Abstract

Recently, burn injuries have become a major cause of morbidity and mortality in low-middle-income countries. Burn injuries are tissue loss caused by contact with heat sources such as hot water, fire, chemicals, electricity, and radiation. According to the WHO Global Burden Disease, in 2017 an estimated 180.000 people died from burn injuries. Ethanol extract of green algae (EEGA) contains compounds that potentially heal burn injuries. The research was conducted to obtain a gel formulation from EEGA and test its burn wound healing properties in mice (Mus musculus). Forty-five mice were divided into five groups: I (negative control), II (treated with gel base), III (positive control, Bioplacenton gel), IV (5% EEGA gel), and V (10% EEGA gel). Wound diameters and description scores were observed every fourth, seventh, and fourteenth day, and the derived data were analyzed in the SPSS program with the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and least significance difference (LSD) test. The results indicate that EEGA can be formulated into gels with physical properties compliant with the requirements of the dosage form. Further, it was found that Groups IV and V showed significant reductions in wound description scores and diameters (p<0.05). In conclusion, gels containing 5% and 10% EEGA possess burn wound healing properties.

Abstract

The use of antibiotics as the main standard of pneumonia treatment is usually prescribed in high quantities. Inappropriate selection of antibiotics can lead to bacterial resistance, treatment failure, and the emergence of DRPs (Drug-Related Problems). This study aims to determine the suitability of antibiotic prescribing using the PCNE method and to determine the correlation between the suitability of antibiotic prescribing and clinical response. This study was analyzed using a retrospective analytic cohort study method with data collection of adult Community-Acquired Pneumonia patients medical record, who were hospitalized in private hospital in Yogyakarta from January to December 2019. In addition, this study also assessed antibiotic prescribing according to the PCNE V8.02 method toward patients’ clinical response (the number of leukocyte, temperature, and respiratory rate) after take the antibiotics. The correlation according to antibiotic prescribing analyzed according to chi-square method. The results showed that a total of 52 antibiotic regimens obtained in the evaluation of antibiotic prescribing according to the PCNE method were 21.5% suitable and 78.8% not suitable. Thus, the results of the correlation test for the accuracy of antibiotic prescribing and clinical response to the number of leukocytes showed a significant relationship (p<0.05). However in this study, none significant correlation was found in antibiotic prescription and clinical response in terms of temperature and respiratory rate (p<0.05).

Abstract

The development of type 2 diabetes is influenced by the important role of post-prandial blood glucose management. One strategy in controlling post-prandial hyperglycemia can be done by inhibiting the digestion of dietary carbohydrates through inhibition of alpha amylase enzyme. Natural alpha amylase enzyme inhibition strategy that utilizes natural ingredients is an important alternative in the development of antidiabetic drugs. One of the plants that has the potential to be developed as an antidiabetic is Peperomia pellucida. This study aims to examine the effects of antidiabetic extracts and fractions of Peperomia pellucida in inhibiting alpha amylase enzyme. The research was conducted by determining the total flavonoid using quercetin standard. Antidiabetic studies were carried out by looking at the activity of extracts and fractions of Peperomia pellucida in inhibiting alpha amylase enzyme using visible spectrophotometry method. Data analysis was performed by entering the absorbance value into the standard quercetin curve, while the IC50 value of in vitro antidiabetic activity was determined by entering the value 50 on the curve between the sample concentration and % inhibition of the alpha amylase enzyme. The results showed that the total flavonoid values of the ethanol extract and the ethyl acetate fraction of the herb were 88.24 mg QE/g extract and 80.45 mg QE/g fraction, respectively. Based on the results, the inhibition of alpha amylase enzyme showed that the ethanol extract and the ethyl acetate fraction of the herbs had inhibitory activity with the IC50 value of the ethanol extract 1065.54 g/mL and the ethyl acetate fraction 906.53 g/mL. While the control of acarbose showed an IC50 value of 379.45 g/mL. The ethanol extract and the ethyl acetate fraction of Peperomia pellucida herbs have the potential to be developed as antidiabetic agents with the mechanism of action of inhibiting the activity of the alpha amylase enzyme.

