Zemahşerî’nin el-Minhac fî Usûli’d-Din Adlı Eseri ve Beyan Üslubu
Authors: Avcı Hüseyin
Published: September 2021

İslamî ilimler başta olmak üzere Arap edebiyatı, belagat, nahiv ve sözlükçülük alanlarında yazdığı eserlerle yaşadığı çağa damga vuran Zemahşerî, sadece o döneme değil günümüz ilim ve fikir dünyasına da ışık tutmuştur. Bir ilim ve kültür merkezi olması yanında Mu’tezile itikadının kalesi konumunda olan Harezmde doğup yetişen Zemahşerî, itizalî fikirlerini devasa eseri Keşşâfta ayrıntılı olarak serdetmiş, bununla birlikte Mutezile itikadının ilke ve esaslarını konu edindiği müstakil bir akaid eseri de kaleme almıştır. Çalışmamıza da esas olan el-Minhâc fî Usûli’d-Dîn adlı bu eser imamet meselesi dışında kelama dair tüm konuları mündemiç olup, soru cevap üslubuyla veciz bir şekilde kaleme alınmıştır. İtikadî meselelere yaklaşımında nasslar ışığında akla ve duyulara öncelik veren Zemahşerî ve Mu’tezile kelamcıları, İslâm dininde iman esaslarının temellendirilmesi, sistematik hale getirilmesi, izah ve ispat edilmesi, karşı delil ve fikirlerin çürütülmesini kendilerine vazife kabul etmişlerdir. Zemahşerî’nin günümüze kadar ulaşabilen eserlerinden biri olan el-Minhâc, küçük bir risale mahiyetinde olup, müellif İslam inanç esaslarına dair görüş ve kabullerini Kur’ân ayetleri, hadisler ve en çok da aklî çıkarımlarla ispat yolunu seçmiştir.
Community Pharmacist–Led Medication Reviews
Authors: Harris Jonathan , Argáez Charlene
Published: September 2021

Community pharmacist–led medication reviews are widely used in Canada and internationally.

It has been shown that community pharmacist–led medication reviews can identify medication issues. Broadly speaking, pharmacists feel qualified to deliver this service and, from the few studies that measured patient satisfaction, patients find value in receiving a medication review in a community pharmacy.

In terms of patient and health system outcomes, community pharmacist–led medication reviews seem to have limited impact. Individuals living with defined chronic conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension, or those living with multiple chronic conditions seem most likely to benefit.

No studies of cost-effectiveness in the Canadian context were identified.

A variety of barriers that impact pharmacist-led medication reviews were identified in the literature, including:

limited communication between community pharmacists and prescribers resulting in pharmacists’ recommendations not being implemented

a lack of time on the part of pharmacists

challenges with patient selection.

Policy interventions that may help alleviate these barriers include:

incentivizing communication and collaboration between pharmacists and prescribers

reducing administrative burden

improving access to patient information

enhancing patient selection by incentivizing service provision for the most medically complex patients.
Sustainability of Chronic Kidney Disease Care
Authors: Harris Jonathan , Argáez Charlene
Published: September 2021

Strategies to contain the cost of chronic kidney disease (CKD) care and to improve patient outcomes were found across the continuum of care, from prevention and early disease management through later-stage interventions such as conservative management, dialysis, and transplantation. A variety of health system strategies, including funding reform, were identified to help support and enable sustainable CKD care.

For those at risk of CKD or in early stages of the disease, public health interventions to support healthy behaviours and ensure access to primary health care seem crucial to preventing or delaying disease progression.

For later-stage patients requiring renal replacement therapy, enhancing access to transplantation and home-based dialysis has the potential to reduce costs while improving outcomes and quality of life. Conservative management without dialysis is an option for those who may not be good candidates for renal replacement therapy or who wish to choose a less-invasive care option.

From a health system policy perspective, funding reform may be warranted to enhance team-based CKD care with good continuity. Policy-makers should also consider the ways in which improving financial supports for caregivers, providing travel and expense reimbursement for home dialysis patients and living organ donors, and providing support for utility and ancillary costs of home dialysis could incentivize sustainable CKD care.
Dinutuximab (Unituxin)
Authors: Team Reimbursement
Published: September 2021

CADTH recommends that Unituxin (in combination with irinotecan, temozolomide, and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor [GM-CSF]) should be reimbursed by public drug plans for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory high-risk neuroblastoma if certain conditions are met.

