Introduction: Adherence to prescribed medication is a crucial part of patient care and indispensable for reaching clinical goals.In view of long duration of diabetes, there is a requirement to observe adherence to anti diabetic drugs by patients.In this study 4-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-4) has been used which is validated in the broadest range of diseases and also in patients with low literacy hence is the most widely used scale for research purposes.Methodology: It was a cross-sectional descriptive observational study for duration of 12 months.A total 400 known patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus from endocrinology outdoor of tertiary care hospital, were recruited and data collected.Adherence to antidiabetics was assessed using Morisky's medication adherence score (four point).Results: Most commonly observed age group was of 40-50 years (mean age 53.76 + 8.84), with male preponderance (57.5%).67.5% of total were obese (mean BMI 29.79 + 3.26).Adherence to treatment was medium in 66% of the patients. Conclusion:The adherence observed to treatment in the study was not satisfactory and a multifaceted approach is needed to improve adherence.

A self-reporting questionnaire is the most convenient and easiest way to assess the medication adherence.A new 14-item selfreported Morisky Medication Adherence Scale [MMAS] has shown better results than the original 4-item Morisky scale.The data were derived from a prospective descriptive study, a convenience sample of 120 Type 2 diabetic inpatients were identified at the Tertiary Hospital, Tamil Nadu between May and October, 2022.Approximately 95% (115) of the patient who were approached agreed to participate.Face to face interview which includes asking the questions regarding medication adherence MMAS and collection of socio-demographic data.We conclude that the 14-item MMAS is a high valid and reliable questionnaire to screen medication adherence in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.Measuring adherence to diabetes mellitus patients is the first step in identifying and improving adherence.Non-adherence is a major factor that could lead to morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients.These findings suggest that the MMAS is a reliable and valid measure of self-reported medication adherence.

Objiective To explore the inhibitory effects of 13 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines on N.gonorrhoeae in vitro. Methods The thirteen kinds of Chinese herbal medicines mainly inclnded Eugenia caryophyllata Thunb,Coptis chinensis Franch,Polygonum cuspidatum. et Zucc,Rhus chinensis Mill,Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb,Pulsatilla chinensis(Bge.)Regel and so on. The ethnal extrac was made from each of thirteen kinds of Chinese herbal medicines and diluted to different concentrations . Then their bacteriostasis were observed and minimum concentration (MIC) of inhibition of N.gonorrhoeae was determined. Results The MIC of Coptis chinensis Franch was 6.25mg/ml; The MIC of Pericarpium granati and Polygonum cuspidatum. et Zucc was 12.5mg/ml; The MIC of Phellodendron chinese Schneid 、Eugenia caryophyllata Thunb and Rhus chinensis Mill was 25mg/ml.The MIC of Sophrra flavescens Ait was 100mg/ml.Conclusions Coptis chinensis Franch,Pericarpium granati, Polygonum cuspidatum. et Zucc ,Phellodendron chinese Schneid,Eugenia caryophyllata Thunb and Rhus chinensis Mill have strong inhibitory effects on N.gonorrhoeae in vitro.The Coptis Chinensis Franch has the strongest effect on N.gonorrhoeae in 13 kids of Chinese herbal medicines.

Peradangan sendi atau artritis merupakan salah satu penyakit inflamasi kronis yang memerlukan penggunaan obat jangka panjang. Penggunaan obat artritis seperti metotreksat dan NSAID dalam waktu lama dapat menimbulkan berbagai efek samping serius, sehingga diperlukan alternatif pengobatan yang relatif lebih aman terutama dari bahan herbal. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menguji aktivitas anti-inflamasi minyak herbal tradisional Usada Bali dari bahan Jahe (<em>Zingiber officinale</em>), Kunyit (<em>Curcuma longa</em>), Kencur (<em>Kaemferia galanga</em>), Bangle (<em>Zingiber montanum</em>), Cengkeh (<em>Syzigium aromaticum</em>) dan Kayu Manis (<em>Cinnamomum burmanii</em>) pada mencit inflamasi yang diinduksi karagenan melalui pengujian secara topikal. Mencit dibagi empat kelompok yang terdiri dari kelompok kontrol negatif (pembawa), kontrol positif (Natrium Diklofenak topikal), minyak herbal 150 dan 300 mg/ml. Volume peradangan kaki mencit diukur dengan alat pletismometer setiap jam selama empat jam setelah diinduksi dengan karagenan 0,5% (b/v) subplantar, kemudian diuji secara statistik (<em>Mann-Whitney</em>) dengan taraf kepercayaan 95%. Skrining fitokimia menunjukkan bahwa minyak herbal mengandung senyawa flavonoid, terpenoid dan steroid. Hasil uji aktivitas anti-inflamasi menunjukan adanya penghambatan peradangan yang signifikan (p<0,05) oleh minyak herbal konsentrasi 150 mg/ml maupun 300 mg/ml dengan persentase penghambatan pada jam ke-4 masing-masing sebesar 16,52% dan 11,30%, serta tidak berbeda bermakna dibandingkan kontrol positif (p>0,05). Hasil tersebut menunjukkan adanya potensi minyak herbal Usada Bali sebagai anti-inflamasi topikal.

Akar ginseng merah asia (Panax ginseng) merupakan tanaman obat tradisional dengan kandungan ginsenoside sebagai anti inflamasi dan penyembuhan luka. Penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian topikal ekstrak akar ginseng merah asia (Panax ginseng) konsentrasi 0,5% dan 1% terhadap jumlah sel fibroblas dalam proses penyembuhan ulkus traumatikus pada tikus wistar diabetes.
Metode penelitian berjenis eksperimental laboratories. Sampel penelitian yang digunakan adalah 25 ekor tikus jantan wistar (Rattus novergicus) umur 2-3 bulan yang dibagi menjadi 5 kelompok yaitu kontrol negatif tanpa DM, kontrol negatif dengan DM, kontrol positif dengan pemberian aloclair, perlakuan 1 dengan pemberian topikal ekstrak akar ginseng merah asia konsentrasi 0,5% dan perlakuan 2 dengan pemberian topikal ekstrak kar ginseng merah asia konsentrasi 1%. Analisa data menggunakan uji statistik Oneway Anova dan dilanjutkan dengan uji Post Hoc test LSD
Berdasarkan uji Oneway Anova didapatkan nilai signifikansi < 0,05 dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada pengaruh yang signifikan pemberian topikal ekstrak akar ginseng merah asia terhadap jumlah sel fibroblas. Dari uji Post Hoc test LSD didapatkan nilai signifikansi < 0,05 berarti bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara kelompok kontrol negatif dengan DM dengan kelompok perlakuan 1 dan kelompok perlakuan 2
Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian topikal ekstrak akar ginseng merah asia mempunyai pengaruh terhadap jumlah sel fibroblas dalam proses penyembuhan ulkus traumatikus pada tikus wistar diabetes dimana semakin tinggi konsentrasi ekstrak yang diberikan semakin tinggi pula sel fibroblas yang terbentuk sehingga penyembuhan luka lebih cepat .
