Gambaran Histopatologik Testis Tikus Wistar (Rattus Norvegicus) Setelah Pemberian Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

: Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a sodium salt from glutamic acid which is currently very popular to be used as a food flavoring ingredient to stimulate appetite. The objective of the study to discover the histologic findings of wistar rats\u27 testicles after MSG administration. This was an experimental laboratoric study, using 20 wistar rats that has been divided into 4 groups. The negative control group is given standard pallet and drinking water for 40 days; it devided to 2 smaller groups, K1 and K2, each of the group was terminated on the 21st and 41st day. The intervention group was given MSG according to average consumption dose in Indonesia; it devided to two smaller groups, P1 and P2, each group was terminated on the 21st and 41st day. The result showed on group K1 and K2, a normal finding of seminiferous tubules, spermatogenic cell layer arrays, and interstitial cell density was found. On group P1, showed seminiferous tubules with decrease of spermatogenic cells development, causing the tubules compartment to appear vacant; the spermatogonia layers appeared sparse on basal membrane, and fewer interstitial cells. On group P2, the findings were not of much difference with group P1, but in this group, one testicle specimen showed calcification cells inside its seminiferous tubules was found. Conclusion: Administration of MSG according to average consumption dose in Indonesia causes decrease of seminiferous tubules\u27 diameter and decrease of the number of spermatogenic cells and interstitial cells

Pengaruh Pemberian Ekstrak Lengkuas (Alpinia Galanga) Terhadap Gambaran Histologik Payudara Mencit (Mus Musculus) Yang Diinduksi Benzo(a)pyrene

: Galangal (Alpinia galanga) is one of the plants that is often used for cancer therapy. Galangal contains different active ingredients, one of which is 1 'acetoxy chavicol acetate (ACA) which serves as an anticancer through its action as an anti-inflammatory agent, induction of apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation. Benzo(a)pyrenes (BAP) are five-ringed Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), a group of mutagenic and carcinogenic organic compounds. This study aimed to determine the effect of galangal extract on histological features of mice's breast induced by benzo(a)pyrene. This was an experimental laboratory study using mice as experimental animals. Subjects were 15 mice, divided into negative control group (5 mice) and two treatment groups (5 mice each). All mice were fed with standard pellet throughout the experiment. Mice in group A (negative control) received no treatment; mice in group B were administered with benzo(a)pyrene for 14 days then were given no treatment for the next 14 days; and mice in group C were induced by benzo(a)pyrene and were given galangal extract for 14 days then were given no treatment for the next 14 days. The result of this study revealed changes in mice breast histological features in the form of hyperplasia of cuboid epithelial cells of lactiferous ducts in group B and C, however the manifestation in group C was less pronounced than that was seen in group B. Conclusion: Oral administration of galangal extract subcutaneously was able to inhibit the cuboidal ductal lactiferious epithelial cell hyperplasia of mice breast induced by benzo(a)pyrene

: Wound healing can be assisted by modern and traditional medicine. Banana stem sap is often used as a herbal remedy for wounds. The sap of banana stem contains saponins, flavonoids, anthraquinone, quinone, lectin, and tannins that are expected to promote wound healing. This study was aimed to determine the effect of banana stem sap on incised wound of the skin of Wistar rats. This was an experimental laboratory study. A total of 21 Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) were used in this study; one was used to obtain a normal skin sample, and the others were divided into control groups (A1 and B1) and treated groups (A2 and B2), five rats in each group. A 1-cm-skin incision was made on the back of each rat in all groups. The wounds of group A1 and B1 were untreated. In group A2 and B2, the wounds were applied with 0,5 ml of banana stem sap (Musa paradisiaca var. sapientum L. Kuntze. AAB) twice a day. Macroscopic and microscopic examinations of the wounds were performed on day-5 (group A1 and A2) and day-14 (group B1 and B2). The results showed that, either macroscopically (wound area and crusting) or microscopically (crust, reepithelization, angiogenesis, proliferation of fibrous tissue and inflammatory cells), group A2 and B2 exhibited better wound healing compared with group A1 and B1. Conclusion: Better wound healing process in Wistar rats treated with banana stem sap on their insiced wounds compared to those that were untreated indicates that banana stem sap play distinct roles in promoting wound healing

Pengaruh Pemberian Minyak Kanola Terhadap Gambaran Histopatologik Aorta Dan Kadar Kolesterol Tikus Wistar Dengan Diet Tinggi Lemak

