Abstract

Introduction: Drug Induced Liver Injury (DILI) is a liver injury caused by drug toxicity. About 41 out of 100.000 people suffer liver damage due to DILI. Most of this injury caused by excessive use of paracetamol. Meniran (Phyllanthus niruri Linn.) contains antioxidants that can protect liver from damage. The aim of this research was to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of meniran extract on histological damage in liver cells induced by paracetamol. Methods: This was laboratory experimental research with post test only controlled group design. This research was conducted in Histology Laboratory FK UNS. Samples were 30 mice obtained by purposive sampling which characteristics were Swiss webster type, male, 2-3 months old, ± 20 gr of each weight. Samples divided randomly into 5 groups, each group has six mice. The normal group (KN) was given distilled water only. The negative control group (KK (-)) was given paracetamol toxic dose only. The positive control group (KK (+)) was given Curcuma® and paracetamol toxic dose. A gradual dose (2.8 mg and 5.6 mg) of meniran extract was given daily to the first treatment group (KP 1) and second treatment group (KP 2) for 14 days respectively and added with paracetamol toxic dose (5 mg) on day 8th to 14th orally. On day 15th, mice were sacrificed and liver were taken for preparation with HE staining. Liver cells damage was identified by counting nucleus with pyknosis, karryorhexis, and karyolysis from 100 liver cells. Data was analyzed using One-Way ANOVA and Post Hoc Multiple Comparisons-LSD (α = 0.05). Results: One-Way ANOVA showed that there was a significant difference between 5 groups (p < 0.05). Post Hoc Multiple Comparisons-LSD showed that there were significant differences (p < 0.05) between KN-KK (-), KN-KK (+), KN-KP 1, KN-KP 2, KK (-)-KK (+). KK (-)-KP 1, KK (-)-KP 2, KK (+)-KP 1, KP 1-KP 2, but there was not significant difference between KK (+)-KP 2 (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Meniran extract has hepatoprotective effect on histological structure damage of mice’s liver cells induced by paracetamol in a dose dependent manner. Keywords: Phyllanthus niruri, paracetamol, liver cells histologic damage

Abstract

Introduction: Diarrhea is one of major problem in the world. There are about 2 billion cases of diarrhea with a mortality rate of 1.5 million per year in the world. Diarrhea is the first cause of death in infants and toddler, while in all age groups is the fourth leading cause of death in Indonesia. One of the pathogenesis of diarrhea is an increase of intestinal motility. Leaves of soursop (Annona muricata Linn.) contains tannins, flavonoids and steroids which effect of intestinal antimotility. This study aims to prove that the ethanol extract of soursop leaves may inhibit intestinal motility in mice induced by oleum ricini. Methods: This study was a laboratory experimental with posttest only controlled group design. Samples were 30 Swiss Webster male mice, aged 2-3 months, and weight ± 20 g. The samples were divided into 5 groups, namely Negative Control Group (KKN), Positive Control Group (KKP), Treatment I Group (KP1), Treatment II Group (KP2), and Treatment III Group (KP3) were respectively given distilled water; loperamide HCl; ethanol extract of soursop leaves with dose of 5.6 mg/20 g BW; dose of 11.2 mg/20 g BW; and dose of 22.4 mg/20 g BW. After 60 minutes, all of mice were given oleum ricini and it was waited until 45 minutes. Then all of mice were given 10.0% activated carbon suspension in 3.0% pulvis gummi arabicum and left for 20 minutes. Furthermore, the mice were sacrificed by spinal dislocation and their intestines were removed. Length of intestine through by activated carbon marker was measured and compared to the length of intestine entirely. Data were analyzed by One Way ANOVA and Post Hoc Multiple Comparisons LSD (α = 0.05). Results: One Way ANOVA test results showed significant differences between the five groups with p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). The test results Post Hoc Multiple Comparisons LSD showed significant differences (p < 0.05) between KKN and KKP (p = 0.000), KKN and KP2 (p = 0.000), KKN and KP3 (p = 0.000); whereas there is no significant difference (p > 0.05) between KKP and KP3 (p = 0.810). Conclusion: The ethanol extract of soursop (Annona muricata Linn.) leaves can inhibit intestinal motility in mice (Mus musculus) induced by oleum ricini. Keywords: soursop leaves, oleum ricini, intestinal motility

Abstract

Introduction: Use of chemical insecticide to kill Anopheles aconitus L. mosquitoes can cause many side effects and resistances for the mosquitoes, thus natural larvicide is needed to kill Anopheles aconitus L. larvae. Sweet leaves contain substances that can be used as larvicide. Therefore, the aim of research is to investigate how ethanol extract of sweet leaves affects to the mortality of Anopheles aconitus L. third instar larvae. Methods: This research used laboratory experimental design with posttest only controlled group design. The subject of this research was Anopheles aconitus L. third instar larva which was divided into 7 groups. Each group contained 25 larvae and the research was repeated 4 times. The negative control group contained 100 ml of water only. The other six groups contained different number of ethanol extract of sweet leaves: 0.06%, 0.14%, 0.22%, 0.30%, 0.38%, and 0.46% (mg/100ml). Observation was done after 24 hours and the number of dead larvae was counted. Linear Regression and Probit Regression were used to analyze data. Results: Linear Regression test showed that increasing of the ethanol extract of sweet leaves affected to the increasing of Anopheles aconitus L’ mortality based on Y = 0.02 + 2.12X formula. The R correlation score was 0.98 and R2 score was 0.96 thus it meant that percentage of ethanol extract of sweet leaves (Sauropus androgynus (L.) Merr.) to kill larvae was 96% and the rest 4% was affected by other variables. Probit Regression test showed that LC50 was at 0.19% mg and LC99 was at 0.56%. Conclusion: Ethanol extract of sweet leaves (Sauropus androgynus (L.) Merr.) has effect to the mortality of Anopheles aconitus L. third instar larvae paralleled to the increasing of ethanol extract. The LC50 is at 0.19%, the LC99 is at 0.56% Keywords: sweet leaves (Sauropus androgynus (L.) Merr.), Anopheles aconitus L. third instar larvae, mortality
