The present study was undertaken to investigate the antioxidant and anti-glycation activity of lemongrass (C. Citratus) leaves extract. The antioxidant activity was measured by hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity and chelating effect of ferrous iron. The anti-glycation activity was determined by inhibition of hemoglobin glycation method. The results of this present studies showed that the C. Citratus leaves extract to have hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, and chelating effect of ferrous iron activity. The results also showed that the C. Citratus leaves extract to have anti-glycation activity. The result showed that C. Citratus leaves extract more effective in all activity, except for hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity. The present study indicated that C. Citratus leaves extract showed a potential antioxidant and anti-glycation activity.
Hepatitis B adalah suatu penyakit hati yang disebabkan oleh virus hepatitis B virus (HBV). Cara penularan HBV adalah secara parenteral yaitu secara vertikal (transmisi) maternal (ibu)-neonatal (janin) atau horisontal (kontak antar individu yang sangat erat dan lama, seksual, iatrogenik, serta penggunaan jarum suntik bersama). Warga Binaan Pemasyarakatan (WBP) Lapas Narkotika merupakan salah satu orang yang memiliki faktor risiko tinggi terinfeksi virus hepatitis B, akibat penggunaan narkotika dan obat-obatan terlarang yang menggunakan jarum suntik secara bergantian, tindik, tatoo dan juga melakukan hubungan seksual secara bebas karena perilaku yang salah. Dampak yang ditimbulkan akibat terinfeksi virus hepatitis B dapat menyebabkan terjadinya penyakit tahap lanjut seperti sirosis hepatis dan kanker hati. Oleh sebab itu kegiatan yang dilaksanakan oleh tim pengabdian masyarakat Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Palangkaraya pada sasaran yaitu Warga Binaan Pemasyarakat (WBP) Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Narkotika Kelas IIA Kasongan bertujuan untuk menyampaikan edukasi berupa penyuluhan terkait gejala, cara penularan, pencegahan,pengobatan dan berbagai layanan kesehatan terkait penyakit hepatitis B serta melakukan skrining pemeriksaan HBsAg terhadap WBP dan membagikan X-banner kepada pihak lapas.
