Judul: Profil Kimia dan Toksisitas Jamu Berpotensi Antidiabetes yang Diformulasi dengan Metode Statistika dan Machine Learning
Abstrak: Pengetahuan tentang cara meracik ramuan jamu dan membuat komposisinya belum diketahui secara jelas. Saat ini upaya memformalkan struktur formula jamu telah dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan memformulasi jamu baru yang memiliki efek hipoglikemik, menentukan toksisitas, dan profil kimia jamu, serta membuat formula jamu optimum. Formulasi jamu menggunakan 3 metode, yaitu partial least square-determinant analysis (PLS-DA), koefisien PLS multiways, dan support vector machine (SVM) menghasilkan formula dari tanaman campuran, yaitu brotowali, secang, jambu biji, dan sambiloto. Persen komposisi tanaman campuran dianalisis menggunakan perancangan percobaan, diperoleh 9 komposisi formula jamu. Profil kimia setiap formula jamu ditentukan menggunakan metode kromatografi lapis tipis. Dari profil kimia setiap formula diperoleh rerata jumlah pita sebanyak 5 hingga 6 pita. Dari toksisitas formula diperoleh nilai rerata LC50 berkisar 426-639 ppm. Formula optimum diperoleh menggunakan piranti lunak Design Expert 7.0® dengan LC50 456 ppm. Nilai LC50 lebih kecil dari 1000 ppm, yang berarti formula jamu optimum berpotensi sebagai jamu antidiabetes

Judul: In vivo anti-diabetic assay of jamu formula and its chromatographic fingerprint analysis
Abstrak: Pengujian in vivo khasiat suatu formula jamu penting dilakukan sebelum dikonsumsi oleh manusia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membuktikan khasiat antidiabetes dari formula jamu biofarmaka secara in vivo dan menentukan profil sidik jari formula tersebut dengan analisis kromatografi. Uji in vivo menggunakan mencit yang diinduksi diabetes dengan streptozotosin. Efektivitas formula jamu dalam menurunkan kadar gula darah mencit dibandingkan dengan kontrol positif metformin. Berikutnya, metode kromatografi lapis tipis (KLT) dan kromatografi cair kinerja tinggi (KCKT) digunakan untuk menghasilkan profil sidik jari formula jamu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa formula jamu biofarmaka dapat menurunkan kadar gula darah mencit diabetes selama perlakuan. Hasil penurunan ini tidak berbeda nyata dengan kontrol positif. Kromatogram KLT formula jamu yang dielusi dengan toluena:aseton:asam asetat menunjukkan 5 pita yang terpisah dengan baik. Adapun analisis KCKT dengan elusi gradien fase terbalik dan fase gerak air:asetonitril dapat menghasilkan pola kromatogram yang dapat berfungsi sebagai sidik jari formula jamu. Kata kunci: analisis sidik jari, jamu antidiabetes, metformin, streptozotosin, In vivo assay of a jamu formula's efficacy is necessary before it is consumed by human. The aims of this study were proving the efficacy of biopharmaca antidiabetic jamu formula by in vivo assay and determine the formula fingerprint profiles with chromatographic analysis. In vivo assay was done using mice which were diabetic-induced by streptozotocin. The effectiveness of jamu formulas in reducing the mice blood sugar level was compared with metformin as a positive control. The fingerprint profiles of jamu formula were further generated by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods. The results showed that the formula of biopharmaca jamu could reduce the blood sugar levels during treatment. The result of this reduction was not significantly different to that of the positive control. TLC chromatogram jamu formula eluted using toluene:acetone:acetic acid showed 5 well-separated spots. The HPLC analysis with phase-reversed gradient elution and mobile phase of water:acetonitrile gave the chromatogram patterns which can serve as fingerprints of jamu formulas.

Judul: Distribution and Diversity of Ectoparasite Mites on Geckos in Indonesia
Abstrak: Data on the diversity and dispersal of parasitic mites on house geckos in Indonesia are very scarce. In this work, the distribution and diversity of mites living on three species of house geckos, namely Cosymbotus platyurus, Hemidactylus frenatus, and H. garnotii collected throughout Indonesia, has been elaborated. Geckos and mites were captured and immediately preserved in 70% ethanol. Whole mount of the mites was prepared by clearing in lactophenol followed by mounting on polyvinyl lactophenol solutions. The SEM preparation was conducted to examine the detail morphological characters of the mites. The results showed that among 448 individuals of geckos, 221 geckos were infected by Geckobia mites. Prevalences of C. platyurus, H. frenatus, and H. garnotii infested by mites were 14.8%, 50.69%, and 79.6%, respectively. Three different spesies of Geckobia (G1, G2, and G3) could be differentiated; and based on similarities of their morphological characters to ones described in published literatures, Geckobia G2 is Geckobia glebosum and Geckobia G3 is Geckobia bataviensis while G1 could not be identified to the species level. The highest mean intensity of Geckobia G1 infestation was found on H. garnotii (I=7.0), G. glebosum infestation on H. frenatus (I=3.5), and G. bataviensis infestation on H. garnotii (I=11.8). In general, C. platyurus was infested by the least number of mites. Geckobia G1 were found living on the skin folds on the claws, G. glebosum were found mainly on the body and thigh, and G. bataviensis were found on almost all parts of the host’s body. Geckobia mites are distributed randomly throughout Indonesian Archipelago, following the pattern of distribution of their hosts. So it is concluded that Geckobia G1, G. glebosum, and G. bataviensis are sympatric.
