Keamanan Penggunaan Ekstrak Etanol Singawalang (Petiveria alliacea) Pada Fungsi Ginjal Mencit

Diabetes mellitus is a disease caused by multiple genetic faclors. Extract ethanol of singawalang leaves (Petiveia alliacea) have been used empirically for treatment of diabetes. Until now, there is a little evidence base about a safety of the extract ethanol of singawalang leaves. The aim of this study was to determine the sub-acute toxicity of the Extract ethanol of singawalang leaves on renal function of mice . This research is an experimental study with a completely randomized design. Thirty- two male mice (Mus musculus) were divided into four groups . The first group was the group that given the ethanol extract singawalang leaves at a dose of 90 mg/kgbw, the semnd group was the group that given the ethanol extract singawalang leaves at a dose of 180 mg/kgbw, the third group was the group that given the ethanol extract singawalang leaves at a dose 360 mg/kgbw and the fourth group was a control group that were given distilled water. The ethanol extract singawalang leaves were administered orally, once daily for 21 days. On the day 22th , mice were euthanized and blood have been taken. Blood levels of urea nitrogen and serum creatinine were evaluated. Data were analyzed by Kruskal Wallis . The results have been showed that the mean levels of urea nitrogen in the first group was 19.25 mg/dL , second group was 18.83 mg/dl , third group was 18.37 mg/dl and in the control group was 16.50 mg/dl . The mean levels of serum creatinine in the first group was 0.31 mg/dl, semnd group was 0.32 mg/dl, third group was 0.29 mg/dl and in the control group was 0.29 mg/ dL. The statistical tests have been found that there was no significant difference between control and treatment groups both at the levels of urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels. The ethanol extract of Petiveria alliacea al a dose of 90 mg/kg , 180 mg/kg , 360 mg/kg did not affect renal function of mice

Formulation and characterizations of self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system of extract petiveria alliacea (Singawalang) Leaves

Objective: Formulation of Singawalang leaves extract should be considered because the extract contains a variety of compounds so that there may be a competitor in the absorption process and will cause the absorption of active ingredients in the gastrointestinal decline. One way to increase the absorption and disposition of active ingredients on target organs is to use a nanoparticle formulation. Therefore, this study will conduct research on self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) formulation of Singawalang (Petiveria alliacea) leaves extract. Methods: The systems were developed by investigating the solubility Singawalang leaves extract in various carrier oil, the suitable surfactant, and cosurfactant, construction of SNEDDS of Singawalang leaves extract and characterization of droplet size through particle size analyzer and transmission electron microscopy. Results: The results of this study indicate that the optimum carrier oils for Singawalang leave extract are miglitol and virgin coconut oil (VCO), the compatible surfactant component is tween 80 and the compatible cosurfactant is propylene glycol (PG). The average droplet size is 13 nm and polydisperse index 0,004 and 0,006. Conclusion: It can be concluded, the present study demonstrated that the optimum SNEDDS formulations of Singawalang leave extract are the mixture of VCO, tween 80, PG at ratio 1:8:1 and miglitol, tween 80, and PG at ratio 2:5:3

8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine Urine and Total Nitric Oxide Serum in Chronic Kidney Disease

Oxidative stress is essential to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Several markers include 8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and Nitric Oxide (NO). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS) increased in CKD and had a role in renal impairment progressivity. There are some controversies regarding oxidative markers in CKD patients in several studies. This study aimed to understand oxidative markers 8-OHdG and NO and explained the correlation of both markers in hemodialysis and non-hemodialysis CKD patients. Twenty hemodialysis patients and forty-nine non-hemodialysis patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Urine patients were collected to measure 8-OHdG using the enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) method, and NO was measured from serum patients using the Griss Saltzman method. Based on Bivariate Pearson analysis, there was no significant correlation between 8-OHdG urine and total NO serum in the hemodialysis group (p= 0,510, p>0.05) and in the non-hemodialysis group (p= 0.801, p>0,05). In this study, DNA oxidative marker, 8-OHdG, was not correlated with NO in CKD patients