Unituxin should only be reimbursed if delivered in a specialized pediatric cancer centre by health care professionals with experience and knowledge of managing neuroblastoma and the toxicities of anti-GD2 therapy and if the cost of Unituxin is reduced.

Unituxin should only be covered for patients who have not had previous treatment for relapsed or refractory high-risk neuroblastoma or have not had a severe reaction or progressive disease with upfront anti-GD2 immunotherapy.

Budesonide (Jorveza)
Authors: Reimbursement Team
Published: September 2021

CADTH recommends that Jorveza should be reimbursed by public drug plans for the maintenance of remission in adults with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) if certain conditions are met.

Jorveza should only be reimbursed if prescribed by a specialist with experience in the diagnosis and management of EoE, and the cost of Jorveza is reduced.

Jorveza should only be covered for adult patients who have a confirmed diagnosis of EoE, in whom treatment with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) did not work, and whose symptoms (dysphagia and pain during swallowing) have resolved after receiving induction treatment with Jorveza.
Anesthesia Care Provided by Nurses
Authors: Banerjee Srabani , Askin Nicole
Published: September 2021

One systematic review, 4 primary studies (observational studies: 3 retrospective and 1 prospective), and 1 economic evaluation were identified.

A definitive conclusion is not possible regarding the clinical effectiveness of anesthesia provided by non-physician anesthetists compared with physician anesthetists, considering the evidence was from studies of low quality that were associated with considerable risk of bias, and there were inconsistencies in the findings.

The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for physician anesthesiologists compared with nurse anesthetists was US$77,400 per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained. The 1-way sensitivity analyses showed that with an increase in the cost of nurse anesthetist professional services or an increase in the number of unexpected hospital days, the ICER values would fall below US$50,000 per QALY gained.
Occupational Screening for Latent Tuberculosis Infection
Authors: Khangura Sara D. , Severn Melissa
Published: September 2021

In people at risk of occupational exposure to tuberculosis, targeted testing for latent tuberculosis infection (e.g., testing for high-risk individuals, testing after tuberculosis exposure) appears to be more cost-effective than repeated testing, such as testing once a year or every 3 years (findings based on 2 economic evaluations that assessed the cost-effectiveness of repeated latent tuberculosis infection screening in workers of health care settings).
Budesonide-Glycopyrronium-Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate (Breztri Aerosphere)
Authors: Reimbursement Team
Published: September 2021

CADTH recommends that Breztri Aerosphere be reimbursed by public drug plans for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema if certain conditions are met.

Breztri Aerosphere should only be covered to treat patients who are not controlled on optimal dual inhaled therapy for COPD.

Breztri Aerosphere should be reimbursed similar to Trelegy Ellipta. The price of Breztri Aerosphere should not exceed the drug program cost with the least-costly fixed-dose inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting muscarinic antagonist/long-acting beta2-agonist (ICS/LAMA/LABA) triple therapy combination for the same indication.
Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor and Ivacaftor (Trikafta)
Authors: Reimbursement Team
Published: September 2021

CADTH recommends that Trikafta be reimbursed by public drug plans for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) in patients aged 12 years and older who have at least 1 F508del mutation in the CFTR gene if certain conditions are met.

Trikafta should be reimbursed for patients who have a percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (ppFEV1) of 90% or less at the onset of Trikafta treatment.

At least 1 of the following must be demonstrated after 6 months of treatment with Trikafta: an increase of at least 5% in ppFEV1, a decrease in the number of pulmonary exacerbations or number of days that antibiotics needed to be taken for pulmonary exacerbations, a decrease in CF-related hospitalizations, no decline in BMI, or an improvement of at least 4 points in the CFQ-R respiratory domain scale. The price of Trikafta must be lowered to be cost-effective and affordable.

Bupropion for Major Depressive Disorder or Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia)
Authors: MacDonald Erika , Horton Jennifer
Published: September 2021

Direct and indirect evidence from 6 systematic reviews did not demonstrate a difference in treatment response or remission rates, or functional outcomes, with bupropion as compared to other antidepressants in adults with major depressive disorder.

Direct and indirect evidence from 5 systematic reviews did not demonstrate a difference in overall adverse events, overall withdrawals, or withdrawals due to adverse events apart from a possible decreased risk of withdrawal due to adverse events with vortioxetine in a single indirect comparison.

Direct and indirect evidence from 2 systematic reviews supports that the risk of sexual dysfunction may be lower with bupropion than other antidepressants (escitalopram, paroxetine, sertraline, and fluoxetine), while 1 systematic review showed no significant difference in sexual function scores between bupropion and venlafaxine.

