Journal ID : AMJ-28-01-2023-11159; Author : Amran Nur, Ermalyanti Fiskia, Ismail Rahman, Yusri Sapsuha,
Abstract : Gastric ulcer is a disease disorder caused by damage to the mucous layer, submucosa, to the muscle layer of the gastrointestinal tract due to the activity of pepsin and stomach acid. This study aims to determine the effect of nutmeg flesh as an anti-ulcer. Tests were carried out using Wistar strain white rats. Nutmeg Flesh Extract (NFE) was obtained by maceration method using 70% ethanol, then divided into three dose groups, NFE 400, 900, and 1800mg/kgbw. Acetosal 500mg/kgbw was given as an ulcer inducer on the 8th day. As a positive control, Omeprazole was used at 20 mg/Kgbw. The test parameters observed were the number of ulcers, ulcer index, % protection, gastric pH, total acidity of gastric juice, and histology of gastric tissue. The results showed that the ethanol extract of nutmeg flesh at doses of 450, 900, and 1800 mg/kgbw had significantly different anti-ulcer activity against negative controls (p<0.05) in acetocal-induced rats with the highest protective ratio indicated by a dose of 1800 mg/Kgbw.

PRIMARY TUBERCULOSIS OF CERVIX MIMICKING CERVICAL CARCINOMA : A RARE CASE REPORT
Journal ID : AMJ-27-01-2023-11156; Author : Nugraha Utama Pelupessy, Rina Previana, Andi Siiti Halija Diawanti,
Abstract : Primary tuberculosis of the cervix is a very rare case and its prevalence is only about 0.1-0.65 % of all tuberculosis cases. Lesions in cervical tuberculosis can resemble lesions in cervical carcinoma with similar complaints such as foul-smelling vaginal discharge, abnormal bleeding, and symptoms of malaise. However, the diagnosis can be made by isolating the acid-fast bacillus on microscopy or histopathology. We report a rare case of primary tuberculosis of the cervix, which was suspected as carcinoma cervix on clinical examination but turned out to be a case of cervical tuberculosis based on the histopathological result. At nine months, the cervix had an almost normal appearance, and complaints from the patient were lessened.

Molecular approaches for fungal identification and their mycotoxins in peanut samples from Sulaimaniyah markets, Iraq
Journal ID : AMJ-26-01-2023-11152; Author : Khulod Ibraheem Hassan, Pari Hama Sharef Mahmood, Sakar Kamal Hamasalh,
Abstract : Peanut is the most popular edible nut that is easily contaminated by some kinds of fungi that produce a variety of mycotoxins, some of which are carcinogens. Thus, we aimed to investigate the safety of peanuts from pathogenic fungi and their mycotoxin. About 51 (15 fresh and 36 salt-roasted) peanut samples were collected from the markets of Sulaimaniyah, Iraq, and tested for possible fungi and mycotoxins contamination. Fungal contamination was identified by morphological traits molecular assay using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), while Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) was applied for mycotoxin determination. We isolated 98 fungal strains from the peanut samples in which the three main fungal genera were Aspergillus spp, Penicillium spp., and Fusarium spp. Among them, A. niger was the predominant strain (29.59%), followed by A. flavus (26.53%), then A. parasiticus strain (17.34%), F. solani (14.28%), and P. chrysogenum (12.24%) with 360, 497, 430, 650, and 111 bp, respectively using PCR assay. Additionally, Aflatoxins (AFs) were detected in 43 samples (84.31%) with Ocratoxins (OCs) in 39 samples (76.47%) using the ELISA technique. Collected peanut samples exceeded the maximum allowable limit set by the European Union (UN) for the two kinds of mycotoxins. These assays are valuable tools that might be incorporated into the quality control system of the food chain.

