Introduction:People worldwide drink Zamzam water either medicinally or religiously. However, the effect of zamzam water extract of CZ in breast cancer cells remains unclear. Objective: To evaluate the zamzam water extract of CZ effect on cell apoptosis, p53 and Bcl2 protein expression in T47 D cells line culture. Methods: In the control group design, 16 Wells which was filled with T47 D cell line culture in the density of 5 x 10 4 /100 µl, were assigned into 4 groups. Control group (C-G), were only filled with T47D cell line culture; Zamzam 50 (ZZ-50); Zamzam 100 (ZZ-100), and Zamzam 500 (ZZ-500) groups, were filled with T47D cell line cultures and 50, 100, and 500 µg/ml zamzam water extract of CZ respectively, and then incubated for 48 hours. The number of apoptotic cell was counted by flow cytometry, while p53 and Bcl2 measured by immunohistochemistry staining method. Results: Mann Whitney analysis indicated that the percentage of apoptotic cell and p53 protein expression in ZZ-100 was significant higher compared to that of C-G (p < 0.05). In contrary the percentage number of Bcl2 protein expression in ZZ100-G was significantly lower when compared to that of C-G (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Treatment of zamzam water extract of CZ on T47D cell line cultured was capable of increasing the number of apoptotic cells, p53 protein expression, but decreased Bcl2 protein expression in T47D cell line culture. However the numbers of apoptotic cells were less than 10%.

A  decrease in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) happens in type 2 diabetes mellitus. The cytokines TNFa and IL-6 are proinflammatory cytokines that are elevated in the blood in many patients with DM. Turmeric is one of the natural ingredients with antioxidant, anti-cholesterol, and anti-inflammatory properties through its active substance, curcumin. Objective: To prove the effectiveness of the combination of metformin and turmeric extract on HDL levels, TNFa levels, and IL-6 levels in Streptozotocin-Nicotinamide-induced Wistar rats. Methods: The study used a post-test-only controlled group design. The subjects were 24 male Wistar rats which were randomly divided into four groups, namely K1, K2, P1, and P2. The whole group was a type 2 DM model induced by streptozotocin-nicotinamide. Group K2 was given metformin 45mg/KgBW/day, group P1 was given turmeric extract at a dose of 200 mg/KgBW/day, and group P2 was given a combination of metformin and turmeric extract. On day 15, blood was drawn for HDL, IL-6, and TNFa examination. The data were analyzed using the one-way Anova test. Results: The mean HDL level in the P2 group (72,4±33,31) was the highest compared to the other three groups. The lowest mean TNFa level among the four groups was the P2 group (7,56±0,44). The lowest mean levels of IL-6 were obtained in the P2 group (58,82±2,15). One-way Anova test on HDL, IL-6, and TNFa levels showed a significant difference between groups with p-value = 0.000. Conclusion: The combination of metformin and turmeric extract can increase HDL levels and reduce IL-6 levels and TNFa levels better than giving metformin or turmeric extract alone.Keywords:  turmeric extract, HDL, IL-6, TNFa

Cinema and Literature are two distinct but equally extraordinary works of art. Though both these arts have certain connections and differences, both have a similarity of taking its readers/audience to a different world. The purpose of this study is to analyze the characters of the main and subordinate characters through a review of a study of literary psychology. The data source in this study uses a film entitled Dilan 1990 which is created by Pidi Baiq. The research methodology used in this study is descriptive qualitative using the library method and also structural assessment in making work designs. In connection with the results of the analysis of this study it can be recommended that this analysis be suitable to be presented to us since it has many positive values to give us a lesson. Like loving each other, being honest, and achieving the highest achievement. Key Words: cinema, film, literature, literary psychology, library method