Abstract

TB (Tuberculosis) is a common infectious disease affecting humans since very long time. Multidrug therapy with its associated adverse drug reactions is one of the major concerns for the management of TB. The current study has been conducted for identifying causality assessment, severity as well as preventability of first-line anti-tubercular agents. All the diagnosed patients of tuberculosis attending TB and chest department of tertiary care hospital of western India and received Anti-TB drugs over 6 months enrolled in the study. Demographic details, suspected drugs/groups, causality assessment, severity assessment, and preventability assessment were analyzed from reported suspected ADR (adverse drug reaction) forms. Throughout the research period of 6 months, 500 patients received Anti-TB drugs. Among them, (10%) 50 patients developed 121 adverse drug reactions. According to the WHO causality scale, 66 (54.54%) ADRs were classified as ‘probable’ and 53 (43.8%) ADR were ‘possible’. More than half of the reactions (31, 62%) were mild on the severity scale while most of the ADRs were definitely (34, 68%) preventable as per the preventability scale. Gastrointestinal system is the most common affected system (54, 47.62%) followed by dermatological disorders (26, 23.01%) and Liver and biliary system (20, 16.52%). Isoniazid (46, 38%) and Rifampicin (40, 33%) were the common cause of first-line antitubercular agents for ADRs. ADRs to antitubercular agents are a major concern for patient compliance. Patient education, intensive reporting, and management can be helpful to improve the outcome of antitubercular therapy.

Abstract

The notion of the Glycemic Index (GI) can be utilized to aid in the choosing of foods for a healthy diet, leading to low GI claims that have been commonly found in various food products. The convenience of the test subject could affect GI results, such as the type of reference food and how much of it to be consumed. Therefore, the goals of this research were to see if white rice (Pandan Wangi) could be used as a reference food and to compare GI result obtained from a different portion of available carbohydrate. The recruited subjects ranged in age from 21-36 years old with BMI of 18.5-24.9 kg/m2). Glucose measurement and sample testing (white rice and cookies) were conducted in the experiment. Overnight fasting was required of volunteers, and blood samples were obtained using One Touch Ultra Lifescan. There were seven points of blood sampling with triplication of glucose testing GI values were calculated with Incremental Area Under Curves (IAUC). The result means of GI were 74±16 (white rice), 60±24 (wheat cookies), 38±14 (NS-cookies), and 39±16 (HMT-cookies). The correlation between IAUC glucose and rice was significant with r=0.834 (n=10, p<0,01). GI of white rice based on 25g available carbohydrates (AVCHO) was significantly different from GI based on 50g AVHCO (n=10, p<0.05). Pandan Wangi white rice can be used to substitute glucose or white bread in GI tests with a conversion factor of 0.74. It needed further study regarding the use of 25 g AVCHO as the basic portion in GI test.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is one of the health problems that cause significant health, economic, and social burdens. Generally, cardiovascular disease starts to appear clinically at the age of 40 years and over. Currently, diabetes can appear early because of an unhealthy lifestyle since childhood. Senior high school students, the nation's next generation, are essential assets for the country. The school-age intervention is expected to increase student awareness for anticipating cardiovascular disease. This study focused on evaluating the relationship between the level of knowledge related to cardiovascular disease and the risk of cardiovascular disease in high school students. This study is an analytic observational with a cross-sectional design with purposive sampling. The instruments used in this study to measure the level of knowledge and cardiovascular risk are a closed-ended questionnaire, digital sphygmomanometer, scale, height meter, body measuring tape, and blood glucose self-test device. The total study population was 207 students from two senior high schools in Bali. Almost one-third of the subjects have high blood pressure. Nearly a quarter of the subjects are overweight-obese and have waist circumference above normal. The result showed no significant difference relationship between the level of knowledge and cardiovascular risk (P >0.05). Therefore, further education is needed to instil healthy behaviors to control cardiovascular risk factors as early as possible. In conclusion, there is no relationship between the level of knowledge on cardiovascular risk in two senior high schools in Bali.

Abstract

Glutathione is an antioxidant that plays a role in preventing free radicals and reducing oxidative stress, including in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2). One of the factors that affect glutathione status is the individual's ability to produce glutathione and in diabetic patients, T-glutathione levels have decreased. This study aims to determine the effect of fruit and vegetable consumption habits on plasma levels of T-Glutathione. This research method is analytic observational with cross sectional findings, the sample used is 85 subjects in the form of archives of biological materials. Data on habits of consuming vegetables and fruits were collected through interviews, plasma T-GSH levels were determined biochemically using the Elabscience GSH Assay Kit and then analyzed using the Mann Whitney test. The results showed that the average plasma T-GSH levels in patients with the habit of consuming vegetables and fruit and those who did not, were 13.54 ± 3.34 mol/L and 12.73 ± 1.44 mol/L, respectively, but not found a significant difference relationship (p = 0.222). This study provides information that the habit of consuming vegetables and fruit does not provide a significant difference to plasma T-GSH levels in T2DM patients. But these habits still need to be done for health maintenance. Further research is needed that is more specific to the amount and type of certain vegetables and fruits consumed and how to cook them.

