Green tea (Camellia sinensis) has been widely known as a healthy drink since long time ago. One of the substances in green tea which can give health benefit is catechin, an antibacterial substance. The purpose of this research is to know the efficacy of rinsing with green tea extract to Streptococcus alpha growth on gingivitis patient’s dental plaque. The research subjects include 30 mild gingivitis patients, and these subjects are divided into two groups: treatment group (20 patients) and control group (10 patients). Ten patients of treatment group rinse their mouth with 0.25% green tea extract and 10 other patients with 0.5% green tea extract. Meanwhile, control group use Bactidol (0.1% Hexetidine). Rinsing the mouth is performed every morning and night for five days. Sampling is conducted on the first and sixth day. Before rinsing data is analyzed using ANOVA and the result shows a significant difference. ANAVA testing then is done using proportion value. ANAVA Testing result shows that there is no significant difference among the patients in the treatment group. This result indicates that the effect of rinsing with 0.25% and 0.5% green tea extract is equivalent to the control (0.1% Hexetidine) to inhibit S. alpha growth on mild gingivitis patient’s dental plaque. From these two concentrations, it has not been known which one is the most effective concentration to inhibit S. alpha growth on mild gingivitis patient.

This research aimed to optimize the total polyphenol content (TPC) extracted from soybean sprout powder under different experimental parameters, including ethanol concentration (60–100% v/v), extraction temperature (40–80 °C), extraction time (15–150 min), material:solvent ratio (1:4–1:10 g/mL), the number extraction cycles (1, 2 and 3 times), the age of sprout (0–7 days), and the used part of the sprout (cotyledon, hypocotyl, or radicle). The obtained results were used in response surface methodology, in combination with a central composite design, to model the total polyphenol content (TPC) with respect to three variables, including ethanol concentration, extraction temperature, and material:solvent ratio. The experimental conditions for optimal recovery of TPC consisted of ethanol concentration of 88% (v/v), extraction temperature of 59 °C, material:solvent ratio of 1:6.5 g/mL, extraction time of 60 min, and 2 cycles of maceration. In addition, for maximal TPC, the sprout should undergo the germination of 5 days and the radicle fraction should be used. Based on the suggested optimum conditions, the obtained and verified TPC was 19.801 mg genistein (GE)/g dry weight (d.w.). The obtained dried extract also exhibited low antioxidant activity.

Background: Considering the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties of green tea, this study aimed to evaluate the histopathological effect of the sulcular irrigation of green tea extract in the treatment of experimental gingivitis in rabbit. Materials and methods: For this experimental study, 45 male rabbits, separated in two groups, control non- irrigated group (5rabbits) and study group (40 rabbits), gingivitis induced by ligatures was packed subgingivally in the lower right central incisors of the experimental group for seven days. Then, the animals were randomly designated to two irrigated groups (20 rabbits for each) with 50µl/kg of distilled water and 5% green tea extract once daily for seven days starting from the day of ligature removal respectively. Specimens have taken at 1, 3, 7, and 14 days for light microscopical evaluation of inflammatory cellular infiltration. Results: Regarding study group (5% of green tea extract), results demonstrated a significant reduction in the mean values of inflammatory cell counts within three days (P≤ 0.05) to reach the amount of control group within seven days (P˃ 0.05). A highly significant difference was detected between control group and study group sprayed with distilled water during all healing periods (P≤ 0.05). Histological examination showed that the resolution of gingival inflammation, re-epithelization, and tissue healing were achieved much quicker in the group of gingival sulcular irrigation with 5% green tea extract. Conclusions: In this experimental study, the histopathological analysis demonstrated that the use of 5% extract of green tea as gingival sulcular irrigation might fasten healing after the induction of gingivitis. Keywords: green tea, animal model, gingival sulcular irrigation, experimental gingivitis.

