Phytochemical Screening and Study of Ethanol Extract of Capsicum annuum from Indonesia as Active Substances for Anti-Riot Control Agent
Journal ID : AMJ-14-12-2022-10918; Author : Yuli Subiakto, Reynatha Chrestella Amandara Pangsibidang, Sugindro, Taufik Riyadi,
Abstract : A riot control agent (RCA) is a substance that causes a physiological incapacitating effect when it comes into contact with the eyes, skin (mucosa), or when it is inhaled. The mechanism of action of this substance is by interacting with sensory nerve receptors at the site of contamination, resulting in localized pain and discomfort with associated reflexes. However, there are not many studies that can prove the safety of the active compounds and excipients used as RCA. The research aimed to carry out phytochemical tests and standardize the active ingredient of Capsaicin from chili (Capsicum annuum) from various regions in Indonesia as an active ingredient in riot control. The research included the determination of sample, preparation of chili crude drugs, extraction of samples, phytochemical screening, as well as characterization and standardization of extracts. The study was conducted using 10 samples. All extracts samples contain alkaloid compounds. Based on the moisture content, only samples 1 and 3 met the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia requirements. Based on the parameters of total ash content, all samples met the requirements of the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia. However, in terms of acid insoluble ash content, only samples 4 and 7 met the requirements of the Indonesian Herbal Pharmacopoeia. In determination of capsaicin content, it was found that sample No. 6 had the highest capsaicin content, namely 5.092 ± 0.028% (w/w). The results that have been carried out will be continued through further studies for sensitivity tests and toxicity tests of the active ingredients.

Journal ID : AMJ-13-12-2022-10917; Author : Ranj Adil Jalal, Khadija Muhamad Ahmed, Shahla Muhamad Saeed,
Abstract : This study aimed to determine the features of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and comparing the diagnostic efficacy of cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying changes of TMJs. This case-control study was performed on 40 RA patients with ten healthy adults (control cases). CBCT and MRI examination were done for participants. Independent and paired t-tests and correlation coefficient tests were used for data analysis by SPSS program. The frequency of TMJ involvement using CBCT and MRI techniques were 82.5% and 87.5% in RA patients and were 50% and 30% in control cases. The commonest change in CBCT of RA patients was condylar head erosion (67.5%), and the less common change was articular eminence erosion (7.5%). The commonest changes in MRI of RA patients were an osseous change of condylar head (80%), and the minor change was effusion (10%), while in controls were an osseous change of condylar head (30%) and condylar head flattening (10%). Osseous changes occur in TMJs of RA patients with mild to moderate symptoms, MRI can be used as an efficient imaging modality for detecting changes in TMJ.

Assessment of Blood Count Abnormalities in Relation to Clinical outcome of Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Journal ID : AMJ-12-12-2022-10915; Author : Waseem F Al Tameemi, Ali Kh. Khaloofi,
Abstract : Spontaneous non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) constitutes about 10–15% of all strokes and has a high mortality of approximately 40% at 1 month. Identifying the factors associated with mortality may improve survival rate and avert patients many complications. To evaluate the routine blood count finding in ICH patient, in relation to with clinical outcome. This is a case series prospective study included 60 patients who presented with diagnosis of ICH. Clinical data, and laboratory investigations were gathered from patient’s records. Radiological parameter was also registered with aid of expert neurologist looking for site and size of bleeding. Fate of the patient was monitored according to neurologist opinion and categorized as complete recovery, or death within first 30 days of presentation. Outcomes were defined within 30 days of presentation and revealed that 13 patients (21.67%) died. The site of hemorrhage was Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in 61.54% of non-survived patients compared with 23.40% among survived patients with a highly significant difference (p= 0.009). Mean hemoglobin (Hb) concentration in survived patients was 13.58±1.83 g/dl, which was s higher than that of non-survival patients (12.03±1.52 g/dl) with a highly significant difference (p= 0.007). In contrast, mean platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in non-survived patients was 271.89±113.93 which was significantly higher than that of survived patients (214.97±140.11) (p= 0.033). Hb level (< 12.85 g/dl) and high PLR (> 249%) may predict high mortality rate in patients with ICH.

