Abstract

Glucocorticoid represent a kind of stress hormone that suppressed the normal immune response by blockade T-Helper 1 cell program that has function to produce gamma interferon. Glucocorticoid could give some impact like losing weight, immunodeficiency, and change the differentiation of leukocyte. This fruit of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt) is a traditional plant in Maluku and contains secondary metabolite compounds that can induce the secretion of immune system (immunomodulatory). This research has a target to discover the number of mice leukocyte and its various cell that will be induced by stress itself and will be given ethanol extract of nutmeg seed. This research considers as pure experimental with posttest only control group design. 30 mice divided into 5 different groups, which are normal control (KN), negative control (stress), positive control (stress+0.2 Alprazolam), ethanol extract of nutmeg seed 4% (P1) and 16% (P2). Group control of K-, K+, P1, P2 were stress inducted using FST method for 6 minutes, and then give orally all the treatment for 7 days long and at the 8th days the blood collected intracardially. The counting process held as manual observation. The data analyzed by using ANOVA. The result of this research shows that P1 on the experiment could decrease the presentation of neutrophil, increase the presentation of monocyte and lymphocyte, meanwhile on P2 could decrease the presentation of neutrophil and monocyte, increase the presentation of lymphocyte and has no effect to the percentation of eosinophil and basophil. We can conclude that the giving of ethanol extract of nutmeg seed didn’t give a specific effect to the average mount of neutrophil, monocyte, lymphocyte, eosinophil, and basophil (p>0.05).

Abstract

Stress is a non-specific response in the body to conditions or conditions that occur as a result of exposure to stressors. High stress usually has a negative impact on the body, one of which is increasing blood sugar levels. Brown algae is one of the traditional marine plants and contains secondary metabolite compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and steroids which are antidepressants so that they can prevent the increase in blood sugar levels. This study aims to determine the effect of acute stress on blood sugar levels of mice by giving ethanol extract of brown algae. This research is a true experimental research design with pre test and post test control group design. 30 mice were divided into normal control (KN), negative control (K-), positive control (K +) groups, ethanol extract of brown algae with a concentration of 2.5% (P1) and 5% (P2). The study was started by measuring the initial blood sugar levels in all groups, then groups K-, K +, P1, and P2 were given stress treatment with the FST method for 6 minutes for 7 days. Group K + was given alprazolam at a dose of 0.2 ml at 1 hour before treatment, while P1 and P2 were given brown algae at 30 minutes before treatment. After the treatment, it was followed by measurement of the final blood sugar level. The data from the observations were analyzed using the dependent T-test with a confidence level of 95%. The results showed that the post-test blood sugar levels in the P1 and P2 groups experienced an increase, but the increase was not significant. The results also showed that the significance values (2-tailed) in the P1 and P2 groups were 0.772 and 0.392 (sig> 0.05), meaning that it could be concluded that there was no effect of giving ethanol extract of brown algae on the prevention of increasing blood sugar levels after acute stress.

Abstract

Background: Academic difficulties and lack of adaptation ability of students to their educational environment are often encountered in the early period of their education, including for those enrolled in medical faculties. The academic difficulties encountered could be reflected in the low academic achievement of students. This study aimed to explore the academic difficulties and adaptation processes of students with low academic achievement (GPA <2.50) in the first two years at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Pattimura (UNPATTI), Ambon.Methods: This study used a qualitative method involving 23 informants from the first and second year at the Faculty of Medicine UNPATTI who had low academic achievement (GPA <2.50). Data were collected from March to April 2022 using Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and in-depth interviews (IDI) techniques. Data analysis was performed using the thematic analysis method based on the research objectives.Results: This study shows that the academic difficulties of first-two-year students with low academic achievement are influenced by several factors, including the transition from school to university, tight scheduling, difficulty in understanding lecture material, and the online lecture system due to the COVID-19 pandemic occurred since 2020. These difficulties were also exacerbated by student attitudes, family influence, and the socio-economic environment.Conclusion: It is necessary to identify students who experience academic difficulties as early as possible. This will help educational institutions assist them, including by strengthening the role of academic supervisors and peer mentors for students in need.
