Abstract

Background: Height is an important clinical indicator to derive Body Mass Index (BMI) and also to estimate Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). However, height measurement in someone who cannot stand properly like the elderly or lower ekstremity abnormality may become difficult. Therefore, estimating height with another antropometric measurement may become a solution. In another study, arm span showed the highest correlation with standing height. The different morfologic between male and female also important to find the different estimating height formula. Objectives: This research aimed to know arm span to height ratio data in students from Medicine Faculty 2008 of Sebelas Maret University and the differences of arm span to height ratio between male and female. Methods: This research was an analytical observational research with cross sectional approach. The sample data collected using purposive sampling method within inclusion and exclusion criteria. From the population, 60 samples (30 males and 30 females) chose by simple random sampling method, then measured their height and arm  span. Height measured in anatomical position using microtoise staturmeter. Arm span measured using ruler tape from the longest finger in right hand to the longest finger in left hand. All data analyzed using normality test Kolmogorov-Smirnov and followed with t-independent test if the distribution data showed normal. Results : T-independent test result p = 0.03 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study found a difference in arm span to height ratio between male and female students in Faculty of Medicine 2008, Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta Keywords: arm span, height, anthropometric measurement, student

Abstract

Background: Star fruit is a good source of natural antioxidants which can prevent oxidative damages and modulate reactive free-radicals. However, no study had been carried out so far on the hepatoprotective effect of star fruit. This research aimed to study the hepatoprotective effect of star fruit juice on SGPT level in paracetamol- intoxicated rats. Methods: This was a laboratory experimental study with posttest only controlled group design. A total of 30 white male, Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus), aged 2-3 months and weighed 160-200 grams was assigned into five groups. Normal group and negative control group were administered distilled water, while positive control group was administered Curcuma® (3.6 mg/200 g bw). The treatment group 1 and 2 were administered star fruit juice at concentration of 50% and 100%, successively. This study was performed for 14 days. In the last 3 days, all groups except normal group were induced by paracetamol at toxic dose (291.6 mg/200 g BW) an hour after the treatment of star fruit juice (for treatment group 1 and 2) was done. Blood samples were collected from retro-orbitalis venous to measure SGPT levels. The data were analyzed statistically using one-way ANOVA followed by LSD test. Results: The analysis of SGPT with one-way ANOVA showed a significant difference across all groups. Further, the LSD tests of SGPT level showed significant differences between negative control group (182.5 U/L ± 14.0) and the two star fruit groups (p values <0.001). SGPT mean in treatment group 1 (87.0 U/L ± 14.1) and treatment group 2 (91.7 U/L ± 14.9) also differed from those of positive control (67.1 U/L ± 5.5, p=0.008) and normal group (53.8 U/L ± 8.6, p=0.002). There was no significant difference between two groups treated with star fruit juice (p=0.511). Conclusions: Star fruit juice at concentration of 50% and 100%  significantly inhibited the elevation of SGPT levels in paracetamol-intoxicated rats. Keywords: Star fruit juice, SGPT, paracetamol, rats
