Abstract

Hand washing is a healthy activity carried out by many parties. Getting used to wash your hands properly will increase health. The soap on the market is plain hand washing soap and antiseptic handwashing soap. The second type is claimed to be more effective in reducing the amount of bacterial contamination than plain soap because it contains antimicrobial ingredients to increase product sales. This study aims to determine the differences in the number of bacterial colonies on the palms of students who wash their hands with antiseptic soap and plain soap among students of Analyst Department of Pontianak Health Polytechnic, Minister of Health. This research was quasi-experimental, with 24 respondents. Each respondent was asked to wash hands properly twice, the first with plain soap that does not contain an antiseptic (A) and the second with soap containing antiseptic (B). After examining the number of bacteria on the respondent’s thumb, the average number of bacterial colonies got in treatments A and B was 45,5 and 38,8 CFU, respectively. Mann-Whitney U statistical test results got a probability value of 0.391> 0.05, which means there is no difference in the number of bacterial colonies in the palms that washing hands with plain soap and with antiseptic soap. This study revealed the fact that the number of bacterial colonies in the group that washed hands with antiseptic soap was lower than those who washed their hands with ordinary soap.

Abstract

Bungli (Oroxylum indicum) has been used for generations in Asia as traditional medicine. The seeds of the bungli are commonly used as traditional medicine to treat typhoid, cough, hypertension, internal fever, fever and diarrhea. The active compounds in this plant are known to have anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic, antifungal and antibacterial activities. Our research on methanol extract of bungli fruit seeds showed its potential to inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli bacteria that causes diarrhea. Bungli seed extract samples with a concentration of 25% showed an inhibition zone with a diameter of 9.22 mm, while at a concentration of 50% the diameter was 11.16 mm and 75% had a diameter of 12.88 mm. This size is indeed smaller than chloramphenicol (26 mm), but this potential can be greater if the extraction is carried out more intensively to extract the active compound, the sample concentration is increased, and the part or age of the plant with the highest content of the active compound is used; so that the Bungli plant is expected to be an alternative in overcoming Escherichia coli infection.

Abstract

Aloe vera (AV) and chocolate are good examples of functional foods because they contain prebiotics that can help the host defend itself against harmful bacterial infections such as Staphylococcus aureus. Many studies have used AV or chocolate alone to help fight infection, but not much is known about using both together. This study aims to count the number of colonies of S. aureus infected on mice’s skin (Mus musculus) after being given AV and cocoa in certain doses per kilogram of body weight. A total of 35 healthy male mice were infected with S. aureus in the superficial area of ​​the nape of the skin. After that, they were divided into seven groups, each consisting of 5 mice, and given the following treatments: given 50 mg/kg BW AV (group A), 50 mg/kg BW brown (B), 50 mg/kg BW combination of AV and chocolate (C), given 75 mg/kg BW AV (D), given 75 mg/kg BW brown (E), given 75 mg/kg BW combination of AV and chocolate (F), and control (without prebiotic administration), K). Mice that were given 75 mg/kg BW AV/chocolate/AV+chocolate had a better ability to reduce the number of bacteria than those that were given 50 mg/kg BW AV/chocolate/AV+chocolate. In addition, rats that were given AV and chocolate together had a better ability to reduce the number of bacteria than those that were given either only AV or chocolate alone. Prebiotics are both found in AV and chocolate but with different substances. This causes mice given a combination of prebiotics to be considered better than those given only one type of prebiotic source.

Abstract

Perubahan lingkungan, teknologi dan gaya hidup memicu naiknya kasus penyakit tidak menular, seperti diabetes melitus (DM) dan hipertensi (HT), yang bersifat kronis dan membawa risiko kematian terutama di negara berkembang seperti Indonesia. Dua penyakit tersebut dapat dideteksi dengan menilai profil lipid individu dimana kondisi dislipidemia dapat dianggap mengarah pada risiko terjadinya penyakit kardiovaskuler. Pemerintah Indonesia meluncurkan program Prolanis terhadap pasien DM dan HT yang salah satu kegiatannya adalah pemeriksaan profil lipid yang meliputi kadar kolesterol, trigliserida, HDL-kolesterol, dan LDL-kolesterol. Dari hasil pemeriksaan ini dapat dinilai rasio trigliserida terhadap HDL-kolesterol, yang merupakan prediktor paling kuat terhadap penyakit kardiovaskuler. Penelitian ini mengambil data pemeriksaan profil lipid dari 337 pasien Prolanis di Kota Pontianak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pasien DM didominasi oleh orang dengan hiperkolesterolemia (63,03%), trigliserida normal (56,36%), HDL-kolesterol normal (91,51%), LDL-kolesterol tinggi (83,03%), dan rasio trigliserida/HDL-kolesterol normal (60%). Demikian pula pada pasien HT, hiperkolesterolemia dan LDL-kolesterol tinggi dialami sebagian besar pasien (69,76 dan 84,30%), sedangkan trigliserida normal, HDL-kolesterol normal, dan rasio Trigliserida/HDL-kolesterol normal lebih mendominasi dengan persentase 61,61%, 94,19%, dan 68,03%. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa baik pasien DM maupun HT memiliki kecenderungan profil lipid yang normal dan menuju dislipidemia.
