There are 316 million people with impaired glucose tolerance at high risk, an alarming number expected to reach 783 million people by 2045. Society's tendency to return to nature is a prospective condition for developing research on biodiversity-based plants. Based on the research results, tamarind leaves are rich in flavonoids, saponins, and tannins, and saffron contains the active compounds crocin, crocetin, and precision, which can be candidates for antioxidants that have a significant effect on blood glucose levels. This antidiabetic research includes research live (test animals) by measuring blood glucose levels. The results showed that tamarind leaf extract and saffron were effective as antidiabetics in male mice induced with Streptozotocin. All extract groups tested single doses of EDAJ, ES, and combination doses of EDAJ and ES ((75:25), (50:50) (25:75)) showed the potential to reduce blood sugar levels >50%. The ES group with a single dose of 100:0 showed significant effectiveness in reducing blood sugar levels from the 6th day until the end of the study. These results are then expected to provide information to the public regarding the potency, effective dose, and working mechanism of using tamarind and saffron as antidiabetics so that they can be a solution to improve the quality of life of diabetes patients, control non-communicable diseases and reduce treatment costs</em>. </p><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><strong><em>Keywords: Crocus sativus, Diabetes mellitus, Mus musculus, Saffron, Tamarind leaf</em></strong><em> </em>

The Prescription screening is useful to prevent omissions information, poor prescribing and inappropriate prescribing. The goal of this study was to screen the completeness of administration of outpatient prescriptions for social security administrator patients in regional public hospital Dr. R.M. Djoelham at Binjai City. This is a observational research with a retrospective descriptive design, and use the purposive sampling. This research was conducted at the General Hospital Pharmacy Installation Dr. R.M. Djoelham City of Binjai. This research was conducted from April-June 2021. The population of this study was the number of patient prescriptions from January 2021 to March 2021, namely 3722 prescriptions. The total sample is 98 recipes.The data analysis used is univariate data analysis. The results of the 98 recipes show the percentage of administration of the Inscriptio reached 68.4% and was incomplete reached 31.6%, on complete Invocatio it reached 100%, on Prescriptio the complete reached 95% and the incomplete reached 5%, the Signatura complete reached 91.84% and incomplete reached 8.16%, on Subscriptio the full one reaches 100%, the complete Pro reaches 58.84% and incomplete reached 41.16%. The conclusion of this study is the percentage of complete recipes reached 67.35% while incomplete reached 32.65%.<strong> </strong>If an incomplete prescription is found, it is hoped that the pharmacy staff will confirm it with the doctor concerned.</em></p><p><em> </em></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p><strong><em>Keyword: Pharmaceutical Installation, Prescription Completeness, Screening</em></strong></p>
Antioxidants are compounds that can inhibit oxidation reactions by binding to free radicals and highly reactive molecules. Bintangur contains saponins, tannins, flavonoids and alkaloids. In the presence of flavonoids, the purpose of this study is to understand the antioxidant activity of ethanol extracts against DPPH free radicals, and the IC50 parameter has the highest antioxidant activity. Use ethanol to macerate Bintangur leaf powder. Analyze the content of secondary metabolites in ethanol extracts. Use a spectrophotometer to test the antioxidant activity of the obtained extract against DPPH free radicals at a wavelength of 517 nm, and determine the IC50 value. Routine was used as a positive control in this study. The results of three repeated studies showed that the IC50 values of the ethanol extract were 65.49 ppm, 65.76 ppm, and 65.76 ppm, respectively. Average IC50 value is 55.67 ppm.
Daun merupakan bagian tanaman yang berfungsi untuk mempertahankan kehidupan, mengingat fungsinya tersebut maka alat ini sering disebut dengan alat vegetatif, pada batasnya terdapat daun berbentuk tunggal dan tersusun dalam bentuk spiral. Daun alpukat disebut daun tidak lengkap karena hanya terdiri dari tangkai dan helaian saja, tanpa upih atau pelepah daun. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk membandingkan formulasi sediaan masker peel off ekstrak daun alpukat berdasarkan studi literatur. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi literatur yaitu penelitian dengan mengumpulkan data dan fakta-fakta, data yang diperoleh dari literatur yang sesuai dengan permasalahan yang akan diteliti. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kandungan dari daun dan biji alpukat seperti saponin, alkaloid, polifenol, quersetin dan flavonoid dapat berkhasiat sebagai antifungi, antijerawat dan antibakteri. Pada jurnal studi literatur pertama dapat diformulasikan sebagai masker peel off, pada jurnal kedua menggunakan berbagai variasi konsentrasi dan dari berbagai konsentrasi tersebut yang diformulasikan sebagai sediaan masker peel off yaitu pada konsentrasi 0,3% dengan daya hambat yang paling besar dan pada jurnal ketiga dengan konsentrasi 12% memiliki waktu mengering paling cepat. Dari penelitiaan ini disimpulkan bahwa ekstrak daun dan biji alpukat dapat digunakan sebagai masker anti jerawat.
