JUICE ON CHOLINESTERASE ACTIVITY IN FARMERS EXPOSED TO ORGANOPHOSPHATE PESTICIDES","authors":"Devyana Dyah Wulandari, Andreas Putro Ragil Santoso, D.

The chE activity reduction will result in an increase in the amount of acetylcholine and will bound to muscarinic and nicotinic receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system which can lead to the onset of Alzheimer's disease. However, antioxidant products can slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease by protecting neurons from oxidative stress. Red Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) contains betalains and phenolic compounds which act as an antioxidants that are capable of preventing such illness. This study aims to prove the concept that antioxidant compounds in red beetroot juice can increase the chE activity in subjects exposed to organophosphate pesticides. This research is an observational study with an experimental approach. This research used 25 farmers who were exposed to organophosphate pesticides as respondents. They were given 500 ml of beetroot juice twice a day for 2 consecutive months. Cholinesterase levels were measured before and after consuming red beet juice. Measurement of cholinesterase levels was carried out using a kinetic photometric test. This method was developed based on recommendations from the German Society of Clinical Chemistry (DGKC). The results showed that the average of chE (U/L) Level Before Treatment was 8.102 and 8.380 after treatment with a p value 0,62. It can be concluded that there was an increase in the level of cholinesterase but it was not statistically significant. This may be caused by a different response to activity of cholinesterase after consuming beetroot juice in each subjects, age difference, smoking habits, and personal protective equipment.","PeriodicalId":158539,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Medical Laboratory Science and Technology","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128723642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, anemic children will indirectly affect the national development. The aim of this study is to observe the correlation between malnutrition, worm infection, parents income and knowledge on anemia prevalence among 6–9 years old children. The method of this research was a cross sectional study with a simple random sampling technique, consisted of 222 participants from Liliba Inpres Elementary School. This study was done by measuring children Body Mass Indeks (BMI) ––age to measure the z score and compare to WHO Children growth standard, by using microscope examination with direct method for identifying helminthiasis, by using questionaries to measure the parent knowledge and parent income and also by measuring haemoglobin values using POCT Device. The results showed that there are correlations between malnutrition and worm infection on anemia prevalence (p value 0.000). However, there are no correlations between parent’s knowledge (p value 0.469) and parent’s income on anemia prevalence among 6–9 years old children on Liliba Inpres Elementary School (p value 0.606). In conclusion, these findings confirm that malnutrition and worm infection was correlated with anemia prevalence on Liliba Inpres Elementary School Students so that they are advised to manage their nutritional intake and to practice personal hygiene.","PeriodicalId":158539,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Medical Laboratory Science and Technology","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132075068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shaking the red tube to avoid the intensity of the changed of blood that interacts with the glass surface of the tube will trigger the contact path in the coagulation cascade. Generally, the blood takes 30-60 minutes to clots at room temperature without shaking. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of shaking the red-cap blood collection tube in producing serum volume. The method of this study was experimental As much as 5 mL of blood was taken and put into 3 tubes with a volume of 1mL each tube. The first and the second tube were shaken 8 times. The first tube was incubated for 10 minutes while the second tube was incubated for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, the third tube (as a control) was not shaken but was incubated for 40 minutes. The tube were centrifuged at 3000 g for 10 minutes. The serum volume was measured using micropipette and collected into Eppendorf tube. The results showed that there were a difference in the number of serums formed after tube shaking by time variation (P = 0.002), the results of the Post Hoc Test using Bonferroni test while showed that the second tube did not have a difference in serum volume with control (P = 0.751). It can be concluded that the red-cap blood collection tube, which was shaken 8 times and incubated for 25 minutes long could accelerate the coagulation process.","PeriodicalId":158539,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Medical Laboratory Science and Technology","volume":"316 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116613368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For triglyceride, the laboratory technician must define whether samples with excess lipemia will be included in the study; this depends, in part, on whether the interferences affect the methods. In most laboratories, glass or plastic that is in direct contact associated with bio hazardous material is usually disposable. If not, it must be decontaminated according to appropriate protocols. Immediately rinsing glass or plastic supplies after use, followed by washing with a powder or liquid detergent designed for cleaning laboratory supplies and several distilled water rinses, may be insufficient. To ensure that all remaining fat from lipemic serum that attached to the tube wall has been removed, then the sterilization process is carried out so that a sterile tube is obtained. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of test tube sterilization from serum lipemic against levels of triglyceride GPO-PAP (Glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase-p-aminophenazone) examination. This research method was a laboratory experiment. We used 8 times repetition with tubes used first are given liquid fat and cleaned by sterilization, washed with surfactant and washed with water only. By using statistical tests ANOVA obtained of this study showed results p>0.05 which is mean the treatment that used did not show a significant difference in the treatment of ordinary water-washed tubes with sterilized tubes and surfactant washed tubes. The conclusion of this study is cleaning of the test tube with the sterilization method is recommended because to avoiding the fear of remaining pollutants that can affect the results, It can also minimize the life of bacteria and viruses from the sample to be examined. However, if the sterilization method is difficult to do because of limited equipment and so on, the use of surfactants and the correct method of cleaning the tube is enough to remove impurities such as fat.","PeriodicalId":158539,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Medical Laboratory Science and Technology","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131773553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
