Perilaku Manajemen Diri dan Profil Temperamen pada Karyawan Universitas Prediabetes: Studi Kuantitatif Deskriptif
type: item
description: This descriptive study (n = 39) investigated diabetes self‑management Questionnaire (DSMQ) and temperament profiles among university employees with prediabetes risk. DSMQ subscales (glucose management, dietary control, physical activity, healthcare use) were assessed alongside 75‑g OGTT categories (IFG/IGT) using ADA‑standard definitions. Most participants had low DSMQ scores (79.5%), with dietary control and physical activity as the weakest domains. Overweight/obesity was highly prevalent (BMI ≥ 23 kg/m²; 85%), and routine check‑ups were infrequent. BMI correlated with prediabetes (r = 0.436; p = 0.005) and hypertension (r = 0.466; p = 0.003). Dominant temperament was associated with 2‑hour plasma glucose during OGTT (ρ = 0.321; p = 0.045), whereas subdominant temperament was not significant (ρ = 0.285; p = 0.071). We clarified DSMQ structure (16 items; reverse‑coded items; sum scale) and standardized IFG/IGT/75‑g OGTT terms in line with ADA 2025. Findings highlight the need for workplace multicomponent programs integrating nutrition education, structured physical activity, weight management, and temperament‑informed counseling. Limitations include descriptive design (n = 39), purposive sampling, potential confounding, and the non‑causal nature of correlations. In settings with low health service utilization, pragmatic screening and regular follow‑up combined with personalized behavior change strategies may help prevent progression to type 2 diabetes.

type: item
description: The use of drugs for self-medication without proper knowledge and behavior can have a negative impact. This study explores the relationship between knowledge and behavior of patients self-medicating for pain at Serang City pharmacies. This study adopted cross-sectional research and sampling using purposive sampling. The level of knowledge and behavior was assessed using a questionnaire. This study included a total of 222 respondents (age 18-59 years) who were using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain and had taken them for the previous 3 months. The analysis of the relationship between knowledge and behavior was measured using the Spearman rho test. The results of showed a sufficient level of knowledge of the respondents (59.9%) with responsible behavior (57.2%). Spearman rho correlation test showed that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and behavior with a fairly strong correlation value (r = 0.715) in a positive direction. The higher the knowledge in self-medication, the better the behavior will be.

Perbandingan Kadar Hesperidin pada Beberapa Kulit Jeruk Menggunakan Spektrofotometer UV-Vis
type: item
description: Orange peel is a high-potential agro-waste and a rich natural source of hesperidin, a flavonoid compound with multiple health benefits, yet comparative data on hesperidin level across different citrus varieties are still limited. This study aimed to compare the yield and content of hesperidin among different citrus peels and to evaluate the reliability of UV-Vis spectroscopy for its quantification determination. Peels from Medan orange (C. sinensis), baby Java (C. sinensis), key lime (Citrus aurantiifolia), jeruk limo (C. amblicarpa), and kaffir lime (C. hystrix). Samples were extracted through a tiered Soxhletation process with n-hexane and methanol solvents, followed by acidification and crystallization to obtain hesperidin. Characterization was carried out using melting point analysis and thin-layer chromatography, while hesperidin content was determined with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a maximum wavelength of 283 nm. The results showed that citrus species significantly affected hesperidin yield and content, with with baby Java orange peel producing the highest amount (5.72%), followed by Medan orange (3.98%), lime (0.46%), jeruk limo (0.37%), and kaffir lime (0.16%). The UV-Vis spectrophotometry method proved reliable, showing linearity (r² = 0.998), accuracy (82.00%), and precision (%RSD = 0.964%). Content analysis confirmed that baby Java orange peel isolate had the highest hesperidin concentration (11.59 ppm, purity 86.14%) among other orange peel isolates compared to standard pure hesperidin. These findings highlight the variability of hesperidin content among citrus species and emphasize the importance of raw material selection for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical application.