Level of IFN-gamma and lnterleukin-10 ln Tuberculosis Rat Models After Administration of Centell asiatica Extract

Evidence based of centello asiatica as immunomodulator in tuberculosis diseases are unclear Therefore, the further research of centello asiatica as immunomodulator are necessary, through measuring the level of IFN-gamma and lnterleukin-10. Twenty eight male rats infected with Mycoboctetium tuberculosis through intratrachea. After 29 days post infection, rats were divided randomly into four groups.Groups 1,2,and 3 were groups that obtained the ethanol extract of centello asiatica at 375 mg / kgBW, 75O mg /kgBW and l5OO mg / kgBW, during 14 days, per oral and fourth group was the control group that obtained only vehicle. The measurement of IFN-gamma and lnterleukin-10 level were performed by ELISA on the day 15th . The results have shown that the highest mean level of IFN-gamma and The lowest mean level of lnterleukin-10 is the group that obtained the ethanol extract of Centella asiatica at l50 mg / kgBW. ln conclusion, the ethanol extract of Centello osiotico improve immune response of tuberculosis rat models, through increased IFN gamma leve

Neem Gum (Azadirachta Indica) Prevent Oxydative Stress In Diazinon-Induced Rat

Diazinon, an ogranphosphate pesticides can cause tissue damage due to oxidative stress. One can be measure by its metabolit such as Malondialdehyde (MDA). The high level of plasma MDA can be an indication of tissue damage that need treatment. One of oxidative stress prevention and treatment were using antioxidant. Neem Gum, a sap from neem tree containt polischaride that has potential effect as an antioxidant. This study goal was to uncover the potention of Neem Gum as an antioxidant to prevent oxidative stress caused by Diazinon. A total of 30 wistar rats were divided into 3 groups: the normal group (KN) was given corn oil, the negative control (KD) was induced by diazinon 100 mg/kgBW, and the treatment group (KP) was given Neem Gum solution at a dose of 30 g/kgBW, after an induction Diazinon 100 mg/kg body weight. After 8 days of treatment plasma levels of MDA were measure. The Average plasma levels of MDA of KN group was 0,166 nmol/ml, KD was 0,172 nmol/ml and KP was 0,121 nmol/ml. Statistical analisys using one way anova showed significant diference between groups (p<0,05). Neem Gum has prevention effect from oxidative stress caused by Diazinon

Therapy for Low Back Pain with Acupuncture and Turmeric

Background: Low Back pain (LBP) is the most common musculoskeletal disorder, affecting 70% - 85% of the adult population, and twelve months after onset of LBP, 45% - 75% of patients are still sick. Low back pain in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is usually associated with kidney or renal meridians. In She syndrome, lower back pain is often caused by pathogen wind, damp, cold, heat and blood stasis, whereas in the Xi syndrome lower back pain usually caused by deficiency of Jing, Qi, Yin, or Yang of the kidney. Purpose: To know the effect of acupuncture therapy at Pishu (BL 20), Shenshu (BL 23), Dachangshu (BL 25), Waiguan (TE 5) as well as herbal therapy using turmeric (Curcuma domestica) on low back pain sufferers. Methods: Acupuncture therapy at Pishu (BL 20), Shenshu (BL 23), Dachangshu (BL 25), Waiguan (TE 5) were given 12 times, 3 times a week. Herbal therapy was given for 30 days, taken 3 times a day with a dose of turmeric 1 gram. Results: This therapy could reduce the scale of low back pain from scale 8 to 0 and the spasme scale from 3 to 0, that also reducing the frequency of low back pain. Conclusion: Acupuncture therapy at Pishu (BL 20), Shenshu (BL 23), Dachangshu (BL 25), Waiguan (TE 5) and herbal therapy with 3 g of turmeric (Curcuma domestica) could resolve lower back pain