: Canola oil is a source of vegetable oils which contains high unsaturated fats that can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, especially atherosclerosis. One of the trigger factors of atherosclerosis is hypercholesterolemia. This study aimed to evaluate the histopathological features of aorta and the levels of LDL and HDL cholesterols in Wistar rats fed with high fat diet and canola oil. There were 20 Wistar rats in this study, divided into four groups: group A, the negative control; group B with high-fat diet (1 ml lard and 1 ml yolk daily); group C with high-fat diet and 0.1 ml of canola oil daily; and group D with high-fat diet and simvastatin 0.2 mg daily. The results showed elevated levels of LDL and HDL cholesterols in the treated groups compared to the control group. The histopathological features revealed many foam cells in the aorta wall (intima and media layers) of group B, whereas group C had fewer foam cells. No foam cells were found in group D. Conclusion: Although the mean LDL and HDL cholesterol levels of all treated groups were higher than of the control group, canola oil could reduce foam cell formation

Pengaruh Pemberian Ekstrak Daun Cengkeh (Syzygium Aromaticum) Terhadap Gambaran Histopatologik Hati Tikus Wistar Yang Diberikan Parasetamol Dosis Toksik

: Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) contains eugenol, a phenolic compound, which has been suggested to possess antioxidant activity. This compound is suspected to be able to minimize damage to the liver cells caused by drugs such as paracetamol. This study aimed to observe the effects of clove leaf extract on histopathological features of Wistar rat liver tissue induced with toxic doses of paracetamol. This was an experimental laboratory study. Subjects were 24 male Wistar rats. The dose of clove leaf extract was 200 mg/day (single dose) and of paracetamol 50 mg/day (single dose) orally. Group A (negative control) was given no treatment for 14 days. Group B was given paracetamol for 14 days. Group C was given clove leaf extract for 7 days and then added with paracetamol for 7 days. Group D was given clove leaf extract and paracetamol simultaneously for 14 days. Group A showed normal histological feature of liver cells. Group B showed liver cell damage induced by paracetamol. Group C showed regeneration of liver cells, but there were still some necrosis and fatty liver cells. Group D showed regeneration of liver cells meanwhile cell necrosis was hardly found. Conclusion: Clove leaf extract could improve the histopathological changes of liver tissues of Wistar rats due to administration of paracetamol at toxic dose. This improvement was manifested as better regeneration of liver cells than that of rats not treated with clover leaf extract

Gambaran Histopatologik Payudara Mencit (Mus Musculus) Yang Diinduksi Benzo(α)pyrene Dan Diberikan Ekstrak Kunyit (Curcuma Longa L.)

: Breast cancer (Carcinoma mammae) is one of the most common cancers affecting women. The etiology of breast cancer is still unknown, however, there are several important risk factors linked to the occurence of breast cancer, as follows: genetic, hormonal, and environmental. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PHA) such as benzo(a)pyrene is a carcinogenic agent that can be found in the surrounding environment. It has been proven that benzo(a)pyrene can induce tumors in experimental animal models. Turmeric is a natural biocompound that is often used to treat cancer due to its curcumin contents. Curcumin interacts with a variety of genetic molecules that undergo mutation in cancer. This study aimed to determine the effects of turmeric extract administration on the hispathological features of the breast of mice induced with benzo(a)pyrene. This was an experimental study using 15 female mice weighing 20-30g divided into 3 groups. Group A (negative control) was given standard food for 28 days and terminated on day 29. Group B (treatment I), the breasts were induced with benzo(a)pyrene subcutaneously for 14 days and the mice were terminated on day 29. Group C (treatment II), the breasts were induced with benzo(a)pyrene for 14 days and the mice were given the tumeric extract on day 15-28 and then terminated on day 29. Tissues were stained with hematoxylin eosin. The results showed that Group A had normal microscopic features of breast tissues. Group B showed PMN inflammatory cells, thickening layer of cuboidal epithelial cells surrounding the lactiferous ducts (>4 layers) as well as cells with coarse nucleus chromatin. Although mice in group C still presented the PMN inflammatory cells, their cuboidal epithelial layers were thinner than that of group B (2-3 layers) and the cells contained rough nucleus chromatin. Conclusion: The histopathological features of the breast of benzo(a)pyrene induced mice administered with turmeric extract showed fewer layers of cuboidal epithelial cells with rough nucleus chromatin of the lactiferous duct cells wall compared to those treated with benzo(a)pyrene without turmeric extract
