Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of mung bean sprout extracts on Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen hormone in female Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed to monosodium glutamate (MSG).Materials and Methods: This true experimental study was conducted by using post-test only control group design in the laboratory for animal experimentation of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine - Airlangga University in which Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) aged 2 months weighing 150-200 grams were used in this experiment. The samples comprised of 5 rats distributed in each group, totaling 7 groups. I Control Group (P1) was provided with Aquades for 37 days; II (P2) was provided with Aquades for 7 days + MSG 0.03 mg/g of weight on day 8-37; III (P3) was provided with extract of mung bean sprouts 72mg/200g of weight on day 1-37 + MSG 0,03mg/g of weight; IV (P4) was provided with extract of mung bean sprouts 144mg/200g of weight on day 1-37 + MSG 0.03mg/g of weight; V (P5) was provided with Aquades for 7 days + MSG 0.7 mg/g of weight on day 8-37; VI (P6) was provided with extract of mung bean sprouts 72mg/200g of weight on day 1-37 + MSG 0.7mg/g of weight; VII (P7) was provided with extract of mung bean sprouts 144mg/200g of weight on day 1-37 + MSG 0.7mg/g of weight.Serum samples were taken for Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Estrogen with ELISA method. Data analysis to test the differences between groups was done by using one way Anova statistical test.Results: MSG dosage 0,03mg/gBB or 0,7mg/g BB was significant difference in FSH (p = 0,011) and estrogen (p = 0,008).Conclusion: obtained from this research that giving green bean sprout extract influence to the level of FSH and estrogen hormone.

Background and Purpose : Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has now become a global pandemic, even in Indonesia. Pregnant women feel more and more anxious during the current COVID-19 pandemic, especially for 3rd trimester pregnant women who will give birth soon. Parity is one of the factors that can affect the level of anxiety of pregnant women in addition to the factors of the epidemic situation that can increase maternal anxiety. Childbirth readiness is one of the benchmarks for the success of the delivery process and this can indirectly contribute to the increase in MMR in Indonesia. Objective: Analyzing the differences in the level of anxiety and readiness towards childbirth in the COVID-19 pandemic between primigravida and multigravida mothers in their third trimester of pregnancy at the Duren Sawit District Health Center. Methods : This type of research is an observational study with a cross sectional design. Sampling was done by proportional random sampling method. The research instrument is a questionnaire. The method used in data analysis is the Mann-Whitney U test with the help of SPSS. Result : The sample of this study was 99 pregnant women in their third trimester of pregnancy. The level of anxiety in primigravida mothers is Severe level of anxiety (80.9%). Meanwhile, multigravida mothers have a Moderate level of anxiety (56.1%). The level of readiness of primigravida mothers is in the Inadequate category (57.1%). Meanwhile, multigravida mothers have a Good level of readiness (63.3%). The results of the Mann Whitney test showed that there was a significant difference between primigravida and multigravida mothers on the level of anxiety and readiness towards childbirth in the COVID-19 pandemic with a p value (0.000). Conclusion : There is a significant difference in the level of anxiety and readiness towards childbirth in the COVID-19 pandemic between primigravida and multigravida mothers in their third trimester of pregnancy at the Duren Sawit District Health Center.

Background: Breastcare is one of the interventions that can be done to increase and overcome the lack of breast milk so that it can rule out formula milk as an alternative. One of the signs that breast milk is finally in the sufficient phase can be seen in the baby's weight gain. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of breastcare on postpartum mothers on increasing neonatal weight at PMB Noris Hadi Boyolali. Methods: quasi-experimental research design with pretest-posttest control group design. The number of samples was 22 postpartum mothers with purposive sampling technique. The independent variable was breast care for postpartum mothers for the intervention group once a day from day 10-13 (a total of 4 times) and the control group once on day 10, the dependent variable was the increase in neonatal weight which was examined on days 10 and 14. The instruments used are SOP for postpartum mother's breastcare and baby scales. Data analysis used Wilcoxon test, paired t test, and Mann Whitney test. Results: The results of the analysis of the effect of breastcare on postpartum mothers on increasing neonatal weight with the Mann Whitney test obtained p value = 0.208, meaning that there is no effect of breastcare on postpartum mothers on increasing neonatal weight. Conclusions: There was no difference in neonatal weight before and after breastcare was given to postpartum mothers between groups. There was no effect of breastcare on postpartum mothers on the increase in weight of neonates statistically, but the increase in weight of neonates in the intervention group was greater than in the control group.   Keywords: breast milk, breast care, neonate weight

<p><strong>Background:</strong> The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on people's psychology, such as panic disorder, stress, anxiety, and depression. Anxiety can affect the production of breast milk produced by the mother. The concentration of inhibiting and stimulating factors in the lactation process is influenced by various external stimuli such as baby sucking, the sound of a baby crying, and stress which is the impact of anxiety. The purpose of this study was to study and determine the relationship of anxiety in postpartum mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic with breastfeeding in Sekaran Lamongan Public Health Center</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> This type of research is analytic observational with a cross-sectional research design. The samples in this study were all populations that met all inclusion and exclusion criteria with a sampling technique using a non-probability sampling method with a purposive sampling technique. The independent variable of this study is anxiety and the dependent variable studied in this study is breast milk release.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> Based on the results of this study, it was found that anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic in 31 postpartum mothers in the working area of the Sekaran Lamongan Health Center, most of them did not experience anxiety as many as 23 people (74.2%) and most of them experienced smooth breastfeeding as many as 21 people ( 67.7%). The results of the bivariate analysis obtained a significance value of (p) = 0.000 which means the value is &lt;0.05, so there is a relationship between anxiety in postpartum mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic and breastfeeding. The correlation value between the two variables obtained a value of (r) = -0.697 which indicates that the anxiety variable in postpartum mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic with breastfeeding has a strong relationship.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The majority of respondents who do not experience anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic will experience smooth breastfeeding, and there is a relationship between anxiety in postpartum mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic and breastfeeding at the Sekaran Lamongan Health Center.</p>
