This study was undertaken to investigate the antidiabetic and antioxidant of bawang dayak bulbs (Eleutherine palmifolia L., Merr) extract (BDBE) on skeletal muscle cell apoptosis and body weight change in diabetic rat. Single doses alloxan 120 mg/kgBW were administered intraperitoneally to get diabetic rat. Twenty four male Wistar rat of three months old were used in this study. Rat were devided into six groups: negative control group (were not diabetic and treated) (K0), positive control group (were diabetic and treated CMC-Na) (K1), drug control group (were diabetic and administrated metformin as a standard drug) (K2), BDBE dosed 200 (P1), 400 (P2), and 800 mg/kgBW (P3). The treatment was conducted for 14 days. Hypoglycemic effect and body weight measured of all mice was determined at day 7 and 14 of treatment. At the end of research, all of rat were sacrificed and m. gastrocnemius were collected for apoptosis analysis by TUNEL staining and atrophy analysis by Hematoxilin-Eosin staining. The result of this study showed that BDBE decreased skeletal muscle cell apoptosis and mantained the skeletal muscle fiber diameter (atrophy) and body weight change in diabetes rat.
Salmonellosis adalah penyakit infeksi bakteri golongan Salmonella sp. Salmonellosis adalah penyakit yang menular lewat konsumsi produk hewani atau biasa disebut food-borne disease. Infeksi salmonellosis di Indonesia tiap tahun berkisar 600.000-1,3 juta kasus dengan kematian sebanyak 20.000 jiwa. Perkembangan teknologi begitu pesat. Proses edukasi menggunakan berbagai media, salah satunya media audio visual yaitu video animasi. Penyampaian edukasi dengan media video lebih efektif dan efisien dibanding tanpa menggunakan media. Penulis pada penelitian ini melakukan kegiatan pemberian edukasi pencegahan penyakit Salmonellosis secara online melalui video animasi lagu kepada anak-anak dan dilanjutkan dengan pengisian kuisioner. Sebanyak 50 anak dari berbagai campuran tingkat pendidikan sekolah SD,SMP dan SMA di kota Surabaya Provinsi Jawa Timur menjadi peserta. Kegiatan ini mendapat respon yang baik diharapkan setelah menonton video, peserta dapat melakukan kegiatan anjuran kesehatan penyakit Salmonellosis sehingga dapat mengurangi dan mencegah penularan penyakit Toxoplasmosis.
Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) is a term used to describe various causes of lower urinary tract disorders in cats which include idiopathic, urolithiasis, urinary tract infections, anatomical and neurological disorders. Use of commercial feed is one of the causes of Flutd formation. This study was to determine the correlation between commercial feed types and crystal types in the case of FLUTD cats at the Animal Hospital of East Java Province. The sample is primary data obtained directly by collection of fresh urine and through interviews with animal owners. As many as 30 fresh urine samples were sedimented and then observed under a microscope. The results of observations of urine sedimentation with a microscope showed that 16 cats had crystals in their urine. The highest percentage of struvite crystals was 12 cats (40%). Meanwhile, in 14 cats (46.7%) no crystals were found in the urine. It is known that the sensitivity of the urine sedimentation test is 64% and the specificity is 97%. There are different types of crystals in commercial feed with the same brand. the same brand of commercial feed can produce different types of crystals. This is due to many other factors that trigger the formation of crystallization. The urine sedimentation test is very accurate to detect cases of FLUTD and crystals in the urine
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of kecombrang flower extract (Etlingera elatior jack R.M.sm) on the death of Culex quenquefasciatus Say larvae. Experimental animals used were Culex quenquefasciatus Say larvae, amounting to 625 tails. The design used was a randomized complete design with 5 treatments and 5 replications. The five treatments consisted of two test groups, namely the treatment group consisting of concentrations of 5%, 10%, 15%, and the control group consisting of positive control namely abate and negative control namely aquades. Observation of mosquito larvae death was done every 2 hours for 12 hours. The data obtained were analyzed using the one-way ANOVA test and continued with the Duncan test. Based on the results of the one way ANOVA calculation the value of sig.0.00 <0.05 means that there are significant differences between treatments. Duncan test results on the treatment of 10% and 15% kecombrang flower extract have the ability as a larvicide high and equal to positive control (abate). Based on the results of the study it was concluded that the extract of kecombrang flower (Etlingera elatior jack R.M.sm) had the ability to larvae against the Culex quenquefasciatus Say mosquito.
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.