Abstract

Sleep quality and sleep duration might be more disturbed throughout the pandemic of Covid-19 among health care practitioners (HCPs). It could influence impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and hyperuricemia. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the association between sleep with IFG and hyperuricemia among HCPs throughout the pandemic of Covid-19. We conducted a cross-sectional study that enrolled 58 HCPs in the tertiary hospital. Self-reported questionnaire related to their sleep quality and duration using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were performed by participants. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and uric acid (UA) were examined after 10-12 hours of fasting to define IFG and hyperuricemia. A total of 58 HCPs detected 34.5% had IFG and 24.1% had hyperuricemia. We could not identify any statistically significant participants characteristic based on IFG. HCPs who shift workers were 21.4% hyperuricemia compared to 54.4 non-hyperuricemia (p=0.03). There were no different characteristics according to the quality and duration of sleep, where 72.4% HCPs had good quality and duration of sleep. However, we found that sleep medication used scores were higher in IFG group (0.30 ± 0.57) than non-IFG (0.03 ± 0.16) (p<0.01). This study could not detect a significant relationship between quality and/or duration of sleep, with IFG and hyperuricemia. Shift worker significant associated with hyperuricemia (p<0.05). The association between quality and duration of sleep with IFG and hyperuricemia was not found among HCPs, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. An alert where the IFG group had high sleep medication used scores, and shift workers had a lower risk of hyperuricemia.

Abstract

The oxidative stress mechanism in the body involves the balance between increased ROS and decreased antioxidant agents. ROS can damage DNA, proteins, and lipids, leading to pathology and impaired insulin secretion by dysregulation of several genes expression. High concentrations of ROS are often followed by a low activity of antioxidants from endogenous sources. As a result, exogenous antioxidants are required to neutralize ROS. As reported, medicinal plants, which have had various traditional applications, contain large amounts of secondary metabolites, proven to be exogenous antioxidant agents. Jamu, a traditional medicine, also known as an alternative medication, can be widely and easily found in traditional markets. Antidiabetic herbal products are among the most popular of jamu. Antidiabetic mechanism has a strong relationship with antioxidant roles in many biological systems. The aim of this research was to figure out the potential antioxidant activity of antidiabetic herbal products. Eight antidiabetic jamu samples were analyzed for their antioxidant activity by measuring the DPPH radical scavenging activity, phosphomolybdenum antioxidant activity, and FRAP, as well as for their total phenolic and flavonoid contents. Good linearity was a general finding for the quantitative analysis, with an average correlation coefficient of 0.999 for the standards. The highest total flavonoid content found was 8.66 ± 0.11 mgQE/g, and the highest total phenolic content was 22.66 ± 0.15 mgGAE/g. With regard to antioxidant activity, all of the samples demonstrated weak DPPH radical scavenging activity, while phosphomolybdenum antioxidant activity and FRAP were the highest at 48.58 ± 0.45 mgQE/g extract and 226.98 ± 0.19 mgQE/g extract, respectively. These results indicated that the claimed antidiabetic herbal products could be prepared as exogenous antioxidant sources, irrespective of being with or without antioxidant activity, for diabetes treatment.

Abstract

Capparis decidua belongs to family Capparidaceae in wastelands of India. The study aim was to determine the role of C. decidua fruits on the free fatty acids (FFA) profile in fat-rich diet (FRD) dyslipidemic rats. The methanolic extract of edible fruit of C. decidua (CD) was given orally to obese dyslipidemic rats at the dose of 125 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg for consecutive 28 days. CD treatment in FRD rats significantly restricts the body weight gains. Blood lipid profile was altered dose dependently and significantly after 4-week treatment with CD to FRD. rats. It significantly (p<0.05) enhanced serum FFA especially, g-linolinate, a-linolinate, arachidonate, ecosapentaenoate, docosapentaenoate and docosahexaenoate. Moreover, w3-PUFA content was also enhanced (50.3% and 78.8%) in the serum of CD treated animals, whereas MUFA was lowered (31.1% and 40%). Therefore, Capparis decidua fruit has a promising role on dyslipidemia and obesity and has the capabilities to regulate beneficial free fatty acids.
