Background: In Indonesia, traditionally sea cucumber (Holothuria scabra) is often used as a cure gout. The purpose of the research is to determine the effects of sea cucumber (Holothuria scabra) extracts against liver histopathology picture mice (Mus musculus). Method: Mice used were male mice as much as 15 tails and were divided into 5 groups. Each group consisted of three mice. Group I as a positive control given allopurino l0.1%. The second group was given distilled water as a negative control. Group III, IV and V as the treatment group was given sea cucumber extract with each concentration of 5%, a concentration of 10% and 15% concentration. Result: The results were analyzed quantitatively, showed that the administration of potassium bromate showed the presence of fatty and necrosis. But after being given a sea cucumber extract with a concentration of 10% and a concentration of 15% still showed the presence of inflammatory cells and remnants of fatty liver (same as the picture of liver histopathology in the positive control). At a concentration of 5% normal liver histopathology same as the picture of liver histopathology in the negative control. Conclution: Sea cucumbers with a concentration of 5% can be used as a gout medicine without any side effects for conditions onal liver function.

Abstract: Pain is an unpleasant sensation that derives from the complex neurochemical processes in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Side effects of drugs inter alia opioids and NSAIDs can cause serious disorders, therefore, it is necessary to find and develop other effective analgesic drugs with low toxicity. In Indonesia, matoa (Pometia pinnata) is known as a typical plant in Papua especially in West Papua. In some countries, parts of matoa plants are used as traditional medicine. This study aimed to determine the analgesic effect of matoa bark extract (Pometia pinnata) on mice Mus musculus. This was an experimental study. Nine male mice weighed 30 g were divided into 3 groups, each consisted of 3 mice. Group I, the negative control group, was given aquadest; group II, the positive control group, was given aspirin solution; and group III, the treated group, was given matoa bark extract. Analgesic effect was determined by counting the mice movements (licking their back legs or jumping) during 1 minute in a beaker with a temperature of 550C. The results showed that after 30 minutes the average number of movements of the treated group decreased from 22 times to 19.3 times, and continued to decrease until 1 movement after 120 minutes. Conclusion: Matoa bark extract showed analgesic effect on mice Mus musculus.Keywords: analgesic effect, matoa bark, miceAbstrak: Nyeri adalah sensasi yang tidak menyenangkan yang berasal dari proses neurokimia kompleks di sistem saraf pusat dan perifer.

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a tuberculosis infection that is resistant to the treatment at least two of the most powerful anti-tuberculosis drugs, such as Isoniazid and Rifampisin. Increased cases of MDR-TB in morbidity and mortality become obstacles in the control of tuberculosis (TB), thus requiring supportive treatment of natural ingredients that can contribute in the treatment of TB, such a noni fruit. The main objective of this study was extract of noni fruits to inhibition the growth of strain MDR-TB bacteria, and compered it with the anti-TB drugs. The Morinda c. Linn (Noni) fruits was extraced by ethanol (96%). The extract was filtered through whatman No.1 filter paper, evaporated to dryness on a water bath until the solvent evaporated completely and yield of the crude extract. The experiment were divided into 3 groups, i.e.: negative control: group I; positive control: group II; crude extracts noni fruit: group III: combinations of crude extracts noni fruit and anti-TB drugs (K, AK, and OF). Each group was divided into three groups’ doses of 30 mg/ml, 40 mg/ml and 50 mg/ml. The Anti-tuberculosis activities of extracts noni fruit and K, AK, and OF against TB-MDR bacteria were tested by susceptibility test using proportion method in Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) media.The anti-tubercular activity of noni fruits was determined by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the bacterial growth at various doses 30 mg/ml, 40 mg/ml, and 50 mg/ml. The research design used post-test only contol group, and analyzed using analysis of variance and post hoct test. The extracted of Morinda c.Linn (noni) fruits have antitubercular activity to inhibiton of growth MDR-TB bacteria at various doses (p value=0,000). At a dose 30 mg/mlthe mean rate of the growth colonies of MDR TB-bacteria whit the mean rate 59,00 ± 27,81, and at a dose 40 mg/ml was1,50 ± 2,81. While at a dose of 50 mg/ml the bacterial colonies of MDR-TB did not grow in media. The combination of Morinda c.Linn (noni) fruit with anti-tuberculosis drugs, was the smallest groups to inhibit and eliminate MDR-TB bacteria at a dose 30 mg/ml(0,00 ± 00.00). The experimental results confirmed the extracted of Morinda c.Linn (noni) fruits have antitubercular activity as well as anti-TB drugs, and the combination of the extracted of Morinda c.Linn (noni) fruits and anti-TB drugs was the best groups to inhibiton of growth MDR-TB bacteria.   Keywords: TB-MDR Bacteria, Morinda c.

The previous study reported that Etlingera elatior (Wualae) has activity as immunostimulant with dose at 300 mg/kg BW and 400 mg/kg BW. Formulating natural product into effervescent granule (GE) can increase practicality and interest to consume traditional medicine. This study aims to investigate the immunostimulant activity of Wualae ethanolic extract in the effervescent granule. Wualae was macerated with ethanol then formulated into effervescent granule at dose 300 mg/kgBW and 400 mg/kgBW. Formulations were evaluated. Animals were divided into 4 groups and treated with: group I (positive control); group II (negative control); group III (GE dose at 300mg/kgBW); and group IV (GE at dose 400mg/kgBW) for 7 days and at days 8, groups were infected by Staphylococcus aureus intraperitoneally. Immunostimulant activity was measured by calculating the Specific Phagocytic Activity (SPA) of macrophage. Data collected from the evaluation and measurement of the SPA then analyzed using SPSS. Results from the evaluation were considered good except the moisture content of effervescent granule. Results from SPA was found that effervescent granule at dose 300 mg/kgBW and at dose 400 mg/kgBW have 26.33% and 32.5% consecutively with significance 0.02 (p<0.05). Thus, effervescent granule has comparable phagocytosis activity with positive control.
