Moringa oleifera Lam. is ones of the multipurpose plants. All parts of the plants are useful to human life and efficacious as a medicine. Moringa oleifera Lam can grow in the lowlands and highlands to an altitude of 1000 masl. This study was conducted to determine the levels of iron (Fe) in Moringa oleifera Lam leaves that grew at different heights using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) the results shows the amount of iron (Fe) in the lowlands of 14 masl (Wameo Village) is 6.28 mg per 100 g of Moringa leaf, medium plains 58 masl (Kantalai Village) is 5.57 mg per 100 g of sample while in the highlands 318 masl (Kaisabu Subdistrict) is 3.86 mg per 100 g of sample. Factors that influence the amount of iron content in Moringa oleifera Lam leaves are height which further affects the intensity of sunlight, humidity. Other factors can be caused by soil conditions (texture, moisture, nutrient, and pH).
Enzim selulase adalah enzim yang berperan dalam katalisis reaksi hidrolisis selulosa menjadi glukosa. Enzim ini dapat diisolasi dari keong sawah Pila ampullacea menggunakan substrat selulosa alami dari serbuk gergaji kayu.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengisolasi dan menentukan kondisi optimum selulase dari keong sawah. Penelitian diawali dengan persiapan substrat serbuk gergaji dengan cara delignifikasi menggunakan NaOH 2%. Selanjutnya mengisolasi enzim selulase dari hepatopankreas keong sawah melalui teknik destruksi, homogenisasi dan sentrifugasi. Penelitian dilanjutkan untuk memurnikan selulase melalui pengendapan protein selulase menggunakan amonium sulfat (NH4)2SO4 pada berbagai tingkat kejenuhan 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 60%, 80%. Pemurnian tahap berikutnya dilakukan dengan cara dialisis menggunakan membran selofan. Aktivitas selulase diperoleh dengan menghitung kadar glukosa sebagai produk hidrolisis dari substrat selulosa (serbuk gergaji) menggunakan metode Nelson-Somogy, sedangkan kadar protein ditentukan dengan metode Lowry dengan menggunakan bovine serum albumin (BSA) sebagai standar. Enzim selulase dari keong sawah mencapai aktivitas maksimum pada kondisi optimum: konsentrasi substrat (serbuk gergaji) 2% (b/v), pH 5,8, suhu 40 ᵒC, konsentrasi enzim 7,2 mg/mL.

Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition in which blood vessels have persistently elevated pressure. This research method is done by collecting data in the form of secondary data. Secondary data was obtained from the Pharmacy section to find out the data on the number of patient visits. The data taken in the form of age group, gender, type of drug, drug class and drug combination. The results showed that the number of prescriptions obtained from January to June was 174 prescriptions and the highest percentage of drug use in hypertension patients based on gender was 115 prescriptions (66.91%) women, namely in the age group 50 years, 96 prescriptions were used. (83.47%), the use of drugs based on Hypertension drugs that was most widely prescribed was Amlodipine with 144 prescriptions (78.68%), the most prescribed group of Hypertension drugs was Calcium Antagonists with 144 (83.75%) prescriptions The most combined drugs were Amlodipine + Captopril with 18 prescriptions (58.06%)
Background: With current wide range of scientific research regarding the benefits of antioxidants, many has tried to invent new sources of this compound. The use of plant-based source for antioxidants recently become more and more popular, and one of these plants is Binahong (Anredera cordifolia). The leaves of these plant had been analyzed before to contain antioxidant compound. Objective: This research aimed to test, based on previous claim of antioxidant activity of Binahong (Anredera cordifolia) leaves. Methods: The lotion used was formulated using Tween 60 and Span 60 as its emulgator. After test, it was determined that the emulsion type is water in oil (w/o). Before Binahong Leaves extract were incorporated, the lotion was tested for physical stability including organoleptics, emulsion type, pH determination, homogeneity, and viscosity. Results: The analysis for antioxidant activity by DPPH method of Binahong leaves extract with various concentrations of 12,5 μg/mL, 25 μg/mL, 50 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL, 200 μg/mL, 400 μg/mL, yield a value of IC50 822.22 µg/mL (mild antioxidant activity level). This result corroborates previous findings with the same result. Meanwhile, the lotion containing Binahong leaves extract with various concentrations of 25 μg/mL, 50 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL, 200 μg/mL, 400 μg/mL, 800 μg/mL were analyzed with same method and yield a value of IC50 27041.50 µg/mL. Conclusion: The result proved there was a further loss of antioxidant activity after the extract were incorporated into lotion.

This study aimed to find out various herbal plants of Butonese Sub-Ethnic Kalende, in Kapontori sub district, Buton Regency, Sulawesi Tenggara. This study was a descriptive research using qualitative method and snowball sampling technic by interviewed 15 informants using questionnaire. This study had obtained 46 families of 72 habitus of herbal plants and one more that had not been identified yet. The most used herbal plants was from zingiberaceae family. Leaf is the most often used part of the herbal plants with the highest percentage (49%), which was processed by boiling it (43%). Those herbal plants could heal various disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