There is limited evidence supporting the cost-effectiveness of bupropion to augment citalopram, and dominance of vortioxetine compared to bupropion, for major depressive disorder with inadequate response to initial therapy.

There is a lack evidence surrounding the comparative clinical or cost-effectiveness of bupropion in dysthymia.
Interferon Gamma Release Assay for Identifying Latent Tuberculosis Infection in People With Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Vaccination
Authors: Brett Kendra , Severn Melissa
Published: September 2021

In people who have been vaccinated with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin, the interferon gamma release assay appears to be related to fewer diagnoses for latent tuberculosis infection, fewer prescriptions of preventive tuberculosis therapy, and no difference in the number of active TB cases compared to the tuberculin skin test (findings based on 1 [non-randomized study] of low quality).

No evidence-based guidelines were found regarding the identification of latent tuberculosis infection in people with previous Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination.
Models of Care for Chronic Pain
Authors: Brett Kendra , MacDougall Danielle
Published: September 2021

For chronic pain, 1 hub-and-spoke model and 4 stepped care models for the delivery of care in Canada and internationally were identified and described. No information was found on the use of the Oncology Care Model for chronic pain.

For other medical conditions, 9 stepped care models, 5 hub-and-spoke models, and the Oncology Care Model for the delivery of care in Canada and internationally were identified and described.

Patient-related outcomes used to evaluate the effectiveness of models of care for chronic pain include pain measures (e.g., intensity, duration), psychosocial outcomes (e.g., anxiety, depression), functional outcomes (e.g., disability, employment status), and health care utilization (e.g., opioid prescriptions, health care visits).

Various barriers and facilitators to providing care for patients with chronic pain were identified in the consultations and the literature. The most common factors that influenced the care provided to patients with chronic pain pertained to funding, support, and collaboration from the government and locally; having a centralized intake and referral system; and leveraging existing resources.

There appears to be considerable variation in the models of care used to address the care needs of patients with chronic pain. In Canada, there are provincial, regional, and local models, and local programs; some regions do not have a formalized approach for the provision of care for chronic pain patients.
Laxatives and Erectile Dysfunction Medications to Treat Side Effects of Opioid Agonist and Methadone Maintenance Therapy
Authors: Khangura Sara D. , Ryce Andrea
Published: September 2021

Opioid agonist and methadone maintenance therapies are essential medical interventions for effectively managing opioid use disorder. However, side effects, including constipation and erectile dysfunction can compromise treatment adherence and increase the risk of relapse.

No studies or guidelines describing the clinical effectiveness or recommendations for the use of laxatives or erectile dysfunction medications in the treatment of constipation or erectile dysfunction in patients undergoing OAT or MMT were identified.

Research is needed to understand the clinical effectiveness and inform guidance concerning the treatment of constipation with laxatives and the use of medications indicated for erectile dysfunction.
Fedratinib (Inrebic)
Authors: Team Reimbursement
Published: September 2021

Clinical evidence suggests that the JAK inhibitor Inrebic should be reimbursed as a treatment option for adults with myelofibrosis who cannot take or tolerate Jakavi. Inrebic cannot be prescribed to those who progress on Jakavi.

There is insufficient evidence to justify a cost premium for Inrebic over other JAK inhibitors reimbursed for the treatment of myelofibrosis.

If Inrebic is not reimbursed by public payers, best available therapy will be the only other treatment option for patients who cannot take Jakavi.
Dupilumab (Dupixent)
Authors: Team Reimbursement
Published: September 2021

Clinical evidence suggests that Dupixent should be reimbursed to treat patients aged 12 years and older with severe asthma and with a type 2 or eosinophilic phenotype or oral corticosteroid–dependent asthma.

Economic evidence suggests that a 93% price reduction is needed to ensure Dupixent is cost-effective at a $50,000 per quality-adjusted life-year threshold relative to standard of care alone.

Cost-effectiveness versus other biologics is unknown.

CADTH was unable to estimate the budget impact due to a high degree of uncertainty.