Background: The type of injectable contraceptive that is currently widely used is Depo Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA) which contains the hormone progestin, which is a synthetic material from progesterone. The use of progestin contraceptives can reduce endometrial proliferation and increase apoptosis in endometrial tissue. Cell apoptosis is triggered by an imbalance between positive signals (cell growth factors) and negative signals (DNA damage and increased levels of oxidants) under conditions of oxidative stress. Apoptosis of oocytes in large numbers will cause tissue damage which is characterized by atrophy of the ovaries and causes decreased reproductive function. Oxidative stress can be overcome with endogenous and exogenous antioxidants to reduce free radicals in the body. Green tea is one of the herbal plants that act as antioxidants and phytoestrogens, through the polyphenol compounds contained therein.Purpose: To know the role of green tea in providing protective effects on the ovaries, endometrium and aorta in rats.Methods : The research design used in this study was a true experiment with a post test only control group design approach. In this study, the researchers treated green tea extract at a dose of 10.8 mg/rat/day, 21.6 mg/rat/day, and 43.2 mg/rat/day and exposure to DMPA at a dose of 2.7 mg/rat/day. Green tea extract was administered orally for 28 days. The research hypothesis is that green tea can increase the number of follicles, the number of endometrial glands and reduce the arteriosclerosis score of blood vessels. The preparations were stained by the Hemotoxin-Eosin (HE) method and using the OlyVIA software.Result: There was a significant decrease in the number of corpus luteum, endometrial glands and arteriosclerosis scores due to DMPA exposure but not on the number of follicles. Green tea extract was able to increase the number of endometrial glands at a dose of 10.8 mg/day, but there was no significant difference between doses. Green tea extract was able to reduce arteriosclerosis scores, but the most effective dose was 43.2 mg/day.Conclusion: DMPA exposure was able to significantly reduce the number of corpus luteum, the number of endometrial glands and arteriosclerosis score, but there was no significant difference in the number of primary, secondary, tertiary and de Graff follicles, there was a difference in the number of corpus luteum in the group exposed to DMPA, green tea extract was able to increase the number of endometrial glands and decrease the arteriosclerosis score.Suugestion It is necessary to determine the phase of the reproductive cycle before calculating the number of follicles and examining the level of the hormone estrogen to determine whether the experimental animal has become a hypoestrogen model or not. Keywords : Progesterone, Contraception, Green Tea, Antioxidant ABSTRAK Latar Belakang : Jenis kontrasepsi suntik yang saat ini banyak digunakan adalah Depo Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA) yang mengandung hormon progestin yaitu bahan sintestis dari progesteron. Penggunaan kontrasepsi progestin dapat menurunkan proliferasi endometrium dan meningkatkan apoptosis pada jaringan endometrium. Apoptosis sel dipicu karena adanya ketidakseimbangan antara sinyal positif (faktor pertumbuhan sel) dan sinyal negatif (kerusakan DNA dan peningkatan kadar oksidan) pada kondisi stress oksidatif. Apoptosis pada oosit dalam jumlah yang besar akan mengakibatkan kerusakan jaringan yang ditandai dengan terjadinya atrofi pada ovarium dan menyebabkan fungsi reproduksi menurun. Stress oksidatif dapat diatasi dengan antioksidan endogen dan eksogen untuk menurunkan radikal bebas dalam tubuh. Teh hijau merupakan salah satu tanaman herbal yang berperan sebagai antioksidan dan fitoestrogen, melalui senyawa polifenol yang terkandung didalamnya.Tujuan : Mengetahui peran teh hijau dalam meberikan efek protektif terhadap ovarium, endometrium dan aorta pada tikus.Metode : Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah true experiment dengan pendekatan post test only control group design. Dalam penelitian ini perlakuan peneliti adalah pemberian ekstrak teh hijau dengan dosis 10,8 mg/tikus/hari, 21,6 mg/tikus/hari, dan 43,2 mg/tikus/hari dan paparan DMPA dosis 2,7 mg/tikus/hari pada tikus. Ekstrak teh Hijau diberikan secara oral selama 28 hari. Hipotesis penelitian adalah teh hijau mampu meningkatkan jumlah folikel, jumlah kelenjar endometrium dan menurunkan skor arteriosklerosis pembuluh darah. Preparat diwarnai dengan metode Hemotoxin-Eosin (HE) dan menggunakan software OlyVIA.Hasil : Terjadi penurunan jumlah korpus luteum, kelenjar endometrium dan skor arteriosklerosis akibat paparan DMPA secara bermakna namun tidak pada jumlah folikel. Ekstrak teh hijau mampu meningkatkan jumlah kelenjar endometrium pada dosis 10.8 mg/hari, namun tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antar dosis. Ekstrak teh hijau mampu menurunkan skor arteriosklerosis, namun yang paling efektif adalah dosis 43.2 mg/hari.Kesimpulan : Paparan DMPA mampu menurunkan jumlah korpus luteum, jumlah kelenjar endometrium dan skor arteriosklerosis secara bermakna, namun tidak ada perbedaan yang bermakna pada jumlah folikle primer, sekunder, tersier dan de Graff, ada perbedaan jumlah korpus luteum pada kelompok yang dipapar DMPA, ekstrak teh hijau mampu meningkatkan jumlah kelenjar endometrium  dan menurunkan skor arteriosklerosis.Saran Perlu menentukan fase siklus reproduksi sebelum dilakukan perhitungan jumlah folikel dan pemeriksaan kadar hormon estrogen untuk menentukan apakah hewan coba sudah menjadi model hypoestrogen atau belum. Kata Kunci :  DMPA, Kontrasepsi, Teh Hijau, Antioksidan

