Abstract The 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) shows that the proportion of mental emotional disorders has increased compared to Risksesdas 2013 (9.8% from 6%), so that it has the potential to become a mental disorder that needs complex handling. The use of basic medicines for mental disorders in primary health care is limited due to the lack of competent and authorized health worker, besides the availability of medicines is very low. Research on Medicinal Plans and Herbs/Riset Tanaman Obat dan Jamu (Ristoja) has been carried out since 2012 and has resulted in successfully identifying more than 4,000 species of medicinal plants. One of them is a medicinal plant that is empirically used to overcome mental emotional disorders. Ristoja is an ethnomedicine study that needs further investigation. The research aims to prioritize/rank potential of medicinal plants for mental emotional disorders. The study analyzed secondary data of Ristoja in 2012, 2015, and 2017. Data were selected using the Weighted Product (WP) method to assess the priority of medicinal plants to be carried out in the next stage of research. Subsequent analysis of the WP method is used to determine the peringkat of medicinal plants. The results of the analysis show that of the 22 plants that caried out a literature search, there were only 9 medicinal plants that had the potential for mental emotional disorders, and were a priority for research. These plants are 1) Moringa oleifera (Kelor); 2) Sesbania grandiflora (Turi); 3) Spondias mombin (Yellow mombin); 4) Mimosa pudica (Putri malu); 5) Ocimum tenuiflorum (Lampes); 6) Basilicum polystachyon (Sangket); 7) Cocos nucifera (Kelapa); 8) Citrus aurantiifolia (Jeruk limau); 9) Caesalpinia sappan (Secang). These plants mostly work to suppress the central nervous system. Plants that have entered piority for mental disorders, can be performed pharmacologically and acute toxicity tests, in accordance with the stages of the development of traditional medicine in Indonesia. Abstrak Data Riset Kesehatan Dasar (Riskesdas) tahun 2018 menunjukkan proporsi gangguan mental emosional mengalami peningkatan dibanding Riskesdas 2013 (9,8% dari 6%), sehingga berpotensi menjadi gangguan jiwa yang perlu penanganan kompleks. Penggunaan obat dasar gangguan mental di pelayanan kesehatan primer dibatasi karena kurangnya petugas kesehatan yang kompeten dan berwenang, selain itu ketersediaan obat sangat rendah. Riset Tanaman Obat dan Jamu (Ristoja) dilakukan sejak tahun 2012 dan telah berhasil mengidentifikasi lebih dari 4.000 spesies tumbuhan obat, salah satunya adalah tumbuhan untuk mengatasi gangguan mental emosional. Ristoja merupakan studi etnomedisin yang perlu diteliti lebih lanjut. Penelitian bertujuan untuk melakukan prioritas/ peringkat tumbuhan obat berpotensi untuk gangguan mental emosional. Penelitian menganalisis data sekunder Ristoja tahun 2012, 2015, dan 2017. Data diseleksi menggunakan metode Weighted Product (WP) untuk menilai prioritas tumbuhan obat yang akan dilakukan penelitian pada tahap berikutnya. Analisis selanjutnya metode WP digunakan untuk menentukan peringkat tumbuhan obat. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa dari 22 tumbuhan yang dilakukan penelusuran literatur, hanya ada 9 tumbuhan yang berpotensi untuk gangguan mental emosional, serta menjadi prioritas untuk dilakukan penelitian. Tumbuhan tersebut adalah:1) Moringa oleifera (Kelor); 2) Sesbania grandiflora (Turi); 3) Spondias mombin (Yellow mombin); 4) Mimosa pudica (Putri malu); 5) Ocimum tenuiflorum (Lampes); 6) Basilicum polystachyon (Sangket); 7) Cocos nucifera (Kelapa); 8) Citrus aurantiifolia (Jeruk limau); 9) Caesalpinia sappan (Secang). Tumbuhan tersebut sebagian besar bekerja menekan sistem saraf pusat. Tumbuhan yang sudah masuk prioritas untuk gangguan mental, dapat dilakukan uji farmakologi dan toksisitas akut, sesuai dengan tahapan pengembangan obat tradisional di Indonesia.

