Nugroho AA, Hikmayanti NH, Djumaga S. 2012. Effect of salam (Syzygium polyanthum) leaf extract to decrease blood triglyceride level on white rats. Biofarmasi 10: 40-45. This study aimed to determine the effect of bay [Syzygium polyanthum (Wight) Walp.] leaf extract to decrease the blood triglyceride level of white rats (Rattus norvegicus). This research was an laboratory experimental research with pre and post-test design with control group. This research used 30 Wistar white rats, with ±200 g body weight and the age of ±2 months, divided into 5 groups by a random sampling, six rats per group. Group I was a negative control, group II was a positive control, groups III, IV and V was treated with the bay leaf extract in the doses of I, II and III. All groups were fed of hyperkolemia, group II was treated by Gemfibrozil 20 mg/200 g BW/day, while groups III, IV and V were treated by the bay leaf extract with the doses of 0.18 g, 0.36 g and 0.72 g/200 g BW/day. The study was conducted for 35 days. On the 28th and 35th day, the blood of all rats was taken from orbital vein for blood triglyceride levels measured in pre-test and post-test. The data were statistically analyzed with One-Way ANOVA test and a post-hoc test. There were significant differences between pre-test and post-test in the levels of blood triglycerides of white rats (p<0.001), in which a post-hoc test results showed the comparison between negative control and Gemfibrozil was p<0.001, and the comparison between the groups of the bay leaf extract with Gemfibrozil was p>0.05, and the comparison of three doses of bay leaf extract was p>0.05. The provision of bay leaf extract could reduce the blood triglyceride levels of white rats significantly compared with the negative control, whereas the effects of three doses of bay leaf extract was comparable with the effects of Gemfibrozil.

ABSTRACTMosquitoes are type of insect that acts as a disease vector. One of them is Culex sp mosquitos which their existence is many around us. In Indonesia there are still a lot of disease cases that caused by Culex sp mosquitos, one of them is filariasis disease. The efforts to control thecurrent population of Culex sp mosquitoes mostly use chemical insecticides. The control becomes difficult because of the resistance to chemical insecticides and adversely affects the environment. This study aims to determine the potential of jackfruit leaf extract as biolarvasida against Culex sp. The type of this study was post test onlycontrolled group design, using 625 larvae Culex sp instar III, divided into 5 groups (negative control group, 0.25% extract, 0.50% extract, 0.75% extract, extract and 1% extract). Observation was performed 24 hoursafter the treatment and counted the number of larvae death.The data were analyzed by Kruskal Wallis test followed by Post Hoc Mann-Whitney U test to determine the killing power of leafy leaf extractusing Probit analysis. The results of data analysis in this study were thedeath rate percentage of larvae after 24 hours treatment was 0% incontrol, 44% in 0.25%extract, 52% in0.50% extract, 60% in 0.75%extract,while in the extract group of 1%, the number of larval deaths was 72%. Itobtained results with significant differencein some treatment groups thatwere concentrations of 0.25% - 1%. Probit analysis showed that LC50 wasat 0.382% concentration.From results of the studyit can be concluded that jackfruit leaf extract(Artocarpus heterophyllus Lamk) was potential as Culex sp mosquitobiolarvacide. So it is necessary to conduct further research on the effectsof compounds that contained in other plant parts such as flowers, stemsand roots which will be expected to have a function asbiolarvasida.Keywords: Leaf Jackfruit, Biolarvasida, Mosquito Culex sp

ABSTRACTObjective: Studies about the dispersion of hydroxyl ions through dentin of endodontically retreated teeth are scarce. The present study aims at examining the diffusion of calcium hydroxide in vitro by recording the pH changes of retreated root canal using two types of calcium hydroxide preparations. Materials and Methods: A total of 45 recently extracted single-rooted mandibular first premolars were collected and cleaned from calculus and remains of periodontal tissue. The teeth so collected were stored in thymol 10% solution till use. During collection, teeth with cracks, open apices, and restorations were excluded. Root canal preparations were performed using Protaper rotary system files, till #F3 file. All canals were obturated using cold lateral condensation and zinc oxide-based sealer. After 7 days, all gutta-percha were removed and the canals were irrigated with normal saline. The teeth were then randomly distributed into three groups. Canals in Group I were kept empty without any dressing to serve as a negative control group, Canals in Group II were filled with a freshly prepared mixture of calcium hydroxide powder with normal saline solution, and Group III was filled with Metapex. Periodically, the calcium hydroxide material was removed and the pH was measured using pH meter at 7, 10, 14, and 30 days. Results: The pH values of Group II and III ranged between 9.2 and 11.2. This was found to be highly significant against the negative control group. After 7 and 10 days, freshly mixed Ca(OH)2 showed the higher pH than the creamy Metapex, and statistically the difference was highly significant after 10 days (P<0.001). After 14 days, Metapex group pH was higher than freshly mixed Ca(OH)2, but it was not statistically significant as they reached nearly the same pH after 30 days (P>0.05). Conclusion: All Ca(OH)2 preparations had high pH around the roots after 7 and 10 days. Metapex continued to have higher pH after 14 days.