Low hydrological connectivity after summer drought inhibits DOC export in a forested headwater catchment
Authors: Blaurock Katharina , Beudert Burkhard , Gilfedder Benjamin S. , Fleckenstein Jan H. , Peiffer Stefan , Hopp Luisa
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Understanding the controls on event-driven dissolved organic carbon (DOC) export is crucial as DOC is an important link between the terrestrial and the aquatic carbon cycles. We hypothesized that topography is a key driver of DOC export in headwater catchments because it influences hydrological connectivity, which can inhibit or facilitate DOC mobilization. To test this hypothesis, we studied the mechanisms controlling DOC mobilization and export in the Große Ohe catchment, a forested headwater in a mid-elevation mountainous region in southeastern Germany. Discharge and stream DOC concentrations were measured at an interval of 15 min using in situ UV-Vis (ultraviolet–visible) spectrometry from June 2018 until October 2020 at two topographically contrasting subcatchments of the same stream. At the upper location (888 m above sea level, a.s.l.), the stream drains steep hillslopes, whereas, at the lower location (771 m a.s.l.), it drains a larger area, including a flat and wide riparian zone. We focus on four events with contrasting antecedent wetness conditions and event size. During the events, in-stream DOC concentrations increased up to 19 mg L−1 in comparison to 2–3 mg L−1 during baseflow. The concentration–discharge relationships exhibited pronounced but almost exclusively counterclockwise hysteresis loops which were generally wider in the lower catchment than in the upper catchment due to a delayed DOC mobilization in the flat riparian zone. The riparian zone released considerable amounts of DOC, which led to a DOC load up to 7.4 kg h−1. The DOC load increased with the total catchment
wetness. We found a disproportionally high contribution to the total DOC
export of the upper catchment during events following a long dry period. We
attribute this to the low hydrological connectivity in the lower catchment
during drought, which inhibited DOC mobilization, especially at the
beginning of the events. Our data show that not only event size but also
antecedent wetness conditions strongly influence the hydrological
connectivity during events, leading to a varying contribution to DOC export
of subcatchments, depending on topography. As the frequency of prolonged
drought periods is predicted to increase, the relative contribution of
different subcatchments to DOC export may change in the future when
hydrological connectivity will be reduced more often.

research alumni preparedness for the job market. The aim of the study was to analyze alumni competences of the Master`s study program in Human Geography and compare them to job market demands. The analysis of theoretical performance appraisal by competencies indicated the importance of employee competencies. Graduates must be competent in professional erudition, functional flexibility, innovation and knowledge management, human resource mobilization, international orientation etc. The Master study program of Human Geography at KU has been successfully operating since 1998, and the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport included it in the list of the unique study programs in the Republic of Lithuania. In order to ensure that the competencies of the students could correspond to the labor market, the developers and renewers of the study program must regularly listen to the feedback of the graduates, who completed this program. A qualitative focus group study was conducted in order to reveal a reflection of graduates and their appraisal for better matching of the program to labor market needs. Empirical data were collected during the alumni round table discussion. The study involved 10 alumni and qualitative content analysis was performed to analyze the empirical data. After analyzing the data of the interview-discussion research, the following 7 categories were distinguished: Project preparation competence – one of the most important competencies of the master’s study program; GIS program management competence formation and application in work activities; International orientation, foreign language skills open more opportunities; Information, literature search and competences of literature analysis; Tendencies of adaptability of students competencies in practical and work activities; Unawareness of the profession of human geography in society; Suggestions for better compliance of alumni competencies with the labor market. The interview-discussion statements of the research participants were concentrated in the following main subcategories: Academic worldview formation (s); Strong alumni foreign language competence; Application of competencies shows wide multifunctionality of the study program; Importance of application of competencies is unquestionable; Project preparation competence is successfully applied or has a strong potential for application in work activities in the short and long term; Literature analysis; Information, literature search, etc.

The content of all categories and subcategories is localized at a positive level of matching labor market to graduates’ competencies.

ANÁLISE DOS ARGUMENTOS JURÍDICOS PRESENTES NO PALAMEDES DE GÓRGIAS
Authors: Santos Meneses Thatiane
Published: September 2021

