Abstract

Background: Obesity is a condition of excessive fat accumulation in adipose tissue. This condition causes endothelial damage, increase macrophage infiltration, and inflammation in adipose tissue. Inflammation happens due to the increase of interleukin-6 (IL-6) as a proinflammatory cytokine which responsible for the occurrence of chronic diseases. Intermittent fasting is a potentially effective method for losing weight and suggested can reduce levels of proinflammatory cytokines. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of 5:2 intermittent fasting on IL-6 cytokine levels in obese employees in Jakarta. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional method conducted on 50 healthy male employees aged 19–52 years with a body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2. Subjects were divided into two groups, the 5:2 intermittent fasting group and the non-fasting group. Intermittent fasting 5:2 was observed every Monday and Thursday for eight weeks. IL-6 levels were obtained through examination using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Statistical analysis was performed by Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis test. Results: The results showed that the median of IL-6 levels decreased in fasting group from 5,10 (1.06–9.81) pg/mL to 4.64 (1.00–13.39) pg/mL and increased in non-fasting group from 3.65 (1.17–38.70) pg /mL to 6.35 (2.44–19.86) pg/mL, but the change was not significant. Conclusion: Intermittent fasting 5:2 tend to decrease IL-6 levels in obese male employees in Jakarta although the change of IL-6 level was not significant.

Abstract

Background: Delayed wound healing, particularly in chronic wounds, is a significant global public health issue. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that over 6 million people in the United States experience delayed wound healing annually, resulting in a healthcare cost of $25 billion USD. Probiotics, known for their anti-inflammatory properties, have potential in influencing skin immunity by facilitating the transfer of cytokines and immune cells from Peyer's patches to the skin. Nevertheless, the precise impact of probiotics on postoperative wound healing remains an area with limited research. Objective: Determine the effectiveness of probiotic supplements in wound healing in patients with surgical wounds Method: Literature search is done by advanced searching on Pubmed, Cochrane, Scopus, and EBSCOhost with eligibility criteria determined by the author. Results: There were three articles relevant to clinical questions and eligibility criteria that had been established, consisting of one systematic review article from the randomized controlled trial (RCT) study and two RCT articles. The SR/MA article includes good-quality RCT studies. The SR/MA article showed insignificant results on the effect of probiotic administration on healing. The RCT article showed significant results on the effect of probiotics on surgical wound healing, but the confidence level was low in one of the articles. Conclusion: Probiotic supplementation on wound healing in postoperative patients is not conclusive. This can be affected by the type of probiotic strain, dosage, duration of administration, and location of the surgical wound.

Abstract

Background: Female students attending higher education had lower Health-related Quality of Life (HRQOL) scores and their eating behavior, which is a key element of healthy lifestyle, had changed to become unhealthy as a result of the pandemic's mental effects. There has been no study assessing the asssociation between both during the pandemic in Indonesia, especially after controlling for other factors. Objective : This study aimed to assess the association between eating behavior and HRQOL among female students attending higher education during Covid-19 Pandemic. Methods: This was a cross-sectional online survey with 474 subjects aged 18 to 25. The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) was used to assess emotional, external, and restraint eating. HRQOL was measured using the SF-36 questionnaire, with the subscales Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS). Additionally, sociodemographic data, screen time, sleep duration, nutritional status, and physical activity were collected. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results: PCS was significantly associated with emotional eating (r = 0.279, p-value <0.001), external eating (r = 0.211, p-value <0.001), and restrain eating (r = 0.116, p-value = 0.012). Besides, emotional eating (r = 0.211, p-value <0.001) and external eating (r = 0.172, p-value <0.001) were also significantly associated with MCS score Conclusion: During Covid-19 pandemic, the higher the emotional, external, and restraint eating behavior scores of the students, the higher their physical health-related quality of life. The higher the emotional and external eating behavior scores, the higher their mental health-related quality of life.

