Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease, resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Indonesia ranked 7 out of 10 on countries with the most highest number of diabetic patient. Oxidative stress and high blood glucose level were occurring under diabetic condition. High prevalence of diabetes and expensive cost for treatment lead to development of alternative treatment for diabetes. Alkaline water with pH>7 acts as antioxidant and had been proven to lower blood  glucose level via increase in glucose uptake. Metformin is the first line drugs for type 2 diabetes. The aim of this research was to compare the effect of alkaline water and metformin on blood glucose level of diabetic model rats. Methods: This research was experimental laboratory with the randomized pre and post test controlled-group design. This research was using 24 in total of 2 months old male Wistar albino rats weighting 180-200 g. Rats induced by alloxan 155mg/kg bw on the first day, then randomly divided into 4 groups with different treatments. Negative control group (K-) was given aquadest, positive control (K+) metformin 9mg/200g bw, Alkaline water 1 (Alk1) 23 ml, and alkaline water 2 (Alk2) 46 ml of alkaline water. These treatment was given once daily on the 5th until 12th day. Blood glucose level was measured three times: before induced by alloxan, after induced by alloxan, and post-treatment. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA (α = 0.05) followed by Multiple Comparisons LSD (α = 0.05). Result: The mean of post-treatment blood glucose level on K-, K+, Alk1, Alk2  respectively (in mg/dl) were 242.33±50,06; 67.83±12.90; 71.83±8,37; 70.83±9.72. The result of Repeated Measures Anova showed significant difference on mean blood glucose level (p=0.000). The result of LSD on mean of blood glucose level reduction showed significant difference (p=0.000) between K- and K+, K- and Alk1, K- and Alk2. The results of LSD showed no significant difference between K+  and Alk1 (p=0.536) as well as K+ and Alk2 (p=0.280).Conclusions: Alkaline water has comparable effect with metformin on blood glucose level of diabetic model rats.Keywords: alkaline water, metformin, blood glucose level, alloxan

Abstract

Introduction: Measurement of hemoglobin concentration can be done by hematology analyzer (HA) cyanmethemoglobin method (gold standard) and point-of-care testing (POCT) electrode-based biosensor method. POCT electrode-based biosensor method is one of the hemoglobin POCT and has not been studied before in Indonesia. This study examined the difference and correlation hemoglobin concentration by HA cyanmethemoglobin method and POCT electrode-based biosensor method. Methods: This was a cross sectional study in 4 senior high schools of Sukoharjo in Indonesia on Desember, 2016. Senior high schools were selected using a simple random sampling and senior high schools grade selected using a stratified random sampling. Among 173 grade 10 and 11 senior high school girls in this study the capillary and venous blood samples were collected. Capillary blood sample collected was immediately processed to measure the hemoglobin concentration using POCT electrode-based biosensor method and venous blood sample was collected to measure the hemoglobin concentration using HA cyanmethemoglobin method. Statistical analyses used were Mann-Whitney and Spearman’s correlation coefficient (α=0.05). Results: Hemoglobin concentration determined by the POCT electrode-based biosensor method compared to HA cyanmethemoglobin method was significantly different (p=0.000 ) and there was positive moderate correlation (r=0.438; p=0.000).

Abstract

Introduction: Anemia affects half a billion women in the world and become a problem, especially in pregnant women. One of the cause of anemia is inflammatory disease which also has a high prevalence in Indonesia. Therapies currently used to treat anemia are based on the underlying disease. Anticalin is a protein that works as hepcidin antagonist. Anticalin has completed the clinical phase II, but it has not been distributed to public market yet. Therefore, a new, easily accessible and more effective drug is required. Indonesian herbs have been widely used as medicinal plants in the community and are potential to be developed as drugs. The purpose of this study is to identify Indonesian phytochemicals that can act as hepcidin antagonist. Methods: The research was a bioinformatics study with molecular docking method. Three-dimensional structure of human hepcidin as a target protein and Anticalinas a standar therapy were downloaded from the website of the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The active compounds were obtained from HerbalDB and the three-dimensional structure was from PubChem National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). This study was performing using AutoDock Vina 1.1.2 to analyze the binding affinity. Molecular modification was performed with Autodock Tools 1.5.6. Visualization was done with Chimera 1.10 and PyMol 1.3. Results: The docking scores between hepcidin and Anticalin was -4.6 kcal/mol at Cys13,Cys14, Arg16, and Ser17. The compound Roxburghine B and Oxoxylopine could interact with the ligand binding domain and had the docking scores lower than Anticalin. Conclusions: Roxburghine B and Oxoxylopine are potential to become hepcidin antagonists insilico for inflammatory anemia. Keywords: anemia inflamasi, phytochemical, molecular docking, hepcidin, Anticalin
