Has conducted research on the effectiveness of various concentrations of noni leaf extract (Morinda citrifolia L.) And red betel leaf (Piper crocatum Ruiz & Pav) the growth inhibition zone of staphylococcus aureus. Inhibition test using paper disc diffusion method. Paper discs soaked in noni leaf extract and red betel leaf for 30 minutes and placed on media that has been spread bacteria staphylococcus aureus and then incubated for 24 hours. The results showed that noni leaf extract and red betel leaves with a concentration of 40%, 60% and 80% affecting large growth inhibition zone of Staphylococcus aureus.
Ethanol extract of leaves and petiole of pegagan (Centella asiatica) is potential as antimicrobial and antifertility. This study was to investigate whether ethanol extracts of leaf and petiole of Centella asiatica has potential as an antimicrobial and can decrease sperm quality and spermatogenic cells of mice. This was a randomized controlled study using Centella asiatica plant from which we made ethanol extract. The extract of the leaves and petiole of Centella asiatica was subjected to antimicrobial test using the bacteria S. aureus, S. epidermidis, and A. aerogenes. Then the observation was done after a 24-hour-old bacterial cultures by measuring the diameter of the clear zone in mm. Thereafter, the extract was given to randomly grouped mice that were divided into two groups receiving the leaf extract in one group and the petiole exract in another for 35 days. On day 36 the mice were sacrificed for spermatozoa quality and testicular histology examination. Statistical analyses used in this study were ANOVA and LSD tests. There was inhibition zone difference between leaf and petiole (p=0.000). Inhibition zone between bacteria S. epidermidis, S. aureus and A. aerogenes showed no difference (p=0.198). Inter-dose inhibition zone showed difference (p=0.000). Centella asiatica leaf extract showed inhibition zone better than that of Centella asiatica petiole extract. In spermatozoa quality test, there was effect of Centella asiatica leaf extract on sperm motility (p<0.05), viability (p<0.05), morphology (p<0.05) and concentration (p<0.05). No effect of pegagan petiole extract was found on sperm motility (p<0.05), viability (p<0.05), abnormal morphology (p<0.05) and concentration (p<0.05). Highest degradation of spermatozoa quality was obtained from Centella asiatica petiole extract at a concentration of 150 mg/kg bw. Spermatogenic cell test results showed no effect of Centella asiatica leaf extract in decreasing spermatogonia (p=0.000), spermatocytes (p=0.000), and spermatids (p=0.000) counts. No effect of pegagan petiole extract in decreasing the number of spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids. The highest reduction spermatogenic cells of seminiferous tubules was obtained by Centella asiatica petiole extract in a concentration of 150 mg/kg bw. In conclusion: Centella asiatica leaf and petiole extract has antimicrobial potency as contra-ceptives
Salah satu cara menanggulangi pertumbuhan penduduk yang tidak terkendali adalah dengan penggunaan kontrasepsi melalui program Keluarga Berencana (KB). Kontrasepsi yang beredar kebanyakan merupakan kontrasepsi sintetis yang memiliki risiko terhadap kesehatan pemakainya. Alternatif lain yang dapat digunakan sebagai kontrasepsi dengan efek samping tidak berbahaya yaitu memanfaatkan tanaman obat yang mengandung senyawa antifertilitas. Beberapa tanaman yang mengandung senyawa antifertilitas yaitu srikaya (Annona squamosa L.) dan pacing (Costus speciosus (Koen.). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh ekstrak rimpang pacing dan daun srikaya terhadap jumlah folikel tersier dan folikel de graff pada mencit betina. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimental menggunakan Metode analisis uji F (anova) satu arah dengan percobaan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL). Penurunan jumlah folikel tersier terbaik adalah pada pemberian ekstrak daun srikaya pada dosis 250 mg/kg BB. Pada folikel de graff, perlakuan terbaik adalah pada pemberian ekstrak daun srikaya dosis 250 mg/kg BB dan pemberian ekstrak kombinasi ekstrak rimpang pacing dan daun srikaya yaitu pada pemberian dosis 125:125 mg/kg BB. Penurunan jumlah folikel tersier dan folikel de graff juga dapat disebabkan karena adanya kandungan bahan aktif yang ada didalam rimpang pacing dan daun srikaya. Penurunan jumlah folikel pada tiap-tiap perlakuan juga dipengaruhi banyaknya dosis yang diberikan sehingga semakin banyak jumlah dosis yang diberikan, maka semakin sedikit jumlah folikel yang terbentuk.
ABSTRAKEscherichia coli (E. coli) motility (p=0.499), vitality (p=0.817) and morphology (p=0.176); between control and transuretral infection groups in motility (p=0.000), vitality (p=0.000) and morphology (p=0.000); and between control and both treatment groups in motility (p=0.001), vitality (p=0,000) and morphology (p=0.000
Escherichia coli (E. coli), a major cause of male genital tract infections, is asymptomatic and may result in male infertility. We have succeeded in isolating and characterizing proteins of E. Pili coli isolates from semen of infertile men who function as adhesin with a molecular weight (MW) 32.2 kDa. This study aims to prove the ability of IgG results adhesion proteins induced pili of E. MW coli 32.2 kDa as opsonin to determine the value of the activity and phagocytic capacity and as an anti- adhesion by calculating the average number of E. coli that attached to human spermatozoa. E. coli infertile men's semen were cultured using standard bacteriology. Peritoneal macrophages were isolated from mice. Spermatozoa from donors were prepared using Sil with Select Plus. IgG was obtained from mice immunized with (1) PBS (control), (2) E. coli pili adhesion protein isolated from infertile men semen with MW of 32.2 kDa and (3) weakened E. coli isolated from infertile men's semen. Phagocytic activity value was determined by counting the number of cells activated macrophage phagocytosis process in 100 cells. Phagocytic capacity value was determined by counting the number of bacteria ingested by 25 macrophages. Anti-adhesion test was done by counting the number of bacteria attached to 100 spermatozoa. The results of this study showed difference (p=0.000) in phagocytic activity and phagocytic capacity (p=0.000) between treatment (1) and (2), and between treatment (1) to (3). However, treatment (2) and (3) did not differ neither in phagocytic activity (p=0.693) nor in phagocytosis capacity (p=0.125). Anti-adhesion test produces difference (p=0.000) in the number of E. coli that attached to human spermatozoa between treatments (1) and treatment (2), and between treatments (1) and (3). The number of E. coli that attached to human spermatozoa between treatment (2) and treatment (3) was not significantly different (p=0.371). In conclusion, IgG from the induction of E. coli pili adhesion protein of infertile men semen isolates with MW of 32.2 kDa can increase phagocytic activity and capacity as well as serve as an anti- adhesion. Thus, IgG from the induction of E. coli pili adhesion protein of infertile men semen isolates with MW of 32.2 kDa is protective against in vitro E. coli infection, so that it can be used as material to prevent male reproductive tract infections due to E. coli.