Abstract

Purple cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) is one of the agricultural products that contain anthocyanins which have the potential as antioxidants. The amount of production in Indonesia is still relatively low due to a lack of consumer demand and a lack of innovation in its utilization. So it is necessary to make new innovations, one of which is by processing it into flour to make Almond Crispy which is then given the name "Ceamond Crispy". The reason Almond Crispy is made, because it is easy to process and can be consumed for a long time. This study aims to determine the anthocyanin compounds contained in processed food "Ceamond Crispy". Almond Crispy is made with a ratio of purple cabbage flour and moderate protein flour in 3 formulations namely formulation 1 (1:2), formulation 2 (1:1), and formulation 3 (2:1). This research was conducted by organoleptic test, anthocyanin, nutritional content. Therefore, it can be concluded that the organoleptic test results obtained brown color, taste like chocolate, vanilla aroma, and crunchy texture. The anthocyanin test results obtained positive results in all three formulations. The results of the nutritional content test showed that the 3 formulations contained the same protein, carbohydrates (starch), and carbohydrates (glucose), but did not contain fat. The results of the preference test showed that formulation 3 was the most preferred formulation. Thus, proving that "Ceamond Crispy" can be received with a positive response by the community and has the potential to be developed into an innovative food that is beneficial for the heart. Thus, proving that "Ceamond Crispy" is safe for consumption by the public and can be developed into innovative foods that are beneficial for heart health.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) had started as a global pandemic and public health emergency back in year 2020. Starting in year 2023, which was a little more than three years afterwards, World Health Organization (WHO) removed COVID-19’s public health emergency status.1 During the past three years, the pandemic, quarantine, and lockdown policy had changed many aspects in life, sosio-economic and public health alike. This included nutrition behaviors which significantly affected the global population’s nutritional status. A study to adults and elderly living independently in Amsterdams revealed an increase of nutritional behavior presdisposing to overnutrition, such as more snacking and decreased physical activity to those who had not been in quarantine. Whereas those who were in quarantine, behavior changes related to undernutrition, such as eating less, skipping meals, and drinking more alcoholic beverages, were more seen in the study results.2 An online survey study to lockdown countries e.g Europe, North-Africa, Western Asia, and United States showed a decrease in both frequency and the duration of physical activity, included an increase of time spent in sedentary behavior. The study also revealed a significant increase in consuming unhealthy food, eating out of control, snacking between meals, alcohol binge drinking, and number of main meals per day.3An online study to students in Indonesia showed changes in eating patterns consisted of increased meal portions and snacks. The sedentary behavior was also excalated.4 What factors contributed to these changes? As we all aware, confinement influence our daily activities and mental health. Those who usually commute to the office had to work from home thus limiting physical activities. We also saw the increased numbers of anxiety, depression, and boredom which may led to more snackings or skipping meals.We had learned that the restriction to stay at home had influenced dietary and physical activity. These changes may or may not expected, however, they surely altered global nutritional status. The numbers of overweight and obesity are more prevalent post-pandemic thus may lead to the increase of non-communicable diseases.We certainly hope that there will be no more pandemic which warrants lockdown in the future, however the future itself is not a certainty. In the present, we will have to tackle many nutritional-related problems in any population. Within the course of time, if a similar pandemic should occur, we might have to compile a public health, nutrition, mental health, and physical activity policy to minimize the problems.

Abstract

Micronutrients are represented by vitamins and minerals and are present in a wide variety of foods. Each of these nutrients performs specific functions that are essential for the health of our cells and their harmonious functioning. Data suggest that many people have an inadequate daily intake of micronutrients, even when nutritious food is more easily available. It has since been established that the complex, integrated immune system needs multiple specific micronutrients, including vitamins A, D, C, E, B6, and B12, folate, zinc, iron, copper, and selenium, which play vital, often synergistic roles at every stage of the immune response.

Abstract

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. Vitamin D or calciferol is a steroidal compound made of cholesterol with healing properties due to its specific receptors (vitamin D receptors) in the nucleus of brain cells and its protective properties against nervous tissue in addition to its anti-inflammatory effects. This study is a double-blind randomized clinical trial that was performed on 72 patients with severe brain injury with a mean age of 34-50 years. They were randomly assigned to the study, thus intervention and control groups received vitamin D with a dose of 100,000 units and a dose of 1000 units for 5 days, respectively.
