Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan upaya meningkatkan imunitas tubuh menggunakan herbal tradisional Indonesia. Salah satu tanaman yang memiliki manfaat sebagai imunostimulator adalah tanaman sungkai. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini berupa pembuatan teh dari daun sungkai. Proses pembuatan teh dilakukan di Laboratorium Kimia Dasar Kedokteran Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sriwijaya. Sekitar 27 kg daun sungkai segar dicuci dan dipotong kecil lalu dikeringkan. Daun sungkai kering digiling menjadi serbuk kasar (simplisia). Jumlah simplisia daun sungkai yang didapatkan sekitar 5,1 kg. Takaran sekali minum daun sungkai adalah sekitar 25 g untuk daun segar dan 3 g untuk simplisia. Simplisia daun sungkai dimasukkan ke dalam kantong teh dengan berat bersih 3 g per kantong. Satu kantong teh dapat diseduh dengan 240 mL air panas dan diminum 1-2 kali sehari selama 5 hari.

Pemberian ASI eksklusif pada bayi telah dianjurkan oleh semua pihak. ASI tidak hanya dapat memenuhi kebutuhan energi bayi, tetapi juga memberikan makronutrien dan mikronutrien yang penting untuk tumbuh kembang bayi. Walaupun demikian, cakupan pemberian ASI eksklusif belum dapat dikatakan optimal. Hal tersebut dipengaruhi oleh kurangnya pengetahuan ibu mengenai kandungan nutrisi ASI dan faktor ibu yang bekerja. Pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan edukasi kepada ibu menyusui mengenai kandungan ASI dan pemberian ASI perah (ASIP). Kegiatan dilakukan secara online melalui Zoom. Kegiatan berupa seminar atau penyuluhan dengan menghadirkan 3 topik dan 3 narasumber. Evaluasi keberhasilan kegiatan dilakukan dengan menilai suasana diskusi dan memberikan pertanyaan tertutup melalui pra dan pascates. Sebanyak 29 ibu menyusui mengikuti kegiatan ini dengan rerata usia 29 tahun dan sebagian besar bekerja (80%). Para peserta antusias memberikan pertanyaan kepada para narasumber. Hasil evaluasi pra dan pascates menunjukkan ada peningkatan pengetahuan ibu menyusui sebesar 31% (p=0,000). Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat berupa edukasi kandungan ASI dan pemberian ASIP berhasil dilakukan dengan baik. Edukasi mampu meningkatkan pengetahuan ibu menyusui. Edukasi atau penyuluhan dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan atau pemahaman masyarakat.Abstrak ditulis dalam bahasa Indonesia dan Inggris.

It fulfills the baby's energy needs and provides nutrients that are necessary for baby's growth and development. However, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding has not yet been sufficient, that is affected by the mother’s lack of knowledge about breast milk and the mother’s occupation. This community service aims to provide education to breastfeeding mothers about the content of breast milk and expressed breast milk to the breastfeeding mothers. The activities were performed by presenting 3 experts using online Zoom. Evaluation was done by assessing the atmosphere of the discussion and establishing closed questions through pre and post-test. A total of 29 breastfeeding mothers have participated in this activity with an average age of 29 years and most of them have job (80%). The participants were actively asking questions to the speakers. The results of the pre- and post-test evaluation showed that there was an increase in knowledge of breastfeeding mothers by 31% (p=0.000). It concludes that community service in the form of education activities on the content of breast milk and breastfeeding has been successful. Education or outreach activities has been proven to increase public’s knowledge and understanding of certain topic. Keywords: breast milk, education, expressed breast milk, knowledge, nutrition

Reducing the incidence of stunting is one of the goals of the 2025 Global Nutrition Targets. The prevalence of stunting in children in Indonesia is still high over the last decade. Lack of knowledge on nutritional intake, maternal nutritional status factors, breastfeeding practices, complementary feeding practices, and exposure to infections as well as other factors including education, food system, health care, and sanitation are important determinants of child stunting in Indonesia. This community service activity is carried out with the aim of providing counseling about stunting to mothers and measuring the nutritional status of toddlers as an effort to prevent stunting. The activity was coordinated by students who are members of the Student Executive Board of the Faculty of Medicine, Sriwijaya University (FK Unsri) and Muhammadiyah University (FK UM), involving FK Unsri lecturers, in collaboration with staff at the Puskesmas Taman Bacaan Palembang. At the end of the activity, participants became more aware of the importance of measuring children's nutritional status and stunting prevention measures. There were 6 toddlers who were indicated to be malnourished and reported for management by the Puskesmas team so that they did not progress to stunting.

Background: Uric acid is generated from xanthine and hypoxanthine through the action of xanthine oxidase. Yellow wood contains flavonoids that inhibit xanthine oxidase activity. Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of ethanol extracts of the leaves and stems of yellow wood in inhibiting xanthine oxidase. Methods: The leaves and stems of yellow wood were extracted with 96% ethanol. Xanthine oxidase activity was measured using UV Vis spectrophotometry at 293 nm at various doses of extracts, and inhibition was represented as the IC50 value. Control was performed with allopurinol. Results: Leaves and stems of yellow wood extract inhibited xanthine oxidase by 17.56% and 96.85% at 50 ppm, with IC50 values of 174.62 and 30.85, respectively. Conclusion: It demonstrates that stem extracts of yellow wood are more effective than leaves at inhibiting xanthine oxidase, lowering uric acid levels.
