Backgrounds of hemoglobin is a metalloprotein in red blood cells that functions as an oxygen booster from the lungs to the rest of the body. To maintain hemoglobin levels in the body, especially in pregnant women, it is necessary to have adequate intake of nutrients, namely iron. If the intake of iron in pregnant women is less, it will increase the risk of anemia. Anemia is a condition or condition that causes low levels of hemoglobin (Hb). Albuminuria or proteinuria is a condition in which urine or urine contains an abnormal amount of albumin. Throughout pregnancy, pregnant women are usually advised to take a urine test. One of the focuses of the urine test is to determine urine protein levels in pregnant women. In pregnant women, there is a phase where urine protein levels increase, namely, lack of fluids, exposure to cold and extreme weather, new strenuous activities, and emotional stress also often causes urine protein levels in pregnant women to increase, and impaired kidney function. or urinary tract infection. The method we used in this research is descriptive research method to describe the levels of hemoglobin (Hb) and urine protein in pregnant women at the Ubud 1 Public Health Center, Gianyar-Bali. With the sampling technique using the probability sampling method, with a simple random sampling technique. The results of 41 respondents, that pregnant women who have normal Hb levels (≥ 11 g/dL) at Puskesmas Ubud 1 were found to be more than pregnant women who have low Hb levels ( 11 g/dL). And from the total sample, as well as 2 pregnant women from the urine protein level examination data were positive. The conclusion after averaging the Hb and urine protein levels of pregnant women at the ubud 1 health center that it can be said that the health condition of pregnant women is quite good, but there are still some respondents who show results that are not in accordance with normal limits, therefore it is important to maintain health and pattern healthy living.Keywords: hemoglobin, urine protein, pregnant women
Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a state of glucose intolerance that was first detected during pregnancy. GDM is increasing worldwide, it is estimated that 15% to 22% of all pregnancies are affected by GDM. GDM can be associated with many consequences, such as fetal macrosomia, preeclampsia, and high caesarean rates. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of glucose and total cholesterol levels in pregnant women in Bangli Regency, Bali. Methods: This research method is descriptive by checking glucose and total cholesterol levels using the enzymatic-colorimetric method. The subjects in this study were 33 pregnant women, with sampling method using the probability sampling method, with a simple random sampling technique. Results: The result of this study is, glucose levels in all samples were in the normal category, while for total cholesterol levels 48,48% were in the normal category and 42,42% were in the abnormal category. Conclusion: Normal glucose levels can be caused by several factors such as the age of the respondent under 40 years, gestational age at term, and the hormones that regulate blood glucose in the body functioning properly. An increase in cholesterol levels can be caused by an increase in sexsteroid hormones, as well as changes in liver and adipose tissue metabolism. An increase in total cholesterol levels in pregnant women needs to be watched out for because it can be on of the markers of the incidence of GDM. ABSTRAK Pendahuluan: Diabetes melitus gestasional (DMG) merupakan keadaan intoleransi glukosa yang pertama kali terdeteksi selama kehamilan. DMG meningkat di seluruh dunia, diperkirakan 15% sampai 22% dari semua kehamilan dipengaruhi oleh DMG. DMG dapat dikaitkan dengan banyak konsekuensi, seperti makrosomia janin, preeklampsia, dan tingkat operasi caesar yang tinggi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar glukosa sewaktu dan kolesterol total pada ibu hamil di Kabupaten Bangli, Bali. Metode: Metode penelitian ini adalah deskriptif dengan memeriksa kadar glukosa sewaktu dan kolesterol total menggunakan metode enzimatik kolorimetri. Subyek pada penelitain 33 ibu hamil, dengan cara penarikan sampel dengan mengunakan metode probality sampling, dengan teknik simple random sampling. Hasil: Hasil dari penelitian ini, diperoleh kadar glukosa sewaktu seluruh sampel berada pada kategori normal sedangkan untuk kadar kolesterol total sebanyak 48,48% berada pada kategori normal dan 42,42% pada kategori abnormal. Kesimpulan: Kadar glukosa yang normal dapat disebabkan oleh usia repsonden di bawah 40 tahun, usia kehamilan yang cukup bulan, dan hormon pengatur glukosa yang berfungsi dengan baik. Peningkatan kadar kolesterol total dapat disebabkan oleh peningkatan hormon steroid seks, perubahan metabolisme hati dan jaringan adipose. Peningkatan kadar kolesterol total pada ibu hamil perlu diwaspadai karena dapat menjadi salah satu penanda kejadian DMG.
