Get PDFThe mangosteen fruit is rich in polyphenols, particularly xanthones, which have potent antioxidant effects. Given the various effects of facial toners and the growing demand for natural skincare products, mangosteen rind may serve as an alternative ingredient in facial toner formulations. This laboratory experimental study aimed to assess the antioxidant activity of facial toner preparations containing the ethyl acetate fraction of mangosteen rind (Garcinia mangostana L.) using the ABTS method at different concentrations (0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6%). Four facial toner formulas were formulated, with Formula 1 being the control formula without any active substance and Formulas 2-4 containing the ethyl acetate fraction of mangosteen rind at different concentrations. The prepared formulas underwent physical and chemical stability tests, including organoleptic, homogeneity, pH, viscosity, and humidity tests, before and after six cycles of cycling. The antioxidant activity of the formulas was also evaluated using the ABTS method. The results showed no significant difference (p>0.05) in the organoleptic, viscosity, pH, and humidity tests before and after cycling. Formula 3 showed significant (p<0.05) antioxidant activity compared to the other formulas. Therefore, it can be concluded that the ethyl acetate fraction of mangosteen rind (Garcinia mangostana L.) can be formulated into a facial toner with potent antioxidant activity

Exploring the Potent Anti-Hyperglycemic Properties of Red Betel Leaf Ethanol Extract Fraction on Male Wistar Rats
Get PDFHyperglycemia is characterized by an increase in blood glucose levels exceeding 200 mg/dL, an initial symptom of diabetes mellitus. Hyperglycemia can be addressed through traditional treatment with Red Betel Leaf. Red betel leaf contains phytochemical compounds, including flavonoids. Flavonoid compounds in red betel leaves possess antioxidant properties. These antioxidants can scavenge hydroxyl radicals that damage the β cells of the pancreas, thereby maximizing insulin production. Empirically, the flavonoid content in red betel leaves has been shown to lower blood glucose levels and cure diabetes mellitus. An effectiveness test of the anti-hyperglycemic properties of the ethanol extract fraction of red betel leaf was conducted. This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of the ethanol extract fraction of red betel leaf on male white rats. The method employed in this study was laboratory experimentation. Fifteen rats were divided into five treatment groups: Group I, healthy control without treatment; Group II, negative control with Na.CMC administration; Group III, positive control with glibenclamide administration; Group IV, the polar group with polar extract suspension of red betel leaf administration; Group V, the nonpolar group with nonpolar extract suspension of red betel leaf administration. In conclusion, administering the polar fraction was more effective in reducing blood glucose levels than the nonpolar fraction
Ethical Dilemma in Patients Selection during COVID-19 Pandemic in Indonesia: Choosing Who Shall Live or Die
Get PDFDebates surrounding the patient selection criteria for medical resources rationing have been sparked since decades ago. The arrival of COVID-19 has, once again, raised this debate. Due to its abrupt arrival, rapid infection rate, and unknown pathophysiology, COVID-19 has overwhelmed everyone, including healthcare stakeholders, causing a shortage of medical resources (e.g., beds, ventilators, oxygen supplies, drugs and medicines, and even personal protective equipment). Subsequently, resource rationing through patient selection is inevitable. This article comprehensively summarized the ethical dilemmas in patient selection during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in Indonesia. We divide the dilemma into two major groups: the elderly and important people. We also present a scientific discussion covering the patients' selection approaches (first-come-first-served (FCFS)-based, severity-based, age-based, time-division/future prediction, equality-based, and random rationing). We reveal that there is no perfectly ideal approach for patient selection without sacrificing any factors. Since decades ago, patient selection policy has placed the elderly groups in an unfavorable position. The COVID-19 pandemic has, once more, showing us that elderly groups are still given lower priorities in the scarce medical resource setting. Lastly, until we are able to provide sufficient healthcare resources, this condition might be, and will always be, a bitter pill to swallow