A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo fazer uma análise sobre o método do discurso empregado por Górgias em sua obra intitulada de “A Defesa de Palamedes” por meio de uma apreciação filosófica analítica do texto, tomando por base o modelo jurídico adotado na Grécia nos idos do século V a.C. A pesquisa tem como objetivos específicos investigar o método gorgiano de defesa na Defesa de Palamedes, identificar, na mesma obra, os elementos retóricos de persuasão empregados por Górgias, compreender os princípios jurídicos utilizados por Górgias na obra em comento e estimar qual seria a real intenção de Górgias com a apresentação da Defesa de Palamedes. Trataremos detidamente de dois pontos básicos apontados no discurso de Palamedes, que seria a ausência de provas e a verossimilhança das alegações. Será feita ainda uma abordagem de tais pontos à luz do manual de retórica proposto por Aristóteles. O tema é relevante para a compreensão do desenvolvimento das reflexões filosóficas acerca dos processos jurídicos e os meios para efetuar a persuasão. O entendimento desses questionamentos dos pensadores antigos lançará luz sobre as discussões atuais quanto a esses temas, nos possibilitando compreender aspectos importantes deste desenvolvimento bem como a transmissão dessas reflexões ao longo do tempo.
FAKE POPULARITY FOR REAL MONEY: COMMERCIAL ASTROTURFING AND DATA BUBBLE
ON CHINESE DIGITAL PLATFORM
Authors: Han Xiaofei , Hou Jiaxi
Published: September 2021

This on-going research delineates the constructing of an interlocking
ecosystem around popularity magnification on popular Chinese digital platforms, which we
refer as “data bubble”. Similar to the bubble in a stock market or in real estate market in
different economies where the price of assets substantially exceeds its intrinsic value, we
propose “data bubble” as a neologism to describe the phenomenon and ecosystem of
manipulating data to aim for an inflated popularity on Chinese digital platforms, which
ultimately pitch to higher commercial and financial values. We argue that data bubble is
laced with platform company’s commercial and financial imperatives, logics of datafication
and popularity of platform as data infrastructure, and active participation from different
user groups and complementors, and a deeply embedded mentality of “traffic is king”. It is
achieved through mixed data practices including data optimization, commercial astroturfing,
and counterfeit data manufacturing behind which a wide range of actors and entities are
involved. They range from platforms, individual end users (fans in particular), influencers,
multi-channel networks (MCNs) and incubators, celebrities and their agencies, click farms,
and advertisers—all of them have achieved their own ends and thus actively participated in
fabricating data bubble in one way or another. The practices of data manipulating and
optimization by different participants in constructing data bubble, as a result, have driven
the data metrics on Chinese platforms far over—and no longer representative of—the actual
popularity.
Anesthesia Management in Endovascular Aortic Repair
Authors: Karaveli Arzu
Published: September 2021

Objective: Our study aimed to examine retrospectively the anesthesia techniques and their results applied to patients who underwent endovascular aortic repair due to aortic pathology. Methods: This retrospective and observational study included patients who underwent EVAR or TEVAR for abdominal and/or thoracic aortic aneurysm between 2015-2021. Patients’ demographic data, type of surgery and anesthesia, duration of surgery and anesthesia, amount of blood transfusion, lengths of stay in ICU and of hospital were recorded. Results: The data of 206 patients who underwent EVAR and TEVAR for abdominal and/or thoracic aortic aneurysm were obtained. TEVAR was applied to 63 patients and EVAR was applied to 143 patients. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia (GA) in all 63 patients who underwent TEVAR, while 15 patients who underwent EVAR were operated under GA and 128 patients under regional anesthesia (RA). The mean anesthesia and surgery times were found 136.1±72.0 min. and 112.2±71.3 min. in GA patients and it was 112.2±71.3 min. and 96.5±32.1 min. in RA patients. The mean length of ICU and hospital stays were determined as 1.6±2.1 days and 3.1±2.7 days in GA patients, and 1.2±0.6 days and 3.1±2.5 days in RA patients. Conclusion: GA or RA methods are preferred as anesthesia techniques in patients undergoing EVAR due to aortic aneurysm. Although RA has advantages compared to GA, such as shorting the lenght of hospital and ICU stays, reducing the blood product requirements, shorting both anesthesia and surgery times, patient characteristics should also be considered in the selection of anesthesia techniques.

Published: September 2021

It is necessary to open subcutaneous arteriovenous fistulas for patients with chronic renal failure for the future steps of dialysis. These surgical procedures are performed under sedation, local anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or general anesthesia. In this case report, we shared our anesthesia experience in a patient with comorbid diseases, high BMI, and difficult airway to undergo fistula surgery between the left brachial artery and the left axillary vein. We performed serratus anterior plane block and infraclavicular block which was successful, and the surgical procedure was performed comfortably without any complications. Infraclavicular block and upper-level serratus anterior plane block can be applied together for anesthesia of the T1-T2 dermatome.

