"ABSTRAKLatar Belakang : PBB menyatakan bahwa Indonesia memiliki kecenderungan peningkatan harapan hidup sebesar 71,7 di kisaran tahun 2010-2015 yang diperkirakan akan meningkat menjadi 77,6 pada 2045-2050. Hal ini dapat meningkatkan beban penanganan penyakit tidak menular. Oleh karena itu, penelitian dilakukan dengan tujuan mencari ekstrak tanaman herbal yang dapat memperlambat proses penuaan pada tikus tua dengan meninjau parameter histopatologis. Ekstrak Centella asiatica (CA) diketahui berpotensi dalam mengurangi tingkat penuaan di cerebrum. Metode : Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan 4 kelompok : kontrol negatif, perlakuan (CA 300 mg/kgBB), kontrol positif (Vitamin E 6 IU) dan tikus muda yang diberi perlakuan selama 28 hari. Setiap kelompok memiliki jumlah sampel minimal 4. Setelah 28 hari, tikus diterminasi dan diambil sediaan otaknya untuk dibuat preparat histopatologis pada bagian hipokampus. Sediaan kemudian diidentifikasi 4 variabel yaitu densitas sel normal, densitas sel abnormal, densitas sel piramidal, densitas sel piknotik dan densitas sel total pada 2 bagian hipokampus yaitu girus dentatus dan CA3. Analisis dilakukan secara komparatif pada 2 jenis sampel tersebut. Hasil : Pada akhir perlakuan, kelompok kontrol positif tidak dianalisis karena tidak memenuhi jumlah sampel minimal. Pada sampel girus dentatus, hasil analisis one-way anova menunjukkan hasil bermakna pada variabel densitas sel normal dan densitas sel abnormal, tetapi analisis post-hoc Bonferroni menunjukkan hasil yang tidak bermakna pada kelompok CA dibandingkan dengan kontrol negatif dan tikus muda. Sedangkan sediaan sampel CA3 tidak memiliki hasil yang bermakna pada analisis komparatif kategorik. Diskusi : CA diketahui memiliki efek antioksidan yang baik namun memerlukan durasi perlakuan yang lebih panjang untuk mendapat efek anti-penuaan.

ABSTRACTBackground: United Nations states that Indonesia has tendency to increase life expectancy in 2010-2015 by 71.7, and expected to increase to 77.6 in 2045-2050. This can increase the burden of handling non-communicable diseases. Therefore, research was conducted aiming to find herbal extracts that can slow down aging process in old mice by reviewing histopathological parameters. Centella asiatica (CA) is known to be potential in reducing the rate of aging in cerebrum. Method: The study was conducted using 4 groups: negative control, treatment (CA 300 mg/kgBW), positive control (Vitamine E 6 IU) and young mice days with each minimum sample size of 4. After 28 days of treatment, rats were terminated and brain preparations were taken to make histopathological preparations in 2 parts of hippocampus section : dentate gyrus and CA3. The preparations then identified 4 variables : normal cell density, abnormal cell density, pyramidal cell density, picnotic cell density and total cell density. The analysis was carried out comparatively. Results: At the end of the treatment, the positive control group was not analyzed due to low number of samples. In dentate gyrus, the results of One-way Anova analysis showed significant results on normal cell density and abnormal cell density variables, but Bonferroni's post-hoc analysis showed no significant results in the CA group compared to negative controls and young mice. CA3 preparations did not have significant results in categorical comparative analysis. Discussion: CA is known to have good antioxidant effects but requires a longer duration of treatment to show anti-aging effect."