Evaluation of the effect of adding fentanyl to Valsalva maneuver in reducing pain caused by propofol administration
Journal ID : AMJ-12-12-2022-10913; Author : Behzad Nazemroaya, Fateme Zand,
Abstract : It is a widely used anesthetic drug for induction and short-term anesthesia, one of the side effects of this drug is pain during injection. This pain is caused by the connection of the phenol ring to the nerve endings in the endothelium of the veins, which causes discomfort for patients. This issue has led to the selection of different materials and methods to reduce pain during propofol injection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding fentanyl to Valsalva maneuver in reducing pain caused by propofol injection. Our study was a three-way randomized blind clinical trial in which 120 patients who were candidates for propofol anesthesia were divided into two groups. Patients in the first group were injected with 100 g of fentanyl and patients in the second group were injected with normal saline. Two minutes later, propofol was injected in a dose of 0.2 mg / kg for both groups. The amount of pain during their injection is measured using the VAS criterion. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 23 and one-way analysis of variance, repeated measures analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis independent t-test, Friedman and Wilcoxon. Heart Rate, Mean Arterial Pressure, systolic and diastolic Blood Pressure were higher in group that receive normal saline and close valve Valsalva manometer than fentanyl and open valve Valsalva manometer(p-value> 0.001). All variables were higher in the tome of injection. Fentanyl is more effective in reducing pain caused by propofol injection compared to Valsalva maneuver. However, Valsalva maneuver is not ineffective.

Journal ID : AMJ-11-12-2022-10911; Author : Qater Alnada Jassim Mohammed Jawad, Areej Abbas Zabbon, Saif Abdulzahra Hamzah,
Abstract : A novel myokine called irisin is produced in humans after exercise. The present study aimed to determine the effect of irisin values on the levels of BMI, CBC, leptin, and lipid profiles. Between November 2021 and February 2022, 100 Iraqi women aged 18-38 were divided into two groups: those who practicing sports and those who did not. Venous blood was collected and transferred into EDTA tubes and Gel Activator tubes. The current study found a highly significant increase in irisin (p≤0.01) in women practicing sports but no significant difference (P≤0.05) in leptin in women participating in sports (using the ELISA kit). A significant decrease (P≥0.05) in BMI and an increase (P<0.05) in RBCs, MCV, HCT, RDW, Hb, MPV, and PDW in women practicing sports. But, no influence (P≥0.05) was found in MCH, PLT, and PCT in women practicing sports. In cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and VLDL decreased (P≥0.01) in women practicing sports, while HDL increased significantly (P≤0.01) in these women. Results of the women practicing sports show increased irisin and rbc due to the high effect of exercise on women practicing sports and an increase in oxygen supply in both blood and tissue, but a decrease in leptin, BMI, cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and VLDL, and an increase in HDL refer to weight loss.

The Relationship between Severe Stage Chronic Kidney Disease and Iron Deficiency Anemia in Children
Journal ID : AMJ-11-12-2022-10910; Author : Nurussamawati, Rosmayanti Siregar, Olga Rasiyanti Siregar, Adi Koesoema Aman, Bidasari Lubis, Siska Mayasari Lubis,
Abstract : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious health problem in children with increasing prevalence and mortality rate. One of the most common complications in CKD is anaemia. When the kidneys fail to function, erythropoietin (EPO) production decreases significantly and reduces red blood cells production in the bone marrow. There have been no studies looking for a link between severe CKD and iron deficiency anaemia in Indonesia. This study assessed the relationship between severe stage CKD and the prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia in children. This research was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design involving thirty children at progressed stage of CKD. Research was carried out at Haji Adam Malik hospital, Medan, Indonesia from January to March 2022. Iron status examination was carried out. The relationship between severe CKD and iron deficiency anaemia was analysed using Kruskal Wallis test. There were four (4/10, 40%) children with iron deficiency anaemia at stage 3A. Two (2/4, 50%) children at stage 3B had iron deficiency anaemia. One third of children at stage 4 had iron deficiency anaemia (1/3, 33.3%). Eight (8/13, 61.5%) children at stage 5 had iron deficiency anaemia. Kruskal Wallis analysis test did not show any relationship between CKD stage and iron deficiency anaemia (p = 0.711). Iron deficiency anaemia was more common in progressed stages of CKD, where stage 5 had the highest incidence of iron deficiency anaemia. However, this study showed no significant relationship between severe CKD and iron deficiency anaemia.