The main purpose of this study is to revitalize the concept of wise and controlled supply of water for domestic, industrial and agricultural applications which facilitate sustainable usage of fresh water resources. As Eritrea is striving to manage its water resources, attention paid primarily to enable water flow control mechanisms in municipal water distribution systems. A table top process control trainer (PCT) was tested through proportional(P), integral (I) and derivative (D) control mechanisms using Ziegler-Nichols second method to evaluate the tuning variables. Applying exclusively P control action, critical period of oscillation (𝑃𝑃𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐) was estimated as 1.4 sec at proportional band value of 9. P, PI and PID controller performance studies were conducted with tuned variables on the water flow control system at different step disturbances between 20 – 50 % and their corresponding responses were characterized. P controller exhibited faster responses with consistent increments in offset, PI controller recorded highest overshoot values with negligible offset and prolonged settling times. PID controller showed less overshoot values and faster response times than PI but it increased chatter on the control output signal. The study revealed that the system can be safely controlled between 0-80 LPH. If the offset is not a major concern, P controller would be reflected suitable with simple design and minimum expenditure, else PI controller makes offset to zero though it possesses higher settling times. In other words, PID controller is complex using more tuning parameters, need expensive maintenance, and has resulted an intermittent noise in the output signal.

The yogurt was obtained from a combination of 50% goat's milk and 50% cow's milk with the inclusion of scald fruits of aronia (Aronia melanocarpa), raspberries (Rubus idaeus), strawberry (Fragaria xanassa). Physico-chemical and microbiological indices were determined, according to standard methods, after manufacture and storage, after 1, 5, 10, 15 days. Compared to other samples, yogurt with aronia showed the best values of the dynamics specific to the development of microorganisms: 2.93.107 cfu/ml; the growth rate of lactic acid bacteria at fermentation 0.95 μ; physico-chemical indices: titratable acidity 85 ± 0.078⁰T, pH 4.28 ± 0.002, water activity 0.875 ± 0.025; total dry matter 18.45 ± 0.31%, viscosity 2500 ± 0.023 mPa s, ash content 0.89 ± 0.10% and the optical density 2.531 ± 0.054 nm. Yeasts and molds were not detected in any of the samples. From a physico-chemical point of view, in storage, in all fruit yogurt samples the titratable acidity showed increasing values, pH remaining in the range of permissible values. In storage fruits formed an association to control the microbiological risk and stability of yogurt. Fruit yogurt shows a synergism with Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Lactococcus lactis subsp lactis biovar diacetilactis. The overall Pearson coefficient (Pc = f(pH and MC) for all fruit yogurt samples is -0.95066.

Dislipedemia merupakan penyakit yang disebabkan oleh abnormalitas pada metabolisme lipid. Sampai saat ini simvastatin masih menjadi lini pertama dalam pengobatan dislipidemia. Namun selain mengggunakan obat sintetis, bahan alam juga dapat dimanfaatkan dalam mengatasi kolesterol tinggi sebagai alternatif menurunkan kadar kolesterol. Salah satunya adalah buah semangka (Citrullus lanatus) yang mengandung senyawa arginine, betain, sitrulin, kukurbitasin, likopen dan pekin. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode penambatan molekuler (molecular docking) yang digunakan untuk menyeleksi senyawa berdasarkan interaksinya dengan protein target dan prediksi biovaibilitasnya.. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mencari potensi senyawa dari buah semangka untuk dijadikan kandidat obat dislipidemia. Molecular docking terhadap simvastatin sebagai obat pembanding memberikan energi bebas sebesar -9.05 kkal/mol dengan asam amino yang terikat adalah LYS692, ALA751, LYS735, ARG590, SER684, LYS691, ASN755. Serin (SER684) merupakan asam amino kunci dan sering memainkan peran penting dalam katalisator enzim. Hasil pengujian terhadap 6 senyawa yang terkandung didalam buah semangka, terdapat dua senyawa potensial yaitu sitrulin dan pektin. Senyawa sitrulin memberikan energi bebas -5.67 kkal/mol dengan asam amino yang terikat adalah GLU559, ARG590, LYS735, SER684, LYS692, ASP690. Senyawa pektin memberikan energi bebas -7.27 kkal/mol dengan asam amino yang terikat adalah ARG590, SER684, LYS692, ASP690, LYS691. Artinya senyawa tersebut mampu menghambat biosintesis kolesterol. Penentuan prediksi sifat biovaibilitas menunjukkan semua senyawa memenuhi parameter Lipinskiâ€™s rule of five sehingga kedua senyawa tersebut berpotensi sebagai kandidat obat dislipidemia.