"Diet tinggi lemak dan gaya hidup dipercaya menjadi faktor risiko yang secara fundamental berpengaruh terhadap kesehatan, terutama sebagai penyebab hiperlipidemia yang mengarah pada gangguan kardiovaskular. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) adalah protein yang mengatur degradasi reseptor low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) sebagai penentu kadar LDL plasma, meningkatkan aktivasi platelet dan inflamasi vaskular. Penelitian eksperimental melalui pemberian variasi diet tinggi lemak HFD I, HFD II, dan HFD III dievaluasi pengaruhnya terhadap profil lipid dan kadar PCSK9 plasma perlu dilakukan dalam upaya pengembangan model hewan hiperlipidemia. Profil lipid diukur menggunkan spektrofotometer UV-Vis dan kadar PCSK9 melalui ELISA dari 20 sampel plasma darah tikus Wistar jantan. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa variasi diet tinggi lemak selama 10 minggu meningkatkan kadar kolesterol total dan trigliserida secara signifikan (p<0,001) dibandingkan dengan kelompok normal, perbandingan antarkelompok induksi berbeda signifikan (p<0,001), dan berhasil mencapai kondisi hiperlipidemia. Terdapat korelasi positif yang kuat dan signifikan antara kadar kolesterol total (r= 0,883; p= <0,001) dan trigliserida (r= 0,817; p= <0,001) terhadap kadar PCSK9 plasma. Kadar PCSK9 plasma pada kelompok induksi diet tinggi lemak berbeda signifikan (p=0,029) dibandingkan dengan kelompok normal. Pada penelitian ini, semua variasi diet tinggi lemak mampu meningkatkan kadar kolesterol total, trigliserida, dan kadar PCSK9 plasma dengan peningkatan terbesar terdapat pada komposisi HFD III yang mengandung 15% mentega dan 50% lemak kambing dengan komposisi asam lemak jenuh dan lemak trans yang relatif lebih tinggi, Penelitian lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk menganalisis pengaruhnya terhadap kerusakan jaringan vaskular pada model hewan hiperlipidemia.......High-fat diet and lifestyle are acknowledged to be risk factors that fundamentally affect health, especially as a cause of hyperlipidemia that leads to cardiovascular diseases. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a protein that regulates the degradation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) receptors as a determinant of plasma LDL levels, increases platelet activation and vascular inflammation. Experimental research through the provision of high-fat diet variations HFD I, HFD II, and HFD III evaluated its effect on lipid profiles and plasma PCSK9 levels requirements to be carried out to develop animal models of hyperlipidemia. Lipid profiles were measured using a spectrophotometer UV-Vis and PCSK9 levels by ELISA from 20 blood plasma samples of male Wistar rats. The results of the evaluation showed that the variation of a high-fat diet for 10 weeks increased total cholesterol and triglyceride levels significantly (p<0,001) compared to the normal group, the comparison between the induction groups was significantly different (p<0,001), and managed to achieve hyperlipidemia. There was a strong and significant positive correlation between total cholesterol levels (r= 0,883; p= <0,001) and triglycerides (r= 0,817; p= <0,001) on plasma PCSK9 levels. Plasma PCSK9 levels in the high-fat diet induction group were significantly different (p=0,029) compared to the normal group. In this study, all variations of a high-fat diet were able to increase total cholesterol, triglycerides, and plasma PCSK9 levels with the considerable increase in the composition of HFD III which contained 15% butter and 50% goat fat with relatively higher saturated and trans fatty acid compositions. Further research is required to analyze its effect on vascular tissue damage in animal models of hyperlipidemia."

ABSTRACTBackground Chronic kidney disease CKD is increasingly prevalent in Indonesia and around the world. One of the major sources of morbidity and mortality in CKD is the complication of developing cardiovascular disease. Mastin is a locally produced supplement made from extract of mangosteen pericarp which is reported to have antioxidative, anti inflammatory and antitumor properties. This research aims to investigate whether Mastin is capable of improving antioxidant responses in the heart during CKD by measuring the expression of Nrf2, a master regulator of antioxidant response elements. Method RNA was extracted from heart tissue of 3 groups of rats Normal group, Nephrectomy group and Nephrectomy with Mastin group. Two Step real time RT PCR was then conducted to calculate the relative expression of Nrf2 gene. Results Expression of Nrf 2 was markedly decreased in the Nephrectomy group but slightly increased in the Nephrectomy with Mastin group. Conclusions Chronic Kidney Disease resulted in impaired activation of Nrf2 pathway in the heart. Although the administration of Mastin slightly increased Nrf2 expression, it is not significant enough to confer cardioprotective effects through the Nrf2 pathway."

