An increase of human immunodeficiency virus infection amongs blood donor during COVID-19 pandemic

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a one of crucial concern to blood safety because of their prolonged presence in the blood. Unsafe blood transfusion from infected donor contribute to spread the virus as well. Indonesia health ministry reported that HIV infection increase significantly in 2019 to 2021, and HIV case diagnose in population still way from the prediction in 2020, only 78.7% cases reported from 90% prediction case. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted and collected 51,351 blood donors during COVID-19 pandemic, 2020-2021. Blood sample analyzed using serological methods to detect the present of HIV antibodies. A reactive result of HIV screening from 21,260 donor in 2020 showed 12 donors reactive (0.00056%), while in 2021 from 30,091 donor showed 42 donors reactive (0.142899%) and showed a significant different from 2020 and 2021 (p-value <0.05). The number of reactive donors increase numerously from 2020 to 2021, while total donor also increased. The level of social restriction has contribution of HIV reactive case among blood donor and showed from two years of pandemic with p-value <0.05. A significant increase of HIV infection among blood donor and the effect of restriction level to prevent COVID-19 transmission are clearly show in this study

Antibacterial activity of bioactive compound produced by endophytic fungi isolated from Mangifera casturi Kosterm endemic plant from South Kalimantan, Indonesia

The endophytic fungi that live in endemic plants are a promising bio‐prospect as the producers of antibacterial compounds. This research is aimed to evaluate the endophytic fungi antibacterial compound from Mangifera casturi. The bioactive compounds of 13 endophytic fungi were extracted using ethyl acetate and evaluated for antibacterial activity using disk diffusion assay. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was measured using the serial broth dilution method. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to examine cell damage because of the extract. The antibacterial compounds were then detected using GC‐MS analysis. The endophytic fungi were identified morphologically and molecularly based on ITS rDNA sequencing Among the 13 isolates, the endophytic fungi identified as Botryosphaeria rhodina AK32 produced the antibacterial compounds that exhibited the highest activity and a broad spectrum. Moreover, they were capable against resistant bacteria, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with an MIC value of 1.56% for all the test bacteria. The mechanism of action of AK32 ethyl acetate extract seemed to affect the condition of bacterial cell walls, causing morphological alteration such as shrinkage of the cell, warted cells, and hollow cells. Based on GC‐MS, the antibacterial compounds of AK32 ethyl acetate extract were di‐n‐octyl phthalate, benzyl alcohol, high‐oleic (CAS) safflower oil, benzene acetonitrile, and benzotriazole

Produksi Komponen Darah Packed-Red Cell (PRC), Liquid Plasma (LP), Thombocytes Concentrates (TC) dan Fresh-Frozen-Plasma (FFP) di UDD PMI Kabupaten Bojonegoro

The processing of blood components is an act of separating the components of donor blood through a process by taking into account the quality and safety of blood component products. Its process produce various type of blood component, such as Packed Red Cell, Liquid Plasma, Thrombocytes Concentrate and Fresh Frozen Plasma. The quantity of each blood production depends on the mount of demant from hospital to threat the patient for transfusion. Indonesia Red Cross especially in Blood Donor Unit of each region have a important duty to collect and process the whole blood component as much as it needed. This type of research is a descriptive study with a cross sectional approach. The population used was the production of PRC, LP, TC and FFP  at UDD PMI Bojonegoro from June to July 2022 as many as 2124 kolf. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. Data analysis using univariate analysis which is presented in the form of a frequency distribution table and ghraphic for daily production. Production of blood components as much as 2124 kolf, Production of PRC as 984 kolf (46%), LP as 904 kolf (43%0, TC as 200 kolf (9%), and FFP as 36 kolf (2%). The highest blood component production is PRC, followed by LP, TC and FFP, respectfully
