AIM: The aim of this study was to explore the effect of n-hexane fraction of Enhydra fluctuans aerial on kidney function in alloxan induced diabetic rats. METHODS: Five groups of diabetic Wistar rats were studied: Group 1 was given 0.5% Na-CMC (G0), group 2 was given glibenclamide 0.45 mg/kg (G1), groups 3, 4, and 5 were given a dose of n-hexane fraction 57.03, 114.06, and 171.09 mg/kg respectively. The experiment was completed in 21 days. Blood glucose was estimated on day 0 and day 21 of treatment. Histology of kidney, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) was examined. ANOVA was used to evaluate quantitative data, which was then followed by Duncan's new multiple range test (p < 0.05). RESULTS: Our results demonstrate that n-hexane fraction dosages of 57.03 mg/kg and 114,06 mg/kg significantly improved blood glucose profile, BUN, and creatinine in diabetic rats. Moreover, the dosage of 57.03 mg/kg is effective to counteract necrosis and fibrosis of kidney cells. CONCLUSION: Our findings revealed that the administration of the n-hexane fraction of E. fluctuans aerial improved the kidney function of diabetic rats, especially at the dosage of 57.03 mg/kg. Therefore, E. fluctuans can be relied upon to be a drug to prevent the development of diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy.

As an acute infectious disease caused by the paramyxoviridae virus, the disease spreads rapidly into a respiratory tract. Patients may have many serious complications if not monitored and treated promptly. Identifying common measles in young children and contagious in the community, especially in schools, kindergartens and primary schools is something that many people are interested in to master the methods in order to prevent this disease. Measles, although not serious, has serious complications and can be fatal. In addition to vaccinating children, some folk remedies handed down and currently being used to treat measles in Vietnam have proven its effectiveness. Very common herbs that are used for everyday food seem very ordinary but have great roles that we sometimes overlook. The scientific ingredients in herbs are a safe solution for people suffering from viral diseases such as influenza strains, typhus, pimples, dysentery, sore throat, colds. A special thing is that herbs is quite safe and have few side effects like Western medicine antibiotics. There are some medicinal herbs such as ophiopogon japonicus, coriander seed, elsholtzia cristata or eclipta prostrata which can bring a healthier life for everyone in general and children in particular if we know how to apply these herbs in a logical and scientific way. For that purpose, the paper was completed in order to clarify the basic knowledge of measles and the way of using medicinal herbs as a therapy that has been used for a long time in some Asian countries in general and Vietnam in particular.

In this article, the authors illustrate the body concept of a group of traditional Minangkabau healers in West Sumatra. This body concept plays a particular role in the healing methods as it is considered to be the first element that must be learned by students of traditional healers. Furthermore, the researchers link the ideas about the body to specific features of the matrilineal society. The research was conducted in a village community in the interior of West Sumatra. With this approach, the authors intend to give another point of view in the field of Minangkabau studies. It is looked into the body scheme by considering ideas from an anthropology of the body.