Quantitative Evaluation of Antibiotic Utilization Using the ATC/DDD and DU90% Methods and Length of Hospital Stay Among Pediatric and Adult Pneumonia Patients in Bima
type: item
description: The primary treatment modality for pneumonia is antibiotic therapy, yet improper use can accelerate bacterial resistance and diminish therapeutic effectiveness. The study aims to evaluate the patterns of antibiotic utilization among hospitalized pediatric and adult patients with pneumonia in a hospital in Bima City, as well as to examine the factors influencing the length of hospital stay during the period of January to August 2020. The evaluation employed the WHO ATC/DDD methodology combined with DU 90% analysis using a descriptive cross-sectional design. Data were obtained retrospectively from medical records, and total sampling. A total of 95 patients met the inclusion criteria, representing all age categories with complete and legible documentation. Quantitative analysis showed that the total antibiotic consumption in pediatric patients reached 39.27 DDD per 100 patient-days, while in adult patients it reached 121.26 DDD per 100 patient-days. Ceftriaxone was the antibiotic with the highest DDD value in pediatric patients and adult patients, with 19.53 and 98.00 DDD/100 patient-days respectively. In the pediatric group, antibiotics within the DU 90 percent segment comprised ceftriaxone, gentamicin, cefotaxime, and azithromycin, whereas in adults, the DU 90 percent segment included ceftriaxone and azithromycin. A total of 97.6 percent of prescriptions were aligned with the hospital formulary. The bivariate analysis indicates that the presence of comorbidities is significantly associated with the length of hospital stay among pneumonia patients (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, patient age and nutritional status did not show a significant association (p > 0.05). Overall, the findings demonstrate a predominance of ceftriaxone use in the management of pneumonia in the hospital. These results highlight the importance of ongoing quantitative surveillance to monitor prescribing trends, and support implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programs to minimize resistance risk and…

Peran Tenaga Kefarmasian Dalam Pelayanan Penyakit Faringitis Di Apotek Wilayah X Propinsi Banten
type: item
description: Pharyngitis, or sore throat inflammation, is a disease generally caused by a virus and can heal on its own within a few days. However, symptoms such as pain when swallowing can cause discomfort for patients. Patients often come to the pharmacy to get medication without first consulting a doctor. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of pharmacists in region X in Banten province in providing pharmaceutical services to patients who come with complaints of sore throat. This study is a cross-sectional study using a survey method. Data collection methods were carried out using two methods, the first is participatory observation where researchers and observers acted as patients visiting selected pharmacies by conveying the complaints in question based on the scenario created. The second method was conducting interviews with pharmaceutical personnel at pharmacies in one of the selected areas who met the specified inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the study showed that in the patient simulation method: methyl prednisolone was the most frequently prescribed drug (52%), followed by lozenges containing dequalinium chloride (32%), the most frequently asked questions by pharmaceutical personnel when assessing patients were the symptoms experienced (63%) followed by the patient's age (53%). Meanwhile, in the interview method, lozenges containing dequalinium chloride were the most frequently prescribed medication (78%), followed by methylprednisolone (46%). The most frequently asked questions during patient assessment were the patient's age (98%), followed by the duration of symptoms experienced (96%). The drug's usage information was the most frequently conveyed information in both methods. The patient assessment process and drug information provided to patients in the interview method were better than in the simulated patient method. In general, pharmaceutical services provided by pharmacists to patients with sore throat problems are still not optima…

QSAR Analysis and ADMET Prediction of Tamoxifen Derivatives Using LFER Hansch Model
type: item
description: Tamoxifen is a pharmaceutical compound that can be widely used in the therapeutic regimen for breast cancer, particularly for postmenopausal women. Nevertheless, this clinical efficacy is frequently diminished and limited due to the emergence of drug resistance and heterogeneous therapeutic impacts with different degrees of severity. This has led to the discovery of structurally connected compounds that are more effective than tamoxifen. The current research study describes QSAR modeling and predicting the ADMET parameters of tamoxifen derivatives for the treatment of breast cancer. SPSS software was used for analysis of multiple linear regression and found the pIC50 = -0.059CLogP + 0.759LUMO - 0.011MR + 3.444. Model validation yielded R = 0.921, R² = 0.848 and Q² = 0.651, which suggests high predictability. The most important characteristic being LUMO energy, the second most important descriptor was followed by CLogP and MR. The ADMET prediction showed high intestinal absorption values (HIA > 90%) and satisfactory permeability over skin. Water solubility was impaired but also low. The metabolism of compounds seemed to predominantly occur via CYP3A4 enzyme. However, LD50 values were of acceptable size, ranging from 324 to 3000 mg/kg (within the safety profile). The findings of this work will thus show help in designing anticancer tamoxifen derivative products with the least toxicity. Additional structural optimization is advocated to achieve maximal therapeutic benefit and least toxicity.

