improving the histopathology of peripheral nerves in alloxane-induced Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus).
