ABSTRACT Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death after stroke in all age groups at 12.9%. The main reason is the amount of cholesterol in the blood. Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) is a traditional herb that has the potential to lower cholesterol, because it contains flavonoids, saponins, foliphenols, pectin, organic acids, vitamin B and vitamin C that can lower cholesterol. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of tamarind seed powder (Tamarindus indica) on cholesterol levels. This type of research is experimental with pre-test and post-test with control group research design. The population and sample of this study were a group of mice totaling 32 mice. The location of this research was conducted at the Animal Husbandry Center (PUSVETMA). Data collection procedures were carried out by examining the cholesterol levels of mice before and after treatment. The data obtained were followed up with normality test and independent t test. The results of the study using the unpaired t test gave the result of p=0.000 (p<0.05). The conclusion of this study is that there is an effect of seed powder (Tamarindus indica) on cholesterol levels. Keyword : Seeds Tamarindus indica L., cholesterol levels, Mice (Mus musculus)
Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19) is a new type of virus that has never been previously identified in humans. Common signs and symptoms of Covid-19 infection include symptoms of acute respiratory distress such as fever, cough and shortness of breath. C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a protein in serum that causes inflammation in the body. The presence of this inflammatory response causes the levels of CRP in the body to increase significantly. To determine the severity of Covid-19 disease, one of the screening tests used is the CRP examination, starting when clinical symptoms appear, becoming high levels of CRP indicating inflammation or inflammation. This study aims to determine CRP levels in patients who were confirmed positive for Covid-19 at RSU Haji Surabaya. The research method used is descriptive research with secondary data. The sample in the study was 60 patients who had confirmed Covid-19 and performed a CRP test from February to June 2021. The sampling technique used a total sampling technique at the Haji General Hospital Surabaya. The results showed that from 60 confirmed Covid-19 inpatients, 58 patients (96.6%) had CRP levels with high risk criteria or CRP levels > 5 mg/L and 2 patients (3.4%) had CRP levels. with normal criteria or CRP levels < 5 mg/L. Based on the results, it can be concluded that CRP levels are positively correlated with the development and severity of Covid-19 disease.
Activated Partial Thromboplastine Time (APTT) is a type of hemostasis examination with citrate anticoagulant 3.2% ratio 1:9. Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is one of the examination materials for hematology which is often used as an anticoagulant. Apart from EDTA, other types of anticoagulants are sodium citrate and potassium oxalate. The three anticoagulants work to bind calcium ions. The purpose of this examination is to determine the use of various anticoagulants on the quality of the results of the Activated Partial Thromboplastine Time (APCT) examination. The method used in this study is an experimental study with 3 sample groups, each consisting of 9 samples in one group. The SPSS results showed a probability value of 0.000 with the Anova test, the average results of the APTT examination were administration of sodium citrate anticoagulant 25.9 seconds, potassium oxalate 70.92 seconds, and EDTA 37.5 seconds. Based on the results of these studies, there are significant differences related to the use of various anticoagulants on the quality of the results of the Activated Partial Thromboplastine Time (APTT) examination.Keywords : Activated Partial Thromboplastine Time, Antikoagulans,
The screening blood test is a stage that is carried out by each PMI to ensure the safety before blood transfusion. It is usually done on antibodies (Ab) such as anti-HCV, anti-HIV, TPHA or antigen (Ag) such as HBsAg. HBsAg is the outer coat protein of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and a sign that the individual has been infected with the hepatitis B virus. Hepatitis B virus can cause acute problems and even cirrhosis of the liver. One of the screening blood test methods which is used to detect hepatitis B is ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay) method. This research was conducted at UTD PMI Sampang by using the data collection in February 2020, and aimed to find out the overview of HBsAg examination results on the screening blood test using ELISA method based on age and sex. Based on the screening blood test, 9 people (3%) were reactive HBsAg and 345 people (97%) were non-reactive. In the age category, the highest number of reactive HBsAg donors was in the age group of 18-24 years old, that was 4 donors (1.1%), while the highest number of non-reactive HBsAg donors was in the age group of 25-44 years old, that was 184 people ( 51.9%). In the gender category, donors with the most reactive HBsAg results were male, that was 8 people (2.3%) and donors with the highest non-reactive HBsAg results was male, that was 283 people (79.9%). In order to minimize hepatitis B, it is expected that society should avoid activities which can cause hepatitis B infection. Keywords : HBsAg, Blood Transfusion, Screening Blood Test
Abstrak Daging merupakan bahan pangan yang penting dalam memenuhi kebutuhan gizi.Protein pada daging lebih mudah dicerna dibanding protein yang berasal dari tumbuhan (nabati). Daun pepaya merupakan tanaman obat-obatan karena mengandung senyawa alkaloida dan enzim proteolitik, papain, khimopapain, dan lisosom, yang berguna pada proses pencernaan dan mempermudah kerja usus Dalam pepaya terkandung enzim-enzim protease (pengurai protein) yaitu papain dan kimopapain. Kedua enzim ini mempunyai kemampuan menguraikan ikatan- ikatan dalam melekul protein sehingga protein terurai menjadi polipeptida dan dipeptide.Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan di dapatkan hasil sebagai berikut pada tiap sampelnya sampel dengan rendaman daun papaya selama 10 menit memiliki 11 pita protein, sampel rendaman daun papaya selama 20 menit memiliki 16 pita protein dan sampel rendaman daun papaya selama 30 menit memiliki 15 pita protein. Keywords: prifil protein, daging sapi, SDS page, elektroforesis AbstractBeef is an important food ingredient in meeting nutritional needs. Protein in beef is easier to digest than protein from plants (vegetables). Papaya leaf is a medicinal plant because it contains alkaloids and proteolytic enzymes, papain, khimopapain, and lyosomes, which are useful in the digestive process and facilitate the work of the intestines. Papaya contains protease enzymes (protein decomposers), papain and khimopapain. Both of these enzymes have the ability to decompose the bonds in the protein molecule so that the protein breaks down into polypeptides and dipeptides. Based on the research done in getting the following results in each sample, samples marinated with papaya leaf for 10 minutes have 11 protein bands, samples marinated during 20 minutes have 16 protein bands and samples marinated for 30 minutes have 15 protein bands.
