EFFECT OF NAA AND BAP APPLICATION ON THE GROWTH RESPONSES OF Mentha × piperita L.

Mentha × piperita L., also known as peppermint, is a plant with various uses, including medicine, cosmetics, and food. Numerous industries have a high need for peppermint products, but Indonesia is currently unable to meet this demand and should continue to import peppermint. One effort can be made to improve cultivation procedures, and tissue culture becomes one alternative. This research uses shoots as explants with Murashige & Skoog's basic media and growth regulators BAP and NAA. The research was conducted in two phases: six-week initial planting and seven-week subculture. The treatment of BAP 4 mg/L + NAA 0.5 mg/L provides better performance for the number of leaves, and BAP 3 mg/L produced the best response regarding the number of shoots. Furthermore, BAP 1 mg/L + NAA 1 mg/L produced the best response to shoot height and number of leaves, and BAP 3 mg/L + NAA 0.5 mg/L generated the best response to root length. Based on the research, BAP 3 mg/L is the optimal treatment

The Effect of Transcendental Meditation on the Immune Response of Bali Mandara High School Students

Background:Meditation has become an increasingly popular form of alternative medicine. Many studies have been conducted to assess the health benefits of meditation. In particular, Transcendental Meditation (TM) has been shown to be effective in treating psychological disorders, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and high cholesterol. Methods: This study has a total sample of 150 students. The study group consisted of 3 groups; control group, TM group 1 (students who regularly practiced TM for 1 year), TM group 2 (students who regularly practiced TM for 2 years). TM Group consists of 50 students for each group. The control group consisted of 50 students who did not use any relaxation techniques. Total eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes and hematocrit are counted by an automated quantitative hematology analyzer. Results: The results showed high rates of depression, anxiety and stress among the control group compared to the TM 1 and TM 2 groups. The levels of immune cells indicated that the TM 2 group differed significantly from the control group and the TM 1 group on eosinophils, monocytes and hematocrit (P < 0.05), whereas leucocytes, neutrophils, and lymphocytes showed an increase although no significant differences were observed in the TM 2 group (P> 0.05). Furthermore, there was a strong correlation between the immune response cells (leucocytes, lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes, leucocytes, and hematocrit) of the TM group. immune response correlates with increased meditation duration. Conclusion: Based on the results, meditation can help students to reduce depression, anxiety and stress. This study provides information that Transcendental Meditation has health benefits, especially in boosting the immune system. &nbsp

Efektivitas Kombinasi Ekstrak Kayu Manis (Cinnamomum burmannii) dan Mikroalga (Haematococcus pluvialis) sebagai Krim Tabir Surya: Formulasi, Uji In Vitro, dan In Vivo

Indonesia is a tropical country with high intensity of sunlight. Exposure to high ultraviolet rays from sunlight on the skin for a long period of time brings negative impacts such as sunburn, erythema, and skin cancer. Counteracting the negative effects of sun exposure, natural sunscreens that are less toxic such as combination of Cinnamomum burmannii and Haematococcus pluvialis extracts are needed. Cinnamaldehyde as the high active compound in cinnamon extract is able to absorb UV-B rays due to a chromophore group in the form of an aromatic ring conjugated to carbonyl group, along astaxanthin content in the Haematococcus pluvialis which is able to ward off free radicals and has an anti-inflammatory function that the combination will be an effective sunscreen active ingredients. The study aims to develop an oil-in-the-water emulsion-type cream that is added as an active ingredient in a combination of Haematococcus pluvialis and Cinnamomum burmannii extracts to produce a sunscreen cream. The combination extracts was tested in vitro with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer and the SPF value. The cream was physically evaluated including homogeneity, spreadability, adhesion, viscosity, pH, and organoleptic tests as well as in vivo test using mice (Mus muculus). The results indicated that the cream formulas qualified for the physical standards, yet the viscosity value unqualified the standard . The in vitro test showed that the highest SPF value reached SPF 12 for the S2 formula with maximum category. In vivo test showed that the entire formula could protect the skin from exposure to UV-B rays by exoterra lamps

HUBUNGAN ANTARA TINGKAT KECUKUPAN GIZI MIKRO (VITAMIN D, NATRIUM, KALSIUM) DAN STATUS GIZI TERHADAP KEJADIAN PREEKLAMSIA

Latar Belakang. Tingkat kecukupan vitamin D dapat membantu mengurangi kejadian hipertensi atau preeklamsia. Kekurangan kalsium, serum, dan seng dapat menjadi salah satu faktor risiko preeklamsia dibandingkan pada wanita hamil yang sehat. Beberapa ahli menyampaikan bahwa status gizi juga sering dikaitkan dengan kejadian preeklamsia. Tujuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji hubungan tingkat kecukupan zat gizi mikro dan status gizi terhadap kejadian preeklamsia pada ibu hamil. Metode. Penelitian ini mengunakan desain cross-sectional. Rancangan dipilih secara simple random sampling sebanyak 71 responden. Analisis data menggunakan chi-square. Hasil. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kecukupan vitamin D (80,3%), natrium (46,5%), dan kalsium (78,9%). Tidak terdapat hubungan antara tingkat kecukupan zat gizi mikro dengan kejadian preeklamsia pada ibu hamil (p>0,05) dan sebagian besar responden dengan status gizi lebih (40,8%). Terdapat hubungan antara status gizi dengan kejadian preeklamsia pada ibu hamil (p<0,05). Kesimpulan. Dari hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan, dapat disimpulkan tidak ada hubungan asupan gizi mikro terhadap kejadian preeklamsia pada ibu hamil. Akan tetapi kemungkinan disebabkan faktor risiko lain yang tidak dianalisis dalam penelitian ini. Status gizi lebih mempunyai hubungan dengan kejadian preeklamsia pada ibu hamil. Hasil penelitian tersebut membuktikan bahwa ibu hamil dengan status gizi lebih, lebih berisiko dibandingkan dengan ibu hamil dengan status gizi normal