Exploration and Inventory of Ethnobotanical Knowledge of Medicinal Plants in Ternate: Tracing the Traditional Pharmacy Heritage of the Spice Islands
type: item
description: The ethnobotanical wisdom of the Ternate community represents a rich heritage of traditional healing practices that are deeply rooted in the interaction between people and nature. However, the modernization of the healthcare system and cultural shifts have increasingly threatened the continuity of this indigenous knowledge. This study aimed to explore and inventory the ethnobotanical knowledge of medicinal plants traditionally used in the Ternate region as part of an effort to preserve the traditional pharmacy legacy of the Spice Islands. Data were collected through field-observations, semi-structured interviews with traditional healers, local residents, and plant specimen documentation. A purposive sample of 29 traditional healers was recruited for this study, based on their presumed expertise in medicinal plant knowledge. The study identified 70 medicinal plant species belonging to 40 families, which are empirically used to treat common ailments such as fever, digestive disorders, wounds, insomnia, diabetes mellitus, and urinary stones. Leaves were the most frequently used plant part (approximately 64%) followed by roots and barks, with decocting being the dominant preparation method. Several endemic species have demonstrated pharmacological potential, consistent with findings in contemporary scientific literature, indicating promising opportunities for bioprospecting. This research highlights that preserving ethnobotanical knowledge is not merely a cultural duty but also a scientific imperative for sustainable natural product development rooted in Ternate’s local wisdom.

Comparative Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Aceclofenac-Saccharin in Mice Granuloma Model
type: item
description: Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) and suppresses prostaglandin synthesis. Its clinical utility, however, is limited by poor aqueous solubility and low bioavailability. This study evaluates the anti-inflammatory activity of a multicomponent crystal (MC) of aceclofenac with saccharin using a carrageenan-induced granuloma pouch model in mice. Male mice were divided into three groups (n = 3 per group): control, aceclofenac, and aceclofenac-saccharin multicomponent crystal, administered intraperitoneally. Inflammatory response was assessed via exudate volume and TNF-α levels. Both aceclofenac and MC significantly reduced exudate volume and TNF-α compared to the control (p < 0.05), with the MC group showing the greatest reduction. Although not statistically different from aceclofenac in TNF-α suppression, the MC demonstrated superior performance overall. The enhanced efficacy may be attributed to improved solubility and drug delivery. These outcomes support co-crystallization as a promising approach to optimize NSAID therapy.

The Effect of Administration Platycerium bifurcatum (Cav.) C.Chr Extract on Total Bilirubin Levels and Hepatosomatic Index Values of Ethanol-Induced Rats
type: item
description: The Liver is a vital metabolic organ. Liver injury is related to an inflammatory process that increases the hepatosomatic index (HSI). One indicator of liver damage is increased total bilirubin levels (hyperbilirubinemia). Currently, hyperbilirubinemia treatment is still limited to irradiation therapy and exchange transfusions, because there is no pharmacological specific treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of Platycerium bifurcatum (Cav.) C.Chr extract on total bilirubin levels and the hepatosomatic index (HSI) in male white rats. A laboratory-based experimental design was employed using a post-test only control group, involving 35 rats randomly assigned to seven groups: normal control, negative control, positive control (sacatonic active), solvent control (Na CMC), and treatment groups receiving ethanol extract at doses of 50 mg/kgBW, 100 mg/kgBW, and 200 mg/kgBW.The treatment was administered orally for 14 consecutive days. On the final day, all rats (except the normal group) were induced with absolute ethanol at 2 mL/200 gBW. After 12 hours, the animals were euthanized for liver and blood sample collection. Total bilirubin levels were measured, and the hepatosomatic index was calculated. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by LSD post hoc test. The results demonstrated that administration of Platycerium bifurcatum (Cav.) C.Chr extract significantly reduced total bilirubin levels and HSI, particularly at doses of 50 mg/kgBW and 100 mg/kgBW, compared to the negative control group (p<0.05). These findings suggest that Platycerium bifurcatum (Cav.) C.Chr ethanol extract exhibits a hepatoprotective effect by reducing total bilirubin levels and HIS.

