Sehingga teh hijau (Camelia sinensis) dari klon GMB4 dapat dikembangkan sebagai agen terapeutik potensial untuk obesitas dan resistensi insulin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) teh hijau dapat menghambat peningkatan kadar SREBP-1 jaringan adiposa dan resistensi insulin pada tikus galur wistar jantan yang diberi diet tinggi lemak. Penelitian ini dilakukan secara invivo dengan pemeliharaan hewan coba selama 8 minggu yang dibagi dalam lima kelompok perlakuan: (1) kelompok kontrol (-) dengan pemberian diet pakan standart, (2) kelompok kontrol (+) dengan pemberian diet tinggi lemak, (3)Pemberian diet tinggi lemak+EGCG 1mg/kgBB, (4) Pemberian diet tinggi lemak+EGCG 2 mg/kgBB, (5) Pemberian diet tinggi lemak+EGCG 8 mg/kgBB. Pakan tikus diberikan secara oral, sedangkan EGCG per sonde 1 x/hr. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah ELISA untuk kadar insulin dan SREBP-1 jaringan adiposa dan spektrofotometri untuk glukosa darah puasa. EGCG menurunkan lemak viseral, kadar glukosa, kadar SREBP-1 dan resistensi insulin (HOMA-IR) (p<0,05). Penurunan kadar SREBP-1 secara signifikan sebesar 29,85%(p<0,05) pada dosis 8 mg/kgBB, sedangkan HOMA-IR menurun secara signifikan sebesar 33,89% (p<0,05) pada dosis 8 mg/kgBB. Terdapat hubungan antara kadar SREBP-1 dengan resistensi insulin (HOMA-IR) (p<0,05). Hasil penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa EGCG mampu menghambat resistensi insulin yang mungkin melalui penurunan adipo/lipogenesis SREBP-1 jaringan adiposa, dengan bukti adanya penurunan kadar SREBP-1 jaringan adiposa dan lemak viseral.Kata Kunci: EGCG, glukosa, HOMA-IR, insulin, SREBP-1 jaringan adipose, tikus diet tinggi lemak ABSTRACT Consumption of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) of green tea were reported to have much benefit in improving health, such as increased fat oxidation, prevent obesity and improve insulin sensitivity. EGCG of green tea (Camelia sinensis) from GMB4 clone may serve as a potential therapeutic agent for obesity and insulin resistance.This study investigated the effect isolat Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) from green tea inhibit increasing adipose tissue sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1( SREBP-1 ) and insulin resistance in male rats with high fat diet. Wistar male rats were fed a diet high in fat for 2 months from 6-8 weeks of age and determination of the object of research with completely randomized design with five treatments, namely (1) rats with standard feed diet (2) rats with a diet high in fat, (3) rats with high-fat diet + EGCG 1mg/kgBW, (4) rats with high-fat diet + EGCG 2 mg/kgBW, (5) rats with high-fat diet + EGCG

Background:The present study was undertaken to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of Aloe vera against side effect of antituberculosis drug.Material and methods:Twenty-five rats will be divided into five groups, namely the control group (without any treatment), the group of rats treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs, and a group of rats were treated antituberculosis drugs and got Aloe vera extract at a dose of 40; 80; and 120 mg/kg body weight. Antituberculosis drugs are isoniazid and rifampicin a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight.Results:Antituberculosis treated group showed significantly increase levels of TNF-a, the percentage of NK cells and the number of Th17 cells compared with the control group (p < 0.05). All doses of Aloe vera reduce levels of TNF-a compared with the antituberculosis group (p < 0.05), although it has not yet reached levels comparable to the control group (p > 0.05). Aloe vera at first and the third dose lower the number of NK cells compared to the antituberculosis group, although it has not yet reached a significant difference (p > 0.05). The first dose of Aloe vera was significantly decreased the percentage of Th17 cells compared to the antituberculosis drug group (p < 0.05), although it has not yet reached levels comparable to the control group (p > 0.05).Conclusions:It was concluded that administration of Aloe vera can suppress the production of TNF-a and the percentage of Th17 cells as a result of antituberculosis drug administration. Thus, Aloe vera can be a useful alternative to natural materials in the successful treatment of tuberculosis through the inhibition of side effect.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of Citrus aurantifolia and Cinnamomum burmannii extracts (Jermanis) on the number of pancreatic β-cells and levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) in β-cells. Methods: Various doses of a combination of extracts of C. aurantifolia and C. burmannii were given orally to 25 male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) every 2 h for 30 days. Doses of 100, 300 and 500 mg/kg/day C. aurantifolia extract were considered low, medium and high doses, respectively, while, 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg/day C. burmannii extract were considered low, medium and high doses, respectively. LDL and SOD levels in blood serum were analyzed spectrophotometrically. TGF-β expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Pancreatic tissue sections (diameter of a β-cell) were evaluated by light microscopy after hematoxylin and eosin staining. Results: The combination of C. aurantifolia and C. burmannii extracts increased SOD levels, TGF-β expression and the number of β-cells and decreased LDL levels in hyperglycemic rats. The results indicate that the highest doses of C. aurantifolia and C. burmannii increased the number of β-cells in the islets of Langerhans. The combined extracts of C. aurantifolia and C. burmannii significantly affected pancreatic cell regeneration. Conclusion: The combination of C. aurantifolia and C. burmannii extracts may be a promising alternative preventative medicine for management of diabetic complications in patients with hyperglycemia.