Intravitreal Resveratrol Prevents Progressivity of Retinal Ganglion Cell Loss after Retinal Ischemic-Reperfusion Injury
Journal ID : AMJ-26-01-2023-11150; Author : Amelia Shinta Prasetya, Evelyn Komaratih, Wimbo Sasono, I Ketut Sudiana, Chrismawan Ardiyanto, Mercia Chrysanti, Maria Debora Niken Larasati, Yulia Primitasari, Nurwasis,
Abstract : Retinal ganglion cells (RGC) are the most commonly affected cell type in optic neuropathies following acute high IOP injury that induced cell death mechanism, such as apoptosis. Resveratrol is a potential antioxidant against various ocular disease, as well as its anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and anti-apoptotic effects. In this in vivo study, 20 healthy adult male Rattus Norvegicus were separated into 4 groups and given intervention retinal ischemic reperfusion injury (I/R) by increasing intraocular pressure to 110 mmHg for 60 minutes. Resveratrol (RSV) 100μM was injected intravitreally in the IR+RSV group thus enucleated in 7th day. Enucleated eye were immunohistochemically examined for Bax and Caspase-3 expression. Bax and Caspase-3 level was significantly increased between control group and treatment group (IR7+PBS, IR7+RSV) (P <0.01 and P<0.05); and between intervention group IR0 and IR7+PBS (P<0.01). There was also significant decrease between IR7+PBS and IR7+RSV (P<0.05). This study concluded that Resveratrol intravitreal helps to prevent progressivity of retinal ganglion cell loss by decreasing Bax and Caspase-3 expression after ischemic reperfusion injury in the animal model.

Journal ID : AMJ-26-01-2023-11148; Author : Uswatun Hasanah, Rahayu Indriasari, Veni Hadju, Aminuddin Syam, Anna Khuzaimah, Zakaria,
Abstract : Anemia is a major nutritional problem in the world, especially in developing countries. It was also estimated that 30% of the world's population is suffering from this condition. Therefore, this study aims to assess the effect of administering chicken liver and moringa (Moringa oleifera) flour-based meatballs on hemoglobin (Hb) levels in anemic female adolescents at a boarding school in Gowa. A quasi-experimental method was used with a non-randomized pre-post control design carried out for one month and consisting of two groups. The intervention group contains 29 samples who were given chicken liver and moringa flour-based meatballs for 1 month (30 days), while the control consists of 28 samples, and they were administered with beef meatballs. The variables measured include hemoglobin levels using the Hb Meter brand HemoCue, while food intake was evaluated with the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionaire (SQ-FFQ) interview method. The data of hemoglobin level were analyzed with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank and Mann-Whitney Tests, while data analysis for intake was performed using the Paired T-Test and Independent Sample T-Test. After the samples were given the treatment, the average hemoglobin levels in the intervention and control groups experienced a significant increase from 10.35 g/dL to 12.08 g/dL and 10.30 to 11.63 g/dL, respectively, with a p-value <0.05. These results showed that the treatment given in both groups was effective in increasing hemoglobin levels and food intake. Although the difference between the groups was not statistically significant, the effect of giving chicken liver and moringa flour-based meatballs was greater compared to beef meatballs on Hb levels. This treatment also had an immense effect on increasing protein, and iron intake.

Journal ID : AMJ-26-01-2023-11147; Author : Christine Christine, Liena Soegianto, Chrismis Novalinda Ginting, Linda Chiuman,
Abstract : Glomerulonephritis is a disease of inflammation on kidney’s glomerulus that is marked by the damage of glomerular capillary wall, increase of membrane permeability, and decrease of glomerular filtration rate. Glomerulonephritis needs to be detected and treated early to minimize kidney damage. Chronic glomerulonephritis can slowly be progressive and periodically cause the loss of kidney function. Oxidative stress and inflammation is known to have a role in the pathogenesis of Acute Glomerulonephritis. Andaliman fruit (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC) is known to have plenty of benefits, namely as antioxidant and anti-inflammation. To determine the effect of andaliman fruit ethanol extract towards measurement of creatine, urea, and kidney histologic structure on mice models with acute glomerulonephritis. Research design is an experimental study using the pretest posttest with control group design method on Streptokinase induced acute glomerulonephritis Rattus norvegicus rat model. This study compares the effect of andaliman fruit ethanol extract on control group and treatment group receiving each the dose of 100 mg/kg/day, 200 mg/kg/day and 300 mg/kg/day. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) creatinine and urea level between groups after given the andaliman fruit ethanol extract on acute glomerulonephritis rat model after 14 days. The most effective change on kidney histologic structure could be seen in a group receiving the dose of 100 mg/kg/day. This study showed the anti-inflammatory activity of andaliman fruit (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC) that could be seen from the improvement of kidney function and histologic structure.