Abstract A comparison was made of Canadian sphagnum peat (SP) and Philippine coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) coir dust (CD) as growing media components for greenhouse production of Dracaena marginata Bak. and Spathiphyllum Schott ‘Petite’. Three soilless foliage plant growing mixes (Cornell, Hybrid, University of Florida #2 [UF-2]) were prepared using either SP or CD and pine bark (PB), vermiculite (V), and/or perlite (P) in the following ratios (% by vol): Cornell = 50 CD or SP:25 V:25 P, Hybrid = 40 CD or SP:30 V:30 PB, UF-2 = 50 CD or SP: 50 PB. Dracaena root growth was not affected by treatments but there were significant mix × media component interactions that affected plant top growth parameters. In general, the growth and quality of D. marginata were reduced by using CD in Cornell, had no effect in Hybrid, and increased in UF-2. S. ‘Petite’ grew equally well in all growing mixes regardless of whether CD or SP was used; however, plants grew more in Cornell and Hybrid than in UF-2. S. ‘Petite’ roots, which were infested with Cylindrocladium spathiphylli, had higher grades when grown in CD than when the media contained SP.

Broussonetia papyrifera is an exotic tree widely grown for paper production. Due to its prolific regeneration it has invaded forestcanopy gaps and degraded farmlands and has now become an invasive species in Ghana. In enhancing its value for use the plantwas evaluated as potential forage for grazing animals vis-à-vis other two existing forage plants: Ficus exasperata and Leucaenaleucocephala.The study assessed the palatability and preference of Broussonetia papyrifera using sheep and goats for the wet anddry seasons.The species were assessed in indoor pen feeding trials using eight-unit (3×3 m) pens with the cafeteria method.The amount of forage offered was 100g (fresh material) in all instances for each species and for ten minutes. Adesign basedon 3×2×2 factorial in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was used to test the differences in palatability betweenthe three forage species.Results revealed that palatability was higher (P<0.05) in Leucaena leucocephala compared with Ficusexasperata and Broussonetia papyrifera for sheep and goats across seasons. The trend shown might be the result of the effectsof familiarity with the Leucaena leucocephala since animals tend to select plants that are familiar than newly introduced andunfamiliar plants. The study also revealed high level of condensed tannin (CT) in Broussonetia papyrifera which might haveinterfered with forage intake by the animals.There were no significant differences in palatability of Broussonetia papyrifera forgoat in both dry and wet season interactions and Ficus exasperata for goat in both dry and wet season interactions (P>0.05).Thestudy concluded that Broussonetia papyrifera could be a potential feed for both sheep and goats across seasons.The researchrecommended that livestock farmers should incorporate Broussonetia papyrifera feed into their programmes for both sheep andgoats and should be introduced to animals from infancy so that it may become a familiar feed for them.

Diabetes melitus merupakan suatu penyakit dengan adanya gangguan sekresi insulin baik karena penurunan sensitifitas maupun kerusakan pada sel beta. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membuktikan ekstrak daun petai cina (Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit) memiliki aktivitas menurunkan kadar gula darah mencit hiperglikemik pada dosis yang efektif. Penelitian antihiperglikemik ini menggunakan mencit putih sebanyak 30 ekor. Pengujian aktivitas antihiperglikemik dilakukan pada 6 kelompok perlakuan yaitu kelompok I (kontrol normal), kelompok II (kontrol negatif, induksi aloksan 200 mg/kg BB dan akuades), kelompok III (induksi aloksan dan glibenklamida 10 mg/kg BB), kelompok IV (induksi aloksan dan ekstrak daun petai cina 200 mg/kg BB), kelompok V (induksi aloksan dan ekstrak daun petai cina 400 mg/kg BB), kelompok VI (induksi aloksan dan ekstrak daun petai cina 300 mg/kg BB). Semua kelompok perlakuan diberikan perlakuan tersebut selama 14 hari dan dilakukan pengukuran kadar gula darah pada hari ke-0, 3, 10, dan 17. Aktivitas antihiperglikemik ekstrak daun petai cina ditunjukkan dengan cara menghitung daya hipoglikemik masing-masing perlakuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak etanol daun petai cina mempunyai aktivitas antihiperglikemik pada mencit yang diinduksi aloksan. Pada dosis uji ekstrak etanol daun petai cina 600 mg/kg BB mempunyai aktivitas antihiperglikemik yang efektif dibanding dengan dosis 400 mg/kg BB dan 200 mg/kg BB yang sebanding dengan kelompok kontrol positif.