Studi Awal: Identifikasi Keragaman Bakteri Saliva Wanita Usia Lanjut Menggunakan Teknologi 16S rRNA Sequencing Oxford Nanopore
type: item
description: The elderly are a population particularly susceptible to diseases resulting from the decline in immune system function. The mouth is one of the areas of the body that is the entry point for microorganisms into the body. It is known that the oral microbiome greatly affects oral and systemic health. The oral bacterial profile is important to understand its role in maintaining health and causing disease. Therefore, maintaining oral health is very important, especially in our study of the elderly. Utilizing advanced sequencing techniques such as Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) offers the opportunity to reveal bacterial diversity comprehensively. This study aims to identify the oral microbiome in a group of elderly women. Knowledge of the oral microbiota profile could help spread awareness of the benefits of maintaining good dental hygiene, especially in older adults. Methods: Seven elderly housewives had their unstimulated saliva samples taken in the morning and kept at -80°C. The phenol-chloroform technique was used to isolate the DNA, and a Qubit Fluorometer was used to measure purity and concentration. By employing ONT for 16S rRNA sequencing and Epi2Me software for analysis, taxonomic mapping of the bacterial diversity was accomplished. Results: According to the taxonomic analysis, Streptococcus and Veillonella were the most common genera in the samples. It was common to find species like Veillonella parvula, Veillonella atypica, Streptococcus mitis, and Streptococcus rubneri. These genera contributed to the dynamics of oral biofilms by exhibiting complex ecological interactions. With advanced sequencing technologies, this work highlights the diversity of oral bacteria in elderly women in Indonesia while providing a new perspective. Notwithstanding a few limitations, these findings provide insight into the ecological dynamics of the oral microbiota, potentially leading to clinical applications in the treatment and prevention of disease.

Formulation and Antioxidant Evaluation of Clay Masks Containing Robusta Coffee Pulp Extract
type: item
description: The pulp of robusta coffee (Coffea canephora L.) is known to contain chlorogenic acid compounds that have potential as antioxidants. The content of this compound can be utilized as an active ingredient in cosmetics such as clay masks. The main component that affects the physical properties of a clay mask is the clay base. This study aims to develop a clay mask formulation from robusta coffee pulp extract with variations in the concentration of base combinations, namely bentonite and kaolin, and to observe their effects on the physical properties of the dosage form. The base concentration variations used were 20% (F1), 25% (F2), and 30% (F3) with a bentonite to kaolin ratio of 1:2. The evaluation of physical properties included organoleptic tests, homogeneity tests, pH tests, spreadability tests, adhesion tests, viscosity tests, and drying time measurements. The evaluation results showed that all clay masks were homogeneous with pH values ranging from 5.15 ± 0.04 to 5.29 ± 0.12, spreadability values of 4.60 ± 0.22 to 4.74 ± 0.37 cm, adhesion values of 0.82 ± 0.11 to 1.16 ± 0.15 seconds, and viscosity ranged from 5501 ± 670.22 to 7567.67 ± 220.30 mPa.s, and drying time ranged from 20.60 ± 0.39 to 25.34 ± 0.80 minutes. Results of the antioxidant activity test indicated that the clay mask made from robusta coffee pulp extract is a powerful antioxidant with IC50 values of 28.31 ± 4.72 to 30.45 ± 5.69 ppm.