Despite its high nutritional value, antioxidants are used in aquaculture products that have a short lifetime, as in other foods, to maintain quality during preservation. The purpose of this study; It is to observe the oxidative stability of sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) fillets at 0-4 ℃ using green tea extract obtained by classical brewing method, which is a method that can be applied by the consumer with ease. Determined concentrations (0.4-0.8-1.2 g / ml) and immersion times (10-20 min) green tea extract is applied and the fillets stored at 0-4 Thiobarbituric acid reagents (TBARs) analysis, sensory analysis and color analysis were performed on days 0, 3, 6 and 9 of storage. Depending on the literature, although no significant effect is expected, total aerobic mesophilic bacteria (TAMB) analysis was also performed additionally. As a result of the analyzes, significant differences were found when the TBARs results of all samples with green tea extract applied were compared with the results of the control group after 9 days of storage (p <0.05). At the end of storage, the 4th group (0.8% g / ml-20min) gave the best results with 0.31 ± 0.009 μ mol MDA / g and there is a significant difference was found between the other groups (p <0.05). Green tea extract; As expected, it was determined that it did not have a significant antimicrobial and sensory effect. The color values caused a negative increase in the a * value, which expresses its green color as expected due to the color substances in its content, and a positive increase in the b * values, which express the yellow color. As a result of this study, it was found that green tea extract can be used as natural antioxidant in sea bass fillets.

The pathological pathway of endometriosis remains unclear and involves complex etiologies. Increased oxidative stress is understood to be related to this disease. Oxidative stress produces reactive oxygen species, causes inflammation that is characterized by recruiting lymphocytes and phagocyte activation, produces cytokines that induce oxidation enzyme, and supports epithelium growth. Oxidative stress conjointly will increase angiogenesis and promotes the proliferation of endometriosis tissue within the peritoneal cavity. Kebar grass and green tea contain high antioxidants, are expected to extend antioxidant defense leading to reduced oxidative stress, inflammation, angiogenesis, and reduced endometriosis tissue implants. The objective is to analyze the consequences of Kebar grass and green tea extract to MDA serum level, TNF-α, and VEGF expression, and the area of the endometriotic implants in the mice models.  The study was an experiment designed. It has been conducted within the Department of Obstetrics Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine Diponegoro University and Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Airlangga University. Twenty-one mice were divided into three groups, i.e., the first group of mouse models was given Kebar extract 3 mg/day; the second group was assigned green tea extract 1.1 mg/day; therefore the third group was a control group contains the untreated endometriosis mice. Each treatment was given for fourteen days. MDA serum level was measured by specto-photometric examination, the area of the endometriotic implants was measured by computer tracing technique, whereas TNF-α and VEGF expression of endometriotic implants were measured by IHC using Rammele Scale Index (ImmunoReactive Score). The MDA serum levels of the groups treated with Kebar grass extract and green tea extract were significantly lower than the control group (0.09±0.022 mmol, 0.07±0.019 mmol, and 0.30±0.062 mmol, respectively; p=0.001). TNF-α expression of the groups supplied with each treatment also lower than the control groups (2.43±1.521, 3.66±1.422, and 7.26±2.898, respectively; p=0.002). However, VEGF expression was not significantly different between Kebar grass extract group, green tea group, and the control (4.34±2.402, 4.57±1.998, 7.40±3.495, respectively; p=0.089). Finally, the area of the endometriotic implants of the mice models administered with all treatment was smaller than the control group (0.01±0.025 mm2, 8.76±18.776 mm2, and 34.80±13.079 mm2, respectively; p=0.003). Conclusion: Kebar grass extract, as well as green tea extract administration to endometriosis model mice, resulted in lower MDA serum level and TNF-α expression, smaller the area of endometriotic implants compared, but not resulted in a significant difference of VEGF expression.
