Phaleria macrocarpa (Scheff.) Boerl. has been widely used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus but its effectiveness is still inconclusive so it needs to be compared with standard drugs such as metformin. This study aims to analyze the effects of P. macrocarpa fruit extracts on blood sugar levels and the repairing of the pancreatic Langerhans islets of diabetic rat models. The study was conducted experimentally by pre and post-test design with a control group. Thirty white rats were divided into 6 groups. All rats were treated with 40 mg/200 g BW of streptozotocin (STZ) to induce hyperglycemia, except group I. Group II as a negative control was given with aquadest. Group III, IV, and V were given with ethanol extract of P. macrocarpa pericarps at doses of 200, 250, and 300 mg/200 g BW/day, respectively. Group VI was given with metformin at a dose of 150 mg/200 g BW/day. On the 22nd day of treatment, blood specimens were taken for examination of fasting blood sugar levels and pancreatic organs were analyzed for histopathological examination of the islets of pancreatic Langerhans. The data were statistically analyzed with α<0.05; CI95%. Paired sample t-test results showed a significant decrease in blood sugar levels before and after treatment in group V (p-value=0.048). One way anova and post hoc Least Significant Difference (LSD) test results showed a significant difference in mean blood sugar levels after the final treatment between groups I and II (p-value=0.013), I and III (p-value=0.004), I and IV (p-value=0.002), I and VI (p-value=0.000), II and VI (p-value=0.031), and V with VI (p-value=0.005); one way anova and post hoc LSD test results showed a significant difference in the mean area of islets of pancreatic Langerhans between group I and all treatment groups (p-value=0.000), II with V and VI (p-value=0.000 and 0.009), III with V and VI (p-value=0.000 and 0.001), and IV with V (p-value=0.003). It can be concluded that the extract of P. macrocarpa pericarps showed a hypoglycemic effect and repaired the damage in Langerhans islets of STZ-induced rat in a dose-dependent manner.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic abnormality leading to an increase in the plasma concentration of glucose and is a major cause of stroke and peripheral circulatory disorders. Momordica charantia (MC), commonly known as bitter gourd/Karela, and Trigonella foenum-graecum (TFG) (fenugreek/Methi) have several medicinal values like anti-diabetic, lipid-lowering property, anti-oxidant activity, anti-inflammatory, and anti-mutagenic activity. This is an open-label, four-parallel-group, prospective interventional clinical trial with a total number of 48 patients enrolled in the study and divided into four equal groups (12 in each group) viz; Group I (allopathic drug), Group II (allopathic drug and Karela (MC), Group III (allopathic drug and Methi (TFG) and Group IV (allopathic drug, methi, and karela). Blood sugar and lipid profile were measured at day 0 and day 90. One way ANOVA test was applied to find the significant difference between the groups and Tukey HSD post hoc test was applied for multiple comparisons among the four groups with probability p-value 0.05%. Multiple comparisons by post-hoc analysis between groups on day 90 showed a significant reduction of fasting blood sugar by 19.0% (p = 0.021), postprandial blood sugar by 35.0% (p= 0.001), total serum cholesterol by 14.0% (p= 0.000), serum triglyceride by 21.0% (p=0.000), and serum LDL cholesterol by 17.0% (p= 0.000)ingroup receiving Karela and fenugreek seeds supplementation. Whereas serum HDL cholesterol on the 90th day was higher in the group by 10.0% (p=0.015) receiving only fenugreek seeds as a supplementation. Fenugreek and karela, when given as a supplement, have a beneficial effect on blood sugar and lipid profile.