This study aims to evaluate the interaction of green tea active compounds with proteins related to mTOR signals. The in silico study uses SEA protein target software, DB strings, and AUTODOCK PYRX 9.5. There are twenty target proteins that can interact with the active compounds of green tea. Of the twenty proteins, only six proteins are connected to the mTOR pathway. Of the six proteins, one that is a regulator of mTOR inhibitors is PKCA. Epigallocatechin has the strongest interaction with PKCA 4ARA (-8 kcal / mol). Cianidanol has the strongest interaction with PKCA 3IW4 (-9.3 kcal / mol). To analyze the involvement of the autophagy, a docking between ULK1 and AMPK was conducted, and there was an interaction between ULK1 and AMPK (bond energy of -1446.11 kcal). For the interaction between mTOR and ULK1, the bond energy is -624.5 kcal. For active green tea compounds, the bonding energy is more positive than the mTOR bond with ULK1. It was concluded that the green tea active ingredient as an inhibitor control against mTOR through PKCA and ULK1-AMPK (autophagy pathway).

Introduction: Aloe vera has anti-bacterial ability against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; however, anti-bacterial study, especially in multidrug resistant strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has not been evaluated yet. This study aims to determine the potential of Aloe vera as an antituberculosis against drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis. Method: Stages of research include the production of ethanol extract of Aloe vera, then testing the phytochemicals (identification of alkaloids, steroids/triterpenoids, anthraquinone, flavonoids, saponins, tannins) and chemical content testing by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The anti-bacterial test for Mycobacterium tuberculosis was performed on the Lowenstein Jensen media. Results: Test results showed the qualitative identification, and TLC contains alkaloids, steroids/triterpenoids, anthraquinone, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. Antioxidant activity against DPPH radical shows an IC50 value of 6927.133 ppm. Test of anti-bacterial activity to Mycobacterium Tuberculosis H37Rv and MDR TB strains HE (resistant to INH and Ethambutol), and SR (resistant to streptomycin and Rifampicin) showed inhibition ranging concentration of 50 mg/mL in all extracts as well as to test the sensitivity, a sensitive start to a concentration of 50 mg/mL in all extracts. Conclusions: Aloe vera contains alkaloids, steroids/triterpenoids, anthraquinone, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins that act as antioxidants and antituberculosis against strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that are not resistant and resistant to anti-tuberculosis drugs.

Objectives: Dysmenorrhea is one of several gynecological issues that occur among women of reproductive age. In addition, it appears as pain that forms in the pelvis or lower abdomen and spreads to the back and thighs. The peripheral blood among women with dysmenorrhea increases the synthesis and the concentration of oxytocin, F2α prostaglandin hormone, vasopressin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα). In this regard, this study aimed to determine the effect of slow-stroke back massage (SSBM) on the levels of β-endorphins, IL-6, TNF-α, and menstrual pain intensity (MPI). Materials and Methods: Based on the aim of the study, the posttest only quasi-experimental method with the control group design approach, pretest-posttest control group approach, and purposive sampling techniques were applied for sample selection. The samples were divided into SSBM and control groups each containing 20 subjects. The numeric rating scale (NRS), β-endorphin, IL-6, and TNFα levels were measured using the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Then, data were analyzed by paired sample t test and independent-samples t test with α ≤ 0.05. Results: The results revealed that SSBM had an effect on the intensity of menstrual pain (P<0.05), and differences were found between β-endorphin levels, IL-6, TNFα, and MPI among SSBM and control (P<0.05) groups. Accordingly, SSBM can stimulate releasing β-endorphin levels and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNFα). Conclusions: In general, SSBM is a nonpharmacological action that is effective in primary dysmenorrhea.

SMU Darul Ulum 1 Peterongan Jombang merupakan sekolah menegah umum yang berada di lingkungan pondok pesantren dimana siswa SMU darul Ulum 1 Peterongan Jombang hampir 95% bertempat tinggal di pondok pesantren. Siswa SMU merupakan remaja antara usia 16 sampai 18 tahun, dimana perkembangan hormonal yang memengaruhi perkembangan fisik, psikologis dan kognitif sedikit banyak menyebabkan remaja mulai menunjukkan ketertarikan pada aktivitas seksual, sehingga masa remaja merupakan masa yang rentan terkena IMS. Mereka jauh dari orang tua yang tidak setiap saat mendapatkan bimbingan dari orang tua tentang kesehatan reproduksi terutama tentang penyakit infeksi menular seksual (IMS). Begitu pula di lingkungan pondok ataupun di sekolah informasi tentang penyakit IMS juga sangat terbatas karena santri/siswa dibatasi dalam penggunaan teknologi informasi. Beberapa Risiko tertular IMS sangat berhubungan dengan perilaku, sehingga edukasi dan counseling merupakan strategi utama dalam upaya pencegahan dan pengendalian IMS. Banyak siswa yang belum mengetahui tentang penyakit IMS dan bahayanya bagi kesehatan reproduksi. Oleh karena itu penulis memfokuskan program pengabdian masyarakat untuk peningkatan pengetahuan para siwa tentang penyakit IMS. Dalam pelaksanaan penyuluhan menggunakan metode cermah dan diskusi. Metode ini selain memberi pengetahuan kepada peserta didik juga memberi kesempatan kepada peserta didik untuk bertanya atau menyampaikan permasalahan yang ditemui berkaitan dengan penyakit IMS. Adapun hasil penyuluhan yang di evaluasi dengan menggunakan kuesioner yang diberikan sebelum dan setelah diberikan penyuluhan terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan siswa SMU Darul Ulum 1 Peterongan tentang penyakit infeksi menular seksual