Abstract : The tools of the medical record is an indicator of hospital quality services which is very important for the service process which carried out by medical personnels and affects the hospital quality services. Whether it is good or bad, health services at hospital will be reflected in the tools of medical record. This study used mixed methods with sequential explanatory approach. The sampling technique was probability sampling with Simple random sampling technique. The sample in quantitative research was 97 medical personnels and 6 research informants. Quantitative research showed that there was correlation among Knowledge (p=0.021), Motivation (p=0.003), and Work procedure (p=0.010) to the tools of to fulfill medical record for inpatient care patients with Covid-19. Meanwhile, Working time (p=0.611) and supervision (p=0.412) had no correlation. The results of qualitative research concluded that from the results of interview with 6 respondents, the understanding about medical record was very good but this understanding was not in line with the available evidence. There are still many findings of medical record documents that are found incomplete, especially on medical resume forms and cppt. From five variables, only knowledge, motivation, and work procedure associated with the tools of the medical record documents for Covid-19 patients. It is hoped that the hospital management can evaluate and monitor medical personnels who work to complete medical record documents by conducting regular meeting with related units as well as the Hospital to be able to implement electronic medical record according to Minister of Health Regulation No 24 of 2022.

Journal ID : AMJ-25-01-2023-11141; Author : Anniz Setyowati, Rahayu Indiriasari, Nurhaedar Jafar,
Abstract : One nutritional problem that is prone to occur in adolescents is malnutrition. Underweight or underweight is a condition caused by a lack of energy intake compared to the energy expended. Lack of energy intake or insufficient consumption of essential nutrients the body needs will usually cause a decrease in the activities carried out. This study aims to assess the effect of social cognitive theory-based nutrition education on behavioral aspects related to physical activity in malnourished adolescents in the Makassar City Island area. This type of research is quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group design. Using simple random sampling with a total sample of 82 malnourished adolescents on Kodingareng Island, Barang Caddi Island, Barrang Lompo Island, and Lae-late Island in Makassar City, the intervention group and the control group. The variables in this study were looking at changes in behavioral aspects (knowledge, self-efficacy, motivation) related to physical activity in the intervention group (given nutrition education using modules) and the control group (given infographics) for 12 weeks. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, and Mann-Whitney. The results showed that there was a change in knowledge in the intervention group after education (8.09 ± 1.20) with a p-value (0.000), as well as in the control group showing there was a change in knowledge after education (7.58 ± 1.53) with a p-value (0.000). The average change in knowledge did not differ between the two groups, with a p = 0.282. There was a change in self-efficacy in the intervention group after education (53.26 ± 15.55) with a p-value (0.000), as well as in the control group showing a change in self-efficacy after education (47.51 ± 19.84) with a p-value (0.000). There was a big difference in the mean change in self-efficacy between the two groups, with a p = 0.009. There was a change in motivation in the intervention group after education (30.75 ± 4.28) with a p-value (0.000), as well as in the control group showing a change in motivation after education (26.58 ± 6.84) with a p-value (0.000). There was a big difference in the average change in motivation between the two groups, with a p = 0.000. There was a change in physical activity behavior in the intervention group after education (1.434±0.134) with a p-value (0.000), as well as in the control group showing changes in physical activity behavior after education (525.63±133.59) with a p-value (0.000). There was a difference in the average change in physical activity behavior between the two groups, with a p = 0.011. Researchers conclude that educational interventions have an effect on behavioral aspects (knowledge, self-efficacy, motivation, physical activity behavior) related to physical activity in the intervention and control groups.
