Diabetes Mellitus (DM) commonly known as diabetes is a disease characterized by persistent and varied hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar), especially after eating. Diabetes mellitus is a state of chronic hyperglycemia with a variety of metabolic abnormalities due to hormonal disturbances, leading to various chronic complications of the eyes, kidneys, and blood vessels, with lesions in the basement membrane in examination with an electron microscope. Chronic complications of DM are impaired renal function with a high incidence rate of 20-40% which can inhibit the formation of erythropoietin as Hb formers and cause anemia.The purpose of this study was to determine hemoglobin levels in people with diabetes mellitus kidney complications. This research type is descriptive analitik, sample population in this research is patient with diabetes mellitus kidney complication with total sample 30 people, this research took place at RSUD Solok in February until march 2017.Data processed in a way of frequency distribution table, zingga in get the results of most people with diabetes mellitus kidney complications are below normal levels.

Escherichia coli merupakan bakteri yang berperan sebagai flora normal di tubuh manusia. Jika melebihi batas tertentu, kedua bakteri ini dapat menjadi patogen. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui daya hambat yang dihasilkan ekstrak daun salam terhadap pertumbuhan Escherichia coli. Jenis penelitian ini adalah eksperimen laboratorium dengan metode difusi cakram kirby bauer. Daya hambat diperoleh berdasarkan pengukuran zona bening yang terbentuk di sekitar kertas cakram menggunakan jangka sorong. Percobaan dilakukan tiga kali pengulangan dengan kontrol positif yaitu antibotik ciprofloxaxin serta kontrol negatif aquadest dan di dapatkan rata-rata hasil pada konsentrasi 25 % yaitu 14 mm, pada konsentrasi 50 % yaitu 16 mg, dan konsentrasi 75 % yaitu 20 mm. Sedangkan pada kontrol positif di dapatkan hasil rata-rata daya hambat yaitu 31 mm dan pada kontrol negatif 0 mm. Hasil dari uji daya hambat ekstrak daun salam (Syzygium polyanthum [Wight] Walp) terhadap bakteri Escherichia coli lebih kecil dibandingkan kontrol positif (Ciprofloxaxin).

Chinese petai (Leucaena leucocephala folium) and aloe vera (Aloe vera L.) have medicinal properties among the plants.  The objective of this study was to determine the number of inhibitory zones produced by the ethanol extract of Chinese petai and aloe vera on the growth of Escherichia coli. The research method was In-vitro Experimental Laboratory research design with the Kirby Bauer method. The samples used was Chinese petai and aloe vera with pure strains of E. coli. One Way ANOVA was used to compare the differences in inhibition of Chinese petai and aloe vera on the growth of E. coli. The results of a combination of Chinese petai and aloe vera extract test showed that there were significant differences in the concentration of 25 g, 50 g, 75 g, and 100 g (p <0.05). The ethanol extract of Chinese petai and aloe vera can inhibit the growth of E. coli. From the results of this study found that there was an interaction on the combination of ethanol extract of Chinese petai and aloe vera inhibiting the growth of E. coli with the most effective concentration being 100 g/mL. This study can find out the benefits of petai cina and aloe vera also the public will know the benefits and efficacy of Chinese petai and aloe vera leaves in medicine.

Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogenic bacterium that spread throughout the world and still a problem that continues to increase both in hospitals and the community. Infections due to S. aureus usually treated with antibiotics, but in some cases, several strains of S. aureus found to be resistant to antibiotics, such as Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Based on the previous research, the ethanol extract from Ajwa and Sukkari dates formed an inhibitory zone against the MRSA bacteria growth. This study aims to determine the inhibition of the ethanol extract from Ajwa and Sukkari variety of dates (Phoenix dactylifera L.) on the S. aureus growth. The ethanol extract from Ajwa and Sukkari dates with a concentration of 5 mg/mL, 10 mg/mL, 15 mg/mL, and 20 mg/mL resulted in the same inhibition zone with a diameter of ≤ 6 mm which categorized as weak (resistant), whereas the positive control ciprofloxacin had a resistance zone with a diameter of 9 mm. This study results concluded that the ethanol extract of Ajwa and Sukkari dates only has a maximum concentration of 20 mg/mL, which is still classified as a low concentration and has not been able to inhibit MRSA bacteria growth.