Pengaruh Beberapa Jenis Praperlakuan Terhadap Peningkatan Rendemen Hidrodistilasi Minyak Atsiri Gaharu
type: item
description: Agarwood essential oil (minyak atsiri gaharu or minyak gaharu) has the potential to be developed as aromatherapy to help reduce stress, but its availability in nature is not abundant, so effective efforts are needed to get optimal results. Although various pretreatments before hydrodistillation are known to enhance the yield of agarwood oil, no comparative study using the same sample has been reported to date. This research aims to compare the yield and profile of agarwood oil compounds obtained from maceration, microwave, ultrasonic and fermentation using ragi tapai and ragi tempe pretreatments. The research was carried out by pretreatment extraction, distillation of agarwood powder, identification of essential oil compounds via Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), and hedonic tests. The distillation results showed that pretreatment yeast tapai fermentation had the highest percentage yield of agarwood oil at 0.050% followed by Fusarium sp fermentation. (0.036%), ultrasonic (0.034%), microwave (0.030%), maceration (0.024%), control (0.018%) and ragi tempe (0.002%). Six compounds were consistently found in each sample, such as α-agarofuran, neoisolongifolene, α-santalol, δ-guaiene, dihydrocolumellarin, and hexadecanoic acid. The most sesquiterpene compounds were obtained from pretreatment using tempeh yeast. Based on the research results, it is known that maceration, microwave, ultrasonic and fermentation pretreatments can increase the yield and influence the compound profile of agarwood oil.

Impact of National Antibiotic Guideline Implementation on Meropenem Utilization in a Teaching Hospital in Bengkulu, Indonesia
type: item
description: The World Health Organization (WHO) classified antibiotics into the AWaRe categories to encourage rational prescribing and reduce inappropriate use of broad-spectrum agents. Indonesia adopted this framework through the National Antibiotic Guideline outlined in Ministry of Health Regulation No. 28/2021, which strengthened antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) efforts in hospitals. Although WHO categorized meropenem in the Watch group, the national guideline reclassified it as a Reserve antibiotic, highlighting its critical role as a last-line treatment for multidrug-resistant infections and the need for strict oversight. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the guideline’s implementation on meropenem utilization in a teaching hospital and assess its position within the Drug Utilization 90% (DU90%) segment from 2020 to 2022. Using a cross-sectional design, aggregated inpatient antibiotic consumption data were analyzed across pre-intervention (May 2020–August 2021) and post-intervention (September 2021–December 2022) periods. Antibiotic use was quantified using Defined Daily Doses per 100 patient-days (DDD/100 PD) according to the ATC/DDD methodology, and DU90% analysis was applied to identify antibiotics accounting for 90% of total consumption. Meropenem showed a significant 43% reduction in the DDD/100 PD score during the post-intervention period (t = 4.427; p < 0.05), suggesting that the guideline contributed to a more controlled, optimized use of this high-priority antibiotic. However, meropenem consistently remained within the DU90% segment throughout the three years, indicating that despite reduced utilization, it continued to account for a substantial proportion of antibiotic use in the hospital. These findings underscored the importance of sustained AMS implementation and strict regulatory adherence to preserve meropenem effectiveness and mitigate the risk of antimicrobial resistance.

The Effect of Gelatin and Propylene Glycol on the Penetration Rate of Asiaticoside from Centella asiatica (L.) Urb Leaf Extract Geleaf Extract Gel
type: item
description: Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. is a plant known for its potential in scar treatment due to the presence of asiaticoside, a compound capable of promoting skin cell tissue repair. However, the large molecular size of asiaticoside hinders its penetration through the skin. This study aims to evaluate the effect of gelatin and propylene glycol on the transdermal penetration of asiaticoside from a gel formulation containing Centella asiatica leaf extract. Four different formulations were tested: a control (F1, without gelatin or propylene glycol); one with 15% propylene glycol (F2); one with 4% gelatin (F3); and one with 4% gelatin and 15% propylene glycol (F4). The physical characteristics of the formulations were assessed using several parameters: organoleptic properties, pH, homogeneity, centrifugation, spreadability, viscosity, and rheological behaviour. Penetration studies were performed using a Franz Diffusion Cell with a Whatman No. 1 membrane (pre-coated with Spangler solution) for 360 minutes. The penetration data were analyzed using Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) with a C18 BEH column (2.1 × 50 mm; 1.8 μm particle size). The results showed that each formulation exhibited distinct characteristics. The study findings indicated that both gelatin and propylene glycol, as well as their combination, significantly influenced the penetration of asiaticoside in the gel formulation. Propylene glycol, functioning as a penetration enhancer, was found to increase the penetration of asiaticoside in both gelatin-based and liquid formulations.