Diabetes mellitus is a disease that often causes diabetic nephropathy complications due to persistent hyperglycaemia. Phaleria macrocarpa (scheff. Boerl)  is one of the plants that has been widely used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, but its effect on the risk of diabetic nephropathy is still unknown. A dose of 300mg / 200gbb / day is known as an effective dose that can significantly reduce blood sugar levels in diabetic rat. The Streptozotocin Effect (STZ) causes damage to the pancreas and causes hyperglycaemia. This study aims to compare the effect of Phaleria macrocarpa (scheff. Boerl) fruit extracts on urea and creatinine levels as a parameter of kidney function in hyperglycaemic mouse models. The study was carried out experimentally using the post-test only with control group design. Fifteen white rats were divided into 3 groups. All rats were induced with 40 mg / 200gbb of Streptozotocin (STZ) to experience hyperglycaemia. Group I as negative control was given aquades. Group II was given ethanol extract of Phaleria macrocarpa (scheff. Boerl) with a dose of 300 mg / 200gbw / day. Group III was given Metformin at a dose of 150 mg / 200gbw / day. On the 22nd day of treatment, blood specimens were taken for examination of urea and creatinine levels. The research data were statistically analyzed with α <0.05; CI95%. The mean of urea levels in Group I (79.80 ± 25.09 mg / dl), II (76.00 ± 22.59 mg / dl and III (59.60 ± 6.35 mg / dl). Kruskal-Wallis test results showed no significant difference in urea levels between treatment groups (p value = 0.273; CI95%). The mean of creatinine levels in Group I (0.68 ± 0.07 mg / dl), II (0.63 ± 0.14 md / dL) and III (0.98 ± 0.25 mg / dL). One Way Anova and Post hoc test results showed a significant difference in mean creatinine levels between Groups I and III (p = 0.014; 95% CI) and II with III ( p value = 0.006; CI95%). the results of this study can be concluded that the extract of Phaleria macrocarpa (scheff. Boerl) fruit flesh at a dose of 300 mg / 200gbb has better effectiveness than metformin dose 150 mg / 200gbb in repairing the kidney function of hyperglycaemia rats.

INTRODUCTION: By examining the relationship between changes in maximum mild-expiratory flow( MMEF) and specific airway conductance(sGaw), parameters with the change in FEV1 when evaluating the spirometer test and the bronchodilator response, we investigated their diagnostic contribution to the bronchodilator response in those with partial responses to FEV1. METHODS: The retrospective study sample consists of data from 112 patients between Jun 1, 2019, and Feb 1, 2020 who applied to the pulmonary function laboratory with a pre-diagnosis of bronchial hyperreactivity as well as body plethysmography test performed together with the reversibility test. RESULTS: MMEF% and ▲sGaw were linearly correlated with ▲FEV1 (respectively r = 0.752; p <0.001, r = 0.611; p <0.001). While there was a significant difference between ▲MMEF% and ▲sGaw between reversible, partially reversible, and irreversible groups (P <0.001), there was no significant difference in ▲sGaw between partial reversible and reversible groups in post-hoc comparisons (P> 0.05). In the binary logistic regression model created between the partially reversible and reversible groups, demographic characteristics, MMEF% and ▲sGaw variables, ▲MMEF was an independent predictor [OR: 1.132; 95% CI (1.036-1.238), p = 0.006]. The 24% threshold for absolute reversibility or partial reversibility calculated with MMEF% was significant, indicating significance at 86.2% sensitivity and 80.8% specificity (AUC: 0.811, 95% CI: 0.686-0.936; p <0.001). This value we found defined 81% of the partially reversible group as reversible. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: We observed that ▲sGaw alone didn' have a determinant contribution for determining reversibility in bronchodilator response, which showed partial reversibility with respect to FEV1 change. We believe that ▲MMEF% can be an independent predictor between these two groups and the calculated threshold value of 24% can be used as a criterion for determining the reversibility in cases where FEV1 is not determinant.

Background/Aim. A modern approach to surgical treatment of tuboperitoneal infertility is based on laporascopic techniques. The aim of this study was to compare results of tuboperitoneal infertility treatment by the use of laparoscopy and classical laparotomy. Methods. A retrospectiveprospective study on 66 women treated operatively form tuboperitoneal infertility was performed. Data from patient's anamnesis and those related to the surgical treatment results, obtained by the use of an inquiry, were used in retrospective and prospective analysis, respectively. Chi-square test was used in statistical analysis. P value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results. Classical laparotomy was used on 34 women in a period from 1996 to 1997, while 32 women were operated laparoscopically in a period from 1999 to 2000. The results were as follows: a total number of conceived women was 16 (24%), seven in the group I (20.6%) and nine in the group II (28.1%); 13 women were with one pregnancy, six in the group I (17.6%) and seven in the group II (22%). Twice pregnant were three women, one in the group I (2.9%) and two in the group II (6.2%). The resulting pregnancies were: five women with abortion spontaneous, two in the group I (5.9%) and three in the group II (9.4%); two women with extrauterine pregnancy in the group I (5.9%); three with pretemporal birth, one in the group I (2.9%) and two in the group II (6.2%), while six women were with the temporal birth, two in the group I (5.9%) and four in the group II (12.5%). Statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the results between these two groups. Conclusion. Surgical treatment of tubeperitoneal infertility, regardless of the used methods (classical laparotomy or laparoscopy) was successful in a great number of women. These methods have a great advantage over in vitro fertilization, and they should not be ignored.