"Resistensi oseltamivir sebagai inhibitor neuraminidase virus influenza A subtype H1N1 telah dilaporkan oleh Cheng, et al pada tahun 2009. Sebagai salah satu upaya mengatasi pemasalahan ini, beberapa penelitian yang menggunakan metode simulasi molecular docking telah dilakukan untuk merancang dan menemukan ligan peptide siklis yang dapat berperan sebagai inhibitor potensial neuraminidase H1N1 sehingga dapat menghambat replikasi virus tersebut.Pada penelitian ini dipelajari dan dievaluasi interaksi ligan terhadap enzim dalam keadaan terhidrasi dengan menggunakan metode simulasi dinamika molekul pada temperatur yang berbeda. Simulasi dilakukan terhadap tiga inhibitor peptida siklis disulfida yaitu DNY, LRL, NNY dan oseltamivir, zanamivir sebagai ligan standar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pergerakan dinamis yang dimiliki oleh kelima kompleks enzim-ligan dalam keadaan terhidrasi mempengaruhi interaksi ligan terhadap residu asam amino enzim.Pada akhir simulasi temperatur 300 K, ligan DNY memiliki interaksi dengan sisi katalitik enzim Asp 151, Arg 293, ligan LRL dengan Arg 118, Arg 293, ligan NNY dengan Asp 151, Glu 425 dan Arg 293. Pada temperatur 312 K, ligan DNY tidak memiliki interaksi dengan sisi katalitik enzim. Ligan LRL memiliki interaksi dengan sisi katalitik enzim Asp 151, Glu 425, Tyr 402, ligan NNY dengan Asp 151, Glu 278 dan Arg 293. Konformasi yang terlihat berbeda pada enzim memperlihatkan perilaku dinamis enzim dalam pelarut dan adanya pengaruh kehadiran inhibitor. Konformasi yang berubah akibat perilaku dinamis kompleks enzim-ligan juga dapat terlihat dalam plot kurva RMSD.......Resistence of oseltamivir as an inhibitor of neuraminidase influenza A virus subtype H1N1 has been reported by Cheng, et al in 2009. To solve this problem, several researchs by molecular docking method have been conducted to design and discover disulfide cyclic peptide ligand which become potential inhibitors for neuraminidase H1N1 to inhibit the replication of this virus.This research was studied and evaluated the interaction of ligands toward enzyme in the hydrated state using molecular dynamics simulation at two different temperatures. Simulations performed on three disulfide cyclic peptide inhibitors namely DNY, LRL, NNT along with oseltamivir, zanamivir as a standard ligand. The result provided that dynamic movement of five proposed ligand in the hydrate state affecting ligand interaction of the enzyme amino acid residues.In the end of simulation, two of three disulfide cyclic peptide inhibitors have good interaction with catalytic site of the enzyme. At the end of simulation temperature of 300 K, DNY formed hydrogen bond with catalytic site Asp 151, Arg 293, LRL with Arg 118, Arg 293, NNY with Asp 151, Glu 425 and Arg 293. Then at the end of simulation temperature of 312 K, DNY could not form hydrogen bond with catalytic site of enzyme. LRL formed hydrogen bond with Asp 151, Glu 425, Tyr 402, NNY with Asp 151, Glu 278, and Arg 293. Different conformations of enzymes which occur during simulation showed the dynamic behaviour of the enzyme in the presence of solvent and inhibitor. The changing of enzymes conformation as the result of dynamic behaviour of the enzyme in the presence of solvent and inhibitor also could be seen in RMSD curve."