Optimasi dan Evaluasi Mikroemulsi Minyak Prepupa Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens)
type: item
description: Hermetia illucens, commonly known as the Black Soldier Fly (BSF), is an insect rich in fatty acids and has potential for use as an active cosmetic ingredient, particularly for anti-aging applications. To ensure stability and achieve optimal efficacy, BSF prepupal oil was formulated into a microemulsion system. This study aimed to optimize the microemulsion formulation of BSF prepupal oil using a combination of Tween 80 as a surfactant and PEG 400, Pluronic 127, and ethanol as candidate of cosurfactants, and to evaluate its physicochemical characteristics and stability. The formulation process began with the selection of an appropriate surfactant–cosurfactant combination, followed by optimization of the selected surfactant–cosurfactant concentrations using the Simple Lattice Design method in Design Expert® 13 software. The optimized formulations were then evaluated for organoleptic properties, pH, viscosity, transmittance, globule size, and stability through temperature cycling and centrifugation tests. The results showed that the combination of Tween 80 and PEG 400 produced a stable microemulsion with high clarity. The optimal formulation (F12) consisted of 55.56% Tween 80, 22.22% PEG 400, and 11.11% BSF prepupal oil, exhibiting a transmittance of 98.30 ± 0.26%, a pH range of 5.19–5.70, a viscosity of 375 ± 0.54 cP, and a globule size of 550.71 ± 0.32 nm. This formulation remained stable under thermal stress and accelerated centrifugation without phase separation. Based on these findings, BSF prepupal oil can be effectively formulated into a stable microemulsion and shows potential for further development as an active cosmetic ingredient.

title: Extraction of Polyphenol From Turmeric (Curcuma longa), Red Ginger (Zingiber officinale), and Aromatic Ginger (Kaempfeiria galanga l) Using Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent Based On Choline Chloride and Sugar
description: Indonesia is a tropical country rich in biodiversity, including a wide variety of herbal plants. Herbs and spices are abundant in Indonesia and have been used in local customs since ancient times. Turmeric, ginger, and curcuma are rhizomes used as spices in Indonesian cooking and natural medicine. This study investigates the efficiency of natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) synthesized from choline chloride and various sugars—fructose, glucose, maltose, and xylose in extracting polyphenolic compounds from Indonesian rhizomes: turmeric (Curcuma longa), red ginger (Zingiber officinale), and aromatic ginger (Kaempferia galanga L). The NADES were prepared using choline chloride as hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA). The hydrogen bond donor (HBD) is a sugar such as fructose, xylose, maltose, and glucose. The total phenolic content (TPC) was quantified and reported in mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g extract. Kaempferia galanga exhibited the highest TPC among the rhizomes, reaching 32.21 mg GAE/g when extracted with ChCl–Fructose NADES. Curcuma longa and Zingiber officinale yield 20.05 mg GAE/g and 25.84 mg GAE/g under the same solvent conditions, respectively. When comparing the performance of the solvents, the following order was observed: ChCl–Fr > ChCl–Xyl > ChCl–Mal > ChCl–Glu. These findings suggest that solvent polarity and hydrogen bonding capacity significantly influence polyphenol solubility and extraction efficiency. NADES based on ChCl–Fructose showed the greatest potential for eco-friendly extraction of bioactive phenolics from medicinal rhizomes.