Isolation, Identification, Screening, and Optimization of Endophytic Mold Fusarium sp in Red Dahlia (Dahlia sp.L) Tubers as Inulinase Producer
Journal ID : AMJ-11-12-2022-10908; Author : Sunarti, Chrismis Novalinda Ginting, Sahna Ferdinand Ginting,
Abstract : Inulinase is an enzyme that converts inulin to fructose. This enzyme can be isolated from the endophytic mold of red dahlia tubers (Dahlia sp.L). The most critical steps to producing large-scale inulinase enzymes are to separate endophytic molds, then identify the type of mold and assess the best activity of the inulinase enzyme based on temperature and PH. The method is to isolate endophytic molds, make crude enzymes with Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB) media and fermentation culture, test the optimum PH of the inulinase enzyme, and conduct molecular identification of endophytic molds with ITS1 and ITS4 primers. The results obtained were the isolation of the red dahlia tuber mold, and five isolates were obtained, namely UD 1, UD 2, UD 3, UD 4, and UD 5. The results of qualitative inulinase screening by measuring the clear zone were UD 1:>2 (+ ++), UD 2:>2 (+++), UD 3: <1-2 (++), UD 4: < 1 (+), and UD 5: <1-2 (++). The result of the highest inulinase measurement at UD2 based on variations in temperature and PH was at a temperature variation of 350C and PH 6.0 was 1.322222222, and the lowest was at a temperature variation of 50 and PH 4.0 was 0.282716049. The result of identifying molecular based on BLAST analysis found Fusarium sp species, thus adding a new variant of the inulinase enzyme from red dahlia tubers that can be used by industry to produce fructose through enzymatic reactions.

Journal ID : AMJ-10-12-2022-10907; Author : Miky Akbar, Guslihan Dasa Tjipta, Supriatmo,
Abstract : Neonatal jaundice is a common clinical problem during the neonatal period, especially in the first week of life. Healthy infants can develop idiopathic neonatal jaundice with prevalence of 60% - 80%. The liver is the site of albumin synthesis which binds unconjugated bilirubin from the breakdown of erythrocytes and helps in transport to the liver. Low albumin production will reduce the transport and binding capacity. To determine the relationship between umbilical cord blood albumin levels and the occurrence of neonatal jaundice in term newborns. Prospective cohort of term neonates with normal birth weight of 2500-4000 grams from February 2020 until December 2020 at the RSUP. H. Adam Malik Medan according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. To assess the correlation between two variables using Pearson correlation test with alternative spearman correlation test followed by simple linear regression. A total of 38 newborns were analyzed and 20 newborns met the inclusion criteria. The correlation of umbilical cord blood albumin levels with total serum bilirubin and indirect bilirubin levels on the third day showed a negative correlation (r value -0.759 and r -0.851) with p value <0.001 indicating a significant correlation. Meanwhile, there was no significant correlation between umbilical cord blood albumin and direct bilirubin with r value is -0,442 and p value is 0.051. The regression equation obtained is indirect bilirubin = 23,007 – 4,108 umbilical cord albumin levels. Indirect bilirubin levels can be estimated based on the value of umbilical cord albumin.