Grapes are rich in bioactive molecules that can act as antioxidants, antimicrobials, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer. Paraoxonase (PON) is an enzyme that can combine with HDL and function as an antioxidant that can protect LDL and HDL from lipid peroxidation which can prevent atherosclerosis. We used a high-cholesterol diet given to Wistar Rats to find out the effect of green grape extract (GGE) on the production of PON3 serum levels in rats. GGE was made using the maceration method. Serum PON3 levels were measured using the ELISA method and measured at 450 nm. The results showed that the highest PON3 serum levels were found in the rat group which was given a GGE dose of 500 mg/200 g BW/day (AH2), followed by levels in rats given GGE at a concentration of 250 mg/200 g BW/day (AH1). Tamhane’s test showed that there was a difference between rats that were only given a high-cholesterol diet (DTK) and AH1, AH2, and rats that were fed a standard diet (DS) with AH1 and AH2. However, no difference was found between AH1 and AH2. The higher the dose of GGE given, the higher the serum PON3 level. Further research can better analyze the active compounds in GGE in increasing serum PON3 levels.
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the causes of infectious disease, ranging from mild to severe infections such as meningitis. The drug that is often used is the penicillin class of antibiotics. Apart from chemical antibiotics, natural antibacterial compunds from plants can be also used as an alternative treatment for this infection. Such as green betel (Piper betle L.) and legundi (Vitex trifolia L.). The ethanol extract of betel leaf has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The phytochemical content in legundi leaf is also able to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. The ethanol extract of betel leaf and legundi is made through a maceration process. The extract concentrations used in this study were 20%, 30%, and 40%. The inhibition test of Staphylococcus aureus using the disc method. From the results of this study, the active substances found in betel leaf were flavonoids, tannins, and phenols, while in legundi were found flavonoids, tannins and phenols, and quinones. In total, the mean inhibition zone in this study ranged from 7.87mm to 17.33mm where legundi leaf extract was in the moderate category, betel and combination extract were classified as strong. There was a difference in the diameter of the inhibition zone of betel and legundi extract at a concentration 20% with 40%. In the combination extract there is a difference in the concentration of 20% with 40% and 30% with 40%. An antimicrobial compound can be said to synergize if a mixture of two or more antimicrobial compounds is able to provide an effect of each compounds. In this study, it has seen that the mean of the combination is higher than the mean of legundi leaf extract. Meanwhile, the mean of betel leaf extract is still greater than the combination extract.
Taenia solium is a zoonosis found all over the world, especially in developing countries. T solium can cause taeniasis and cysticercosis in humans. Pigs as intermediate hosts can be infected with T solium which causes porcine cysticercosis. T solium can infect muscle, skin, eye, and brain tissue which can develop into neurocysticercosis. Neurocysticercosis is the cause of 30% of cases of epilepsy in the world. In Denpasar city, pigs are one type of livestock. A large number of pig farms and the Balinese’s people's habit of consuming pork is one of the sources of T solium infection. This research was conducted to determine T solium eggs in pig feces. The study was conducted microscopically on 31 samples with simple random sampling technique. The results showed that of the 31 samples examined, 54.8% (17 samples) were positive for T solium eggs. This indicates that the pig farms in Denpasar city have been infected with T solium. Pig farming in Denpasar city was done traditionally and kept indoors. However, the breeders pay less attention to pig health and environmental sanitation. Also, pigs are slaughtered privately by breeders because there are no slaughterhouses. Lack of supervision of pork circulating in the community is also the cause of T solium infection. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out supervision by the local government on pig farms as well as supervision of pork consumed by the public to prevent and eradicate T solium infection.