type: item
description: Pometia pinnata fruit peel extract contains secondary metabolites, such as tannins, saponins, and flavonoids, which demonstrate both antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Despite the potential identified in matoa fruit peel, its utilization remains constrained. Consequently, there is a necessity for innovative approaches to unlock its latent capabilities. Universal desires for skin health and beauty exist among individuals. Nonetheless, various factors contribute to facial skin issues, including exposure to free radicals during outdoor activities. Recently, sheet masks have gained popularity as a hygiene and efficient method for facial care. Therefore, this study aims to incorporate matoa fruit peel as an active component in sheet masks. These masks will be formulated and subjected to tests measuring antioxidant activity using the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method, as well as antibacterial activity through the disc diffusion method to assess inhibition zones against Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. The assessment encompasses organoleptic tests, pH measurement, homogeneity, and stability. Findings from the study reveal that the sheet mask formulation is slightly viscous, possessing a distinctive odor and a light brown color. The pH of the sheet mask formulation ranges between 5.3 and 5.15. The formulation exhibits homogeneity at both 3°C and room temperature. Stability is maintained with no observable changes in color, odor, or consistency at 3°C and room temperature. Additionally, there were no reported irritations by the 12 volunteers during the skin irritation test. Antioxidant testing demonstrates high activity, with inhibition percentages of 74.47% (1:1) and 42.68% (0.5:1). In contrast, antibacterial testing indicates moderate efficacy, with an inhibition zone of 5.8667 mm. The research affirms that the matoa fruit peel extract formulated in the sheet mask exhibits both antioxidant and antibacterial properties suitable for addressing acne in facia…

Comparative Utility of Doxorubicin, Cyclophosphamide, and Docetaxel in Breast Cancer Treatment in West Sumatera.
type: item
description: The large number of breast cancer cases in Indonesia and the high cost of treatment cause the need for utility analysis. West Sumatra province ranks second with the highest prevalence of breast cancer in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the quality of life of breast cancer patients at the national referral hospital Dr. M. Djamil, West Sumatra, who underwent chemotherapy. This study used a cross-sectional design from January to April 2024. Data collection was done prospectively by filling out questionnaires at the Chemotherapy Unit. Utility value was obtained from filling out a questionnaire with the EQ-5D-5L instrument. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The data obtained was 47 respondents who received Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide chemotherapy regimen (24 respondents) and a Docetaxel chemotherapy regimen (23 respondents), all of whom met the inclusion criteria in this study. The average utility value obtained for the doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide regimes is 0.637, and the average utility value for the docetaxel regimen is 0.704. Age did not affect utility (p>0.05), while recent education, occupation, and patient origin affected utility (p<0.05). Both regimens provided similar perceived quality of life and overall health status as measured by utility and VAS scores, suggesting comparable patient-reported quality of life outcomes between these chemotherapy treatments.

A retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study of Oral Dosage Form Administered in The Form of Suspension to ICU Patients at Hospital X
type: item
description: Patients in the intensive care unit were often very sick and had lost consciousness. Because they had trouble swallowing, individuals with reduced awareness frequently depended on enteral tubes (NGT) for their daily medical and nutritional requirements. Since not all medications were accessible in parenteral forms, patients who relied on enteral tubes often had issues, including drug stability. Many problems arose in clinical usage when the medication was crushed or suspended and put into the NGT, including drug obstruction in the enteral tube and a reduction in drug stability as a result of the dose form being altered, making the drug unstable. Thus, this study aimed to ascertain the stability of oral suspension medications given to intensive care unit patients. The medical records of intensive care unit patients who had received oral medication therapy at X Hospital in Jakarta were examined retrospectively using a cross-sectional, descriptive approach. According to the statistics, coated tablets accounted for 68% of the most frequently used oral medication preparations. It was highly likely that crushing the coated tablets and administering them via NGT had resulted in tube obstruction. Additionally, 59.26% of the medications used had exhibited hygroscopic qualities, and several had been readily hydrolyzed. Based on these findings, it was concluded that oral medications, particularly crushed-coated tablets, could negatively affect drug stability. Active substances with hygroscopic properties and those prone to hydrolysis were also identified as potential contributors to instability.
