https://bestjournal.untad.ac.id/index.php/Galenika/article/view/17045
<p><strong>Background:</strong> Family Planning is a way to regulate the number of children born and the spacing of pregnancies through information, education, and the use of contraceptives. Postpartum contraception is important to obtain an optimal interpregnancy interval. Postpartum contraception should be initiated early; one of which is Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC). Levonorgestrel can be used to prevent pregnancy because it interferes with ovulation, implantation, and fertilization. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the efficacy and effects of using levonorgestrel implants on breastfeeding and infant growth. <strong>Methods:</strong> Primary data were in the form of research papers obtained from PubMed®, and Google Scholar® published from the period 2010-2018. The keywords for the searches included: “levonorgestrel”, “levonorgestrel (LNG)-releasing implant”, “levonorgestrel on lactogenesis”, “levonorgestrel on infant growth”, and “levonorgestrel on breastfeeding”, which were used alone or in combination. <strong>Results:</strong> The 20 selected articles were reviewed based on five identified phrases. Levonorgestrel subdermal implants were shown to be a good choice for women who wanted effective contraception. When used by breastfeeding mothers, levonorgestrel subdermal implants affected neither infant growth (0-1 year of age) nor lactation duration. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> Levonorgestrel subdermal implants can be effective long-term contraception. These implants are safe for breastfeeding mothers and do not affect infant growth.</p>Yosi FebriantiSuci HanifahM.

https://bestjournal.untad.ac.id/index.php/Galenika/article/view/16399
<p><strong>Background:</strong> The peel of the fruit <em>Citrus reticulata </em>Blanco has long been used in traditional medicine due to its various properties. Traditional medicine from certain parts of medicinal plants is related to the content of bioactive compounds from the fruit's peel, such as phenolic compounds and flavonoids that can help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. <strong>Objectives: </strong>This study aimed to evaluate the total levels of phenolics and flavonoids as well as antioxidants from ethanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane extracts from the skin of <em>Citrus reticulata </em>Blanco using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil) and ABTS (2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazolin-6-sulphonate))) methods. <strong>Material and </strong><strong>Methods: </strong>The extraction process was carried out using the maceration ion method with ethanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane solvents at room temperature for 24 hours. Total phenolic and flavonoid levels in the extract were determined using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and antioxidant activity testing was determined based on the extract's ability to neutralize free radicals from DPPH and ABTS. <strong>Results:</strong> The results showed that the ethanol extract of <em>Citrus reticulata </em>Blanco fruit peel had higher total phenolic and flavonoid levels compared to ethyl acetate and n-hexane extracts. The total phenolic levels in ethanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane extracts were 142.02, 74.60, and 57.17 mg GAE/g, respectively. The total flavonoid levels in ethanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane extracts were 45.96, 40.22, and 38.54 mg QE/g, respectively. In addition, ethanol extract has also shown the strongest antioxidant activity based on the results of testing with DPPH and ABTS methods. The inhibitory concentration (IC<sub>50</sub>) of ethanol extract against DPPH and ABTS methods was 23,490 μg/mL and 31,971 μg/mL, respectively, with strong category. <strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study shows that the skin of <em>Citrus reticulata </em>Blanco fruit contains phenolic compounds and flavonoids that have the potential as natural antioxidants, with ethanol extract being the most promising related to total phenolic and flavonoid levels and antioxidant activity. This information can be used as a basis for developing pharmaceutical dosage products and health supplements that can potentially improve antioxidant/health status in the body.</p>Faizah Min FadhlillahMila MirantiDiki Prayugo WibowoDicki Bakhtiar Purkon

https://bestjournal.untad.ac.id/index.php/Galenika/article/view/16335
<p><strong>Background</strong>: Dengue Fever (DF) is a viral infection disease transmitted by <em>Aedes aegypti</em>. It is one of Indonesian endemic diseases that reported to occur throughout the year. To break the transmission chain of DF, the use of larvicides is preferred, especially using natural ingredients, such as bay leaves (<em>Syzygium polyanthum</em>). Polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a dispersant may prevent the clumping of material test so that it can be distributed evenly in water which is the medium of growth for larvae. <strong>Objectives</strong>: To determine the effectiveness of ethanolic extract of bay leaves (EEBL) in addition of PEG diluent on the mortality of <em>Aedes aegypti</em> larvae. <strong>Material and Method</strong>: Bay leaves as the main material were extracted using 95% of ethanol, and were applied in two variation concentration, 0.75% and 1%, while the diluent added was PEG. The samples used in this study were <em>Aedes aegypti</em> larvae at stages III-IV, with a total of 25 individuals for each treatment group. Evaluation was performed every 6 hours, for 24 hours, then the results were recorded and analyzed using the Kruskall Wallis test and the Mann Whitney test. <strong>Result</strong>: In both of variation concentration used, at 24 hours of observation it was obtained the mortality of <em>Aedes aegypti</em> larvae was 100%. The p-value obtained for the Kruskall Wallis test was <0.05. From Mann Whitney test, when each of treatment group was compared to the positive control, abate®, the p-value obtained is >0.05, while when they were compared to the negative control, PEG, the p-value obtained is <0.05. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: 95% ethanolic extract of bay leaves in addition of PEG diluent is effective as <em>Aedes aegypti</em> larvicides. It is also known that EEBL at concentration of 0.75% and 1% in addition of PEG are as effective as abate® as <em>Aedes aegypti</em> larvicides.</p>Dewi Listiana MasyitaSalsabila Tasya VionaBestari Rochmadina Suciwahyuni sri

Therefore, there is a need for chemopreventive agents from natural sources such as plants. One plant with potential as a chemopreventive agent is the matoa tree (<em>Pometia pinnata</em>), which is empirically used to treat suppurating wounds.<strong>Objectives:</strong> This research aims to test the toxicity of leaf and stem bark fractions of matoa using shrimp larvae Artemia salina Leach. <strong>Methods:</strong> The parameter for this study is the LC<sub>50 </sub>value. The extraction method involves successive maceration using solvents based on increasing polarity, starting with n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol. Phytochemical screening is conducted using colour tests, and toxicity is assessed through the brine shrimp lethality test. The research indicates that all fractions of matoa leaves and stem bark are toxic with respective LC<sub>50 </sub>values for leaf fractions: n-hexane (394.8 µg/mL), chloroform (244.3 µg/mL), ethyl acetate (180.6 µg/mL), and methanol (303.2 µg/mL). Stem bark fractions exhibit LC50 values in the order of n-hexane (203.9 µg/mL), chloroform (244.3 µg/mL), ethyl acetate (144.8 µg/mL), and methanol (58.3 µg/mL). <strong>Conclusions:</strong> All fractions fall into the toxic category and have the potential as raw materials for anti-cancer drugs.</p>Hamsidar HasanMuhammad TaupikA.
